Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Probability Calculation - The ability to see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome. This is a form of precognition. In his eyes he sees a path, and that path will diverge with every possible choice, his brain then calculates which the most likely path to happen is. His mind is like a super computer, always working out the best possible outcome to a situation. He can also see the possibilities of changing outcomes, and try and sway it to his situation.
This power can help him when in battle, he can usually know the fighters next move, it can also help him in conversations, sometimes he will answer questions before the person has even asked him the question
Limits-
The future is not set in stone, people make their own choices, X can only direct people in certain way, whether they choose it or not is another matter entirely.
'Knowing the future' can sometimes hurt him; he knows when most things and how they will happen, and he knows that he can’t always stop the inevitable from happening.
X can calculate the future indefinately, but he rarely does. He only calculates the higher probability of one outcome. This is because of the amount of diverges in timelines, he generally tries to only follow one path. It would take him days to calculate every possible outcome.
Appearance-
X is an imposing figure of a man. Tall, built like a brick shithouse and a man who chooses his words wisely. X is a mysterious man, who does his job perfectly and sees it through to the end. He usually wears nondescript suits and trench coats to help him blend into the background. He sometimes wears hats and sunglasses as well.
He’s not a conventionally handsome man, but then again, he’s not looking for any relationships, but he has a presence about him which while in his presence is quite foreboding and intimidating, but at the same time, once out of his presence is quite easily forgettable as he is just kinda your average guy. He is slightly greying, but it looks good on him.

History-
X was an orphan. He was found on the steps of an orphanage. He was taken in and cared for. X carried no resentment; he believed that what happens happens. He lead a fairly normal childhood, getting on with the business of childhood, making friends, making enemies, playing and such things. As he got older, he retreated into the world of knowledge, he wanted to learn more, and knew that making friends wouldn’t help him.
He was an inquisitive child who liked to read, by the time he was 12 he had read quite a number of books and was fairly intelligent for his age. His high school years where that of a ghost, he was just there. He didn’t do anything spectacular there, and didn’t make any lasting impression on his peers.
Once out of high school he joined the army. He served in a war and came back, alive. The army was the place for hi, he was just a number, and he blended into the background. In the army he picked up skills he would later rely upon in his later life. Such as stealth and forward planning. Once he was discharged he wandered America, not sure where his place in the world was.
Then something happened. An Eclipse. Afterwards he had strange intuitions; he was able to 'see' possible futures in his mind. He was always working out what path his decisions would take. He sometimes made the wrong decisions and bad things happened. Other times he made the right decisions and good things happened. He used his power to help mankind, handing out 'missions' to people, to get them in the right place at the right time. He wanted to help the world, but he wanted to do it without any kind of adulation. He wanted to be the guy behind the scenes.
One day a mysterious figure came to him and offered him a chance to make use of his ability. He joined up, knowing that what he was doing, although seeming ‘bad’, was the right thing to do.
Anything else?- Nope
Sample RP-
Another Man Murdered was the headline on the German newspaper. X continued to read the article as he shielded his face from the sun with the newspaper. Sitting on a bench in the park, was one of the more calming things to life. It was a chance to be alone and have sometime to think to yourself.
But X wasn't here to think or read the newspaper, he was there because it was needed, he was on recon. In order to keep his identity unknown, the man wore a trench coat, sunglasses, boulder hat, and gloves. X was very keen on keeping his identity a secret so he went to great lengths at hiding anything that would be recognizable.
He saw what was coming; a man would sit next to him. The lines of probability going crazy in his mind. The man would talk to him; the man would ask him questions. The best thing for him to do for X was to leave, there was a 98% chance that the guy would forget about him, and not even remember him. So that’s what he did. He got up. Walked away, and was quickly forgotten about by the man who had just sat down on the bench.
3,2,1 whispered X, as a bird flew over where he was sitting before and a dollops of bird poo landed on the exact spot where X had been sitting
