He grew up in an awful place, downtrodden and treated like trash. And he's had to fight his entire life. It's made him hard, and surly, and he has a thick coat of emotional armor that resembles for lack of a better word, “angry nonchalance”. However, if you get to know the real him you'll see a kind, honorable, decent man who only wants to better himself and the world...so this one doesn't end up like his did.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Fighting, Training, Using his powers on things, video games, movies, pretty much anything he didn't have access to in his time...like porn and surfing...the internet for porn.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Lucas Bishop was born on Genosha. An African island nation not too far from Madagascar. There the standard of living for humans is amazing, with the poorest of Genoshan's rivaling upper class in the rest of the world. However, this lavish lifestyle is achieved through one thing...slavery. Genosha and Genoshans flourish and thrive on the back of mutant slave labor. An entire percentage of the population is caught and returned to the island if they aren't born there.<br/><br/>They are kept in camps, selectively bred to manifest certain traits or abilities, and treated as less than human. Bishop was one of these mutants, and was raised in squalor. He was forced to develop his powers at a young age, and due to his unending rebellious nature, an "M" was branded over his eye as both a reminder of what he was and a tracking/torture device. He could never hide, and whenever he didn't follow commands, the brand would burn and cause intense pain and migraines. His energy manipulation abilities allowed him to power sections of the city along with the other "Manipulators".<br/><br/>His sister and parents had similar abilities, and the entire Bishop family was worked to the bone. One day, when several X-Men were captured by Genosha's mutant police force the "Press Gang", Lucas, Shard, and their parents were one of the few brave enough to fight back. And unfortunately, their parents were killed in the process. With no remaining relatives, and an offer of freedom and sanctuary from the X-Men, he and his sister took it. They came to the Institute where they have remained ever since.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Alpha<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Dormant X-Gene<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Energy Manipulation:</strong>Bishop can absorb any  form of energy, including magic and psionic, directed toward him. The nature of his powers makes it difficult to damage him with any sort of attack, while also enabling him to work well with any energy-using teammates. Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength, speed, stamina and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability.<br/><br/>The upper limits of his ability to enhance his own physical abilities with absorbed energy is not exactly known but is well into the level of being super human. He is able to increase his physical attributes in a manner similar to Sebastian Shaw and Maverick. The energy that Bishop’s body generates is a unique form that is regularly discharged as purplish hued concussive blasts, but with concentration and effort can be converted to thermal or explosive blasts; he usually just sticks with the concussion beams though for ease of use.<br/><br/>It’s easiest to discharge the energy through his arms or fingers, but he has the ability to expel energy from any point on his body(his eyes and his mouth for example), or in an Omni-directional explosive type blast at the cost of draining all of his current energy. When absorbing energy from an outside source, Bishop can send it back in the same form he absorbed it in with the energy polarized. So beyond a return attack adding roughly 2x the force and power to the blast, Bishop is even able to use this method of attack to harm people usually immune to their own powers. This power is passive, allowing Bishop to absorb energy at all times, even from something as simple as falling snow.<br/><br/><strong>Healing Factor:</strong>By expending stored energy, Bishop can speed up his body's recuperative processes a great deal. Like all of his powers, how much he can heal and how fast are directly dependent on how much energy he has stored at the moment. With none at all, he still heals much faster than normal, but nothing really impressive. With enough juice, he could even regrow an arm in time.<br/><br/><strong>Temporal-Spatial Awareness:</strong>A power he seems to have inherited from his as of now unknown Great Grandfather Gateway, as well as having absorbed amounts of chronal energy when traveling back through time; Bishop always knows what time it is in accordance to his location, and he also knows his exact location at any time, even when asleep.<br/><br/><strong>Energy Enhanced Attributes:</strong>At his normal levels, Bishop isn’t that much more impressive than a human in peak physical condition, but he is past that limit, if only slightly. He can comfortably bench around 550lbs, run a little under 30mph for short periods of time, things like that. Depending on the strength of an outside charge though, his strength has increased from as little to a hundred or so pounds above average, to well into the tons range where even people with enhanced durability have been staggered and dropped by blows from him. His durability is also augmented, which again dependent on the charge can be barely noticeable, or to near invulnerability. Speed and reflexes are likely supercharged, and a good charge has given Bishop the ability to dodge and even snatch bullets out of the air mid-flight.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Bishop has had many years of armed and unarmed combat training; it has made him a devastating unarmed combatant, and quite skilled with firearms due to the projection based nature of his powers. And while he has no superhuman ability, he is a world class vehicle operator. His natural aptitude towards leadership and battle tactics helps in battle a great deal, especially when he's given a chance to show off what he can do.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong>Energy Manipulation, Strength Control & Mastery, Marksmanship, Any type of physical training<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong>Fight Club, Marksmanship Club, Auto Club, etc...<br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong><br/>Shard is his younger sister
