Basics
Name: Sosa Louis Fernando
Nicknames: Dez ~ What Mira and close friends call him.
Louis Fernando! ~ Everyone else, if they want.
Age: 16
Birthday: October 21
Grade: 10th
Powers:
~ Second Heart (Peak Human Conditioning): Sosa has gained the best Peak Human Conditioning, for a teenager, thanks to having a 2nd Heart that has increased his metabolism and blood flow across his body making it easier for him to gain and maintain his conditioning. For a Teenager, who played Soccer and Fenced, he can be considered on par with Olympic Athletes in the following vast fields of strength, speed, stamina, senses, agility, reflexes, accuracy, longevity, durability, intelligence, healing time, flexibility and combat skills. Sosa's other powers are actually tied to his Biorhythm, which is unique due to his two hearts which technically puts him at a different recurring cycle of physiology or functioning that is abnormal for a human, such as his daily cycle of sleeping and waking, or the fact that his hearts can create strong distorting Pulses in strong synchronized beats. In General its his cyclic pattern of physical, emotional, or mental activity that his other capabilities are affected by which can allow his body to function more efficiently, but often not of his own will as it stands. As such in terms of when his Biorhythm tends to change for the worst, his pulses cause distortions which can harm himself or to an extent others around him during times of great exertion or stress making him behave unpredictable, as viewed by his history. He must maintain controlled breathing to keep his powers working or else they'd weaken, go out of control, or be disabled if he cannot breathe properly. Eg. Choking, Drowning, Suffocating, Breathing Erratically, Sneezing, Illnesses, or freezing temperatures as his metabolism will slow-down.
He may not look like much but thanks to living in the shadow of his Mafia family and 4 years of Fencing and Soccer; Sosa is strong enough to knock out an individual with a single punch or kick while sending them flying through a wall or door (wood/sheet rock if memory serves), lift twice his weight; up to approx~324 lbs, fast enough to catch-up to some moving vehicles under 30 mph, exert himself to near-peak capacity; his cardiovascular circumstances also therefore, eliminates most build-up fatigue chemicals, producing high-endurance and lung capacity being able to hold his breath from up to 2-5 minutes; factored in that his two hearts take up more room in his body restricting space that reduces his lung capacity by 30% of a average male, agile enough to climb tall structures, leap high into the air and to distant yards away, reflexive enough to quickly dodge incoming attacks; though sometimes lucky on bullets/lasers (...pointers, it was a game) and react better while in fast motion that would often blur an average human's sight without protective eye-ware. Accurate enough to hit small and farther distant targets (mooks so he refers), possibly capable of living longer than the average-person; time will tell, durable enough to withstand normal and maybe even some superhuman physical/projectile attacks, intelligent enough to understand complex problems better than most average humans (though he was already seen as a smart kid so this might not be entirely a power); though he is dyslexic and has better luck with hands on learning and remembering through vocally repeating information. He's also capable of healing in shorter-periods of time than the Average Joe, flexible enough to co-ordinate his limbs perfectly, and is experienced and some-what versed in the "art" of combat, his skills are that advanced enough to hold his own against groups of enemies but most obviously not against groups of other super-humans.
(Special) Unique Biorhythm:
His Second heart is actually around a little over half the size of his main heart, its surprising that it can do so much, but thats why his Biorhythm is so "unique", it can function properly under normal circumstances and exercises. A minor power, but it is the foundation for his other powers, such as Metabolic Control and Pulse Manipulation. Sosa uses these in combination to control/limit his Biorhythm during stressful situations, something he learned on his own, using these powers can cause some strain overtime lowering his biorhythm and cause a number of health problems if use continuously through out the day, despite his endurance. However what's more dangerous is his powerful Adrenaline Rush during fight or flight circumstances which causes his Biorhythm to become ecstatic that could in-fact cause his second heart to give out. Using it effectively can give him a significant boost when he needs it, by having two hearts on an adrenaline rush, it raises his blood pressure increasing his strength, speed, reflexes, and the ability to withstand great pain via increased oxygen and nutrient transferal. His prowess is still within human level, only enhanced to above Olympic athlete levels, of which vary, but well bellow superhuman.
