Abilities
Mutation:
Permanent Force-Field Generation -
Jared Corbo is classified as a Beta Level Mutant, with the psionic ability to project a force-field, which surrounds his entire body. His powers were inherited from his father, Unus the Untouchable, but with a slight twist. Unlike his father, he cannot deactivate his shield at will. While the shield is generally porous enough for him to breathe and hear, he can mentally make it impervious to radiowaves, sound waves, air, light waves, and other things. By bending his shield from thin to thick, and vise versa, it does require some concentration.
Radius’s shield can deflect and stop objects and projectiles, with ease, and wouldn’t feel a thing. If a person or object came in contact with it barely using any physical force, it would simply be pushed back gently. But if someone or something were to use a lot of kinetic force while coming in contact with Radius’s shield, the force would be deflected right back at the attacker.
His shield is massively strong and can resist the most devastating of blows, but he is not invulnerable and his abilities do have limits, like any other mutant. If his shield is constantly being struck with powerful attacks it will quickly weaken and eventually disappear. Should this happen, the psionic backlash would leave him severely weakened or unconscious. Once he gathers enough physical strength and energy his body will automatically reactivate his force-field.
Radius can also create extensions to his force-field, enlarging the size of it at will. He can manipulate the shape of his field. For example, he could keep it skin tight, or he can expand it to a bubble shape, for a more defensive maneuver. Radius has learned to use his power to “fake” super-strength. By punching objects with his field wrapped over his fists, it adds a whole lot more physical impact on the object. Powerful enough to break through walls, bend strong metals, and send a person hurling back in one hit. By bracing objects upon his field he can lift massively heavy objects and toss them with ease.
The only way he could touch and feel something, is by extending his force-field over that said object. This is how he is able to eat, and have the great pleasures of sex. Because his force-field is barely visible, but is, never the less, his entire body is wrapped in a slight white glow about 2 inches wide; this gives him the appearance of having perfect radiant skin, and an all around lighter color to him.
Skills:
Personality: Jared isn’t the easiest person to open up to. Living in an orphanage all his life, and being mistreated really put a huge gap in his heart, which caused him to not be able to trust, love, or care for anyone. The only one he’s ever truly cared for was his brother, Adrian Corbo. Jared represents himself as a tough being. The main two reasons for this nature are because he had to show strength for his younger brother growing up in the Hull House, and had to show courage living on his own.
As tough as Jared might seem, deep down in his heart he has a really sensitive caring nature. If someone clicks with Jared emotionally in a good way, he would open this part of his heart to them. An everlasting friendship would be formed. But it would take time; he just doesn’t make friends easily, because of his lack of trust. Jared is tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. Much like his powers; a massively strong force-field on the outside, but is vulnerable and weak on the inside.
Jared has a weakness, one painful weakness; his brother, Adrian Corbo. He feels absolutely terrible about leaving his brother alone in the place they both dreaded. He would sometimes cry over the thought, and receive flashbacks which are played over and over in his mind. This often brings back feelings of guilt and regret. If anyone causes Jared to tap into this memory or converse about having a brother, he will get incredibly aggressive about it, and would feel completely pissed and painfully depressed at the same time. It’s a side of Jared you do not want to click with.
He isn’t impossible to communicate with, and would be friendly with people he first comes in contact with. He would strike up a nice conversation to people he would picture as trustworthy, but if someone said the wrong thing he would become aggressive and pick a fight with that person, and possibly form a grudge against them for life. Once Jared decides to be your friend he is a really cool and fun guy to be around, but if you’ve pissed him off you are in for a world full of hell.
However, being only sixteen years old at Xavier's makes it rather difficult for him to be the 'toughest' guy around. Since most of the male students enrolled there are around ages closer to 18. He tries his best though and never backs down from a fight, no matter what. His ego is pretty big for his young age, giving him quite the attitude and arrogance. He cannot accept the fact of being inferior to someone. Having an almost unbreakable forcefield permanently wrapped around Jared's body has made him quite the dare-devil, and is not afraid to perform dangerous stunts.
Radius’s sexuality is straight, and fantasizes about doing the dirty with women, but because of his past and powers it is hard for him to ever get that close to someone, especially sexually. This means he may be a virgin for a pretty long time. It's a mystery, but for some reason as arrogant and stubborn Jared is, he seems to have a soft spot for the opposite sex, the pretty ones. When it comes to them, he is... nice. He also lacks the ability to flirt properly. If he tries to, he would just end up embarrassing himself.
