Father: Piotr Storkov (deceased) Mother: Elena Storkov (deceased) no siblings<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Ivan is very much a loner generally preferring his own company to the company of others. He is very slow to trust others, if somebody does manage to earn his trust he will be a fiercely loyal friend. If that trust is broken though he will hold a grudge for a very long time and it will be even harder to earn his trust again. He is also very territorial and ready to defend what he thinks is his.<br/><br/>Like a cat Ivan can be quite jovial and playful, but his mood can change in an instant without warning. He unfortunately has anger issues and angers quickly, but can calm back down just as quickly. He tends to be sarcastic and a “smart ass” even at inappropriate times, sometimes the filter between thoughts and the spoken word just does not seem to work. His over all personality is very cat like and just as hard to interpret or predict.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>spending as much time outdoors as possible, exploring, lounging, engaging in some physical activity. He prefers nature to man made but also has found that he does love parkour if he must be in an urban setting.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Born in Siberia and living there until he was 6 his odd behavior was simply disregarded as him simply being an inquisitive and energetic child. However after he and his parents immigrated to the USA he was diagnosed with a version A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder) but the usual medications had little to now affect on his disorder or behavior. Throughout school he was constantly in some sort of trouble, either for not paying attention and being disruptive in class or for fighting.<br/><br/>This continued until he was 14 at which time some Russian agents came into the home he shared only with his parents in the middle of the night. They did not hesitate to kill his parents but tried to take him alive. He resisted and his enhanced strength helped to do so quite well. The agents finally resorted to shooting him. The bullet nearly killed him but the adrenaline, pain, and anger triggered his first transformation to a tiger and the full healing. As an enraged adolescent tiger he easily killed his attackers.<br/>He woke the next morning with little memories of what happened several blocks from home in a wooded area. He was naked and dirty but there was no blood on him. Not knowing what had happened or why he was naked and not at home he walked home only to discover police already there. He, of course, was spotted and questioned. He saw the bodies of his parents as they taken out of his and he remembered what had happened. He never told the police that he got his memory back though. Having no family he went into the foster system and was bounced from one family to another every month or so. It seemed nobody could deal with his moody nature which had only gotten worse after losing his parents. Finally a representative from the Xavier Institute came to him and brought him to the school.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Delta<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>First of Family.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Shape shifter/animal affinity: He shifts into a 600 plus pound tiger.
