Character information.
• Character name: Fantomex, Jean-Phillipe, Charlie Cluster-7, "Frenchie"
• Canon: Marvel 616
• Canon point: Uncanny X-Force Vol 1, #27
• Age: Late 20s (appearance) 5 yrs (actual)
• Canon background: Here - Up to "Final Execution"

• Abilities:
Fantomex is an artificially-evolved mutant and has multiple brains that allow him to perform parallel processes, has nano-active blood, and has a symbiotic relationship with a techno-organic, semi-sentient organism called E.V.A. that manifests as his primary nervous system.

E.V.A.: A machine-level conscious techno-organism that manifests as Fantomex’s primary nervous system. He can remove her, and in this form she can become a flying saucer that can be large enough to admit passengers. In this form, she also has a medical bay. She can also be small enough for him to ride, and can general electromagnetic blasts for self defense. Fantomex is telepathically linked to her, so if she’s damaged or otherwise effected, he feels it too. He can take remote control of E.V.A. and see through here “eyes”, but it takes a lot of concentration and leaves him vulnerable. In the same vein, when they’re separated, since she’s his nervous system, he doesn’t feel any pain.

Secondary nervous system: Can be activated when detached from E.V.A. Has limited functionality and only allows him to see in black and white.

Misdirection: His mutation is a sort of manipulation of the psyche that can also include limited illusions. A lot like jedi mind-tricks, he can make someone believe they’re in love with someone they’re not (like making the Horseman War believe he was in love with Betsy), or make someone believe he and others are people they aren’t (like disguising himself and Betsy as Merlyn and Roma to confuse the Jamie the evil goat demon). He can also make people believe he’s in a location he isn’t, allowing them to dismember an illusion while he remains at a safe distance nearby.

He can enter a trance-like state to heal himself and can even perform self-surgery in this state (like removing bullets).

He’s an expert marksman, even when not using bullets that never miss.
He’s an expert at reading body-language, which allows him to tell pretty accurately when someone’s hiding something, and how to best use misdirection on them.

• Strengths:

• Flippant and manipulative: Fantomex's first approach to any situation, serious or otherwise, is flippancy. He doesn't do it out of any sort of need to diffuse a situation, though he has been known to use it in such a way. He also doesn't shy away from using his powers of manipulation and illusion to alter the outcome of a situation in his favor or to serve his own ends. He is a thief, after all.
  
• Analytical and practical: Due in part to his upbringing, his design, and his possessing of three brains to provide for parallel processing, Fantomex is capable of analyzing situations objectively and making practical, objective decisions based on his observations. This including performing actions necessary to achieve and end, even if those decisions violate his own moral compass. This little fact does include killing an innocent child, and also the cloning of him to see if evil is born or created.
  
• Charismatic and adventurous: Originally created to lead a team of 'superheroes', Fantomex is naturally both charismatic and adventurous, charming and cultured in conversation and has a natural affinity for heroics (when the mood strikes him). He also enjoys a good jaunt into unknown territory and taking things that don't belong to him. The latter is due in part to a childhood love of the famous thief anti-hero character from French comics, Phantomas, who's persona and livelihood Fantomex adopted in his own professional life.

• Weaknesses:

• Crass and judgmental: While usually more given to flippancy, Fantomex also never shies away from expressing his opinions, regardless of how controversial they may be, or how many hackles they may raise. In fact, there are times in which he expresses those opinions precisely to raise hackles, or to drive home a point, or even to force someone to reveal what they're actually thinking or feeling, confident that his ability to read body language will give him a form of insight into the others around him, which often puts him at odds with the other members of his team and others he associates with.
  
• Questionable Morals: Already touched upon in Strengths, Fantomex is a thief, a liar. Designed to be a Weapon, he is a capable assassin. His 3rd brain, specifically, was created for this task alone, and Fantomex, the primary persona, will often shift control of their shared body to this brain when less than pleasant actions need to be taken. It was this brain which was responsible for the assassination of the kid Apocalypse, and it was partially out of guilt over his own actions that he cloned the boy and raised him in a loving environment out of a need to know whether evil was born or made, to know whether or not there was any hope for him.
  
• Artificially created: Fantomex's entire persona, from his superhero countenance to his thievery, is a carefully crafted fiction as he was created artificially to fulfill a purpose and has very little personality of his own. He was raised in a virual world, "The World" by a complex AI he only calls "Mother". He's immensely protective of his crafted persona, though, and tents to fall apart when it's called into question. While he can recover from the pointing out of his "fakeness", it's been used to throw him off more than once.

• Nightmares:

• Loss of Self: The fear of being confronted with your life being a lie
  
• Filth: He's fastidiously clean, and loathes unleanliness (and that can get pretty gross)
  
• Being controlled

OOC PERMISSIONS

• Backtagging - Forever
• Threadhopping - Usually okay but I want to talk about it first?
• Fourthwalling - I'd prefer not, but we can discuss
• Offensive Subjects - I don't have any personal triggers, but let's play it safe. If you felt you needed to come here to see, let's talk about it!

IC PERMISSIONS

• Physical ContactRomance - Again, all for it. Fantomex was programmed to be the center of his universe, though, so...take that with a grain of salt
• Fighting - Go for it! Granted...um...he doesn't fight fair, just saying
• Killing - This is definitely the territory of "let's talk about it"

Fantomex has no personal protections against telepathy HOWEVER he DOES always wear his mask, even when he's taken off everything else, and it contains telepathy-blocking plates, so that would need to be surmounted.
