[Halvor Apollyon]

Halvor Anik Apollyon
FACE CLAIM: Aramis Knight

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 16

GENDER: Male

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

POSITION: Student at Bellefonte

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Slow Time
As the name suggests Halvor can slow down time, not just the perception... literally slowing time itself. He can slow time as much as he wants, to a fault of course. When he slows time, he's able to use more effort to free others from being slowed down. They still move hindered though. (At about half speed, give or take, Hal also moves at half speed at all times using his power) Using his power requires attention, of course. However it's not something that require his full concentration at every second he wishes to use it, Hal is able to move well enough and is able to think without losing his grasp on the situation. Should he lose concentration time slowly goes back to normal speed.


LIMITATIONS:
Due to Hal being quite young, and his power manifesting recently his capabilities are quite limited. As of now he can only really affect a few people in the thread (about 3, with a fair amount of concentration.) Due to his young age he's unaware of the fact that his power gives off mental waves, giving away his location to telepaths, those who can control or affect the mind could also do some damage by using his mind to lessen or worsen the effects of his powers. Hal is only able to use his power while conscious and can't use his power for more than 10 minutes at a time as of now. When he reaches the time limit his power slowly loses it's effect, those under his influence regain their full range of movement after a minute or so. 



SIDE-EFFECTS:
When using his ability Halvor experiences dizziness, this can range from minor discomfort to vomiting and extreme vertigo. Should he push himself too far he could pass out, or even blackout. There is a small chance that extreme overuse could could render him (almost) comatose.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 5' 8"

HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown

EYE COLOR: Brown, but extended use of his power slowly turns them silver (For a short period of time)

MISC: N/A 

PERSONALITY: Halvor's name was quick to call himself Hal, he didn't really like his full name. He never understood why his parents would choose such as strange name. He often chose to use his wits to make fun of others instead of focusing on school. He is smart but doesn't care much for school, often making complaints that it's too boring and pointless. He judges others quickly and never really tried to reach out for relationships, thinking if they don't approach me why approach them?

Hal was kind enough that he was never really hated but nobody every really liked him that much. people laughed at his jokes unless they were targeted, Halvor had issues with containing his mouth, and he often disobeyed his teachers. He had been in a few fights at school, and won most of them. Sometimes he showed a deeper, kinder person when people were upset. Due to this people began to wonder if he was actually as harsh as he seemed. Hal's seemingly cold outside had started to thaw, and more often the kindness in him shines through than not.

SECRET(S): Halvor is afraid to become too attached to anybody, for fear of history repeating itself

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

(Trigger warning for violence)

Halvor was born in San Diego to an upper middle-class family. He grew up in a larger than average apartment and lived a good life. His mother was nurse and his father an accountant.

Hal's life really became interesting in the last few days of being a 15 year old, hearing stories of mutants he talked with his closest (and only) friend Mike about their theories about how mutants were even possible, and making fun of people making their own theories of where mutants lived. Having been pretty lonely through school his parents were worried why he never talked about his friends or heard him whisper about girls with the people he talked to. 

When Hal first realized he was a mutant, it came as quite a shock. It was a rainy night, with puddles and water running down the streets. Him and Mike were talking as usual, laughing about how dumb Jenny Higgens was and that she had said that people could walk on the sun when it was winter, Hal was laughing so hard he never saw the car as they crossed the street, he couldn't have seen it if he had looked, it was going much to fast, coming around a corner at 65 miles an hour on a day like this. He never heard the screech of the tires nor the cry of "Oh my god!" The only thing he saw was Mike's body getting tossed like a rag doll, he only heard the crunch of the body and the thunk it bouncing off a street light. The next thing he saw was every car slowing to a crawl, he could hear the patter of rain slow, and the people around him moved like they were ants in molasses, and the taste of strangely salty rain, rolling down his cheeks.

Halvor turned 16 in the 3 days he was going to therapy after seeing the accident. On the fourth day there were some people knocking on his door, his parents fearing he was being sent to some sort of school for people who'd seen some sort of awful thing were oblivious to the fact that they wore pins saying Bellefonte until the 'recruiters' as they called themselves told them outright that he was going to a school for mutants. When Hal heard them say he would go somewhere for mutants like him, it took him a while to realize he was the reason that everything had seemed slower that night. He nearly fell from surprise, it wasn't some sort of adrenaline rush, it had been all real, he was a mutant.
