[url]Character Name: Bishop<br/>Real Name:  Lucus Bishop<br/>Age: 28<br/>Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual<br/>Height: 6’1”<br/>Weight: 230#<br/>AFFLIATION: The Xmen, X-Temporal Soldiers<br/><br/>Appearance/Costume:<br/>(http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/2/22749/453294-b.jpg)<br/>(http://comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bishop-x-men-days-of-future-past.jpg)<br/><br/>Physical Description: 6’1 Chocolate Skin, Pecan Brown Eyes, large features. Generally wears sunglasses as his eye might glow white or even red when his powers kick in.  Will have a Dark ‘M’ Manifest when his energy powers kick in.  Has a muscular build as he works out regularly.<br/><br/>History: Luke is a cop that discovered his powers much later in life.  He has been on the force for a while.  He has been having visions of a distant future in which mutants are being hunted.  He hasn’t realized this is when his astral form surfaces and when it does, it manifests itself as a dark ‘M’ tattoo over his right eye and forehead.  He isn’t sure what all of this means but he has kept the visions under wraps so far.  He has been secretly helping other mutants out when he can.  He likes being a cop, but is perhaps looking for something more.  Having gotten involved with the Xmen of his own timeline he seemed to get caught in a battle between his group and the Exiles.   The battle ended with him being exchanged with another and being displaced not only within the time stream but also seemingly across dimensions.  He now seemed to be in this place and time where this timelines Bishop not only wreaked havoc with the timelines but also betrayed his team.  Which now leaves him in the proverbial leerch on if he will do the same thing.  He realized he may be just as alone as his predecessor in this time…..wanting to help yet fear of not being trusted because he is not that man.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Powers/Abilities/Special Skills:<br/><br/>•       Energy Absorption: Bishop's mutant ability enables him to absorb all forms of radiant or conductive energy that are directed towards him and to release that energy from his hands.  He is also able to absorb magic energy (as seen when fighting "growing men" in Limbo) and the psychic energies of psionics as easily as all the other kinds.  However, this does not prevent him from being read or manipulated by a telepath but only sustains him and helps him to slow them down. It has been clearly stated that Bishop is also able to absorb and process kinetic energy similarly to Sebastian Shaw, but in a much less effective way. (This power is passive, allowing Bishop to absorb energy at all times.)<br/><br/>•       Energy Blast: he can release it in many different forms, usually as concussive blasts of biokinetic energy, even amplified compared to the absorbed amount.<br/><br/>•       Energy Channeling: Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases additional bodily functions:<br/><br/>o       Enhanced Strength<br/><br/>o       Regeneration<br/><br/>o       Temporary Invulnerability.<br/><br/>•       Energy Resistance: His powers make it difficult to harm him with energy-based attacks; however, he can become overloaded from absorbing too much energy, though his upper limits are unknown, even to himself.  He is, however, partially vulnerable to non-energy weapon attacks. If he were to be shot by a projectile weapon or hit with a crowbar, it could harm him. He carries guns that fire laser beams and plasma charges, and through which he can channel his personal energies.<br/><br/>•       Astral Self:  He can "let his spirit go". It's unknown if this is a mutant talent, or an ability taught to Bishop sometime in his life.<br/><br/>•       Temporal Awareness: He has also demonstrated the ability of instinctively knowing where he is and the present hour and date even if asleep. Although being the great-grandson of Gateway, a mutant possessing extensive dealings with time travel, this aspect is not one of Bishop's mutant powers. Bishop's explanation is that due to training, he knows where he is at all times.<br/><br/>•       Martial Combat: Bishop is a highly athletic man, an excellent hand-to-hand combatant with many years of armed and unarmed combat training, and a superb marksman with firearms.<br/><br/>·         Weapons Tinkering: Bishop has an innate ability to how things work.  So far this has only been applied or seems to work on weapons, even things he sees with his future sight.<br/><br/><br/><br/>UNKNOWN/Future ability:<br/><br/>•       Density Manipulation – Self:  His powers have been revealed as density control.  Bishop then reduced his own density (or increased that of the air around him) and floated to the ground.<br/><br/><br/><br/>WEAKNESSES:<br/><br/>Energy Quota - Bishop has a limit to what he can release, once that limit has been release.  Will require some outside power source for a recharge jump start if you will.<br/><br/>Pessmistic – He has yet to see the silver lining in anything.  He can and may on occasion have fun but will normally see it coming to an end most of the time something far dreadful happening to bring about said end.<br/><br/>Isolative – He is a loner by nature, not really a team player.  Whether it Is the lack of trust by his time.  Or not wanting to become the person they all believe him to be.  He doesn’t want to be alone…but he is.
