They say a genius is difficult to understand, be it their way of thinking, or their eccentric and numerous oddities born from a mind that just didn't know what to do with itself. Yet, when it comes to Xendalia... there is not much left to clutches of mystery. He is a blunt kid, someone who has grown cynical to the hardship that was his life, struggling to fit into the norm when he was anything but. Words fall sharp and sarcastic, and for the most part, the first thing a person will find about this teen is his utter and complete detest of others. It is not an exact hatred; he can stand being around others, he can play nice and act the part of a team player when required, but there is no way in hell he is going to blindly run into the abyss without a game play he does not approve.

A typical gamer kid, Sena holds a sense of dorkiness that is amusing to behold, though it is a cold day in hell before he reveals that part of him to another. Gaming, be it your high intensity MMO's to the old school pac-man, a person can claim a lot of ground in pulling him into their corner by sharing the same interests. Growing up most of his younger years alone, this aspect of his life was both a safety net, and a means of escape. Beware though, don't be surprised if this literally takes over all else with him; he is the sort that can be sitting in on a meeting of vital importance, and have his phone out under the table trying to beat his high score at tetris.

It is not to say though that he is completely content in his little bubble, forever separate from the world. There is a part of him that is a lonesome little boy that is desperate for acceptance, even if it is a single individual he can call his (Xendalia is one possess asshat). Though slow to tempt, once the work has been done, there is little that can be done to shift him from his loyalties. Tempting him to the other side is just not going to happen, because there is a small part inside him that wants to grab on to with both hands and not let go.

Curiosity they said killed that cat, and it will probably be one feature in his persona that will be his undoing. There is just an obsessive need to know about EVERYTHING that draws him into potentially dangerous ventures, snooping where he shouldn't and being an all around detective of his own doing. However whereas others seek out profit by committing their skills to others, he is committed to only his own desires, and sometimes, those who have managed to wiggle their way under his skin.


He was born to a typical middle class family; one that would never expect their own to be anything but ordinary. Yet, from a young age, it was clear Sena was different, more... aware. Learning to read, write, and overall, housing a greater understanding of anything put before him than most by the time he was four the child was a mystery to his parents. He grew up a lonely child, often teased for his... differences, and for the most part, no one ever quite got the hint. He was a nerd, a teachers pet, a mutant. Before the Initiative, anything truly different was feared, and prosecuted indiscriminately through the cruelty of children.

Giving up on the prospects of friendship soon enough, Sena turned to the virtual world, something he understand far more than the habits of humans. It started as video games, and soon moved to the more... illicit acts. Hacking, acquiring programs that he would otherwise have to pay for. The other kids took notice, and soon, the bullying returned, this time from the older kids in school that wanted modding and pirated merchandise. Hardly a kid that could stand up for himself, he took it, growing ever more resentful.

It was his first felony at the age of fifteen, charged for actions he never wanted to commit. Forever to be labelled the 'problem child.' Perhaps it was his own fault, seeming to think the whole world was against him, yet, it was yet another factor that came into his mind set of him against the world. Running away (literally) seemed one of the only logical conclusions, abandoning the home that never truly felt welcoming, and a town that had ridiculed him from birth. Leaving the New York state, he came to Kingsport after living in the city of New York, working in crime groups, using his technological skills to acquire money.
[break][break]
It was a far different world in Kingsport, a place that seemed to literally crawl with superpowered individuals. Watching the tv, he was greeted day after day with news reports of some villain facing their greatest nemesis. It amused him, for the most part, the constant struggle. Yet, it also offered him an opportunity to create a new beginning for him. He was no Hero... he had never been, nor would he ever be. Perhaps making the best of a bad situation. For the most part, he worked on small to mid level wrongdoer, be it bank robbers, fraudulent companies crazed psychopaths on the loose. He never approached the bigger fish; he knew he had not the force to confront them head on. Sometimes however, if he was feeling particularly brazen, he'd offer up intel about their location or activities via the web anonymously to the law enforcements. After all, it was impossible to keep oneself from being completely untracked.

Hosting in incredible intellect, Sena has book smarts unlike most people you will encounter. Be it breaking down the workings of anothers abilities, or getting that illusive A+ in his university classes, there is very little that he can't understand. He has a deep fascination with engineering, often building his own computers and tech. Given access to some money, more often than not he's building some sort of gadget. Give him an idea, give him the ability to fund the project, and one way or another, the product will be made.

His mind works faster than most, analyzing and deconstructing minuscule data to come to a logical conclusion. Some say he is like a computer, completely without ethics or feeling in his decisions. He will always come to the 'best' conclusion, and not necessarily the 'right' one. This is one reason behind his sometimes promiscuous actions, abiding and riding the edge of the law, and sometimes outright breaking it.

Technology has always been his 'friend;' he knows all the ins and outs of assembling and resembling a database, and cane break through firewalls like they are made of porous glass. Whether it is hacking into company files or breaking into emails to leave some amusing prank, it is both his hobby as well as an addiction. It is in his knowledge of computers that give rise to his true renown. Though a budding speed demon (more often hurting himself than anything else), his true super power lay in the virtual world. He was... well, a crime lord in those first few years away from home, hacking and stealing from people, businesses, and banks. He left no trace, left no markers that would claim him the fault, at least, he was pretty sure he didn't. Though but a 'kid,' life was hard, and he had to master the gifts given him if he was going to survive in this world on his own.

Having a terrible childhood seems to be the best opportunity to push a person to do better, to become something more than an easy target. As embarrassing as it sounds, Sena took up kickboxing with his mother. Ever the health fanatic, it was perhaps their one and only true means of bonding, and surprisingly, he took to it rather well; this skinny white kid. Four years since, it stands to reason he has at least gained some sort of efficiency in its use, often falling back upon the familiar positions in his hobby/career in fighting crime.
