NAME
Codename: Sight
Legal Name: Christian Walker, Jr.
Former Alias(es): None
Nickname(s): Si, Gray Eyes
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 200 lbs
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hair Color: Near-Black Gray
Eye Color: Completely Gray with a slight glow
Appearance: Sight looks like an average man, except for eyes. Instead of normal eyes, he has two completely gray, glowing eye-shaped orbs. He has gray hair, but it is such a darker gray, that it can almost be considered black.
His attire consists mostly of solid color shirts, (usually white or black so he knows what he is wearing), both long-sleeve or short-sleeve, and multiple pairs black cargo pants. He also has a few pairs of denim shorts. He wears grey-colored athletic shoes.
ABILITIES
Mutation: Super-Vision His mutant eyes have special properties. They allow him to see on every spectrum of light. It is controllable, and he is able to see on as many or as few spectrums as he wants, but since he lost his memory, it is very difficult, and he is only slowly getting control back. He is also capable of seeing through objects and walls, as well as skin, able to look at organs and muscles inside of other people's bodies.
He can also adjust the "brightness" of his vision. If the room is dark, he can increase the brightness and see normally, likewise if it is very bright, he can turn it down. Often to sleep he will just darken his eyes near completely.
His eyes are incredibly durable as well, their ability to withstand damage is on the level of metals such as titanium.
[Note: He has the capability of telescopic vision (being able to "zoom in" and "zoom out" his sight, but it is a fact he doesn't not know about, and something that I don't intend for him to discover for awhile.]
Laser Vision: He is also capable of shooting low-powered, but very concentrated laser blasts from his eyes. Doing so impairs his vision for a short time, by decreasing the "brightness", as well as losing focus, and becomes blurry.
Power Weaknesses: While he is able to (or has the potential to) see on many different levels of vision, he is completely color-blind. He only sees in black, white and shades of gray. The only exception is when he is using his infrared vision, heat sources will be reddish-pink in color. His sight is also not very sharp, and he cannot read or watch screens. At times, for no reason, his vision will blank out, and he won't be able to see very well, as if he were in a barely lit room. The reasons for this can vary, but stress is the main cause.
Power Source: None
Fighting Skills: Is extremely fit and works out frequently, working with a bag. With some training, he could be a very able combatant.
Physical Weaknesses: Except for his eyes, he is an average human and susceptible to death like any other.
Other Skills: Even after memory loss, he has retained his ability to speak several different languages. He fluently speaks French, in addition to English; can speak very well in Latin America Spanish and knows some German and Russin.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Orientation: Straight
Personality: Sight can be described as someone who really feels for people. Not being able to see perfectly, he listens to what people say, and thinks about it. He doesn't judge people's appearances, nor does he care what they say, but what they do, what is in their heart.
He is a fighter, but only in the sense that he fights for himself. He doesn't pick fights, he doesn't force things to happen. As long as he knows he is being treated as fairly as he can be, he doesn't care what happens. This doesn't mean he won't defend himself or his friends, but merely that he won't start the fight, only finish it. He fights for what he believes, be it physical or verbal, and he won't back down.
To him, all life is special. and deserves to be allowed to grow. He sincerely believes in the good of mankind, and that all men and women have the capacity to change.
He enjoys having fun, and loves to laugh and joke around with others, but hasn't had the chance to do it much in his life. His favorite thing to do is, believe it or not, watch movies. Visually, he can only get a vague sense of what is going on, but he doesn't watch them for that, but for the sounds, the story, the emotion of the actors. He loves music of all kinds as well, once saying that every emotion that man can ever have is expressed through music.
Goals: To be of some use to the world
Psychological Weaknesses: Wonders about his old life, and fears what may have happened to have caused him to lose his memory. Can get very uncomfortable and nervous when people talk about his appearance, more specifically his eyes. Can be like a child in some respects since his memory loss. He can also get very frustrated if he remembers part of something, but not the rest.

HISTORY
Christian Walker, Jr. was born on October 20th, but many thought he should've been born eleven days later. His physical mutation, his eyes, existed from when he was born, but his powers did not. His parents and every doctor they talked to, believe he would never see. And he wouldn't until he was thirteen.
His young life was quiet. His parents wouldn't allow him out in public other than school, and no matter how rich his parents were, and what they did and got him, he never felt any better, because he was alone. No one to talk to other than his parents when they were home, or a babysitter that often stayed as far away as possible.
When he was around eight years old, Christian began watching movies. Even though he couldn't see what was happening, he enjoyed the adventures, and the sounds...the emotion of it all. He started getting into music is well, really enjoying all of the different kinds that existed. "Music is like people, unique and individual, no song exactly alike."
