FANTXTIK CONTEST ENTRY: Marly Neail

Name: Marly Neail

Age: 17

Alias: N/A

Abilities: Parkour, grace under pressure

Superpowers: Teleporting

Affecting of superpowers when stressed: Will warp from place to place when under extreme pressure. This can be extremely dangerous, as it is possible to warp to a place in the air, without solid ground beneath him. Though this is fairly rare, only occurring in times when he is stressed extremely.

Nationality: Canadian

Description: Marly is tall for his age, with dark brown, almost black hair. His style of clothing, is… lacking, to say the least. His entire wardrobe usually consists of hoodies and jeans if varying colours. He has a very slim build, making him look nearly starved. His face might be considered good looking, for some, though for many it’s simply average. His eye’s are ice blue, near white.

Background: Marly’s childhood was a fairly average one. He lives in a lower middle-class family of four, the other members begin his father, his mother, and his younger sister. Being from the lower class, Marly had trouble with bullies all his life. Due to this, Marly was forced to learn parkour, training to be able to leap from building to building, leaving his perusers in the dust.

Once, during a parkour training session, he found himself able to teleport, seemingly randomly. Being curious by nature, Marly experimenting with his newfound power, keeping this from his family the entire time. This all shattered when, during an extremely stressful encounter with his school’s local bullies, he found himself warping to another location. This information found it’s way to his parents, his father was confused, but his mother seemed to understand. She would later reveal to have powers similar to his own. She then worked to train him in using these powers.

 

Fourth wall: So, I've finally gotten my entry up! Literally hours before the deadline (1 hour 36 minutes to be exact.) As you may have noticed, I tried to make this superhero world a more grounded one, inspired by a podcast called The Bright Sessions, which deals with a similar subject matter. Also, fun fact, I actually own much of the clothes on this fig, so I could dress up as him with a few small purchases. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed and good luck to all the other contenders and a big thanks to Fantxtik for organizing this awesome contest.
