				<strong>Name</strong>: Bartholomew Drew Warner<br><br><strong>"Keeper"</strong><br><br><strong>Age</strong>: Twenty Four<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br><strong>Race</strong>: Caucasion, mutt. Mostly Spanish<br><br><strong>Mutation</strong>: Keeper has a modest control over dimensional shifting. His will and his physical body bends the fabric of space. He (cannot) bend space/time. His force simply moves beyond it. This includes any object he's holding. Though, he prefers to use his bare hands. Keeper technically teleports when his mutation takes affect, but he (cannot) place himself into another place all together, and then stay there. It seems to be impossible.<br><br><strong>Effective Power</strong>: Keeper can punch an empty space in front of him, and hit some one two miles away as if they were placed directly in front of his fist. Like Nightcrawler, he can only hit some one if he sees them. <br><br>Everything is a projectile for him, so he doesn't use grenades, throwing knifes or guns. For; the moment that the projectile leaves contact with his body (bullet, shrapnel, knife), he can no longer control them, and he ends up just being a human with a weapon at arms.<br><br>His will seems to dictate his power, almost as if his mass is increasing as he wishes. Essentially, the harder he wants to hit something, the harder he will hit it. His limitations are many, as he can't control his emotions as well as he needs to in order to continue the path of his mutation.<br><br>At later stages, he will be a level 4 telekenetic/dimensional manipulator, with the ability to move and adjust anything he can physically see; providing his body is capable of moving. A true telepathic mutant could stop his body from moving and completely prevent him from using his power.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i50.tinypic.com/2uyneig.jpg)</div><strong>Physical Description</strong>: He is thin, and his limbs are longer than they are bulky. However, his upper body is well toned, and he is flexible. Before he realized that he was a mutant, Bart participated in soccer, track-field, and basketball. He is six feet, three inches tall, and almost 200 pounds of long muscle. <br><br><strong>Personality/Clothing style</strong>: Bart likes to dress in semi-casual suits. He is very much a business man, he is intelligent, well-spoken, and he is fast at solving problems. Bart enjoys talking with people, and keeping company with confident members of the society. He aims to have a clean, non-intimidating persona. His clothes always fit him well, and they are more expensive than they appear to be.<br><br><strong>Emotional Type/"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description</strong>: A heavy yellow leather jacket protects Keeper from flames, distant bullets, and other variant dangers. He wears a thick royal blue leotard one-piece over his shoulders, all of the way down his arms and to the middle of his thighs. He covers his legs with a heavy royal blue combat slacks with yellow stitching. Add Yellow gloves and Yellow boots, a large x on his chest that closes when he zips, buttons, and latches it together.<br><br>Keeper wears a mask that resembles a pilot's gear. His combat helmet is lighter than a bicycle helmet, but it protects him as well as thirty pound metal helmet. Which, isn't much. It's mostly to hold his goggles in place. His goggles are technologically geared into a computer on his belt. There are buttons on his head similar to Cyclops, but they control a series of lenses that give him a pair of hands-free binoculars. as well as night vision, and two sets of&nbsp; infrared lenses. <br><br><strong>Relevant History</strong>: Bart was just a regular kid. He played sports without much trouble. He was naturally talented, and he worked hard enough to stay a step ahead of the competition in athletics and curiculars. He was handsome, and he was a bit of a heartbreaker. Bart had low self-esteem and he never figured he was good enough to be with the girls that gave him attention. He was also occupied with other activities. He had a large group of friends due to his success at sports and otherwise. <br><br>This all changed at the end of his soccer season, Junior year. Bart played the Keeper position on the field. It was an important game, one that would keep their season going forward if they won, and one that would end the season if they lost. He found himself out of position, already down by two goals. The other team had been taking advantage of his weaknesses the whole game, and one more goal would end it with only twenty two minutes left in regulation.<br><br>The opponents had another run at the goal, three on two, plus the Keeper. The passed well, and crossed the field, Bart was way out of position. A shot was sent into the high opposite corner, and there was only a small chance of him being able to leap fast enough to block the shot.<br><br>Bart jumped, and sent his hands high. The ball defelcted away from the goal without his ever touching the ball. Over 2,000 people witnessed his mutation. Suspitcions stirred into the stadium, and Bart lost control of his own mind on the field. He ended up hitting and running into a number of people that he never made any contact with. There were camera's and phone recordings of him, and he was quickly identified as a dangerous mutant, fodder for the media. <br><br>Xavier had been watching him ever since, that was four years ago. <br><br>The two of them have been working together ever since.<br><br><strong>Fears</strong>: will come later, in a hurry to go to work<br><br><strong>Other</strong>: will come later, in a hurry to go to work

