Alias: Cryogene
Age: 17

Power:
>Cryokinesis: Freddie possesses the ability to freeze objects which allows him to reduce the temperature of matter at will. He is capable of freezing human beings as well as inanimate objects. When using his power, Freddie appears to absorb the heat from an individual instead of emitting cold, though he is able to create small amounts of ice. Also, while he is able to create sub-zero temperatures, much in the same manner as his sister, his body temperature is much higher than that of a normal human and he is hot to the touch.

Personality

General Persona: Freddie can be described as (excuse the pun) a pretty cool guy. He is a very amiable guy, and has a generally pleasant disposition. He is very protective of his sister, and can identify with those who were in a situation similar to his. He sometimes wishes that things were different, that he and his sister could live happily with their parents, but as that time has already past, he tries not to dwell on the thought. He has a hidden temper behind his cool exterior, and tries his best to keep that part of himself locked away.

History

Born on June 21, in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts as the children of a marketing assistant and his high school sweetheart. They have been inseparable since birth, complimenting each other perfectly. They were thought to be very odd as children, as their body temperatures were unusually low and high (Artemis and Freddie, respectively), and they were often outcast as freaks. Besides their strange body temperatures, there was nothing readily strange about them. However that all changed on their 12th birthday.

As they played a game of tag with the few that had accepted the invitation to their party, Artemis suddenly burst into flames. She continued running, however, oblivious to the change that had taken place. She burned everything in her immediate path, scorching the grass beneath her feet, and nearly igniting her house. Freddie, knowing inherently what to do, stepped in his sister's way and absorbed all of the heat radiating off of her. Realizing just a little too late of the damage she had caused, Artemis fled from the scene. Their parents looked on in shock and disgust at Freddie, realizing that both of their children were freaks, and went so far as to disown him completely. Coming to the conclusion that he and his sister would be better off away from the city, Freddie went in search of her.

It was several days before they were together again. They were reunited in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, and stayed there for almost a year, until they were discovered by some contractors hired to demolish the place. Fearing that they would be taken to a place more horrible than they could imagine, they ran. That was the first and last time they stayed in any one place for more than a few months at a time. They survived by stealing what they could get their hands on, sometimes selling what they stole for more than what they knew it was worth. They changed their appearances with each new 'home', adopting a completely different life. When the heard about the Xavier school, they knew it was an opportunity to redeem themselves. Freddie, sensing that his sister would be hesitant to go, suggested that he go and check the place out before she came; make sure that it was safe for his her. He is in his second year at the Academy, and he is a part of the group of students that helps the newer students get on their feet.
