He also has no hair on his head. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Charles does not wear any of the typical uniform or gear when operating in the field. He dresses smartly and keeps his appearance very neat and tidy at all times favouring suites primarily. He always uses his fairly modern wheelchair for transport. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Charles is renowned throughout the world for his pacifism. He stands against violence and cruelty wherever it may be found and tries to set an example of kindness. Throughout his younger life he tried to avoid using his powers for anything that could be considered irresponsible and focused on doing good where he could. As opposed to methods of war he preferred to use diplomacy to try to help the world. He has been instrumental in the fight for mutant rights and bringing about a state of peace and equality. Unfortunately many things have stood in his way, particularly lately.<br><br>Charles knows that the governments tagging and capturing mutants is terribly wrong and even flat out evil. But he is also keenly aware that becoming aggressive will only serve to threaten people further and spread the divide more. For the peace he dreams of he cannot use anger as a tool. His public face remains an unwavering beacon to mutant kind, showing them that they can do the right thing and avoid the violence. <br><br>Despite his desires for peace Charles is keenly aware that he possesses a considerably darker side to his mind. When confronted with strong words about his unwavering faith in pacifism he is liable to become angered as he feels he knows what is best for mutant kind and is taking the best possible route to peace. He will not back down and despite his normally mild manner Charles is not a man to be taken lightly when it comes to suggestions of violence or aggression. People will quickly see how and why he is in the role he is and when it is necessary he is a strong willed and powerful man. <br><br>Having said that a great deal of this darker nature is liable to be directed outwardly at the Brotherhood and the Government. If anyone from either group threatens his school and those he protects he will have no doubts in the necessity of using his powers to do what needs to be done. He will avoid it as best he can but if challenged he knows he cannot afford to back down. Erik Lensherr, or Magneto as he is now known, is the greatest source of indecision and frustration in Professor X's life. One of the few times he will face indecision is when met with Magneto's incredible determination to stand against Charles. He fears that one day his old friend will simply reach a point beyond recovery and that he may be the one standing over him with blood on his hands. Deep down Charles isn't truly sure whether he fears Magneto succeeding or the person he may have to become to stop him more. <br><br>Either way he relies a great deal on his students and teachers to help him as he helps them. Each day he can see them learning and adapting to become healthy, happy people he finds it easier to go by and hold faith that his powerful dreams truly are something he should fight for. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Charles Francis Xavier was born in New York City to the wealthy Brian Xavier, a well-respected nuclear scientist, and Sharon Xavier. After Brian died in an accident, his science partner Kurt Marko comforts and then marries the grieving Sharon. When Xavier's telepathic mutant powers emerge, he discovers Marko cares only about his mother's money.<br><br>After the wedding, Kurt moved in with the Xaviers, bringing with him his son Cain. Kurt quickly grows neglectful of Sharon, driving her to alcoholism, and abuses both Charles and Cain. Cain takes out his frustrations and insecurities on his stepbrother. Charles used his telepathic powers to read Cain's mind and explore the extent of his psychological damage, which only lead to Cain becoming more aggressive toward him and the young Xavier feeling Cain's pain firsthand.<br><br>Sharon dies soon after, and a fight erupts between Cain and Charles that causes some of Kurt's lab equipment to explode. Mortally wounded, Kurt drags the two children out before dying, and admits he was partly responsible for Brian's death.<br><br>As he grew older Charles became a talented student and athlete, and began to steadily learn to understand his powers, which he believed were directly responsible for him losing his hair at a young age. He graduated with honors at the age of 16 from Harvard university, becoming something of a scientific marvel. He went on to achieve Ph.D.'s in Genetics, Biophysics, Psychology and Anthropology. After several years spent in London he attained an M.D. in Psychiatry. <br><br>Growing older he was eventually drafted into the military for the Vietnam war. Although the conflict pained his pacifist nature he found a natural talent in search and rescue missions due to his powers. It was during this time that he witnessed his brother Cain's transformation into the Juggernaut. <br><br>After the events of the war Charles spent years travelling and meeting other mutants to learn of their powers and abilities, quickly becoming the worlds foremost source of knowledge on mutant kind as a whole. He was particularly astounded when he met the mutant Erik Lensherr, a man capable of manipulating magnetic fields who would often refer to himself as Magneto. This man held a darwinist opinion of evolution and felt that mutation was the next step for humanity, feeling angered at his need to conceal who he was and what he could do. <br><br>The two became fast friends, despite their uneasy and wary nature around each other they each felt keenly aware that they possessed the power to shape nations. They found common ground in their curiosity over what they could do and Magneto became involved in Charles's efforts to find other mutants. Unfortunately the two shared very different ideologies. Charles wanted to create a study, showing the existence of mutants and the fact that they were a harmless aspect of the world. One that could be used to help and better humanity and were not to be feared. Magneto on the other hand felt that they deserved respect and power for their gifts, as they could do so much for the government and the people. <br><br>Eventually they inevitably fell out in 2010, the group they traveled with splitting in a sudden and violent incident. Before either side knew it the pent up tension turned physical, with friends turning on one another. Several mutants were killed and only the most resilient managed to walk away from the incident. Magneto himself knowing full well he could never possibly respond to Charles's powers of mental control had spent years creating a helm that would defend him from Charles's power, with Charles's help. Xavier understood the dangers of his abilities and entrusted that his friend would make use of it should his darker side ever surface and he need to be stopped, he knew Erik would have the stomach to pull the trigger on his friend. <br><br>But Charles could never have imagined the helm would be used to betray him like that. When he saw Magneto walking towards him with the helm he could do little more than bellow at the others to flee and face the man alone. He reasoned with him, telling him there was a better way. Violence wasn't the answer to things. But something had changed in his old friend. The man that stood before him would not hear a single word in defense of humanity and had no doubt in his mind that he had no choice other than to go through Charles to better the world. The two fought with bare fists, despite Magneto's conviction he could not bring himself to simply murder his friend. But when Charles began to overpower him Magneto tore a heavy iron gate from its hinges, flinging it through the air and sending Charles bouncing across the concrete. Charles had never felt pain like it, and couldn't seem to access his powers as his mind was overwhelmed by the physical and emotional pain of the brutal betrayal. <br><br>All he could do was look up at Magneto and plead with him to see sense. He saw his friend break down in tears too, collapsing to the ground with the weight of his actions. Charles saw the humanity in the man capable of such dark actions and forgave him for what he had done, hearing Erik mumble a faint prayer he realised that the man was shaken by his own deed. Charles heard his apology and could only attempt to give him a look of recognition and understanding before he faded to black . When he awoke he was told his legs were far past being saved, and that he would never walk again. He fell into a deep depression for months, swiftly driving away most of his friends save for a loyal few including Colossus. When he eventually saw his old vision again and remembered that he was the first victim on the road to a war like earth had never seen he was invigorated. He worked tirelessly to set up a group he named the X-Men and begin gathering anyone he could to help them and ask them to help his cause.<br><br>The public was beginning to learn of mutants and he swiftly became the unofficial leader of their kind. A public face who met with the leaders of nations and hosted talks to answer a multitude of questions. Throughout this work he clashed with his former friend several more times, each time he met Magneto and the group he now called the Brotherhood there was a tension and often violence. The two views were simply so far removed that any true reconciliation seemed almost impossible. <br><br>Magneto's violence in the form of pro mutant riots and rallies was a constant problem for Charles spreading the message that mutants wanted nothing but peace, and he was often called on to simply use his powers to stop these events. He would always argue that force was not the answer, and that any man could be persuaded to understand that there was a better resolution than war. Even despite the betrayal he still loves Erik as a great friend and feels that he will one day find redemption. <br><br>Now Charles runs a successful school, despite his discomfort with some of the students being forced to be there he makes sure they will feel welcome, loved and cared for. But he has the permanent stress on his mind of what Magneto is doing out in the world. A stress turned tenfold by the fact he cannot see within Magnetos mind. Erik and Cain, or Magneto and the Juggernaut, being the two men who worry him the most and the only two minds he could not read was a cruel twist of fate. He plans to solve issues with pacifism but is not above leading the X-Men in combat should it be necessary to counteract Magnetos increasingly bold violent acts. While he feels the war is inevitable this is a fact he keeps exclusively to himself. Even after everything he still considers the doors of his mansion firmly open to any mutant or human who comes in peace. He has been known to allow Magneto entry to talk privately, although he is keenly aware his presence unnerves even his boldest students and teachers.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Telepathy:</strong> Charles Xavier is, by quite a distance, the most powerful telepath on earth. He is able to read minds and project his mind into those of others anywhere up to hundreds of miles away. When using Cerebro Charles can reach every mind on the planet at once. His powers are primarily used in the following ways.<br><br><em>Telepathic Illusions</em> - Charles can create flawlessly realistic illusions within the minds of those around him, convincing them to experience false events with extreme realism. <br><br><em>Telepathic Cloak</em> - Charles can conceal himself, and a small number of those nearby, from the minds of others. He will in effect be invisible as he will stop their mind from registering his presence. Some powerful telepaths may be capable of finding him but it will take a great deal of effort to combat his mental prowess. He can also alter his appearance to convince people he and his allies are different people.<br><br><em>Mind 'Blast'</em> - Charles can overwhelm the mind of a target with vast quantities of information. He strongly dislikes using this power despite the fact it is an incredibly effective non-lethal way to disable a target. It is very liable to cause brain damage or at least some form of long term mental issues. <br><br><em>Mind Control </em>- Charles can nearly effortlessly control the minds of anyone around him save for other powerful telepaths and those with Psionic defenses. He can cause them to act precisely as he intends for them to, or even freeze them entirely and make them feel as though time has simply frozen. His powers extend to the capacity to stop every human in a large crowded building from being able to act at all.<br><br><em>Mind Alteration</em> - Charles can alter and adjust the thoughts and feelings of another individual. He does not do this unless given no choice or asked to as it is removing free will and in his opinion killing a part of that person. Even given the opportunity he would not be willing to take away the part of Magneto that makes him fight Charles, no matter what it costs him. He can also cause people to forget things from minor details to entire years of their life in an instant. <br><br><em>Psionic Shield</em> - Charles is nearly impossible to reach with any form of telepathic assault. His mind is a bastion and well defended by the most experienced and gifted telepath on earth. Anyone who attempts to read or alter his mind is simply leading him to their mind, and unlikely to have any real effect. He can defend the minds of his allies when they are nearby, although not entirely as well as he can defend himself.<br><br><em>Astral Projection</em> - Charles can project his mind vast distances, globally if using Cerebro, to communicate with anyone he needs. While he will not physically appear he can create a manifestation of himself in their minds eye. <br><br><em>Mental Detection</em> - Charles can detect mutants in an instant upon coming across them while using Cerebro. He uses this power to seek out young and struggling mutants and try to bring them to his school, as well as keeping a close eye on the powerful who have sided with the Brotherhood. <br><br><strong>Cerebro:</strong> Cerebro is one of the most advanced pieces of technology on earth. It is capable of enhancing Charles's telepathic powers to levels that make him the most dangerous man alive. With it he can reach every mind on earth at once, walking through a dreamscape filled with the thoughts and feelings of millions of humans and mutants. Civilians, unknown mutants, Brotherhood members and the Government. He can see every single moment. <br><br>But he does not believe in using it as a tool to spy and as it is a physical toll on his mind he uses the somewhat limited time he can spend in Cerebro seeking out the unfortunate mutants who could benefit from his school. In extremely dark times he is not above using it to make certain the Brotherhood and humans are not formulating warlike plans. But he would prefer to focus on helping others above all else.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Overwhelming Voices:</strong> Despite the incredible control Charles has, and how practiced he is, he can sometimes become overwhelmed if too many voices are in his head. This is particularly possible if he uses Cerebro in moments of great national anguish, but can also happen in crowded places during a disaster. He will generally have to try to keep a lid on his powers and be unable to work with full efficiency as otherwise he would have difficulty working with precision. <br><br><strong>Psionic Defenses:</strong> There are minimal real defenses against Charles's power. His telepathic ability is so great that almost no other telepath could even attempt to keep him from their minds, and even those closest to his levels of power would be little more than a bump in the road. But there are a few mutants who possess items that give them a defense from his powers. The only ones known are Magneto and the Juggernaut. When faced with either of them Charles is almost entirely helpless, unless someone can remove the armor shielding their mind. <br><br><strong>Extreme pacifism:</strong> Charles doesn't like to be involved in conflict if he can avoid it. He will often cede points to humanity or the Brotherhood in an effort to play the larger game and keep the peace. This can lead to some other mutants see him as weak willed or ineffectual. He is not a coward but simply understands that the day humanity and mutants truly take up arms against one another will be a day remembered for eternity, and he does not want to be the man who could have found peace and failed. <br><br><strong>Darker Side:</strong> Despite his mild manners Charles has a darker side that he keeps thoroughly hidden. He can have moments of deep seated anger towards the war mongering and violent people who stand against his vision of a peaceful world. He knows full well some of his friends disagree with him and have issues with his pacifism. But if he is ever directly challenged and insulted for the way he handles things he would be liable to become very angry. Likewise if any government agent makes the error of threatening him or his students he will swiftly point out that he and the X-Men are humanities greatest hope if Magneto ever goes from warmongering and threatening to all out aggression. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.