Usually he would avoid a fight, sometimes by running, making the adrenaline rush short-lived but in a fight he's committed to he's on a timer that could last anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes. By emitting pulses of energy he can control his body and powers to limit himself for safety, releasing this adrenaline rush at will or if his biorhythm falls too low then he'll burst into an adrenaline rush, like losing consciousness or being distraught. He can actively turn it off but doing so is exhausting, requiring centering and concentration, and he'll be exhausted in terms of feeling "dog-tired". Recovery is based on how long he spent in it after 3 minutes, as each after minute translates to an hour of recovery and feeling sore all over for the day. Sosa can actually keep the adrenaline rush in 3 bursts of 1 minute increments before exhausting himself. Which is useful. If he does it a 4th time then he'll have a minute before becoming fatally exhausted, which happened often as a kid when he played sports or pushed himself too much. He just falls asleep.
As great as a boon this is it hurts him not just physically but mentally too, as to his biorhythm becoming ecstatic, after reaching puberty its note'd that his adrenaline rushes now started doing more harm as his 2nd heart grew, after 3 minutes (consecutive or 3 bursts) he'll go through the following stages of fatal exhaustion.
- Stage 0: The 1-3 Minutes he has no downsides.
- Stage 1: Passing the 3rd minute he begins to feel a little-light headed, while also some of his blood vessels burst from the increased blood pressure causing blood to mix with his sweat, tears, saliva, and other bodily exertions. Causing trembling, sweating, knotted feeling in the stomach, and blood to pool behind his eye sockets. While also becoming prone to emotional destabilization causing Sosa to feel awe, anxiety, tension, or even panic. (Similar to Sociopathic Tendencies, but capable of showing polite gestures.) He doesn't go insane but he does behave much darker and abnormal, he could potentially preemptively attack somebody merely out of paranoia which he is known to have, though friends will never be a target.
- Stage 2: Passing the 4th minute he looks like he's transformed, the pupils in his eyes glow and move like globules from a lava-lamp in simple terms, his eye sockets look dark. (Definitely back away from him.) During this stage he begins to feel disoriented, confused, and shadowed with more intense feelings of awe causing him to behave unpredictably coupled with hallucinations. He maintains his grip on reality the best he can but loses certain conscious abilities like being unable to speak or feel emotion. His vision begins to swirl and colors darken in fluctuations within his perceivable depth perception.
- Stage 3: Finally at the 5th minute he feels the impulsive need to sleep, losing absolutely all focus and control of his powers as they'll simply go dormant. Sosa may have enough energy to sluggishly move or he'll just faint, after which he enters hibernation to heal. During which he'll appear dead and recover in a low powered state where he was lucky they examined his brain activity when this happened the 1st time. Its speculated that if damage is extensive he may be in hibernation for a longer period, although there is a chance that he may never wake up or survive if his wounds go untreated.
~Note: Injecting him with adrenaline is a big mistake, especially if he's asleep, doctors did that once and he injured and killed 5 out of 16 men, half the time he was stated as unconscious. The 5 men were specifically Mafiosi. The rest were hospital security. The buff kind. Its speculated that his adrenaline rush causes his body to act on instinct, though not entirely as he's aware of his actions for the most part for those who are technical about it.
~ Metabolic Manipulation (Biorhythm Focus~): Possesses the ability to control his body functions, including, but not limited to stopping one's own pulse to play dead and control certain bodily functions with conscious and sub-conscious thoughts. Also not much importance but passively his body temperature is around 113 degrees Fahrenheit, he's warm and cuddly by nature so you're in luck. So far he can control the following:
- Biorhythm Sense: Sosa can focus on the Biorhythm of others by sending out pulses from up to 30 feet and within his field of vision but while holding his breath. He can detect people through walls but the range is lessened based on the material and can only detect them when they move. Effectively he can detect life by their physical, mental, and emotional conditions as each gives a different readable pulse. However he isn't trained in determining which pulse is which or what frequency/color means what. (Its a blend of colors) He can detect inanimate objects which do in-fact make a pulse when they make a noise as there is a physical pulse. People who have grown close to him and are looking for him can be detected passively when they come within 30 feet of where he's facing, they still have to move though. So if you are his close friend then he can find ya if you look around for him.
