				<strong>Character Name:</strong> Simon Velvet<br><strong>Nickname(s):</strong> "Toad" and "Frog"<br><strong>Code Name:</strong> "Mr. Fixit"<br><strong>Parent(s):</strong> <br>Father- Mortimer Toynbee, AKA Toad<br>Mother- "Lady Velvet", at the time one of the most expensive prostitutes in Las Vegas<br><strong>Roll:</strong> X-Men<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Birthdate:</strong> 1/23/23<br><strong>Age:</strong> 22<br><strong>Birthplace:</strong> Las Vegas, Nevada, <br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Multiracial- Toad is Caucasian, "Lady Velvet" is half-Black and half-Chinese.<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Straight<br><strong>Dominance:</strong> Dominant<br><br><strong>Height:</strong> 6'1"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 170 lbs<br><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Green<br><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Brown<br><br><strong>Known Mutant Power(s):</strong> Inheriting his most if not all of his abilities from his father, "Mr. Fixit- The Super Bouncer of Las Vegas" has the primary ability to leap several times the height and distance of a normal person. He possesses superhuman strength, especially in his legs, along with superhuman endurance, agility, reflexes, coordination, and flexibility. His tongue is also highly elastic, durable, and prehensile. He can also secret a chemical from his skin that makes him highly adhesive to most surfaces. Beyond that, his abilities all stem from extensive training from some of the best trainers in Vegas- especially in slight of hand maneuvers, combat tactics, kick-boxing, and "spotting a con".<br><br>In what's probably the most controversial aspect of his public persona, rumors are surfacing that the success of "Lady Velvet" as the most expensive prostitute in Vegas may be due to unconfirmed mutant powers of enhanced charisma and attractiveness. What is known is that for a woman old enough to have a son in his low twenties she's aged very well, and if she has these abilities she definitely passed them on to her son. Toad was considered ugly and misshapen, but "Mr. Fixit" is said to make the ladies swoon with a glance and can sing like Sinatra to boot.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> His powers, while showy and impressive looking, aren't really all that impressive in terms of sheer power. Mostly, he succeeds in superhuman battles because he fights smarter then the other guy, not harder. He's almost more a local Vegas celebrity then an actual superhero.<br><br><strong>General Personality/Traits:</strong> Showy and charismatic- he's grown up in the Vegas lights and never wants to leave. Could have had promising careers as either a stage magician or a kick boxer, but chose to use his powers for "the good of everyone" instead. Not that he isn't a decent person, but that's some very well paid PR people talking. Does like seeing that everyone makes it through the day safe but doesn't plan on going broke while doing it either. His biggest personality flaw however is him and women- he can't get enough. His rumored list of past sexual partners includes politicians, movie stars, random ladies that happened to walk into the same casino. . .it's a list of ladies that supposedly is in the hundreds. True, he's always used protection- but god damn!<br><br><strong>History:</strong> The product of a condom break in a paid encounter between Toad and Lady Velvet, it's unknown exactly why the most expensive prostitute in Vegas kept the baby. Rumors range a lot of different directions, ranging from "Magneto threatened to kill her if she didn't at least bring it to term" to "Lady Velvet is also a mutant, she used Toad so that she had an excuse why her kid would test positive for the mutant gene".<br><br>What is known is that young Simon Velvet displayed his powers quickly, and he'd take to Vegas like a fish to water. The neon was in his blood they'd say, and almost be right. A frequent figure on the Strip, Simon would eventually learn to sing like Sinatra, make with Magic like Houdini, and most importantly- fight like the last "Mr. Fixit". Hired by the Luxor to be a super bouncer, he'd soon adapt the identity of the most famous metahuman to ever take a job as a Vegas bouncer- the Hulk when he was using his "Mr. Fixit" identity.<br><br>Soon "Mr. Fixit" would expand his territory to include other casinos- and the "Super Bouncer of Vegas" was born. Part superhero and part bouncer, the son of a joke supervillain is certainly doing very well for himself in Sin City.

				<strong>Character Name:</strong> Gwendolyn Grace<br><strong>Nickname(s):</strong> Gwen, Gigi<br><strong>Code Name:</strong> Singe (Widely known mercenary title), Starburst (Abandoned X-Men title)<br><strong>Parent(s):</strong> Scott Summers (Cyclops), Emma Frost<br><strong>Role:</strong> Independent<br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Women-Rose-Byrne-75755.jpg)<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Birthdate:</strong> June 21<br><strong>Age:</strong> 28<br><strong>Birthplace:</strong> New York<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> White<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Open<br><strong>Dominance:</strong> Switch, leaning dominant<br><br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'9"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 145<br><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Brown<br><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Brown<br><br><strong>Known Mutant Power(s):</strong> <br><em>Energy Production:</em> Inherited from her father, Gwen possesses the ability to open dimensional portals to produce beams of varying intensity. However, hers is more advanced, allowing her to open them anywhere on her body. She has also sustained no head trauma, allowing her to retain personal control over the beams without any mechanical or magical aid. This allows her much finer control over every aspect of the beam production. Gwen is also not limited only to kinetic energy bursts - indeed, she has developed the ability to summon several types of energy, greatly widening her applicability. Among her many talents are abilities such as flight via carefully controlled kinetic bursts. Skills like this do not come naturally, however.<br><em>Energy Accumulation:</em> She gathers primary energy from ultraviolet radiation, but due to her psychic abilities, can gather secondary energy from the living things in the vicinity. This can be an effective strategy against opponents, but can be devastating to the surrounding biosphere. This is a desperation ability.<br><em>Diamond Form:</em> Inherited from her mother, Gwen can instantly turn the outer inch of her body into an organic composite denser than diamond and just as resplendent. This gives her incredible superhuman strength and durability, but renders her incapable of energy production and suppresses her psychic abilities. She also seems to lose a measure of reasoning ability, turning essentially into a brute.<br><em>Telepathy:</em> Instead of honing her abilities to make them stronger, Gwen has instead devoted her life to suppressing her telepathy. Being somewhat of a misanthrope, she would rather shut people out than be able to manipulate them. However, with her mother being one of the most powerful psychics known, she has a certain amount of innate ability and boundless potential. This in fact allows her to suppress it effectively, and most psychics are unaware that she is one of them, though higher level psychics can pick her out easily.<br><em>Telekinesis:</em> A relatively new ability for Gwen, she is only beginning to practice it. At present, her talent is unwieldy at best, with unpredictable results. She discovered this ability in a moment of distress, and for now, she only uses it reflexively in battle.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Psychics more powerful or skilled than Gwen can overwhelm her defenses and take advantage of her relative inexperience. Dimensional and temporal distortions can (but do not as a rule) interfere with her ability to form her energy portals correctly. She has a measure of mutant durability, but is relatively squishy, unless she is in crystalline form. When she is in crystalline form, there is a single point that, if pierced, would cause her to shatter. However, she is still not invulnerable in that form, and concussions of sufficient force can crack the material, resulting in a wound that will remain when she turns back. Many of her energy-based abilities such as flight can be rather easily disrupted by breaking her concentration enough, as no amount of practice can make portal creation second nature to what is essentially still a human.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Born Gwendolyn Summers-Frost, she was the youngest of a long line of Summers children. However, given Scott Summers' flaky ways with women, Gwen was raised primarily by her mother. Emma Frost was a caring mother, but her mind always seemed to be on something other than Gwen, leaving the young girl feeling marginalized, and planting the seed of discontent in her heart that would plague her for the rest of her life. <br><br>Gwen grew up in the company of heroes, but never truly associated with or related to them. They were people, just like she was, but they were occupied with a particular sense of righteousness that Gwen could never grasp for herself, despite trying. It never made sense to her to value other people, strange unknown people especially, with such single-minded reverence. She could only see people for what they were, compounding her discontent and slowly turning it into a seething misanthropy.