At one time she would dye her hair entirely purple but as of late she now only highlights the ink, black strands with purple.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> <br><br>Betsy has never given up her roots in a world of high fashion and luxury.&nbsp; While she can no longer obtain the latest runway clothing she still keeps up with name brand clothing when she can and tailors her looks to the latest trends.&nbsp; When training or "in the field" she dons the black leotard and accessories that have become a second skin to her since her earliest days of training.&nbsp; A stark contrast to her typical clothing these fibers are highly revealing and tailored to her body.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br><br>Elizabeth Braddock was known as a brat in her youth.&nbsp; Young and adventurous with a taste for the luxuries of life she attended many parties and was consistently in the spotlight of the United Kingdom’s paparazzi.&nbsp; Since her transformation into the body of Kwannon there has been a darker turn to her personality.&nbsp; Subsequent brain washing, covert operations, assassinations and a rough introduction to the darker sides of humanity have jaded the seemingly youthful spirit of Betsy Braddock.&nbsp; The figure that has emerged, Psylocke, still holds that adventuring spirit but is tempered with a far darker dose of reality than most would consider healthy.&nbsp; <br><br>Toward those she does not know Betsy can seem quite aloof and arrogant.&nbsp; She maintains a cold tension around her that keeps many at a distance.&nbsp; That many of the teaching staff and experienced X-Men do not trust her makes this tension all the more palpable and real for her.&nbsp; There is an analytical nature to the coldness as well as even the simplest glance from her seems to be sizing people up for their usefulness to her and against her.&nbsp; This feeling of being categorized and assessed that people speak of when engaging with her is in fact real as Betsy rarely enters a room without knowing at least how many are there and what she can use in her defense and exit.&nbsp; Sarcastic wit and dry humor greet most anyone that interacts with her.&nbsp; <br><br>Only when familiarity is granted does the sarcasm lose its bite and the dryness of her humor reveal a deeper intellect.&nbsp; Those the frigid nature does not melt away into warmth, friends will find an understanding and perhaps even freshness to her nature.&nbsp; Most will learn of her loyalty and dedication to a cause that she feels is important.&nbsp; She is diligent in planning and execution of her tasks.&nbsp; While she might take on reckless and dangerous tasks, Betsy does so with superior planning and research to eliminate unnecessary risk.&nbsp; This has set her at odds with the likes of the Brotherhood as she feels their goals, while attractive, are poorly planned and even more poorly executed.&nbsp; She does not see the sense in failing to negotiate and sees even less sense in outward violence.&nbsp; Psylocke is more comfortable and used to a subtle approach to her problems.<br><br>Tagging and categorizing of mutants is something she finds useful but distasteful.&nbsp; She would never participate in such a program herself and would assist others in fighting against being tagged in such a way.&nbsp; Psylocke though would give most anything to get her hands on those files if only to have the information.&nbsp; Still the restriction of movement and freedom is harshly opposed to her own spirit of life.&nbsp; There is simply no reconciling the actions of the government and her own beliefs on life.<br><br>The forgiveness of Charles Xavier is also counter-intuitive to her.&nbsp; While she benefits from his mercy and was not killed or jailed when the X-Men assaulted the complex of The Hand, she does not understand such compassion.&nbsp; Elizabeth knows she has no desire to hurt the man for now, but also knows what she is capable of and what she might one day do.&nbsp; That, she would think, would make Xavier worried about having someone like her in hi facility.&nbsp; Yet there she stands each day not only on the grounds of his compound but often in his own classes and within intimate distance during some of their conversations.<br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> <br><br>The story of Psylocke involves the very different tales of two women.&nbsp; First is the story of the second born child to Sir James Braddock.&nbsp; A twin to her brother Brian and the younger sister to her brother Jamie, Elizabeth Braddock grew up with both a royal title and riches to match.&nbsp; From a young age she enjoyed the spotlight and shined when out amongst the crowd.&nbsp; Modeling was a natural choice for the rising socialite and she became a childhood sensation that was maturing into the complicated industry of fashion.&nbsp; Betsy had enough money at her disposal that piloting became a childhood hobby.&nbsp; Of course all this came crashing down around her with the death of her parents in an accident at their company’s main headquarters.&nbsp; Their death is still shrouded in mystery but she knows the pair had made a breakthrough in artificial intelligence known as Mastermind.<br><br>A woman by the name of Kwannon forms the second part of Psylocke’s story.&nbsp; Born into the occult like setting of The Hand she was raised as a child solider.&nbsp; Death and murder were common place for her.&nbsp; The first blood covered her hands at the tender age of four when she was commanded to murder a fellow classmate for the simple enjoyment of her instructor.&nbsp; She did not question the command and did not fail.&nbsp; For her the dolls that most girls played with were replaced with swords and knives.&nbsp; Those weapons developed into guns and explosives as she grew older.&nbsp; Her handlers had high expectations for her as she also developed the mutant power of telepathy.&nbsp; From this development came a master plot of The Hand to remove high power individuals among the European Union.<br><br>The death of the Braddock leadership left Betsy in a state of disarray.&nbsp; Without even attending the funeral she took off in her private plane for parts unknown.&nbsp; She lasted a single month before waking up in the bowels of a dungeon maintained by The Hand.&nbsp; Strapped to a table and staring into the eyes of Kwannon while around her people chanted and incense burned.&nbsp; Hours passed in this way, hours of indescribable pain and suffering as Kwannon began the slow process of merging their hands.&nbsp; Unknown to both though Elizabeth Braddock had her own abilities.&nbsp; The merger of the minds did not go as The Hand had hoped and instead the pair switched their bodies.&nbsp; Kwannon’s mind emerged in the body of Braddock while Betsy’s mind emerged in Kwannon’s body.&nbsp; The problem came that Braddock’s body failed to respond to its new master, leaving Kwannon a raging mind in the shell of a body.<br><br>Elizabeth Braddock’s latent powers of telepathy had shielded her mind, keeping her personality intact while Kwannon had worked.&nbsp; So when she awoke inside Kwannon’s body all remained as it had been.&nbsp; Unfortunately Kwannon had injected enough of herself that the brain washing and servitude she experienced as a child carried over.&nbsp; Kwannon was trapped inside Braddock’s body but she still exerted control over the mind of Betsy inside her former body.&nbsp; The Hand saw opportunity to carry out their plans as Betsy had intimate knowledge of the ruling families of industry and capital across all of Europe.&nbsp; For the next four years Betsy Braddock in the body of a young half-breed Japanese woman known as Kwannon became the primary agent of death for The Hand in Europe.<br><br>During this time she conducted espionage and assassinations for powers beyond her comprehension.&nbsp; Money and power dictated her choices as Kwannon commanded her from a safehouse somewhere in Germany.&nbsp; While The Hand congratulated themselves on such a useful weapon, Betsy moved in the shadows of her mind and inside the mind of the woman that took her body.&nbsp; Walls were erected and a telepathic game of cat and mouse played out over those four years.&nbsp; Betsy grew in strength both physically and mentally until all came to a climactic end.&nbsp; She finally had the power to wall off the influence of Kwannon as she struck the compound where the body of Elizabeth Braddock was held.<br><br>At this time the X-Men were likewise making their own assault on the compound, something Psylocke used to her advantage in breaking into the facility.&nbsp; Already known to the X-Men as a dangerous assassin and mutant killer, she avoided them as best she could.&nbsp; Only when she drove her katana through the heart of former self did the X-Men finally stumble on her.&nbsp; Kwannon would die that day inside the shell of a body that was not hers.&nbsp; The power she maintained over Betsy’s mind gone and the walls she used to keep Betsy’s power from flourishing fading away.&nbsp; Standing over her body there were no more tears to shed and no more pains to hold.&nbsp; Psylocke was taken into custody by the X-Men.<br><br>Only a month would go by before Betsy Braddock, inside the body of Kwannon now and forever, would step out into the sunlight of the world again.&nbsp; She was not a prisoner or assassin, not an agent or a socialite but rather a simple student to her own powers.&nbsp; While not fully trusted she was allowed her freedom once more.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> <br><br><strong>Telepathic Immunity:</strong>&nbsp; Due to her innate abilities as a telepath and her extensive battles for control of her mind with Kwannon, Psylocke has developed a strong defense against telepathic probing and manipulation.&nbsp; While not entirely immune only the strongest telepaths could hope to breech her defenses and even then she would be a difficult mind to alter and control.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Telekinetic Strikes:</strong>&nbsp; Psylocke is able to sheath her hands and body with energy from her mind so that each strike is made with superhuman force.&nbsp; This telekinetic ability also manifests itself in the form of purple blades that can take the shape of simple knives or a full length katana.&nbsp; Striking someone with a telekinetic manifestation can induce sudden unconsciousness as she is able to channel her telepathic abilities through the blade.&nbsp; Psylocke has caused instant death with her weapon before but to do so she must pass the blade into the victim's head directly and maintain contact to shut down their nervous system.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Telepathy:</strong>&nbsp; Psylocke's full potential with her powers of telepathy is far from being realized.&nbsp; Years of being under the control of another telepath have reduced her potential and kept her from developing her skills beyond the defensive.&nbsp; Still the powers have manifested themselves in unusual ways to assist with her martial arts training and her duties as an assassin.&nbsp; Precognition is one path her abilities have taken as she is able to read surface thoughts during a fight that allow her to anticipate and react to an opponent's next move.&nbsp; She is also able to make small, mental illusions in her targets so as to distract them during a fight or lead them astray.<br><br><br><strong>Body Armor:</strong> While many laugh at the leotard and outfit she typically wears in training and combat, there is a practical side to the ensemble.&nbsp; Freedom of movement is of course a boon, but the suit is crafted of durable microfibers.&nbsp; Glancing strikes with fist or blade would not penetrate the armor and small arms fire proves ineffective unless a direct shot.&nbsp; Larger caliber rounds would easily penetrate the armor though.<br><br><strong>Cache of Weapons:</strong>&nbsp; While Charles does not allow weapons on campus, Psylocke knows the placement and position of various Hand safehouses and weapon caches throughout the world.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Close Proximity:</strong> Much of Psylocke's training with her mutant abilities has been for hand-to-hand engagements so that nearly all of her abilities require being within striking distance of her target to use.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Wanted:</strong> Kwannon's face is known by various agencies throughout the world including The Hand.&nbsp; She is wanted for questioning by several governments and has a price on her head by less honorable institutions.<br><br><strong>Mistrust:</strong> Psylocke is not the only one to question the mercy of Charles Xavier in regard to herself.&nbsp; Many X-Men remember days of tracking her as an assassin and more than one has lost a friend to her hands over the course of her career with The Hand.&nbsp; While none have gone so far as to disobey Charles, there have been some rough engagements in training.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><strong>Relationships</strong><br><br><em>Anna Marie "Rogue"</em> - I have felt her power and it is truly terrifying.&nbsp; She has felt the weight of my past and I think she regrets the night we meet.&nbsp; I don't because that night she took away the voices and I made my fateful decision.&nbsp; Rogue does not know the debt I owe her but she has my shadow at her back.<br><br><em>David Alleyne "Prodigy"</em> - I remember the night we meet.&nbsp; Shadows, starlight and knives sounds like an exotic first encounter doesn't it?&nbsp; He was so scared but so determined to do what he thought was right.&nbsp; Of course I let him continue doing my work for me as I had already taken the information from his research that was required for my employer.&nbsp; A quick bit of shuriken steel was enough to convince him to run.&nbsp; I wonder if he would be so patient with me in class if he knew that his hated research was never really gone but turned over to a more wicked cause.&nbsp; So many secrets......so many lies to tell.<br><br><em>James "Logan" Howlett "Old Man"</em> - He is strange and looks at me as if I should know him.&nbsp; At times he even talks to me as if we have fought together, have seen hell together.&nbsp; I think he is disappointed when he comes out of his little delusion to find me standing there, different somehow.&nbsp; Sad man, dangerous man.&nbsp; Not a pleasant combination.<br><br><em>Laura Kinney "Wolverine"</em> - I believe the poetic turn of phrase is "born to end lives."&nbsp; Our relationship is not what one would call friendship but maybe just mutual understanding.&nbsp; We have come to blows only in training and we both know things could go much farther than they have.&nbsp; I do not think either of us wants to know who would win in that conflict.&nbsp; For now we have a regular appointment for drinks on the weekend.&nbsp; We don't talk much.&nbsp; We don't really need to.<br><br><em>Rhane Sinclair "Wolfsbane"</em> - Laura's room mate and her shadow.&nbsp; Only someone with a secret tries this hard to remain unnoticed.&nbsp; <br><br><em>Salem Summers "Cyclops"</em> - Cute kid.&nbsp; She ever finds herself than someone is certainly in a lot of trouble.&nbsp; Still she is obsessed with being a girl scout.&nbsp; I bet she ever tries to sell me some cookies later this year.&nbsp; Maybe if I introduce her to the shadows she will learn to leave me alone and keep from knocking on my door.

Her adoptive mother tried to give her training as a weapon as much humanity as she could, but Laura still came out of it damaged and unconditioned to social and behavioral norms.<br><br>She is usually silent, observant, always looking for threats and appraising others for their physical weaknesses. <br><br>After meeting Logan, she developed an obsession for her father, and adopted some of his mannerisms. She tends to be gruff, cocky and independent, though because it is an affectation, she can be talked down more easily from these obnoxious tendencies. <br><br>When Laura was in captivity, she got into the habit of self harm after being forced to kill her adoptive mother and others around her with the use of her trigger scent. Though she no longer cuts herself, Laura does tend to be rather reckless and borderline suicidal in combat situations, charging directly into danger headfirst without little concern for her safety.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Laura is the clone of James ‘Logan’ Howlett, a.k.a. Wolverine; The DNA obtained for the cloning process had a damaged Y chromosome, and thus the scientists that engineered her were forced to duplicate the X chromosome to create a female clone. Property of her creators, she was named only X-23, and was raised to be an assassin for hire. She was raised by her ‘mother’, Sarah Kinney, who felt genuine affection for the clone and tried to treat X-23 as humanely as possible.<br><br>At the age of seven, to more quickly move her into ‘production’ as an assassin, the lead scientists that worked with her (save for Sarah Kinney) forced her through radioactive therapy, to induce an early trigger of her X-gene. Her regenerative abilities and her bone claws manifested soon thereafter, though unlike Logan, she has two claws in each hand, and one in her foot. Also unlike Logan, only her claws were bonded with adamantium, not her entire skeleton, enabling her to be a quicker and more agile killer.<br><br>X-23 was trained in combat, but her skill growth was deemed unsatisfactory at a young age, and her sensei was blamed for softening the girl. X-23 was then exposed to a trigger scent, which had been conditioned into her since infancy to induce a murderous rage, and she killed her sensei. Only after she came back to her senses did she realize what she’d done, and X-23 became depressed and begun to practice self harm. From there on, her training was handled by a harsh woman named Kimura, who regularly punished and beat X-we for failure.<br><br>At the age of ten, X-23 began her work as an assassin, brutally and efficiently killing her targets, though ultimately showing mercy and failing to kill when the targets or the family of the target included a child. Dissatisfied with their product’s failures, X-23 was slated to be destroyed and Sarah Kinney was fired. It was revealed to the scientist that X-23 had several viable clones in incubation pods. Sarah Kinney set her daughter loose in the facility and told her to kill the scientists and destroy the pods. X-23 was able to do so, but in one final act of revenge, the scientists exposed X-23 to her trigger scent, causing her to kill her mother. In her final moments, Sarah named her daughter Laura Kinney.<br><br>After living for some time with Sarah Kinney’s sister and her family, Laura sought out Wolverine, desperate to get to know her genetic father. After confronting and attacking Logan, who let the young girl defeat him, she discovered that Logan knew about her ordeals, as Sarah Kinney had written him a letter before her death. Before the two could reconcile, the Freedom Force had Laura arrested for the dozens of murders she committed as a younger child.<br><br>Fearing that Freedom Force would turn around and start using Laura as their own weapon, Wolverine freed her, and helped her disappear. Living homeless on the streets of New York, Laura worked as a child prostitute and a night club entertainer to survive until Wolverine and the X-Men rescued her and enrolled her at Xavier’s school.<br><br>Around her mutant kin and her adoptive father, Laura slowly acclimated to ‘normal’ life, unlearning some of her oppressed behaviors as a piece of property, slowly getting over her traumas as a slave, a weapon, and a reluctant sex worker. <br><br>Then, tragedy struck; Wolverine, a man previously thought unkillable, was killed. His healing factor had been robbed of him by a virus, causing all of his greatest enemies to seek him out to enact a revenge now that he was a mere mortal. Wolverine finally died after drowning in liquid adamantium, his body forming a macabre, silvery statue that has since been sealed away respectfully by the X-Men in a remote location. To honor her father, Laura took on the mantle of Wolverine, and hopes to take her place in the proper X-Men team when she’s deemed ready.<br><br>Laura's opinions on the three current factions:<br><br>Xavier and his school: Laura grew up in captivity. Then, she was sprung loose and forced to survive on her own and spent much of that time homeless. The experience was overwhelming to her. After coming to Xavier's school, even with the government restrictions in regards to mutants moving on or off campus, Laura feels more comfortable knowing her world is a little bit smaller. She has no quibbles with Professor Xavier's stance of non-lethality, as she is traumatized by the killing she was forced to do as a child assassin, and is in no rush to take another life, be it mutant or human.<br><br>Magneto and his Brotherhood: For a while, Laura was not sure if she preferred Magneto's stance over Xavier's. While she does not wish to kill, and ultimately wants humans and mutants to co-exist harmoniously, she sympathizes with Magneto's combative methods.&nbsp; She knows what it's like to be under the boot of a violent oppressor, and while she does not wish to join Magneto and his cause, she silently hopes that he can further the goal of mutants in a positive way.<br><br>The anti-mutant U.S. Government: Laura shows open disdain for the government and their oppressive anti-mutant laws. Whenever 'ambassadors to mutantkind' appear at the school to speak to Xavier, Laura's hackles raise and she makes sure not to be near any of the humans.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Advanced Healing Factor:</strong> Laura has a healing factor that exceeds the original Logan’s, as she has a much smaller concentration of Adamantium poisoning her body since only her claws are coated with the substance. She can heal from significant damage in a matter of seconds, and can revive from the dead within minutes.<br><br><strong>Bone Claws:</strong> Laura’s secondary mutation is not exactly like her genetic father’s. Instead of having three claws on her hand, she has two on each hand (protruding from between her knuckles rather than from them) and one that exudes from each foot.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Senses:</strong> Laura has telescopic sight with perfect clarity, allowing her to see minute details from afar, and to see well in anything but absolute darkness. Her ability to smell is extremely potent, and she can track even days old scents. Her hearing is equally sharp, allowing her to hear heartbeats and breathing from other rooms, and conversations at an even greater distance.<br><br><strong>Adamantium-coated Claws:</strong> After her mutations were prematurely manifested, the scientists that owned X-23 performed a similar adamantium bonding process with her claws as Weapon X did with Logan's entire skeleton. This means that her hand and feet claws are razor sharp, but without her entire skeleton being coated in the metal, she is much more quicker than agile than Wolverine ever was.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Trigger Scent:</strong> Laura has been trained from birth to have a trigger scent, a particular smell that sends her into a mindless berserker rage. The smell is concocted from a special formula of chemicals to be a unique scent that could not be replicated in the wild, so there would be no accidental triggering.<br><br><strong>Ill-Adjusted:</strong> Most of Laura’s life has been spent in captivity, serving as a living weapon, or surviving on the street by selling her body. She has little idea what ‘normal’ is, though she does her best to imitate it and present a facade of normalcy. <br><br><strong>Suicidal Tendencies:</strong> Laura knows that she has done terrible things in her life. She has killed dozens of people against her will, including her own adopted mother. While homeless on the streets of New York, she did depraved things as a child prostitute and nightclub entertainer to make sure she had a meal every night. On top of it all, she was helpless to do anything but watch as her adopted father was killed and encased in adamantium. She no longer practices self harm, but she tends to be reckless to the point of being suicidal, even if she’s practically unkillable.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>PC &amp; NPC Connections:<br><br>Lady Deathstrike and Sabertooth: These two were the previous Wolverine's chief rivals. Though they do not view Laura in the same light as Logan, they are offended by her choice to wear his cowl and continue his legacy. Laura in terms considers them her enemies, as they were instrumental in Wolverine's defeat and death.<br><br>Rahne Sinclair: Laura can be intimidating and even bestial. Sometimes it's because of her desperate upbringing and sometimes it's because she tries to emulate the Logan that died not too long ago. Some students are put off by this behavior, but Rahne in particular is made incredibly nervous by interactions with Laura, and Laura doesn't 'get' Rahne at all.<br><br>Betsy Braddock: They aren't best friends, but they get along well enough. Betsy is one of the few people that Laura likes spending time with, probably because Betsy isn't interested in getting too close to her. Through this mutual understanding of each other, they operate well together in combat situations.<br><br>Charles Xavier: Laura has regular therapy/counseling sessions with the professor, much to her dislike. In the two years she'd spent in his school, her resistant and hostile attitude towards him has cooled as she's come to trust him. Still doesn't mean she likes counseling.<br><br>Piotr Rasputin: Colossus is one of the few people in the school that she respects. It's probably not a coincidence, considering he's one of the only ones in the school that doesn't treat her like a ticking timebomb.<br><br>Salem Summers: Laura doesn't like her. Their personalities are just dynamically opposed to one another; They haven't spoken much, but there's a mutual dislike there that neither of them have been willing to mend. <br><br>Kitty Pryde: Laura doesn't know much about Kitty. Her phasing powers creep her out as they are very tricky to her keen senses.<br><br>Jean Grey: Laura doesn't know Jean that well but is fond of her. Jean created the Wolverine costume that Laura now uses, for which she is eternally grateful, and has promised Jean that she 'owes her one', even though the telepath has politely refused this offer.<br><br>Netty Laveau: Netty is Laura and Rahne's new roommate. She doesn't know much about Netty yet, but she's extremely intriguing to her and is possibly Laura's first crush.<br><br>Heather Donald: Heather confuses her. She's ethereal and weird, and she smells different from almost anyone she's met. Laura is fascinated by her hair, which looks so soft, and the colors seem to change every time Laura sees her. Otherwise the two have not interacted much.<br><br>Joanne Weber: Laura and Joanne often spar in the gym or danger room, as they're both obsessed with improving their abilities. Neither of them are particularly outgoing so they have not made any inroads towards friendship or even acquaintanceship yet.