When he was thirteen, he was at junior high school, because he and his parents insisted he could still do good work, even without sight. And it was true. From a young age, he had a great capacity for listening. He would listen to things and rarely would forget them. This skill allowed him to learn various languages quicker and easier than most of his fellow students. By middle school, he was completely fluent in French, as well as having learned some words in Spanish.
But, one day, his life changed. Some kids were picking on him because of his eyes, and kept getting in front of him, blocking his path. He got upset because all he wanted to do was see the way to class. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he could see completely, but like a black and white movie. His vision then started to change, as he saw through layers of objects. He was excited by this, and was able to quickly get by the bullies.
He was excited, because the first time in his life he could see, but not just see, look into things. He could tell which shell had something under it in shell games; depending on the decks used, he could tell what cards people had while playing a game with them. And like any other teenage boy with this kind of power, he invaded some girls' privacy, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.
It helped him get through school easier, because while he still couldn't read, he could see objects and some pictures and learn what they are. He also began to workout and get into shape, as he could finally see well enough to do so. From working with his power, he discovered he could see more than just visible things, but also invisible things, such as radiation and gamma rays as well. He could see in infrared, and by simply concentrating, he could change how well he could see in the dark.
He was able to complete high school, and went to college and did well. He wanted a degree as a teacher, so that he could teach kids with disabilities like he had had, and still had to a point. But while he was at school, his 'unique' skills, caught the attention of some scientists working for the company NovaTech. When offered a job as a specialist, Christian signed on. Finally, Christian had thought at the time, he would get recognized for what he could contribute, his unique vision.
They wanted him there to watch the levels of radiation while people were working, which he gladly did. He saved many lives when he discovered leaks on more than one occasion. It all went well, he completed his master's degree in college, taking much longer than an average student due to his issues with sharp vision.
He was about to end his job at NovaTech, since there hadn't been any incidents in a while, and the project was just about finished, when he noticed an extremely high amount of gamma radiation coming from a room. Upon looking in, he discovered the project...it was a bomb, a gamma bomb. He tried to leave, but were stopped by several technicians, who knocked him out......
When he woke up....he didn't know who he was. His memories of what he did in his life were heavily fragmented or missing entirely, and his knowledge of subjects, movies, objects, music was damaged, but not completely gone. He couldn't remember his name, how old he was, or anything like that. It took him some time to find out the date and where he was. While he was searching, he discovered four-hundred dollars in fifty dollar increments in pant pocket, so he bought some shirts, undergarments and pants, a hoodie and a pair of sunglasses to cover his eyes so people wouldn't be freaked out by them, as well as a bag to put them all in.
As he was getting food that night, he heard two people talking about the X-Men, and the Graymalkin Foundation, a school and home for mutants. Using a nearby library, with some help from a librarian, he was able to plot a way to San Francisco by bus, with only having to stop to sleep once, that he could make with his remaining money left. So he took off for the Foundation, hoping they could help him regain control of his powers, and to help teach him the things he didn't know anymore.

SAMPLE POST
Sight looked at the mirror and focused, trying to keep his vision normal. He found it so hard to control, he couldn't understand how to control the layers of vision. He kept seeing through the wall of the motel room he was in, when all he wanted was to look into the mirror hanging on it, like a normal person would.....or a color-blind normal person at least. He knew he could control it once, he remembered that...he just couldn't remember how.
Finally, after a few moments, the layers focused and he could see himself in the mirror. His messed up hair, his lifeless grey shapes that were his "eyes". At least he assumed they were grey. He brought the comb that was gripped in his hands and ran it through his hair until it looked clean and presentable. He need to make an impression, seeing as how he'd look like a freak the moment he took off his sunglasses..
"They'll understand, people call them freaks all of the time," He said to the mirror, but didn't feel comforted by the words. "How will anyone let me near them, I can see through walls, through bodies, through skin even. I can watch their heart beating...yet, I can't read anything unless the text is huge." It was stupid, but he couldn't read to save his life, he just couldn't focus well enough. He was hoping the X-Men could help him. He lost his memory, and didn't know how to get it back....but he did know that he needed help to restore the knowledge he lost. "Being able to say hello in five languages isn't going to help me when I can't remember world history past maybe fourth or fifth grade."
Straightening up, he turned and grabbed a black (or very dark blue, he could never tell) hoodie out of his bag, and put it on over his solid white t-shirt. He then put on his sunglasses, grabbed his bag of clothes, and headed for the door.
