Quote: “It’s funnier if you shut the fuck up and let me tell it.” -Biron Bostaligni
Biron doesn’t have a minute to waste on being serious. He says his brother was serious enough for the both of them, and he kicked the bucket pretty early so that shit can’t be good for a person. Biron is a pathological liar with narcissistic tendencies. He thinks he’s the coolest, smartest, most important man alive and he always has to be in the know. Biron loves to screw around, crack jokes, and play games… almost as much as he loves teasing and poking fun at others. He can’t stand being given orders and loves to push the envelope, he keeps his emotions completely hidden and relishes in watching others fall victim to their own emotional outbursts. Although it’s hard to tell, Biron doesn’t have it out for anyone, he just cares about himself significantly more than anybody else on the planet.
Biron grew up on the streets of L.A. and lived with his older brother for most of his life. His parents were petty criminals always in and out of court rooms for hearings over petty infractions and never employed. He and his brother were made to fend for themselves at a young age, and so the life of crime found them in a way. They began practicing the art of pickpocketing and eventually began orchestrating incredibly well thought out acts and cons. They called themselves street performers, but only because words like “theif” and “criminal” reminded them of their parents, and they were better than their parents.
As they got older, their reputation grew and people told wild and mystical stories about the misadventures and heists of the Bostaligni Brothers. They were well known by many city police officers but all their evidence was circumstantial, it would never hold up in court. Biron and his brother thought they were invisible, they lived like kings, feeding off of their own hype. Biron even acquired a very expensive taste in fashion while his brother preferred to accessorize with priceless jewelry. Rumors spread, as per usual, of the brother’s next big heist. But unfortunately, somebody with a loose tongue spoke too much and their heist was thwarted. The brothers were apprehended and each given a light sentence of 4 years in a maximum security prison.
While in prison, the Bostaligni brothers were targeted by a hispanic prison gang. When three of these gang members attempted to jump Biron in the showers is when he discovered his ability of Gargoyle Mimicry. Being startled by the feel of a man grabbing him from behind and pressing a makeshift shiv to his neck caused him to instantly take his gargoyle form which, being a bit larger than his human form, knocked the assailant back. Biron turned around in confusion, not sure what was going on until he caught his reflection in the mirror and studied his new stone body. Biron wasn’t one to get scared or panic, so he adjusted rather quickly and tested his new strength and durability on the gangsters who had made enemies of him.
After word spread among the inmates of a mutant in their prison, no one dared to mess with Biron or his brother. Unfortunately, Biron made the mistake of letting his new dominance go to his head. He ruled the prison with an iron fist (literally) and built up his underground empire. He always extended his benefits and special treatment to his brother, Alec, who was less than pleased with the path his baby brother was heading down. Biron and his brother grew apart considerably over the next two years but Biron was lost in his new world and couldn’t see the clear depression his brother was going through. When Alec was found hanging from his bedsheets, fastened to the middle bar of his cell window… Biron was so shocked he stopped speaking for weeks.
Biron was allowed special leave from prison in order to attend his brother’s funeral. Seeing his mother and father again for the first time in years was more than tense, it was terrible. Upon seeing Biron, his mother slapped him across the face and told him that Alec’s death was his fault. The rage that consumed Biron triggered his gargoyle form and after crushing his parents’ car and throwing Alec’s coffin into its grave, he flew away.
Later he joined up with Alfie, Cecil, and Sonya: a group of mutants much like himself. They had all lost their ways in the world, felt lost and alone, and the stayed together for support and mutual understanding. They weren’t a team of villains or heroes, they just wanted to be safe and live. But the sudden death of Sonya, Alfie’s fraternal twin sister, took a tragic tole on the makeshift family and drove Cecil down a dark path. Biron and Alfie sought help from Jarome and his team in order to overcome Cecil and has been living in the Legacy house ever since.
Biron is able to shift the composition of his body into stone. His stone form is 2.5x the size of his human form and he takes the form of a Gargoyle with large wings, a dinosaur-like tail, and a monstrous face, exerting energy to do so. Although he has wings he is only able to hover above the ground for a few passing moments and uses this to gain height over an opponent. Biron’s stone form is slower than he is but much stronger and yields maximum damage.
Biron is able to “animate” small objects and items by giving them a simple command. To compliment this power, Biron’s hobbies include origami, whittling, and collecting small toys so that he has various object to do simple tasks such as: flipping a switch, holding or carrying an object, pulling a lever or string, or delivering a letter with a message.
Lock-Picking or Pocket-Picking: Biron is a master lock pick and can crack almost any safe, he also able to slip small items from someone’s person such as keys, wallets, watches, and other small jewelry. Having been a thief in his younger years, he hasn’t forgotten his sleight of hand, he’s simply traded in the thieves’ tools for a deck of card and magic tricks.
Knowledge of Organized Crime - Biron’s past sources of income included pedaling hard drugs and dealing in illegal firearms. Having been to prison, Biron has plenty of useful knowledge about how organized crime works and the mentally of an individual involved in this kind of work.