He’s shorter than most men, but is wide and muscular which gives him a deceiving sense of largeness. His hair is soft-looking, mostly white with some stubborn gray still peppering through, and lacking the iconic ‘spikes’ that he sported in his youth.&nbsp; Also unlike his younger self, Logan wears a beard, with a thick moustache and a particularly riveting set of sideburns.<br><br>He typically dresses in an unassuming and comfortable wardrobe, even when he’s ‘superheroing’. He patterns most of his outfits around a tan-colored bomber jacket, usually wearing light plain shirts beneath, and some drab blue jeans that seem to be as old as him. During classes he adopts a more academic look, with a particular flair for suspenders and glasses.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Logan was the Wolverine of the past- aggressive, confident, cocky, brutally honest- but he’s had much of his abrasiveness rubbed away with age. He is that man, but 50 years older, and he lived through a practical hell on Earth of an alternate future that has left him troubled and perhaps sensitive.<br><br>For the bulk of the fifty years between the death of his X-Men and his inexplicable transference to the current present, Logan was a strict pacifist, to the point of failing to defend himself against aggressors. When the villains arose during his past, he had been tricked into murdering nearly every friend he had ever had. He committed suicide (though it didn’t take, of course) and from then on vowed to never unsheath his claws again. Though Logan survived that night, Wolverine died forever. Since returning to the present and uniting with these familiar yet different X-Men, he is still hesitant to fight, but he has ultimately, reluctantly revoked his previous vows in the face of danger to his team and his students.<br><br>Now that he lives in ‘the past’, Logan is constantly wary that the villainous uprising that had ended the world as he knew it is always around the corner. Logan is on alert for trouble, thinking each night the horrors of his past would begin to repeat themselves, that he would be fooled into killing everyone he loved yet again. He has trouble looking into the faces of some particular mutants, remembering their horrified, dead expressions from when Mysterio had used his illusions to force him to kill every soul within the Xavier school.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> He doesn’t remember much from before the Weapon X program abducted him and turned him into a killing machine, but whatever you’ve heard about Logan since then is probably true. He’s lived a long and varied life, has been a part of seemingly ever mutant team that has ever existed, and some that you aren’t supposed to know existed. <br><br>Then, one night, everything changed, and Logan’s life became hell. Villains attacked the Xavier school, and Logan watched his good friend and young protege Jubilee die in a sudden, senseless explosion. His peers on the X-Men- Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, etc.- were nowhere to be found, and Wolverine urged the students to flee into the escape tunnels beneath the school while he fended off the likes of Stryfe, Doctor Octopus, Sinister, Bullseye and many others.<br><br>It was only when the fight ended did Logan realize what had happened. He awoke from his blood frenzy to find himself holding the still warm corpse of Jubilee. She had not died in an explosion, but at the end of his claws. And all around him were the corpses of his allies… Cyclops, his face and visor slashed in half, Havok completely beheaded, Storm lying broken on the floor like a discarded doll, Beast’s back snapped in half leaving him mangled and hideous… The master illusionist, Mysterio, stood over him then, having tricked Logan, even his sharp senses, into murdering the mutants, every last one of them in the school.<br><br>Beaten and devastated, he stumbled off of the school grounds and wandered north for miles and miles, before laying down in front of a freight train in an attempt to kill himself. Though Logan survived as his head was crushed beneath the screaming steel wheels, Wolverine died that night, and for half a century onwards, Logan never unsheathed his claws. He would never hurt another soul again.<br><br>The country was torn apart, carved into kingdoms by various villains. Logan eventually drifted westward, where he met a woman, Maureen, and fell in love with her. The two of them settled down outside of Sacramento, California, on land run by the Hulk Gang, ruthless hillbilly landlords, descended from an incestuous relationship between a maddened Bruce Banner and his cousin, Jennifer Walters. The two of them had two children, Jade and Scott, and though it was difficult living under oppression, Logan was happy for a long time, working as a farmer to keep his family fed and sheltered.<br><br>Then, everything went wrong. Hawkeye, old and blind, enlisted him on a journey across the country, Logan only agreeing to help his old friend so that he could pay rent to the increasingly greedy Hulks. During his travels to the east coast, he witnessed the atrocities of the past and the bleakness of the present. It wasn’t until Clint was betrayed on the east coast by agents of the Fuhrer Red Skull that Logan broke his vow. He killed Red Skull’s men and the murderous tyrant himself, and jetted back to California to take out the Hulk Gang so that his family could live in peace.<br><br>He arrived too late. The Hulks came weeks early to collect on their due rent, and when Logan wasn’t there to pay, they brutally murdered Maureen, Scotty, and Jade. With nothing left to lose, Logan sought out each of the twisted kin of Banner and killed them all, including their senile patriarch.<br><br>Logan began to fight for justice once again, working to slowly loosen the grip of the villains on the world. But before he could complete his quest, Logan was lost in time, and awoke in circa 2010’s New York City, where he was taken in by the X-Men, the sames one that he had mistakenly murdered fifty years ago… Only this time was different. The Avengers no longer existed. Neither did the Fantastic Four, nor the Defenders, nor S.W.O.R.D. nor S.H.I.E.L.D. nor A.I.M. nor the Power Pack. The only superhuman people that existed were the mutants themselves, and there was a fair share of differences there, too. Some were familiar, like the Professor, but others were different... Cyclops was a woman, and a kid, Psylocke was almost as young as her, and his own younger self was dead, encased in Adamantium. <br><br>Still, even though the past is drastically different from what he remembers, Logan is vigilant and wary that the past will still find some way of repeating itself and thrusting the world into villain-dominated chaos.<br><br>Logan's opinions on the three current factions:<br><br>Xavier and his school: Professor Xavier knows Logan's past, and Logan fully understands why the Professor operates his team and his mutants as strictly non-lethal. It's a stance that he's comfortable with, as he's reluctant to even pop his claws in self defense, afraid that he'll once again be tricked into murdering everyone he loves. Logan does his best as a member of the faculty to keep the school in order, even when it is occasionally thrust into chaos by anti-mutant forces outside of its doors, a constant influx of mutant refugees sent into their care, and the threat of escalation posed by Magneto's revolutionary faction.<br><br>Magneto and his Brotherhood: Magneto was one of several villains that arose to destroy the world in his past. While many of the other villains no longer exist, Magneto does, and worse, he's considered perhaps the world's greatest villain. Logan is constantly wary that Magneto will be the one to recreate his horrific past, and is staunchly opposed to Magneto's tactics and ideology, even if he agrees, on some level, that the government should be opposed.<br><br>The anti-mutant U.S. Government: The past that Logan came was partially ruled by a fascist Red Skull, and Logan thinks that the old Nazi villain would admire what the current United States leadership has done to the mutant community. A Canadian without even the concept of patriotism to make him apologize for their actions, he is a vocal critic of their policies, though not nearly as stand-offish as his adopted daughter, Laura. When forced to interact with government entities on campus, Logan does it with a frown.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Advanced Healing Factor:</strong> Logan’s healing factor is not as potent as it once was; Wounds that took seconds to seal now take minutes, but he can still effectively heal from any conceivable wound.<br><br><strong>Bone Claws:</strong> A secondary mutation, Logan has claws of bone that emerge from the three center knuckles on his hands, extending roughly ten inches long.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Senses:</strong> Logan has superior senses, particularly sight, smell and hearing. These senses are most commonly applied to tracking, as he can follow decayed scents, see from great distances and hear through walls. He can even identify people based on their scent.<br><br><strong>Adamantium Skeleton:</strong> After Logan was captured by Weapon X, the program forcibly grafted adamantium to his skeleton. Most prominently this means that his bone claws have become razor sharp blades, but this also includes the same advantages and flaws of having metal throughout one's entire body (e.g. having one hell of a headbutt, but not being able to float). The adamantium poisons his body, which slows his healing factor, which, over time, has allowed Logan to slowly show age.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Made of Metal:</strong> With adamantium coating every inch of his skeleton, Logan is understandably extremely susceptible to magnetism and an inability to float. (He’s strong enough to swim, but floating is definitely out of the question.)<br><br><strong>Regressed Healing:</strong> Whether it’s the march of time or the slow buildup of adamantium poisoning his immune system, Logan’s healing factor is not what it used to be. To the layman, he may heal remarkably fast from wounds, and can still completely heal from decapitation of limbs and near annihilation, but experienced observers would see a significant slowness in this regeneration compared to his previous capacities. <br><br><strong>Reluctant Fighter:</strong> Logan was tricked into killing almost every mutant that ever lived, including every one that had been at the Xavier school when the villains rose up. For fifty years he never popped a claw, not even in self defense. Since then he’s broken his vow to never hurt or kill, but he is still hesitant to do so, afraid that he will once again accidentally harm someone he loves. <br><br><strong>Paranoid:</strong> It happened at exactly midnight, eastern standard time. The villains tooked out the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Defenders and other super-teams almost simultaneously at that time, while Logan was tricked into doing the same to his team. Logan never sleeps before midnight, constantly wary that, despite all of those non-mutant villains and heroes no longer existing, history will repeat itself, and he’s always looking for signs that the villains will rise together again and reignite an apocalyptic future.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Playing him rather faithfully to the current Old Man Logan comics. References to his past will be extremely faithful, even if those characters are critically different in their current incarnations. For example, if a player decides to play a female Nightcrawler, Logan will still remember Kurt Waggoner of his past. After all, divergent timelines and all means that not all details are the same as the past that he came from. This is represented in comics and I hope not to offend anyone with this, as I love original spins on existing characters such as age changes, gender bending, etc.<br><br>PC &amp; NPC Connections:<br><br>Lady Deathstrike: In a world so different, Logan is surprised to find his relationship with Mariko, for better or for worse, is pretty much where he left it. She is his bitter enemy, and worse, she thinks Logan is 'cheating death' by existing after he had already died, even though the Logan she knew is, in fact, dead.<br><br>Sabertooth: Sabertooth is one of the villains chiefly at fault for the previous Logan's death, so now Logan is especially on guard against his sometimes bitter enemy, sometimes brother in case Sabertooth now considers his job to be left unfinished.<br><br>Rahne Sinclair: Logan recognizes Wolfsbane as a bright pupil but is frustrated by how inability to draw any attention to herself. He wants to help her open up and be less shy and assertive.<br><br>Betsy Braddock: One of Logan's first missions with these new X-Men happened to involve Betsy's liberation from The Hand. It was one of the first, and most potent reminders that this was not his world, these were not his people. Betsy was nothing like what he remembered. She'd never been on missions with Wolverine, Longshot, Colossus, Storm, Dazzler, Havok, Maddie, Rogue... He once confronted her, demanding that she remember him, and it didn't go very well.<br><br>Salem Summers: She's another, equally egregious example of how much this world differed from his own. She had a similar past to his Scott, but of course was a young woman, not a man. Their personalities are so strikingly similar, and Logan can't help but feel like a hypocrite as he realized that Scott's humorless boy scout routine was much more charming coming from a cute young woman.<br><br>Laurie Collins: Wallflower is Logan's teaching assistant. He has partly selfish reasons for wanting her around, hoping that her pheromone powers, which transmit her own mood to others, would mean that she would lend him some of her natural cheerful optimism, which he sorely lacks.

Unless she's transformed. Then...she's, well, a giant wolf. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Note: This area will be filled out better shortly. In basics though, she dresses casually, as one would expect a nineteen year-old young woman to dress. She prefers more conservative clothing, due to her religious upbringing, but also seeing as how that upbringing wasn't the best, she's slowly relaxing and becoming adventurous. Slightly. Kinda of...<br><br>Her largest issue is in regards to her powers, as she tends to destroy her clothing when she transforms, which leads to all kinds of issues, and is one of the reasons she does her best to stay human.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Rahne is a withdrawn and distant young woman, thanks to the abuse she suffered for most of her life at the hands of her father (who she still does not know is her father). Believing herself to be an unwanted child, a reject, and now an abomination, she rarely uses her powers. As comfortable alone in her room as she is out alone in nature...Well, the point there is she likes her solitude. It isn't that groups or people make her nervous or uncomfortable, she just doesn't like attention. <br><br>Due to her strict religious upbringing, Rahne finds it hard to come to terms with some of her teammates habits. For example, Rahne would turn away embarrassed when her roommate changed clothes and struggled to come to terms with Nightcrawler's demonic looks and Magik's demonic persona. Rahne also struggled with her own romantic feelings, which she believed were sins and made her wicked in the eyes of God. This is amplified even more so by the fact her feelings often spring up when admiring another woman, and she is torn by why her heart wants and what her mind says is evil.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Rahne's birth set the tone for how her life would turn out. A complicated birth, the unwanted child of a local prostitute and the church preacher, the girl was born in the highlands of Scotland just outside of Ullapool. Her mother died giving birth, and her father disowned her--a man of his stature, reputation, and faith could not be known to have broken his holy vows and sullied himself with sinful acts with a sinful woman. Nonetheless, his church ran the orphanage, and the young girl was delivered into his care regardless by Dr. Moira MacTaggert--she lived locally, and had served as the midwife to Rahne's mother, and had tried to save her life. Reverend Craig viewed the young girl as a constant reminder of his misdeeds, a testimony of his weakness and sins, and sought to redeem himself by making his living sin suffer.<br><br>Her early years were hard, harder than most others in the orphanage. Every slight misdeed was punished excessively. Any moment of speaking out of line brought rebukes full of promises of fire and brimstone upon her, left her serving such penance, that even others in the church had to question why the girl was being treated as she was. None stepped in to help her, though, for none would truly question the actions of their spiritual leader. Rahne would grow up to be a terrifically (as in, terror-bound) pious girl, quiet and withdrawn, led to believe there was something inherently wrong with her that made people hate her so much. No other child was treated as she was, and no one was ever reprimanded or scolded for mistreating her...She became a prime target for bullies in the orphanage...among much worse predators, as well, a fact no one but herself knows.&nbsp; <br><br>When Rahne first developed her mutant powers, she was mistaken for a werewolf. The girl was a shifter, able to take the form of a large wolf, or a more "traditional" representation of a Hollywood werewolf as well. The local people were terrified that night, as she lost control, and fled in a panic. Reverend Craig gathered a mob of religious townsfolk, believing his redemption was in sight. His sin-spawn's true form was reveal--a foul wretch possessed by the Devil himself, and that God was now testing him to slay the beast and he would be forgives. They chased Rahne across the Scottish highlands, deep into the woods...and it was either blind luck or divine providence that Rahne ended up where she did. At the end of the chase, just outside of the home of Moira MacTaggert, Rahne fell unconscious and reverted to her naked human form at the feet of the doctor. Moira recognized her as a mutant, not a demon, and saved her from the mob. She became a surrogate mother to the young mutant and tried to raise her, but the damage done in her early years was too much for the busy woman to undo on her own. Hoping for help, she took Rahne to America, to the Institute headed by her dear old friend, Charles Xavier. Here, the woman hoped, Rahne could finally come to grips with what she was, and receive the tutelage, and healing, she needed. <br><br>At the Institute she was confronted with a whole new look on the world than she had ever considered possible. Struggling to make sense of the sheer openness and trust, the acceptance, and the lack of "fire and brimstone" speeches, Rahne kept mostly to herself. If not for the efforts of a few that would become her friends she would have stayed a hermit likely for her entire stay at the institute. And now, starting her second year there...Well, she's improved somewhat, but still has a ways to go in terms of opening up, and accepting her powers as a gift and not a curse. When the Institute was most recently attacked, she used her powers to fight back only with great reluctance, but the praise and gratitude she saw afterwards did great wonders for improving her outlook on the Institute.<br><br>Now starting her second year, she can only wonder what her new life yet has in store for her. For the most part she's done her best to stay out of politics, and out of the spotlight in general. When asked she just says she has no opinion, and simply wants to learn how to control her powers so that she might pretend they don't exist. But if pressed, she'd say she agrees with the US Government--and not just because they can revoke her card and send her back to Scotland if they so felt like it. Mutants can be dangerous, and hurt a lot of people very quickly, and the government needs to do what it can to protect everyone. The Brotherhood she hates, as they represent event her father said about mutant-kind. The fact she can now be considering one of them, a mutant, disturbs her to no end.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Lycanthropy</span>: Much like the werewolves of folklore, Rahne can transform into a wolf. However, she is not a werewolf, and therefore is not restricted to the limitations of a creature of the night. She can also retain full memory of herself, and therefore has her human consciousness while in her wolf and transitional forms. In her transitional form she is able to stand erect on her legs and retain the use of her hands, but is also able to run and maneuver on all fours like a wolf. Other effects of her wolf and/or transitional forms include:</li><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Enhanced Size</span>: Proportionately greater in size than that of her human form, her hybrid wolf-human bones and muscles make Wolfsbane taller and stronger. Although her lupine and transitional forms are more massive than her human form, the source of this additional mass is unknown.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Enhanced Strength</span>: Greater strength than that of a normal male adult human, due to her enhanced muscular build. However, she is not considered to have superhuman strength. Her strength seems to increase exponentially to her human level-strength, so she may be able to grow stronger with a heavy training regimen as a human, if she so desired.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Enhanced Speed</span></li><li><span class="bbc_u">Enhanced Reflexes</span>: As well as being enhanced her, muscles and skeleton are also extremely flexible, giving her the agility of an animal.</li></ul><li><span class="bbc_u">Hyperkeen Senses</span>: Keen animal senses of sight, smell &amp; hearing combined with human intelligence are heightened further than that of a regular wolf. She can perceive infrared, ultra violet, heat, pheromones &amp; emotions such as fear or lust. With training and focus she's learned to "activate" these at will, though gaining them through transforming is much easier.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Regenerative Healing Factor</span>: Wolfsbane is capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed areas of her body with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Injuries that result in massive tissue damage such as bullet wounds, slashes, punctures, blunt force trauma, and severe burns heal completely, without so much as a scar, in a shorter amount of time. She cannot regenerate severed limbs. Severe injuries will still require medical attention and bed rest, but all but the most dire will heal within a few days' time.<br></li></ul><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> N/A<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Sufficient pain/damage when in either of her transformed states will cause her to revert back to her normal human form, typically also rendering her unconscious.</li><li>As she changes, she loses some of her rational human mind for a more bestial, primal mentality. Logic and reason tend to escape her when fully transformed, a fact she's working to overcome, and is a leading reason she hates her powers.</li><li>She is susceptible to physics and mind-altering substances, which make weaken her control and force her to change against her will. People with animal empathy or similar abilities may also find some sway over her in her fully transformed state.</li></ul> <br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Rahne is a self-loathing individual, hating herself and the fact she is a mutant due to her somewhat extreme upbringing. She lacks confidence because of this, which does affect her grades and her ability to control her power, at least as much as she would like. </li><li>Related to the flaw above, some of her hardline religious beliefs have yet to be shaken, and so "evil" mutations such as those viewed as potentially whichcraft, or demonic in origin, make her very uncomfortable, and she would judge and avoid such classmates almost unfairly quick.</li><li>While in her lupine form, Wolfsbane can not orally communicate with others. Instead she has the vocal chords of a wolf and therefore barks, growls, and howls as one. Although in this form she is capable of communicating telepathically it's often hard to do so clearly. While she may retain her human consciousness, she is more prone to wild behavior. This can sometimes dull her intelligence or override her usually up-right and moral consciousness.</li></ul><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Connections</span>:<ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Laura Kinney / Wolverine</em> - Laura has been Rahne's roommate for the last year. The two met shortly after Rahne arrived at the school, and while Laura's intensity initially put Rahne on edge, the two fell in quickly enough. The two still retain some rough spots (such as room cleanliness, and Laura's ever-present suspicion), but the two are nonetheless good friends. Rahne harbors a growing crush on her friend that she tries to keep hidden to the best of her abilities.</li><li><em>Antoinette Laveau / Marionette</em> - Rahne has only just met Netty recently, and hasn't formed much of an opinion about her yet. She's pretty, though, and Rahne is sure that having her and Laura as roommates now will make the year...interesting, if nothing else.</li><li><em>Rogue</em> - The two have seen each other around the school, but have only just recently been formally introduced. The Southern belle is a bit loud for Rahne's liking, and their views on mutants clash some...but nonetheless, Rogue sees a girl that needs a bit of help, and is stepping in as a sort of "big sister" for Rahne.</li></ul>[/list]

