Now...what color is pain?<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5’8<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>117 lbs.<br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong>Emma Stone<br/><strong>Physical Features:</strong>The main difference between my Emma Stone and my character is that Cyclops is always covering her eyes, either with a pair of ruby quartz ‘sunglasses’, or a special made visor that allows her to control her power, at least, to some degree.<br/><br/><strong>General Appearance:</strong>Salem has a very athletic build. She is long, lean, strong, and muscular, at least at a glance. Her shape isn’t as womanly as it could have been. Salem prides herself in her physical shape. She’s been working out and pushing herself to be more athletic for years. As a result of such hard work, she has narrow hips, a subtle chest, and an exceptionally round buttocks. Salem's breasts usually fit comfortably into B-cups. In a word, her body is perky in all places. Salem's sense of style is based almost entirely on practicality. She dresses for the occasion, as limited as her wardrobe is, she always seems to blend into a room.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Salem has a dry sense of humor if it exists at all, a good joke can get a laugh out of her, but enjoyment always sounds like its being forced. Her laugh is usually awkward. She takes things too seriously. Salem is wound tighter than a christian prom queen. There are a significant number of personality flaws. She is not an easy person to get along with, but that kind of thing doesn’t bother her so much. She does her best not to be lazy, or dependent, or allow her focus to stray, she cleans up after herself, she washes her clothes, and she eats healthy food when she remembers to eat. Salem would rather skip a meal than consume anything that isn't going to help her grow stronger or faster or help her live longer. Typically, these things do not waiver.<br/><br/>Lectures are a past time for Salem. She is direct, attentive, constructive, and creative. However, she has very little emotional response. And, its very difficult to 'get inside' of her. This happens in many more than just one way. Telepaths have a lot of trouble handling what is going on deep inside of Salem's mind. On the surface, it seems like Salem uses a fake strong voice to help herself seem more confident. However, that voice doesn't go away in private moments. And, still a virgin, so, she's sort of reserved and sheltered at this age for having never physically let someone inside. Salem works best in large groups of five or more, this likely comes from growing up around ten to twenty other kids in her orphanage groups. Salem has trouble the smaller the group gets. One on one contact is especially complicated for her, unless one of the two parties is an instructor in some way.<br/><br/>Alone, Salem is at peace, she loves to just keep her eyes closed and think, or sleep, or run...all alone.<br/><br/>Politics- Salem trusts Charles decision to be a pacifist. She supports him, and is excited to graduate from her educations to be a useful member of the x-men. The US Government is frustrating for her. She doesn’t like the idea of mutants being roundup and tagged, but she understands why something must be done to keep the majority of the population on Earth calm and manageable. The brotherhood’s violence is unacceptable, and she essentially lives to shut the brotherhood down. She feels like, without Magneto and his tribe of maniacs, the homo sapiens and the homo superiors would get along much more easily.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Salem was the younger of two children born to Major Christopher Summers, a test pilot for the US Airforce. Salem once had an older brother named Alex. They were each born in Anchorage. However, neither of them have any memory of this, no memory of their parents or each other. Salem knows very little of her birth and how she came to be. Salem grew up in a sequence of orphanages. In this life, Salem was not Salem. Salem was Arienette Heller.<br/><br/>Arienette/Salem had always felt like an outcast. Her eyes were so bright that they made people uncomfortable. Her sense of pride, and posture made her peers resent her. Still, she took on a role of leadership, having stood up for those being bullied, and tattling on the kids who were becoming real problems. Salem avoided fights with the other kids with flawless execution, and she idolized the adults around her, ever hungry for a parental figure, without the luck of actually finding one. Life was not glorious, it was a specific level of brutal loneliness and lack of guidance. Some of Salem's brothers and sisters would break the rules in order to explore the world around them. But, they would always come back, and their stories were entirely unimpressive. Most of them sounded fake.<br/><br/>In Salem's teen years, things got especially strange. She had moved into a new orphanage in Connecticut, and severe headaches started to develop. She had outcast herself again by immediately narking a small drug ring in the orphanage. Then, the head aches started. Then, she started to wake up on the ground outside. Then, her clothes would be wet with urine for no reason. Then she was made fun of for her lanky shape. Then came the physical taunting. Two years turned into Salem's own private hell.