His mind taps into this dimension called The Server, and through The Server, Jay can access any network and electronic device on the planet. Of course, much like a computer, he has to literally search for the data he's trying to steal/borrow. He can hack and control electronic devices through technopathy, and he can also download information and weapons that can be saved into his memory and that his body will transform to mimic. Jay is capable of performing out-of-body experiences where his soul, or, he doesn't quite understand what to call it, will literally swim through the Internet; and he can appear on someone's television, phone, or even radio. He can even project his voice through electronic radio/communication devices if he ever needs to get in contact with someone for emergency purposes.<br>&nbsp;<br>Powers in-depth:<br>&nbsp;<br><em><span class="bbc_u">Bio-mechanical Transformation</span>: </em> In order for Jay to use his mutant powers, he must first transform into a being that he has called, "Vulcan." As Vulcan, his appearance is hardly different. Turquoise, glowing channels appear on his body, running down his arms, legs, sides, and up and down his torso. Whenever he's accessing The Server, Jay will stand immobile as his eyes turn black and information begins to flood them like small, round, computer screens. He will stand in this immobile and silent state until he has finished searching, downloading, or communicating with whatever he needs to communicate with.<br>&nbsp;<br><em><span class="bbc_u">Technopathy</span>: </em> As Vulcan, Jay has the ability to control all electronics and machines. He can hack them and reprogram them to have them perform whatever function he wants. This ability also aids him in his creation to make extraordinary machines, gadgets, and devices such as androids that help him around the lab. He can create specialized software by mentally writing the code, which he describes it's like writing a letter to someone in a foreign language. Upon receiving the letter, the computer will either accept or reject the letter depending on its level of security. In such cases, Vulcan will have to personally enter the network to do battle with the computer's security program.<br>&nbsp;<br><em><span class="bbc_u">Cyber Projection</span>: </em>Jay is unable to explain how he is able to do this, but he can leap into The Server and travel through the network to find any computer on the planet. He can also use The Server to invade a program as a virus and corrupt, edit, or delete the computer's code. Through this form of self-projection, he can appear on screens or project his voice through any electronic radio/communication device.<br>&nbsp;<br><em><span class="bbc_u">Download: </span></em> The Server is a hub of information that is free for him to download. Once downloaded, the information can be saved into his memory or he can harness the information in the form of a program. The most common programs Jay will download are combat programs either weapons or martial arts programs. As previously mentioned, whenever Jay accesses The Server, he will be unable to move until he has downloaded the program or accomplished whatever mission he needs to achieve. After downloading the program, Jay can edit the program to suit his needs, which has him create some killer devices such as blaster cannons. His arms are the most common limbs to robotically transform into the form of twin cannons, but Jay has been known to expel missiles from his mouth and torso. <br></span></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Image 2</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(http://imageshack.us/a/img571/382/jay1c.png)</div></div></div><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Effective Power</strong>: Potential 4 if he improves his self-esteem.<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Jay has very poor fashion sense. He wears sweater-vests, dress-shirts, bow-ties of various colors, suspenders, khakis, buffed shoes not made for any sort of active activity, and black, thick-framed glasses. He is 5'8" and 145 lbs, slender with pale skin as though he doesn't eat much or get outdoors enough. His hair is dark-brown and his eyes are greyish-green.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Despite being a nerd............nevermind. Jay is probably the nerdiest man anyone will ever meet. His jokes are nerdy, his mannerisms are geeky, and he can be overall socially awkward. In fact, he hates going to large, over-crowded places because he feels he stands out like a sore thumb. Throughout his life, he's never been able to master fitting-in. He was always the weak, timid, boy who tries not to piss off or get into fights with the school bully and will willing surrender his lunch money if it means he doesn't have to tape his glasses back together. He was the nervous boy, approaching the hottest girl in school, and trying to gather the wits to simply say hello. Having been used for homework and projects, in the end, he never got the girl, which made him more reserved and develop this attitude that nobody is really interested in anything he has to personally say. So he tends to stick only to business. <br>&nbsp;<br>Now as a successful computer technician and engineer, he was able to build some pride around his MIT degrees. He knows he's the best there is, and when it comes to computers that will probably be the only subject he'll feel confident enough to brag about.