Personality (at least two good paragraphs):
Bobby has two distinct emotions; more often than not, he's the life of the party. He one of the most popular mutants in school, mainly because he's one of the friendliest. However, that doesn't mean that Bobby won't easily pull a prank on you. He's the reigning member of what the children of the Mansion call "Mutant High", and sometimes, this fact gets the better of him. However, if you're an outcast, if you're new, you can bet Bobby will be there, willing to welcome you into Mutant High...after a few pranks, of course.
Overall History (at least two good paragraphs):
Robert Drake was born the youngest son of Henry and Roberta Drake. He has a brother named Ronald. When Bobby was 9, he was playing in the rain when his brother's friends came up and started teasing him. One of his brother's friends shoved him down into the puddle of rainwater, and frustrated, Bobby moved to hurl mud at the offender. He managed to throw a chuck of mud-ice at the boy, knocking him unconscious. The other boys had thought that Bobby had throw a rock at the older boy. No one knew except Bobby that he had these powers.
When Bobby was 12, his parents enrolled him in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngersters, thinking that it was a prep school. Bobby instantly became homesick, mainly because the second day he arrived at the school, it was his birthday. For his birthday, Ororo Munroe made it snow. Bobby instantly gathered the children together for a snowball fight. It was here that Bobby saw Kitty Pryde, and saw her powers at work as he threw a snow-ball at her. He gathered Kitty up on his team, and the two became fast friends.
When Rogue arrived, Bobby was instantly attracted to her, despite her mutation. After the events of Alkali Lake, their relationship had bloomed into boyfriend and girlfriend, however, they still had the little trouble of getting around Rogue's mutation.
It was only after the events of Alkali Lake that Bobby and Rogue found themselves thrust into the X-Men, becoming full fledged members. After the fight at Alcatraz, Bobby found his powers stripped from him, and it was a major blow. It was becoming more and more hard to stay cheerful without his powers.
Writing Sample (4 good paragraphs OF THE CHARACTER YOU ARE APPLYING FOR):
The sound of the alarm-clock made Robert Drake frown sleepily. "Jus' five more minutes." he muttered, rolling over onto his back, moving to cover his face with the pillow. A groan escaped his lips; he couldn't be late for class. Not this class. It was Professor Summers' auto class, and they had a--
"TEST! DAMMIT!"
Bobby jolted awake, looking at the clock. "Wha--Oh MAN!" Bobby said loudly. It was already 9:30! Scott's class was half over. "I'm gonna kill you, St. John." Bobby muttered, padding clad only in his boxers to the bathroom. Shower. Shower. Was a shower needed? He lifted an arm and sniffed, jerking back. Oh yes. Shower was needed. "Five seconds. Five seconds and then I gotta GO."
Bobby moved, blinding turning on the water. He pulled off his boxers, and stepped in, expecting warm, awakening water.
Except that it was scalding hot.
"AH! AH, JES--oh my GOD, TURN IT O--"
And then, it happened. Trying to get away from the stream of burning hot water, Bobby slipped and fell hard on his ass...and was covered from head to toe in a thick layer of ice. And then, much to his chagrin, he heard laughing. And he instantly knew who it was. And then he realised that it WASN'T nine in the morning...those--BASTARDS! It was so CLEVER!
"GUYS! PIOTR, ST. JOHN! I'M GONNA--I CAN'T MAKE IT GO AWAY!"
No answer. More laughter.
"...Okay, this was CLEVER but I'm still going to MURDER you both! You're getting it back in SPADES, you stupid ball of flame! He gives like, week long detention to people who are late, you ASS!"
