Sheldon Kirkstein

Name Sheldon Isaac Kirkstein

Position Student


Character Information

Gender Male
Species Mutant
Age 16
Codename Stemcell
Powers And Special Attributes Extreme regenerative abilities. He has the ability to heal his body even to the extent of regeneration of lost limbs. This extends as far as regenerating his entire body if his head is severed and not reattached to his body. While smaller wounds regenerate quickly, regenerating lost limbs takes a while, from days to weeks, depending on how much was lost. This often leaves him crippled for a while. Isaac can still drown or suffocate if underwater or without air for too long, though removal from that environment would stimulate his healing again. Also, there is no real relief from any pain caused by the wounds, at least initially, until regeneration begins.

If live cells are separated from Isaac's body, they have the potential, given the right circumstances, to grow into a clone. His body does not normally shed cells, constantly regenerating them, so he won't just litter the world with clones of himself. If these cells are introduced into another living organism, they will 'reset' themselves to match the host body and offer them a regenerative ability for a period of time, as well.

Personal History Birthday: February 6

Sheldon was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. His father was a diamond merchant, and was killed in a robbery when Sheldon was five, so he never really knew his father. He was raised by an overbearing Jewish mother who ran the family store, and went to Hebrew school in addition to normal public school.

Sheldon was the target of constant bullying for his asthma, skinniness, academic prowess, and stutter. When he hit puberty, he suddenly outgrew the asthma and the need for glasses, his eyesight becoming perfect. Then one day he got beaten severely by a gang passing through the neighborhood. In the ambulance to the hospital, his regenerative abilities kicked in, saving his life. The doctors diagnosed him with the X-gene

Sheldon transferred to the Drake Academy where he now attends as a student. He has no plans to join the team, but occasionally assists them in support rolls like overwatch or hacking. Recently he has, because of his regenerative abilities, become the fucktoy for Mary Ellen Todd, allowing her succubus abilities to feed on him so she won’t accidentally harm her human boyfriend Reihan.
