Extrovert/Introvert: Extrovert Background Brief Personal History: He was born the only child of Jakob and Edie Lensherr, one of Manhattan's most prominent families. His father, a dreamer and idealist, truly believed that one man could change the world. To that end, the family donated millions and raised even more for humanitarian causes all around the globe. It was routine for the Lensherrs to entertain politicians, and for his father to debate the world's problems late into the evening with his guests. By 2002, Erik had a destiny. Jakob Lensherr was diagnosed with lung cancer that year, and mortality loomed like a shadow in his mind. The good work he did had to continue, and for that he needed his son. To that end, the boy was groomed from then on to follow in his father's footsteps. No expense was spared, and Erik was accustomed to meeting world leaders and to the private tutors that allowed him to travel with his father on his work. In a perfect world, Erik may have fulfilled his father's plans for him. Solve world hunger, negotiate a lasting peace in the Middle East, or rid the planet of hatred. Alas, none of that was to be, because the dream ended on December 20th of 2005. The perfect night, that's what it was supposed to be, the Lensherrs were in Jerusalem for the signing of a ground-breaking peace treaty between the Palestinian Authority and Israel. It was 7:32 pm. The family had just finished dinner with the Prime Minister and were being escorted to their car when the shooting started. Erik trailed his parents by ten paces at most and despite the chaos following the first gunshots, the confused look on his mother's face as she fell in a heap at his feet is forever burned into his memory. Jakob fell next, and blood from the exit wounds splattered across young Erik's face as he watched his father die. What happened next changed him as much as his parents deaths would. A deep rage built within the young Lensherr, and mere seconds after his parents fell, it was released. It started with a sharp pain at the base of his skull, and then a moment of exhilaration before the world went dark. Erik blacked out, but those closest to him weren't so fortunate. Those within a hundred feet died instantly, and the massive electromagnetic explosion disrupted all electronics for miles around. His own watch was frozen on the exact minute he first used his power, 7:32 pm. Conventional wisdom at the time led the world to believe that terrorists had detonated a small nuclear device, but there was no radiation and no one could explain how Erik survived the blast. Needless to say, the peace treaty that Jakob had helped forge was scrapped, and the region returned to an endless circle of violence. Erik was hospitalized for three days while tests were run to make sure he wasn't irradiated, but he was found to be in perfect health. Due to his age, he spoke with a psychiatrist multiple times while in the hospital, and despite a belief that he had caused the explosion Erik refused to speak about any of it. It was only natural the psychiatrist said, shock and all that. Truth be told, Erik had already changed, a barely controllable anger was taking root in the young boy and it took all of his self-control not to lash out at anyone and everyone near him. His parents had only wanted to help people, and they had been repaid with their blood on their only son's face. His father was wrong, the world didn't deserve saving. A week after his parents deaths, he was sent to live with his uncle, Piotr, in Albany, New York. He spent three years with his uncle, and to his credit, Piotr tried his best to make his nephew feel at home. Erik discovered his powers shortly after he arrived, and the anger he felt over his parents deaths fueled his desire to master those powers. In Albany, he attended a private school and his time there was troubled. Incidents of drinking, fighting, smoking, and stranger things followed the young Lensherr. The administration at Ivy Hills Academy was fed up with the young man, and over half of his classmates were afraid of him. On the verge of expulsion, a letter arrived which invited Erik to attend a new school, and to his uncle this was a boon from heaven. It wasn't long before Erik was packed and shipped off to Xavier's.
