Character Basics

.:Name of Character:. Luca Sandoval
.:Species:. Mutant
.:Alias:. Black Swan
.:Affiliation:. None

Appearance

.:Physical Appearance:. Luca is tall with a muscular build. His features are reflective of his Native American mother more than his German father. Whilst on the job, he dresses in sophisticated and well tailored suits. His long hair that is well down his back, is often slicked back into a perfect ponytail or a single long braid. He is always clean shaven, often seen wearing sunglasses to help maintain an inconspicuous appearance. When 'quitting' his job as an assassin, he cut off his hair so it is shortly cropped, and his attire became more casual, having gone from expensive suits to jeans and a shirt.
.:Height:. 6"2'
.:Portrayed by:. Martin Sensmeier

Personality

.:Personality:. Black Swan is someone who mostly keeps to himself. In his line of work, it is always best not to make long lasting connections, to remain reserved and elusive, only showing up to fulfil the job. His life is one of solitude and he quite prefers it that way. He lacks enough sensitivity and empathy to be able to kill his target without questioning his actions or stopping enough to exercise remorse. Once quitting his job however and leaving the identity of Black Swan behind him, he became someone else. Due to the extensive use of his powers, his mental capacity has deteriorated a little. This resulted in a slight delay in his motor functions and mental processing. He also occasionally talks to himself and takes a few extra moments to sometimes perform a task that may be seemingly effortless to complete.
.:Powers/Abilities:. Psionic Viruses: Black Swan has the ability to implant a psionic virus into another's mind which disrupts mental processing and motor functions. This would hinder natural functions of ones brains to cut off access to and override motor coordination, disorient their concentration, create a delay in perception and actions, etc.

In his line of work, he is also an extremely skilled assassin, inclusive of hand to hand combat, and extremely well trained in different types of firearms.
.:Weaknesses:. When projecting these telepathic viruses onto another, for that brief moment, his mind is connected to the other person's. When killing his victim, it takes a toll on his mental capacity and overtime, caused his own brain to start deteriorating. It reached the point that each time he killed someone with the aid of his powers, it degenerated a part of his own brain. He also must be able to see the person in order to project a mental virus onto them.

History

.:Birthplace:. Germany
.:Family:. Mother and Father
.:Occupation:. Hitman/Assassin, Worker
.:Current Location of Residence:. As an assassin, he did not live in one place, once leaving the job, he moved to Genosha
.:History:. Luca was born as the sole son of a Native American mother and a German father. He had a simple upbringing, his life uneventful . . . that is, until his powers started to take form. He was arguing with his father one day and not realizing what exactly he could do, Luca projected a telepathic virus into his father's brain. The lack of control and severity of it took quick effect onto his father. Despite the doctors efforts, they were unable to explain how his brain deteriorated so quickly. He no longer had the use of his motor functions, coupled with extreme delay processing. The doctors recommended putting him in a facility, but Luca's mother refused and kept him at home. However, because of his dependency, Luca's mother dedicated every moment of her time to his father, taking care of him in every aspect. This caused distance between him and his family and when he reached the age of 18, moved out like any average new adult would.

Only Luca did not have a clear vision of what he wished to do. With the realization of his powers and the potential it held, he longed to do something that would make an impact, leaving a lasting mark. Little did he know how this would take form in his life. He ended up becoming a hitman, an assassin. It started with small jobs, simple ones . . . but as he perfected his powers, his targets became more high profile. He became known as Black Swan, a notable name in this world. He became a well known and used assassin, his capabilities and success rate granting him very high profile targets for wealthy and elite employers. Over time however, the repercussions of Black Swan's actions took hold. With every kill, came the loss of his own mental abilities.

It came to the point where he had his first failed kill, unable to assassinate the target due to his own delayed motor functions. It was at this point, that Black Swan knew he could not continue onto his path; otherwise, he would wind up like his father. Thus, Black Swan disappeared without a trace and Luca resurfaced. He masked his appearance and discovered a place called Genosha, one of isolation and resided by mutants only. This being the perfect place to lay low, Luca moved to Genosha and waits for his mental capabilities to recover so that he can fully heal. He works here in construction, aiding in any manual labour and the building of homes.
