Mutation: August has the ability to generate force feilds. When in use, the feilds are not visible and stop all matter from entering the area. When the area protected is large, the feild is weaker. The biggest area that August has ever tried to protect was his 2 story town house. This worked fairly well, although he had no way of telling how strong the field was. It is strongest when around a person, and in that case, nothing can touch them. This means elements and other people. A good force field can be held for a max of an hour and a half if no interest is lost. Although it doens't harm him, August only uses his mutation in times of great importance, and to bother his wife.
History: August was born to his parents Victoria and Matthew Cooly in New York City. He was the oldest with two sisters in his command. He grew up having lots of money. His father was a top lawyer, his mother the heir to a hot sauce fortune. As a child, he watched his parents throw huge galas for senators, clients and socialites. Unlike most of his play mates, August developed a calm and congenial personality.
In high school, he was big man on campus. Following a big move to Connecticut, he found his place as wrestling team captain. He had many girlfriends, but never really found the girl of his dreams.
Just like his dad, August went to Harvard for Law. It was there that he met his future wife, Flora. She enrolled in the medical school. They hit if off right away and as soon as they both graduated and August had a stady job, they were married.
By this time, the mutant situation was begining to get bad. Although August kept his mutation a secret, he wasn't about to sit and watch as other mutants were thrown into jail. So by the time August and Flora welcomed their first child to the world, he had joined a Mutant rebellion group. After work everyday, August would travel into Hartford and meet with the rebellion. As time went on, the party grew. And with the party, the Government grew as well. August became the cheif propaganda writer. He took photos, wrote speeches and made videos under the name Mistake.
It was difficult for him to live this life and keep his marriage going. He finally told his wife about the rebellion. She knew about his mutation but was still concerned about the family's safety. This triggered August's decision to move to New York City where it would be more difficult for him to be found.
Report of Mutant Capture: It was around 4 in the morning. Marina was asleep in the back seat and Flora was riding shot gun. Although the rest of the car was calm, August was on edge. He knew it wasn't safe for the family to take the trip to Florida, but Flora wanted to see her parents. The highway was empty ahead of them and August was driving way above the speed limit. He wanted to get away.
It was pitch black outside. August was about to pull into a rest stop when several pairs of headlights appeared in the rearview. His hands gripped the stearing wheel.
"Flora?" he said, his voice shaking. " They're comming for me. Don't tell them anything. You didn't know about my mutation, or abou the rebellion. As soon as they let you out, they'll be watching you too. You need to go back to Florida and live with your parents or something. Home won't be safe."
He tried to think things out as he increased his speed. It was frustrating, not being able to protect his family. He didn't know what to do. Would they shoot? Or would they wait for him to pull over? He pulled off onto an exit. Somehow he found a back road. It was getting light out now. As the road winded, he realized what they were going to do.
"Flora? I love you, ok? I'm sorry this had to happen." and with that, he kissed her.
They shot at his tires going 85 mph. He had just enough time to put a feild around the car. They were all knocked out on impact and when August woke up, he was here in Freakopolis with no idea where his family was.[/blockquote]