History: Jared Corbo was born in the eastern Ontario town of Orloo,in Canada. Right after birth his father carelessly sent him away to be put up for adoption at the Hull House Orphanage. The Hull House was actually a facility in Orloo, operated by the Canadian government's secretive Department H. Angelo Unuscione wasn’t a loving and caring father at all, he was a criminal, and it was because of his evil doings he couldn’t raise a family. Shortly after he had a daughter, Carmella Unuscione, who he didn’t even bother to dump into an orphanage, and just left her in the streets to die. Her powers immediately surfaced at birth and saved her life. Later on she was to be found by Magneto. Then Adrian Corbo was born, he was born of the same mother as Jared, but different fathers. He was dumped in the orphanage where Jared was.
They both were raised there, and were cared for. They discovered they were brothers at an early age and shared a strong loving bond with one another. They both didn’t have any friends, they only had each other. While Adrian became shy, reserved and bookish, Jared became athletically inclined, aggressive, and arrogant. The orphanage was decent. They supplied the children food, clothes, and little education for the children. As they got older, the orphans began to become full of anger and rage. Living in an orphanage since birth does that to some, and began to bully one another. The innocent and shy Adrian was one of their main targets. Jared stuck up for him, every single time, proving the fact they were really close brothers.
After Jared had gone through puberty, around the age of 14, he woke up one morning and began suffering from severe headaches. He didn’t know what was wrong with him, he hide the fact he was in pain because he always had to be tough in front of everyone. Crying over a headache, would ruin his manly reputation. That day Adrian was being picked on again, this time more physically than verbally. The bully even had a knife in his hand. The insecure bully charged at him with the knife. Jared’s body began to emit a soft glow around his body as he stepped in front of the knife. When the bully came in contact with him, his arm backlashed and the concussive force was enough to hurl him back into a wall, hitting his head hard. The X-gene in Jared had just been activated, and his mutation manifested.
The bully who attacked Jared with the knife ended up in the hospital with a broken arm and a mild concussion. Jared was amazed and a spark of happiness and amazement ran through his body at that moment. He realized he was a mutant, he knew about their existence by watching TV. While the others feared mutants, Jared and Adrian always hoped and wished they were one. They wanted to be different; they wanted something out of the ordinary to happen to them. The Hull House was a dull boring place, nothing interesting ever happens. They both wanted a better life away from the small town of Orloo, where they were being locked up. They desired to be free, now Jared finally had the chance to be free.
Adrian and Jared were punished for harming another student, and were shunned away from everyone else, in a small prison-like detention room on the top floor. Here is where Jared learned to understand his abilities on his own. After a while Adrian began to feel jealous. At one point Adrian got so stressed and was sick of being locked up, his arms transformed into razor-sharp organic metal blades; and sawed his way through the cell bars with ease. When his adrenaline soothed over, he was filled with joy. Now they were both special and bad to the bone. They felt superior, and Adrian at that point began to get over his shyness.
Right after Adrian’s powers manifested there was an accident with a nearby Cosmic Ray Collector, which completely bathed the town in cosmic rays of energy. The ones who were mostly affected were the orphans in the Hull House. Then all the ones affected by the rays began to manifest superhuman powers. When Department H heard about this they decided to use the Hull House as a recruitment centre, where they trained these superhuman beings to control their powers and fight in combat, so when they are older, they will be able to aid Department H in missions. The orphans who reached the age of consent were “adopted” by the agency.
Jared and Adrian were trained for a whole year and he’d received the codename of Radius, and his brother was known as Flex. Jared had reached the age of consent with a hand full of others, not including Adrian since he was one year younger, and were about to be adopted. Jared didn’t want to be separated from his brother, and refused, but Department H was going to take them if they wanted to or not.
He and his brother then attempted to escape by combining their powers, but miserably failed. Adrian was captured on the intense fight out. The both of them were no match for all of the agents, because of their lack of experience. However Jared still had a chance to exit the building. If he was to go back to save his brother, he would be captured as well. He made a difficult dicsion which left him heartbroken, but he went through with it. He used his power to escape successfully into the streets of Canada, without a trace. He still regrets leaving his brother back there; he could only hope they would be reunited again.