<br>&nbsp;<br>What made Jay join the X-men was to be around people who he believes are like him. If not socially awkward, they know they are different and can't associate with humans. He is hoping to find a place where he's not only accepted for his brains, but for who he is as a person. He also wants to become a better person. To no longer be "afraid" and to build some sort of backbone.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description</strong>: Jay wears simply a blue suit with yellow boots and gloves, and an X-men belt with the red and black emblem and belt strap.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Relevant History</strong>: Jay is the youngest child of his Michigan family. He has an older sister, Lara, and a brother, Jason, who have picked on him his whole life for being so different. Jason and Lara were both into sports, Jason being the all-star high school quarterback and his sister being a captain on the cheerleading team. Jay's only competition was battling for Valedictorian. Of course, nobody cared much for his speech when he graduated. He never went to prom and he never participated in any of the school events such as homecoming. Instead, he stayed at home in front of his computer and fostered his fascination with computers.<br>&nbsp;<br>His brother went into college football and his sister cheerleading at the University of Michigan. Jay on the other hand pursued his dreams at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He enrolled in the School of Engineering and graduated with a&nbsp; B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He pursued his interest further into the graduate program, and while working on his M.S., he acquired an internship to work for SHIELD for the summer. His job was simple. Whenever they needed him to fix a problem with their servers, they would call, and SHIELD didn't call him for two months. Eventually, Jay got comfortable with them paying him and never calling him until one day, he was awakened one morning by an actual summons. He was blindfolded and escorted to the lab where they kept the machine. Apparently, their best technicians couldn't figure out what was wrong with the machine. With having only two hours to find the problem since SHIELD needed their systems back online immediately, Jay ran several tests until he had to disobey SHIELD and the technicians who were helping him and open up the massive super computer. What he found inside was a literal rat in the system, gnawing at the wires. Crawling through the machine, he tried to catch the creature only to have it evade his grasp each time. A severed wire happened to fall against his hand, and Jay lit up like a Christmas tree. The SHIELD technicians were startled by the accident. Jay was eventually pulled from the machine in what was dubbed to be a coma as the SHIELD technicians took the credit for finding the rat and making Jay sound like a simple-minded intern. Of course, Jay was watching them the entire time, trapped in the SHIELD network and unable to return to his body.<br>&nbsp;<br>Jay learned to navigate The Server as he followed his body to the hospital SHIELD had left him in. It was only after five days that he luckily found his way back into his body. Since his mutation, Jay was unable to complete his masters. He understood machines more than human logic could comprehend and deem possible. His thesis made no sense to the board, so instead of trying to re-pursue his degree, Jay left and got a mere network security job at a small, business company. Rotting in front of a computer screen, his life no longer having a purpose, he stumbled across information about a man named Professor Xavier, and thus led him to the X-men. <br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Fears</strong>: Jay is afraid of offending others and so he tries to be very careful with his words. If he feels that he has said something offensive, he will be quick to explain and defend himself from sudden anxiety. He doesn't like to fight, but after having joined the X-men, he feels that he's fighting for the side of good. In such cases, he isn't afraid to use his powers to defend his team, but still when the odds are against him, Jay can be quick to cower, give up, and "flight" rather than fight. He is easily manipulated into bad situations. Whatever keeps him from getting himself hurt.<br>&nbsp;<br>When it comes to attractive girls, Jay won't even bother. Immediately, he dubs them to be out of his league, and even if they did find some sort of <em>nevergoingtohappeninhislife</em> interest in him, he doesn't think it'll last for long. He's a nerd and he's learned to proudly accept it in the most shameful way possible.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Other</strong>: If any characters have a request for any specialized or custom gadgets, don't be afraid to ask Jay to craft it. If it breaks in battle, just take it to Jay for repair. He can make almost anything, thus is why his codename is Vulcan.</span></span>

