Of course I wear shades in the dark, doesn't everyone?
Peppers is 18, no one knows what his real name is, or more accurately, have forgotten it. Ever since a girl at school his sophomore year forgot his name and yelled out the print of his shirt, which happened to be chili peppers, no one has called him anything but. He is always calm, and quiet, in control of his thought and emotions at all times. no matter how bad things get, they are never "That bad" it is always a "good day" even if he comes close to dying. people often accuse him as being angry, but he rarely is. They misinterpret contentment with anger. He is also quite often overly proper, and never cusses.
Broken staff, Tonfa, Sai, throwing knives, light chain whip, ball bearings, wrist rocket, Katars, Assasin's sword, battle axes.
Ever since he lost his sight, when he was 7, he practiced reaching out with his other senses, until he could "see" almost as well as anybody else. Although he can not "see" as far as most people, -his limit is about 300 meters-, He can sense things all at once, so he is always aware of all of his surroundings at all times. He first found the potential in this, when he was 11,when a group of boys tried to beat him up after he stopped them from tormenting a girl. There were six of them, and they came at him from all directions, but he knew where each one was, and what each one was doing, and was able to block or dodge every hit they threw at him. but he was not experienced in fighting, so he had no knowledge of how to strike back, and soon was wore out and could not keep moving, so the boys triumphed. but they never talked to that girl, or any of his friends again. Afterward, he decided to invest in expanding on his gift of sensing, and found an authentic kung-fu teacher, who when saw his talent, immediately started to teach him all he knew. This went on for seven years until he had all but mastered several arts including, drunken boxing, the five ancestors, taijutsu, and his favorite, the five elements. it was in the beginning of their senior year, when Peppers noticed that his friend Xine, started to heal much to quickly to be normal, so then secretly experimented with him in their daily sparring matches. Each time hurting him more and more, holding back less and less. until he knew for sure that his friend had to be a mutant. after discovering this, he found that he could identify other mutants by their smell. Those that shared the same scent patterns as his friend, he found with a little scientific stalking, were mutants. this is the only secret that he has ever kept from his friend.