<br/><br/>When Salem was sixteen, she had been on a trip to New York with her orphanage supervisor. The hell from before had been paled in comparison. Here, she was picked on, subjected to ridicule and physical molestation. The kids enjoyed making her miserable, the torture was real. During the trip, Salem walked across a construction site to avoid the taunting and teasing of her classmates. Her goal was to detour through the construction to escape the 'field trip'. Once away, she could enjoy New York without being in the company of assholes and vapid bitches. The feeling of loneliness took over at that point, and her optic beam activated. The blast damaged a metal crane causing it to fall towards an onlooking crowd. Salem tried to think as quickly as possible, unleashing a second blast that destroyed the crane. The crowd had believed to think that this was an act of violence, and had formed a lynch mob. Charles Xavier, luckily, was near by during the event. He arrived to help Salem in an instant. He had to erase the crowd's memories, something that took convincing. This is when he told Salem her real name, and influenced her to come study at his school. Salem had felt affirmed, and she ran away from the orphanage, taken in by Charles Xavier. Living at the school, and working forward from that point only came naturally.<br/><br/>In the more recent events, her life has been fairly basic. She was forced to register herself as a mutant, but other than that, Charles hasn’t let her outside of her training grounds yet. She wants to be out there, affecting the world and helping the x-men against the brotherhood badly. But, she’s still waiting for the phone to ring.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Beta<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>Concussive optic beam. Salem is still learning advanced techniques with this. She can’t exactly blast it off of four different surfaces in order to snipe an enemy from around a corner quite yet. But she has her advanced optic visor to help her control the intensity of her beam.<br/>Explanation- Cyclops emits the beams of energy from her eyes, which have the appearance of red light and deliver massive concussive force. These beams produce no heat. When, out of control, Cyclops can pulverize rock, bend metal out of shape, or stop and flip a moving car. These beams produce no recoil. Her body is also naturally immune to the beam's force, so she can just close her eyelids without any pain and stop the blast from emitting. Because of this, Salem would be immune to all of her brother Alex's powers.<br/><br/><strong>Innate Geometry:</strong><br/>It's not clear whether Cyclops' innate understanding of Geometry isa a mutation, or just an interesting part of her multi-faceted brain. But there it is. Motion in space, angles, reflections, and so on. With a power that travels in a straight line. Cyclops can angle her blasts off of neutral substances to strike people from multiple angles.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Equipment Name:</strong><br/>N/A - just a student for now.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>Weakness:</strong><br/>No Control of Power - Functional Blindness:  She cannot stop her power from destroying anything that she looks at directly, so; Cyclops uses a pair of ruby quartz eyeglasses developed by Professor X to contain the devastating rays. In her X-Men uniform, she uses a ruby quartz battle visor in place of the glasses. The crystal is said to resonate at the same frequency as the psionic field that protects Cyclops (and Havok) from their own powers. Her uniform has firing studs incorporated into her gloves and on the sides of the battle visor that control the visor's aperture. In the event that the visor has a power failure, the apertures are spring loaded to automatically close so Cyclops can at least see normally. Given any total malfunction, Cyclops is functionally blind without the aid of these devices. She would be unable to stop from blasting everything and everyone in front of her without them.<br/><br/>Completely Human Body:  compared to the concussive force of her power. Cyclops is fragile, and one good strong blow to the head could kill her, let alone take her out of the fight. She's broken a number of bones sparring with the other mutants in the mansion. In addition, Cyclops' physical punch,even if she were in peak condition would do very little harm. Staying in shape comes easily to her, and her muscles were meant to be toned. But, she also works out too hard, and she's blown muscles before through over-exertion.<br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/>No social skills: Cyclops has a significantly poor understanding of peoples emotions. And, she is not good at reading people's moods. So, the wrong words come out of her mouth a lot. She's an authoritarian, and that doesn't go over well with her peers.<br/><br/>Heroine complex:  Salem will always help some one who needs it. This can lead her into rocky situations, surrounded by hostiles. This can also keep Cyclops from completing missions. This can also have Salem walk right into a trap. She defends the innocent compulsively, and it's not always a good thing.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br/><br/>Tae Kwon Do: Professionally trained, loses most fights hand to hand, still too young to be entirely effective.<br/><br/>Expansive expertise in history: Salem specializes in Medieval Era combat strategies. She has a very powerful mind capable of quick reaction, fast complex problem solving, and an impressive memory.<br/><br/>Motorcycle: Salem rebuilt a motorcycle a few years ago for credit and stuff. This is the bike:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">bike</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.riderfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Honda_CB100_1972.jpg)</div></div><br/>RA at School, Status: Salem has attended more than four years of schooling under Xavier and the other teachers. So, She is one of the longer tenored students at the school. With such a long standing record of impressive studies and a stout character, she has been made the RA of the girl's dorm rooms.