				<strong>Name</strong>: Cherise 'Shard' Haveston<br><strong>Age</strong>: 21<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br><br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Standing about 5'4", Shard still has the lithe frame of the gymnast she was in high school, albeit with a little more muscle and curve. She looks more or less normal - pale, creamy skin that doesn't seem to tan, eyes that seem either grey or violet, depending on her mood, set in sharp, even features. Her hair is mostly straight, worn a little past the shoulder and is a deep, even indigo blue in colour.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">"Powers, Personality and Past"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><strong>Mutation</strong>: One-way empathy, kinetic manifestation, telekinesis linked to the manifestation.<br><br><strong><em>Empathy</em></strong>: Receive-only, with a range of about a half-mile radius - more, if she lowers her shields completely. Walls shorten her range considerably, the thicker the wall, the less likely she can 'hear' through it.<br>Physical contact enhances her sensitivity, frequently bypassing her shields entirely, so she avoids it when possible.<br><br>Between her empathy and some experience reading body-language, Shard can frequently tell if she's being lied to - of course, she can't always be sure about specifics!<br><br><strong><em>Kinetic Manifestation</em></strong>: A diamond-like crystal that seems largely unbreakable (although Shard knows better - sufficient force will shatter a manifested object). At present, Shard can manifest talons and barriers at need, and can occasionally manage other, more subtle effects.<br>In fights she utilises crystalline talons, or thrown shards, backing up her rudimentary martial arts.<br><br>She's teaching herself to fly, using manifested crystalline wings. This is unholy noisy unless she is gliding - or falling.<br><br><strong>Effective Power</strong>: 3<br><br><strong>Personality/Clothing style</strong>: She gives off an approachable, down-to-earth air - someone who can be trusted not to lose their head in a crisis, without the sense of authority that might come from a more 'Alpha Wolf' personality.<br>Her preferred mode of dress ranges from leather-and-lace goth to 'military surplus' without any warning, and tends to be stuff she can move in.<br><br><strong>Emotional Type/"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description</strong>: A mock-neck navy-blue sleeveless leotard with a subtle tone-on-tone 'x' pattern woven into the fabric, trimmed in black and gold. With it, she wears black fingerless gloves covering her arms from knuckle to elbow, and over-the-knee black or navy boots with the same kind of trim.<br><br><br><strong>Relevant History</strong>: What is known, is that Shard comes of an affluent background, and occasionally, her speech patterns show this, but she no longer answers to 'Cherise' - as far as Shard is concerned, that girl died when she left home.<br>That was at the not-so-tender age of sixteen, after a disasterous Prom - the one time (that she knows about for sure) Shard has truly lost control of her powers - that one was in the papers, with a couple of people dead, and several injured.<br>What isn't known, is that her father disowned her more or less on the doorstep that very same night, leaving her to her own devices with nothing but the clothes on her back. Luckier than some, Shard managed to find someone willing and able to teach her control, or at least, discipline enough to get control on her own.<br><br>Most recently, Shard has found herself in the role of guardian and protector for two younger mutants, one of whom is in great demand for her powers, and it's because of her, and the other girl, Shard's younger sister, that Shard has come to Xavier at all. With their arrival, much of her responciblity for the pair has been removed. <br><br><strong>Fears</strong>:<br>Failure, mice, closed spaces - and most especially, losing control.<br><br><strong>Other</strong>:<br>Most of her discipline comes from spending four years being a student of practical martial arts, with a little tai-chi and Reiki to aid focus. She's no expert, but the foundations are laid, and she spends a lot of time practicing. <br>She also frequently makes a point of being listening-post, sounding board and occasionally shoulder to cry on if she gets the impression someone needs one - she doesn't judge, and she doesn't share anything she learns.<br></div></div><br>

The first power he ever used, thought it was on accident, by discharging all the stored electricity in his body Striker can release a bolt of lightning or act as a Tesla coil for a short period of time.<br>-The "Shocker": By charging his fists with electricity Striker is able to deliver powerful punches with "shocking" results.<br><br>His powers all suffer from the same limits as regular electricity. (i.e. a rubber bouncy ball could stop his lightning and a hand wearing a rubber glove could catch his fist.<br><br>Physical Description: Standing at 5' 10" he might not be the tallest person in the room, but you can bet his electric blue eyes will stand out. He has a thin build, but not lanky.&nbsp; He is average weight. He has sandy blond hair and sharp facial features.<br><br>Personality/Clothing style: Zane likes to dress in casual. He typically wears a jacket and a pair of jeans with a t-shirt. He hates wearing formal wear and normally wears cowboy boots. He isn't a slacker, he just doesn't like of constricting clothes can be. He is a jester and has a hard time taking things seriously. He is a cowered and will often start to run if things seem bad. He is willing to help others, but has a very "Me first" outlook in rough situations. He also happens to be a flirt, which brings about him pulling pranks on others to impress women, thought it doesn't usually work.<br><br>Emotional Type/"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description: He is a cowered and a show off. His leotard has yellow gloves that have a lightning bolt that runs up his arm. Same for his boots. No helmet or hood, but a pair of goggles. The leotard is made from a special material engineered in such a fashion that it is able to break down in to electricity when he does. The left wrist has a special counter that shows how far above the average electricity count of a normal person he is and how close he is to max power. Additionally the device is attached to wires that feed from small metal plates on his fingers, letting him transfer electricity from outlets and large sources to fuel his powers without expending his inner power.