| Introduction

|
xxxxxBilly is far from a conventional hero; though good natured he is passive and naïve and does very little to help himself. There really is no one better to represent utter, total helplessness. He’s dependent on the support of practically anyone who comes into contact with him. Still, he is industrious, humble, and blindly obedient.

| History
|
|
xxxxxNot a mutant from birth, Billy was instead born with what one might consider a veritable catalog of allergies. Because of these delicate predispositions, much of his early youth was spent with every runny nose being treated as if it were life threatening. When the time came, he was homeschooled, as was the family’s only viable option given his special needs.
His mutation began to gradually manifest itself at eleven, releasing him from much but not all of his previous medical hurdles and creating all new ones in their place. Still, because of his life up until then, his parents felt no hesitation in continuing to keep their son semi-sequestered.
xxxxxBy the time he was in his later teens, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Billy was entrusted to the care to the Xavier School for the Gifted. There, he finished up his High School years and learned the ins-and-outs of his powers in a safe environment. He has since moved off-campus and into the city, where he’s been pursuing a degree in early childhood & elementary education in the hopes of someday returning to the school to teach.

xxxxxBilly’s body passively produces a chemical that behaves similarly to but is not identical to a chlorine-based bleaching agent. Distributed via his bodily fluids (i.e. perspiration, mucus, blood), it has both powerful antimicrobial and whitening properties. In addition to being a sanitizer, this bleach can act as a strong, however temporary irritant to the skin, eyes or respiratory system in larger organisms.
xxxxxUnder normal circumstances, Billy’s bleaching is gradual, slowly killing off bacteria in the air and on the surfaces he comes into contact with, as well as fading out any color. In stressful situations where his body would produce larger quantities of sweat for example, the effects increase to whitening almost anything instantaneously. Direct contact with a larger quantity of Billy’s bleach can cause a burning sensation to the skin and drastically lower visual acuity if affecting the eyes, capable of momentarily stunning any assailant. (Attack Range: Direct Contact / Touch)
xxxxxThe only lasting or potentially lethal effects of Billy’s mutation comes from very long term exposure to him, particularly in poorly ventilated conditions. As some applications of bleach can create compounds that act as carcinogens in humans.
xxxxxBecause of Billy’s mutation, he has very fair pigmentation. He is highly vulnerable to the harmful rays of the sun, and light based attacks in general.

| Xavier's Alumn - Billy is a former student and retains ties with the school, hoping to return soon to do his student teaching. If you want to have known him, he was a wimp back then. Maybe you saved him from a bully. Maybe you coined that terrible nickname he had, what was it, again?
|
| NYC Resident - Billy lives in a studio apartment in Brooklyn. Thanks to student loans and daddy. So, he's around!
|
| Obvious Mutation - Billy has a slightly more obvious ability. The things he touches tend to turn white. The air around him can be a bit... stingy.
|
| Allergies - If you have a pet ...or could be considered a pet, yourself - Billy is probably terrified of you!
