  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Name: Ian Smythe

Code Name: Glance

Age: Just turned 15

Race: Caucasian (mostly of German descent, with some Irish and Italian for good measure)

Hair: Dirty, dark blondish color; spiky and short

Eyes: Grey

Physical Appearance: About 5'7" tall, and slim. Not particularly strong, nor a good fighter, he nonetheless uses his small stature to blend effectively into crowds and be sneaky when need be.

Personality: Generally, he isn't one of the most well-liked people in circles his own age. He tends to be a bit of a tattle-tale and rats people out, but then breaks the rules on his own now and then, giving him not the best reputation. He also has a tendency for eavesdropping, and for being in the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong time, if that makes sense, which usually makes him end up with interesting pieces of information that he shouldn't necessarily know. Inside though, he's a pretty normal, yet insecure, teenager who just wants to fit in and make friends. He's never found that to be easy though, so his current personality is sort of a defense mechanism -- the only way he can stay sane and keep going in the midst of his otherwise messed up life.

History: Not a lot to tell about him. His parents divorced when he was 11, his mom running off, never to be heard from again. His dad turned a bit to alcoholism, and went from job to job and place to place, though he never hurt Ian directly. Still, Ian blames him somewhat for his inability to fit in or spend enough time in one place to call it home. The MTC was Mr. Smythe's only real choice for his son -- he was at the end of his own road, having been caught in a botched robbery attempt, tried, and sentenced to two years in jail. Garrett had a younger sister, but she was taken by his mother when she left, and as that was one of the only good, close relationships he had, that loss didn't affect him very positively either.

Mutant Powers: They are all vision-related. His eyes are normally a very dull, non-descript grey, but when he uses one of his powers, they change to different colors, allowing for different effects, some of which he doesn't even know he has yet, but which include:
White - X-Ray/UV/Infrared vision -- he can see all across the spectrum, but mainly uses it to see through things. (Current Ability)
Yellow - Light-energy force-beams, currently which pack a good whammy, but not usually enough to completely subdue a foe. (Current Ability)
Blue - Temporarily freezes the person in his line of sight in place, for about a thirty-second period of time. He's barely begun to manifest this power, and it's not fully controlled as of yet. (Current Ability)
Silver - Hypnotic stare, which allows him to send simple mental commands to anyone who catches his glance. (Latent Ability)
Green - Catches random, half-memories from people; concentration and time might allow this ability to become more strategic and allow for focusing on particular memories. (Latent Ability)