- Self-Sustenance: During normal circumstances he can sustain himself on "normal" portions of food as his body absorbs nutrients more efficiently, as normally his high metabolism would cause him to need more to sustain himself, though this doesn't stop him from pigging out, as he can also store that energy if he chooses to in his veins, though all that energy is burned by the time he wakes up, even if its a nap in the middle of the day. He's also less dependent on going to the restroom as his body burns up most of the food and drinks he consumes or all of it while in sleep. He always wakes up full of energy on a normal day.
- Hibernation: It seems his body has gained new sub-conscious functions no doubt adapting to his powers, only becoming active when his hearts begin to fail. Its like a fail-safe so he could recover while being in a week to month long coma-like state, appearing dead for both safety reasons and to heal. While in this state his body heals faster while sustaining itself on any reservoirs of energy. Hospital stays improve his healing time while in deep sleep.
~ Pulse Manipulation (Pulse-Wave Fields~): Can create, shape and, manipulate "pulse", through his "body", but mostly his "eyes". Pulse is a disturbance or one of a series of such transient disturbances that moves through a medium (gas, liquid, solid or energy) from one point to the next point. Exact results depend from the medium, strength/frequency of the pulse, whether the medium is fixed in space or free to move at its end and if the pulse moves from one medium to other. This power is Sosa's trademark ability for being very visually striking as his pulses can be seen as pixelated neon blue and magenta constructs of sorts, and it can be seen in his eyes up close. Warning: Staring into his eyes up-close for too long can disorient people who lock eyes with him, similar to staring at the sun, don't take him on in a staring contest. He can focus with his eyes to emit pulses that are like a magnetic/force field that make up various constructs for defensive, offensive, and utility purposes. He can empower sikes unarmed and even certain weapons based on materials that offer less resistance to his pulses, though depending on the material it'll break after a couple of strikes.
The rule of thumb is that he must have line of sight, see clearly, and have a controlled breath. (fast jogging is okay as he's got a rhythm) All his fields are no larger than himself, though they are weak with the density of soft sand, semi-transparent, needless to say that people and objects can pass through them, but experience a repelling force that can distort electronics and sometimes cause people to be pushed back and disoriented. Because he isn't immune or tolerant of his own pulses they can be reflected back at him from mirrors, reflected surfaces, even semi-reflective surfaces. Down to the air we breathe can reflect at least 10% of the pulses back at him.
When making use of this ability, Sosa must make hand and eye motions of forming the pulses into the shape he desires and visually construct it, like molding a ball in his hands or forming a oblong shaped baton or shield by waving his arms or legs, his mind and imagination seem to be the limits to this power. Though being dyslexic gives him trouble imagining the pulse's shape without his eyes, though it is possible with practice. Every time he uses this power, he feels nauseated and eventually disoriented after a short time due to being inexperienced in properly bracing his body to releasing said pulses, basically he emits the pulses and some reflect off the air and surfaces back to his exposed face or body. Sosa uses a custom-made mask that prevents this as it acts similarly to a shock absorbent elastic material to harmlessly cushion reflected pulses to his face, he also has similar objects on his person to shield his body at least. Pulses can be reflected with mirrors and semi-reflective surfaces, he's learned this the hard way as he once severely shattered his left hand. Anyways, the pulses only last so long as they remain in line of sight but can be seen through walls and distances of over 7 meters, by only him or aura users who see them clearer than him, though the range will be reduced depending on the material he's looking through (though not aura users), also if he can not see the pulse or is too far away the pulse will fade within 3 seconds after leaving visual contact. In basic, he can make a horn (Blunt but still hurts.) on his mask and charge at people, make a beating stick, or launch finger sized bullets. But if he closes his eyes or looks away from them for more than 3 seconds they dissipate, and they wont form his he blinks while forming the pulses.
