Origin

Family Life

• Everett Thomas was born in Louis Missouri to Stan and Ida Thomas. His father was a blue collar working - a plumber, and his mother was a librarian. He grew up with an adopted sister, Kim Ho Twae in a loving family life.
• Everett was closest to his sister, who his parents had adopted. They were often together, though Everett had something of a big brother instinct towards her; he was rather protective, which caused the usual sort of familial bickering between siblings.
• A straight A student, Everett was always a serious sort of fellow; he was the sort of kid who had a few really close friends rather than lots of friends. He wasn't, however, unpopular in his school and could be considered fairly normal for most of his youth.
• The young man wasn't one for athletic sports, though he kept himself fit. Instead, he enjoyed more cerebral or down to earth pursuits. He was an accomplished amateur carpenter, liking to work with his hands.

Synchronization

• Not long ago, Everett and his family went on a trip to New York City. On this trip, they decided to see a lot of the sights. One of those sights was the Metahuman District. This was to be a life-changing experience.
• During this visit, Everett started to get a headache. He told his parents and sister to go on, and went to a small store and picked up a soda. While inside the store, the headache started to get worse, and then he started to glow. A sudden trip caused him to … shatter half the shelving in the story when a burst of energy exploded out of him. He had inadvertently synchronized with someone.
• The police came at that point, and it's very likely that Everett would have been arrested, except by coincidence someone from Xavier's School was in the area and recognized the event as the manifestation of a mutant power. Things were smoothed over as well as they could be.
• Things were explained to Everett and his parents at this point. Unlike some mutants, his parents were supportive and he transferred to Xavier's School late in the school year.

Psyche

• Curious: The reason Everett does so well in school isn't that he's a genius. He's bright, but normally so. The reason he does so well is because he's curious. He reads a lot, and likes to learn. Thus, he actually enjoys a lot of his schoolwork, learning about various topics. This also extends to his normal life. He's often curious about those around him and things that happen, which can lead to him prying in places he may not be wanted or shouldn't go.
• Friendly: Yes, Everett is serious. But he's also a nice, friendly young man. He isn't controlling or belligerent. He isn't the sort to let people get close to him easily, and is more likely to have a few good friends than lots of them, but he gets along well with others and is unlikely to cause problems.
• Goals: Everett's goals are pretty simple. He wants to finish his schooling and go on to college and get a degree in teaching, probably in mathematics or history. He also wants to use his powers to help people where he's able, to stand up against the tide of villainy that's been rising the past few years.
• Hard Worker: Everett is a hard worker. He's learned that without work, you won't get anywhere in life and is more than willing to put in that effort in order to learn or approach his goals. In fact, this sometimes leads to him pushing himself too far.
• Motivation: Some people are motivated by greed. Some are motivated by glory. Like many others, Everett is motivated simply by his ethics. He's a good kid, and was raised right. He wants to help people, he feels an obligation to do so as mentioned in his %xhSense of Duty%xn trait. He's the sort of kid who, while naive about some things really thinks that he has to be doing something for others.
• Sense of Duty: This comes with his upbringing. He cares about people, and has a sense of duty towards them. Before he gained his powers, he would volunteer at local hospitals and charities, trying to help people. Now, he has plans with the world as crazy as it seems to becoming (Godzilla in New York City!) to use his powers for good. He's fairly idealistic.
• Serious: Life is meant to be taken seriously. Sure, one can have fun sometimes, but you should approach things with care. Or so Everett would say. He's the sort of young man who will study for a test instead of blowing it off, who will put in all his effort while working a job, and will be the odd man out when others want to slack off.

Powers

• Aura Tracking: By locking on a metahuman's biosignature, Synch can use his abilities to track others. Once locked on, his aura extends in the general direction of the other metahuman, allowing him to go in their direction. This lock-on process cannot be accomplished worldwide. His range is about the area of a city. If he locks onto someone, and they flee, he can track them outside this range, though time and distance still cause the lock to slowly dissipate, so he can be eluded. This only works on metahumans; aliens, users of magic and technology are not able to be tracked.
• Synchronicity: Synch is able to do just that, synch his biosignature and bio-aura to other metahumans. When doing so, a multi-colored aura flares into existence around him, and he is able to use their abilities. Synch is able to use these abilities with ease, needing no time to master the abilities. In fact, at times he is able to use them in ways the target can't, such as at one point being able to fly with telekinesis when the target never thought of being able to do so.
  
  However, it is far more difficult to 'synch' to targets that have purely physical abilities such as super agility, super strength or durability. While still possible (he has synchronized with Monet and Spider-Man in comics), it takes far more time and effort, and it may be impossible for him to synch with those with exceptional physical traits without a lot of practice with that particular person.
  
  He cannot synchronize with those with alien, magical or technological abilities. Only metahumans.

Advantages

• Family: Everett's family still supports him, unlike many mutants who have issues with his family. If he's ever in trouble, he can go to them for help. Of course, they're working-class people so they can't do much, but they could hide him or do other things like that.
• Xavier's School Student: Everett is a student at Xavier's School. He has access to all facilities that a student can access, including library, computers, technology, and the teachers.

Skills

• Carpenter: This is Everett's hobby, working with wood. He's not an expert at it by any means, but he enjoys it and can make some nice things. He's only a kid after all, so think of him as a talented amateur hobbyist. That's what he is, after all!
• Chemistry: One of the classes Synch excels at his chemistry. He is pretty good at it, on a mundane level. He knows all sorts of things about it from the basic Charles' Law to more complex stuff. He knows what chemicals to not mix together because it's dangerous, and why it's dangerous. But, consider him a talented student. He's not going to make super-chemicals or such.
• Computer Geek: Synch likes computers. It's something he enjoys tinkering with. He is knowledgable in putting a computer together and can build one from scratch. This doesn't mean he can make microchips, but rather he can buy the parts like a motherboard, case, and so on and put one together without resorting to the Internet and the manuals for help. He's also fairly talented with computer programming, and even knows a bit of hacking. He's not hacking the Pentagon or anything, though. A local library would be more his speed. If he had reasons to do so, anyway.
• Persuasion: Everett is good with people, in spite of being a quiet sort. When he talks, people often listen, and he is good at convincing people that something is right. He isn't a master orator, nor is he a manipulator. But people tend to trust him.
• Tringual: Everett can also speak French and Japanese.

Flaws

• Family: Everett is a rarity, with a loving family. This, however, is also a danger as super-villains can find out and kidnap them or otherwise try to cause problems.
• Minor: Everett is a minor. He cannot make all of his own decisions. He is under the care of his parents and the Xavier School, and they often ask him to do things or prevent him from doing things that he might want to do.
• Obvious: A minor flaw to be sure, but it comes up from time to time. When Everett uses his powers, he's surrounded with an aura of multicolored light. This makes it difficult to sneak around or be subtle. Sometimes, stealth or subtlety is a requirement. In this case, he's kind of out of luck!
• Overworked, Overdone: Everett pushes himself. Hard. Sometimes, he pushes himself /too/ hard and can end up overtired, or makes himself sick with how far he's pushing himself. He might end up tearing a muscle practicing, or in the case of an attack by a super-villain, he might do something dangerous in order to protect others. In general, whatever's worth doing is worth OVERDOING, and this causes him a lot of problems.
• Physical Overload: As mentioned in powers, Everett has a harder time mimicking purely physical traits and it doesn't always work correctly. Sometimes, he just can't. Sometimes he can at a weaker level because of distance or unfamiliarity. Sometimes, he doesn't entirely copy the traits - especially with powerful characters - and he overstrains his body. Understandably, this is a problem at times, especially in times of conflict.%R