<br><br>Relevant History: Zane was always messing with something. If he wasn't taking apart the radio he was figuring out how the remote control worked. He lived with his mother and father, his mother staying home to raise him and his older sister while his dad worked at the power plant. <br>His father was the director of nuclear operations and as a result wasn't home often. Zane wanted to be just like his dad, however as he grew up things started to change. He started hanging out with groups of people who he shouldn't have. He ended up having to transfer schools after he was expelled for causing a circuit malfunction during his sophomore year of high school and ended up having to go to school with his cousins in Boston, Massachusetts. He hated the change in weather from warm South Carolina to the cold of Boston, but what hurt worse was leaving his friends. On the flight up he was forced to leave the plain after there was a massive electrical malfunction that no one could explain. Strangely, after he was back in the airport the error stopped. The passengers all climbed on again and the error happened again. Finally after checking all the people on board for some kind of jamming device they decided to cancel the flight and gave the passengers a refund. As he took out his phone to find out when a bus would be coming he was “shocked” when the phone not only fully charged in his hand, but then proceeded to explode. Lucky the parking lot was mostly filled with empty cars. As he ran he felt warm and noticed that the close he had on were on fire. That’s when he noticed the lightning. Arcs of electricity were bouncing all around the parking lot off of cars and off of him, well more like “from” him.&nbsp; He had to strip off all of his close and hide before changing into a set of extra close he had packed. After the electrical “storm” in the parking lot he collected his thoughts and asked the people at the bus stop when the next bus would be by. He noticed that across the road was a sex shop. For a moment he considered going in and getting a rubber suit just in case, but shook the thought from his head. From that day on he had a number of different incidents that let to him receiving the nickname “The shock master” in college. Finally one day he was on the internet and saw a video: “Alright guys, check this out.” The teen in the video whispered. He backed up from the camera and took a fighting stance. After a few seconds he exploded in a green gas and picked up the camera. “So apparently some people have been popping up lately with weird abilities. I'm standing in a room of poisonous gas and I created it. Not only that, but I'm not even bothered by what could kill someone else. Dudes, we are superheros! If you've got powers like these, don't hide them, its our time! Do what you want man, Rock out with your mother f****** c*** out!” Then the video ended. Zane shook his head and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He went into the basement of the dorm he was in and took out the Tesla coil he and some friends built to play music. “Alright, this will work or I'm going to need a wheelchair for the rest of my life.” He started acting like he was trying to throw things at it, trying to get the electricity to come out of him. At first nothing happened and he turned away, but then he had an idea. He ran up and punched the big metal contraption. He heard a snap and then a bright light blinded him for a second before he realized that he had done it. He forced his powers to work. This began a long time of practice and work at figuring out how his gifts worked.<br><br>Fears: Being buried alive or stuck in space.<br><br>Other: If you haven't figured it out yet the “Shock master” nickname is a sex joke. <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

				<strong>Name</strong>: Corwin ‘Corey’ Reynolds, Seraph<br><br><strong>Age</strong>: 27<br><br><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br><br><strong>Race</strong>: Human, Mutant, American<br><br><br><br><strong>Mutation</strong>: Corwin’s body generates a unique form of energy field, the particles of which most readily manifest themselves as contiguous ‘hard’ energy constructs. Essentially, the energy behaves more or less like matter, conforming to similar laws of conservation and force, but can be manipulated by Corey consciously and subconsciously at will. This includes retaining cohesion with itself and Corey, meaning that he cannot ‘emit’ the energy at any sort of distance from his body. Presently, Corey’s body generates, roughly thirty cubic feet worth of energy, which Corey can’t generally turn ‘off’ except under conditions of exhaustion. Generally it reflects a shade of golden orange light, but with concentration, Corwin can cause it to reflect most colors in the visual spectrum.