Look at what he can do so far:
- Psychic Shielding: His brain waves are different from normal humans giving him the ability to actively mask/disguise his brainwaves against psychics using pulses. Though once they see him, he's fair game. Sosa can resist still by not thinking of the person, its odd because he calls out words to distract himself like dogs, Homer Simpson, or makes random noises. Even more so is because he speaks it often in Italian and will confuse himself, mentally, in doing so for tying to shield himself for too long. But most likely 1st time opponents or certain frequent opponents will be confused from his act before then, which is the point.
- Force-Field Generation: Can soften medium-velocity blows and projectiles with his constructs as a shield or wall. The field only covers an area on his body he can see, like his arms and legs or mask, usually following wherever he's defending against, if he see's the attack. To an extent, it can be used on others within line of sight or form a wall, though they have to be within arms reach. He can shape these into other simple objects to distract or bind enemies or objects. But cannot move them once they've been set unless they are in physical contact with him. In combat he may strike and leave a pulse image of himself behind to act as a obstruction or a distraction. The pulse Image, unlike other constructs, fades regardless after a second.
- Pulse Emission: Shot from his eyes, easily his most powerful and draining ability so he can only use it once every so often as he'll start feeling disoriented and hallucinate. Sosa's mask may crack from the sheer force of this ability when going all out, using it without the mask is devastating to himself. As he readies this power, he rears his head back with his eyes glowing brightly neon blue and magenta through the mask followed by lunging his head forward, he sends a intense pulse of waves, spirals, and rings of energy that spread out in a 15~foot cone which damage, push, disorient, and even paralyze people briefly. The pulse of energy can be sent through any form of matter creating ruptures that can shatter glass, if he wants it can either be harmful or harmless. Depending on the weight of things caught in the blast, they may be launched. People too, though part of that is thanks to the brief paralysis that makes them practically a rag doll.
Targets may begin to hallucinate and feel nauseated as if car/air sick if they were hit by this power, as can be said for electronics will fry or be distorted. Like wise if they pass through any of his constructs enough times, though most of the time Sosa will be in similar position after using this power excessively, their vision will become distorted, dim, and images will swirl chaotically. Other senses may be affected depending on exposure.
Limitations: Sosa must be able to breathe properly, have his sight, and has his hands, arms, or legs free to use his powers, except the Biorhythm Focus. Anything that slows his metabolism weakens his powers, all of them. Using his powers can cause strain on his hearts and his pulses can be reflected back at him with mirrors or partially with reflective surfaces. Using his pulse powers also harms himself but to a lesser extent than it does to others. Whenever his biorhythm becomes to unstable, he risks losing his grip with reality, whether its from his powers or normal bad circumstances due to paranoia and his powers causing certain long term afflictions. In a brief sense, his unstable and unusual behavior can lead him down a path of insanity, due to how paranoid he is of others. Every time he over exerts himself he changes more and more. For better or worse depends on the results and any support he may have. During an adrenaline rush he isn't immune to damage, in fact he can still hurt himself by punching a brick wall down or moving his joints too much.
Member Group: Prefect, though personally feels detached at the moment.
Canon or not: Nope
Appearance:
Sosa is that strange looking slim guy with hazelnut brown wavy hair, with a rat-tail, amber eyes, and a light olive skin tone. Yeah, thats him with that bright white mask with the plain expression. His welcoming face is one of his most striking features, always looking kind and welcoming, his eyes tend to glow neon blue and magenta with his pupils sometimes slightly shifting in shape. When he's not wearing a mask of course, its for safely using his powers really, his powers can harm others if they start into his eyes long enough as mentioned. He's an Italian young man with a talented voice, with a personal rumor that he could supposedly make 1000+ sounds with his mouth and body. (OMG, guy from Police Academy) Standing at 5'7" and weighing 162 lbs, he certainly looks like the lean athletic type up close. He only looks slim due to his upright refined posture and his snug but loose school uniform, always kept clean, tidy, and neat with the crest of Ashford in plain view.
The mask in question is a bright white mask with a plain expression that hides most of his face, exposing just his mouth and below. Its an invention that stemmed from paranoia and a favor towards mystery, although its nice to not let his opponents see his face expression... or see he's shedding a tear as he often does. Sosa crafted it with an inlay-ed pair of lens-less glasses and a strap to keep it secure, leveled, and as a bonus misgiving the idea that he wears glasses without the mask. Its made with the real intention of allowing him use his powers without hurting himself or others. Using rubber strands and a intricate weaving of simple fibers, enough that they act like strings from a guitar or similar, they reduce impact or feedback of him using his Pulse abilities from his eyes.
