Name: Rocco Steadfast
Codename: Golem
Age: 17
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 185 lbs. (More with powers)
Hair Colour: Chestnut
Eye Colour: Dark Gray or hazel at times/moods
Race: Mutant
Personality: Rocco is an easy going fellow most of the time. Alot of people think him lazy but he is always willing to do his fair share or even more of work. He just conserves energy until a task worthy of his time and attention. Then he moves into action and gets things done. Alot of people have tried to push him around to find out it wasn't that he was weak or scared to face them when he was actually just passive. People have learned the hard way that he will take only so much abuse before he gets angry and swings into action. When this happens Beware! Rocco is stud born at times and will fight an issue to the very end. Even if he knows he is wrong at times. He hates heights with a passion. He likes to always feel the Earth under his feet. He is a huge environmentalist and is always trying to help out the cause.
Appearance: Rocco is of average height but not build. He is quite board with his deep barreled chest. His muscles are well developed and toned. He would look quite intimidating if it wasn't for his lazy posture. His skin always looks as if he has a nice tan. His over all look is earthy. Brown hair, darkened skin, gray eyes. If he stayed completely still one might think him a statue. His eyes though dull in colour hold a wisdom beyond his age. He dresses in green army cargo pants, combat boots and a white tight t-shirt sometimes with a brown button up shirt over it, undone.
Powers: Rocco has a Mastery of Earth. He can become an element in the ground. Like Stone, Iron, Copper, Clay etc. He can make the earth move and take any shape he wishes. He uses this power to make barriers, ride a wave of earth. Sort of surfing on it. He also can make shapes and make them move about like Pyro does with his fire. He can make the ground shake and heave to the power of a large earthquake. Though he does not like to use it anymore at that power. Because plants grow in earth he can make them grow faster, and into ways he wishes them to grow. He cannot make them move or anything else. He can see/sense they life energy at times but requires focus. He can only manuplate the ground if he is in contact with it. He someone is strong enough to pull him into the air. Which is quite hard to do, he will not be able to make the earth move except the for himself and the element he transformed into. Once he transforms he becomes as tough as the substance becomes and he gets a strength of that almost equal to that of Thing.
Rocco has one other power. He can merge someone else's elemental powers with his. This gives him other things he can manipulate or become. Ie. With Fire - Lava. Water - Mud. Air - Dust. Plants - Nature. He doesn't get the other persons powers unless they merge into one being which he has done only once. What happens if a person is willing to share there powers he gains something between his element and theres. He can only ever use this power if the other person is willing for some reason. If two people do merge they become a new one until they decide to separate again. They energy is pooled and they have access to both powers. Also there attitudes and memories become one. Once they brake apart they each remembered what has happened but quickly forget each other memories and experiences. Again he can only use this power with other elemental power based mutants. It will not work with Mutagenic or magic based powers. It has to be a Mastery type power. Rocco was terrified the only time he fully merge with someone though and tends to avoid using this power to its full potential. It scared him because his motives of what became were only half his and half the other persons. The girl he merged with had less regard for human life then he had and alot of people were hurt. If Rocco used this power again it would be with someone he had undermost trust in or there was no other way.
Bio: Rocco grew up traveling the world. His family were scientist and constantly dragged him around to the wilderness of many countries. He was home schooled by his parents in a field training kind of way. He found out he had powers with his parents saving some animals lives. They were not afraid of him but actually encouraged him to develop his powers. Because of this attitude his parents had and not a whole lot outside interference. He grew up thinking all people would accept him the same way. He has seen and done much in the wilderness but has really no knowledge of cities or people that live in them. When he was older he moved to one to go to school. Many people teased him and his strange ways and later feared him because he was a mutant. He hated his life then and wished he was off with his parent in some remote jungle or plains again. During this time a extreme environmentalist group contacted him and asked for his help. He joined without a second thought. He did not know they were only going to use him a weapon to destroy factories and plants of big businesses.He went along because he had fallen for a girl. The group used that and he followed them. On night they sent him with a small team to destroy a factory. It was supposed to be empty but it wasn't though they did not know it. After much cohering Rocco made an earthquake so strong it destroyed the factory and people inside were injured. Rocco realized then they didn't care about him at all and were just using him. He vowed he would not use that power like that ever again. He stay and let himself be arrested. The case was through out in court due to no evidence. Rocco mopped about for about a year after that was over. It was hard being and outcast and a mutant. Then he found out about Xavier's school and talked to his parents. They thought it a great idea and Rocco went and registered to attended.
