Dillon Maxey

A mutant from birth, it rapidly became apparent that he was never going to receive the same opportunities as those who classed themselves as normal. In time, he learned to make his own.

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by AugmentationAudit

Description

Image

Tending to appear in many forms depending on how he chooses to disguise himself, though, when he is going without costume, he tends to take on one of two distinct forms.

Image

More human, though still clearly mutant with very dark skin that gives way to an odd harlequin-pattern in red, the marks are located specifically around the eyes and are clearly visible on other parts of his body when he chooses to show them. His eyes are very dark, but his pupils show red in direct light; he wears contact lenses to facilitate this appearance and hides the real colour of his eyes.

Unnaturally slender and frail, he appears stretched and spidery in his less common appearance; he does not take on this look by choice, more by overextension, and although he often looks stronger and far more mutant in this form, and will certainly say that this is the case, it is in fact a sign of him weakening through overuse of his teleportation, rather than some interesting new form. It is simply damage to his body.

His skin becomes red when all of the diamonds join up, secondary diamonds opening like lesions around his eyes and spreading as the condition becomes more severe. His eyes appear to be very red, though this is more because of subconjunctival hemorrhaging than any intimidating power.

Personality

Mischievous to a fault, he seems to almost completely lack empathy for those unlike himself. In the mutant world, he has shown himself to be naughty, though not actively malicious, though the same cannot be said for his activities around humans. Tired of being classed as different, substandard, he has no compassion for anybody that he classes as better off than he is: humans.
Possibly a kleptomaniac, though his desire to rampant theft could be a continuation of his want for balance between his own situation and the human condition; he classes them to be privileged over himself and seeks to even things up by stealing from them.
He is not chronically aggressive around humans, though those who are arrogant or scathing by nature should beware, as should those who choose to tell him what he can and cannot do, no matter the species. He is rarely hostile towards aggressors, but will torment them mercilessly; sometimes causing physical harm.
He is almost certainly a sociopath.

Profile of a sociopath: (edited from: http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html)

  • Glibness and Superficial Charm: He never seems to stutter or be ill at ease, perfectly comfortable when it comes to communication. He does appear to be charming, though he tends to use his charm to get what he wants and feels like he deserves.
  • Manipulative and Conning: They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviours as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. -he likes to ‘convince’ people to do his bidding. He’s certainly not above blackmail if the mood suits him. He has some knowledge of the rights of others, but disregards it as irrelevant.
  • Grandiose Sense of Self: He certainly has a highly overinflated ego when he deems to show it, and classes himself as no less than the most important person in existence. His intelligence and skill knows no bounds, as far as he’s concerned.
  • Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." –he will take whatever he wants, and has no sense of guilt in doing so, as he believes he deserves to receive anything taken and holds anyone who refuses to give him what he knows should be his in contempt.
  • Pathological Lying : Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
  • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt .
  • A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
  • Shallow Emotions: When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
  • Incapacity for Love: In his case, the high-functioning nature of his condition allows him to feign love as he feigns the depth of his emotion.
  • Need for Stimulation : When left to his own devices and allowed to grow bored he tends to seek out new ways to entertain himself; usually at the cost of those around him.
  • Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. –he doesn’t tend to gamble, but when pushed he has been known to be loud and physically aggressive. It takes some effort on the part of the antagoniser to get such a reaction.
  • Callousness/Lack of Empathy: Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
  • Poor Behavioural Controls/Impulsive Nature: Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, and no concern for their impact on others.
  • Early Behaviour Problems/Juvenile Delinquency: Usually has a history of behavioural and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviours such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. –it is unclear if this is the case, as very little is honestly known about his younger life.
  • Irresponsibility/Unreliability: Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
  • Promiscuous Sexual Behaviour/Infidelity: Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. –he has yet to turn any of his attentions onto children, having little interest in them one way or the other at the present. He is, however, sexually promiscuous and doesn’t like to be told know. He has been known to believe that sex is his right if he wants it, regardless of his partner’s desires.
  • Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle: Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
  • Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility: Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily. –his life story is rarely the same twice, and his image changes frequently, though he finds it hard to disguise his the fact that he is carrying the mutated X chromosome.

Equipment

Genetically suited towards teleportation:
This can be triggered manually over a limited distance, and it is possible for him to teleport inside locked buildings if he has at least some idea of the layout inside. It is unclear if he can teleport inside a wall or partially through an object by mistake.
Percussive force to his person or penetrating injury has been known to automatically trigger a teleport, though he never escapes completely unharmed from subconscious space-jump. If he has time to consciously initiate the move it is near-impossible to harm him unless the exact nature of his weakness is discovered.
It is possible to stop him, even when teleporting to avoid detection/attack, but the method of doing so requires trial and error. He knows his own weaknesses, but does not divulge them.

History

Generally difficult to determine, as any facts given by Max himself should be discounted as partial or often total untruth.
He spent some time with therapists and mental health specialists, and draws on their explanations and techniques in his own endeavours from time to time.
He has watched a great deal of medically-based television, documentaries on psychology, etc.
He spends a great deal of time people-watching.
He studied psychology, though his grade and learning method are unknown.
Most of his pastimes and past occupations have been for the sake of furthering his skills in emulation of emotion and normal social behaviour. He prides himself in his ability to appear normal and has extensively studied human emotional and psychosocial dynamics to make himself believable.

So begins...