When out of uniform, he prefers a laid-back look, usually wears bold sets of hot or cold colors. Like bright red jacket with a jet black T-shirt with Cargo Pants or Jeans thrown into the mix, its just a coincidence that its thats similar to the Ashford uniform. In class he is friendly, helpful, and kinda chatty. Especially if its to pass time. Although he has odd study habits and difficulty on comprehending instructions, he may repeat what people say to himself so that he could remember information, which is the odd habit. For special occasions he'll maybe wear that nice navy blue leisure suit with a black or yellow dress-shirt, the ones his Father sent him for style. OR if lazy he just wears a hoodie and some jeans. Being a Prefect, he just doesn't want to be treated as something negative, so he tries to look welcoming, taking off his mask when whenever necessary.
Personality
Overall Personality:Likes:
Sosa comes off as a very passive but optimistic fellow who wanders alot. Although he usually minds his own business unless called on, he'll lend a hand where he notices aid is needed. Always great to make a good 1st impression with a friendly face, both cheerful and energetic around the right company. But kinda a crybaby he even admits, but he seriously can't help being emotional with two hearts he says. They fit him well for being kind while also having a deep smooth voice, he's quite the ventriloquist and voice impressionist, which is his "normal" hobby aside from fencing and soccer. But don't let his sweetheart demeanor fool you though, he's also a known snarky bastard, in playful terms, when he has the time or right moment. It comes with the territory of being raised in the shadow of the mafiosi with fencing on his resume, as is his paranoia when it comes to strange people and places. His father was sure to drill the fundamentals of self-defense and survival into him, he's got the inner workings to fight "creatively" with his hands to inflict pain at the right spots and learned the style of a old fashioned swashbuckler during their sailing trips, using agility and wits to strike down where needed and to win fencing classes like a boss. Some tend to think that with his common innocent demeanor that his fighting prowess is... abnormal, a savage yet graceful style, he's all about giving his time to others and protect them if need be.
To friends he's like a goofy brother who daydreams and wanders off, with his most passionate moments revealing an enchanting and breezy side to him as he speaks with is attractive voice. Its because he likes to spend most of his free time fishing for ideas with friends or isolating himself to studies to search for a way to impress and make others smile, he does in fact devote himself time to think about how to entertain others, no doubt he tries to be a great host when he can be. Friends wont argue that he may be mysterious and hard to get at sometimes, but for sure he's a real go-getter, he always finds time time and energy to hone his skills and train himself with his powers often wandering off somewhere with a strong breeze to practice more strenuous exercises or experiment with his powers, though he prefers privacy and can't train while others are around or watching. Kinda explains why he's kinda absent minded during his training sessions in class, instructors like him but have trouble relaying instructions.
But its cool, teachers in this school seem to understand his issues, and he does OK for being dyslexic, yeah he has trouble processing some information and imagining some things. He usually gets by with sheer will and determination to finish his school work, often whispering to himself what he reads in an effort to better retain information while linking to a form of visual aid. But he cant study in loud rooms or noisy environments, so he prefers wandering off to someplace quiet to study, where he can talk out loud without disturbing others. This is how he learned as a kid, with hopes of keeping up with the rest of class. Still though he has an issue with homework and paying attention in class from day dreaming at the board or desk. He gets very embarrassed when people confront him about it or his other struggles, especially if they think its because he's stupid or if people doubt his efforts. Like seriously, Sosa isn't the kinda guy to utter a single curse word at anyone, but there are moments where he just gets so frustrated with people's skewed views of him that he'd burst out. Some would laugh to hear him use a curse word, because its so rare and abnormal. And apparently Sosa notices people find that funny, which is embarrassing in its own right for kinda making him feel under the expectations of others. Not like it has been like this his whole life but it isn't history that he's worried about now.
