Gino

Looks like I got myself into a pretty sticky situation.
Introduction xxxxxOnce upon a time there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The end! Description xxxxxGino is tall and lanky, with thick dark hair, a Roman nose, angular features. Very angular -- his brow and cheekbones are lined with hardened calcium plates, forming sharp, protective ridges around his dark eyes. His jawline and ears are similarly jagged; he also has pointy calcareous plating on his elbows and knees; on his knuckles, ankles, and the tops of his feet; down his spine; lining his hip bones and clavicles; and in the acne scarring on his cheeks, shoulders, and back. These growths are a dull bone-grey color, streaked with dusty reddish-purple, and contrast only slightly with his (also) pale, ashy skin. He dresses bright and summery -- getting fabric caught in his spikes is his own sensory hell, so he wears a lot of shorts and sandals and Hawaiian shirts. Often he sports a thin, droopy mustache and goatee. Both of his arms are heavily tattooed in black and white. Reputation xxxxxFormer Freaktonian from a house of loud, brash, reckless young men who seemed to spend all of their free time trying to kill each other, either in the pursuit of something they hoped would be fun and awesome, or in needlessly passive-aggressive personality clashes that, bizarrely, never got physical. (They officially called themselves Corona House; many people referred to them as That House.) Doesn't have much of a reputation around the tunnels yet. History xxxxxMorlock via Freaktown via Prometheus. Born and raised in Staten Island, actually, but he talks about Florida like he's from there. Powers xxxxxSticks things to other things -- specifically, he is able to instantly fuse any number of solid items together along all points of surface-to-surface contact. These bonds form on a molecular level and are basically permanent if left alone, but they can also be instantly reversed, returning the surfaces to their original forms, with no trace of the attachment. Unfortunately he has to stick them to himself first. Skills xxxxxSwimming, surfing, skateboarding, all at amateurish levels but with surprising, easy grace. Patching his own clothes, cutting his own hair. Cleaning and cooking fish. Running in slide sandals. He's not so good with conventional weaponry, but a crack shot with improvised launching weapons (typically, "stick with objects stuck to it") and has an uncanny sense for speed, distance, directions, and time -- if he says he'll be somewhere in twelve minutes then, barring death or serious injury, he'll probably be there in twelve minutes. Connections Homies Zack Lumin Bros Anahita Anole Nessie Bug Everyone Else Trivia Missing a couple fingers on his left hand in what he claims was a "Florida incident." He's been picking up tattoos left and right since he left home at 18, though these days he has to dunk himself in saltwater for a while before his skin is normal enough to ink. His right arm bears an assortment of marine life -- schools of fish, coral, seaweed, sharks, dolphins, turtles, mollusks, crustaceans -- not arranged into much of a cohesive picture; there's also a rose, Psalm 31:24 in cursive script, a mermaid, and a palm tree in there from before he settled on a theme. His left arm was more carefully planned out -- it depicts the story of Daniel in the lions' den, a protective angel suggested in the shadows and highlights of the scene. Almost always wears a puka shell necklace. He thinks it's funny. He's a bit of an opera queen, little though he has the budget for that these days. Used to collect vinyl, but it's all in care of one of his cousins now and he thinks it unlikely he'll get it back.

He spent the pandemic in a Prometheus lab and is not loving the new normal. Surf & turf - Gino likes both street surfing and regular surfing, though these days it's easier for him to get to a skate park than to a beach. Often he can be found blowing off steam on the ramps; his stickiness makes it possible to pull off some wild tricks. Ichthys - Gino was raised devoutly Catholic, and though he never lost his faith after leaving home, he also never found a replacement for the community and support he had there growing up. Someday he's hoping find it again. Don't make waves - Gino is restless, untethered, and anxious for purpose; he may not have found his way to mutant community until leaving Prometheus, but he's driven and determined to protect what's left of the one he had.