<br><br>She kept to herself, mostly, throughout her childhood. Her mother occasionally offered to train her, but Gwen wasn't interested in the half-hearted teachings of a distracted progenitor. Having long since developed the ability to amuse herself, she decided to simply suppress her inherited psychic abilities and focus on her energy production, which was far superior in potential to her father's, much to her satisfaction. Gwen developed an incredible range of applications for her talents, becoming the equivalent of a Swiss army knife in terms of energy applications.<br><br>The breadth of things she was capable of made her very attractive to contractors, leading her into the life of a mercenary. She was never the most combat-minded mutant, and was rarely called in to do any “heavy lifting” as they called it in the business, but found work to be regular and well-paying. It was also an exploitative enough occupation to sate her undercurrent of disgust. She didn't allow herself to get carried away, and was never abusive, but was also never hesitant to follow the most convenient path towards achieving any given goal, particularly if it resulted in being able to cause a little suffering and be praised for it later. Perhaps she was not evil, but she certainly reveled in schadenfreude.<br><br>From birth she was already well known as being the daughter of the long-winded romance of Cyclops and the White Queen. However, because of her strong hate of her father and general disinterest in her mother, she changed her last name from Summers-Frost to Grace, her mother's middle name, which was not well known. She wasn't about to alter her appearance, but the name change allowed her a modicum of peace from time to time.<br><br>The newly named Singe became well known in her own right in mercenary circles for her particular brand of mitigated cruelty and the flashiness inherent to her powers. Her celebrity parents and considerable reputation have made sure that she is well known in all mutant circles. Disdain has given her a special kind of extended patience via not considering most conflicts worthwhile, but she is also known for merciless brutality once her ire is awakened. Having no particular aspirations or ambitions, she can't very well be considered a direct threat to anyone, but as she is for hire, must always be considered. Gwen very much enjoys the wariness she inspires.<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b9/Rose_byrne_wall_(1).jpg)

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/787.jpg?t=1263236051)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Vanessa Hardy<br><strong>Nickname(s):</strong> Van, Nessa, Ayche (The H in Hardy)<br><strong>Code Name:</strong> N/A<br><strong>Parent(s): </strong><br><em>Mother - Felicia Hardy (Black Cat)<br>Father - Unknown (Felicia would never tell)</em><br><strong>Role:</strong> Student / Independent (Good)<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Birthdate:</strong> 2027/09/08<br><strong>Age:</strong> 18<br><strong>Birthplace:</strong> New York, New York<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Caucasian<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Straight... enough<br><strong>Dominance:</strong> Submissive<br><br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'6"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 128<br><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Hazel<br><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Platinum Blonde with Dark Brown low-lites<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/234598.jpg?t=1263236118)</div><strong>Known Mutant Power(s): </strong><br>The alleged 'Bad luck' passive ability that affects probability fields, heightened senses, incredibly athletic (gymnastics, acrobatics, parkour), durability, hand-to-hand combat, the mysterious ability to climb walls solely on her fingertips. <br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Unable to really combat any of the villains who are psychic, or can manipulate the elements. If they decide to stand up and fight her on her level, then i would be far more even, otherwise, she's going to be at a loss.<br><br><strong>General Personality/Traits:</strong> Vanessa has been, for the most part, sheltered from the life of crime fighting and superheroes. Her mother made sure to have her stay a little ways out of New York City when her innate abilities and charms were starting to show in her daughter. Thus, the girl has not been exposed to the real problems surrounding her existence and those of other mutants who are bent on eliminating the human race, or at the very least those with ideals against mutants. <br><br>Inheriting her mother's smarts, looks, and charms (among other things), Vanessa is seen as a popular child, and is not disappointed in that fact in the slightest. At times, she can be seen as a little arrogant; over confident in her abilities that it can drive the average person into jealous fits. In essence, a good girl with mischievous tendencies.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Vanessa was born in New York, New York under rather incredible circumstances. Well, the birth was as normal as any other, but having a mother who is as famous as hers for all the wrong reasons, it was quite the spectacle in the hospital. Growing up in a rather lavish home with everything one could ever really want and definitely need, the girl grew up well. Taking after her mother in the ways of athletics and never seeming to fail, Felicia, Vanessa's mother, had figured out that her daughter had caught 'the <span class="bbc_u">bug</span>' of mutant powers, and tried to nurture this in the most subtle of manners. When puberty struck, the brunt of Vanessa's powers had made itself known, and with a recent crime wave, her mother made sure to send her to live with some relatives out of Big Apple to keep her away from all of it.<br><br>For a year or so, it seemed to have worked. It was only when Vanessa read a little too far into her mother's past that her own little crime spree went under way. Being as old as she was, the teenager never went as far as banks or multi-million dollar pieces of art, but rather just homes of people she and her own group of friends didn't quite enjoy. Petty crimes turned into bigger crimes that eventually became rather boring and dull, leaving her instead to feel that her time is better spent getting rid of her 'competition'. Simply donning a black ensemble, Vanessa started her bid to become a local super heroine at the age of eighteen.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1500000/Meg-meg-ryan-1576293-1100-1382.jpg)</div>Character Name: Kate Powers<br>Nickname: Katie<br>Code Name: Energizer, Starstreak, Counterweight, Powerpax<br>Parents: James Power (Physicist), Margaret Power (Artist)<br>Roll: X-men<br>Character Model: Meg Ryan<br><br>Gender: Female<br>Birthdate: (hmm... Still 6 years old in 2009... So, Sept 21st 2003)<br>Age: 42<br>Birthplace: Maine<br>Nationality: Caucasian<br>Orientation: Bi<br>Dominance: Switch<br><br>Height: 5' 6"<br>Weight: 122 lbs<br>Eye Color: Green<br>Hair Color: Gold<br><br>Known Powers:&nbsp; Katie began her superhero career as Energizer. She could disintegrate any kind of matter, including water and air molecules, store the energy and expel it in balls of explosive energy. Katie's Energizer power was highly destructive, potentially lethal, and in various issues, was able to destroy buildings and bring down supervillains.<br><br>Other Powers: Occasionally uses the powers of her siblings, including rapid flight, gravity control, and controlling the density of her own body.<br><br>General Personality/Traits: Highly intelligent, Katie's main flaw may be her overconfidence.<br><br>History: In spite of her youth, Katie had been a key member of Power Pack, and had played major roles in most of the team's battles. In numerous instances, she had rescued the entire team, uncovered crucial information and provided critical support in missions. When the Pack encountered Master Mold, for instance, Katie saved Franklin Richards' life by flying right under the giant robot's foot. In a separate incident, Power Pack was captured by evil mutants called the Morlocks, and only Katie escaped. She managed to save her siblings with the help of some X-Men, and was given honorary status by the team. In another memorable incident, she found herself lost in a blinding snowstorm in Manhattan, where she encountered a seriously injured and disoriented Wolverine. She was able to assist him in his flight from Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers until he healed enough to neutralize his enemies.&nbsp; Since then, most of the Pack have drifted onto more regular lives.&nbsp; Her siblings all have children of their own now, and will only use their powers in dire emergencies.&nbsp; Katie has taken up the Superhero mantle more firmly, still borrowing her sibling's powers when the occasion demanded it.&nbsp; She joined the New Avengers briefly, but her connection to the X-men, and her odd friendship with Logan have remained, and she joined the main team when she turned 21. She reamins an X-man, though in these quieter days, she usually trains.&nbsp; Tactics is her subject, and her students have come to fear her danger room exercises.<br><br>Weaknessess: Energizer: Only Human strength, won't disintegrate living beings.