The future is what's eating him at the moment. Rumors of becoming a weapon and being sold off? No, Sosa has a plan that he keeps to himself behind his own motives. He's got better things in mind, he joined the prefects to give himself an edge, so that he could maybe either earn or have the ability to fight his way home. For such a soft looking guy you wouldn't expect that he plans to fight the 'Ndrangheta mafia, taking the fight to them, he has a plan, he plans to fight them to get back his family in prison too. Sosa is aware that secrets need to be kept and that you learn not to ask questions in situations that call for it. Family, Loyalty, and Morals are things his father taught him to stand for. Sosa will always support friend or... foe even, if he feels obligated. But he also has a code to uphold to do what is absolutely necessary to survive. His family's lives actually depends it, even if they told him not to worry. As a prefect his devotion is to the people as a family, not just prefects. Its not out of kindness, its out of respect for the wants and desires of others, even it was to lead him to face off against someone he'd have to hurt or kill. Even his cousin Mira, his closest ally who embraced the mafia. He's had bad dreams of her coming to kill him or his family while he's away. He's not sure what she's capable of anymore. God, he hopes this is just meaningless paranoia.

- Detective like skills and smarts, with a playfully snarky attitude.
- Strong Heart, there is no such thing as pure of heart only those that strive towards adapting and never losing the ability to know your true feelings.
Weaknesses:
- Paranoid, suspicious of the motives of others and well ya kinda have to be when raised in the shadow of the mafiosi.
- Crybaby, sheds tender tears regularly, gets overwhelmed by emotions of joy and sadness easily.
- Can get too attached to people he likes, to the point of annoyance even.
- Easily Embarrassed, in general he gets overwhelmed when people point out a mistake or oversight he's made. Although he is shameless around women, he gets very shy and uncomfortable instantly if they yell at him, intimidate him, or wear immodest clothing.
- Buries personal problems, issues, and hides injuries. Sometimes serious ones. Even when sweating blood he'll just say that its normal. And.... walk it off.
- Dyslexic, cannot efficiently read, process information, or comprehend written information well. Saying the information out-loud helps him remember. Has to work TWICE as hard than others in class and homework.

Goals:
- Become a prefect and find a way to stop the bloodshed at Ashford.
- Get back home to save his family.
- Prove to himself he could last on his own and keep up in class or in a fight.
- Mastering his powers, to make a positive impact on the world.
- Making up with Mira, his cousin, for the damage he feels he's done to her.
History
Family Members/guardians:Sosa Louis Fernando was born in Reggio in Southern Italy which is the capital of the Province of Calabria, and the home stomping ground of the 'Ndrangheta mafia, the most powerful crime organization in the world. The day Sosa was born two things happened. Sosa was born with Two Hearts with the second one being small and weak, they thought it was a growth and planned on removing it but instead decided on regular check-ups as it was no harm to his health. While on the same day somewhere else, his father was told "Its a boy!" from a neighboring cell mate who'd come back after making his call, his cell block cheered for him. So begins the life of a boy born into a mafiosi family allied to the 'Ndrangheta Mafia. While his father Aldo was in prison, Sosa was under the care of his mother Lucia and uncle Marco, who had a daughter named Mira. His cousin, she was 1 year older than him and the two always had each other as company while growing up. Sosa got to see his father through visiting hours, and they'd always talk and laugh through the glass. Lucia and Marco would be sure to teach Sosa and Mira the many lessons to be learned while living in a mafia family, without learning about their family's' true nature.
- Father: Aldo Fernando, A loving father and dreaded mafiosi who plays off by being a just "fisher-man", a total man-child but a good man. Sosa was born while he was in prison, he doesn't want this life for him. He's the kind of man that could go murder and torture a man and come back within 5 min to watch cartoons with his son.
(Alive and in Death-row.)- Mother: Lucia Fernando, A supportive, loving, but worrisome mother who is rarely home as she goes to work making errands for their "business" that is actually non-existing for laundering money. She's tougher and more beautiful than most women, very high-class. She has a very harsh tone of voice that sounds like she's yelling at Sosa which makes him flinch and sometimes panic. Though she only means well.