His training master was in a bad mood and took it out on him, striking Gabriel with a move he hadn't taught him how to defend against yet.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Because of his upbringing in Shi'ar space, Gabriel has a rather bizarre sense of style. Basically all of his clothes look like they're on the cutting edge of fashion, yet at the same time manage to appear strange and unique. That type of style where people <em>swear</em> they've seen your outfit before, but they just want to look cool. That's what happens when you're raised by bird people in space.<br><br>Due to genetic enhancements when he was still in the artificial womb used to replace his mother, Gabriel has been altered to be a nearly perfect physical specimen. The reason being as one of Emperor D'ken's personal slaves, he needed to be visually pleasing, as well as capable of fiercely protecting his master. As a result, in his adulthood, he stands at 6'3, and is 220lbs of nearly solid muscle. He has thick, short, dark hair. His eyes are a sharp, piercing blue. And he has well-chiseled features, such as strong cheek bones and a prominent chin. Even his scar has been modified to look aesthetically pleasing, like it was designed to fit his face.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Gabriel was raised as a slave, but he was technically bodyguard of the Emperor. This means that his lowly status as a slave outranked most other positions in the royal court. Gabriel knows about being put in his place, about punishment, about harsh treatment. He knows how to make himself small to escape attention. However, the exact inverse is also true. As D'ken's second, and a highly accomplished warrior, he has a naturally commanding presence. <br><br>He knows how to talk to people, how to gauge their reactions to him and his surroundings. Beyond business, he is surprisingly...a somewhat normal eighteen year old boy. His hormones are still raging, he has pent up emotions running wild, and he has boundless energy. He's even got a somewhat dark, and sarcastic sense of humor to help him deal with the emotional rollercoaster that has been his life. There are also moments where he seems a bit...unhinged. This is due to a literal lifetime of abuse mixed with placation and shiny things to distract him. Xavier is working with him to get him to a better mental place.<br><br><br>Gabriel understands and respects Charles' pacifist approach to the Brotherhood and the government at large. He understands that fighting them with full force can cause many more problems. He's seen it first hand in D'ken's empire. The Emperor was a cruel man and ruled as such, so Gabriel saw plenty of rebellions get crushed in his nearly eighteen years in the Shi'ar empire. But he also understands that not fighting back often means the other side of the line just have an easier time.<br><br>He completely disagrees with the government treating mutants like, well like slaves. He's lived that life, and he didn't escape a gilded cage just to get stuck in a tin one. At least with D'ken he had power and essentially anything his heart desired. Here it's just mistrust and unfair treatment without even any placation to make you think your situation is better than it is.<br><br>Gabriel also disagrees with Magneto. The Shi'ar incorporated many races into it's empire, and unless you were for example specifically slave race, racial equality was prevalent. An extra chromosome doesn't make mutants better than humans. Just naturally more powerful. Mutants shouldn't be over humans, nor humans over mutants. Equality equals power.<br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Before Gabriel Summers, there was Salem and Alex. The oldest(and only) Summers girl, and her younger brother Alex. Ask either one of them and they'd have no memory of their parents. And of course they'd have no memory of little Gabriel. Salem and Alex got separated from their parents when Christorpher's plane was attacked by a scout ship of the Shi'ar empire. There was only a single parachute, so Chris and Karen strapped their kids in and threw them from the plane to save their lives. The plane was shot down, and when authorities searched the wreckage, they didn't find any bodies. It turns out, the Shi'ar attacked the ship to acquire human slaves. <br><br>A novelty to most Shi'ar. Christopher woke up in shackles, and was told his lovely wife Katherine was now one of D'ken's concubines. While Christopher himself was sentenced to work in the mines until he died. He escaped his chains and searched the ship. He found his wife being raped by D'ken. Before he could do anything, security caught him and forced him to watch the Emperor have his way with his wife. Once he was finished, he killed her and surprised Christopher by ripping an infant from her corpse. She'd been pregnant, and now she was dead. After watching the man break in front of him, D'ken had Christopher taken away. And in secret, he incubated baby Gabriel. The mutant gene was discovered in him while he was in gene-utero, and D'ken decided to make him his personal bodyguard and slave. <br><br>His age was accelerated so he could be of use sooner, and from the moment he stepped out of the tube, his life of slavery began. He had information dumped directly into his brain to make him an effective slave. Languages for diplomacy. Math, science, etc... Multiple ways to hurt, maim, and kill. He was a warrior before he was eight, and had done horrible things before he was twelve. All in the name of Emperor D'ken. He was unflinchingly loyal, took the Emperor's ire with silent determination, and tried to enjoy the gifts he was given. And when he turned thirteen, his powers manifested. His training was intensified to teach him to control his powerful new abilities.<br><br>&nbsp;In just a year, he'd become very profficient with them. A thirteen year old wielded more power than most individuals in the Shi'ar empire. This made him dangerous, so D'ken fashioned a collar that would keep him in check. For the next four years, Vulcan rarely left D'ken's side. It was half prudence, and half paranoia. No one unwanted could get close to or harm D'ken while Vulcan was around. And as long as Vulcan was around, D'ken could keep a close eye on him. This was a sound strategy that worked for four years, and saw over two dozen beings killed or injured trying to assassinate the Emperor. It was decidedly more than that when you added in the rebel and militia attacks, etc... <br><br>Vulcan himself had so much blood on his hands. But as always, he was loyal to his Emperor; he was...no more than a dog with super powers. Until one day it seemed fate and destiny aligned to offer him freedom. In one of his drug induced fits, D'ken ordered Vulcan from his side in the wing for his harem, to his personal quarters to fetch him a particular robe. Also because of the several day long orgy/feast D'ken had been having, he'd forgotten to lock his personal computer. A computer which held files he'd often tempted Gabriel with about his life. He couldn't help himself, and he searched his name. He found the files, files which after reading he realized D'ken never would have willingly shown him. Like a typical megalomaniac, he'd detailed everything. His parents, the rape and murder of his mother, the imprisonment(and escape) of his father.<br><br>&nbsp;Everything. Gabriel wanted to murder him. Right then and there it'd be so easy to turn him to ashes. But he was a Summers; he was better than that. Or at least, he knew better than that. To kill the Emperor in his palace on the Shi'ar homeworld was suicide. He could escape though. D'ken liked to talk to Gabriel, because for the most part Gabriel kept his mouth closed and let the man speak just to hear his own voice. And through that he learned that the Shi'ar had agents on Earth. And he suggested that maybe he be sent there to help with whatever D'ken's plans were. The Imperial Guard were more than enough to keep D'ken safe for the short time he'd be away. And most of his gifts in life had been empty. A shiny thing, women, etc... He asked for a chance to see his homeworld. And in maybe his one true act of kindness, D'ken accepted. On the trip, Gabriel of course found a way to escape. He simply waited until they were close to Earth, then drained the ship of all it's power.<br><br>&nbsp;Life support, propulsion, everything immediately went to emergency power...and then Vulcan drained that too. In under a minute the ship was a floating husk in space. Vulcan blew the hatch and fired a beam into the engine. The explosion took care of the rest. After that, he rocketed down to Earth, where he was found by Moira McTaggert and helped along to Xavier's. It was almost immediately discovered by Charles psychic probe that his story about the Shi'ar was true, and he was the younger brother of Salem and Alex. Since his arrival, he's been learning about Earth and it's culture, while also trying to show Xavier that he should use him in the field. He was born and bred for combat; may as well let him do what he was made for.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Energy Manipulation:</strong> Vulcan's primary ability is the psionic ability to drain energy from other sources; and manipulate them to his will. Every other ability he possesses is a byproduct of that. His body has been genetically altered by his powers to a point where it is compatabile with essentially every form of energy. That is how he can absorb raw electricity, or nuclear power, etc... directly into his body without harm to himself. Once the energy is in Vulcan's possession, he can do basically anything he wants with it. He can even manipulate energy that still "belongs" to other people. For example, despite being immune to Salem's powers, if she were to shoot at him with an optic beam, he could absorb it, or simply make it curve around his body.<br><br><em>Energy Blasts -</em> Vulcan can concentrate the energy in his body to a single point(usually his hands or eyes) and project it out as a beam of energy. From pure force, to heat, to electricity, to light, and more, Vulcan can alter his energy to create one of these attacks. He can even expel all his energy at once like a bomb, with him being at the point of detonation.<br><br><em>Flight -</em> By surronding himself in an energy field, then propelling himself through the air, Vulcan can achieve unaided flight. The energy field protects him and any passengers from wind chill, air friction and thinks of that nature. With eneough energy supplying the field, he can even fly through space and underwater.<br><br><em>Energy Constructs -</em> Vulcan can use his energy to form shapes like force fields and the like. However, he most often simply molds his energy around an object to move it with his own form of telekinesis. <br><br><em>Energy Detection -</em> WIth his very wide range of control over energy, Vulcan can sense it as well. If the energy source is potent enough, he can sense it, like a bright spot in the darkness. He can sense mutant powers, as well as general power sources like buildings or electric plants.<br><br><em>Healing -</em> Although not a "Healing Factor" like Logan possesses, Vulcan can speed up his recovery process by fueling his body with energy. He can't grow back arms or anything crazy like that, but he is pretty hardy as a result.<br><br><em>Psionic Resistance -</em> Even Xavier himself is surprised at how strong Vulcan's mental defenses are. The reason being his energy manipulation. He naturally uses telepaths own psionic energy directed at his brain to shield it from psionic attacks. It's like a shield that grows stronger the harder you push against it. Though it is beatable with effort by a high enough level psychic like Xavier.<br><br><strong>Modified Shi'ar Uniform:</strong> Vulcan came to Earth in his customized battle armor designed for him by D'ken's top armorers. Hank made a few modifications and now it's up to X-Men standards as well.<br><br><strong>Communicator:</strong> Like all the X-Men, he has a communicator that can be used to signal his friends when he's in need of help, and vice versa. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Stamina:</strong> Vulcan's powers are mental, meaning that while he does not actually grow physicall tired using them, his brain does grow tired and fatigued over time. The more intensely and the longer he uses his powers, the faster his brain needs rest before he can use them effectively again.<br><br><strong>Energy Limits:</strong> Vulcan has a limit on how much energy his body produces, and how much he can store. When at 100% capacity, everything is fine. When <em>over</em> 100% for whatever reason, he must purge his body of the excess energy or it can lead to serious harm if he overloads himself. The exact opposite is also bad, as having too low levels of energy will leave him sluggish and lethargic. However, even when he has no energy in his reserves, he is still able to manipulate outside energy.<br><br><strong>Completely Human:</strong> Vulcan, for all his power, is still at the end of the day a really strong guy. But he's not bulletproof, he's not stabproof, he's not explosion proof. His powers rely on awareness and focus, as they are not always turned on and have to be activated. So the key is to take him by surprise. For example if he gets cracked in the shin with a bat, his forcefield would undoubtedly block the bat. However if his forcefield wasn't on, his bone would snap as easy as anyone elses. <br><br><br><strong>Arrogance:</strong> Despite being a slave, Gabriel grew up with D'ken singing his praises(well his own praises, Gabriel just got the extra) about what a well behaved boy he was, or how powerful he was, or this or that. It has had an effect of making Gabriel somewhat(a lot what) <del>arrogant</del>confident. He's spent his entire life thwarting the powerful people threatening the Emperor after all. The problem is, no matter how powerful you are, arrogance will always hinder you. So he has moments where he'll underestimate the opponent or his team, and overestimate himself. Either way is a recipe for trouble. He's working on it though.<br><br><strong>PTSD:</strong> Anyone who sits and listens to Gabriel's story will understand without a doubt why he suffers from PTSD. It was his minds way of trying to repress and compartmentalize all the trauma he was exposed to literally from his first moment of awareness and consciousness he can remember. He suffers from blackouts, panic attacks, hallucinations, and the like. The worst is when he starts to identify more with "Vulcan" than "Gabriel". When that happens, a more sinister personality surfaces. One essentially molded by D'ken into what he thought was a good person. It's rare, but when he shows up it's a good idea to calm him down or put him to sleep quickly.<br>&nbsp;<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><br><em>Salem Summers -</em> There are 3 Summers kids. Salem, Alex, and Gabriel. Salem is Gabriel's sister, and the oldest of the three. He doesn't know her well yet, but he's spending all the time she'll let him have with her, as he's never had a family before and quite likes it.<br><br><em>Alex Summers -</em> The second Summers child, Alex is Gabriel's older brother. He's a bit closer to Gabriel in age, and it's easier to hang out with a boy than a girl. But he still has just as much fun with Salem as Alex.<br><br><em>Christopher Summers -</em> The father of the Summerses. Gabriel doesn't know him, but he likes to think he's a good man. And maybe, one day they'll meet. He knows he escaped the mines, but aside from that, he can only hope for the best..

He had to put on a power nullifier each time.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> <br><br>Peter - In his natural human state, Peter still manages to stand out despite thinking he looks pretty normal. He stands at 6'6 and is heavily muscled(250lbs) from a lifetime of farm work and constant physical training. He has a handsome face and a strong jawline, and his eyes are a fierce ice blue. He usually keeps his facial hair neat and trimmed in a goatee, but sometimes he'll let it form into a full beard or just shave it off. As a farm boy, he tends to wear comfortable clothes that can just as easily be worked in as relaxed in. So you'll usually see him in t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, boots, etc...<br><br>Colossus - In his armored form, Peter looks much the same, yet distinctly different. His height is raised by almost a foot at 7'5, and while not visible, due to being made of one of the most dense metals in existence, he weighs a full metric ton. His body at this point has become a metallic substance that resembles Osmium, so he appears to be Peter, but entirely made of metal. All hair on his body "fuses" so it appears to be a single piece instead of individual strands. His eyes become metallic as well and are simply pure white. For some reason, his body appears segmented, like it's made of multiple bands of metal with clear seams up and down his arms, legs, and torso. Strangely enough though, his face is smooth and feet are smooth, while his hands appear much more intricate. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Despite his intimidating size and appearance(6'6 - 250lbs) Piotr is a quiet, kind, and gentle man.&nbsp; While many his age would prefer to go out on an evening in town, Peter would prefer to stay at home with his loved ones and play a game or paint or read. When he does go out, he is usually the quiet one of the group who says very little but listens to everything. He says that he has two ears and only one tongue, so he listens twice as much as he talks. In reality, he feels awkward and shy in social settings around a lot of people he doesn't know – shallow and meaningless conversation makes him uncomfortable.<br><br>Get to know Peter though... it's worth the effort to find out who he truly is. He is unflinchingly loyal to those who have won his friendship and he would give them the shirt off his back if they needed it or tunnel through hell to save a fellow's life. He has always been a good listener and is very slow to judge most of the time; also very good at keeping the confidence of others. A man of simple tastes, he prefers honesty over lies, feeling that it only complicates life and that anyone you spend valuable time with should be someone with whom you can be honest.<br><br>Piotr's temper resembles the material that he encases himself in – it is durable and not easily bent or cracked. In other words, he is slow to anger, preferring to listen to people and talk things through intelligently. However, as with any material, apply enough force and Colossus will break; when Colossus does lose his temper, it is a sight to behold. Despite his demeanor, Piotr does have anger issues... due mainly to his own inability to open up to people or express his own feelings. Instead he tends to bottle them up, using his own anger and frustration as fuel for working out or training or those times when he does snap.<br><br>Piotr agrees with Charles. Pacificity is a valid way to bring about change. Although he does think the Brotherhood need to be smacked down <em>hard</em> and locked away to a degree that other mutants will stop suffering because of their actions.<br><br>He is wholeheartedly against the governments treatment of mutants. He does understand there are powerful mutants out there; he himself is one and he personally knows at least 20 who could give small armies a run for their money. But treating them like cattle and watching them like Big Brother only serves to foster mistrust between human and mutant.<br><br>He'd punch Magneto in the face if he could. No matter what he has gone through, his actions are inexcusable. In fact, they are worse as he has been the victim of his methods for decades and is actively using them against innocents. He's worse than the problem he's fighting against.<br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> <br>Peter was a devoted older brother and always watched out for his little "Snowflake". Farm life was simple and hard in a place as cold as Siberia, but it was all young Piotr knew so he had no reason to complain. And when he had time to himself, he found release for any problems in art. He would even paint for others of the collective in return for supplies or favors; sometimes he even got money. It wasn't much, but he could buy candies for himself and his sister from time to time. Life was pretty normal all things considered, but one day everything changed. He had just turned fourteen and had the amazing(not really) talk with his parents that he could do more chores around the farm, but of course he would still be treated as a child. He was a good boy though so he did as he was told.<br><br>&nbsp;A few weeks later, his sister was playing by the barn and a tractor got out of control. The gas pedal jammed and the steering column locked due to the cold. Illyana was still a child and was so engrossed with her dolls that she didn't notice the death machine rumbling down on her. Piotr was close by, and was already running for her before his father even got the chance to yell at him. He reached his sister, but there was no time to get either of them out of the way. Something miraculous happened though, and there was a sound of clanking metal as he suddenly got bigger. He was still confused, but remained in between the tractor and his sister until it hit him. Then nothing. It hit him and crumpled against his outstretched arms with a loud crash. Finally looking down at himself, he saw his skin was shiny and his hand prints were embedded in the front of the tractor.<br><br>&nbsp;His father, mother, and everyone else who saw came running over, trying to see if Illyana was okay, but also looking at Piotr. He'd crushed a tractor like it was cardboard, and now stood among them as a giant, easily six and a half feet tal. It didn't take a genius to realize he was a mutant, but instead of being shunned, he was praised as a hero. Even though he'd destroyed one of the few working tractors on the farm, his powers allowed him to do much more than a single tractor ever could. The young Rasputin enjoyed his new found popularity in the Collective, but it didn't last for long. Only a few weeks later, Charles Xavier showed up and offered him a place at the Institute, where he could learn to hone his powers. He joined the X-Men after coming to America, and has gone on many adventures with them.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Organic Steel Transformation:</strong>&nbsp; Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance, becoming not only taller, but larger as well. This substance resembling steel is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel; which explains why he's so damn heavy(He weighs a metric ton). He is able to transform into this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form until he decides to revert to normal.<br><br>After an exhaustive amount of tests and studies run on him, the general consensus from people far more intelligent than he theorize that the conversion from flesh and bone to organic steel is accomplished by a psionic whole-brain interface with an ionic form of osmium, an extremely dense metal, located in another dimension. In willing the act of transformation, Colossus actually exchanges osmium atoms for his carbon atoms. The psionic interface with the other dimension re-creates all of Colossus's body in functionally similar organic ionic-osmium materials. And due to the unique makeup of his organic steel body, blood and organs seem to be replaced with a form of bio-energy that performs the same functions. The process by which Colossus gains additional mass from an unknown, perhaps extra-dimensional, force remains unknown. While he doesn't have many weaknesses, being so heavy means he has to watch his step as he can and has found himself falling through floors because they couldn't support his weight. Once he even had to shift back to his human form because the X-Jet wasn't calibrated for his weight and was performing sluggishly as a result. <br><br><strong>Superhuman Strength:</strong> While in his armored state, Colossus possesses a colossal degree of superhuman strength, allowing him to perform feats of strength like throwing tanks, toppling or holding up buildings, and scrapping with beings with high end superhuman strength. His strength goes beyond simply lifting and punching, however, as it extends into his legs as well. Meaning aside from kicks that can cause rockslides and stomps that can cause localized tremors, he can travel great distances by leaping through the air. Colossus is considered to be one of the physically strongest mutants in the world.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Durability:</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;In his armored form, Colossus is nearly invulnerable to all forms of physical harm. Bullets, energy attacks, long falls, and even attacks from other superhumanly strong opponents tend to get shrugged off. He can be hurt of course, but it takes a high amount of force to sufficiently hurt him. He is called Colossus for a reason. <br><br><strong>Superhuman Speed/Agility:</strong> Surprising to not only him when he first discovered it, but to others as well, Colossus in his armored form is incredibly agile and fast. One would think that weighing as much as he does and being comprised of solid metal would make him slower, but it's actually the opposite. Due to his bio-energy and the efficiency of his muscles and skeletal structure being enhanced to such a degree, Colossus can move around faster than people would believe until they see it(and even then they still don't), and has often surprised opponents with his sheer speed. In fact one of his favored methods of attack is launching himself at his opponents and curling up like a human wrecking ball. <br><br><strong>Superhuman Stamina:</strong> In his armored form he is completely sustained by his bio-energy, so he has no need for food, liquids, or sleep while armored up. Also as he is made of metal, his body doesn't get tired like a flesh and blood one would, allowing him to physically exert himself for extremely long periods of time. <br><br><strong>Anti-Magical Body:</strong> Colossus' metal body is extremely resistant, if not outright immune to most magical effects. He has proven this several times, although no one has been able to figure out the reason why. Perhaps it's simply the composition of his body. Or maybe due to the inherent magic in his bloodline(His grandfather Grigori "The Mad Russian" Rasputin and his sister), he is immune to it's effects. Whatever the reason, it has served him well.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Super Duper Heavyweight:</strong> Colossus weighs over 1 ton. He himself weighs more than 1200lbs. While his weight and density obviously attribute greatly to his strength and power, they also mean he is a victim to physics. Weighing as much as he does, it is impossible for him to float. Swimming is doable, but if he doesn't put in effort, he will simply sink until he touches bottom. This also means structurally weak buildings, floors, etc... aren't capable of holding his weight.<br><br><strong>Metal Man:</strong> Colossus' armored form is comprised of what is essentially a form of Osmium. It is very heavy, and very dense...but it is also very magnetic. In his armored form, he is completely at the mercy of magnetics(as Magneto has proven multiple times). Also due to him being completely metal, should he be exposed to Antartic Vibranium and have no way to change back to normal, his metal would liquefy and he'd die.<br><br><strong>Flesh &amp; Blood:</strong> Like many mutants, Colossus' power isn't always activated. And since his changes his entre body to armored metal, it's kind of important that he use his powers to deal with lethal threats. Simply put, if he's not shiny and clanking when he walks, he's as easy to kill as the next Joe Blow.<br><br><br><strong>Gentle Giant:</strong> Growing up as big and as strong as Piotr, but surrounded by delicate things(farm animals, his little sister, other children) and having a kind heart meant one thing. He was a big ole' softie. Till this day, Colossus does not like confrontation despite being one of the main members of the X-Men. He will always seek an alternative if he can find one. He will engage in violence if necessary, but he holds back as much as possible. He only wants to beat their enemies, not cripple them.<br><br><strong>Repression:</strong> Piotr is not always as joyous and cheerful as he seems. He tends to hold things in, as people see him as the one they need to vent to, not the other way around. As a result, he has a lot of emotions bottled up just ready to explode. And it's bad when they do. The last time Colossus snapped was when Nightcrawler and Shadowcat got hurt by the Marauders. Riptide was unlucky enough to be in his path and despite his best efforts, the man had his neck snapped by an enraged Russian titan.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>His is a world class artist.