&nbsp; (Ever.&nbsp; Even to save herself or her family... a true weakness.) Energy Blasts use up he power quickly unless she disintegrates something else, and will only use weak blasts against human targets unless the target shows resistance to the power.&nbsp; Vulnerable to all normal attacks, even a punch to the face.<br><br>Starstreak weaknesses: Only normal human strength, toughness, countered by high maneuverability, and near speed of sound velocity.&nbsp; Flight path very visible, all other human frailties present.<br><br>(The other two powers will be available least often, as both her brothers now live out of state.)<br><br>Counterweight Power weaknesses: Seemingly superhuman strength is<br>countered by the fact that a good crack to the jaw from a normal person is likely to hurt her normally if she isn't floating at the time.&nbsp; Vulnerable to pretty much everything a normal human is, though <br>with much more mobility.<br><br>Mass Master power weaknesses: High Density form is hard to hurt, (Though not at all impossible, more like rock than steel.) Can't move quickly in this form, and normal human strength plus no leverage means she's fairly helpless as a combatant, except when using the old 'jackhammer' technique, a power that isn't very useful unless a 120 pound weight falling on you is dangerous to you.&nbsp; Helpless to do more in cloud form than shield people from view, it is at least, very hard to hurt in return.<br><br>

Strong influence over other insect-related mutants.</li><li>Capable of producing pheromones to influence the emotions of others.</li><li>Able to give birth to a variety of mutant insects with enhanced strength and other unusual abilities.</li></ul><br><strong>Passive:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Immunity to poisons originating from insect species.</li><li>Reincarnation:&nbsp; If "killed", Jacqueline is able to use her former body as a cocoon and be reborn several years older than her previous state.&nbsp; Presumably, if her physical body became too old, she would come back as a child once more. </li></ul><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Insecticides and other man-made poisons.</li><li>Phobia of reptiles and large birds.</li><li>Without her insect swarms, Jacqueline is every bit as vulnerable as a normal human being.&nbsp; Being a bit "soft around the edges", she is not much of one for direct combat.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><br>Jackie has a very eccentric personality, something most likely caused by her very unusual and physically exhausting ability to give birth to "monstrosities" on a regular basis.&nbsp; She considers herself to be something of an artist playing God, with her womb as the canvas to give life to entirely new species that would otherwise never evolve in a natural environment.&nbsp; Her interest in bugs is obsessive, and she goes out of her way to avoid killing them whenever possible.&nbsp; Whenever someone purposefully stomps an insect in her presence she becomes visibly distraught, berating the individual for their "murderous tendencies".&nbsp; When one of her own brood is slain she will become overcome with grief and rage; understandably, as they are quite literally her children.<br><br>Strangely enough, she does not harbor the anti-human prejudice that seems to be a common stereotype amongst most insect-inspired super villains.&nbsp; Though holding the opinion that "her kind" are not meant to be at the bottom of the food chain, she also accepts that the consumption of insects is necessary for the balance of nature to hold strong.&nbsp; Watching a bug be eaten by some predator is enough to make her uncomfortable, but if it is for sustenance she will not intervene.&nbsp; Humans that do not go out of their way to step on "pests" are perfectly alright in her book.<br><br>Her insect-related tendencies aside, Jacqueline is not a typically nasty villain.&nbsp; She does what she must in order to survive, and is not much one for grandiose plots or slaughtering innocents.&nbsp; When "on the job" she has a tendency to fall into theatrics, even going so far as to forget the original goal of the mission in order to put on a good show and get a few laughs.&nbsp; This does not do much to put her in the good graces of her fellow "Mutant Terrorists" that continue to follow the code of Magneto, though when she is forced to concentrate the results can be absolutely terrifying.<br><br>Though generally friendly, she can be understandably difficult to approach due to the nature of her powers.&nbsp; She tends to require a great deal of personal space, particularly during "spawning periods", at which point she may hole herself up in her room for days at a time.&nbsp; When her reserves of "children" are satisfactory she can be far more social, though even her fellow mutants have a tendency to shun her.&nbsp; As a result Jackie prefers the company of the more "freakish" mutants, particularly those with inhuman appearances that have to deal with a similar amount of social stigma.&nbsp; A bit chatty and naive, she prefers to put on a warmer front instead of dwelling on her painful origins.<br><br>Her biggest vice is her weight; the constant strain of having to provide for so many creatures forces her to require plenty of food so that she doesn't waste away to nothing.&nbsp; Though certainly not fat by any means, she secretly wishes she could look like all the athletic, skinny, and "pleasing" mutants that she sees on television or during her acts of villainy.<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br><br>Though she does not speak of her mother to anyone, there are those that vaguely remember the infamous "Queen" that held New York hostage with explosives, mind controlled countless innocents, and even went so far as to mutate Spiderman into a hideous beast in order to spawn her own super powered children.&nbsp; The plan ultimately failed, and Adriana Soria was presumed to have been killed in an explosion when her plans finally came crumbling down around her.&nbsp; Jacqueline does not know the details of her mother's survival, only that she made her escape to Europe in disgrace after being severely wounded.&nbsp; Though her power of the mind remained great, her body would only grow more and more frail from disuse.&nbsp; Harboring an intense loathing for humanity and particularly Spiderman, the Queen plotted to give birth to a child that could succeed where she had failed.<br><br>Presumably the vile woman used her unnatural power to seduce some prize specimen of a man, perhaps even a fellow mutant like herself, and rape him for his seed.&nbsp; Though the Queen eventually gave birth as a result, her unusual physiology resulted in an all too fitting end for the super villainess: Jacqueline developed into that of a prepubescent child within her mother's body, eventually bursting forth in a grisly display that killed Adriana almost instantly.&nbsp; In the way of some insects her child was able to survive by sustaining herself on her own mother's body.&nbsp; <br><br>Thankfully the Queen suspected such an abnormality might occur, having remembered the near fatal incident with Spiderman years before.&nbsp; The facility in which she was housed took over immediately, the computers instructing a quickly developing mind in the ways of humanity.&nbsp; Furthermore, it indoctrinated her with a severe hatred of both Spiderman and Captain America and the way to combat them, all part of her mother's plan to unleash a weapon of vengeance upon her former enemies.&nbsp; But by the time Jacqueline was directed to the surface world, supplied with an address to a home and enough money to sustain herself, the enemies she had been raised to defeat were no longer active or even relevant.<br><br>Without any clear purpose to guide her, Jacqueline became cloistered within her inherited estate until she reached the peak of her maturity, when her first mutant abilities became manifest.&nbsp; For nearly a year she produced unspeakable creatures, transforming the house and the ground beneath it into a veritable hive, with her as its Broodmother.&nbsp; Eventually her neighbors noticed something was amiss, and when the authorities arrived all hell broke loose.&nbsp; As could be expected, the police panicked and some were immediately devoured by the insect hordes.&nbsp; Special Forces were called in, along with several well-known heroes, in order to eradicate the infestation.&nbsp; Confused and terrified she fled from her only residence, the shrieks of her children echoing in her mind.<br><br>It was some time before she came into contact with the followers of Magneto's creed in America, finally fleeing to her mother's birthplace in the hope that she might find some safe haven.&nbsp; She has plenty of horror stories to tell of her times abroad, when "home" happened to be whatever abandoned basement could be turned into a nest, and each time resulted in a similar extermination that made her increasingly desperate to find those that would understand and accept her.&nbsp; All she knew was that it would be "impossible" for her to ever become a "good guy", as she puts it.&nbsp; Though society might accept mutants, there were certain powers that the general public would always despise.&nbsp; Especially ones involving "Creepy Crawlies".&nbsp; Her longing to be accepted by society, rather than its destroyer, frequently puts her at odds with her fellow Mutant Supremacists, making her more of a Reluctant Villain than anything else.

