Combat Training and Music

Mutations: 
5% Red Squirrel, 2% Raccoon, 93% Human

Abilities: 
Extra-sensory skills
- His vision is exceptionally well at night, though he has great sight overall. He can focus in on small details and see from farther away than a normal human would. His hearing is very sensitive, allowing him to hear certain frequencies better than others. His sense of smell is great for tracking and can pick up on even the slightest of scents. That old trick of splashing in the river? Won't work unless you completely bathe yourself in that water. He can feel even the slightest of depressions in surfaces, letting him tell the difference in things that look alike to the naked eye. Two things may look the same, but the grooves wouldn't be exactly the same. The only thing that wasn't affected was his sense of taste.

Telepathy
- This is a one way connection for the most part. His telepathy is limited to expressing his thoughts. He can choose who 
can hear his thoughts. He can strike up a conversation mentally if needed but the other person has to give consent. During said telepathic 
conversation, the person he's talking with can hide thoughts that they don't want him to know. He can't force himself into others head's, and his ability is limited to communication only.

Weaknesses: 
Overly Sensitive
- Those super senses are useful, but can be overbearing. Bright lights can, and will, stun/blind him for a short period of time, high pitch noises will put him through agonizing pain, and his sense of touch causes all pain felt to be super charged.

Excessive Burn off
- Depending on how active he is, he may either be hyper or exhausted. He needs to eat a lot of food to maintain stable energy levels. When he's hyper, he won't be able to sleep, which is represented in his darkened circles. When he's over used himself, he'll oversleep and/or eat extra.

Silence
- The lack of a larynx leaves his speech more than lacking. He is unable to speak, or make any such noise aside from labored breathingg sounds when the muscles near the back of the throat are constricted.

Mental Damage
- His history has left him with some minor brain issues. Certain events may trigger a mental or emotional breakdown. (Motherly figures, large amounts of blood, mauling injuries, death of some one close, etc.)

Personality: 
|| Passive | Friendly | Sentimental | Sympathetic | Jumpy ||


Mads would rather avoid conflict and just relax by himself. This doesn't mean he won't become aggressive to try and scare some one off if they're making him uncomfortable. He is relatively nice to everyone he meets. If he thinks he can trust some one, he'll open up and become more outspoken, er... y'know what I mean. Should he find some one he becomes friends with, he'll do what he can to make them happy. Mads holds onto things that have a specific meaning to them. He likes things that he can touch, or things that invigorate his senses and invoke memories. If some one gives him something, even if he doesn't necessarily like the person, he'll hold it dear. He's a wonderful listener. He lets people express themselves in front of him if they need to, and, hey, it's not like he would tell anyone anyway. He knows how to comfort people and is very kind-hearted in general. Loud noises and sudden movements cause him to flinch and become flighty. He doesn't like people who shout, as well as those who are prone to violent outbursts.

Biography: 

He was created in a 'School' in Norway with the intent of being the perfect reconnaissance spy. For that purpose they modified his genes to disable the growth of his larynx, that way, if he was captured on a mission, he couldn't have information tortured out of him. As he developed from a few cells to a fetus, it was obvious that a few mistakes were made in the mutations as his tail and ears grew. He was allowed to be born so that they could examine his growth patterns and learn how to adjust the levels of gene mutation for the next experiment. After the Whitecoats had acquired what they desired, they ordered him to be disposed of.

Fortunately, the Danish scientist they'd assigned to kill him felt that it was wrong to just murder a baby and escaped the labs with him. The scientist, Lailah Dupont, took him to a safe-house in Liseland Slots Park to protect him. She'd had the home built in case things went south with the labs. There, she named him after her father and raised him to the best of her ability. She taught him how to read and write, and learned sign language with him. He truly believed that she was his mother, but he often wondered why he looked different than she did. Finally, he questioned her about why he'd only seen her, and why they looked so different. Yet, every time he'd ask, she'd change the subject and distract him. Her parents knew about him, and didn't approve of Laliah's descision at first, though they came to terms with it later. Mads had seen them on several occasions, and thinks of them like real grandparents.

A few months before his 14th birthday, Lailah left the house, leaving him to his own amusement. Almost an hour later, she came running back to the house with blood on her clothes and a gun in her hand. She yanked him from the table, shoving a journal into his arms and pushing him into a room he'd never known existed. The sound of a helicopter whirring above the house echoed into the hidden room, followed by the smashing of glass, gunshots, and canine growling. He heard something being smashed and Lailah screamed, only to be cut off into a deep gurgling sound. The growling came closer to hidden entrance of the room and Mads pulled his knees close to his chest, trying to keep his breathing quiet. "The runt's not here. Move out.", a gruff, rumbling voice said, and the heavy boot steps thudded out of the house. He waited for a few minutes until he couldn't hear the helicopter's fwip fwip fwip anymore. Silently, he shoved the door open and crept into the hallway, shaking as he nervously made his way to the living room. "Mom? A-are you okay?", he called, his voice trembling with fear. The strong smell of copper filled his nose before he'd rounded the corner and he froze in place when he saw Lailah's mutilated corpse.