(Alive and in Prison)- Uncle: Marco Germi, Corrupt Police-man, brother of Lucia, and a frequent Drunk and hard smoker. Raised Sosa and his own daughter Mira till Aldo got released from jail. Afterwards he lost a friend and started drinking. He likes to play random and unusual games with Sosa, often those that have ridiculous rules. Aldo plays too.
(Alive? Something happened.)- Grandpa: Pietro Fernando, An old but still hard-working Reverend, father of Aldo. Reliable for advice and protective of Sosa and Mira, explained Sosa the rules of the Mafiosi and finds it unfair that he has to pay for the sins of his father. He has such a sophisticated aura about him. Sosa wonders if he knows about his powers. (Deceased)
- Best friend/Cousin: Miranda "Mira" Germi, A silly tomboy-ish girl who was his closest childhood friend and also had powers, but her's were based on ink. Sosa was dependent of her all the way though Elementary school and some of high-school. She fights and normal situations she aims to exploit any opportunity to its maximum and get away with it, in video games too. During Sosa's coma she embraced the mafiosi, its rumored that she's become very very dangerous. Sosa saw her one last time, he didn't know what to make of the way she looked at him.
(Alive)- Friends: In general, other kids from school and mafiosi kids. Thought I'd give them a mention since in reality they were like family to Sosa. None of them know about his powers. [Unknown]
- Girlfriend: Roma, his on and off girlfriend during the 8th and 9th grade. She's a very disgruntled individual, okay a piece of ****. She taught Sosa how to not show love for someone. Honestly there were others but she takes the cake on being a manipulative B****. Though they did have some nice moments.
- Ally?: Angio, A soft-hearted cop who was undercover to find a loose end in the 'Ndrangheta mafia. Sosa and him were allies in taking down a mafiosi who discovered his powers, he came in the nick of time and saved Sosa while also delivering the kill shot. Though he had to take Sosa and his Family in for their involvement. [Unknown]
History: [WIP]
Around the age of 8 Sosa was found to be dyslexic, hindering his ability to learn and pay attention in class. Usually he winded up getting distracted and making strange sounds and waving his hands like airplanes or people fighting. He received help from Mira often, she found that saying the words and equations out loud helped him understand better, she was always praised for being smart. But he still had difficulties, especially when it came to verbal instructions, though he was good at playing the brass. He was also relatively weak and timid at this time, so Mira always had to come to his rescue often, be it a bug or a kid teasing him too much. Mira constantly got annoyed by how much of a crybaby he was. People and Teachers were always talking about these two sweat-hearts, she enjoyed the attention more than he did though. Sosa was actually only concerned by the fact people think he doesn't try hard enough and that she was always a grade level ahead of him.
Turning 10, Sosa finally got to see his father out of prison, it was practically the best day in his life, like a hole in his chest that was all but empty until now. Aldo took him to outings with other "family" members, every Summer they went sailing with most of the family around the Aeolian Islands, there were a couple of islands there but he couldn't recall or tell them apart, aside from the volcanic one, which was well... like a volcano. He made alot of cool friends with the other family kids, they'd all help sail the boat and spent the days and nights traveling from island to island, until they fell asleep or had to go to the hotel early. Meanwhile the regular check-ups revealed extraordinary results, his second heart has grown considerably. His parents were worried at first but saw the positive effects the following month after his 11th birthday. He became a energetic and strong boy, with a big appetite. His uncle liked to tease him in ways of playfully pawing his face and taunting him to punch back. His uncle was ironically calling out uncle and laughing about how he's stronger than he looks.
Sometime later he was now 12 years old, he traded in the brass instruments for a electric guitar, and his parents got him into soccer and fencing. His father put him into soccer and even had him join a fencing club to burn off the extra energy. His parents were sure to make it all fit with his schedule, soccer was seasonal but fencing was anytime when they had open hours at the club. He switched between the two whenever convenient and this way he didn't get bored, a parenting tip from Marco surprisingly as he does the same with Mira, but different activities. At 1st it was troubling and embarrassing because he was still a crybaby, though he really couldn't take criticism well.Neither did he like the crowds or people shouting his name during practice or during the game, which made fencing his favorite because it was much quieter. He did good at game times winning and losing some. But then came the following year when his change through puberty was alot more obvious than others. At the age of 13, his voice changed, it got smooth and kinda deep. He was definitely overall better when it came to practice and game times as the results were like watching a professional athlete. Soccer? More than half of his shots were Goals, Slide Tackles brilliant, Headbutts very powerful. As for fencing, he won most of his fights in seconds, though he was called on for using too much force, even though he didn't mean to.
