Powers: Being a Skrull, he is capable of changing and warping his physical form. He is able to transform into different people and creatures at will as well as move organs around in his body. He is able to increase his mass or reduce it to take on larger and smaller forms as well. He has naturally reptilian skin, it is cool to the touch and feels smooth like a snake's skin when in his natural form. He has poor eyesight for details, like most skrulls. He is also able to morph just parts of his body, giving himself for instance a bear's arm or growing a tail or wings. When in another form he is able to mimic their voice but none of their other mannerisms, abilities, nor memories.
Power Limitations: His eyesight is poor for intricate details, he is unable to see the difference between well done paintings versus a picture for instance. Nor can he tell close details of items and has trouble reading small print or viewing small items. He doesn't gain powers of anyone he morphs into, nor does he gain their skills or knowledge, he takes on appearance only. When he gets bigger from a morph he doesn't change strength at all, he maintains his same level of strength in all forms. He can only change into living organic items, such as a person or animal, he can not take on the forms of anything non-living/non-organic such as a boat, car, building, gun, etc.
His ability to grow in size and shrink is limited. He couldn't become for instance a snake that went on forever or an alien life form the size of Trump Tower, he is limited to going as small as say a mouse and about as big as an elephant. He is not able to heal faster then others, but he can move and rearrange the size and shape of his organs at will as part of his malleable structure. When morphed his scent does not change, neither do his mental patterns. A psychic or someone with enhanced sense who knew him, would know right away he wasn't who he had morphed into at the time. He instantly loses his morphed form if he is knocked unconscious for any reason, including falling asleep. Whenever he is asleep he is in his natural Skrull form.
Hobbies and Interests: He loves to laugh. He doesn't care if its from a prank or just from doing a really stupid joke. He is into campy and slapstic humor. He likes vulgar humor as well, he is always going to see and he often quotes comedians. Outside of humor he loves to watch movies. He is really a very lazy individual, much of his actual physique due to the fact he can morph how he wants to look. He also loves the color purple, it is a deep love, most of his shirts and the walls in his room are all a dark purple color. He also loves bad soap opera type shows, such as One Tree Hill or the Young and the Restless. He watches them religiously.
Background:
P'rsstn was raised on a Skrull world that was part of the Skrull empire. He had a fun upbringing, his mother had lived on Earth for some time as a partner of the superheroine, She-Hulk. Growing up P'rsstn heard many tales of the Avengers and X-Men, he adored each one and would often pretend hewas one in his room or in the yard with his friends, though this pretending went father then most kids since the Skrull children were able to look like the X-Men thanks to their changing abilities. He loved his life on Lyjal 3, it was a moon of Lyjal - the new Skrull homeworld after Annihilus decimated the empire with his Annihilation wave. P'rsstn lived under the rule of DorrekVIII aka Hulkling, the current Emperor of the Skrull Empire. When the Brood invaded Lyjal, P'rsstn and his family were evacuated, contacting her old friend Jazinda secured a place for them on Earth, She-Hulk helping to arrange them as formal immigrants to the United States of America. P'rsstn was only eleven when they moved to Earth. He had to learn quickly to maintain a human form at all times, Jazinda knew mutants were accepted but an entire family of green people would draw attention and she wanted her kids to have a normal life. P'rsstn wasgiven a new name, Preston Alberic. As Preston he went to a public junior high school but it drove him crazy having to pretend he wasn't a Skrull, he had no issue with his identity at all. At times he and his sister would morph into each other and attend each others classes to mess with their teachers and classmates. It was Preston's favorite joke. He watched the news all the time, loving seeing the X-Men and X-Corps. His mother made him pick one sex in school and life, he could only be Preston, the boy he had created, she couldn't have him showing up to school as a woman at some point. He was upset and saddened when the X-Corps were disbanded, the X-Corps across the worlds being his favorite superheroes and having planned on joining them someday. Eventually Preston grew to enjoy himself in school and he made friends, he became good friends with a girl named Tray who was a mutant, he revealed his alien heritage to her and the two briefly dated. It wasn't a very serious relationship, more of a hand holding and hanging out after school kind of thing. But, Preston loved it, he especially got a kick out of Tray trying to speak Skrull, which she was rather horrible at, but it was really cute that she was trying so hard. Preston had a mostly uneventful life on Earth, but he was very much homesick for his home planet, well moon. He was starting to feel as if Earth might be a second home for him though, he was beginning to love it here. The family all lived in Miami, FL. The first time Preston had an issue with Earth was when he heard about a girl getting picked on at his school for being a lesbian, it didn't make any sense to Preston, that kind of thing just wasn't an issue in Skrull culture, mostly because gender was essentially a non-issue as was sexual acts, the act of sex being seen as just something else they did, nothing to stress about in life. Preston came to her defense and to his shock he was berated for it, called gay and told he was a dyke lover. Preston lost his temper and transformed himself into the Juggernaut to scare the crap out of his fellow students. Having once met Cain Marko when his mother took them to meet She-Hulk in London, UK.