				Character Name:Ryan Kilepura, but prefers and insists on Braddock.<br>Nickname(s):Chaos, Genocidal Maniac and a few others.<br>Code Name:Swap<br>Parent(s):<br>Mother: Psylocke (Elisabeth Braddock)<br>Father:unknown<br>Roll: Independent/Mercenary<br>Character Model:<br>(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b199/metabucket/creepy_long_haired_guy.jpg)<br><br>Gender:male<br>Birthdate:12/17/2020<br>Age:25<br>Birthplace:unknown<br>Nationality: White British American, but does not have the accent of the British.<br>Orientation: Bisexual<br>Dominance: Dominant<br><br>Height: 5 feet 10 inches<br>Weight: 210 pounds<br>Eye Color:Dark blue<br>Hair Color:Purple<br><br>Known Mutant Power(s):<br>-Immunity to psychic/telekinetic detection. He does not have any psychic powers at all.Only in effect when the light side is in control.<br>-A side effect from Psylocke gave him an unusually high resistance to magic based attacks. This effect came from a flaw in his genetics that descended from the Crimson Dawn his mother suffered from. Though he has resistance, he will never be able to learn magic at all. (If considered a power)<br>-A field around him surrounds a 100 yard radius. This field allows him to trade his non-power human side with the opponent to gain their powers for a short time. This only effects those who have the X-gene. Normally it's for 5 minutes (2 posts) down to 1 minute or in extreme cases mere seconds, but also inherits the mutants weaknesses as well. Furthermore, he can only have one power at a time. This can only be used by his evil side.<br><br>Weaknesses: With great power comes a great weakness. Depending to the strength of the other mutants power determines the time he can keep the power in his field. Furthermore, if the mutant steps out of the field and stays out for more then 15 seconds. The power returns to the owner. Due to his own self being, he continually fights himself for control of the body. His swapping ability also gives him the targets weaknesses as well making his super vulnerable as he has no mastery over mutant powers except his own so he receives the backlash. In magic, his light side is greatly effected by darkness as light greatly effects his dark side. Other then that, he is just as vulnerable as any non mutant human. Also, his swap power does damage to his own body as his X-gene is making his body reject any other mutant power and it over compensates and destroys vital body cells. About 10 years is taken off of his life span every time this happens or depends on severity and how strong the mutant power was. For magic used against him. His light side is vulnerable to dark-vased magic and it will negate his resistance and will freeze his body for a time. The light based magic affects his dark side and will give him 3rd degree burns and negates his resistances. Lastly, he must know the mutants power in order to have a target of swapping.<br><br>General Personality/Traits: A freak accident split his personality into good and evil and both struggle for control. This results in his chaotic nature in the transition. His mother taught him stealth and combat with a blade. So he carries a knight sword, but also a bow and arrows. Being a mercenary, he shows little to no motions, but when he does...watch it. He is also very agile and quick like his mother and is strong, but only above average then a normal human, but can handle his own.<br><br>Good side- A proper well mannered individual. His posture and all movements are that of a knight. In this state of mind he treats all people with kindness and respect. Even women get the gentleman treatment from him. In combat, he is immune to psychic and magic like his mother, but nothing more. So he prefers the knight sword he carries even if he is at a disadvantage. He remains to fight with honor. He will retreat if needed. He is also very moralistic, but shows very, VERY few emotions. He is also very strategical and analytical. He is also very intelligent as he spends his free time reading and studying various subjects.<br><br>Evil side- An arrogant and completely rude person who would easily make a pass at any and every woman he can. This state of mind is completely opposite of his other self. Wild and chaotic. He completely disregards morals and prefers the thrill chaos brings in life. He'll do anything destructive in the name of fun. In combat, he prefers the bow and arrow, but has full control over the swapping ability, but has no immunity leaving his open and he gains the opponents weaknesses to boot. The only emotions shown are insane laughing in enjoyment and is highly psychotic. Liable to kill anyone he has no regard for anything tactical nor does he like to sit around and wait. The problem is he is very random in battle making him unpredictable.<br><br>History:<br>The trauma he suffered came in his early teen years. Before that he lived as a normal child with his mother who had given up all her jobs just to be with him. At an early age, his mom taught him how to be a gentleman in a world full of hate and corruption. He followed his mothers directions with great willingness and a smile. He was just a normal teen when he hit 13 and had himself a lovely girlfriend and made quite a bit of friends...and then on that day. He was betrayed by everyone he held dear. It came on in a sudden assault one morning before school, teachers, students and staff alike all came at him. Beating him to the ground with fists and hard objects. He tried to defend himself but the blows were too much. The crowd yelled "Get out muttie!" and the related. His now ex yelled saying "How could you lie." and hinted of betrayal. He heard a psychic enter his head and then he got hit in the head with a metal pole. Later, he woke up in his bed...Looking to the side, he say his room was destroyed..and his mother dead...A horrible ringing bellowed from his ears. The trauma with the psychic energy made him go crazy and thus order and chaos were split inside him. That day, he swore revenge on all those "filthy beasts"who did this....especially those who betrayed him. After burying his mom, he grabbed what he could from the house and soon wondered the country to become the mercenary out for revenge against humanity. Though, he sometimes spars people on his...good....days. The memory of this event still haunts him and not a day goes by were he is not reminded. Who knows...maybe one day one of his sides could be permanently in control and maybe....he would take a side... Depending on how things go. Will he discover love an passion for humanity or love in general? Only time...will tell. Till then, he'll join, for the right price.

He is able to do one of two things with this Aura. Firstly, he can attack with it directly from his body, extending the Aura outward as an extension of himself. Secondly, he can create hard constructs from his Aura, independent from himself, and control them.<br>Able to create Portals to and from Limbo for travel, and can transport others this way aswell.<br>Resistant to Magic, thanks to training from mother and mutant ability.<br>Immunity to Telepathic attacks, thanks to growing up in Limbo.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>Unable to Cast Spells.<br>Is Deathly afraid of Spiders.<br>Is afraid of heights<br>Can not use both abilities of his aura at the same time.<br><br>General Personality/Traits:<br>Fun Loving<br>Playful<br>Flirtatious<br>Serious within a battle, or when he needs to be.<br>Seems like a Fool, but is able to show surprising awareness for a situation. <br><br>History:<br><br>Raiga is the son of Ilyana Rasputin, Queen of Limbo herself, or Former Queen, as she has passed on the Title of Ruler to her Son, Raiga. When he was growing up, Ilyana taught Raiga all that she could about Magic and how to control the mystical energies of the universe, but spells and incantations never seemed to stick with the boy, and he could never learn them, no matter how much his mother tried. Frustrated, knowing her son should at least how to use it, she tried to devise a way for him to learn some control over magic, as he would be the next Ruler of Limbo after her. Finding an Old Spell book within an Ancient Library, Ilyana stumbled upon what is known in Limbo as "Aura Magic", something similar to Raiga's mutant ability. This 'battle magic' was used during an Ancient war to give the warriors of Limbo an edge against their enemies, and required merely concentration and sufficient magical power to activate. Ilyana decided to teach Raiga these Aura magics, knowing that the boy had magical power rivaling her own, but not the skill needed to form this magical energy into spells.<br><br>Her Training paid off, Raiga learning how to use this Ancient Magic after training for five years under his mother, but it was not enough to help him fully control it. Illyana sent her son to the only trustworthy people that could help him control this ability, the X-men, to help him while she stayed in Limbo as it's Ruler for the time being. He was 10 at the time when his mutant ability appeared, and has thus been at the Institute for seven years, learning to control his mutant ability.

				Character Name: Claude LeBeau<br>Nickname(s): LeBeau, Thief.<br>Code Name: Spade<br>Parent(s): Remy LeBeau (Gambit) &amp; Anna Marie (Rogue) <br>Roll: X-Men<br>Character Model: (http://i47.tinypic.com/2mxkf1l.jpg)<br><br>Gender: Male<br>Birthdate: 24 August<br>Age: 23<br>Birthplace: San Francisco <br>Nationality: Caucasian<br>Orientation: Straight<br>Dominance: Switch<br><br>Height: 5' 11"<br>Weight: 134 lbs<br>Eye Color: Red<br>Hair Color: Brown<br><br>Known Mutant Power(s):<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Ability to manipulate kinetic energy and imply it on inanimate objects mostly playing cards.</li><li>Power transferring, by touching a person he can take a small amount of the persons power. or Life energy</li></ul>Other skills.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Skilled at card throwing, learned from his father.</li><li>Skilled at hand to hand combat.</li><li>Skilled at using a telescopic metal staff.</li></ul>Weaknesses: <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Unable to block any energy blast.</li><li>The chance that he could&nbsp; loose control over his powers </li><li> Pretty vulnerable to psychic attacks, and/or mind control</li></ul>General Personality/Traits:&nbsp; Claude is a strong willed individual, that tends to think things through and find the optimal way of dealing with the problems. Although occasionally&nbsp; he does tend to achieve his goals by using some not so legal methods. It's not that he is a bad guy it's just that he tends to adapt even if that means walking along the thin line that separates the good from the bad. <br><br><br><br>History: After the M-day happened Gambit and Rogue retreated to San Francisco in hopes that there they could raise their children in peace. Since the mutants and the humans managed to live in peace side by side, both Gambit and Rogue figured that they could raise their kid without the fear of him being cast off from society. Claude's first few years went rather well his powers didn't started to come out fully yet, he was acting like a normal child. Playing, sleeping, eating and things like that. Because of that his parents thought that maybe the mutant gene skipped a generation.<br><br>His powers were active ever since he was a baby although not that much as someone could have thought, but as the years went by his powers started to grow in power more and more. It was in this time that his father taught him how to fight, during his teen years he had some troubles with controlling his powers, being almost thrown out of school because of destroying the the gym when he accidentally transformed the potential energy of a wight into kinetic energy and blasting a hole with it through a wall.<br><br>His parents figured that it would be best for him to go to Xavier's Institute where he could learn to control his powers, and that's what they did, they send Claude to the institute to stay there until he would learn to control his powers. From time to time they came to visit him but one day they didn't come. Later Claude heard that they were killed in a car accident, that made him want to be what they were heroes. So he started to work harder pushing his abilities to their limits and learning to control them. If they were alive they would be proud of him he managed to become a member of the X-men and he is using his powers to help mutants and humans live together.<br>

Reshaping them to her will is no problem to her. She needs to be touching her target, not necessary skin to skin though.</li><li>Once asleep, she cam move her consciousness into other people dreams (one person at most per dream) and interact with them. Reshaping their dreams as she wants. If she is able to&nbsp; have her 'victim' go with her to her dreamscape, anything that happens to the consciousness of the person, happens to their body too. They need to go with/after Alice on their own free will, though she can trick them into following her by taking an appearance that would cause them to follow her. Can be forced out of someone's dream if they have strong telepathic powers or someone with those powers backing them up.</li></ul><span class="bbc_u">Passive:</span><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She possesses some telepathic abilities, giving her ability to hear people's thoughts like constant whispers (aside those who do not project their thoughts). During her life she learned to mostly ignore those whispers and they are rarely anything more then annoying buzzing sound in the back of her head. She is not trying to train her apparent telepathic abilities.</li><li> Her mind sometimes creates dreams or visions that are odd mix of memories (not only her own), nightmares, dreams and occasionally even visions of future, but she is not aware of this.

