"Victory is MINE Baldy!
And if you had any hair I'd take that too!"

Hair: Around neck length, so pretty darn short. His hair is pretty much a tuft on top, with a stuck-out fringe, brushed out of his eyes.
Eyes: Gino’s eyes are a mid-deep blue. They are pretty average eyes. Not too expressive and not too narrow.
Height: 6’2
Weight: 153 lbs
Distinguishing Marks: This is etched into the palm of his left hand. It spells out “Indigo” in the runes of the Powers That Be.
A couple of scars on his back.

Appearance:
Gino gives off the air of a refined gentleman, or at least, as close as a man with his interests and lifestyle can get. He has quite a lithe, semi-athletic frame with relatively average size arms and legs. Perfect for running away from any villains, should the need arise. His feet are fairly large, compared to his hands at least, and his head is sort of square-shaped. His shoulders seem to slope down, giving his torso the look of a triangle.

In terms of clothing, when he's not required to wear an embarrasing SHIELD onesie, he takes to wearing loose clothes. Normally, it's a collared shirt, with a cardigan and jeans. On cooler days, this is accompanied by a knee-length coat and a nice wooly Tom-Baker's-Doctor-Who-esque scarf. His costume, or as he likes to call it, his "fighting swag", generally comes looking like this.

"I’m not interested in making new friends,
I don’t even like the ones I have”

Likes:
Toast-It’s his absolute favourite food, especially if it has lots of melted butter on it.

This Ford Mustang- It’s one of his many pride and joys. Or would be, if he actually owned it. Instead, he puts a little on the side every year to save up for it.

Cold Environments-As a native of Minnesota, where it’s cold all the time, Gino is used to lower temperatures, although he’s not against a nice cozy quilt.

Fantasy-One of Gino’s favourite pastimes is reading fantasy books. He likes the worlds they come up with.

Meditation-His favourite calming activity. Especially if there’s calming (or non-calming) music on in the background.

Ice Cream-Especially if it’s chocolate with lots of sprinkles and a flake in it. A guilty pleasure.

Dislikes: (at least five)
Meat-Maybe it’s his life choice as a vegetarian, but he just doesn’t like eating meats or even fish.

Radical Feminism-This isn’t to say he isn’t a feminist, because he is. However, when it’s taken to a more extreme level, he puts his foot down. Supervillains like Superia and Man-Killer really annoy him.

Liars-Anyone who cheats, schemes, and twists the truth to get what they want. It doesn’t help that he’s gullible, so he can’t tell when they’re lying.

Blood-He can’t stand the sight of the stuff. It makes him feel sick.

Religious nutjobs-There’s always something about them that makes him feel sad. Be it the constant waving of holy scripture or threats against him, whenever he encounters one, he walks away feeling a little depressed.

Explaining what he is-He’s not even sure himself, so asking him to explain it is a bit of a challenge.

Personality: To say that Gino is odd would be like saying that Boris Berezovsky enjoyed the occasional small drink. He seems a little bit slow on the uptake. It’s as if his head is still in the clouds that he was born in. He has a tendency to ask questions that lead to the person being asked the question asking questions themselves. Gino is probably the most likely person to pick, if one wanted to annoy another, mostly because of his ability to draw out his sentences to the point of near ridiculousness. He’s a little bit gullible, but he has a heart of gold.

Despite the aforementioned slowness, Gino is capable of some moments of brilliant cleverness, especially in a crisis. He doesn’t really care that much about what others think of him, which is probably why he continues to be weird. He thinks mostly in a strange, twisted logic that leads. He’s kind enough to be able to make friends. There's nothing he enjoys more than a good get-together of his friends for any reason, as long as it's not to shout at each other. He can even be quite charming, if he wanted to be.

"With great power comes great responsibility"

Powers:
Telepathy- AKA the ability to read others' minds, provided the readee doesn't have any kind of mental shielding. He is able to exhibit some degree of control over another's mind, as long as what he tells them to do doesn't go against their own morals.

Telekinesis- Gino is able to lift and move things by exerting the power of his mind. Of course, the size and mass of the object present various difficulty levels for him. Lifting up a pen or a lego man requires little effort. Things like houses or flying ships present much more of a challenge.

Psychometry- Gino is able to detect auras and energy signatures from anywhere within his line of sight, and interpret them. This ability is handy, as it can reveal the location of any visually concealed person. His eyes take on this effect when his psychometry is in use.

