General Appearance: Alexander is a tall young man with an athletic, symmetrical body. His long blond hair possesses a burnished gold tone, highlighted further by the glow of his aura. Sapphire eyes, even white teeth and a ready smile shine from the flawless light-bronze skin of his face. His body is constantly surrounded by a swirling hazy nimbus of golden light, as warm as afternoon sunlight on a hot day, which only fades when he has taxed himself to exhaustion. When his mutant abilities are in use, lens-flares and motes of golden light spark and shimmer around his body, appearing and disappearing within the aura of light.

Nature of Mutation: Alex's manifestation somehow permits the young mutant to absorb and store solar/stellar radiation, as well as catalyse other forms of electromagnetic and nuclear energies (heat, light, fire, electricity, etc) into sunlight within the individual cells of his body. It's theorised that this catalysation process takes place within an unusual membrane around every cell of his body. Each individual cell is capable of holding at least <<<<Restricted!>>>> of energy in this fashion.

Using this energy, Alex can fly, project hard-photonic fields around his body, and generate enormous heat by inducing the stored power to lase through the lenses of his eyes (see attached file Physiological Changes: Alexander Andrews ). Theoretical measurements place this output at roughly <<<<Restricted!>>>>, which is about half the surface temperature of our Sun. We further postulate that he can utilise his stored energy in other ways defined by the changes we have seen in his cellular structure, but he has yet to develop further outward manifestations of this.

All of these changes bear a price, however. At 'full-charge', Mr Andrews actually radiates moderate-intensity solar radiation, essentially bleeding off sunlight from each cell. Whilst not extreme, prolonged close (within a few feet) contact with Mr Andrews would be roughly equivalent to the same amount of time spent exposed to a hot summer sun. Tanning, sunburn, and a potential risk of melanoma could result if care is not taken.

There is also a danger to Mr Andrews himself from this energy-bleed. If he does not get sufficient <<<<System Warning! Security Penetration detected and traced! Initiating I.C.!>>>>

Hello Mr Shane. It appears your curiosity is as boundless as ever. Such a LOT of energy you have.

Running track, tomorrow morning before breakfast, if you please. I wouldn't advise eating first.

Psychological Profile: Alexander Andrews

Initial Results:

Alex Andrews is for the most part a textbook ENFP (Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving) personality type, being introspective, values-oriented rather than focused on goals and achievements, innately gifted in inspiring/motivating others due to his own passion for projects he undertakes, as well as being socially adept and extremely expressive. ENFPs are natural advocates, with excellent people skills deriving from their warmth, energy and positivity. Their social impact is born of their genuine liking for others rather than any need to control or impose their will on surrounding personalities.

Experts characterise ENFPs as both "idea" and "people"-people, whose basic perceptions regard everyone and everything as part of a cosmic whole, in addition to being greatly energised around other people. There is a curious and highly intriguing parallel in Mr Andrew's case with regards to his mutation, which links him inexorably to the source of all life: sunlight.

Effects of personality type on interpersonal relationships:

Friends, family and loved ones are what life is about to the ENFP, more than other types. Loyal to a fault, they hold up their end of relationships no matter what, which leads to a potential of being victimized by less caring individuals. Though not unhealthily dependant on others for their self-esteem, some suffer short-term difficulty being rejected or alone, especially on a regular basis.

We have learned that Alex's parents have effectively divorced him. Though he appears to be handling the emotional turbulence this must be causing, we should keep him under observation for a few months to be sure that he settles in well at the Academy. Given his personable nature and innate confidence, he will likely form friendships quickly with others.

<<<<Director's Note>>>> Let's put him in with Warren Covelli. The fact that they both have strongly-developed character will ensure that neither dominates the other. They should get along well after a while. Assuming that they make it through the first night without one or the other visiting the infirmary, that is.

Effects of personality type in a work/educational setting:

Textbook ENFPs are pleasant, easy-going, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. They can lend massive impetus to the initial stages of a group-focused project through virtue of their enthusiasm and creativity. Followthrough after the initial launch tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned.

Reports from Mr Andrew's previous school's educational psychologist reinforce our initial assessment of his personality type. Highly intelligent and articulate, he may need a certain level of direction or motivation in order to follow-through an assignment to the end, particularly if any tedium is involved. He is aware of this fault and strives to compensate for it, sometimes leading to hastily finished projects as he races to finish before he gets bored. In group assignments, this has proved to be less of a problem. The fun of working with others counterbalances his need to move on to something more interesting.
