Julian Keller || Hellion

Clothing/Appearance:

Julian's on the tall side, though not a giant like some people, and he's very fit. I tend to assume that he falls towards the "sixteen year old who keeps fit" as opposed to "twenty-six year old bodybuilder" look because apparently Marvel artists forget that sixteen year olds are kind of rangy and growing still.  He's definitely not a noodle, and it's pretty clear that Julian is very fit, very agile and keeps in shape.

The first thing anyone is really going to notice are the metal gauntlets, which are seen here.  Marvel is inconsistent as to how far they go up - I've seen them go from his mid-forearm to all the way up to his shoulder, and whether they're connected to him or he manipulates them telekinetically. I tend to assume that they go to just around his elbow and they are connected to him via his nervous system - he is basically able to manipulate them as he would his own hands, though he is occasionally a little clumsier because he can't feel what he's doing.  To try and cover up the prosthetics as much as he can, Julian tends to wear long jackets that cover his wrists and parts of his hands and in winter he wears gloves.

Other than that, he isn't wearing his X-Man/training squad/Hellions uniform in camp, despite that being what most of his icons show, because he's taken from beyond that. He dresses fairly casually now - jeans, t-shirt, jacket etc etc, because it's harder to dress the way he used to dress without … going into stores and the like and that's rather hard when you're a mutant in current continuity. He always wears the jacket, no matter what the weather is like, because he hates his prosthetics that much.  His eyes are blue though half the time they're brown in art because Marvel is inconsistent, his hair is black and longish - it's long enough for him to put it back behind his ears.

Get his clothes off and Julian's kind of scarred!  His chest is a scarred mess after being impaled on someone's claws, he's been bitten on his shoulder, gunshot wound on one side and he's got some residual scarring on his arms from the traumatic amputation that took his hands off.  It's very unlikely that you would see this unless I decide to be terrible and put him into shower ninja posts and the like because Julian tends to cover this up whenever possible.

Basically he looks like someone chewed him up a bit.  He has started to make a point to improve his personal care again, but he still is noticeably really depressed.

Habits/Mannerisms/Body Language:

Julian tends to hide his hands unless he forgets himself, where he starts treating them as he would normally, gesturing and the like. This means that when he's conscious, he's self-conscious and so very closed off with his body language but because he's so emotionally labile, when he starts forgetting himself (because he's upset, angry, genuinely happy etc) he gets a lot more spontaneous with his body language.  If he's comfortable with a person he'll be far more in their personal space than he would be if he doesn't know them: brofists, high-fives, giving people shoulder hugs, that kind of thing. He tends to save that for his babymutant castmates because they're the ones who have managed to get that close to him.

He tends to gesture when using his telekinesis despite not actually needing to; he's actually a psychokinetic and so just needs to visualise what he's doing, but it's easier if he can see it and can see what he's doing with it. Hence, the gesturing!

A lot of Julian's body language and gestures are very dominant. He's not one to back down from a fight and his body language makes that quite apparent. He stands with his feet shoulder width apart, he's very secure in his footing and when he gestures it's not hesitant in the slightest. Julian knows what he is doing, projects confidence and is pretty aggressive with his body language. You encrouch on it or do something he doesn't like and you'll know it.

Current Residence(s):

Girls' 8 aka the babymutant cabin. It's identifable by the robot shrapnel outside and the creepy sharkguy in a hammock watching their every move.

Typical Daily Routine:

As little as possible.

Okay, seriously, he has a checklist of things he knows he must do and so he accomplishes those throughout the day, checks on his cast but most of the time if he's not in a thread? He's in his room being miserable.

Favorite Haunts:

His room.  It may be his only haunt half the time.

Does he make his own bed?:

He's making a point to do this, but he doesn't do it half as often as he realistically should.