<br><br><strong>Effective Power</strong>: A level 4 mutant, Corwin’s energy manipulation offers him a wide array of abilities, depending on how much he concentrates on the refinement of his abilities. The energy projections mirror Simple shapes require little to no effort or concentration on his part, but the more complex the shape, the more he must focus on ‘crafting’ it. With practice and familiarity with any given shape or form however, comes the potential to create it intuitively (such is the case with his ‘costume’ and select other offensive and defensive tools at his disposal). The energy mirrors the molecular structure of any matter Corey seeks to emulate, so it can be rigid, crystalline, elastic, malleable, or any variation thereof (liquid and gaseous forms yet escape him given their propensity to disperse). Again though, the more complex the arrangement, the more Corwin must focus, so simple rigid forms or fibers come most readily to him.<br><br>Generally, Corwin uses his power to form simple constructs like blades or bludgeons or shields and other implements, emulating the molecular structure of a hard ceramics or metals to great effect. Since the constructs obey his will, they are effectively weightless to Corey, and thus he can use them to great effect in combat against foes, reshaping them as need suits him.<br><br>It is possible for Corey, through supreme effort of will, to force his constructs back into a more natural state of energy. Doing so however means relinquishing his conscious control over the field, and given the matter to energy conversion ratio, the result tends to be a massive uncontrolled release of raw energy (an explosion). It is conceivable that Corey could create a construct capable of directing said energy at the same time he released it, resulting in a channeled energy blast or effect, but thus far it remains beyond his abilities.<br><br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Corey stands just high enough to be considered tall, with thick auburn curls and bright green eyes that give him a very open and outgoing countenance.&nbsp; Trim, with broad shoulders and an agile bearing, everything about Corey speaks to an understated strength and athleticism.<br><br><strong>Personality/Clothing style</strong>: Corwin strives towards the sort of polite, subtle enthusiasm and cordiality that conjures to mind a particular sort of old-world gentry. He is an excellent listener and mediator, giving every indication of a most impartial and devoted individual to the idea of human/mutant relations. Corwin is rarely found in dress without a collar: polos, dress shirts, or the jersey of whatever sport currently holds his attention (depending on what’s in season), are coupled with slacks and loafers and tennis shoes. <br><br><strong>Emotional Type/"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description</strong>: “In-Uniform” Seraph strikes an entirely different character. As a citizen, he believes in civility and moderation, but when diplomacy fails, his underlying ire and furor boil over into a nigh zealotry in defense of his fellow mutants.&nbsp; Wearing a form fitting royal blue leotard, his own power provides the yellow contrast in the form of padding and armor which Corwin varies to suit his needs. Clad in glowing armor and wielding weapons seemingly made of light, Corwin exemplifies his vengeful namesake.<br><br><strong>Relevant History</strong>: Born the scion and oldest son of an old money blue blooded Boston family, Corey was anything but the humble, understated man of mediation while growing up. He grew up wanting for nothing; spoiled, but only so long as he maintained the pinnacle of performance in sports and school and social activities, he was a veritable prince all through adolescence. Which is why it came as such a shock to his equally proud and vain parents when they learned their son had been struggling to suppress latent mutant abilities. Corwin’s powers first developed as a purely subconscious ability to direct his energy field,&nbsp; minute extension of his imagination which he managed to keep subdued, hiding it with smaller constructs only a few grams in mass. When his power began to develop in earnest however ballooning into larger and less manageable forms, he became forced to seek help. Attempting to keep his inquiries quiet, he discovered Xavier’s institute, but in attempting to convince his parents to send him there, he became frustrated, belligerent even as his parents insisted he attend ‘only the best’, obstinate in their concerns regarding certain rumors surrounding the institute. In a fury, Corey’s powers manifested before his parents and sibling’s eyes, glowing constructs which could no longer be hidden beneath clothes or as mundane objects.<br><br>Corwin got his wish in being able to attend Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, the parents setting up a not inconsiderable trust with the school before sending him away, and cutting all other ties. Initially embittered, he sought means to suppress or ‘cure’ his powers, but his efforts only lead to further and further frustration.&nbsp; It was Professor X himself who found the outlet for Corey’s frustration and the means by which to truly learn to control and develop his unique abilities: Sports. The same activities to which he had aspired as a ‘normal’ child proved most effective, as he learned to relate to his fellow mutants through competition and games, taking the lead on every sport the institute offered, slowly but surely developing his abilities towards whatever equipment the game at hand called for. Learning to win and lose with grace was a hard lesson for Corey, but one he took dearly to heart, and influences him even now as he still views the world in terms of ‘on’ and ‘off’ the court.<br><br><strong>Fears</strong>: Corwin seldom lets his fears show through, and has developed a reputation for unflappability, but deep down he is still very much afraid of what others think of him as a mutant, and that despite all his efforts he may never change their minds.