If strong enough they can momentary confuse as to who she is, where she is, what is she doing, etc. It can be momentary (few seconds) or long-term (even to weeks).</li><li> Not skilled in physical fight.</li></ul><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Alice is not really good, but nor really bad. Or at least she tells so herself. She has nothing against using her powers to complete her work when it was impossible to do so without it, or when it would take much, much longer. Humans and mutants to her are the same and as long as she will be not endangered by either it will stay like that. Threats are usually quickly dealt with, usually by simply changing memories and feeling that came with those toward herself. She does no charity and always awaits some kind of repayment for her P.I. work. But in private she can do some relatively selfless acts.<br><br>Tidy in her own way. What to everyone looks like a barely organised mess (her room was stacked with papers, cigarettes, books, clothes, papers again and the office was not much better), she knew where everything was. She does not let anyone clean the place up and gets annoyed when someone touches anything without her permission, though to lesser extent in her office. As mediocre smoker, she has no intention of stopping her habit, no matter what anyone says, but when visiting her father she never smokes in his presence.<br><br>So far she had no luck in finding that right person, and she often spends her free days dreaming, roaming in people dreams, most of times simply watching them. She is not prone to fits of anger and seems like rather... Bleak person. Hence she has not many good friends, but in her work-related business, she has some sort of good reputation and loose ties with police. Smart, but introverted, Alice loves reading and it is her hobby. She reads newspapers, books, online texts. And yet thinks little of the world future and politics, aside the few times that they brush her during work. She tends to shy from people, especially mutants, but not to a large degree. It just makes her look shy. To a degree cunning, she could be an asset to either side, but Alice simply hopes that whatever happens worldwide will avoid her. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> To really know her past, one would have to track her mother to ask, or someone who knew her. Why? Alice mutation awoke early, or maybe it was always there, even in her mother's womb. And she changed her own memories, so many times as child that many of the true ones were lost. As no one no longer lives, who remembers those. So what is true fr her past? Alice does not know. Nor she really cares. The things that she remembers keep her happy.<br><br>She was supposedly born at 23:49 on 13th December 2020, in one of many hospitals in New York. The one in the slums, where no one really paid much attention to anything. Supposedly she was born there. Supposedly there were people who remembered that yes, some girl was born that night, but then again many other children were born too. To people the only thing that mattered were the documents. And those said that she was born then. As a healthy little girl whose mother filled all the necessary documents, paid and then few days later left with the child. <br><br>On 4th February 2025 Thomas Chase, a normal human met a child on his house footsteps, waiting for him. With the certificate of birth in hand words that mommy was gone, Alice was for the time being cautiously welcomed into the house. Of course Thomas was cautious, but good man. So he paid for DNA tests which did prove that he indeed was the child's father, as he had no twin and the results matched. As questioning the child to whereabouts of her mother was unsuccessful (then again what he could expect from asking a barely four years old girl?), he simply took her in and treated her with care, slowly learning to love that child of his whose mother he was not sure of (he should have listened to his mother that his playboy ways would get him into trouble). He did change his work and moved away with her, t o a place more suited to a child in his mind. Of course it was not utopia. They were a rather normal two-people family, they had good and bad moments, as Thomas had to learn how to care for a child (at least the daughter turned up to be a good way to get a lay).<br><br>Alice herself was a rather normal child. Maybe a little more quiet and withdrawn, but relatively normal and when around people she trusted or spend a lot time with, she opened up a little more, turning into bright and smiling child. She was a smart child. Not a genius one, but a smart one none the less and Thomas found what pride at his child successes meant. Of course the girl had occasional nightmares, but to Thomas it was something rather normal given her background. The blonde girl liked her father. He was a nice person. And Thomas never found himself plagued by nightmares. During the years, Alice was&nbsp; growing up and her father completely accepted her and loved her, she was his only child, his daddy-girl. And Alice found herself spoiled, which was nice and she enjoyed it.<br><br>Rather normal teen years. She had her friends and her enemies and even crushes. She appeared as normal as she could. She made mistakes, she succeeded with some things. She was normal. Or at least seemed like normal. Middle-school. Then high-school. People and friends changed. And she grew up more, while her father seemed overly protective over his daughter. But then again he knew what kind of wolves the men were. To his relief, Alice enjoyed more being in home, reading books, surfing through internet and having female friends. Her grades were good. It was obvious that she was intelligent, sometimes even sharp, but some subjects were just not for her. Still, she gave her father little to none trouble, aside occasional skipping class, getting sick, or having few male friends. Or sometimes having different opinion.<br><br>All in All Thomas Chase knew that his daughter could be much more problematic. Alice was his baby-girl whom he would always love and protect. She was very dear to him. And the girl, now young woman took advantage of it. She never had to worry about money problems and she was fine with having only few loose friends. The school graduation came fast and then Alice decided to 'study' to be a P.I. It worried her father, it could be a dangerous work and there were others. far better suited for his baby possible futures. But Alice was sure, and would not change her opinion.. So he could only surrender and support her.<br><br>Alice was aware she was a mutant. But she was not sure if she wished for her father to know it, so she kept it a secret. Little mattered to her aside leading a rather normal, boring almost life. After finishing school with help of her father and the founds she gathered working as waitress, she opened her own firm. She was an official P.I then. Her office was rather small, not standing out. At first she lived with her father. But as his health grew worse and he had to be hospitalised.. She moved into her office. It had now only one room as office and the other one was hers living place.<br><br>Both, she and her father would not sell their house. So they rent it, while the pay went to cover the bills. Alice had enough cases to have enough money to not wory about them, while living not so bad. She enjoys living as she does, in relative peace and little worries, working as P.I. No matter who they were, former mutants, mutants or humans alike. As long as the pay was there and the assignment nothing too dangerous, she was just fine. And wanted to live like that for some time, even if for that she had to alter people memories and use her powers. For her own (and her father's) good, it was perfectly fine after all.

Quicksilver) and another mutant.<br><strong>Role:</strong>&nbsp; X-Force<br><strong>Character Model:</strong>&nbsp; OC by Mogami Rio (Artist)<br><br><strong>Gender: </strong> Female<br><strong>Birthdate:</strong>&nbsp; July 23<br><strong>Age:&nbsp; </strong>18<br><strong>Birthplace:</strong>&nbsp; San Francisco<br><strong>Nationality:</strong>&nbsp; Caucasian<br><strong>Orientation:&nbsp; </strong>Omnisexual<br><strong>Dominance:</strong>&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; She can instantly teleport from any location she is in to any location she can see clearly.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Her nickname 'Boomer' comes from the sonic thunderclaps use of her powers generates.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; This is a short range effect, usually limited to no more than ten feet or so.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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).&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; She also needs to breathe, and if she vaporizes chemicals nearby through use of her shockwaves, she can accidentally poison herself.&nbsp; Her teleportation does not work through barriers; if there is a hole large enough for her head, she can teleport through it.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Some energy barriers can hinder her teleportation, while others do not.&nbsp; 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>&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; She is not truly confrontational, despite her disdainful attitude, and will usually back down if told off or threatened.&nbsp; At the same time she is a bully, and will not hesitate to cajole or intimidate others if they seem weaker than her.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; While she will obey authority figures, Coriolys does not like being ordered around or treated like a child despite her somewhat immature attitudes.&nbsp; 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>&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; She arrived at the training facilities of the X-Men already versed in most of her powers, and wanting to do good.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; It quickly became obvious, however, that her powers were almost entirely militaristic in application.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; The only other power she could contribute to the X-Men was her uncanny vision, which high tech binoculars or telescopes could easily duplicate.&nbsp; <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.&nbsp; 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."&nbsp;

He has a limit though however, he cannot control the iron in a human's body making it burst out of them or anything similar then that. Unless the metal in their body is the size of a marble, meaning if they swallowed a solid piece of metal or something similar, only then can he manipulate it, he cannot manipulate separate iron atoms to be precise.<br><br>- Can freely generate and manipulate magnetic fields. This includes but is not limited to creating an electromagnetic barrier, magnetizing metal objects, and using magnetic currents in his body to give him superhuman strength. He can also uses these fields to create EMP's, or make his body&nbsp; emit a polarity that is opposite to the Earth's, making him able to fly. Magnetus however, is just as skilled as his father was at the same age, an as his father, his power come with the ages. Therefore lifting heavy objects using magnetic force and creating sucessful EMP's strains his body heavily. He can also disrupt magnetic fields to repel weaker psychological attacks, psychological attacks of normal strenghth are, at best, weakened using this effect, another effect of his young age.<br>Weaknesses<br><br>He hasn't yet achieved the powers his father has, meaning creating wormholes, astral projections, telepathy and altering materials at a sub-atomic level, these powers might be developed as a lot of age comes.....<br><br><strong>Passive Powers:</strong> Physical immortality, granted by the Earths magnetic field, he leeches off it's energy.

Will treat humans with disrespect and avoid them where ever possible. Although he has a dislike for Mutants which follow ''The way of Charles Xavier'' he does not hate them, leaving them alone in general, but will move and attack them if needed to achieve his goals. Which he believes to be absolute. He treats Mutants who share his belief with great respect, looking out as many allies as he can, he even somewhat respects humans who share his belief.<br>Because of the bitterness he also developed a sarcastic side, will try to be sarcastic on any given moment.<br><br>On the other hand however, he treats his allies and those who share his and his father's goals with the utmost kindness and respect, believing them and himself to be essential to building the new world. Because of his father though, he also believes that he is something of the new Messiah that Magneto was, spreading this belief further and further. Sees himself&nbsp; thus as the inheritor of Magneto's will and is respected for that throughout the world.<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br><br>Born in Warsaw, Mateusz (the Polish version of Matthew) always knew that his father, the Great Magneto, would change the world completely, though as such a young age he did not know what his beliefs stood for. Growing older however, discovering his mutant power at the age of four, as he played chess with his father. His father always moved the pieces by mind, explaining that he was ''Special'' and wanted to create a place for ''Special'' people like himself. Matthew wished he could help his father and do the same, and his wish was granted, as his mutant powers jumpstarted and suddenly a black piece, his King, started to move by his will. Once he grew older, into his teens, he began to understand what his father fought for, and did not see him as a bad person. Visiting the concentration Camps Auschwitz, and learning about what his father underwent there, he grew angry. Angry at humanity, how could they treat their own kind like that? Now wasn't any difference, with mutants being hunted and hated. He changed the ''Arbeit Mach Frei' sign with his powers to have it say ''Mutanten sind die Neues Gotten'' At the age of fifteen he migrated to America, where Magneto had his base of operations. Changing his name to Matthew he started training Training, studying this belief, he took up the mantle of his Father's faith as he died, swearing he would make his wish come true

				Character Name: Dedika Tsitvia<br>Nickname(s):&nbsp; Di<br>Code Name: Kazeshini<br>Parent(s): Psylocke (mother)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Shatterstar (father)<br>Role: X-Force<br>Character Model: <br>(http://www.itnetwerk.com/news/resserver.php?blogId=4&amp;resource=Yumi03.jpg)<br><br><br>Gender: Female<br>Birthdate: April 9th, 2022<br>Age: 23<br>Birthplace: Senaki of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of Georgia<br>Nationality: Eastern European<br>Orientation: Bisexual<br>Dominance: Switch<br><br>Height: 5’10<br>Weight:&nbsp; 132lbs<br>Eye Color: Brown<br>Hair Color: Black<br><br>Known Mutant Power(s): Detailed evidence and information regarding the exact nature of this mutant’s abilities are in short supply.&nbsp; Current theory rests that she holds latent telekinetic powers with an alternative pathway of expression.&nbsp; This belief stems from the immense energy the mutant is able to summon into a destructive blast centered on her person.&nbsp; Through the progress of the Weapon X project, the mutant has also been shown to produce massive amounts of this same energy to fuel various technological systems.&nbsp; Such technology is of standard use in other experiments ongoing with practitioners of telekinesis.&nbsp; <br><br>Weaknesses: The mutant has been unable to express her powers effectively outside of her prepared weaponry and armor.&nbsp; Last recorded experiments regarding her abilities have proven uneventful and many researchers doubt her powers will express in a more powerful fashion.&nbsp; A minority of researchers have presented arguments for her abilities to advance into direct blasts of energy or raw telekinetic power.&nbsp; Research is pending.<br><br>Psychological Profile: Currently the subject is under psychological evaluation for potential use in the X-Force unit.&nbsp; Preliminaries findings show a strong aggressive tendencies and ineffective coping mechanisms related to violence and harm to others.&nbsp; Subject has repeatedly threatened staff and attempted assault on more than one occasion.&nbsp; Responsive to medication.&nbsp; There is evidence of a strong competitive nature consistent with earlier findings.&nbsp; Subject shows evidence of social detachment of distancing when interviewed.&nbsp; Pressing of issues illicit a violent response in particular when reaching mental blocks of her past.&nbsp; Findings will be posted in more detail as they are made known.<br><br><br>Historical Records<br><br><br>Earliest records indicate Dedika enjoyed a relatively uneventful childhood.&nbsp; Examination grades place her as a figure of above average in academics.&nbsp; Fields of grammar and history were preferred subjects while mathematics was an obvious disadvantage.&nbsp; Behavior reports showed an above average pension for conflict, but nothing to warrant further investigation.&nbsp; Personnel report her to be bright and active, participating in a multitude of sporting events and competitions of physical skill.&nbsp; The subject was considered to be very competitive by her peers and did not accept lose well.&nbsp; There is mention of participation in the piano and harp.&nbsp; Teachers also indicated vanilla pudding as a preferred treat and enticement to end misbehavior.<br><br>At age 12 the subject’s record ends abruptly, only to resurface as police reports.&nbsp; Historical archives detail a civil war along the interior of Georgia with sporadic incidents of violence.&nbsp; Government forces faced a period of unrest amongst rebels hiding in the rural countryside of the area.&nbsp; Military troops were sent to dispose of these armed forces and the overzealous nature of this action is well recorded.&nbsp; The subject’s home is found in one report to be destroyed by an explosion of unknown origin.&nbsp; All occupants are reported dead or missing along with a patrol which was in the area.&nbsp; Early findings place the patrol at the home with reports indicating the patrol was there to assist.