History
Pallaton was born to Jane and David Austin as Joshua Austin, but his mutations were quick to show themselves, as he started changing at six months. His parents were mixed in their reactions to this. Jane was worried, but still wished to care for him where-as David, a member of an anti-mutant movement, wanted to destroy his son and all evidence of having raised him. After multiple attempts on Pallaton's life, Jane told David she would deal with him and, via many bribes and deals, erased all evidence of Joshua's existence, bar one. Joshua himself was placed under the care of two of Jane's closest friends, Odakota and Takoda in Liberty, New York. With Jane's help and finances, Joshua became Pallaton, Odakota and Takoda's son. Knowing that she could risk his life, Jane left Pallaton's life. By the age of two, Pallaton's mutations were seemingly complete, resulting in the half-man, half-beast he was to become for the rest of his life.
Even despite this, his new parents treated him exactly as they would treat a human son, teaching him the skills he'd require in his day-to-day life, as well as wilderness survival skills and traditions. These skills eventually fostered a respect for the Earth and nature, as well as the forces at work on the planet, but the mystic nature of magic intrigued him more and more as time went on. Soon, Pallaton was seeking to learn more about that, and sought sources to learn from, as well as teaching himself various first-aid and medical subjects. Luckily, a retired mystic named Juan Kaiser was willing to teach the young mutant Terramancy, the ability to control and create earth and rock. Pallaton was a willing student, but he never seemed to be able to grasp the more complex concepts. As such, this ability is still in its infancy, along with most of his mutant abilities.
Despite the events that led him to learn about the mystic arts, Pallaton still wished to learn more about himself and other mutants. His own research led him to believe that his purpose as a mutant was to protect the humans who are unable to do so. Unable to learn more in Liberty, he applied to Xavier's Institute, looking into various medical sciences to understand the origins of the abilities of himself and other mutants.

Quotes
- ((Referring to a heart)) "That's true, but even still, there's one thing you have that nobody else does, Daisuke. …That. Nobody can take that from you because of the bonds you've forged. Eddie is pretty much an embodiment of this. The relationships you have, the people you've met, whatever it is you believe… nobody can take that from you. And that's coming from someone whose ancestors had almost everything taken from them, but they kept what matters through all these years."
- "I'm not going to let anyone do things to hurt or upset my pack and get away with it."
- "I don't care if this is right or wrong in your view. It's right in mine. You hurt one of my charge and you'll face the repercussions, simple as that."
- "I know how that feels. I mean, I've got claws and teeth and could probably rip someone in two if I wanted to, but I don't want to kill. I mean, that would make me as bad as whoever I'm up against, right? If I start killing the bad guys, I'll become a bad guy myself. When I've been fighting, I… I kind of lose it a little. I'm hoping I don't end up doing something I regret. I think it was Eddie who told me, but X-Men don't kill. It's just not what we do."
- "Nononononononono, I am NOT flying again. Never. Not even if my life depended on it, I am NOT getting back up in the sky like that. I'll… I'll turn you to stone, or something if you do!"
Abilities
Powers
Pallaton's mutations are rather obvious and can easily be guessed. His size and wolf-like appearance make him quite intimidating, and the claws on his hands and feet only add to that, not to mention his teeth. Then there's the strength and speed that come with it, and the heightened senses. However, the similarities with werewolves end there, as the form is permanent and he doesn't regenerate. He was also taught Terramancy, or Earth magic, by a friend and works to improve his ability. Lastly, his form also gives him a higher metabolism, resulting in drugs and chemicals of all kids being intensified in severity and taking effect almost instantly.
Pallaton's mutations have given him increased strength compared to humans, being able to easily lift up to half a ton, though if he puts much effort into it, he can lift up to a ton, but cannot move while doing so. This strength also affects attacks with his own body, as he can hit with tremendous force, enough to punch through a brick wall in one go. Stronger materials may take more time or simply be impossible, such as concrete.
Pallaton's mutations have gone so far as to give him sharpened claws on his hands and feet, however he is unable to use them very effectively. He is still able to cause wounds with them, but he lacks the ability to attack specific parts on an enemy for the greatest effect. His skill with his natural weapons would be best compared to that of someone practicing a martial art after a week of study.
Pallaton's senses are stronger than a normal human's as well. His hearing is more sensitive, being able to hear noises from further away and also hearing a slightly larger range of frequencies as well. Also, he is able to pick up on the unique scents of various people, as well as pick them up from farther away, three times as far as the average human nose, as well as picking up scents up to a week old (depending on the strength of the scent. A weak scent will fade sooner than a strong one). However, this sensitivity can be used against him, as overpowering smells will likely cause a sensory black-out, leaving him unable to use his nose to track targets.
Although his size may seem to slow him down, he is able to run at the same speed as an average human. However, if he runs on all fours, he is significantly faster, being able to reach a top speed of around 40 km/h if pushing himself hard, though this will exhaust him quickly. He can run, on all fours, at a speed around 25 km/h without too much effort, allowing him to chase and fight with an enemy, if the need arises.
Pallaton's skill with earth magic is extremely weak. The magic allows him to create, control and shape rock, dirt and sand of up to 10 cubic centimeters volume. Anything larger is impossible to control, as they simply disappear and waste energy. However, these abilities require him to gesture with his hands and speak, though growls seems to suffice for this part. If he is unable to do so, he cannot use these abilities. Constant use of this magic (Around five to ten minutes) will cause him to become highly fatigued.
Due to a higher metabolism, Pallaton is highly succeptible to poisons and similar effects that are absorbed into his body. Not only do they take effect faster (about one quarter of the normal time), they are also more powerful. Moderately strong poisons can become near-fatal to him. This is true for all drugs, however, as beneficial chemicals also work quicker and are more powerful.
Skills
Pallaton was taught many things as a child, but a few skills he holds developed from his own curiosity. He holds strong survival skills, as well as a functional, if not in-depth, knowledge of medicine. Furthermore, Pallaton was raised religiously and still follows the traditions he was taught today.
When a child, Odakota taught Pallaton the necessities to survive in the wilderness, should they become useful, as well as honing Pallaton's abilities with his senses. This also includes the uses of wild plants for various tasks, such as their medicinal use or ability in cooking or preparing food. Though these skills are not potent, they will allow him to survive in various environments for around a week.
Pallaton's own curiosity into his origins resulted in him dabbling in medical sciences, learning basic CPR and anatomy, as well as the more popular theories on how mutants came to be. Using this knowledge, Pallaton can perform basic CPR, treat minor wounds and create short-term fixes for more serious injuries, as well as other similar techniques, should the need arise. More complex tasks, such as surgery, are out of his capacity. Such skills are about as potent as a trainee EMT.
Raised by Odakota and Takoda to be a Native American, Pallaton learned many of the traditions and myths that still circulate today. Though a seemingly niche knowledge, Pallaton finds refuge in old traditions when things go wrong. Knowledge of the myths and legends also helps him within certain situations, but again, is rare.
Trivia
- Though not by blood, Pallaton is a highly religious Native American, finding solitude in the traditions he was taught.
- Pallaton is a Native American name meaning 'Fighter'. His codename, Talli, is similar and means 'Hero'.
- Pallaton doesn't like flying at all. Not one bit.
- If someone manages to scratch a specific point behind Pallaton's ears, they have themselves an eight-foot tall puppy.
- Pallaton's main disguise when using his Image Inducer is based on the Bassist for his player's band in Rock Band 2, My Name Is Might Have Been.