"First do no harm." Even after what he has done and been trough he makes an effort to abide by that and encourages others to do so as well. He feels sorry for other with similar power to him and what they have bene through but will expect them to be wise. He dislikes the US government's actions but understands them. He very much dislikes the brotherhood and their acts of violence. Even if he hates you to your core as long as you are not a monster beyond redemption he will try to keep you alive. He is a doctor after all.<br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong>His life has been an interesting one. He actually didn't know he was anything special for most of it. Living a nice comfortable life with his wealthy family. Never getting sick and attributing it to luck really. Going to medical school because it was the right thing to do and because he wanted to help people. Enlisting in the military because he needed to save his country during the second great war. Jumping on a grenade because others lives mattered more. He was going to die a hero's death in the second great war as far as he knew when he did that. <br><br>Only he didn't die. He lived although he was in immense pain and left on the ground for a while as his fellow soldiers walked past what they thought was his corpse. He laid there simply coming to terms with it all. The pain, the fear, and the fact that he was still alive. It took a little while but he eventually stood up with his uniform in tatters as he went right back to work trying to save those injured around him. <br><br>He made his way back to camp and they were amazed to see him as they gave him new clothes to wear. He worked in the medical tent from there on out as the British government didn't want him playing war hero again. He worked hard to save the lives he could and soon started to realize that his work went much differently when he didn't use gloves. When he had neither the time or the resources to cover his hands it was if his touch could heal. <br><br>It was exactly that and after some safe testing, he knew that not only could he not die but he could give his great health to others for a time. He wondered what else he could do with his gift. A gift that seemed perfect for a man like him. He was using it to save every soldier he could. Even the german ones he was asked not to by the commanding officers. Everyone was praising him as such a skilled physician as he would dose them with morphine so they didn't notice how he would save them. <br><br>He went on like that until he had an enemy leader in his hands. This was another man he was told not to save but this time the order to keep him alive came from higher and they all had to listen. This man was a member of the SS and it was his previous job to run one of the camps everyone was starting to hear about. They needed information from him and they needed him alive so Robert took off his gloves and tried to heal the man as he wished him dead. <br><br>It didn't work, to say the least, as the man screamed and cried and seemed to dissolve and crumble in Robert's hands. No one else saw as he took his hands off the very clear corpse and had to put a sheet over hi as he informed his commanding officers with a frown that the man was dead. The man had been a monster but even so it was Robert's duty to save hm and he had failed. He had done more than failed, he had taken his first life and he didn't like the feeling.<br><br>He returned from the war decorated and looking for a purpose. Wondering how he fit into the world with what he could do. Everything he could do. He had a private practice for a few years before realizing he wasn't aging anymore and soon people might notice. It caused him to move. To travel the world and set up a place for a few years wherever he went until many years later he heard of other people like him and a school for them. It was big news for him as it seemed to finally be a place where he didn't have to hide what he could do it took him many years to learn exactly where it was and many years more to actually get there. By that time mutants were a very public issue and he knew he would need to get there soon or someone would decide they didn't like that their doctor couldn't die. He arrived in time to see the government take action against mutants. To see them first have to get registered and then worse. It reminded him of the war in all the worse ways. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Healing Factor:</strong> He has the fastest healing factor ever recorded and have been known to heal so quickly that most cuts and bruises don't get time to show up. Missing limbs take minutes to heal back and according to him he once grew back from just part of his head. <br><br><strong>Power transfer:</strong> He can give the full or partial effects of his power to others through any skin to skin contact. He keeps what portion he does not give away and can give up his powers to others to make them heal like he can or to make them do quite the opposite just as quickly. He has only done that once and still regrets it to this day. <br><br><strong>Doctors bag:</strong> Not very useful when he can cure most things through a simple touch but it's good for seeing what is wrong with someone and addressing any wounds if more than one person is injured at a time.

Usually, jeans a T-shirt and a hoodie are worn over that.&nbsp; <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Armando generally just wants to help people. At this point in his life, he knows that he has nothing to fear in regards to himself but pain and that only lasts a second. His only real fear is not being able to save people or help those he cares about. His powers and body work to keep him alive not others and it can lead him to become deeply depressed if he tries and fails to help others. He had even tried suicide in the past when people he cared about died but it never works thanks to his powers. When not depressed he is almost overly cheery and looking to make help others laugh and enjoy life. He hates most government agencies thanks to what happened to him. He disagrees with the brotherhood fully as he dislikes the idea of just about anyone killing anyone. He'd rather thing be solved without any death. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Armando had a nice normal life with his single mother trying to raise him as best she could up until he turned five. That's when things got strange and even harder for him. It started with a pot of boiling water falling on him and while it did hurt it left no marks. His mother quickly realized he shouldn't have lived let alone got through it unharmed and bragged about her miracle child to her friends. He was the talk of the town. Right up until the government agents came. <br><br>They seemed nice, they offered to take Armando somewhere to peacefully figure out what he could do and in return, he would get a free education from the state. His mom didn't want to say yes but with Armando looking less and less human as the days went by after his accident she was having a harder time finding reasons to keep raising him when he could have a better life. Or so they both thought. <br><br>There wasn't an education at the end of the tests. There wasn't even ever an end to the tests. They started mostly harmless and peaceful seeing what things could hurt him. How his body reacted to water. What a light hit would do afterward. It wasn't long before they did much worse. Seeing what a knife would do, what Lava would do, Acid, electricity, guns, extreme pressure, The list went on and on for years as Darwin simply suffered. Unable to escape and unable to die no matter what they did to him. He was in hell from ages five to 20. Right up until they started to try and replicate what he could do. <br><br>It didn't work at all at first. The test subjects had nothing happen to them at all. It took them time to get it right but that was an overstatement. All if it ever amounted to was a one-time permanent use fo his powers. They would grow gills they couldn't get rid off. Become made of stone and unable to move. Things that might be useful but were hard to replicate. The project was scrapped and the testing was mostly halted as they tried to decide what to do with Armando. Security got lax and Armando was abe to get out of his cell. It only took once chance for him to escape so he could go and finally see the outside world he had barely ever lived in.<br><br>He wandered for a year or so before he heard of Xavier's school. At first, he thought it was just like the fake school of his childhood that lead him to be a lab rat but the more he listened the more he wanted to go there. After the years of testing, he barely looked human and it was only a matter of time before people had a problem with how he looked. So he went to find this school and finally learn something. Finally get some sort fo education. Finally get to know and help people.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta to possible Alpha if certain traits are caused. (Like fighting anything slightly magical.)<br><br><strong>Adaptive body:</strong> His body and mind will adapt to survive in any situation at all. Nothing can actually kill him yet any attack geared towards capturing him rather than killing him tends to work without issue unless you caused other adaptations first. Adaptations stay active until they aren't useful anymore so gills are gone once he's put of water. He can also learn things like languages or scientific information when needed to help him survive but it is gone once he is done with the knowledge he needed to help him live. He has zero control over his powers other than convincing himself something is vital to survival which sometimes works.<br><br><strong>Adaptive suit:</strong> A suit made for him that will adapt to his ever-changing body and remain intact and it works as a basic armor like most x men suits. It's mostly worn to make sure he doesn't randomly become nude at school. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>No control:</strong> He can not control his powers usually unless they are very minor changes or through prior experience of how he reacts to things. <br><br><strong>Reactive power:</strong> His power is entirely reactionary and as a result, if forces do not act upon him in any way or do not act upon him in a way to hurt or kill him he is basically human. In any fight, you can ignore him and he will be near worthless. Or restrain him without harming him and put him out of commission. <br><br><br><strong>Depression:</strong> He is prone to being deeply depressed and doubting if his life has purpose or meaning. This usual happens when he doesn't stop others from getting hurt or when his mind gets rid of things he learned in class that he wanted to actually learn not just be given by his powers. <br><br>

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

A day that means the spotlight isn’t put on him is a good day in his eyes; Long sleeve shirts, button ups, sweaters, and a pair of glasses somewhere between hipster and nerd. <br><br>Now that he’s joined as a faculty member of Xaviers, he has been given a ‘uniform’. Though, even compared to some of his peers, it's fairly toned down with solid yellows and blacks combined. A pair of yellow goggles are the only real accents to differentiate him from the standard uniform. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br><br>More than the ability to use other people's skills, David seems to wish that invisibility was his power. An introvert by nature, his upbringing and social situation only increased his discomfort with being at the certain of attention. In a group he tries to fall into the support roles so as to help others while not letting the focus be on him. <br><br>He does relish helping others in the ways that he can. The son of a Doctor and a teacher, he understands better than most that no person exists in a vacuum and everyone needs help with something. Sometimes it’s a shoulder to lean on, other times it’s a kind voice to explain a tough concept. It’s one of the reason that he was happy to tutor students privately back at his old university, and why he’s undertaking the same task at Xavier’s.<br><br>And while he still hasn’t quite accepted his place in the world as a mutant, he’s had years to intercept the world around him in regards to mutants and humanity. Charles Xavier he views as… well someone he’d like to be one day. A man who only seems to want to help the world, and who is utterly convicted in his beliefs. Though, as Magneto proves, conviction alone is not enough. The idea of Magneto’s proposed genocide, for lack of a better time, turned David’s stomach from the first time he heard it. Is that how mutants will be remembered in the history books? Violent and unwilling to debate? With mutants like that, with that power, David understands the government’s actions. He may not agree with every step they take but the overall goal, trying to ensure those who are a threat to themselves or others aren’t a danger, is a necessary one for the time being. <br><br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong>&nbsp; David Alleyne was born to Christopher and Dorothy Alleyne in an upper class suburb of Chicago. From a young age he seemed to excel in school, and his parents were happy to encourage his academic progress. A sense of isolation in the young man just seemed to propel him further. Being the only black child in most of his classrooms made David feel uneasy even from a young age, all of his classmates and even some teachers treating him differently without obvious reason. So instead of trying to break down those walls, he just threw himself into his studies. <br><br>It wasn’t until he was 14, starting to apply to colleges, that David realized that the college of his skin wasn’t the only thing that set him apart. His mutant abilities were starting to emerge, letting him know skills that others possessed for as long as he was close to them. And the other thing setting him apart… well, as he was moving through puberty, it wasn’t only girls that caught his eyes. Knowing that there were already so many things that set him apart from other, David did his best to hide himself. Outside of the fact that he was incredibly smart and was&nbsp; finishing two years early, his graduating class knew almost nothing about him. <br><br>Even in college, David found himself not fully able to let loose. Sexuality and Race weren’t the dividers they’d been earlier in his life but mutants were still looked down on if not downright tormented. So he hid, passed as a normal human, did his best to study in private so that he could actually learn the subjects he was trying to excel in. Graduating just a few months after his 18th birthday with a degree in Mathematics, David stayed within Academia and did post graduate work for years until finally the charade broke. <br><br>He was 23. Doing grant work for the University, David was part of a team tasked with creating ‘The Mutant Algorithm’. He could never find out who was funding the research, but he could figure out what the ultimate goal was; to quantify the risk factors for mutations, and, from there, to find a way to minimize the mutant birthrate. To end the mutant race quietly, without anyone being the wiser. It was too much for him. David might have hidden himself for years but that sort of long term eugenics plan was too much. The grad student had a mental breakdown before destroying the research and all of its backups and finally revealing to his fellow students that he was a mutant. <br><br>Outed as a mutant by one his fellow grad students, David was forced to register with the government. As he was deciding his fate from that point on, he received an invitation for a teaching position at Xavier’s Academy. He accepted within a day of receiving the offer. All he could hope was that teaching young mutants who had the courage to accept who they were long before he did would help make the world a better place. <br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Delta (?)<br><br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <br>Psychomimetic: David possess the ability to utilize the skills and knowledge of anyone within a close enough range. The ability allows him to copy both physical skills (such as martial arts forms) or mental (such as knowledge of a foreign language) with equal aptitude. This also lends him a small bit of pre-cognition in a fight.<br>It should be noted that he is unable to retain skills obtained in this way. Once the person leaves his immediate proximity, David loses the knowledge within a few seconds.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong><br>The Hud: A yellow/Orange visor with a digital display, allowing for easy access to a variety of data. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> <br><br>David only has access to the abilities of others so long as he is close to them. Moving out his immediate vicinity, he only has about ten seconds before the skills start to fade. <br><br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> <br><br><br>Severely Introverted - David spent years hiding aspects of himself. The fact that he was Bi. The fact that he was a mutant. He even tried to act ‘less Black’ when he was in school in an attempt to fit in more with others. If there are problems with himself that might cause others to think of him differently, he will almost always hide the problem and not address it. He’d much rather not be the center of attention and avoid confrontation<br><br>Lack of a self identity - After hiding significant parts of himself for years, David struggles with understanding who he really is in a vacuum. He tries to fill roles needed in a group, not really knowing who he actually his. There are fears that he isn’t ‘black enough’, that he shouldn’t call himself a mutant because he can pass, that he doesn’t express his sexuality enough. It’s enough to make David question what any of it means, who he is, and if he’ll even be able to connect to cultures he ignored for so long.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Laura Kinney - Since coming to the Academy David has been tutoring Laura. While she is smart, it's clear that whatever happened before she came to Xavier's left some gaps in her academic knowledge. <br><br>James Howlett - Even though he's only been at a the school the same amount of time as David, it's hard to not think of 'Logan' as a mentor and a source of wisdom. <br><br>Salem Summers - David thinks of Salem as a bright young woman. Though she can be a bit standoffish, he appreciates her logical and analytical mind. It was why he made her a TA for a few of his classes. <br><br>Rahne Sinclar - A&nbsp; student in one of his 'core' math classes, She seems intelligent enough though a bit inside her own shell. Knowing how much of a struggle introversion can be, he typically leaves her be and gives her praise whenever she does attempt to answer a question in class.&nbsp; <br><br>Armando Muñoz - Given Armondo's lack of any sort of formal education, David has been trying to work with his fellow mutant and tutor him in a variety of subjects. Armando has proven quite adaptable and a quick study, but there are so many gaps in him knowledge that it's been a challenge. <br><br>Gabriel Summers - <br><br>Piotr Rasputin - <br><br>Katherine Pryde - Like any highschool student, Kitty Pryde seemed initially less than enthusiastic to study the fields of mathmatics. But letting her assist him in the programming of the danger room, eventually letting her have more reign and just double checking her work, seemed to do wonders to make her think more of him. And explaining just how helpful algorithms would be in creating efficient programs seemed to finally make her atleast somewhat accepting. <br><br>Jean Grey - Jean Grey was actually one of the few friends that David had of his own age before he came to Xavier's. They met as the children of two professors, and grew close over the years. Friendship grew into a brief romance before both realized that they needed friends more. Now that they're both in the manor again though, it seems like they've fallen back into the old routines of friendship easily. <br><br>Charles Xavier - David still remembers reading some of Professor Xavier's papers while going through school. He's always looked up to the man, both as an academic and a leader. And since coming to the school, David has found that Charles seems to respect his opinion on a great many things. As they play chess, many topics come up for discussion. <br><br>Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock - Even though it's known that David was a research scientist, very few actually know the extent of what his brain trust was trying to do. Charles Xavier of course. And, surprisingly, Betsy Braddock. Not because of her abilities though; she knows because she was there the night he destroyed the research. All he saw were a few glimpses of a beautiful woman and the flash of steel flying towards him. But seeing her again at Xavier's he knew it was her. Which has made trying to teach her something as ordinary Algebra a challenging affair. <br>

She will stand by those who are friends, and will work hard to take on people who are against her. Trust is fairly easy to gain, and even easier to lose. Once lost, it is extremely difficult to gain it back.<br><br>-Charles's pacifist and gentle approach to the Brotherhoods rampant violence. <em>Mr. Xavier is a great man, and a wonderful teacher.