She is currently capable of breaking solid concrete with her blasts.&nbsp; The emission can only travel through air, and is generated from her wings which do not need to be fully unfolded to create the emission.<br><br>-<em>Wing Manifestation</em>:&nbsp; Cassandra has a pair of iridescent wings that are a part of her normal skeleton.&nbsp; The wings seem to grow and attach to her clavicle, scapula, and first and second ribs.&nbsp; The wings naturally fold flush against her back and have the appearance of a multicolored, chaotic and random looking tattoo when folded against her body.&nbsp; Her wings allow her to fly at speeds up to 60mph and are capable of carrying an additional 200 lbs. of weight while keeping Cassandra aloft.<br>-<em>Enhanced Agility, and Reflexes</em>: Her wings and size manipulation allow for increased body coordination.&nbsp; This is most notably seen in an enhancement of her agility and reflexes.&nbsp; The enhancement to agility and reflexes only occurs when flying. <br><strong>Effective Power Level</strong>: 3<br><br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Cassie is naturally 5’5’ and 120 lbs.&nbsp; She sports a young, lean, and athletic look with an obvious Irish heritage.&nbsp; Her red hair is wavy and long, usually falling past the shoulder, and helps accentuate her pale complexion and honey brown eyes.&nbsp; She has a soft, genuine, and easy smile that just touches her eyes.&nbsp; She typically wears blouses, shirts or dresses that leave her upper back bare.&nbsp; This reveals her wings, which when folded flush to her back, appear to be a multicolored, beautiful, yet random tattoo which never quite seems to line up the same way twice.<br><br><strong>Clothing style</strong>: Blouses, shirts, or dresses that leave her upper back bare.<br><br><strong>”Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description</strong>: Her costume is a backless and sleeveless blue body suit with a large golden X upon the torso and a collar that secures the suit around her neck.&nbsp; She wears golden colored gloves that approach her elbow and quarter length blue pants tucked into thigh high black boots.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Like many young mutants, or even young people, Cassandra displays a wounded self-esteem.&nbsp; &nbsp;She is often rebellious and wild, and enjoys taking unnecessary risks.&nbsp; Despite her issues, she is a spunky, flirtatious, young woman who usually can be counted upon when the situation calls for it.&nbsp; Cassie likes to appear independent and rebellious, but those who really know her realize how codependent she actually is.<br><br><strong>Relevant History</strong>: Cassie was born in a small little town located in western Michigan, just off Lake Michigan.&nbsp; She was the youngest child and only daughter to a high school English teacher and a Geologist.&nbsp; She had a happy childhood raised in a sleepy little town with a population no greater than 80,000.&nbsp; At the age of sixteen, her mother died of cancer shattering her peaceful, happy life.&nbsp; Shortly thereafter Cassie began experiencing nightmares accompanied by migraine headaches and spastic full-body convulsions.&nbsp; In an attempt to discover what was happening to his daughter, Cassie’s father admitted her to the local hospital where she was monitored.&nbsp; On the second day of her hospital stay, Cassie’s powers manifested slowly shrinking her before doctors and nurses in her hospital bed.&nbsp; It was only through the intervention of unknown parties that Cassandra wasn’t sent away to a government facility.&nbsp; The case of “the suddenly shrinking girl”, however, made national headlines.&nbsp; Unknown parties intervened on Cassie's behalf and, with their help, she was able to disappear from the public spotlight.<br><br>In the years since, Cassie’s wings have fully developed and she has begun to learn to control her abilities and has begun to come to terms with her “condition”.<br><br><strong>Fears</strong>: Being publicly ousted as a mutant, then being hunted and persecuted because of it, and having her parents injured due to what she is.<br><br><strong>Other</strong>:
