Mutant Power (if applicable):[/size]
Pierre has the power of probability manipulation. Or, for lack of a better term, he can control his own, to an extent, and other people's luck. By controlling someone's luck it's a physical touch. His left hand makes good luck and his right makes bad luck. The luck is determined by the person. What they deem to be good luck will happen. However the bad luck is almost always death or crippling.
As a side effect he has his own personal probability field as it's described. He's surrounded by a personal field of nothing but good luck. Which means that when it comes to playing cards he's real good. Also should someone fire a low caliber gun at him and he stands still the bullets won't kill him. However should he move he'll move the perfect way to avoid the bullets completely.
Voodoo knowledge: Growing up in the bayou and raised by a houngan grandmother he has a good knowledge of voodoo. This is tarot cards, palm reading, charm creation, hexing, spirit communication. He also knows various symbols and formulas designed to ward off or attract spirits.
Power Limits:[/size]
Probability Manipulation: It works via touch. WHile not skin to skin it can go through clothing. However he has absolutely no control over it. The effect is within 24 hours. What the effect is is determined by the one who was effected.
Probability field: it effects him and him alone and is around him 24 hours. It doesn't matter if someone is right next to him they are not effected by it.
Voodoo: Only major side effect is he is technically haunted and always his spirits following him.
Personality:[/size][/font]
Pierre is without a doubt the best friend you could ever desire. He always looks out for his friends and believes that most people he meet are friends of his. He's a huge, huge flirt. He loves women and won't hide that at all. Which comes back to his lack of a filter. He doesn't really think about what to say he just speaks. He feels that friends should be honest. And if he views everyone as his friend then he should be honest. Even though some don't like it.
He's insanely loyal and do whatever it takes to protect his friends. However he's still a business man which means it takes a lot for him to give away his charms. He's very serious when it comes to his work. Sure the fun and happy Pierre is still there but if you don't believe him be prepared to make a very angry friend. And making him angry can have a very bad side effect.
can't you see we are the same?
Eyes:[/size] left is green right is red
Hair:[/size] Black
Physique:[/size]Boxing his given him a great physique. He's well muscled but not overly so to the point where it's humorous. It's enough to still allow him some mobility. He has various voodoo symbols tattooed on him to protect him and enhance his ability. His clothing is usually just jeans and a T-shirt, nothing fancy. But when working he wears stereotypical voodoo clothing. a Top hat, occasionally face paint, and an odd, almost ratty looking tux. It doesn't do anything but he knows that's what people expect. The only things that are constant is the charm around his neck made by his grandmother and his black leather gloves with metal fibers woven in. The top of the left hand has a green X and the top of the right has a red X.

this war we're fighting is undecided...
History: [/font]
Pierre was born in Devil's Bay, Louisiana. His father had run off before he was even born leaving him to be raised by his mother. But she soon grew sick and died when he was only 5 years old. So he was sent to live with his grandmother, a houngan or voodoo priestess of the area. She raised him and taught him french, which she spoke in the house and also taught him all the voodoo she knew. She home schooled him but he still got out and played with other children. But soon he was picked on because his grandmother was a mutant so she enrolled him in boxing. He was a natural and did it for years. He had a lot to do what with boxing, learning voodoo and his schooling. His grandmother, a mutant with the ability to communicate with spirits gave him everything she could but still kept him down to earth and from being spoiled.
But soon his mutant power manifested. The spirits had alerted his grandmother but it was too late. He got in a fight when he was 15 and delivered a powerful left to a kid's jaw. The kid had been cursed and as he stumbled back an oncoming car hit and killed him. He was cleared of all charges as it was clearly an accident. That and the local police didn't want to get on the bad side of Grandma Esther as everyone called her. He ran home and his grandmother told him about what she'd learned and his abilities. He made sure to be careful but he was a ladies man and keeping his hands to himself was a problem. Several women and some of his friends were in serious accidents or were winning major awards and what not.
His grandmother, after consulting with the spirits knew what to do. She made him special leather gloves with metal fibers to protect people from his powers as they didn't work through metal. She put charms on them and gave them to him. By now his eye colors had changed but most just believed it had to do with voodoo so didn't question it. Everything was pretty normal for him until anti-mutant sentiment began to increase in the area when he was 18. He was cornered by a group of people, one of which had a gun. He opened fire and Pierre moved, avoiding all the bullets. Then he heard his grandmother scream and he snapped. He stripped his right glove and went to work on the men. Punching and cursing them at the same time. He ran to his home only to find it in flames and his grandmother outside, beaten and bloodied. She told him to never forget what he learned and had managed to get a few things out which she gave to him. They were various trinkets and charms and ingredients. He left Devil's Bay and headed to New Orleans to learn more Voodoo.
He used his powers to read fortunes and gain money as well as sell charms and everything. He had just settled into North Carolina and was starting a new life for himself. Then M Day happened but he'd retained his powers, he thinks. He rarely used them so wasn't entirely sure. But after a month or so he could hear the spirits calling out to him and the spirit of his grandmother told him to go New York because he'd be needed. He's been in New York for about a month now and has a small shop when he reads fortunes but also consults with spirits who seem to have been pulled into limbo.

[/center]it's time to make a choice
Role-play Example:
Pierre sat at a table in front of his shop, cigar in his mouth and cards in his hand. He had on his usual dark and almost ratty looking suit. The top hat pulled it all together but he didn't really care for it. But it was all part of the experience and people expected him to look like this. However he didn't have any face paint on today, he found it annoying and itchy, as did his grandmother. The only part of the ensemble that didn't seem to fit were his shiny black leather gloves. However, it was for their own safety. He laid a card down and shook his head at the man across from him.
"Ya wanted an answer mon ami an' I got you an answer. The spirits say don' go buildin' there unless you want real bad juju. The land be hexed, probably from the last owner."
Pierre sat back and puffed his cigar and waited for the man to say something.
[color=red]"Can't you do anything Old Daddy Voodoo?"[/color]
"Oui, Ol' Daddy Voodoo can take care ya. Of course my services don' come cheap."
[color=red]"Yes, no problem. I'll pay whatever you want. But if I don't get that land taken care of I lose my job."[/color]
"Relax mon ami, relax. Ol' Daddy Voodoo will be there in 2 days at midnight. I'll take care of all that bad juju. An' in the mean time..."
He grabbed a charm on a leather string and handed it to the man.
"This'll take care of ya while you're there. Don' want none of the juju followin' ya around. Now let's see. For the charm, the reading an' a deposit on the cleaning that'll be $100."
The man took his check book out and frantically wrote.
"Make it out to Pierre Raleigh."
The man handed him the check, took the charm and got up quickly before running into an awaiting black car that had been idling. Pierre gathered the cards up and set them down in front of him.
"Now who else be wantin' a reading for Ol' Daddy Voodoo?"
