Student: Shunt [Team Phoenix]

Name: Charles Daniel Frazier
Nickname: Shunt
Age: 17
Appearance: 5'8" and skinny with muddy brown eyes, lanky brown hair, pale skin with a bit of acne.
Notable Skills: Computer operations, some programming,
Quirks: Savior of the Human Race, retired; suddenly learning how to navigate social interactions; awkward, but not shy; used to being considered weird; talks casually about all sorts of esoterica.

Shunt came to Saint Vincent's insisting that he was the destined savior of the human race. His powers were all over the place and seemed to be only semi-voluntary: objects would move themselves around, hang in the air, open and close,  and generally just arrange themselves for his convenience. His relationships with his would-be peers suffered from the fact that he expected people to accept his assertions, and that he never slept. 

Then the invasion came and he turned it aside with the help of his roommate, and his powers changed in the space of an hour. He found a way to carry them back to the school from halfway across the world, then climbed into bed and collapsed. 

Now he's trying to adjust to sleeping on a regular schedule, dreaming of the invaders that he redirected to Jupiter's moons, and coming to terms with his powers being something that requires a lot more of his direct attention and focus. He's reaching out to the less human-seeming Anomalies at the school, and one of his former roommates has recommended him as a possible new member for Team Phoenix. For all that he looks normal, Charles still identifies with the ones who are outsiders even at this school.
