Paul "Nexus" Valmont

[Paul Valmont]

Name: Paul “Nexus” Valmont
Age: 16

Power: Spatial rift generation - Paul can create teleportation portals. The creation of the portal requires a completely closed physical perimeter to create its boundaries, such as a doorway. Larger distances create more strain, as do larger perimeters and durations. The destination does not have to be enclosed, but is easier to generate if it also has a physical perimeter. Only portals that have a perimeter at both ends can be two-way.
Location imprint – Paul can set a number of locations where he’s previously created a portal into his mind so that he always knows where he is in relation to them and can easily teleport to them, regardless of distance. He always keeps an imprint to the Academy of Tomorrow, to a hotel his family vacationed at in Hawaii, and to a steakhouse in Texas that he’s never said how he managed to get to in the first place. He’s managed to keep two other locations in memory indefinitely, and has managed up to ten total in the past, with the excess fading within a week. Based on locations he has stored, he can generally manage to get close to any destination he wants by triangulating calculating distances, which he’s able to do with increasing accuracy depending on how many locations he’s stored.

Personality: Paul comes and goes as he pleases, anyone trying to tell him otherwise be damned. He doesn’t so much edge over the line as he does blatantly ignore and walk right past it, tending to suggest to his friends that perhaps they ought to do something like, say, study in Hawaii or take a look inside places they really aren’t allowed to be, since… well, who would stop them?

Description: 5’6”, Medium complexion, with shortish black hair and brown eyes. Athletically built, though not overdone.

Background: Paul’s upbringing was nothing all that phenomenal. His family was strictly middle class, so while he wasn’t uncomfortable growing up, they weren’t rich, either. This is something he tends to not talk about much. Since coming to the Academy of Tomorrow, he’s made himself quite a tidy little sum, having found that yes, people would pay quite the price to have something instantly delivered to or picked up from some remote place, which he can do without too much effort, letting him overcome his humble background. Mutants, after all, will inherit the earth. He doesn’t have anything against humans, of course. They just, you know, can’t do what mutants could. A simple case of have/have not… and everyone knows it’s much, much better to have than to have not, because the people who have tend to supplant the people who have not eventually… right?