But aren't they just proving the point of scared humans? You want to change the perception, go about it the right way!</em><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Kitty's life began like any other. She grew up in Illinois, in a quaint suburb with a mother and father who loved her. Elementary school she showed promise as a bright student, and Kitty always had lots of friends. Even at the start of middle school, Kitty was popular and smart. Her friends always liked her, and her teachers seemed to think she would have a promising future, something that brought her parents lots of pride.<br><br>Everything seemed to change when she turned 13. While she continued to do well, when she turned 13, Kitty began to have really bad headaches. At first, it seemed that she was just complaining. But passing out in class one day showed that she was serious. Her parents took her to the hospital, though they couldn't find anything. No doctors truly saw anything wrong, but they were all looking for something wrong wIt's her brain. The issues were more complex...her body was changing, because her powers were beginning to flourish.<br><br>Before her 14th birthday, her powers seemed to blossom. Kitty was introduced to her phasing abilities by falling asleep in her bed, and waking up on her fathers desk. It took a few weeks for her to gain some form of control over her powers, but by then, she had gained the attention of the government. Luckily for Kitty, she had also gained the attention of Charles Xavier, who had brought her on to become a student at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. It has been here that she has stayed since turning 14, and has enjoyed working with the school, and with the X-Men.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> "Phasing". Kitty is able to phase through solid objects without harm to herself. She has learned to be able to phase objects and people that she is touching, but has not learned to "phase" through the air to learn to fly. She also cannot phase through things she cannot see. She is also a millennial, and as such is a computer whiz. Kitty is also an accomplished martial artist.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> Being able to phase, Kitty doesn't often wear armor. However, in battle she will carry electrified batons, which she can use with wonderful effect of disabling her opponent.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> Strength: Kitty isn't super-human in the way of strength. She cannot take someone with superhuman strength. <br><br>Mystical: while phasing, Kitty is vulnerable to mystical attacks (like Jean Greys psychic abilities).<br><br>Respiratory: Kitty cannot breathe while phasing through solid or liquid objects. Because of this, her phasing only lasts as long as she can hold her breath. This does not cause problems when phasing through people, as she has seen that phasing limbs through enemies can cause them immense damage, but does not hurt her.<br><br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> Kitty can be jealous to a fault. She has also been known to be exceptionally vindictive.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>COLOSSUS - Kitty and Piotr have an odd relationship of sorts. Technically they are keeping a very strict teacher/student dynamic. However, this hasn't stopped them from giving each other the occasional "look". If asked, Kitty would absolutely poo-poo any idea of romantic feelings towards the massive man. However, deep down, she know that there is something in him that she wants to see more of. That he is easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.<br><br>PRODIGY - Kitty hated math. Okay, so she doesn't HATE it, but it has never been her favorite subject. At least, not until David came along. When he told her the importance of math in coding, and how it can be used for Danger Room scenarios, she was all in, absolutely. Now she thinks of him like a mentor.<br><br>LEGION - She has know Legion for as long as she has been at the school. Or rather, know OF him. He is one of the only people she feels comfortable telling her story too, and opening up to. Him and all his personalities..though a couple she tends to stay guarded with. Still, he is worth talking too, and has made the transition to the school a lot easier than it could have been.<br><br>CYCLOPS - best friends for LIFE! Despite the age difference, these two are as thick as thieves! Kitty loves Salem to death, and gods above help anyone that would cross her!

For battle she uses the standard insulated body suits the X-Men are known for. Something that allows for free movement. If going into battle, she may employ some type of shock absorbers into the suit for protection in case something gets through her telekinetic shields.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Jean is highly empathic towards others and is able to ‘feel’ and perceive others emotions, which means she is more likely to be compassionate towards others by putting herself in their shoes. Some may believe this means she is a pushover, however that is not the case. Jean has a hot temper that is quick to flare up at times, and her stubbornness comes through once she has made up her mind about something, but she is not above apologizing when she is wrong. Jean enjoys getting to know people and being there for them. She sees all X-Men-—the good and the not so good—-as a family and will defend them no matter what. <br><br>Jean Grey does not believe in concepts of fate and destiny, preferring to make her own choices through life. If she feels like a certain path is being imposed on her, she will fight it until she is certain that it is what she wants.<br><br>Having a great deal of respect for Charles Xavier and his dream of peaceful coexistence, Jean remains in the school and strives to show mutants are just like everyone else. Xavier is her mentor and has been since she was a child so she will agree with his views most of the time, however she sometimes feels like he bends a little too much under the government and wishes she could do more for mutantkind. <br><br>Jean is not very confident in the government tagging mutants as she believes it is a steep slope towards mutants being taken to internment camps. For the sake of Xavier’s dream she maintains a civil approach, but she will not allow any forceful subjugation or ill-treatment of mutants, especially young ones like her niece and nephew. <br><br>Magneto’s views of supremacy are something Jean stands against with the rest of the X-Men. She has never quite agreed with his agenda and refuses to condone his methods. So long as the X-Men are around she will help fight him as she believes his actions only fans the flames of humans’ distrust towards mutants.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Jean Grey’s telepathy first manifested as a child when her mind linked with her dying friend Annie’s. The trauma of that experience left her nearly catatonic and she suffered from depression until Charles Xavier came into her life and helped block those powers so he could ‘rehabilitate’ her mind. He became a mentor, friend, and father figure. Soon enough she was able to return to a semi-normal life and her demeanor brightened considerably. <br><br>Joining the X-Men while still a teenager, Jean was one of the five original team members. She developed her telekinesis exclusively until she was mature enough that Xavier decided to slowly unlock her telepathy. Over the years she has grown in character and mastery of her powers, though sometimes it can be overwhelming for her. Along the X-Men she has battled some of the most formidable foes.<br><br>Jean took some time off to go to college and has also had jobs outside of the X-Men. However she has returned to the fold and now tries to keep the peace with the government and also to stop the Brotherhood of Mutants from terrorizing civilians. She looks out for the younger generation of mutants and it is for them that she tries so hard to take the high road. She believes the X-Men are responsible for shaping the type of future these kids will live in. They have to set the example and build a better tomorrow by their own hand. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha level (per the rules)<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> Telepathy<br><br>The ability to read and project thoughts. She is sensitive to stray thoughts but can shield her mind from probes or camouflage her presence. She can cast illusions onto other minds. This ability can be used, depending on the opponent, to wipe their minds or control their thoughts, even altering the minds’ perceptions of what is happening to the body. <br><br>Xavier has taught Jean how to project her psyche into the astral plane for information gathering or combat, whenever necessary. In this form she can communicate long range with others, however astral projection usually requires the physical body to shut down and therefore remain exposed to any hostile element. <br><br>In battle, Jean can use psychic blasts that damage the minds of others. She can link her mind with others to maintain group communication, but the more people are linked the more concentration is required and it could make her lower her guard.<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> Telekinesis<br><br>Manipulating psychokinetic energy, Jean Grey can lift and move objects with her mind, as well as manipulate them to a certain degree. She can also lift herself and others to simulate flight and project kinetic blasts of concussive force or use defensively as a shield or force field. <br><br>For more delicate situations, Jean can use telekinesis to touch objects in the vicinity, such as a closed room, used as a kind of sonar to ‘see’ the inside with her mind. With more finesse, she can open locks and can affect electronic machinery such as computers or vehicles.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> Jean has been taught to use Cerebro to amplify her telepathy and widen her reach.

This could be through sound or super powers such as wind or shifting the ground under her. Also, pushing her powers too much will cause a mental strain and she will have to limit her attention to what is in front of her, potentially leaving her exposed. <br><br>Genoshian collars and power dampeners will affect her as any other mutant.<br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> Fiery temper and stubbornness (see personality).

She has a tattoo of a voodoo mask on her back, taking up most of the space. Her nipples are pierced (but you really wouldn’t know that by looking at her).&nbsp; <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Generally, Netty dresses in a very boho sort of way. Sometimes she is punk and other times she is earthy, just like her long dreads. When she fights, she wears a tight fitted leather outfit and short black boots.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Netty is the sort of person that usually has an opinion about everything. Though she didn’t get through school the way she wanted, there has always been this sort of intelligence and wisdom behind her thoughts. Ultimately, Netty does not deal well with unnecessary confrontation. Her views on the X-Men and Brotherhood are neutral, for the most part. While she believes that mutants shouldn’t have to go through life being afraid - she also can’t condone senseless violence. This alone shows Netty’s gentle heart.<br><br>As most people do, she has fears and dreams. Being alone, isolate, or other words - useless, are a few of those biggest fears. Most of her life she felt alone and isolated from her family. They didn’t like her for more reasons than one. She is a rebel, lesbian, and a mutant. All things that she couldn’t exactly control. How she viewed things and how she approached them are what made her so different from her siblings. <br><br>While the government may see a reason to fear people like her, she never figured it would turn into some sort of internment camp. No human being, human or otherwise, should have to feel afraid in their own home. Many hid it away, some had an easier time than others. Netty, unfortunately didn’t have that privilege. <br><br>Despite her somewhat serious nature, she can be playful for the right one. An infectious attitude for keeping positive, even at the worst of times, is what keeps her going. Netty hasn’t given up yet - which makes her a great asset.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> The beginning life of a mutant was often cliche and stereotypical. This was not different for Antoinette. She grew up just outside of Baton Rouge, a small little creole area. Her family, well - they were upper middle class Americans. The standard for her was to be the same. To grow up a normal human being with the same ideals as the rest of her family. Well, not the entire family. Her brother - Byron, was the only person that understood her. Even with this support, she often found herself failing school and hanging out with the wrong crowd. <br><br>To top it all off, she was a lesbian. Life was hard because of that reason alone, but the discovery of her mutant powers made things much more difficult to get used to. When her family found out, they tried every damn source to get her “fixed”. This led to a very abusive and toxic relationship. <br><br>Antoinette was constantly ridiculed, put down, and treated as lesser. School became a no go - she found herself dropping out completely. It was when her family threw her out that she was found by those that were the same as her. She was reluctant at first, unsure if school was still a good thing for her. After wallowing in her discomfort, she really saw no other choice. At Xavier’s she would be clothed, fed, and taught how to use her powers properly. <br><br>It was the next step to self-discovery. And even with impending doom, she manages to keep her head on tight.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <br>Manipulation || Antoinette has the ability to create, shape, and manipulate strings and thread.

Wears his hair in long dreadlocks and rarely shaves. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Bishop wears a plain red bandana around his neck at all times, no matter what else he's wearing. He tends to dress very casually, mostly wearing loose fitting jeans and hoodies. Since leaving military service he hasn't had a day that he's attempted to look smart.&nbsp; <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Lucas Bishop considers himself a man of two halves. One of peace and one of war. In times of calm he is extremely relaxed, finding little time for stress or interest in thinking about the little things. He has a great deal of faith, which he keeps to himself. A belief that there is more to life than meets the eye, and that the good will eventually overcome evil. Many carry a symbol of their faith, and for him it is a small red bandana he ties around his neck. He considers it a blessing and dislikes removing it for any reason. <br><br>Since leaving military duty he has found a great deal of enjoyment in fine arts. Painting, music and literature are favourites of his. He finds it often surprises people, given his military history and large build. Although he does still maintain a rigorous regime of exercise he finds that relaxing and peaceful. He enjoys the opportunity to teach the students to appreciate things, and find joy in dark times. He can talk at length about any of his subjects, and will often be found painting alongside, or singing with, students. <br><br>However, there is a soldier laying within the gentle giant. He is concerned a moment will come that a student at the school will end up in a battlefield with no real experience, and so he pushes anyone he teaches incredibly hard to make sure they understand just what it is they've signed up for. He frequently argues with Charles about his methods, but in the end Charles tends to grudgingly concede that this is a necessity to avoid inexperienced people in a situation they are woefully unprepared for. <br><br>He truly despises the actions of the government he gave his life to, and every day their betrayal stings him. It is for this reason that should the day come to fight Bishop will be the first to the front lines, standing tall without a single trace of fear on his face, fighting for what he knows is the only way to find peace. While he understands Magneto's anguish and rage at the government, he cannot stand by and let war win. While he will do it without hesitation, he does not enjoy the idea that he will have to cause harm, and death, again.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Lucas Bishop grew up in the Bronx, New York. Throughout all his friends he was one of the few who pushed himself to do the right thing. He was nervous of the violence he grew up around, and wanted to do anything he could to get away from it. As he grew up he found he had two real areas of talent. The fine arts, and fighting. He was strong, fast and incredibly tough. He'd charge in to defend his friends at a moments notice. While he preferred peace he was quick to act if someone couldn't defend themselves.<br><br>Soon he realised that the chances of his artistic aspirations amounting to being able to help his family leave the ghetto were nearly nothing, and he turned his attention to his more warlike gifts. His incredible drive helped him to excel in school, and as he reached his late teens it seemed the military was a natural fit. By the age of eighteen he stood at 6'6" and weighed a little over 250lbs, his stature and strength helped him to fly through basic training. In 2002, at only 19, he joined active duty. <br><br>Shipped to Afghanistan he said a heartfelt, painful goodbye to his parents and left. Soon he proved to be a near-perfect soldier. His belief in the nation he fought for was incredible, his dedication to training was second to none. His only real issue was a lack of willingness to step in line, often refusing to shave or arguing with superior officers when they spoke crassly and cruelly about the men they fought. It was several years into his active duty, still struggling to move up in rank due to his defiance of those he could not respect, that his powers manifested. <br><br>On a standard patrol his jeep was hit directly by any RPG-7 rocket. But, instead of being torn apart with the vehicle, Lucas emerged unscathed. His eyes glowed a bright scarlet and he turned to his would be attackers. In an instant a blast of red light flew from his chest, destroying those who attacked him in an instant. While mutants were a source of fear this was before the laws tagging them. And so, Lucas was made a sergeant of an unofficial squad of mutants. They fought alone, away from the other men, for morale reasons. Proving brutally effective they spearheaded an assortment of attacks and were known to be nearly unstoppable. Lucas himself was akin to a force of nature on the battlefield, as no foe could even scratch his skin amid blasts of red light from the giant of a man.<br><br>But then, thousands of miles away, a law was passed. Rounding up, tagging and imprisoning mutants. And apparently that extended overseas. The army were considerably crueler than the men back home, as nobody could see. He was wrestled to the ground and refused to fight back, unwilling to murder his former friends. When they had him held down they cut an 'M' across his right eye and eyebrow, which he refused to stop or heal. He now carries it as a mark of what he has suffered for the cause of mutant kind, a reminder of why he will not hesitate to fight and end hate. <br><br>Deciding it would be considerably wiser than spending life in prison, Lucas agreed to meet with Charles Xavier. While he had a few disagreements with the man he primarily respected him a great deal. He settled down to teach, finally taking the opportunity to explore the more peaceful and artistic side of himself. But he made the promise that should war come the soldier will be back, and that he will not fight alongside anyone who is not fully prepared to understand how dark a real war is.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Energy Absorption: </strong>Bishop can absorb most types of energy, including magic and psychic, directed toward him. The nature of his powers makes it difficult to damage him with energy-based attacks, while also enabling him to work well with any energy-using teammates. Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength, speed, stamina and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability. The upper limits of his ability to enhance his own physical abilities with absorbed energy is not exactly known but is well into the level of being super human.<br><br><strong>Concussive Blasts:</strong> He can re-channel the absorbed energy through his body for bio-kinetic concussive blasts or in the same form that was absorbed but with twice the force/power. This re-channeled energy is able to damage beings normally immune to their own powers.<br><br><strong>Accelerated Healing:</strong> Lucas can redirect absorbed energy into his body to drastically accelerate his healing process. While not on the level of a true healing factor it makes him incredibly resilient to harm.<br><br><strong>Enhanced Strength:</strong> Lucas can use his absorbed energy to increase his strength to incredibly superhuman levels. When pushing a great deal of energy he can lift up to 10 tons over his head, and is temporarily one of the physically strongest X-Men.<br><br><strong>Enhanced Speed:</strong> Pushing his energy into his muscles Lucas can move at a superhuman pace, running at 40mph and leaping extreme distances. His strikes come far faster than an ordinary mans, and with a great deal more force.<br><br><strong>Enhanced Stamina &amp; Endurance:</strong> His powers reduce the need for sleep, food, drinking and oxygen. They also allow him to function for several days at a heavy capacity so long as he has sources of energy available to him. <br><br><strong>Near-Invulnerability:</strong> Bishop can coat his skin with a barrier of energy. This substance is nearly entirely invulnerable, and can be kept up as long as Bishop has enough energy stored up. This can withstand almost any impact, although it is most efficient against energy based attacks.<br><br><strong>Energy Resistance:</strong> Bishop's resilience is by far at it's highest against energy based weapons or abilities. He has never come close to being wounded by an energy related attack, and can simply absorb and redirect them at will. It seems there is nearly no upper limit to the quantity of energy his body can hold, and as long as he expends it storage doesn't harm him at all. <br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>The Mundane:</strong> Lucas's power works based on energy impacting him. It is greatly more efficient against mutant's with energy based abilities or other forces. While still incredibly resilient to kinetic impacts a round from a handgun or being hit with a metal bar is more effective against him than the most powerful energy projections on earth.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Hard line teacher:</strong> Lucas has already accepted the upcoming war as an inevitability. He now seeks to prepare both himself and those around him for that time. He knows there is a world between a mutant student and a soldier, and he will not see anyone unprepared set foot on a battlefield. His training methods can be scene as cruel, or brutal, but he knows they are necessary.<br><br><strong>Scarred:</strong> Lucas has painful physical and mental scars inflicted on him by people he called friends. He distrusts most humans initially and finds it difficult to befriend them. He cannot stand betrayal, and refuses to interact with anyone he considers a liar or two-faced. Lucas undergoes counselling sessions in order to make certain he is still stable enough to lead field operations.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>-Lucas knows many people think he's strange about his red bandanna, but doesn't care. <br><br>-Lucas is a particularly gifted singer and pianist. While not world class by any stretch he's enough to impress most people and be enjoyable to listen to. He can sing in a variety of styles, although his vocal range is a little of a flaw with his singing. He is also capable of playing most common instruments to a basic standard. <br><br>-Lucas is a reasonably capable water colour and oil painter, and uses his free time to practice. He is not as experienced as he'd like to be, but is rapidly improving since moving to the school. <br><br>-Lucas also appreciates literature a great deal. He has tried his hand at writing, but tends to leave it at a little amateur songwriting as opposed to anything longer. <br><br>-Lucas has a great deal of personal faith, believing there is more to life than meets the eye. While it is perhaps loosely based on Christianity he wouldn't call himself a real Christian, just a man of belief.<br><br>-He tends to be uncharacteristically shy and quiet about his gentler hobbies, rarely showing his paintings off. He will happily sing in front of others as he's become more confident about it. He also tends to keep his faith to himself. <br>

