He’s stronger then what his smaller body lets on and some that have felt his muscles comment on them feeling like warm marble or being able to shred cheese on his abs.<br/><br/>He has also been likened to the form of a jungle cat and his form is so balanced and symmetrical that it has been compared to that of Bruce Lee’s. This also shows to where Shen trains for strength and speed, and his movements are shown to have both grace and beauty including inflating his lats to appear like a cobra.<br/><br/>Most of his clothing remains to be light weight and easy to move in. He doesn’t wear blue jeans or other clothing instead remaining in clothes that appear close to what one would picture a Shaolin Monk would dress in.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">OTHER INFORMATION:</span></strong><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Shen Xorn is a man of peace and meditation. He believes in the ideals of Gautama Buddha. He is a pacifist believing in the best of humanity and enlightenment for oneself and for others. Shen does understand the need for violence to defend others, and will fight to further Xavier’s dreams. He is a community activist and believes is selfless acts to help his friends and others. Joining the X-Men took time to get used to and after his second mission; he took time off, but has since returned to the group. As both a teacher for the students and to join the X-Men in fulfilling Charles Xavier's dream of peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>POWERS:</strong></span><br/><em>Miniature Black Hole:</em>The Xorn twins possess miniature stars in their brain, each having a primary state. Shen's star manifests as a black hole, although Shen is able to more or less physically manifest his outside of his body. Shen's black hole emits an intense gravity field that not even light can escape. He is able to draw people into his star literally like a black hole draws things and does not let them go. Anything drawn into Shen's black hole is shunted into other realms or dimensions. Shen's black hole works as an aperture into different dimensions, realms, or realities randomly. He is also able to reverse his stars natural state, which is Shen is able to cause his black hole to flare up into a sun.<br/><br/><em>Gravity Manipulation:</em>Xorn’s black hole gives him gravitational senses which allow him to manipulate gravity for a variety of purposes including warping of gravitational fields to make the environment heavy or light, moving objects in a manner like telekinesis, allow Shen to levitate and fly, or to redirect his own personal gravity to allow him to run or move on walls or celing.<br/><br/>He is also able to use gravity to make opponents feel heavier or to lighten gravity for allies. Xorn can also adjust gravity to anchor himself to the ground or other surfaces or crush objects by wrapping them in a gravitational field.<br/><br/><em>Natural State Reversal:</em>Like his twin brother Xorn can reverse the state of the star in his mind. However where his brother could collapse his star in upon itself to form a black hole, Shen is able to cause his black hole to flare up into a sun for brief moments. This allows him to emit a blinding light or fire blasts of plasma from the apertures in his helmet.<br/><br/><em>Self-Sustenance:</em>Due to the nature of his powers Shen doesn’t require to breathe, he also doesn’t require food or water to live.<br/><br/><em>Healing:</em>Shen Xorn is able to heal people, understand the nature of their injuries, and provide minor healing effects. Not at the level of more dedicated healers, at best he can heal broken bones, cuts, etc. He is not able to cure diseases, though he can identify the nature of one’s disease and make recommendations. Shen also can’t raise the dead.<br/><br/><em>Limited Telepathy:</em>Shen is able to communicate telepathically with people, he can also gleam unprotected surface thoughts of individuals within his line of sight. In the case of other telepaths, Shen is only able to communicate at the moment as he isn’t skilled enough to pick up any other thoughts.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>ADVANTAGES:</strong></span>(limit of total 'advantages' is ten for original characters. Examples of advantages: Noble, perceptive, knows multiple languages, brave, detail oriented, willful, charismatic, etc.<br/><br/><em>Multi-Lingual:</em>Shen studied other languages while imprisoned. He can speak all official languages of China, including Hong Kong. He has also learned English, Japanese and was starting to learn Russian.<br/><br/><em>Telepathic Resistance:</em>Due to the nature of his mind it is hard for telepaths to enter. Experienced telepaths will find the task difficult, but possible, however a novice telepath will find it a most daunting chore.