.:Current Location of Residence:.X-Mansion

.:History:. Bobby was born in Boston. When he first discovered his mutant powers, he hid them prom his family, fearing what they would do if they knew the truth about him. He convinced his parents to send him to Xavier’s school instead, telling them that it was a prep school.

Bobby was always a good student while at Xavier’s school, getting into a little trouble now and then, but nothing major. He’s friendly to new students when they arrive and sticks up for them if someone tries to be a bully. He is one of the first students to reach out to Rogue when she arrives, and the two develop a romantic relationship. He has an uneasy friendship with Pyro but things change as Pyro joins Magneto. Bobby’s own brother turns him into the police at one point, showing Bobby that being with the Xmen is really the only place he belongs.

Sample Post

”You should see what Bobby can do” He heard the girl he had fallen in love with say those words as he sat there in front of his parents and brother’s judging eyes. He knew they wanted him to be normal, to say he had made a mistake and that he wasn’t really a mutant. He gave a slight nod to the others before reaching out slowly and touching the edge of his mother’s coffee cup as she went to take a sip. The drink quickly froze and she jumped in shock.

Bobby hoped that seeing that his power wasn’t a bad thing, maybe his family would be more accepting. They would see it as a gift, like the professor had always told them, and not see him as just being a freak, or having something wrong with him. He wasn’t disabled, he could do something extra. But instead the look of horror was apparent on their faces, his brother stormed out of the room. His mother poured out the coffee ice on the saucer in front of her. The only one who seemed impressed was the cat who jumped up and started licking the ice. Bobby felt ashamed and guilty, wanting his family’s acceptance but knowing like this, he’d never fully have it.
