Having a mind like a computer that lets you shut out the bad and focus on only what you want to is a dangerous thing. A potentially corrupting and addictive thing. Once you realize you can deftly avoid dealing with the emotional baggage the world tries to saddle you with, after that first time you discover you can promptly distance yourself from the consequences of your actions... well, why wouldn't you?<br/><br/>As a result, Skylar feels that the face she presents to the world is an illusion. She's friendly enough, if a little on the quiet side, but those qualities are tempered by an almost roguish, devil may care sort of swagger. Her smiles and laughter are abundant and almost carefree, but though she strives to always remain firmly planted on the side of right and good, the temptation to stray is always there. There's no disguising that she's intelligent and intuitive but the way she flits from thing to thing, hobby to hobby, well, its been a struggle to figure out who she is.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Video Games, Swimming, Any kind of Strategy Game, Racing (motorcycles)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Coming from a well to do family in the public eye, Skylar grew up with every facet of her life seemingly under a microscope. She had to be perfect at everything and never do a single thing to draw unwanted attention or suspicion to their family. As a politician with aspirations of becoming Prime Minister one day, her father demanded that their family had to be above reproach. That lifestyle began to chafe quickly but Skylar did her best to be the daughter her father wanted. At least, until her powers manifested.<br/><br/>Skylar was nine the first time she woke up to a world of colorful waves and transmissions that all fought for her attention and her first few months were full of headaches and blackouts. When the doctors could find nothing that could be responsible for her problems medication seemed to become the option of choice. However, rather than risk what that might do to her, Skylar decided to be brave and tell her parents what the real problem was. Less than a week after revealing the onset of her powers Skylar was shipped off to join the rest of the mutants at the mansion while her parents and brothers continued living their picture perfect life as the ideal family.<br/><br/>It was a slap in the face to her, being shipped off that way, but though she felt utterly abandoned by her own flesh and blood Skylar quickly found a home among the other students at the mansion. She did her best to soak up all the knowledge available to her while also training hard to be sure that she wouldn't be a complete liability in combat. She is nearly done with her first doctorate degree at the urging of a few of the others since it wasn't much of a priority for her considering she wants nothing more than to be an official X-Man. After all, she has nothing waiting for her out in the world, her whole life is the mutants she's come to love and trust.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong> Beta (with Alpha level potential)<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong> First of Family<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong> <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Electromagnetism Manipulation:</strong> Can perceive, understand, and manipulate electromagnetic waves, though at this time her abilities center on the wavelengths between radio and visible light waves (radio, micro, infrared, and visible light). <br/>          <ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Light manipulation</em> - allows for the possibility of increasing, absorbing, shaping, or otherwise toying with light particles. Skylar is able to bend light particles and make herself invisible as well as manage simple illusions, concentrated flashes/beams of light, and basic levitation. Complex visual illusions, holograms, hard light projections, flight, and the ability to phase her physical body into pure energy are other possible developments that may occur though she has not yet managed to actually demonstrate these abilities with any reliability just yet. </li><li><em>Micro and Radio waves manipulation</em>- Skylar can sense, intercept, absorb, interpret, alter, and emit micro and radio waves, particularly as they pertain to telephone, television, radio and data transmissions. Blocking out signals once she's opened herself to them takes far more skill and focus than seeing them and Skylar can be overwhelmed if she does not find proper means of distraction or avoidance. Understanding of intercepted transmissions is a passive ability that is always on though affecting the energy or even generating it takes concentration and focus. She is also an effective radar system with greater precision than most military applications making some "stealth modes" ineffective against her. The upper limit of this ability would be the ability to transmit her entire consciousness as a stream of data, though obviously she is not at this level yet. </li><li><em>Infrared vision</em> - Skylar has infrared vision accessed by a change in concentration.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Cyberpathy:</strong> She can control, manipulate, and even generate electronic, digital, and radio transmissions without accessing any standard source of communication so that she is in essence a living wireless hub/computer. This allows her interface with computers and systems easily.</li><li><strong>Cybernetic Mind:</strong> Skylar is able to process information far faster than an average person and perform multiple complex mental tasks simultaneously while possessing enhanced memory that allows her to transfer, store, or delete memories and information as she chooses.</li><li><strong>Limited Telepathy:</strong> The ability to communicate mentally with others who either have some ability to "talk" to computers or possess telepathic abilities themselves.</li><li><strong>Mental Shields:</strong> Skylar has a very high resistance to purely psychic attacks. </li></ul>Skylar's physical form is in excellent shape but she is still only human and can potentially be killed by anything that could kill an average person. She is at her most vulnerable when interfacing with a computer. It is a gradual shift but the longer she's connected the more internal/mental processes and awareness have priority over external. Added to that is the fact that the longer she is connected to a computer the more distant and cold she grows as she disassociates with her senses and emotions.<br/><br/>As her power is always on in terms of sensing waves and signals, it can be quite taxing to simply get through the day. The more fatigued she is, the more distracting/overwhelming things can be for her causing headaches, blackouts, and insomnia. It should also be noted that she is susceptible to anything that can dampen or disrupt electromagnetic waves.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/>Multilingual - English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Greek, Latin, Morse Code, ASL, Various Programming Languages<br/>Surveillance<br/>Forgery<br/>Hacking &amp; Programming<br/>Highly trained athlete - Gymnastics &amp; Swimming<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taught:</strong> Computer Classes (all levels)<br/><br/><strong>Staff Relations:</strong> <br/>Lucas | War - New arrival she takes an interest in.<br/>Scott | Cyclops - Buddy! He's such a boy scout she can't help but tease a little, but he's a good guy with a good head on his shoulders and she adores him.<br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong><br/>Kyle | Vyrus - He's like a little bro to her. They have some similar powers yet apply them in different ways which means Skylar feels as if she can learn just as much from him as he can from her. She's kind worried that he might not understand the consequences and responsibility that comes with powers like theirs but he's young, and she's not going anywhere.</div></div>
