Mutants
~Name: Nudge.
~Age: He personally doesn't know, but he is actually around 17 years old.
~Gender: Male
~Mutation: Psychic powers, i.e. Telepathy, etc. Has recently discovered that he can use telekinesis, and though he doesn't know this, can exercise total mind control over non-mutants. Has only done this once, completely by accident, and killed the guard in the process.
~Weaknesses: All his strength is in his powers, making his body very weak. And the weaker his body is (i.e. if he's injured or tired), the more it limits his powers. The guards and scientists, knowing this, deliberately kept him weak, by only feeding him enough to keep him alive and no more, and by continuously beating him to keep him weak and docile. His powers are also affected by his level of focus, so if he can't do that then his powers would fail. Obviously fear comes into this as well. Using his powers over a long period of time, or to move a large object (via telekinesis), puts enormous strain on him and he will likely get tired very easily. Due to a failed experiment performed when he was younger, he is also unable to speak, though there was only minimal damage to his other mental functions, including his intelligence.
~Description: Even though he is roughly 17, his body looks like that of perhaps a 13/14 year old, in the way that he is very small for his age (only about 5ft) as well as being very thin, due to extreme malnutrition. His pale, narrow face is dominated by a pair of wide dark blue eyes, but more often than not, these are hidden by the thick black hair that hangs in matted clumps around his face. the insides of his arms are heavily scarred, due to the sheer number of needles that he has had put into him over the years, as well as the rest of his body being just as scarred from the beatings. he always seems to look tired, and this is due to the fact that his powers are largely uncontrollable, especially the telepathy, and as such, hearing the thoughts of those around him on a constant basis often prevents him from sleeping.

His only method of communication is through telepathy, but his 'speech' is very broken and often confusing to those who actually know proper grammer or anything resembling it. This is just Nudge's way of expressing himself, albeit in a very limited way. His vocabulary is also very limited and, like a child, he will make up words and names for things he doesn't know out of the few words he does. This extends to his fellow mutants, and he gives these odd little nicknames based on defining features of the others', usually to do with their powers. Also like a child, he gets frustrated when others don't understand what he's trying to tell them, and this inability to communicate (as he can't read or write either) has affected him emotionally, and has made him prone to psychic 'temper tantrumns', where he will lash out with his mind at anyone near. Nudge doesn't seem to have any concept of 'I' or 'me', but instead refers to himself as simply 'Nudge'. He will do this with others too, by refering to them directly by their name (or whatever nickname he's given them), rather than 'you' or 'he' or 'she', etc. Has never been around people, but now that he is, and has a place among them, would do anything to help, although it seems as though he's just latching onto them. Like the other experiments, he finds it difficult to trust people not like him, but among the others, he is very concerned for their safety and will do his best to help, the little that he can. When he first started learning of the Outside, he started displaying a very childlike curiosity, and is relentless in his questioning. Doesn't get angry as such (other than the previously mentioned temper tantrumns, but they're just caused by frustration at not being able to communicate), but if anything threatens those few he trusts then you've just caught the attention of a highly unstable, highly powerful psychic. And it isn't attention that you would particularly want.
Most wouldn't expect it, but Nudge is actually rather intelligent, and if the scientists at the Lab had ever tested him for anything other than his powers they would have realised this. His intelligence is obviously limited by the fact he doesn't know anything about the Outside, though if he was given the chance to learn, he would pick things up fairly quickly. Oddly enough, he doesn't seem to have the same short attention span as the other mutants, and can focus on a task for quite a while, often becoming completely absorbed in it to the exclusion of all else.
~Fears: Simply put, Nudge is scared of pretty much everything, but since fear has become such a permenant emotion for him he doesn't seem to even register it's existance. Bright lights and loud, high pitched noises, which seem to remind him of the experiments, seem to be his main fears, along with small enclosed spaces. Oddly enough though, he also hates large open spaces as well, as he isn't used to them. Has been in isolation for almost his entire life, so is scared around people, even if it's only a few at a time. This fear is only increased by his lack of communication skills. He is also very reluctant to let anyone (normals especially) touch him, as before, the only time that happened it was when he was being beaten. For Nudge to actually allow you near enough to touch him should be seen as an honour, and signals that he trusts you. Since he himself is very small, as are many of the other mutants, he is also very scared of people who are much taller than him, as in his experience, they were always people who were going to hurt him. Much like the other experiments, he is scared of needles.
~History: Nudge was born in the lab, and so has never seen the outside before. The most major event in his life in the Lab is the failed experiment that removed his ability to speak, though even if that hadn't happened he would still be as quiet as he is now, mainly due to fear and lack of social interaction. What he doesn't know is that even though the experiment was clasified as 'Failed', the loss of his speech was actually intentional, in order to force him to rely on his powers, and make them stronger. Obviously now, his escape from the lab, which he played a major part in by enabling the escape of 'Subject X' or 'Emvee', as he is now known, is the most major.
