Joseph Mancini

Character Information
Character Name: Joseph Mancini Age: 24 Occupation: None Known Relatives: Unknown Significant Other: Alexandria Lonsdale, formerly Elle Bishop Current Location: Level 5, Hartsdale, New York Affiliation: Villian Known Ability: Hyalokinesis Biography: Los Angeles born and raised, Joseph was, if anything, that quiet kid which everyone was afraid of for one reason or another. It could have been that he simply sat at the back of class, drawing rather than paying any attention or giving a rat’s ass about what the teacher was saying be it to him directly or not. It could have been that he had no problem in giving someone lip or even breaking theirs when he figured they deserved it. Or maybe it was because he didn’t think twice about somehow spearing a piece of glass through a fellow classmate’s head when he just didn’t agree with something. A move out of juvenile anger, it only happened once. There was only the chance for it happen once, Joseph shipped right off to a juvenile detention center which his teachers would have argued he was on his way there anyway with how much trouble he had managed to get himself in over the years.

Peace didn’t last there long, the center unable to handle someone who was slowly getting a grasp on some extraordinary ability and kept melting the windows on his cell door so he could unlock it or shattering the front window panes on thought alone. The only option they had? Sticking him in solitary confinement, kept on watch by a couple of guards which could stop him should he actually find a way out of that cell. Whatever glass was replaced by plastic, the officers finally catching on after plenty of their windows went missing and a mirror or two was found warped around a fellow prisoner or two, jagged points caging them in. For Joseph, it was all fun and games. At least until they stuck him in that dark hole in the wall.

His parents all the meanwhile, did little to nothing to aid their son, one far too busy taking care of an ailing grandmother and the other probably drunk in front of a television or off picking up some hooker for a good time. It didn’t bother him so much seeing as it wasn’t like he couldn’t survive on his own. And the prison system was providing him with a roof over his head, food in his stomach even if it was the same crap over and over and a good number of people to test out that ability on.

When Joseph became eligible for transfer to an adult penitentiary, there were different plans in motion. Rather than maximum security with the rest of the murders and typical scumbags of the planet, Joseph was sent to the Primatech Research Facility in Hartsdale, locked in a cell with plastic windows and not a glass surface in sight in Level 5. While he thought it would be another cake walk on the way there, he hadn’t expected to be tranquilized which is still a rather sore spot considering the first time they tried to evaluate him in a room with a two-way mirror, he took it out on the psychologist and the guards before another set could stop him. Furthermore, Joseph found his powers blocked by medications he was more or less forced to take: If he didn’t take them himself, intravenous was the way to go.

For six years, he has been cooperative. Or, if not cooperative, they’ve just gotten rid of any chance of finding their agents or staff on glass skewers. Whatever the case, the recent escape of fellow Level 5 prisoner Jackson Stryker hasn’t settled well, Joseph more than intent on getting out if he can find the means to.
