I'M PART OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. ____________________ redford willoughby darcy was born to very quiet parents in 1859. being a quiet baby himself, it never bothered him. he always thought it was how people were supposed to be. apparently, his parents childhoods had been the same, for redford was always being taught how to be better. etiquette and chivalry. sit up straight, enunciate, hold the door open for women, do as you are told, quiet indoors, etc etc. he was treated as though he was being trained for royalty in shakespearian times when he was just a poor victorian fellow. feeling that he was not learning as well as they wanted, his parents had another child. a daughter. redford was seven at the time and found responsibility for helping raise his sister. his parents were wrong about trying to teach her what they couldn't teach redford. she was a free spirit and did what she pleased. he had been home schooled and she had been changed to public. after seeing her jump around and have a multitude of friends who adored her, he wanted the same but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. his sister hated him at first, like all girls tend to hate boys, but no matter how hard she pushed him, he would tell her that he was always there for her and would protect her from anyone even though he was quite the pansy. after she grew and became more mature, she started to grow out of her phase and talk to redford. she helped teach him what home schooling could not. he could now speak what he had to say to people in order to get by. redford loves his sister dearly and still stands by what he has said to her in that he would protect her. at a very young age, redford found that he could heal a living, breathing being and also calm that very being into letting him touch them. a wounded dog that had been hit by the wheels of a carriage lay on the side of the road, whimpering and waiting to die, but an innocent boy approached the canine with wide eyes that were very puppy-like of their own. the dog growled and redford wished he would calm down and to his surprise, the dog ceased his growling and simply stared at him with steady breaths. redford approached and touched the animal to better examine the dog's wounds and instead of being scarred for life at the sight of a dog dying in front of him, the animal healed and simply rose to his feet to walk away as though it never happened. and redford, being a young child, needed to attempt these things multiple times much like a child sees someone else do a trick and they must do the same, no matter if it is attempting to make their own flying machine and breaking a leg in the process. he healed everything he came across, always wishing them calm before he approached. one day, while redford was crossing the train tracks, his foot felt something odd beneath it. his shoe had broken clear in half and he stood on a bent nail, his foot unharmed. that is when he realized he could jump from anywhere and live, but he was quite afraid of heights so that never happened. he was still quite careful even though his abilities made it so he could be as reckless as he chose to be. it was his parents raising him the way they did that got him in. when redford turned twenty five, his aging process stopped, but he was unaware. the people around him only started to notice. he heard more often as years went by that "you haven't changed a bit". when he turned forty and found a picture of him to be the same of that as twenty five, he realized something must be wrong. another five years passed and he gave up trying to figure out if his suspicions were true and left his aging family and friends behind. once he turned sixty, he was pulled into a deep depression, wondering what was the matter with him. the healing and invulnerability were things that were simply tricks, right? the anti-aging was something else entirely to him. that was when he knew that something was wrong. he retreated further away from himself until he found a group that had similar abilities as he. since he found them, he has pulled himself out of his depression and began teaching history of the victorian sense at the university. his students only suspect him to be seriously into his studies and not from the actual time period he teaches about. he shows up to class with at least one article of clothing from his time every day and he refuses to lose his manners and chivalry. he is a classic movie, shakespeare, and good romance novel enthusiast. he’ll stay at home all day and watch casablanca or read books until real life looks like text on a page. redford is very smart about his victorian history given the fact that he was born in that era. he'll ramble on and on excitedly about anything that took place then. unless he's talking about the classic movies which was basically the only more "recent" hobby he partakes in. he's a real sweetheart, chivalry coming naturally to him. he enjoys the outdoors, walking and running almost every morning when no one else is awake. redford doesn't much speak unless spoken to, and when spoken to, he only indulges in pleasant small talk. if anything gets more than that, he tenses up and has issues talking further, but he will be able to if prodded enough. he enjoys blending into the background of certain things, being the last one in and out a door. he's always letting people walk all over him, no matter how impervious he may be. he's quite frail in the emotional sense. he's always striving to be good enough for people and he thinks that slinking into the background is the best way to do that. there are some people that enjoy it without saying so, but those are the ones that are conceited and self centered themselves and only use redford for simply being able to say they have a friend, but redford doesn't mind them in the slightest. he is actually quite open minded and will be kind to anyone who approaches him, no matter if they threaten him or his friends. he will try to sway them with peaceful chatter even without using his empathetic gift. being apart of the equality x makes him a valuable member as he can heal those who have been harmed in riots, human or mutant alike. he doesn't like seeing anyone hurt, enemy, friend, neutral. they all deserve to be healed in his eyes. there has been more than one instance where someone has turned on him the second they were healed, obviously not gracious to him at all for potentially saving their lives or the use of a limb. he holds no grudges against them, but he is also thankful that he can not be harmed by those who turn against his selfless acts. redford looks to the good of the world no matter how much bad is around him at a time. he can pick out a ray of sun in an otherwise dim sky. |