Word spread fast that Preston was a mutant and people began shunning him, Tray stood by his side and eventually the two formed a mutant-human alliance at their school. Preston was sad that year when Tray moved, leaving for Palm Springs. It wasn't far, but when you're in Junior High, the distance seemed more then enough. The two broke up and Preston moved on with his life. He wanted to just be himself though his Mom still thought it was a bad idea for them to bring themselves out in the open as Skrulls since they had once invaded Earth at the height of the Empire when his Mom was just a kid, which seemed like ancient history to Preston, but his Mom explained that Skrulls in general weren't well received or welcomed on a lot of others planets, that people viewed them as possible threats and invaders. When he heard about the new school opening for mutants he begged his Mom to let him go, she was a bit skeptical at first, but after meeting with Headmistress Jaspers and working out the logistics she agreed to let Preston go to the school. Preston was packed up and sent as a Freshman in High School to the Grey Institute for Higher Learning. He finished his first semester without much incident, though he found himself constantly in Aisha's office being scolded or told what he had done wrong, having gotten himself a reputation as a prankster. He loved it though and was happy to finally be at a school where people didn't bat an eye at him walking down the hallway green. His time home for the holiday break was amazing, but he is excited to get back to school and back to where he can just be himself all the time. The next semester was a big time for Preston, he met his a guy named Josh and the two quickly became best friends, doing a lot together. Though this didn't mean Preston got along with everyone, despite being extremely social and forming a clique of sorts, he ended up becoming some sort of enemy with a boy named Blair. The two constantly fought and got detention on multiple occasions for it. Eventually leading to forced mediation counseling for them, to get them to stop fighting each other.
In the end the thing that brought them together was Blair working with SHIELD to locate Preston and Josh when the two boys were kidnapped by Dr. Roekel and his Imperfects. Preston was held for a long time in a cage, unable to morph and feeling so stuck in one form. He went a little bit crazy, but the X-Men rescued him and he went back to the school. He eventually decided to help Josh cope with what happened, by the two of them going out to fight small crimes such as muggings and gas station hold ups, it was dangerous and definitely against the rules. When the semester ended, he went home for the summer.
Personality: He is extremely jokey, he is usually making some sort of bad joke or trying to get a good smile off of someone. He likes to spend time with people and is a total social butterfly. He loves to hit on people as well, he is a constant flirt. His is hardly ever seen without a smile on his face, he just is always trying to keep things upbeat. He finds the silver lining of most situations. He is often a little bit spaced out, a bit of a daydreamer, his head is figuratively in the stars.
Special Notes: Being a Skrull, his gender is not situated or stuck in one form. He is able to and will assume both genders. He tends to worry very little about his actual sex, while he views himself as a male, he is not hung up on gender ideals nor is sexuality an issue for him. He views all sexes equally in all fashions. He will often take on a female form as well as a male form as the mood suits him, as the skrull Xavin stated, "...for us (Skrull), just changing our gender is no different than changing our hair color." He is usually seen appearing as a human male, he has created a form he considers as himself. When in this male form his playby is Josh Hutcherson and his female form is Emma Roberts, he does prefer his male form. Because his mother made him choose one form for the last few years, he will generally be seen in his male form.
