History

Originally from Australia, Xadrian was raised largely by an expensive nanny once his parents split shortly after he was born. His mother was a psychotherapist who believed firmly in laissez faire parenting, and his father…had better things to do. Long story short, by the time Xade hit his preteen years, he was seeing a psychotherapist of his own. Shoddy efforts to get attention from his classmates and teachers took the form of disturbing drawings, scuffles in the schoolyard, and petty theft.

The latter two habits would follow him well after he shed therapy by telling the man what he thought he wanted to hear. Quiet and standoffish through high school, he spent a lot of his free time becoming familiar with a criminal skill set that would appall his mother, and was even caught attempting to steal a car out of the school parking lot shortly before graduation. The charge was plead down, and he escaped with several months of probation while he settled in to live in his mother's largely unoccupied home.

Despite assurances that he'd turned his life around and cleaned up his act, three years later, he was arrested and charged with burglary and aggravated assault after a security guard caught him in the act. He was found guilty of burglary and spent half a year in prison, where he first discovered his ability to see through walls — and most everything else.

Somewhat more adept after his release six months later, he returned home only to be sent off with a wad of money and a "don't come back" from his doting mother. Rather than linger in Australia, Xade decided it would be more interesting to make use of his newfound abilities in the famous New York City — and that's precisely what he did. Twelve years later, he's still there, and still living largely off the money he makes via his criminal activities, though he does occasionally invest in the stock market or work odd jobs to keep up an appearance of semi-normalcy.

Abilities

Xade has the basic equivalent of X-Ray vision. Kind of like how people used to believe that the eyes produced the light they see by, his eyes emit radiation that they then translate into moving bluish-black and white images.

The degree to which he can see through things is controlled through the eye's focus, and presumably the intensity of the radiation he's putting off. He can stop short at seeing through a person's clothes, or he can strip them down to walking sacks of organs or skeletons. He can see through walls with relative ease, but the more that there is going on in a given area, the harder it is to focus on something specific. That is, while spying on activity the room next door is relatively simple for him, trying to look through one room all the way into the next would be provide him with little more than a confusing jumble, if he could make out anything in the second room at all.

When using this ability, his eyes are not impacted by visible light. He can still see with perfect clarity when blindfolded or in pitch black darkness, and would not notice if someone were to shine a bright light in his eyes. His pupils expand and contract in tandem with his level of focus, rather than reacting to visible light (unless the ability is inactive, in which case they react normally) which has the potential to give the wrong impression, should someone be paying attention and notice that he looks completely drugged out or even blind because his pupils are dilated and apparently unfocused in a well-lit room.

As a side effect, the irises around his eyes put off a pale blue glow that is an exaggerated form of the same glow that has been described in experiments using intense concentrations of x-rays. In daylight it is difficult to detect save for the fact that it washes some of the natural color out of his eyes, but in dim or dark lighting conditions, it is much more notable.

He uses this power for everything from cracking safes to picking locks to checking residences for people that might get in the way of any theft that he is about to attempt. It comes in handy!
