Powers: {Yes}
{1} {Time Manipulation- Milo is able to Manipulate time by freezing it for a maximum amount of a minute as well as turning the clock back about a few seconds, never anything more than 5 seconds or forward for 5 seconds. It’s a power that drains him mentally, causing fatigue and sometimes him passing out. He usually chooses not to use it in at all unless it is a life or death situation.}
{2} {Reality Warping- Milo can warp reality to a certain degree. He has the power to make things and beings appear differently than how they are, by literally changing reality, or even constructing a new aspect, whether it is an object itself or if it’s probability of an event. Again, this power is also mentally draining so it’s something else that Milo doesn’t do often in large amounts, just enough to defend himself if necessary.}

Personality: { Milo is a pacifist. Even though he has mutant abilities, that doesn’t mean he likes to fight with them. Milo would much rather talk things out and work things out by communicating rather than fist fighting. He believes that everything can be solved with words and that going around looking for a fight is just not something that should be done. Milo is also a calm person, never really having drastic mood swings or getting really angry or having drastic change from positive emotions to negative emotions. He is usually “chill” most of the time.
Milo is a sweet, kind heart-ed person as well as a very down to earth guy. He is never rude to anyone, always trying to do the right thing and be a good person. There are times though where he would be mean to someone if that person is mean to him or his friends and there is just no reasoning with that person. Once someone gets to know Milo, he can be a pretty sarcastic guy. He doesn’t do it to be mean, it’s more out of comedy and trying to be funny than anything else. If there is the slightest chance that a person does get on his bad side, than he will use sarcasm to mock the other person. With his sarcasm, Milo also has sort of an ironic sense of humor. He tends to use that humor to cover up what he is truly feeling or to avoid uncomfortable situations.
Milo is a musical person. He may not really look like the type, but he does play piano and has since he was a little boy. His life doesn’t revolve around music though, as much as he would like it to. When he was in high school, he had made up a few of his own songs. Milo also isn’t the most athletic person around, but he does run cross country or races when he gets the chance to. He also ice skates and plays Hockey.
Milo is a very intelligent young man. He did well throughout his school career and is now in college studying to be a Paleontologist, and is hoping to get his doctorate in that field of study. Milo is also a quick thinker and a fast learner. He is also observant and does fully analyze things before he acts.
Milo can also be a bit reserved. He doesn’t really open himself up to people easily and does have a problem trusting people. Some may say that he is being cautious but to him it goes much deeper than being cautious. Milo can also be a bit paranoid when it comes to him walking down the street alone or being alone in certain areas in general. He has the feeling that with his powers the government is out to get him. Milo is a very determined young man, one who doesn't give up on his goals or what he believes in easily. He can also be very stubborn and sometimes quirky. }
History: { Milo Jonathan Grant was born to Alan and Elizabeth Grant on March 17th. He is the younger brother of Joseph Angelo Grant who is also a mutant. Milo grew up in New York, on the outskirts of the city. His mother is a fashion designer and his father is a doctor, so Milo was well off as a kid when it came to money. Milo grew up in a normal home; his parents very much in love and him and his brother getting along as well as brothers could ever get along. They would fight like normal brothers but Joseph was very protective of his younger brother and sometimes still is.
When Milo was young, at the age of four, his parents had signed him up for piano lessons and he played piano well into his high school years as well as learning how to ice skate and was playing Hockey when he turned 7. He also started taking karate when he turned 9 and by the age of 15, Milo was a black belt and eventually stopped taking lessons because he was moving on with other things.
Milo was bullied a lot throughout his school career. He was the dorky kid that others would make fun of and would be labeled as a nerd, or a geek. He never continued playing Hockey while he was in high school, not joining the high school team or any other Hockey teams in the area. It was another thing that he had just given up, but Milo did start running and joined the cross country team when he was a freshman.
Milo had watched his older brother develop mutant abilities. His brother had become able to manipulate water and Milo was very curious but also felt a little jealous that his older brother, the football star, the very popular guy in school and who seemed to be the favorite of the family had something else that made him more special.
When Milo had turned sixteen, he too developed some mutant abilities. He had accidentally frozen time while he was taking a test in one of his classes. That lasted about 5 seconds of him having a panic attack and passing out. He had gone to the hospital and thought that it was all just some strange dream and that it didn’t really happen. That view changed quickly when Milo had accidentally made a glass of water change into soda (sounds biblical right?). Milo wasn’t able to comprehend what he had just done and figured that he was going through the same thing that his older brother had gone through. After Milo had done that though, he started to feel winded, like he was going to pass out once again.