&nbsp; Later investigation by researchers of the Weapon X Project places the soldiers at the location prior to the explosion.&nbsp; Most researchers and investigators for the project believe this was the first display of the subject’s mutant power.&nbsp; Evidence has been raised to suggest the occupants of the home were dead before the explosion and that the subject was the attention of the soldiers near the time of detonation.&nbsp; Specific details are not forthcoming.<br><br>Records are conflicted on her presence throughout the country from this point onward.&nbsp; Lack of an integrated police force coupled with increased infighting place a strain on reliable record keeping.&nbsp; Persons matching the subject’s description are reported in various areas of the country.&nbsp; A string of unexplained detonations and severe explosions is noted throughout the region at this point.&nbsp; Originally these attacks were attributed to rebel insurgents, but investigators now question if the subject was moving to critical points of the regime infrastructure.&nbsp; Many of these explosions match the criteria for the telekinetic detonation witnessed at her farm home less than a year prior.&nbsp; Such destruction was a key factor in usurping the current government in favor of a new.&nbsp; From there the subject disappears from all records.<br><br>Intercepts between the Eastern European facility for Weapon X and their Canadian home office increase.&nbsp; Photographs and descriptions match that of the subject, but verification of her status in relation to these messages is impossible.&nbsp; Investigators believe that during this timeframe the subject was abducted and transported out of country to the Canadian facility.&nbsp; Shortly after the intercepts began they abruptly ceased.&nbsp; This is believed to be an indication that she was obtained and placed into custody by the Weapon X personnel.&nbsp; For the next four years she is absent any mention and her identity even then was not verified for some years after.<br><br>The first recorded appearance of the subject is on December 15th 2039 at a crowded shopping center in Paris, France.&nbsp; Recorded surveillance footage places the subject in the parking lot minutes before a massive explosion of unidentified origin.&nbsp; The attack was preceded and followed by an anonymous warning regarding the safe harboring of mutants within the borders of France.&nbsp; Such attacks continued across Europe including airports, shopping centers and public transportation centers.&nbsp; No individual was ever identified as the bomber or any organization specifically held responsible.&nbsp; Though at each incident the subject was found to be present minutes before the explosion occurred.&nbsp; Current thought is that the subject was being utilized as a living bomb in order to bypass security and cause maximum damage to the civilian population.&nbsp; <br><br>A year later came the emergence of another terror along the borders of mutant-kind.&nbsp; Dressed in plated armor and bearing weapons of unknown power and origin, the figure began to terrorize organizations promoting mutant rights.&nbsp; The attacks were typically performed after a warning message was given to the facility or area of interest.&nbsp; If the warning was ignored then within the week the armored figured would be at the lead of a small squad of soldiers.&nbsp; These attacks were obviously meant to serve as a message to other communities as the band laid waste to all that was set before it.&nbsp; The carnage was absolute and the intentions made clear with each smoldering crater left in their wake.&nbsp; Each time though they would disappear in silence and confusion, leaving others with no ability to retaliate.<br><br>Several intercepts and missives began to circulate amongst the mutant community about the location and origins of this armored figure and small unit.&nbsp; Their warnings were the only indicator of their next target, which allowed for the proper positioning of a counterstrike.&nbsp; The X-Men and their companion X-Force both took position to put down the threat to mutant kind.&nbsp; Word had spread of their involvement so that a larger force made their appearance than was typical.&nbsp; The ensuing battle has been recorded and archived for further viewing.&nbsp; Of note is confirmation of the subject during the battle.&nbsp; Footage reveals a complete facial profile as the subject and one Ichigo engage outside the facility.&nbsp; Subsequently the subject was captured alive but not before she unleashed another explosion, allowing her team time to make their escape while she was collected by X-Force.<br>

				(In case anyone asks, yes. This character has seen a lot of play time. *grins*)<br><br>Character Model: None at present<br><br>Character Name: Harada Takeo<br>Nickname(s): None<br>Code Name: Kazeshini<br>Family:<br><br>Harada Shingen, Great-Grandfather<br>Yashida Mariko, Great-Aunt<br>Harada Kenuichio, Grandfather “Silver Samurai”<br>Oyama-Harada Yuriko, Step-Grandmother “Lady Deathstrike”<br>Madam Viper, Grandmother<br>Harada Kouhei, Father “Bishamon”<br>Harada Aoi, Mother<br>Harada Ichigo, Uncle “Shaft”<br>Harada Mariko, Aunt “Shade”<br>Riley-Anne Harada, Aunt “Rescuer”<br>Harada Kukiko, Twin Sister<br>Harada Tamiko, Sister<br>Harada “Addison “ Haruko Cho, Cousin “Voltic”<br>Harada James Randall, Cousin “Jack”<br><br>Roll: Prodigy X Team Leader<br><br>Gender: Male<br>Birthdate: August 20th, 2028<br>Age: 17<br>Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan<br>Nationality: Japanese<br>Orientation: Straight<br><br>Height:5'8”<br>Weight:210 lbs.<br>Eye Color: Steel Grey<br>Hair Color: Black<br><br>Known Mutant Power(s): Psionic Arms and Armor – Takeo has been gifted with the ability to manifest psionic weapons and armor. The details and quality of said armor or weapons is generally defined by his understanding of the weapons or armor in question.<br><br>But the thing about his weapons is that he can generate psionic pulses that disrupt the nervous system or synaptic patterns of the brain.<br><br>In addition to this he can internalize his TK to staunch wounds, supplement tendon and ligament strength, as well as increase his own physical strength for limited amounts of time.<br><br>Empathy – Takeo has the ability to sense the emotions of anyone near him. (See power progression for more details)<br><br>Power Progression: Advancing from stage to stage<br><br>Stage 0 (1-10) – At age eight, Takeo began developing terrible headaches about an hour before things would begin to start flying around the house or energy would explode forth from his body. About a<br>month later, he was taken to meet his father where he was tested for the X-Factor gene and found to be positive. He was soon being tutored by the best telekinetics the Harada family could get.<br><br>Stage 1 (10-14) – Takeo having been tutored by Betsy Braddock soon found himself unable to use his telekinesis to lift or move anything, but soon able to enhance his own strength levels (Up to 300 lbs at<br>most of additional strength besides how own.) and began to manifest simple weapons<br><br>Stage 2 (14-17) – Takeo’s experience with his powers is now improved as he can create an hold both telekinetic armor and psionic weapons for nearly an hour at a time, after that they begin to waver or fade. He is also able to internalize his TK abilities to staunch wounds on himself, and even help support ligament and tendon damage until such time as he can reach a healer or his powers fade.*Note This power even allows for creations such as surf boards, and glider wings, they cannot move but can allow him to survive great falls.*(Up to 600lbs of addition strength besides how own)*This includes the strength of his armor.)<br><br>By focusing his will, Takeo can also harden his weapons and armor so they have higher 'breaking' threshholds. His default breaking level is high grade steel, but he can push his 'breaking threshhold' to that of Truesilver for a few minutes at a time. This breaking point is in terms of overall tensile strength and resistance to damage<br><br>He has also began to sense the emotional from his enemies when his weapons contact or pierce an enemy. *IE Calm, Relaxed, Angry, etc..*<br><br>Takeo’s armor can withstand normal gunshot wounds and even some high caliber rounds. It can withstand and provide some cushion for even tremendous damage but to great a strike can cause his armor to “Shatter” which in truth means fade away. If this happens it is very difficult for his armor to return right away.<br><br>Stage 3 (17-23) – Takeo, now has the strength and stamina to maintain various weapons and armor for hours at a time. The complexity of his weapons now allows him to all martial weapons and armor, as well as javelin, spear archery and other non movable object attacks. With bows, slings, and chains being the exception. The range of the strikes on these weapons are not determined by normal bow or thrown range.<br><br>This means his archery and thrown strikes have no range but his eye sight. Takeo can hit a target with a thrown spear from a football field away with the precision and power that his TK currently allows<br>him to do so. There is no loss of energy or speed on the throw per wind or distance rating.<br><br>Like Psylocke years before he can also choose to do Psychic or Physical damage with his strikes. On limbs and extremities this causes numbness for several minutes on success, if on the chest or head, it<br>will cause intense pain and possible shut down of nervous system for several seconds, rendering the subject immobile for seconds to minutes depending on strength and will. (Up to 1800 lbs of additional strength and Armor Durability. Without fading considerations.)<br><br>His default breaking level is True Silver, but he can push his 'breaking threshhold' to that of Mithril for a few minutes at a time.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br><br>Takeo’s powers are largely telekinetic in nature, but he is completely incapable of the usual telekinetic feats allowed by said power. He can’t lift things and push/pull them in any direction. He is incapable<br>of flight by using his powers. As they are made of telekinetic energy, they can be properly manipulated by a telekinetic with sufficient strength or will to break his.