Character name: Santo Vaccarro; "Rockslide"
Series: Marvel Comics; New X-Men
Age: 16 or 17 (not specified in canon)
Canon: It's a new age at Xavier's Institute of Higher Learning. After Magneto's attack on the school following the events of New Mutants, Scott Summers and Emma Frost have taken over as headmasters, teaching the next generation of mutants how to live and defend themselves in the outside world. Despite efforts on behalf of the understaffed faculty, the students manage to get into a lot more trouble than anyone could have predicted. But who could blame them - they just want to be X-Men when they grow up. When most of the student body loses their powers, that dream gets a lot closer to reality for the handful of teenagers left.
Santo Vaccarro was one of these young hopefuls. As the New X-Men's resident "strong guy," he's never been the type for strategy, and he does begrudgingly admit that all he really does is hit stuff while everyone else comes up with a plan. However, Santo is more than just an indestructable wall - he knows how to use his mutation not only to defend his teammates, but to take down his opponents. He has a lot of pride in his accomplishments on the battlefield, and he tends to boast about them whenever he gets the chance, but his closest friends know that it isn't about glory when they're in the middle of a fight. Santo takes it upon himself to protect his team, most likely putting himself in harm's way as a result. But, as any boy his age does, Santo really just likes to sit around with his friends, talk about hot chicks, beat people up, and play video games. His carefree albeit fairly ignorant attitude allows it to make it through the harder days.
*Santo's mutation used to be that his entire body was made of rock, and that he could detach and reattach his limbs. After being reduced to dust by Nimrod, and then again in Limbo, it is speculated that Santo is a psychic being, able to form a physical body out of surrounding rock. Also, he'll be taken from New X-Men #43, after the Children of X-Men story line.
Sample post:
You think you have what it takes to be a X-Man? Come on, dude. I mean, your face is pretty scary and all, but it's no match for mine. I’m the big, scary, tough guy on the team. We don’t need another one of those. Plus, you totally don't have any fight in you, you know? You gotta have a second effort. Me? I came back from the dead. I got totally crushed up by this loser robot named Nimrod, and here I am, bigger and badder than ever. Like-- hey! I said stop trying to eat me - I'm made of rocks, stupid. I’m not exactly edible.
Wait, I'm not finished talking about the X-Men! Did I mention we took down the Devil? I mean, we went to Limbo and took down the actual Devil! I mean, his actual name was something nerdy like Balascus or Balasco or something but he was the Devil.
...whatever, dude. You were a crappy conversationalist anyway. I'll just talk to the giant squid. Or the... other stuff here. Man, do those birds ever shut the hell up?
Isn’t summer camp supposed to be full of hot girls in short shorts or something like that? Where are the chicks? I mean, I guess with a name like “Camp Fuck U Die,” there has to be a few things totally messed up about it, but there should at least be chicks. Like Magma. Wish I coulda taken classes with her back before the school went all haywire. Aw, man, how awesome would it be to have Ms. Marvel as a camp counsellor? She’s gotta be the hottest Avenger ever. Having a total tool like Captain America lead the team probably doesn’t encourage too many ladies to join. Only the crazy ones, like freaking She-Hulk. He could definitely do with a few lessons from old Santo. I’ll set him straight.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not cool, tentacle monster. Not cool. As if you’re gonna catch me sitting that close to the water again. This whole place is totally something out of some lame horror movie. I mean, fire-breathing ducks? Come on. Shyamalan could do better than this. This place is boring! You'd think freaking zombies would make it fun, but these ones are totally lame! I hope Cess and Julian get here soon.
Hell, I'd even settle for that Borkowski dork right now.
