history: http://heroeswiki.com/Mohinder

personality: Mohinder is a professor and a geneticist from Chennai, India. He has a PhD in parapsychology and use to teach at the University of Madras. He has always attempted to follow in his father's footsteps, trying to get recognition for his own work while building off of his own father's research. Mohinder and his dad have a very rocky relationship stemming from the death of his older sister. Mohinder was conceived to produce antibodies for his sister, who had contracted a virus that attacked and killed any evolved human being. Though he was born with those antibodies, it was too late to save his sister.

Despite Mohinder's clash with his father, who had run off to America to try and find other evolved human beings, Mohinder still defends him. When he is told that his father died, Mohinder takes a leave of absence from his teaching position, packs up what he can of his father's work, and goes off to New York City to discover why his dad was killed and to continue his work.

Mohinder is a born skeptic, as any good scientist ought to be. Though he does believe his father's theories about evolved humans and super powers, he needs to see them for himself, first hand. He is quick to dismiss other people at first that claim to have powers but can't reproduce them. Conversely, he is also extremely gullible and easy to dupe. Over and over again, Mohinder's want-it-to-be-true nature has gotten him into trouble. He rarely stops to think through certain situations and is caught up in the plots of others because he feels himself powerless to do anything else. Despite all of his book smarts, Mohinder rarely shows signs of having common sense.

Mohinder has an inflated sense of morality. Though he is sometimes forced to do things outside of his comfort zone, more often than not, he rebels when pushed too far even if that gets him injured. As a former employer put it, Mohinder's moral compass points true north. He tries to be heroic and though he is far from cowardly, he is very easy to spook. He can be annoyingly persistent at times and is willing to drop his entire life for causes he believes in with very little provocation.

That said, Mohinder finds it very hard to forgive people that have wronged him. Though he is a religious man (the Hindi faith does not conflict with science as some monotheistic belief systems do), he also embraces revenge. Mohinder can be as cruel as he is kind and generally takes it upon himself to deal with problems (and usually in somewhat stupid ways that puts him into more danger than it is likely worth). He gets very focused and sometimes can refuse to see reason.

Though Mohinder has had long term relationships, and actively accepts romances, he has never been married and is childless. Just the same, he considers himself a father to Molly Walker, a little girl he helped to save from the same virus that killed his sister. For a few months, she lived with him in his apartment in New York along with Matt Parkman, who Mohinder took in to help him recover from his gun shot wounds during a battle against the super powered villain, Sylar, at the final show down of Season One.

Mohinder genuinely loves Molly and has since sent her off to stay with his mother in India where he thinks she'll be safe.

abilities/powers: Mohinder is a normal human being with no evolved abilities or super powers. He is a professor and a geneticist. The latter gives him skill to draw blood, prepare slides, and work lab equipment though he is not a medical doctor. He has participated in clinical trials however and can handle basic first aid. He is academically minded and very intellectual, though he does seem to fail when it comes to common sense. He is trilingual, speaking Hindi and English fluently while knowing enough French to get by with.

first person sample:
A somewhat sad thread from an old LJ game thread... Mohinder and Molly.
The start of a very, very long PSL...with Sylar over at Sixwordstories
Note: all of that PSL, both first person and third person posts, can be found here if you need even more examples.

third person sample:
Mohinder stopped off at Starbucks on the way back home to Brooklyn, eyes red-rimmed and heart heavy. Letting Molly go, after losing Matt and being flung again into the power play between the Company and a man he watched 'die' on the sidewalk at Kirby Plaza, had been more than just a little difficult for him. He did manage not to tear up until he was back in the car; Molly was seen off with a brave face and a promise that he would be with her again soon. Now, standing in line for overpriced coffee, Mohinder realized his mistake in coming here. "I'd like a grande chai tea, a tall strawberry crème Frappacino and a venti special blend, black with su--" He nearly choked. That had been his standard order up until a week ago. The barista frowned at him when he paused. "Just... Just the chai-- No, never mind."

He'd never ran out of a shop so fast in his life. Mohinder ignored the car, walking passed it. He needed to clear his head because driving in this condition would just get someone hurt.

Mohinder knew he had done the right thing sending Molly to Chennai to stay with his mother. It was safe there. Sylar couldn't get her there. Hopefully. Not that it mattered. Mohinder still felt cheated. Sylar had taken everyone and everything from him: his father, his research, his ability to trust anyone, his livelihood. He would not get his hands on that girl too. His daughter, even if they were not related by blood.

Mohinder ignored the darkness as he cut down an alley. It was stupid to do that, even in the day time, but Mohinder did not always think things through. He was running from himself, from his thoughts, from-—

Mohinder blacked out. He must have. One moment he was in Brooklyn and now he was...here. Whereever here happened to be! His first thought, though he knew it to be insane, was that the serial killer was behind this. How else could it have happened?!

“H-Hello?” he vocalized, swallowing thickly. "Is anyone there?!"

case no: Random is fine.
