Power

Dragon Mimicry
The power that Bosco has had for as long as he can remember, altering his body in ways resembling that of the mythical dragon. This power that he has grants the option to inhale air, and then exhale fire, or smoke, from his lungs at will. Because of how long the young man has worked on his technique in using his gift, he can force out a single breath for an exceptionally long time, as well as adjust how focused the expelled heat is. Heat in high temperatures, and smoke, do not seem to negatively affect the young man, however they do not have any positive effects on him either. Another defensive mechanism this unnatural ability gives Bosco to activate is the ability transform parts of his skin to remarkably tough scales for a short period of time. However, the skin is the only part of the body to change, everything inside is still weak to all impact damage.

Flowmotion
This is the student's ability to quickly get himself from one place to another, and move in ways that should be impossible. He has exceptional climbing capabilities, and can jump much higher than he physically should be able to, though it is not enough to necessarily be called a super jump. Aside from the fact that he can change his entire trajectory when in the air by using objects that he can swing around and gain more moving force from doing so, probably the most notable thing about this power is that it allows Bosco to kick off of what appears to be nothing in mid air, giving him a double jump. For reasons unknown to him, however, he can only use his feet for this. He also still suffers falling damage as any normal person with his strength would.

Super Strength
Just like the title implies, this power gives the user strength beyond that of what his body should be physically capable of. While he cannot hope to lift something like the school out of the ground, smaller things like uprooting trees would be simple for him in a controlled circumstance. That being said, Bosco's main use of his strength has not ever been lifting, but rather being able to take large sums of pressure. While it is certainly a possibility for the young man to hurt those around himself with this power, he sub-consciously holds himself back from doing so. Because of him having drilled it into his mind not to hurt his partners in acrobatics, the idea of Bosco ever severely damaging an opponent with brute force alone would be unheard of. This strength is held back by that habit, even in simple things like jumping, or hitting any inanimate object, and especially in his mindless aggression. The only time that this power could used freely is when the user is fully aware of how it is being used, and what will be affected when it is.

Prefect

Canon or not
Preferably, yes

Appearance
Bosco appears to be older than he is, as well as straight-faced most of the time.
His body is very athletic from him improving its limits whenever able, and has more than a couple of scars from him tripping up in the situations that his past has set himself in. The student stands at about five feet, and ten inches, tall when he stands up straight. He rarely slouches. His hair has a slightly grown out buzz cut, as well as neatly kept facial hair he grows around his mouth. Behind the glasses that the dragon mimic has never been seen without are attentive green eyes. They rarely show exhaustion, and are always attentive.

When not dressed in his uniform, The student will normally be seen in jeans and T-shirts without any design. Boots are the most common foot item for Bosco to wear, though he does own a few other pairs of shoes as well. It has always been rare to see the young man wearing trinkets, or to have any accessories other than his glasses. If they were not necessary, it would be likely for him to not wear those as well. Preferring not to be seen as disrespectful, the student will dress in at least a blazer for nearly every event that does not require his uniform.

Personality

Overall Personality
The prefect is a hard worker, to say the least.
The young man is always looking for work to do around the school, and will place himself in situations where he will not usually be needed if he thinks he can help. Things that he sees as wrong are what he actively goes against. This often causes him to come off as vexing to those around him, especially because of his other social habits. Bosco dislikes idle conversation, and prefers to talk about things that are relevant to things like personal improvement. Philosophical conversations are what the young man craves to have over anything else, and he often reads into what people say more than he should. He is actually a very analytical person in general. The reason for his deep thinking partially being that he believes he needs to act older.

A lot of the thought processing that has often gone through the young man's mind stems from him having thought he needed to behave more like an adult. Someone that others can look up to, and would want to go to for guidance. Some of that way of thinking came from those around him having assumed he had more years in his life than they thought, even enough to be a teacher, and he now believes that he should set an example for everyone else to be following. Due to having this in his head, Bosco strives to be responsible for those around him, and does what he can to have others act the same way. Though good intentioned, the prefect often comes across as some sort of control freak.

Despite being someone who is good intentioned, and likes to talk through things, the gifted man is easily angered. Though not always, he may release his displeasure through means of physical violence if not careful. It is more than likely that Bosco will regret his actions entirely if he injuries anyone seriously during that process. His main issue has been controlling himself before he reaches to that point, and his want to keep his action without thinking from occurring causes him to think skeptically before taking any action at all. Luckily for himself, Bosco is well-aware of his issues, and tries to correct them.

Under all of these outward feelings, the prefect student has a more-so soft side that is rarely seen anymore. It happens to be something that takes time for him to show. Because of him having been taken away from the closest thing that he had known as a family, The now young man has set up walls to separate himself from others. While he is willing to help someone who needs assistance at any point, Bosco is unlikely to give much insight on his past, or anything he sees as too personal, in fear that his emotions will suffer again if lead back to that same event. He always desires to keep someone's head above water when they are going under despite that dislike for making connections too strong.
Bosco's motive is to help others, and will attempt what he can to do just that.

History
Unexpectedly, the straight-faced student used to be in a circus. It had not been until a couple of months ago that Bosco's life took a drastic change, but we will get into that later. A young orphan boy had an amazing talent for being able to move in ways that should not possible for his body, and that was picked up on when he tried sneaking into a tent that a circus in town held their animals in. Someone wound up finding him there. Long story short, the twelve year old boy nearly got away with his flowmotion capabilities by jumping around what felt like everything there to get out, but tripped up and got caught. When the manager heard of how the event played out, a thought popped into his head. Though Bosco felt convinced that he would be in trouble for this, his world changed when they asked to adopt him into their act. And not only into their act, also into the leader's family. That inviition had obviously been accepted. Then Bosco took on the family name of his new father, Marcus Hoppus. After taking custody of the young boy, the troupe found his other unnatural powers to be stunning.

They were especially impressed with what his dragon mimicry could do. Because of how strong the young boy was, they had him use that to perform until he could control his strength. His main act for his troupe would end up being acrobatics, but the one most everyone loved to see was his fire breath interlaced performances. This special power gave Bosco a number of names when the group performed. The favorite of many nicknames that he had ever gotten because of his fire breath was when they traveled Japan and the teenager called himself "Ryuu no Tsuyo" for a long time. Although no one believed that the flames could have been something done without tricks, there came a time when someone found out about young Hoppus's unnatural gift.
Sadly, not someone who would let Bosco stay with his friends.

Despite the want to stay with the closest thing that he had to a family, the young man had been forced to leave his friends by government officials. It should be apparent that at the top of the list of things the one who had been an orphan did not want to do was leave his family. Even though he came so close to running away from the ones making him leave, Bosco was convinced to go with the strangers after talking to his father about what would be considered best for him. This same conversation lead the young man to start thinking more about life in general, and what he could use his powers for to do good in the world. It sparked the thought that he should become someone that those around him could look to for what should be done. That also happened to be the reason why he applied to be a prefect when he was entered into Ashford. Sadly, joining the prefects also sparked the idea that he should only act in things deemed important by him, and he grew less attached to regular social interaction. The mistakes on his age only amplified this, and he started getting angry with no outlet for it. While he may be a bit complicated, Bosco has conviction for what he believes he should do, and what he needs to do. He knows he that the school has issues, and he seeks to improve it. He knows that he has issues, and he wants to improve himself.