See image to the side for an example.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Rogue is a slender and beautiful young woman, though she does what she can to mask some of it. Typically she wears heavy, skin-covering clothes. Long-sleeved shirts, gloves, coats and jackets, long pants and boots...More often than not, the only skin visible on her body is that of her face and neck and <em>maybe</em> some cleavage if she's feeling in a good mood--after all, no one should be touching there anyway, and if they do and suffer the effects of her powers, then that is their fault. She has been known to wear normal or more revealing clothes, but typically only somewhere she's comfortable.<br><br>Her hair is typically kept between shoulder length and the middle of her back, as shorter hair exposes the back of her neck to being touched. When she wears make-up it tends to be darker, and on most days someone could accuse her of being a punk or goth and not be too wrong.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who They Are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Rogue could, potentially, be labeled as bipolar. Due to the nature of her upbringing and her powers, she is often withdrawn, associating rarely with others. This can make her seem to be cold, and at times downright bitchy, to those around her. But the behavior in her mind is needed to protect everyone around her. She can significantly harm them with just a touch...As lonely as her life is, she would take the loneliness and solitude over the guilt of hurting more people.<br><br>But, sometimes on a dime, all that can change. Perhaps aspects of absorbed personalities surfacing, the woman becomes more open, friendlier, while still cautious about her personal space. At times she could even be called a shameless flirt. This most often happens when, against all attempts otherwise, people insist on talking to her and hanging around her, forcing her out of her bubble of isolation.<br><br>At her core, she's trying to be a good person. But the tough, gruff exterior she hold masks as trouble and guilt-ridden heart over what she had aided and contributed to in her time with the Brotherhood, and the fervent hope to make amends. And with it, the hope that she might someday find a true and real family...<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> When Rogue, born Anna Marie, was five years old, her parents disappeared without a trace. The young girl was given to her aunt to be raised, and thus started a shaky and rough early life for the girl. The woman, in her grief at the loss of her sister, was a strict and authoritarian guardian. Anna Marie was a rebellious child, constantly running away from home to escape, and earned a nickname "Rogue" in the process. <br><br>When she was fourteen, Rogue grew close to a boy named Cody Robbins. Flirting at a football game, Rogue impulsively kissed Cody, at which point her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged. Cody was left in a coma, brain dead, and the town turned upon the girl. Hating her, swept up in the anti-mutant sentiment in the country, they would likely have lynched the young girl if she had not run away from home again...and this time for good. Traumatized by the experience, she started wearing heavy and covering clothing to protect everyone around her from her uncontrollable power.<br><br>By pure chance, not long after she ran from home, stuck in a boxcar on a freight train fleeing across the country, the young girl met Mystique. The mutant took the young girl in, practically adopting her as her own, seeing another mutant harmed by the savages that were humanity.&nbsp; In time Mystique turned Rogue's loneliness, envy, bitterness, and despair into anger, thus recruiting her into the Brotherhood of Mutants when the group formed after Magneto's sudden and violent split with Charles Xavier.<br><br>Following Magneto and buying fully into his rhetoric, the impressionable Rogue became a loyal pawn in his games. She was trained and honed by those in the Brotherhood, becoming as a little sister to some and tool by others, as her powers were used to further the cause. Multiple times, she would clash with the X-Men and forces of the government. For five years, she did this, her name growing infamous...Until one day, she watched someone get in the way of the Brotherhood. Collateral damage, she reached out to try and save them, forgetting her glove had been ripped off. Touching the dying person, she stole the rest of their life--and their memories.<br><br>She was the Brotherhood and their actions through the eyes of someone normal. Innocent, who had little more opinion on the matter than doing whatever they needed to get on with their own life. A woman just trying to raise her children, until she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time...The experience shook her, the world view of the dead mother, her kids laid out beside her, striking painfully against what she knew from following Magneto. Shaken, she left the Brotherhood, and went to the one person she thought might be able to get true answers from.<br><br>Needless to say, the X-Men did not appreciate her arrival. But Charles Xavier bid them give her a chance...<br><br>Rogue managed to slowly earn the trust of those around her though, small and large gestures. She eventually even befriended Wolverine...and his brutal death at the hands of Sabertooth was her final breaking point, the savagery of her former comrade beyond any capacity for her to rationalize, especially in the face of Wolverine's attempts to defend his friends and family from his enemies. She was too slow to help him...But that day she swore to oppose the Brotherhood, her family, unable to forgive their increasingly brutal methods. She's been at the school for three years now.<br><br>To that end, she still acts as a Brotherhood apologist. She agrees with Magneto's arguments, even if his methods have fallen out of her favor. Mutantkind is suffering unfairly at the hands of the government, and something needs to change. Their rights need protected--but by inciting more violence and hatred, the Brotherhood isn't helping anything.<br><br>Meanwhile she hates the government, refusing to accept the notion they are afraid acting on impulse. Defending most of the country at the cost of a minority is not governing, and she quickly uses Magneto's own arguments, referencing Nazi Germany and other such examples. A regime change, she says, is needed--the government created by privileged white men centuries ago is too old and corrupt to deal with the changing of times.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Power Absorption</span>: Rogue can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another person through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. She is not limited to absorbing mutant powers: for example, she has absorbed the strength, agility, and sharp reflexes of an enhanced human. She can also absorb psionic abilities. In absorbing another person's memories Rogue also gains the emotional responses connected to them (ie feeling the pain and trauma of absorbing memories of being tortured). She can possess the abilities and memories of multiple people at once, however such an overflow of personalities and memories can confuse and disorient her. And her power is potentially lethal--her first victim remained in a coma for ten years, before ultimately dying when removed from life support. <br><br>This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained (it currently seems she holds on to absorbed attributes for sixty time longer than the duration of contact), but the transfer may become permanent in certain cases (a fact currently unknown to her). Most often the process happens instantly when Rogue touches someone, but in certain instances where a being has possessed an extraordinary level of power they are able to resist her, and she may only share part of their memories and power. But the process remains excruciatingly painful for the person being drained.</li></ul><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> N/A<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws and Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Psychic Imprinting</span>: Every time she absorbs someone, a little piece of their personality lingers with her, perhaps forever changing the way she thinks. Worse, Rogue might not even realize that she is changing over time.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Only Human</span>: Unless she's absorbed someone stronger and more durable than herself, she is still only human, and can be hurt as easily as anyone else.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Physical Touch</span>: Her power, while potentially devastating to anyone she touches, requires skin-to-skin contact. As such, if she can't touch them, she can't drain them.</li></ul><br><strong>Flaws:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Isolated</span>: Coupled with the way she was raised, and the way that Rogue's power keeps her separate from everyone, Rogue tends to feel a bit isolated, even while surrounded by people. She can never touch someone skin to skin--and never will again, in her mind, less she horribly hurt them.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Temper</span>: Rogue's temper can sometimes cause her to act to extremes. Whether it be violence, or just kinda crazy behavior, Rogue's temper has left her making a fool of herself on more than one occasion.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Flirt</span>: She's a sucker for dangerous men and women and she tends to flirt it up a little too much (one might say) when someone catches her eye. But she's well aware of her limitations--but a a drive for some kind of companionship only makes this worse for her. It's not uncommon for her to be called out as a tease for flirting but never letting someone truly in close. </li><li><span class="bbc_u">Bitch</span>: When her depression over her powers strikes particularly badly, she turns into a bitch. Snapping at anyone for just about anything, she tries to push people away (especially after drawing them in with flirting), creating a vicious cycle of isolation and loneliness.</li></ul><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Connections</span>:<ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Rahne Sinclaire / Wolfsbane</em> - A young woman she just met recently. A bit amused by the girl's shyness and reservations about her life, Rogue is stepping in some as a big sister for her, giving her a helping hand.</li><li><em>Heather Donald / Highlights</em> - Rogue's feelings on her roommate are mixed. It's hard not to like her. But it's also hard not to get annoyed at her...sheer energy. It's almost tiring being around her. And that's before their "other" issues comes up...Heather is one of her closest friends though, regardless, and one of the few she truly relaxes around.</li><li><em>Betsy Braddock / Psylocke</em> - The two "know" each other through a past incident where they were in the same place, at the same time, for various reasons. A scuffle and a fight let to Rogue briefly absorbing some of the mess that Psylocke was involved in...All in all, Rogue still doesn't understand what happened that night. The two see each other around the mansion, though Rogue hasn't been quite able to bring herself to interact with the woman, afrad that hard feelings remain from the night they first met.</li></ul>[/list]

Well, Ororo is very classy, business like. She did go through a period of rebellion - so, sometimes she might wear a leather something every once again. Her outfit is fitted, black, and gold trimming. Don’t forget the cape.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Ororo is generally a very welcoming and loving person. She has a few insecurities, but only the closest people will ever see that. The amazonian beauty strives to exude confidence and be a leader to those around her. Friendship and family are very close at heart to her and the X-Men and students are like family.<br><br>Ororo is sympathetic to the Brotherhood, but she does not believe in their murderous ways. There are so many other ways to do things, but getting them to understand is a trivial and exhausting task. Like every other living thing on the planet, Ororo doesn’t stand to be walked over. <br><br>It’s not to say that she has a temper, but she won’t let back talk or bullying to happen to herself or anyone around her. Ororo is motherly, the advice giver, and maybe someone to have a crush on.<br><br>All in All, Ororo is very much the sort that you want to keep around.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Ororo comes from a long line of African Priestess’. They possess such traits as; white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to use magic. Her mother was a Princess and her father was an American photojournalist. Ororo was born in Manhattan, but was moved to Cairo, Egypt at only seven months old - along with her parents. At just five years old, the unfortunate happened. During the Arab-Israeli conflict, the fight resulted in a bombing that forced a plant to crash into their home. Ororo was able to survive under rubble, while her family perished. The young mutant was able to escape with tattered clothes and her mother’s ancestral ruby.<br><br>During her childhood she was homeless and orphaned. She joined a street urchin gang and was taught the skill of thievery, which she excelled at. While on one of her many excursions, she unknowingly pickpocketed Charles Xavier while he was visiting. Xavier, of course, was able to stop the pickpocketing from completing successful. Ororo was forced to kill another man after he attempted to kill the young Ororo. Even though the situation was unfortunate, she swore to never kill another human again.<br><br>During her journey away from the life in Cairo and back to her home village, she discovered her ability to control weather in order to save her from near death experiences in the Sahara desert. Eventually Ororo returned to a village in the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. She was taken in by an elder who taught her how to use her powers responsibly.<br><br>Many events happened after, most of which resulted in her tribe worshipping her like a goddess and fighting other mutants. Eventually she ran into the X-Men, but wasn’t recruited right away. However, when Xavier needed the help, she was then recruited into X-Men and given the codename Storm. Since then, she has&nbsp; lent her services as a language teacher at the school.<br><br>However, with the tensions rising between the U.S. Government and the Brotherhood, it has forced her to take a defensive position in protect her fellow X-Men and the students. While she is sympathetic, she does not wish for it to break into an all out war - which seems to be inevitable. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <br><strong>Atmokinesis</strong> || Storm has the ability to control of all meteorological phenomena. She can summon tornadoes, cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, whirlwinds, and blizzards, and dissipate weather as well. She can create weather effects within indoor areas or within artificially maintained environments: for example she could create an indoor rainstorm. She can create weather effects over very small areas; as when she water her potted plants. Using her precise control over air she has even been shown to control the very air in a person's lungs. She can also manipulate, control, and change the temperature of the blood in a person's body, due to her powers of controlling the many facets of the atmosphere such as moisture precipitation, moisture, air, atmospheric pressure, weather, etc.<br><br><strong>Flight</strong> || She has the ability to fly by gliding on wind currents. She can also move objects or other people with the wind or create a dome of air pressure to deflect attacks. Storm's powers grant her the ability to fly as high as the atmosphere can be stretched by using her mastery over wind. She can even carry other people with her.<br><br><strong>Energy Manipulation/Projection</strong> || When using her powers, Storm becomes one with the energy patterns she manipulates. This gives her the ability to project weather effects through her body. For instance, she can generate lightning, intense cold, and intense heat, from her hands rather than from her actual atmosphere.<br><br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong><br>Claustrophobia: Having been trapped under rubble for three days while her mother lay dying, Storm's claustrophobia was once so severe, it rendered her completely helpless. However, she has more or less conquered her fear, through tight spaces still make her uncomfortable.<br>Emotional Influence: Storm's ability to manipulate the weather in her immediate vicinity is affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. As a result, Storm has in the past kept a tight rein on all extreme emotions.<br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> Temper - keeping it check might prove hard in the best of times.

His eyes will also glow in the dark due to his inner fires.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Jonothon’s wardrobe really never changes in color. One can usually find him dressed in all black. While his shirts may change the combat boots and the black leather wrappings covering his missing body parts do not. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Due to experiencing the very worst that nature could throw at him, it is no surprise that Jono is a very secluded, closed off, and even harsh man. Within him not only broils a furnace of energy but also a furnace of withdrawn emotion. The bandages wrapped around his body act as a metaphorical wall, hiding his emotions from the people around him. Being a highly intelligent man, Jonothon rarely speaks his mind. He holds his statements in reserve and listens to everything and if necessary he will contribute something to the conversation. Not one to back down from a fight, the man often got into bar fights and tussles.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After having mutated he locked himself away from the world and by that action he was left alone for many years. Jono sees himself as a freak and often times he forgets that other people have problems, so focused on his own that he loses track. He finds that he has more in common with physically altered mutants than regular looking ones. Though that doesn’t stop him from doing his duty or helping his friends when it is required, yet he usually remains by himself. Jono has the tendency to brood on the actions he has done, especially after what happened to Gayle. What he did has him thinking about how he can try and connect with the world again. So far it has left him isolated and alone much like before.<br>Though every cloud has a silver lining and in Jono’s case he has a few surprises. Firstly he is a very loyal person to those that have earned his trust and those he calls his friends. He would gladly sacrifice himself to protect those he cares about and those he considers his family. Though his reluctance to allow people past his emotional walls, it makes him detached from those around him in a way. He fears that if anyone was to get to close he would hurt them both physically (by his energy) and emotionally (with his detachment).<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Sometimes someone can see him sitting and playing, either an electric or an acoustic guitar. It is only to reminisce perhaps since it brings back memories from his band years. That was a time when everything was normal and simple, before he mutated and entered a life of hell. Jonothon does have a softer side, it’s just harder to find. As much as he tries to deny it, he does sometimes enjoy reading to the younger kids or helping someone with something. Though if asked, he would instantly deny it and tell them they are wrong. Consequently, Jono heavily values his privacy and tends to stand at least 3 feet away from everyone at all times. It’s for no other reason than to keep people at arm’s reach.&nbsp; Jono understands why the government needs to protect normal humans from mutants that have the potential of killing or injuring innocents. However Chamber dislikes the actions that the Brotherhood takes and blames them for the way the Government acts towards mutants as well.<br><br>Jono honestly doesn’t see why Charles is so gentle in regards to the Brotherhood and the violence they inspire. It’s not like there’s a true prison to hold them if caught.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Jonothon Evan Starsmore or more simply Jono to his friends was born in London to unpowered parents. Growing up Jono lived a somewhat normal life until his teenage years rolled around. Jono discovered the amazingness of rock music. Metal, goth, anything that you could play with a guitar he got into. It wasn’t long after getting into that type of music that he acquired his first guitar. From there his school work took a back seat to everything that rock music could do. Trying to form a band with his friends, racing motorbikes, going to parties, doing petty crime like picking locks. They were but a few things that Jono got into when he was in his rock and roll phase. Girls were a big thing that drove him to play music. One girl in particular named Gayle got his attention right away.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;He met her at a rave with purple hair rebelling against her family and immediately they fell for each other. They attended parties, outings with friends, going to pubs and brawl fights. Since they were both young there seemed like nothing could stop the happy couple. <br><br>That was when life threw him a severe curveball. At a party one night after a gig, people were off doing whatever they wanted and the happy couple was in the coatroom aiming on taking off each other’s clothes and getting rowdy. <br><br>They hadn’t even gotten their shirts off when Jono noticed his chest heating up and smoking. He tried valiantly to push Gayle out of the coatroom to avoid injury but was unable to in time. In an explosion that took off his chest, lower jaw and half of the building, Jono’s power manifested in a very powerful way. Caught in the blast, Gayle was severely injured losing the use of her legs and leaving her unconscious for several weeks in the hospital.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;In grief and horror he escaped to his family’s home and locked himself in the basement isolating him from the world for many months. He was beyond consoling, still horrified that his chest was now exposed and burning with what looked like fire, and that he had hurt someone he had cared about so badly. Over the next few months he came to amazing conclusions and ended up fleeing his house to wander aimlessly in his anger. Jono found that he no longer needed to eat, drink, sleep or even breathe but he was somehow alive. To contain the massive force in his chest, he wrapped himself in bandages that were somehow able to contain the furnace that he had become. As a side effect of losing his throat, he found that he developed the ability to communicate via telepathy.<br><br>Stowing away on a ship he came to America where he was attacked by some other mutant that called himself Emplate. Jonothon managed to fight the other mutant off, but drew the attention of the authorities. Given a choice Jonothon decided to head to Xavier’s school while going with the name of Chamber…<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta <br><br><strong>Psionic Biokinesis:</strong> Chamber is naturally composed of pure psionic energy. His body is just a chamber for what he truly is. The initial emergence of his powers blew a hole in his chest and lower face, completely incinerating most of his internal organs. Because of this, Chamber no longer needs to eat, drink, sleep or breathe. Strangely, his blood continues to flow through his extremities, as if propelled by a churning engine of psionic flame itself. Jono is sustained solely by the psionic flame that rages within his body. If it were somehow snuffed out, he will most likely die. As his flames are actually psionic in nature, and don’t rely on some form of fuel to continue to burn, they also don’t seem to be affected by conditions that would be adverse to actual flame (IE. lack of oxygen, water, etc.) <br><br><strong>Biokinetic Flames:</strong> Chamber constantly creates and can release psionic charges of energy that can strike with concussive force, act as generic flame, or cause inanimate objects to explode violently, by forcefully disrupting molecular bonds. Jono can't actively affect molecules containing Carbon in that same explosive manner, but those molecules are still very vulnerable to a direct hit with his biokinetic flame. It is unknown what he might be able to do if he could only reach his full potential.<br><br><strong>Projection Telepathy:</strong> Jono is a radio that can send out signals, but not receive them. Chamber can't read minds, probe thoughts, or see things that lie outside his line of sight. He can, however, use his abilities to 'speak' inside the minds of those near him. He can also create psionic illusions. For the most part, these projections are unfocused, and anyone within physical hearing (or viewing) range would be affected. Chamber is beginning to learn limited control over this, however, and is sometimes able to limit who hears and sees what he is projecting. Physical obstructions can't affect these projections as they will real sounds and images. For instance, a person on the opposite side of a soundproof wall would still be able to hear him, as long as she was close enough.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> Jono tends to carry a set of lock picks with him just in case. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses </strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>His own powers:</strong> While Jono can take impressive amounts of damage to his physical body, his powers are also his biggest weakness. As his biokinetic flames are the only thing that keeps Chamber alive. If his powers are shut down by some power nullifying field his physical body would soon die. Also if for some reason he lost his telepathic powers it would truly make him mute.<br><br><strong>Human Body:</strong> Jono’s physical shell might be a chamber for his powers, but it’s still as fragile as any other regular human body. He can be wounded by regular means and can still bleed. His bones can break and it’s unknown if a bullet to the brain could kill him or not. Chamber isn’t ready to find that one out yet…<br><br><strong>Limits:</strong> Chamber naturally creates the psionic energy that keeps him alive. However, he can use up so much energy to where he is required to take a breather and recharge before continuing. Jono does have natural blocks to where he can’t use enough energy to where he kills himself, but passing out can happen.<br><br><strong>Little Control:</strong> Jonothon has very little control over his powers. Most of this comes from the mental issues that he has, there is times that he will use powers on instinct, but not be able to access them again. Jono also has to be at least medium range to use his powers effectively.<br><br><strong>Mental Issues:</strong> Chamber has had various mental problems since his own powers emerged. Chief among these being depression when he thinks about the things that he has lost. Jono is also quick to jump to the worst possible outcome, usually that others are ashamed to be seen with him or seeing himself as a monster.<br><br><strong>Isolationist:</strong> Unless required by the instructors Jono prefers to be off on his own. Most of the time this is simply to sit and watch the others interact. Other times it’s simply to sit and jam out on the guitar or work in the gym as the music blares. At night while the others sleep he watches TV or plays games on his own…<br><br><strong>Physical Flaws:</strong> Jono’s body has born the brunt of his own powers and to the normal people of the world he comes across as a mute burn victim. The black leather he wraps about his broken body hides the fiery blast furnace that is the core of his body. However the wicked scars can still be seen emerging from underneath the leather wrapped about his face.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><strong>Brawler:</strong> While his powers might max at a medium range, he is not defenseless for those that try to get in close. Jono has numerous bar fights under his belt and while he might not look it, he is content to sit face to face and simply trade punches. However Jono isn’t above incorporating fighting or pro wrestling moves into his fights.<br><br><strong>Musician:</strong> Jono is an accomplished guitarist who was part of his own band as a teenager. He has kept up his practice as the years have gone by playing everything from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Iron Maiden.<br><br>Jono doesn't know he's related to either Apocalypse or Blink.

