Quicksilver) and another mutant.<br/><strong>Role:</strong>X-Force<br/><strong>Character Model:</strong>OC by Mogami Rio (Artist)<br/><br/><strong>Gender: </strong>Female<br/><strong>Birthdate:</strong>July 23<br/><strong>Age:  </strong>18<br/><strong>Birthplace:</strong>San Francisco<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Caucasian<br/><strong>Orientation:  </strong>Omnisexual<br/><strong>Dominance:</strong>Switch<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5' 5"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>120 lbs.<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong>Aquamarine<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong>Silver<br/><br/><strong>Known Mutant Power(s):</strong>Coriolys - so named because of the swirling patterns use of her powers creates around her - is apparently a short range teleporter.  She can instantly teleport from any location she is in to any location she can see clearly.  Her multiple irises have associated lenses, giving her telescopic and macroscopic vision, enabling her to see clearly for a distance of two or three miles or focus on close to microscopic objects.  She has been known to comment that she cannot see further because of the pollution rather than incapability; visual testing reveals her acute vision is actually closer to ten to twelve miles.  Her nickname 'Boomer' comes from the sonic thunderclaps use of her powers generates.  She is also capable of creating shockwaves at close quarters, shockwaves powerful enough to shatter most materials, liquefy organic material, vaporize liquids, and create momentary vacuums in atmosphere.  This is a short range effect, usually limited to no more than ten feet or so.  Finally, she shows remarkable resilience to most kinetic damage, withstanding almost any form of impact with no injury if she is aware of the attack.  She is not invulnerable; when she is surprised she has been cut and has developed bruises from impacts when she's been struck or hit her body against an obstacle she wasn't aware of.  Normal heat, fire, and cold seem to do no harm to her either, while intense heat from lasers and burning napalm have been known to injure her as well as the intense cold generated by some mutant powers or liquid nitrogen.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses: </strong>She seems to be unable to use her teleportation when in contact with living organic materials.  Whether this is a real problem or psychosomatic is unknown, as she can teleport with inorganic materials no heavier than what she can normally carry without effort.  Her shockwaves, while exceedingly destructive, have no effect on any adamantium alloys or on vibranium (though the latter does not absorb any kinetic force from her shockwaves).  Electricity causes her power to go wild, and usually several shockwaves erupt from her position, laying waste to anything nearby and causing her intense agony.  She also needs to breathe, and if she vaporizes chemicals nearby through use of her shockwaves, she can accidentally poison herself.  Her teleportation does not work through barriers; if there is a hole large enough for her head, she can teleport through it.  Boomer can teleport to places she cannot see directly, especially if she has been in them or seen them on camera; if she is unfamiliar with a place she will usually refuse to attempt a teleport unless the location is very obviously open and without any intervening objects.  Some energy barriers can hinder her teleportation, while others do not.  Invisible barriers will block her teleports; some mechanism in her mind or body senses them and prevents her from passing through, just as though it were a solid object that was visible.<br/><br/><strong>General Personality/Traits:</strong>Petra seems to have inherited her grandfather's arrogance and disdain for others, a trait which does not endear her to her teammates at all.  She dislikes the polluted atmosphere of cities and laments that that's where all the real problems are; in her opinion oxygen bars were the Japanese' greatest contribution to humankind.  She is not truly confrontational, despite her disdainful attitude, and will usually back down if told off or threatened.  At the same time she is a bully, and will not hesitate to cajole or intimidate others if they seem weaker than her.  She is very clever, and enjoys coming up with plans and ideas, though she takes offense if she is not credited with coming up with them.  While she will obey authority figures, Coriolys does not like being ordered around or treated like a child despite her somewhat immature attitudes.  Petra has a great deal of appreciation for the less humanoid mutants, and finds them just as attractive as she finds humans or human-like mutants.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Petra was born on Earth; it was her mother's last concession to Petra's grandfather, that she would be born on the world where he and Wanda Maximoff were born.  Her father was an Inhuman, and was only vaguely humanoid; she has no body-shape prejudices as a result and can find even the most grotesque mutant attractive.  She arrived at the training facilities of the X-Men already versed in most of her powers, and wanting to do good.  After thorough screening, it was determined she was being honest and wished to reconnect with her Earthling roots as well as help the X-Men keep the threats to humanity at bay.  It quickly became obvious, however, that her powers were almost entirely militaristic in application.  While she could teleport short distances, it was only with a load she could carry easily and get into physically anyways, while there was nothing except extreme destruction that her close-range shockwaves could do, and the limited range didn't help.  The only other power she could contribute to the X-Men was her uncanny vision, which high tech binoculars or telescopes could easily duplicate.<br/><br/>It was not long before she was placed with the heavy hitters - and more vicious group - of X-Force, where she has demonstrated great skill at dealing with heavily armored opponents and speedsters.  Her quick thinking and belligerent attitude does rub many people the wrong way, but she is very fond of saying "The world is all sharp corners and steel wool; if you don't have a thick skin it will rub you raw."
