Being an older brother though has taught him patience, compassion and dedication to people other than himself. He's generous and selfless when he needs to be and doesn't shy away from danger, courageous and perhaps, headstrong. He isn't exactly short-tempered, but he won't hesitate to let you know when he's agitated. He's frank and direct, though his straightforwardness can often come across as simple tactlessness and insensitivity, which is ironic, considering that when he realizes he has offended someone unintentionally, he'll apologize profusely. It's also ironic because the things he's particularly sensitive about, such as his family or some of his not-so-masculine hobbies often either make him angry and frustrated with whoever brought it up and talked about it wrong. Speaking of his hobbies, he's secretive about them. Growing up with a sister and mother to entertain has made him more open than most young boys to activities that most consider abnormal for someone of his gender. No one expects the straight, male, tough-as-nails Lars Morgendorffer to be an avid knitter, baker and ballet dancer. He is, but he isn't shouting it on the rooftops. Somehow a knowledge of his hobbies spread around his old school and he heard plenty of whispered mocking while walking down the hallways. As such, he tries to hide any evidence of interest and contain himself from revealing it when these topics are brought up. biography Lars is the eldest of fraternal twins born to a single woman living in Brooklyn, New York. Their father abandoned the family in the earlier terms of their mother’s pregnancy, and as such, Lars, unlike his sister Laura, bears a cold resentment towards the man and tends to avoid talking about him whenever possible. He and his sister’s childhood was pleasant enough. They weren’t the most well-off, but their mother loved and provided for them as best she could. He was something of a lone-wolf at school, with a handful of acquaintances, but no one he felt comfortable calling a true friend besides his sister. He was solitary only partially by choice, as a lot of his peers were (and still often are) intimidated by his appearance and stern disposition. There was also the incident wherein he found out a trio of boys were bullying his sister and her friend and Lars took it upon himself to teach the trio a very painful, physical lesson. He was suspended of course, but believed it was worth it. One very late night, Lars awoke to screaming, smoke and darkness. It was obvious from the smell of burning wood and shouts of “FIRE!” that the apartment complex his family lived in was coming down. His mother slammed on his bedroom door in an effort to wake him up and break through, but to no avail on the latter goal. When he did finally come to, he found that the smoke that devoured his home didn’t seem to affect him the slightest. He wasn’t choking or coughing, his eyes weren’t even tearing up. He didn’t have time to sit and wonder about this, in fact, he barely noticed it as he rushed to meet his mother in the hallway. There, she told him that Laura was trapped in her bedroom behind a wall of fire. Without hesitation, he began pushing his mother outside to their third floor hallway and convinced her to escape so he could focus on saving his sister. As he approached Laura’s door, the only thing he could think to do was put all of his energy into a running tackle to break it down and hope the flames didn’t catch him along the way. As he ran, the moment he expected to collide with the door, he instead found his body turn into a wispy cloud of smoke and ember. Apparently he could travel through smoke? He didn’t have time to think about his power, however, as he looked to find his sister unconscious on the floor. Picking her into a fireman’s carry, Lars figured he could use his powers to get the two out of the burning building. And he was right. It took a toll on him, but he had managed to save his family in time. There was still the manner of the raging fire though, and it looked like not everyone would make it out alive. Taking another chance on his power, Lars stood in front of the building and managed to absorb all the smoke that permeated through the complex as the fire department did their job of hosing it down. Immediately after, however, he fainted from exhaustion and ended up in a coma for three days. Not long after he woke up the doctor treating him recommended Xavier’s school for the gifted to his mother, and Lars, while reluctant to leave his family behind, agreed to enroll. Since then, and for years now, he’s been living as a diligent mutant-student and hopeful future member of the x-men. POWERS Lars' ability is an offshoot of pyrokinesis known as typhokinesis, which allows him to control, create and redirect smoke and embers. His most potent skill is turning himself into a gaseous, intangible, smoke-like substance and using that form to travel across long distances in short burst. He can shoot concentrated balls of smoke that  basically function as straight-up fireballs, the difference being that they're slightly weaker, and grey in appearance. He can absorb smoke found in the surrounding environment and use it to amplify his own abilities. Finally, his power gives him an extraordinary resistance to fire and heat, although he isn't completely immune to either. On the other hand, water doesn't hurt him so much as dampen his power to a significant degree, leaving him essentially useless until he can at least get his hands dry.