Dillon Maxey blinked at him slowly as he analysed the man's expression, he spent a great deal of time looking at expressions and their effects on people. "You are a good looking man, a man who looks young and innocent; that needs to be destroyed if you are to get rid of them. As you are you attract them all too easily."

He traced a long finger along his own strange face. "You need to cut away a little of your good looks, prove to them that there's more to you than innocence and attraction."

"I can confirm that they would find you attractive." He didn't really have a clue despite being totally convinced that he knew all of the answers. "And yes, a scar. Cut away your good looks and they will stop being drawn to you. Make it large and obvious to show them that you don't want them, and to show them that you're scarred already and don't need them to hurt you any more than you have already been hurt. It makes sense."

Dillon Maxey nodded again to make his point clear. "Yes, make who you are on the outside match what you are on the inside. That will make you feel better, I promise. You want to hurt yourself and you want to free yourself from them."

Dillon Maxey didn't have a blade to offer him and wouldn't have offered him one even if he had. He simply nodded once again. "Of course, privacy is important in matters like these when there are people watching. You must not let anyone stop you doing this. Only people that want to hurt you would stop you, you know."

He got up with a flourish. "This is for you, remember, so don't let them take it away."

Dillon Maxey whispered a soft "good" before he slipped back into the crowd. He knew the man would follow his advice now to save himself the pain of being adored and Max couldn't help but smile.

Dillon Maxey whipped into existence when he heard Ilse say his name, because it was his and nobody else's. If anyone else had it they were stealing from him.

The idea of his name being stolen had annoyed him. The idea of someone taking what was rightfully his made him want to punish someone but that someone didn't necessarily have to be the person that was bothering him because these things could wait. But someone needed punishing... and the other, nameless man (Izumi) needed a chance to get away to do what he'd been told to do... this was perfect.

In a waft of smoke he appeared at Ireland's side, hands behind his back and leaning forward with a grin. "You know he's just saying all this to fuck you."

Dillon Maxey flashed Kazen the most wicked grin as he slung a consoling arm around Ireland and steered her towards the door. "Oh, you poor thing. That was an absolutely terrible thing for him to say to you! You must be so angry right now! Tell me all about it."

Dillon Maxey had been waiting for such a reaction, more than aware that such things happened when tensions were running high in stupid people. He vanished from view as Kazen made his swing (unfortunately leaving Ireland open to take the hit) and reappeared a few inches to the left; neatly avoiding the strike and making it look as though Kazen had simply missed his mark.

Dillon Maxey pointed at Kazen in furiously dire accusation. "You brute! How could you do that to her?! Get away from her right now!" He had chosen 'faintly homosexual, very worried' for the particular occasion as it seemed most fitting.

Dillon Maxey shot Izumi a very strange look indeed but backed away accordingly. But not because they told him to, oh no, he never did what people told him to do. He backed away at his own desire and faded away into the room again with no evidence of where, exactly, he had gone.

Dillon Maxey appeared behind the bar in a towering temper: after disappearing and fuming over his woes for the better part of an hour he had finally reappeared in the bar but in a far less sociable mood than before. Someone had stolen his name and he wasn't about to forget it, not to mention the man not taking his advice at all! He'd gone to so much effort and it had all been for nothing! How dare someone not do as he wanted them to do!

Dillon Maxey snatched up a bottle from behind the bar -a full one- and looked around for someone who looked as though they needed a drink. He wasn't sure who looked the most deserving person in the room was for all of a minute before he noticed Ilse.

Dillon Maxey grinned massively at Ilse with a bottle still clasped firmly in his hand, when she looked towards him for a refill he took a smart step backwards and threw the bottle at her face with practised grace and a complete lack of remorse. He was angry and throwing things made him feel better, especially if they hit something.

Dillon Maxey vanished from his position at the bar with another bottle in hand, which he threw at Ilse when he reappeared: standing on a table at the other side of the room. Totally incandescent with rage he howled at the pair of them in a manner that suggested he would have been screaming insults if he wasn't too angry to form coherent words.

Dillon Maxey was not fast enough to dodge a bullet and was far too angry to rationalise the fact that Ilse's gun pointed in his direction needed almost immediate attention. He was not coherent enough to watch for her finger squeezing the trigger or the minute movements of her body that would have tipped him off to her being about to fire.

As such the bullet penetrated his chest but only to a limited extent before his subconscious defence instinct kicked in and he vanished from view.

Dillon Maxey appeared in the room in a wisp of dark smoke and sat down on the bar counter, long legs kicked up and onto the surface despite the layer of mud on the bottom of his shoes; he didn't have to clear up the mess so he wasn't concerned about it.

Dillon Maxey tapped an angry foot on the bar counter as he watched the ongoing and increasingly farcical interactions in the room. At first he had found it funny to watch but now he was growing impatient and annoyed; everything he had worked to do had apparently fallen through because of some piece of skirt.

He rubbed his chest (a dressing tacked in place under his shirt) and watched Ilse with angry dark eyes.

Dillon Maxey appeared beside Brett in a waft of dark smoke with one long hand extended. "Where's mine?" He grinned easily as he looked at the packet of cigarettes to suggest that he wanted one and that Brett really should share with him.

Already impatient and not liking to be kept waiting Max stretched out a hand to Kiwi in clear expectation. "Then I'm sure you can post one my way," he drawled, his foot tapping out his impatience on the floor as he waited.
