::Quicksilver::
Name: Pietro Maximoff
Codename: Quicksilver
Affiliation: Brotherhood
Age: 32
Physical Appearance:
Height: 6'0
Weight: 178 lbs
Eyes: Pale Blue
Hair: Bleach White
Build: Lean, with somewhat average muscular form. However, his lower body has a more thicker tone.
Strengths: With his speed, Pietro can, say, mow the lawn, paint fences and other outside chores less than five minutes. He can also think so fast, you'd barely have time to blink twice.
Weaknesses: So used to doing things fast, Pietro is incredible impatient. He can't even stand staying in one place for so long without leaving. He's even full of himself, too arrogant to the point he thinks he god's gift to the world. Also, obsessive (or would be) of gaining his father's acceptance, Pietro would become a yes-man to get it.
Powers:
Superhuman Speed: Quicksilver is capable at running at the speed of over Mach 1, over the speed of sound (770 mph). He's able to dodge bullets like he's running through them, pluck flying arrows, and even move past the mansion's security. He can run on oceans, and sides of buildings, effortlessly, and also seems able to use some type of energy, comparing it to "his father's power". Pietro also can create typhoons that can cause a huge mess in streets by simply running around in a tight circle.
Molecular Destabilization: Through his life as a mutant, and learning to control his power, one other ability he learned was to vibrate his molecular structure. This would allow him to even vibrate his hands through handcuffs. If he tried hard enough, by touching a wall, firmly, and vibrate it, he can cause a unstable force around it...meaning, he can make it explode. But such a feat tires him out, so he hardly uses it.
Enhanced Durability: Pietro is able to endure tremendous impacting force that could normally kill a mere human, instantly. This comes in handy if he were to crash into something.
Other Skills:
Gifted Intellect: Though he doesn't seem like it, Pietro is intellectually gifted, able to think at great speeds, contrary to his impulsiveness.
History:
Pietro was the son of Magneto and a gypsy named Magda. However, just after his, and his sister Wanda's birth (and unknown to Magneto), Magda fled from her husband, terrified of his bizarre powers and mostly his intentions for the world. In the European nation Transia, because she feared Magneto would find them, Magda left the babies in the care of an orphanage, owned by a woman named Bova.
But soon, the twins were adopted by a gypsy couple, Django and Marya Maximoff. The twins, years later, discovered they have extraordinary gifts, but when their adopted father stole food to feed them, the enraged villagers attacked their campsite. Pietro used his speed to flee, with his sister. The circumstances of their separation from their family were so traumatic that not until well into adulthood could they remember anything but the barest details of their childhood. So, since then, they traveled central Europe, surviving as much as they could...even if they had to use their powers to steal.
Since then, Pietro lived off, on his own with his sister, surviving as much as they could. Their powers allowed them to easily steal food and money to help them live off. So much so, Pietro enjoyed the thrill of it. His powers allowed him to pickpocket two dozen groups under a minute and make off to the next town before anyone's notice. They even stole enough money to even stay at hotels, even the high priced ones. Life is good for the speedster.
But luck can always run out.