<br/><br/><em>Helpful:</em>Xorn is always happy to lend a helping hand or listen to another persons problems.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">DISADVANTAGES:</span></strong>(also known as character flaws. Wolverine is brutish and unfriendly, Cyclops can't use his eyes, Xavier can't walk, and Rogue can't touch anyone. All characters need flaws and shortcomings, torture your creation!! It's fun. Minimum of two for all characters, more is suggested.)<br/><br/><em>Pacifist:</em>Xorn is a pacifist at heart and only resorts to violence as a last resort. One can try to take advantage of this.<br/><br/><em>Containment Helmet:</em>He wears a mask that contains the effects of the quantum singularity. Similar to the suit worn by Havok or the visor worn by Cyclops, the helmet keeps Shen’s powers regulated and in check. Without the mask, Shen’s head would appear like a mini black hole and his full power would be unleashed.<br/><br/><em>Obvious Mutant:</em>Shen can’t hide his mutation as the manifestation of his powers destroyed most of his head.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>SKILLS:</strong></span><br/><br/><em>Martial Artist:</em>Shen is skilled at various Asian martial arts. He’s trained in Shaolin, Dragon and Hung Ga.<br/><br/><em>Buddhist:</em>Shen is a practicing Buddhist and is familiar with the tenets, rules, mantra, etc. of the religion. At heart, Shen is a pacifist, but understands the need to engage in some violence as and X-Man, to defend himself, others and further the dream of Charles Xavier.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">HISTORY:</span></strong><br/>Shen And Kyan-Yi were twin brothers raised in the Qinghai province in western China. They lived a simple life in the village outside the capital of Xining. Raised and living an uneventful life, they were raised by hard working Chinese peasants. Living the simple life, he and his brother were very different. While Shen was the weaker and shier brother, Kyan-Yi was more the stronger athletic twin and enjoyed playing sports. There both received minimal education, but for the Xorn brothers, their education was through observing the world.<br/><br/>Upon reaching puberty, both brother's realized their mutancy. Unfortunately the birth of their powers was a devastating effect. Both brothers had stars for brains. The birth of their powers destroyed their family, friends, and their village. They came to the attention of the Chinese communist government who split the brothers up and held them in different facilities and with minimal contact. They were fashioned containment helmets that held their powers in check. Shen was kept in isolation for his teen years and into his twenties and it was not until a small crack in the containment helmet causes his powers to fluctuate and destroy the military base that he was held at.<br/><br/>However, Cerebro also detects Xorn and a group of X-Men are dispatched to deal with him. Upon arrival they find that area of China having an unusual gravity field, upon investigation they find Xorn. One of the X-Men uses their powers to stabilize Xorn, while the others dispatch the Eight Immortals and the Chinese army in search of a new containment helmet for Xorn. Xorn's powers are suddenly stabilized and he is taken to the Xavier Institute where it is determined that he is not his evil twin brother. Xorn is invited to join the X-Men, when they are attacked by the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. To defeat them, Xorn absorbs them into his black hole. Having experience the death of Marilyn, the Institute chef, and Sammy, a mutant student, and forced to absorb the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Shen takes time off from the X-Men to adjust to their lifestyle. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants returned having been teleported to Mojoverse. He returned to China to meditate and has since returned to the Xavier Institute to teach their special students and rejoin the X-Men.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">OTHER NOTES:</span></strong>While Xorn doesn’t need to eat or drink, he still is able. It’s unknown what happens to the food and drink after it enters Shen’s body however. The jaw of his containment helmet is also able to open and close like a normal mouth, though Xorn prefers to leave it closed and communicate via telepathy as it’s unsettling for most to catch glimpses of what’s left of his head through the jaw of his helmet.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Xorn's Theme</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc9p4N8QBaw</div></div><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">Played By: Sasquatch421</span></div>
