Backstory: Shane's father was put in jail before Shane was born on murder charges that his mother always told him were trumped up. While his mom had been as much a trouble maker as his father she really cleaned up her act when she found out she was pregnant and she worked very hard to provide for Shane.
While they weren't very wealthy they were happy. Shane life was fairly normal except for the visit to see his dad in prison. But that changed when he was sixteen and he got electrocuted by a downed power-line. The incident activated his latent mutant gene saving his life. No long after that he got a message from Xavier's inviting him there to learn to better control his abilities. He has been with the institute ever since.

What do you want to see happen with this character?: Develop as a character and fun x-men stuff.
Sample post:
Shane was driving back to Xavier's from his trip home to visit him mom. This whole mutant thing had freaked her out at first but she had grown to accept that. He was her son and she loved him. Though the whole thing with him nearly dying when his abilities first activating probably had not helped. He still tried to visit her whenever he had the time to do so.
Xavier's had been pretty good to him. They had helped him out a lot with understanding his powers and learning to better control them which he definitely needed with his abilities over electricity. He had accidentally blown up more than a few TVs and computers during those first couple of weeks. But now it took quick a lot for something like that to happen accidentally with his powers.
He had also made a bunch of good friends during his time there even though he had been a bit older than most for being new there and to his abilities. But he had really come to love the place and had stayed to help out there where he could.
