Character LJ (if applicable): [info]soothsayer
Physical description (face, build, weight): An older looking man with close cut hair that's starting to thin out. He himself doesn't look fat or thin. He has a very average kind of apperance. What would be noticeable though is the fact he has a nice spider web patter of scars on his right fore arm that look very smoothed out from age.
Age: 36
PB: (If using one.) Kevin Spacey
Abilities: An average man simply can't lie to him. They find it's very difficult and for some reason they slip up. The truth never stays buried around him. He is also mildly clairvoyant. By touching objects he can get a read on what happened somewhere within forty eight hours of him being there.
Weaknesses and flaws: He smokes a lot. He hates other people handling his things since he will get a physic black lash. He also walks with a slight but noticeable limp from getting shot last year. He often suffers from headaches if he comes into contact with too many things that have been touched by others recently. He himself has a very hard time lying since one of his own powers works against him.

Backstory: Ezekiel grew up in Queens with a very normal family. As a boy he was a terrible liar and his mothers always scolded him for trying to lie to her. When he was a young teenager and he got caught in a lie about what he had been doing with the head cheerleader by her boyfriend his mutation kicked in. It turned out that the jock had gotten so upset because he had been too shy to make a move before him so he found out after he got beaten up.

In the weeks that followed he noticed lots of people just couldn't help not lying in front of him. It was getting very annoying. That was wen he met the Headmaster of a school for special people like him. They talked about his mutation and the problems he had because of it. Together they talked with his parents and they decided they wanted Zeke to stay at home with them. He was honestly okay with it though he understood he had an open invitation to visit during the summers. He only went twice before he decided he didn't want to go back.
He graduated high school and while going to college so he could become a police detective he met a lovely young woman named Mary. They dated off and on because neither could tell a lie and often Zeke told her the truth about what she was wearing and she didn't feel very secure about herself. After he became a cop they met again and had one last fling that ended up with them staying together and married with a young son Ezekiel was very proud of. Their marriage ended when he found out she was cheating on him and had never wanted to marry him anyways. It hurt his feelings so as a result he threw himself into his work. He made detective. He tried to get to know his son but found that his son thought he wasn't his real father. It made him pull away from his ex-wife and son even more going after any case that was remotely long-term and took few brakes.

It was because of this he made a mistake last year and got shot by a suspect. He still finds it difficult to run at full speed. Around that time Xavier offered him a position an English teacher. He said he would think about it but hasn't really touched on it until he came across several sad and tragic deaths. It might be time to talk to Xavier once again.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: He comes to Xavier seeking help since there is a new drug out there that young mutants on the streets and in lower class families have been getting killed by. He's worried more mutants are getting killed by it and wants help catching the people making the drug.
What are you planning to do with this character? He's going to loose his badge over going to the X-Men for help and because he will be outed as a mutant during the plot. He will decide to take up an offer to teach.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Dealing with not being a cop and now being a teacher. Having a soft spot for the students.

Back story:

It was raining. Why, oh why did it have to be raining? He tried to not chew on the filter of his cigarette. It was a bad habit because then it would taste like shit. Now t begin his interview.

"Officers Davis. Come here. Now are you sure you found the body like this?"

The fresh faced young man nods with wide eyes. "Y-Yes sir. I was just walking the street when I found her?"

"That wasn't a question, officer," Brooks says calmly. Tell him the truth. Isn't the truth nice?

"No. I moved her to check her pulse and see if I could wake her up," the young man says while licking his lip. "When I couldn't feel her pulse I called it in."

Ezekiel nods at him. "Good. Now there were drugs near by?"

"Yeah. I left them as is sir. Okay. Show me." Together the two cops stop carefully through and Ezekiel bends down to look feeling his leg protest under the move. He cruses and makes a note to call Charles. It's that damn drug, fourth kid in as many weeks that has turned up like this.

"Zeke! We gotta problem," calls out another cop.

Shit.. Reporter.

"Get her the fuck away from my crime scean. we don't need this shit in the papers," Brooks barks as he climbs to his feet.