<br><br>The weapons and armor he can generate are limited by his understanding of how a weapon or armor functions. As this is the case, he will normally acquire and work with a normal mundane weapon of excellent manufacture so he has an ingrained sense of how the weapon is wielded and moves. The same is done with armor, he'll wear the armor until his body becomes accustomed to wearing it and can make the appropriate shifts in posture to accommodate it. At this point, Takeo is limited to close combat weapons and bows. Takeo shunned the use of firearms, but he has been forced out of his comfort zone by the Academy who has force him to practice with firearms of many mundane variety, so it has<br>yet to be seen if and how efficient his ability to manifest a firearm is.<br><br>Also, just because he can replicate a weapon doesn’t mean he’s proficient in it. The weapon is merely a psionic representation of the real thing.<br><br>Takeo is also allergic to menthol as it can potentially kill him if he comes into contact with it and he starts to break out if it's in the air.<br><br>General Personality/Traits: He’s intelligent, courteous, and even tactful when he chooses to be. He’s also very passionate, loyal, impulsive, and generally rough around the edges. And bluntly honest.<br><br>History:<br><br>Takeo and Kumiko are a pair of fraternal twins born to Kouhei and Aoi Harada. His parents were perhaps the most unlikely pairing ever concieved, Kouhei had at one time in his life been one of the worlds most wanted Assassins, while their mother had been a Shinto priestess and mystic. Takeo doesn't know much of what happened before his birth but he does know what his mother told him.<br><br>Takeo was born only about two minutes before his twin sister in a monastery overlooking Tokyo, attended to some of the best monks skilled in the arts of medicine and childbirthing. His childhood from that point was what most might consider quite ordinary, except for the fact that his mother put both of her children into martial arts as soon as the nearest dojo would accept them into their classes.<br><br>There was never any overt pressure on the part of his mother for him to excel in the martial arts, but it was something he did if for no other reason than to make her proud of him. It was most likely because<br>of his natural aptitude for the martial arts that got him involved with the Yakuza to begin with. His family lived in a part of Tokyo that was contested by two different Yakuza <em>oyabun</em>. He'd been<br>walking home from school to find his mother being harassed by one faction of the Yakuza, the resulting fight left no arguments about what the young boy would do to protect his family. In receiving the<br>beating of his life, he'd crippled at least four men and severely injured two others before his rage gave way to the pain.<br><br>He woke up the next day to his mother cursing someone outside his hospital room before coming in to find him awake. It was then that they had a very long talk about him using his martial arts to protect<br>those he loved. To harm others for the sake of harming them because someone wanted him too was not in the spirit of martial arts. She made him swear an oath that he would not use his power to harm others<br>unless he was protecting people. A vow that to this day he does his best to hold true too. Even when fighting for his life, he does only enough damage to his opponent to prevent them from coming after him when they part.<br><br>Later after his mother had been forced to leave his bedside, he was visited by men representing the other faction of Yakuza involved in the struggle for his neighborhood. They'd heard about what he'd done by himself and offered to help him protect his family in exchange for him to run errands and do the occassional odd job for them. He naively felt that this arrangement was more than fair so in turn he agreed, not realizing he'd taken the bait they'd laid out for him.<br><br>Everything started off as they'd promised, he simply ran a message from one person to another or delivering a package then after a year he was told that he would have to accept a tattoo of membership if he intended for their protection to extend to his family any longer. He accepted the agreement so long as he got to choose the pattern. They chuckled in agreement. He chose the dragon and tiger tattoo that he now wears from his left shoulder to elbow. It was only because of the fact that it was the beginning of winter was he able to hide the tattoo from his mother until it was completed. About six months later,<br>Takeo was leveled with a massive headache that landed him in the emergency room with doctors running every test they could think to run with no success, then the headache just vanished and Takeo was allowed to go home after an appointment to see a neurology specialist the next week.<br><br>About an hour or so after getting home, Takeo clenched his head and screamed as his headache seemed to return full force, but then the kitchen was destroyed as things started flying about and crashing<br>everywhere. His mother, Aoi, had a hunch about what was going on but couldn't prove anything without a solid blood test. She was fully aware of who the father was and she also knew that it also made her children mutants, but not taking any chances she performed an exorcism on her apartment complex driving away all the dark energies inside the building.<br><br>Harada Aoi was a true mage, one who studied ancient magics both light and dark. And she would undertake anything she felt was necessary to protect her children should it become necessary. But she did not want to disturb her husbands duties and studies, it had been the core of the argument that had split them up. She had no doubt that her father-in-law knew exactly where she was, the monthly checks she received every month were not government nor were they signed by anyone she knew to be associated with the Harada family.<br><br>But she had few actual skills outside of magic and her skills as a priestess to make money, so she couldn't refuse it. And she would not stoop to using her magic to make money, she had her pride both as a Mage and as a woman to do so.<br><br>But Takeo's headaches didn't lessen, in fact they began to occur more and more frequently. And it was only after one of his worst headaches and outbursts had literally torn his shirt from his body had she<br>discovered the tattoo. She knew what it meant and she knew it meant that it was time to introduce him and his sister to their father. So she made an appointment to see Harada Kenuichio for later that week,<br>when he had appeared on her doorstep while her children were at school wanting to know why she was demanding an audience with him, she explained Takeo's headaches and the results afterwards. His<br>involvement in the Yakuza. And Kenuichio acceded that it was indeed time for the children to meet the rest of their family.<br><br>The next day, Takeo was taken out of class and taken to The Understudy Academy for the Gifted where he was given a metal bracelet that eased a growing headache. It was that day that Takeo met and fought with his father. It was a short lived fight, one fueled by a momentary rage and flight of jealousy that this man would take his mother from him.<br><br>But when it was explained to him that they were going to be a family, did he calm down and begin to learn. It was a week after he'd moved into the Understudy complex did he realize just how in over his head he'd been with the Yakuza. They had shown up on the front doorstep of the Understudy demanding his presence. He'd been instructed in no uncertain terms to stand just outside the doorway to the complex to see why he was destined to be cut from a different cloth than his previous associates. It was only his father, his mother, his grandparents, and his newest mentor, Betsy Braddock that went to meet the Yakuza, a gathering of about thirty men. Men he knew to be no slouch in a fight. But the three women and two men left none standing in the wake of their wrath. None were dead, but all would be in need of medical attention.<br><br>The Yakuza had come to the fight bearing swords, knives, and even a gun or two but they'd all been downed by men and women bearing nothing but their innate gifts and powers. He will forever and always remember the words uttered forth to him by his Grandfather when they returned, “True power comes from a sense of purpose and a desire to do more with oneself than bully the weak. If you are truly my grandson, strive to become more than a petty thief. Strive to become something constructive. An artist. A musician. A writer. A teacher. Or even, heavens help us, a politician.”<br><br>From that day forth, he devoted himself to his studies with a fresh vitality. Between Betsy and his grandmother, his skill as a martial artist grew at an exponential rate. His body which was already well<br>developed became even more developed. His moral code was given a higher standard of achievement.<br><br>He began to learn the true code of bushido.<br><br>The true Way of Horse and Bow.<br><br>To devote every ounce of his being to a task so that it was done to the highest standards. Even if it was something as simple as sweeping and mopping the floor. But it was also during this time that he was<br>exposed to something that would help give him personal definition. He was a member of Clan Yashida.<br><br>A clan of potent warriors and skilled martial artists. But he would also become known as a Christian. The argument that that had spawned had caused him to come to blows with his grandmother, a fight that he had quickly lost. His father was an Agnostic. His mother was a Taoist priestess. His grandparents were both Buddhists. His Aunt Mariko was a skeptic. His Uncle Ichigo only believed in the power of his own fist (a power which would later prove to be in sufficient as he fell before<br>the sword of his own half-brother.)<br><br>For a number of years he did little more than study and practice, his studies were covered more by private tutors than going to actual classes. He did finally fight with his parents and finally was allowed<br>to attend the Toudou Academy. But soon found himself butting heads with the Executive Council, after nearly killing half the Executive Council and then trading blows with the President until both were left<br>barely conscious and hanging onto life by a thread.<br><br>It was at this point that it was decided that he would be best served by being at the Xavier Institute to further his lessons instead of going back to the Todou Academy or the Japanese Understudy, for which<br>his own step-grandmother was the Headmistress.<br><br>After his first two semesters at the Academy, he was approached by the Headmaster to create a team of students to be the successor to the New Mutants. It would be called Prodigy X and Takeo would be the leader.