Now summer came around, sailing again with family, and he discovered how to alter his heart rate by trying to match a song's beat. He also stopped it during a long pause in the music, Mira freaked. There were obvious questions a young man like him would ask, but what about how he's able to move waves in water and can feel the air on the beach circling him when to everyone else it blows their hair back and their hats off. Mira caught Sosa messing around on the nature trail moving air around like a composer would wave his stick. She scared him by revealing her powers, her powers of Ink manipulation, considering her blood is also Ink, this is both weird and disgusting to Sosa. She changed her color and chased him spitting ink, almost gave the boy a heart attack. Wait... Anyways, they talked for hours about their powers, their fun moments, and even what to do with them in the future. Its difficult to say being a part of the Mafia, surprisingly Mira explains that she wants to work with her dad. Join the dirty buisness, could be fun. Sosa was... pretty much oblivious. She explained.
The following years got kinda quiet, aside from usual mafiosi work and some dead guys stuffed in a trunk here and there. No way Sosa would know, but his grandfather Pietro flew in from America to see his grandchild for the 1st time, so that was exciting. He was impressed on how strong and kind Sosa was. Sosa himself liked how strong he was for an old man, he also had this nice posture and way he moved that was exactly what you would think of a member of clergy. It had style. Sosa was often told to leave the room so they could talk. Out of curiosity he sometimes eavesdropped on his parents and grandfather, the information he heard was... troubling, terrifying even. Pietro settled these fears by explaining to him the rule's they've had him follow his whole life. These rules are to keep the family and him safe, he shouldn't have to worry about such things. But Sosa made it clear that he was worried about their safety, innocently assuming those people they hurt were bad somehow. Their conversation ended at a cliff, Sosa wasn't satisfied and began to be troubled.
Sosa was 15 years old now, he's got a girlfriend named Roma who he's finally broke up with for good. The year was moving slowly, soon after she became the girlfriend of none other than Verrell DeMeos, the cool kid only because his father was a mafiosi. He made Sosa's life at school a living hell, even with Sosa's powers, he couldnt lift a finger to him. It was honestly pointless and ridiculous. That didnt stop Verrel from roughing up Sosa, he can't do much against a group of school cronies. Merami couldn't protect him anymore, these kids were other mafiosi kids too, she can't risk getting her uncle in trouble by exposing herself and him. Even his grandfather Pietro advised that he'd be careful as well and not get teachers or police involved, it was like a golden rule for mafiosi families. Usually they'd kill any criminal that crosses them but this is kids from the same mafia, its small ****, but its serious of what they're doing parading around like that. Nothing could be done either way. Not that teachers would help either, both staff and students were quiet when it came to these kids, they literally beat down a kid till he stopped moving in the hallway. Sosa only heard about it but if he was there he'd have surely lost it and kick the tar out of this jackass. It got really ridiculous when they only focused on trying to make him cry, Sosa didnt but it was getting miserable the lengths they'd reach to bother him. Something needed to be done, but it'd have to wait. The family took another sailing trip during the summer to the Aeolian Islands. Sosa and Merami both hung around, practicing their powers bike-riding the nature trails to the newly formed towns on some of the islands. Sosa was even trusted to take a Sail boat on his own so long as he didnt get caught. How nice it is to be at open water.
The year it all went south. 10th grade, Sosa was 16 years old now. When he came back to school things were horridly different. News popped up everywhere of a stream-line of mafia assasinations occured. All thos kids inclding Verrel's father were among the dead. Many of the kids didnt show up, some were actually reported dead. Sosa was utterly terrified of the thought. As was Mira, who mentions her father's work in some of this. Sosa wondered if it was cover-up work or actual killing. He wondered the same thing about his dad's possible involvement. Loose ends needed to be tied, he heard somewhere. merica
