Death Sense|This is Kai's secondary ability and the one he has no control over. Death Sense is the only time he's ever able to experience future events but they always come sporadically and are triggered by various means. They're also almost next to impossible to decipher.
Extra Sensory Perception|His senses are heightened in a way to trigger his abilities. Touching a certain object could reveal a person's past. hearing a gun shot could make him predict a death.
Precognition|This only ever works with his death sense as far as seeing into the future goes.
History Reading|Kai can see snaps, or the entire history of someone's past.
Death Sense/Retrocognitive Dreaming|Kai sometimes unpredictably sees the past or a future death while he's asleep.
Death Sense/Retrocognitive Artistry|Kai has more control over this as far as using his Death Sense goes. It works best for Retrocognition.

Talents
Hand to Hand|Years of training with his brother have made him well versed in most areas of hand to hand combat. His brother forced him to learn various styles and basically wailed on him until he could finally beat him in a sparring match.
Free Running|A skill Kai learned as a kid while running around on the streets having a good time. Now he's practically like Assassin's Creed.
Lie detection|Being able to look in the past makes it easier for Kai to tell when someones lying based on previous actions.
History|He basically has an all access past to more history than any history book. It's also super useful for training since he can look back on how others did it and learn from them in a way.
Fire Arms|Kai hates using them but he is a talented marksmen. He keeps a handgun on him for emergency purposes only.
Charming|Kai can talk his way out of anything and probably talk almost anyone into doing anything. Words just flow from him like he's some sort of god even though he's an arrogant, vain asshole.
Weaknesses
Death Sense|He has no control over it.
Visions|Using his powers makes him go blind and unaware for that moment if he's using his sight. His eyes appear nearly all white and cloudy leaving him completely vulnerable.
Arrogant|Kai is considered an arrogant fool considering how much he adores himself.
Impulsive|Probably his greatest flaw. He dives head first into things completely ruining any intelligence he's been credited for. It's like dealing with a child who has ADHD.
His Brother|His brother means the world to him and could easily be used to create his down fall.
Guilt|Kai still blames himself for his brother's capture.
Fears
Losing His Brother|Kai already lost him when they captured him. He will not lose him again to death.
Tight Spaces|Bad memories from his father locking him up in closets and cupboards.
Surprisingly enough though, Kai is extremely charismatic. Sure his actions make people roll their eyes but they also can't get enough of him. He's just such a character and words flow off his tongue in such a charming manner it's hard to really stay mad at the guy. It also helps the fact that he simply doesn't care what people think of him. He's overly confident in himself and thinks he's a total catch for forget what anyone else thinks. Only Kai's opinion matters to him. It's actually something people grow to admire about him oddly enough.
Despite his reckless tendencies, Kai is actually a very intelligent young man that buries it beneath frivolous partners and alcohol. He could hatch up a great plan if he would simply calm down and apply that big brain of his to something that wasn't selfish. He has the makes of a great hero but instead he wavers between a hero and villain with his actions and disregard for any rules or authority. He only even does what he' told in this motley crew of mutants because it means getting his brother back. He's finally applying himself to something that isn't entirely selfish.
Kai is a great friend to have as he is the most loyal and protective friend anyone could ask for. he acts as if he's only ever out for himself when in truth, he actually does care about a few people. But he's never one to go to about advice as he never sugar coats anything. He is always straight forward and blunt even if it means insulting someone.
Anabeth McGregor|Mother|Deceased
Niklas Pierce/Prometheus|Half Brother|Unknown
Kaden Pierce|Brother|Unknown
One day, Kai had run into a little trouble with the law and making his escape via building rooftops. Niklas was also chasing him and caught up with the reckless teenager. Yes, he did get him away from the cops but he'd much rather be in the hands of the officers than deal with Niklas's disappointment in his behavior. Niklas found him on a rooftop and began lecturing him when something happened... The building exploded. They didn't know what was in there or why it exploded. They couldn't even say how it was possible they didn't die but after that day, everything changed for them.
Now it was no secret that their father was an abusive drunk anytime he was around. Especially towards Kai. His two older brothers did their best to help but it was never enough. Especially when his father would lock him in a closet or cupboard for hours on end. There was one night that was absolutely horrible that Niklas came home to find Kai cowering in a corner with glass being thrown at him. Niklas ran and decked him in the face before pushing him out the door and attending to Kai. Kai questioned what would happened wen he came back but Niklas told him he was going to die soon. Soon enough, it came true. Kai didn't find out by hearing word of it. No, he found out when he picked up one of the broken beer bottles and had a vision of their father crashing the car and dying. That explosion had awakened their mutant abilities. Kai's other brother, Kaden, was there to bare witness to everything and took off as soon as he discovered his brothers were mutants and they haven't seen him since.
After that day Niklas convinced Kai that the two should become heroes and stick up for people like them. Kai wasn't a fan of the idea as he didn't see himself as a hero but he eventually agreed and followed along his brother to begin their training. They spent years as the dynamic duo of Prometheus and Epimetheus thanks to their abilities. Unfortunately that quickly faded away with a the birth of a new group looking to get rid of the mutants. Prometheus and Epimetheus were part of the meeting that went wrong and Kai's own reckless behavior by charging at them nearly got him captured if his brother didn't get him out of their and got captured in his place. Now Kai is willing to do anything to get him back.
Still has a Irish accent