<br/><br/>Cyclops' pilot training:<br/>Salem is being trained to fly jet planes and other assorted aircraft. Her instructer is Logan<br/><br/>Assorted responsibilities:<br/><strong>--</strong>Cyclops the RA<br/><strong>--</strong>TA for David Alleyne<br/><strong>--</strong>Inventory for school supplies, pencils, dry erase markers, staples, paper, various computer resources: keyboards, mouses, flashdrives, headphones, computer components for the geeks. And, Inventory for the dorms, bedding, lamps, toiletries, athletic clothing, and so on. She would also re-order new inventory to keep every classroom and office stocked. This is a big place, so there would be more things to inventory. She probably couldn't inventory the whole mansion, but she would try if she didn't have any help. If some one else wants to do inventory with her, that'd be neat, if not, some NPCs'll do the trick I'm sure. Her two responsibilities for inventory, are classrooms, and dorms.<br/><strong>--</strong>Introducing new students, RA duty, usually girls, could be boys as well.<br/><strong>--</strong>Plans weekly and monthly events. Think of a sanctioned Halloween party that none of the cool kids show up to, Salem organized that. And, dammit, she enjoys the conversation.<br/><strong>--</strong>Administer basic dorm rules. She does this so that Charles isn't inquiring into whom and whom is not cleaning up after themselves or sneaking out at night. (note: she will have trouble enforcing these rules, lots of sneaky mutants, and I don't like spoiling other players' naughty ideas).<br/><br/><strong>The schedule of Salem Summers</strong><br/>6:00 - morning routine, shower, water, no breakfast<br/>6:45 - morning run on the track<br/>7:30 - back to room to prepare for classes, 2nd shower<br/>8:00 - 12:30 morning classes, and TA for David Alleyne<br/>12:30 - afternoon break, usually another short class or field preperation<br/>2:00 - 3:30 afternoon class<br/>3:30 - inventory / administration duties<br/>5:00 - extracurricular x-men training and various other chores until bed.<br/><br/><strong>Salem's Relationships: </strong><br/>Charles Xavier - Salem was originally protected and saved by Charles, and she holds him in very high regard. He's the closest thing she has to a father.<br/><br/>David Haller - Salem's history with David is complicated at best. They were both awkward teens at the school at around the same time. Well ,Salem was an awkward teen, David was seven. The red eyed mutant got along with a few of David's personalities, but the man himself was intriguing to her. After all he'd been through, she liked the way he carried himself. The two of them had a breif confusing relationship for both of them that didn't mesh very well. Neither of them were able to properly communicate with the other, and... 'nothing happened' as they say.<br/><br/>Psylocke - Salem is aware of new students coming in, the administrators know her well, and she often puts it upon herself to drop in and say hi, to welcome any new comers to the school. She's yet to do so with Psylocke, a bit intimidated by the woman.<br/><br/>Laura Kinney - These two don't necessarily get along. They have similar goals, but, something about being near each other, usually ends up in some kind of disagreement.<br/><br/>Old Man Logan - Salem has a strange history with Logan. She idolized him when he was alive, before he was alive again. She respected him on a level that she didn't fully understand. Salem wanted to fight at his side, and when he died she regretted the fact that she never took it upon herself to get closer to him. Like many other men, Logan was incredibly intimidating to her. When this new, yet old Logan appeared, Salem saw it as another chance. She is currently taking flight lessons from him.<br/><br/>Rahne/Wolfsbane - Nothing concrete yet, as Rahne is new to the school, but she and Salem got along well when they spent time together,<br/><br/>Vulcan - brother, but neither of them know it yet<br/><br/>Colossus - Salem learns whatever she can from Piottr when she's around him in class, training or socially. The two of them have never really been at odds about anything. But there is one funny story when Salem accidentally launched Colossus half way across the campus, making a divet in the ground big enough for a small pond. Salem and Piotr worked together to relandscape that section of the lawn.<br/><br/>Robert Smith - Like most of the students around the school. Salem has spent plenty of time with each of them, taking what she can with her to prepare for her 'promotion'. They have a wonderful student teacher relationship, and she's always looked forward to his classes.<br/><br/>Prodigy - Salem took one of David's classes the year before, and the two of them clicked right away. She preferred math over other subjects, and her natural tendency to organize and assist created the perfect pairing. She was his TA, and that was all.<br/><br/>Kitty Pryde - Salem and Kitty haven't known each other for too long, but they get along swimmingly. Not much of a history, but a good basis for friendship<br/><br/>jean grey - Salem and Jean have spent a lot of time together, sometimes in class, sometimes in training, sometimes in personal meetings. The two of them have a natural connection to each other. Salem always feels elevated after talking with Jean.<br/><br/>(More to come)