Jared continued to think of returning to the agency to be with Adrian, but he didn’t want to be there, like an experiment, he wanted to be free. He was now a loner in Canada on the run. He had to use his powers to survive. He started to become a criminal, just like his father, but he had no choice. He didn’t like stealing, harming people, and committing other crimes. But it was the only way for a 16 year old to survive, without any food, clothes, shelter, identification, or anything.
Making his way down to the good old United States, he heard about an institute for the gifted; for people like him. Now he finally had a destination. He was 16 year old loner, making his way to Xavier’s, as fast as he can. He eventually reaches the Institute and he is welcomed with open arms.

Skills:
- Photographic Memory - A quality most people do not have is photographic memory. If Jared sees something and studies it for a few seconds, the image gets imprinted into his brain and at will he can pull the image from his head and visualize it. This skill enables Jared to pick up on learning a whole lot faster than most people. Because of this, he is a very intelligent teenage boy.
- Hand-to-hand Combat – With the aid of Jared’s photographic memory to mimic fighting techniques of others, Jared is an exceptionally well fighter. He has been previously trained in fighting at the Hull House when he was young so he would be ready to aid Department H when he was older. And now being with the X-Men he’s picking up on some new fighting techniques.
- Athletically Inclined - He hasn’t played any actually sports until he enrolled in Xavier’s Institute, but he is picking up on all of it at a speeding rate. Basketball, tennis, soccer, baseball, you name it, Jared can do exceptionally well at it, by a few days of intense practicing. His mind and body is just physically built for sports.

Sample Post:
Finally. Jared Corbo, the teenage runaway orphan, had done it. He had completed his adventure and had reached his destination. His big brown eyes widened as he saw the magnificent site. It was Xavier’s Institute; The place where mutants were accepted. He wanted this to be his home; he was sick and tired of being alone every day for months. He wanted a family and friends to care for him; he felt that Xavier's was the place that would give him the love he needed.
He wore casual attire; a plain white t-shirt, with a black hooded sweatshirt over it, and wore a pair of blue jeans, with white sneakers with the distinctive 'adidas' logo on it. The clothes he wore today were completely rich and extravagant, compared to the defiled and impaired clothes he was given back at the orphanage. However, to acquire this wardrobe he had to steal on his long and dreadful journey. The loud voice inside his head was pissed at him for committing a number of crimes, but he had no choice, so he ignored his consciousness, and narrowed it down to a mellow murmur.
Light drops of snow fell gently from the night sky. The snowflakes that collided with Jared, simply deflected off of the brown-haired boy's own personal force-field which was wrapped around him, permanently emitting a soft white glow. A wide smile came across his face and he felt an emotion, he had not felt in awhile, happiness. He closed his eyes maintaining his smile, just taking slow breathes in and out. His heart pounded fast as his body was filled with intense excitement. His mind drifted away in memories of all the things he’s encountered on his adventure, surviving alone for months, all the hard work and determination it required to come from Canada, and cross that border to the United States, and travel to New York. But in the end it all paid off.
This was going to be worth it. Jared just had a good feeling about this enrolling in this school. If only Adrian, his brother, could see this. Just thinking about his name caused Jared’s emotions quickly saddened him. Water filled his eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks. The flashback of Jared leaving his brother all alone in that Hull House orphanage just bombarded his mind. Feelings of intense guilt began to fill his body. Jared’s eyes slowly opened, and he gazed at the amazing mansion which stood right in front of him.
It was worth it, Jared kept telling himself. It was worth it! If I went back for Adrian I wouldn’t be here right now. Adrian, oh god, I hope your okay and that you forgive me, I had to go, either way we would’ve been separated. Jared could only hope they would be reunited eventually. He had to get over himself and become tough again, no more baby stuff.
He began to think about the good things in coming here. He moved his arm over his eyes, wiping away his tears. He had to put on a good first impression, or else maybe the Institute wouldn’t want him. He pushed the thoughts of Adrian to the back of his head, and put on a slight smile. He began to move himself passed the open gates of the institute and enter onto the grounds. He walked up to the entrance doors of the mansion. His heart pounding fast, he pushed the door with his hands.
As he emerged into the mansion, he yelled out, “Hello!?” he continued, “Is anyone here!?” He raised an eyebrow, waiting for someone to respond to him.