Joseph had found out about Milo’s secret and thought that it was amazing that his brother had powers too, though Milo and Joseph had very different views on what to do with their powers. The two had started to work on controlling their abilities together, training together and learning their limits together. That didn’t last very long though. Joseph was confronted by Magneto and he decided that was the path that he wanted to take. Joseph had told Milo about Magneto and when Milo had met him, he just received an unsettling vibe and told his brother that he didn’t want to choose the same path. Milo, being a pacifist and not wanting to use his powers at all, just wanted to have a peaceful life. While he was beginning his junior year of high school, Milo was confronted by Charles Xavier and was offered a spot in Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. Milo had accepted the invitation to check out the school and ultimately joined in the end. Once Milo was graduating High School, he was told that he could stay at the institute to continue the training with his powers but in the end, Milo refused. He wanted to be on his own in the world, not wanting to be involved with any issues that the X-Men had with Magneto and the United States Government.
As Milo got accepted into a university and continued on with his life, he didn’t bother to stop Joseph, not wanting to get involved with his brother’s affairs, not wanting anything to do with him. He is studying to become a Paleontologist, while his brother continued to work for Magneto.
Joseph had called to meet up with Milo one night and when he did, Milo agreed to meet up with him. Milo met Joseph and they talked, Joseph wanting Milo to join him in the fight with Magneto, and Milo refused. His brother had attacked him, and Milo did everything he could to calm his brother down and try to work things out. When he couldn’t help his brother with reason, he had used his own abilities, stopping time without passing out for the first time. Milo ran, and was able to get away from his brother without hurting him badly or without getting harmed greatly in return.
Milo continues to go to school in New York City.

RP Sample: { Milo Grant woke up with a jolt, sitting up as fast as he could in a cold sweat in the dorm room of his university. He looked around the darkened room with the city lights and the light from the moon shining in through his window and he had to try to remember where he was, remind himself that he was not where his dream had put him. He couldn't remember if the dream was a night terror or just a nightmare. Whatever it was though, it wasn’t a good dream at all. His breathing was fast, rapid and heavy. He needed to try to slow it down before he passed out or did something worse. Milo was finally able to calm himself down and he had turned, his legs now hanging over the side of his bed and his hands resting to his sides, palms flat on the bed. He pushed himself off the bed and took in a deep breath, now pacing slowly.
Milo was calm now and he returned to the bed and sat back down. He rubbed his face and kept his face covered with his hands for a few moments before he had sat up again. Milo picked his phone up off of the side table by his bed and looked at the clock. It said that it was five in the morning and Milo let out a sigh of frustration. He hated these nights, the nights that he would wake up like that and not be able to fall back asleep. Milo walked over to the door where the light switch was and he flipped it on. He had then walked back over to his desk and pulled the chair out, turning on his computer. He had a paper due in a few day and figured that he would use this time to work on it. After working on the paper for about an hour, Milo had fallen asleep, his face resting on the key board.
--
Milo woke up with another sudden jolt, though not sitting up right away. His eyes had jolted open as his left cheek still rested on the keyboard of his computer. Milo sat up and he looked at the time in the lower left of his computer screen that read eleven o’clock in the morning. He sat up and walked over to the closet that was in his room and pulled out a pair of gray skinny jeans and a black t-shirt. Milo got dressed and he threw a few books into his messenger bag and walked out of his dorm room, making sure that he had grabbed his keys and locked the door behind him. Milo didn’t care if his hair was messy at all. He just went out into public anyway he really felt like.
After walking for some time, Milo ended up in Central Park. He sat down in a nice shaded spot and pulled out one of his biology books and started reading from it. He loved the life he had here, the peaceful one that he had, the quiet one that he had. He wasn’t one to get involved unlike some of the superheroes that were here.
Milo never had that desire. He never had the desire to go out and stop bad things from happening even when he has the powers that he has. It just wasn’t that appealing to the young brunette college student. He didn’t think that the people like the Batman or Ironman were crazy, it was their choice and it wasn’t one that Milo would make himself. He didn’t want to blend in either, knowing about the whole mutant situation going on. He liked that he was different, that he had the abilities he had, but he just didn’t think that using them in that way was right.
Milo looked around the sun lit park and he smiled to himself. There were people walking around, people on jogs, couples holding hands and friends just hanging out, enjoying the lovely day. Yes, today was going to be a good day in Milo’s mind. }