Strengths/Abilities:
Gino is capable of some very good intuition skills when it’s called for.

Gino, despite having discovered his abilities relatively late in comparison to some of his comrades, has learned a degree of fine control over them.

Gino has a bit of a way with fixing machines such as computers. As long as it's simple enough, he can probably fix it.

Weaknesses:
Gino's greatest weakness is a mental attack. He doesn't have any mental shielding, so they can be pretty darn devastating to him.

Gino is gullible, so he can be persuaded to do things if an incentive is thrown into the mix.

"All it takes is one bad day to reduce
the sanest man alive to lunacy,"

History:
It was prophesied that the next servant of the Powers That Be would come to the world in the past, as the houses changed. In some sense, that very much reflects the circumstances of Gino’s birth. His mother went into labour on a plane flight. Gino himself was born as the plane passed through time zones, meaning he was technically born the day before he was born, on a day in which the zodiac house changed from Aquarius to Pisces. It certainly caused some interesting debates when it came to the birth certificate. In fact, this led to an in-joke between the Perrys, which stated that Gino was so special, he had two birthdays in the same year.

Gino was raised in Minnesota, far away from anything special. It didn’t really frustrate him. On the contrary, he was quite a peaceful kid, an only child, and didn’t like violence. Though he was raised a good little Christian boy, he didn’t think that it fit him as a person, and so, as a teenager, and after extensive looking into different spiritual beliefs, ended up becoming a new age theorist. It earned him a bit of attention in high school as “the weirdy” or “Devil worshipper” from some more devout teachers. He shrugged off these accusations, either due to actual ignorance or just not caring. He was able to go to college when he was 18, where he met a kindred spirit in the form of Alice, a nice girl from Texas. The two got on like a house on fire, and even became romantically involved with each other. During college, Gino’s dorm was located close to the Radical Feminist Society. This meant he was at the tail end of some mild, but still rather nasty abuse, just because he was male. When he was about to graduate, he saw a Ford Mustang in a car shop. His heart was stolen, and he resolved to buy it once he’d saved up enough, then he and Alice could go for romantic drives in it. Unfortunately, post-graduation, and after Gino majored in English, Alice informed Gino that she was moving to New York, and it was likely they wouldn’t see each other for a while. Though it got Gino down, it didn’t dampen his spirits.

Gino went job-hunting for the next couple of months, until he found an opening in the most ideal of places. His local game shop, as in tabletop games e.g. Dungeons and Dragons, had an opening. Gino managed to get the job out of a couple of other applicants, and settled down in that profession for a year or two. One year, he and his co-worker, Chris, closed shop for a while to take a trip to New York in order to attend a convention. Unfortunately, this coincided with the Chitauri invasion. Chris and Gino were separated, and Chris was held captive in a building, along with many others. Though Chris was saved by the timely intervention of Captain America, Gino found himself unable to cheat death. As he ran for cover, Gino was blown apart by a passing Chitauri vehicle.

But Gino didn’t die. At least, not in the traditional sense. His consciousness waxed and waned with the moon, and for a moment, shone as bright as the stars, and floated in the cosmos, until Gino could see again. He saw a great, lithic being standing over him, features obscured by starlight. It reached out a hand for Gino, and the next thing he knew, he was laying on the streets of New York, among wreckage, with some strange brand on the palm of his hand, and with no idea how he had gotten there. And yet, something burned in his mind. Some new knowledge that he hadn’t seen in life. A mission of sorts. Something to do with a storm on the horizon, and a bulwark of defences against it. The feeling was vague, but it was there. It was that day that Gino discovered his abilities. He had been thinking of what would happen if paper could fly, oblivious of the fact that he had levitated his piece of paper off his desk.

Gino spent the next few months balancing working with Chris, who was overjoyed to learn he had survived in a sense, fending off the local press, who wanted a “first-hand scoop” about the attack from a local boy, and learning about his abilities. Sadly, after the attack, the local economy got a bit rough, and the shop had to close down. Once again, Gino was out job-hunting. Gino thought that getting a job locally wouldn’t be much of a problem. It was difficult. Very difficult. Any jobs he could find, he didn’t have the right qualifications for, or he didn’t like the job at all. One night, after another day unsuccessfully hunting for a job, a G-man came to his door, claiming to work for an organisation called SHIELD, and stating that they had a job for him.