He didn't need to touch her; he'd seen dead things before and he could tell. There was no warm radiance coming from her, and her eyes seemed to carry only a distant echo of life. He started crying, violently shaking as he collapsed to his knees. But the worst thing was that it was completely silent in the house. After recovering from the trauma, he hid away upstairs to try and recover from seeing his 'mother' dead. After about 10 minutes of crying, he remembered the journal she'd given him and began flipping through the pages. Lailah had known she'd never be able to properly take care of him. She knew the School would send some one- or more correctly, something- to kill her, so she was always looking for a place that could offer him a proper life. She eventually found out about the Refuge in Utah, and began to research the camp, collecting information. In fact, the reason she'd left that day was to collect some aerial photos of Utah, so that she could make the coordinates more accurate.There were maps of Copenhagen, tickets for trans-continental flights, and a credit card. Also included within the journal were a set of cardinal coordinates with a corresponding phone number. He didn't want to leave his 'mom' behind, but he knew that she'd probably died to get him out alive. There was a note in the front of the journal that told him where to find a back pack filled with supplies, including a stuffed rabbit from when he was young child. His first thought was to go to his Grandparents home and live with them. However, something told him that this would cause more harm then good.

So, he began his journey to America. Sadly, since he was sheltered his entire life, he was never prepared for the real world. While on his trip from Denmark to the Mutant Refuge Camp, he wasn't sure how to interact with the humans. He was smart enough to know he had to hide his tail, but he never knew how to cover his facial markings and ears. After an entire over-seas flight of hearing whispers and people avoiding him, he shop-lifted a beanie to cover his ears and hoped he could finish his trip without any other problems. He landed in New York City and was completely overwhelmed by what he'd experienced. He tried to escape as quickly as he could and found a safe place to hide. He took the chance and searched through the bag and found a GPS and an iPhone, typing in the lock code, which was written in the book. He followed the instructions she'd left and recorded a video of him, sending the following message in sign language.

"My mom has been killed. I need help. She told me to go to you. That you would... know how to help. I'm trying to make my way to this place, the place where you are. I hope I'll find you. I'm really scared."

After making the video, he sent it to the phone number and began making his way to the coordinates by stealing a ride in large trucks. The noise from the trucks made him nervous, but after a few days of hitch-hiking, the sound sometimes helped to drone out his thoughts. He used the GPS to find his way to the camp, and got off the truck at their nearby supply town. He was confused because the coordinates said he should've been at the camp, so he easily became frustrated. He was near tears when one of the workers at the camp came upon him, questioning why he was alone. Mads almost bolted from the worker appearing, but he held his ground and tried to calm down. He pulled out his book and flipped to a page that had a map the camp. Exhausted and almost hopeless, he tried to believe that he'd found some one to help him. Thankfully, the worker recognized his intent, and on his next delivery, he took Mads to the camp to be admitted. It took some time, but eventually he grew enough trust to let his mutations show, taking his hat off and letting his tail come from around his waist.

It's been just over 2 months since he joined and though he hasn't made many close friends(aside from Jimly), he gets along with most everyone and has been able to relax more. He no longer feels the need to hide his mutations or be afraid of the other mutants- although he still fears Hokeo a bit.

Extras: 

- Because of his inability to vocalize, he's been taught sign language since he was young and knows how to write in Danish. He knows English, but his translations are broken and sloppy(like, "I like you. You are funny person with large heart.").

- He has Kleptomania, a disorder where the afflicted has an inescapable urge to steal things, usually without any reason. While his common instinct is to take shiny things, random items can be found on his person.

-His telepathy is limited to expressing his thoughts. He can choose who can hear his thoughts. He can strike up a conversation mentally if needed but the other person has to give consent. During said telepathic conversation, the person he's talking with can hide thoughts that they don't want him to know. He can't force himself into others head's, and his ability is limited to communication only.

- His sense of taste has regressed, so he can eat essentially anything without a gag reflex getting in the way. However, he can still become sick from certain foods.

- While still being an omnivore, he can get a stomach ache if he eats too much meat. He has no problem with grains and vegetation, but his ability to digest meat isn't the best. He prefers to eat nuts to get his protein and avoid the pain associated with eating flesh.

- He's never had the chance to swim, and he's not very confident about whether he can do it or not.

- His metabolism runs at a much faster rate than normal in order to feed his climbing habits energy usage. It's very difficult for him to gain fat because of this. His body is mostly muscle with a thin layer of baby fat, most of which will be lost when he hits puberty. His lower body is stronger than his upper body, though both are well-developed.

- When he uses telepathy, he tends to move his mouth the way the words come out. It's often mistaken that he can speak, even though he really can't.
