APPEARANCE:

Kyle is a somewhat lean kid of sixteen years. He has dirty blonde hair, with black highlights in some areas. He has pronounced dark sideburns and a light goatee. His facial features show some of his feral nature, with eyes that seem almost a little too big. His teeth are sharper than a normal human’s, with elongated canines. He has pointed ears, usually hidden by his hair.

Kyle hates wearing excess clothing. Anything more than a pair of loose fitting shorts makes him feel horribly constricted. Occasionally, when the situation calls for it, he’ll relent and put on a shirt. But he hates shoes most of all, they throw off his balance and make him slightly clumsy. Even in the coldest winters he’ll wear as little as he can get away with.

His posture is almost always slouched or completely hunched over. He walks on the balls of his feet rather than flat-footed. If in a hurry, he’ll run on all fours much faster than anyone on two feet can run. He also doesn’t sit as normal people do, instead sitting on a crouch upon chairs and furniture.

PERSONALITY:

Kyle Gibney is a young man torn right down the middle. On one hand, you have a young man raised in the highlands of Scotland. To this Kyle, there is nothing more important than family. He is a pleasant, if somewhat mischievous young man. He is quick with a joke, and unafraid to poke fun at himself. Even before his mutations, Kyle grew up with a deep love for the outdoors. And growing up in Ross and Cromarty, among some of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes, it is easy to see why. As a child, he was always climbing things, be they trees, hills, and later, mountains.

However, Kyle is also fraught with insecurity. Especially after his mutation, he has a very negative body image, describing himself as someone with a face “only a blind mother can love.” Although normally pleasant, he is very slow to trust. But those he does trust he defends with feral tenacity and standoffish loyalty. He is especially weary of those who claim to understand him. He does soften around others with similar physical mutations.

Kyle’s animalistic side, an effect of his mutation, is a bit more subtle than others. He lacks Wolverine’s rage or Sabretooth’s sadism. At his most unrestrained, Kyle resembles a predatory cat. If he is hungry, he will hunt, usually smaller game. Normally he will hunt rabbits, opossums, or smaller deer. Only if starved or wounded will he act aggressive towards humans.

Normally, Kyle is in a state in the center of his two sides. He prefers to stay outdoors, and gets restless indoors. He will hunt, mainly for fun and usually lets his prey go. He enjoys climbing trees, rocks, the mansion walls… just about anything. And just like an animal, to someone he trusts he is dogged and persistent in their defense. Clothes are a point of contention for Kyle. They make him feel restrained and constricted. Typically, he will wear shorts for modesty's sake, but often goes without a shirt unless told otherwise. And you can forget about getting shoes on him without a fight.

ADVANTAGES:

BALANCE - Having spent his childhood in the rocky peaks of Ross and Cromarty, Wild Child is a natural climber even before factoring in his mutant abilities.

COMBAT REFLEXES - Lacking the power and durability of other ferals, Wild Child instead relies of his fast reflexes and foot speed.

ATHLETE - Wild Child is a naturally gifted gymnast. Due to his healing factor, he does not need regular exercise to keep up his build. He just does it anyway because he enjoys it.

CAT STALK - Kyle naturally walks on the balls of his feet, making him quieter than most. Coupled with his natural gymnastics skills, this makes him an adept stealth operative.

DOUBLE-JOINTED - Kyle's body is altered to assume positions most humans cannot. He can remain at a crouch for hours without discomfort.

POWERS:

HEALING FACTOR - Kyle's main ability is a healing factor not dissimilar from that possessed by Wolverine and Sabretooth. Kyle is capable of healing much more rapidly than a baseline human. Minor scrapes and cuts heal in a few seconds, while more life-threatening injuries can take days or even weeks to heal. His ability is somewhat weaker than others. He cannot regenerate severed or lost limbs, and his threshold for toxins, poisons, and disease, while much higher than a humans, is lower than Logan's or Creed's. He can resist extremes of heat and cold better than most humans, due both to his powers and due to his upbringings in the Scottish Highlands.

ALTERED PHYSIOLOGY - Upon the advent of his mutation, Kyle's body underwent a painful metamorphosis. His skeleton became much more flexible. His musculature tightened and became more refined. This enables him to be faster and more agile than a normal human. His teeth grew out to the point at which they resemble fangs.

CLAWS - Kyle's finger and toenails completely fell out, and were replaced with claws at the tip of each digit. These claws are made of keratin, like most mammalian predators. They are strong enough to rend flesh, muscle, and some weaker bones, along with wood.

HYPER-SENSES - Kyle's senses are far and above what a normal human's are. His senses of hearing, eyesight, smell, touch, and taste are comparable to a predatory cat's senses.

FIGHTING SKILLS:

ACROBATICS - Kyle's abilities make him a natural acrobat. He can climb, leap, and tumble with ease. He lends this both to defense, lessening fall damage, as well as his own eclectic fighting style.

CLIMBING - Kyle is an expert climber, able to scale a wide variety of surfaces. Trees, rocks, even sheer walls. He uses his claws to help keep his grip when he can.

COMBAT STYLE (Streetfighting)- Kyle relies on his agility and speed in a fight. He also utilizes his environment, rebounding off of walls and utilizing low-hanging branches and/or overhangs.

DIRECTIONAL SENSE - Kyle always seems to know which way is north, even in the thickest woods or most desolate locations.

TRACKING - Thanks to his enhanced senses, Kyle can track a person for miles with little problem.

DISADVANTAGES:

CRUDE - Kyle has a disdain for clothing, only wearing the bare minimum when he can. Sitting isn't very comfortable for him, so he squats in his seat instead.

FIDGETY - Especially when indoors. Kyle loves being outside and on the move. getting him to sit still, even in class, is a difficult prospect.

MONSTROUS - While Kyle has some physical abnormalities (large eyes, pointed ears, fangs, claws) he thinks he is much uglier than he really is.

UNIFORM:

Kyle wears a standard X-uniform, tailored to be lighter to reduce the weight and constriction he feels. The gloves and boots are omitted so he can utilize his claws.

EQUIPMENT:

SMARTPHONE: iPhone. He recently got this so that people can contact him in an emergency. However, beyond the basic functions of a phone, he has no idea how to use it.