She's thin, and long for her height, appearing taller in photographs than in person. She is in remarkable shape, and her body boasts of tremendous health. She has enough muscle and fat on her bones to fill her out. A look of wonder with a dash of rebellion is always resting in her eyes. She has very soft features, and gentle expressions. Almost all of Heather’s body hair grows out in every color and any color at any time. Her face always looks like the large picture until I can get an official faceclaim figured out. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Heather doesn’t exactly like clothing. She has a distaste for unnecessary things like tassels, fake pockets, and absurdly thin fabric. Always wishing that her clothes were made of the things men clothes were made from, she wears a lot of jeans, specifically, thin jeans designed for men. Some women's clothing in her wardrobe is required, but she usually wears men’s clothes over the top of her nylons and her tiny tanktops with wire frames. Her hair always seems longer than it was the day before. Heather puts her social life before school, so she’s always trying to look sexy. <br><br>She’s just a student, and her power has no real damaging effect, so she is not a prime candidate for x-men designation. Thus, no uniform information. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Heather is an active person. She enjoys being around others. Her dirty sense of humor usually does wonders to make others laugh. To her, there isn't much more to life than enjoying time with other people. So, Highlights' ethical code is growing more liberal every day. Life is fun around Heather. She’s exciting, and she can find ways to make dull times more interesting. Her little games are enticing, and her attitude is one very prolonged, very calm party. Not many people have ever heard Heather shout or scream. She’s a gentle person, and she has a compassion for people and cats that very few others can claim. She has some latent empathic skills, and her ability to read people is extraordinary. But, it doesn’t register as a power. She just has a strong and reliable intuition, which allows her to feel others’ pain fairly easily. She sponges up others’ emotions, and has genuine difficulty feeling her own. She is obsessed with sex, and technically qualifies as a nymphomaniac. But, she's working on improving that impulse as of late.<br><br>She wants a tattoo on her stomach and her left leg, but she hasn’t had a chance to get them done.<br><br>-Heather supports Charles. She’s an uninformed Teen, and she prefers being on this side for two major reasons: Xavier feeds her and clothes her, and educates her; And, she’s a pacifist.<br><br>-The U.S government actually makes her cry sometimes at night. The idea of having her name in a government computer program because of her stupid power makes her sad. She can easily relate to many oppressed historical people and fictional characters, even if she has no right to do so; Anne Frank, Elie Wiesel, Pocahontas, Trinity from the matrix, early American slaves and so on. <br><br>-She doesn’t mesh with Magneto at all. In her mind he is pure evil, even though his campaign is less disturbing than what the government is up to.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Heather lived a rather dull life. She never liked her father, and chose to live with her mother when the two of them split. Heather was only nine at the time, but her dad had always spanked her, and hit her, and emotionally traumatized her for the slightest discretion. She had an older brother who didn’t mind smacking her around a bit as well. However, once she and her mother escaped the two men in her family, life was a lot easier to withstand.<br><br>The two of them moved from New York to Kansas. Heather’s mother had grown up in Kansas, and it was important for her to raise her daughter there. Salina, Kansas was the same as it had been twelve years before. And, for a couple years it was a paradise. Heather was a good young girl who participated at church and mixed well with the other children. She was smart, but she didn’t care much about school. That had never much been different.<br><br>When Heather turned about fourteen, she found a few new interests that made her less of a church choir girl, and more of a hellion. She became obsessed with boys. It didn’t matter if they were singers, actors, young politicians, tv show hosts, or boys at her school. The school had to call her mother again and again about her performing ‘questionable’ acts on campus. She was suspended twice before she was expelled for her third unforgivable transgression that involved the backseat of a seniors car. Beyond sex, she also discovered punk rock, R-rated films on the internet, chat rooms, and a fresh batch of friends that all liked the same things.<br><br>She went deeper and deeper down the blacksheep hole, and no matter how crazy she became, her mother supported her. When the two of them went to church, she had been seeking community for her daughter. She wasn't seeking God. So, when Heather lashed back, she let go of the reigns. Heather had the best intentions, and since marrying and being abused by the man of her dreams, she had put less stock in jesus and the good book than she did before her wedding. So Heather wasn’t a black sheep really, her mother protected her from that. Instead, she was just a rebel with a loving mother. Heather learned to skateboard, she started using drugs and getting drunk while skipping class. Still, her mother supported her. The woman even provided a place for the island of misfit toys that Heather had for friends a place to party. Heather lived in a two bedroom house that usually had three or four boys sleeping over that didn’t include the man of the house. Heather’s twenty three year old boyfriend was basically the alpha of the entire situation. He even handled the budget most of the time. <br><br>Heather’s X-gene activated while she was… active in bed with him. Her hair grew nine inches in an instant, sprouting multicolored all of a sudden from every pore. She was embarrassed, suddenly having an inch or so of rainbow leg hair, and then some. Her boyfriend loved it. Their relationship was never volatile, despite their age gap, they were actually good for each other. Before the mutation, Heather had cheated on him enough for him to understand that she had a problem. He stayed with her, and didn't let it bother him that she was sleeping around, sometimes on the couch with other boys. He respected her. The two of them didn't latch on to each other. <br><br>Instead, the 'family' found out about Xavier's school for the gifted, and it was becoming difficult to feed Heather's insatiable appetite. Her mother couldn’t afford private schools, and she didn’t have a high school to attend after being expelled her freshmen year. After a year off, it felt like a godsend to grow rainbow hair, and then be allowed to live in a mansion. Still, just sixteen when she arrived Xavier’s school for gifted children, Heather was excited to belong somewhere so fancy. She had had always liked the idea of being a princess. Suddenly she was a girl who had hair that grew at an exceptional rate, and she was living in something similar to a castle. It was exciting, and damn well close enough. <br><br>Two years into her time at Xaviers, she’s finally entering her senior year of highschool, leaving a wake of broken hearted boys in her path.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Delta<br><br><strong>Energy machine:</strong> Heather’s x-gene activated a strange form of metabolism exclusive to her. Her digestible tract behaves with a completely unique system, everything is anatomically human. But her organ's no longer produce the same bi-products that normal organs produce. For example, her intestines break down and absorb all matter. Her kidneys turn waste into blood. Everything she ingests is turned into useful material for her body. <br><br>The parts of her body that grow at increased rates are as follows: her finger nails, teeth enamel, brain cells, fresh tissue, toe nails, some body hair, and the hair on her head. Heather doesn’t produce waste. She doesn’t use toilets. And, She never runs out of energy. She’s like a rechargeable battery plugged into the wall. Respectfully, she doesn’t really need to sleep as long as she has access to food. Sleeping is still good though, it charges her up even more. Excess energy is stored in her skin, of all places, occasionally making her glow in a screensaver like rainbow light, similar to… the Aurora Borealis mixed with Rorschach's face from ‘Watchmen’, mixed with a rainbow. Even when she’s glowing, she’s hungry (note on hunger soon).<br><br><strong>Hair:</strong> Heather’s hair is strange. To begin with, it grows exactly as pictured, with rainbow colors that come from the root. The patches of color grow in a rhythms, changing colors as they go through their cycles. Her hair is exceptionally soft as well, and does not need products to make it look and feel the way that it feels. In addition, her hair grows approximately two and a half inches a day. She often cuts her hair every morning just to try out new things. Because of how fast the hair grows back, she has no fear of cutting it short or experimenting with wild styles. Most days, she shaves her legs twice, once in the morning, and once after school. She enjoys the activity, and prefers the smooth legs despite her mutations persistence. Although... Heather's body hair is as unique as the hair on her head, short hair on her legs has a sexual appeal as well. Because of its qualities, the stubble just gives her rainbow patterned legs that aren’t sharp or painful for those touching it or for herself.<br><br><strong>Energy intake:</strong> Heather’s body needs food constantly. She’s basically, always hungry. Any amount of food is digestible. However, she could go for months without food now, after two years of constant snacking. If she were to eat a considerably more amount in one day than usual, her hair would grow even longer. Another result of her mutation is that there are only a few things that are actually unhealthy for Heather to eat, and they are things that regular people cannot eat. If her stomach receives things like rocks, metals or hard fibers, her body can actually absorb them as well. But she does feel poisoned for a few hours. And the hard digestion also has an effect on her hair. For an inch or however long, her hair will grow black.<br><br><strong> Energy transfer:</strong> Heather can transfer her stored energy over to other people. There must be skin to skin contact. But, she can essentially give people sleep by touching them, giving their body what it needs to start a new day. And her source for this is almost endless. She’s a walking cup of coffee that’s as good as actual sleep.<br><br><strong>Regeneration:</strong> Heather’s body repairs itself quickly. One cannot watch her body heal like Wolverine. And, unlike Wolverine, she can’t walk through damage like a tank. She's a fragile young girl with a mostly human body. Things can still kill her quite easily. She won’t regenerate new limbs or anything like that. Her body just works on overdrive at all times with it's mutation. It wastes nothing, and has found a way to harvest amazing amounts of energy. Heather's body, avoids eating itself at all costs, constantly feeding vital nutrients to important places when required. Her body can heal very quickly. She can recover from surgery at about 400% the rate of a regular human. Her stitches heal incredibly fast. She rarely ever gets sick, and infections are virtually obliterated by her powerful immune system. A broken bone heals fast, but it still takes a week or so. And so on...<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> scissors and a razor? She’s just a student, she doesn’t really think about these types of things.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Basically human:</strong> Heather is very mortal. One good head shot and she’s history. The right organ damage can finish her off. A deep cut, suffocation, whatever. She’s as mortal as hell. Her mutation did not give her any battling abilities. She can also starve if her body runs out of reserves. When she starves, it is not a pretty sight. I’d rather not describe it.<br><br><strong>Always hungry:</strong> Heather feels hunger pangs constantly. She could theoretically fill her stomach for a short time, if she was chewing really fast and eating large bites. But her stomach has grown to a good size for her total weight, and it digests feed at a rapid rate. It's actually difficult for her to eat until she's full. As a result, she’s always snacking. Realistically, she eats about twenty meals a day, fifteen on busy days, and over thirty when she has leisure time.<br><br><strong>Sex Addict:</strong> So, Heather can stay awake for, weeks at full energy. She is pretty, and she can revitalize some one by touching them. She doesn’t produce waste, so, not to be graphic, but her anus only has one use now. Heather is kind of a sex machine. And, it is legitimately difficult for her to think about anything else sometimes. She is trying to get better, and she has a system that's a bit too public, some might say. Heather tries not to have sex anymore. She wears a bracelet around her wrist for every day she’s kept herself from trying to seduce a boy from school for fun. She’s had boyfriends, but she has cheated on every one of them. At game start, she’s gone a whole twenty-four days without having sex. <br><br><strong>Unmotivated Teen:</strong> Heather takes procrastination to a new level. She despises school. She loves people around her, but learning things in a classroom setting drives her crazy. She only responds to direct tutoring. She is disruptive in classes, and enjoys talking too much for the environment. If anything does catch her interest in a classroom, she has a history of monopolizing the conversation and digging into certain details entirely too far. She’s a horrible tester, and gets very nervous when being tested. The girl was expelled from her old school for being a distraction. She wants to learn, but classic school doesn't work well with her. Underneath the laziness, she’s a really sweet girl.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><strong>Roommate:</strong> Rogue<br><br><strong>Relationships at School:</strong><br>Rogue - very close friends, and very good roommates together. These two both came to the school about the same time, and they understand each other<br><br>Laura Kinney - Heather and Laura aren't exactly the closest of friends, but they do get along. Heather has trouble misunderstanding people, even if they come from strange backgrounds and strange places. Her ability to mold into the person that whomever around her wants to be helps around Laura. She likes spending time with Wolverine, because she feels like she always learns something new.<br><br>Kitty Pryde - These two are pretty darn close for two girls that don't entirely hang out a lot. They enjoy each others company. There may be one or two rumors floating around about them. They are all unfounded and most likely false.<br><br>(more to come, my memory is blocky from correspondences last week. If I left your character out and we talked, PM me, I didn't mean to forget you I swear. Also if you want a character connection with Heather, pm me for that too. If your male character would have gotten horizontal with her over the last two years, that is something I would like to know. I'm trying to get a good number of notches on her bed post.)<br><br><strong>Favorite Snacks:</strong> Heather likes salt a lot, and it's genetical, because her x-gene makes a lot of good use out of salt. Everything is used, so it doesn't matter what she eats, but, she has a few favorites: Cheese flavored snacks; Doritos, Cheeze-its, cheetos, and hundreds of others. Chicken strips deep fried with salted french fries, ketchup and a strawberry milkshake on the side is her favorite meal. Speaking of strawberries. Strawberries... And that is anything strawberry; the fake strawberry flavor, real strawberries, milkshakes, soda-pop, jam, yogurt. If there are strawberries in it, she's interested. Highlights is obsessed with this fruit. Chocalate, Caramel and toffee candies are amazing as well, like 100 grand, snickers, toffee crunch, caramel chews and so on. Her school bag has more food in it than books, everyday.<br><br>Heather's teeth do heal in their own way. But, she does have to take good care of her mouth. <br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>C</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>h</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>a</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>r</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>a</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>c</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>t</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>e</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>r</strong></span> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>C</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>o</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>n</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>n</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>e</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>c</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>t</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>i</strong></span><span class="bbc_u"><strong>o</strong></span><strong><span class="bbc_u">n</span></strong><strong><span class="bbc_u">s</span></strong></span><br><br><br><strong>Bishop</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Blackout</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Chamber</strong>: Every now and then, Chamber and Heather watch tv together late at night. Neither of them ever sleep, so it’s only natural that the two of them have spent some time together. Heather tried to find a way for the two of them to be intimate, but she never said it outright, and it didn’t quite work. Otherwise undecided. <br><br><strong>Colossus</strong>: These two have met each other, and there’s some drama between them, since Piotr’s girlfriend has fooled around with Heather without his knowledge. Otherwise Undecided.<br><br><strong>Cyclops</strong>: Heather And Salem don’t get along. Salem was responsible early on for making sure that Heather stayed focus on school. So Heather relates Salem to the idea of responsibility, and Heather doesn’t like that idea. She is a free spirit while Salem has a stick up her ass. They clash immediately.

But neither of them have yet recalled this memory.<br><br><strong>Meticulous</strong>: Heather… wants to get along with Yolande. But, they’ve only met each other the one time, and it didn’t go very well. We’ll see if they ever have a normal conversation together, quite doubtful.<br><br><strong>Nightcrawler</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Polaris</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Prodigy</strong>: Heather has a crush on her math teacher, no surprise there. Otherwise Undecided<br><br><strong>Psylocke</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>R</strong><strong>o</strong><strong>g</strong><strong>u</strong><strong>e</strong>: ‘My Baby!!’ Heather is head over heels in love with Rogue. She cares more about her roommate than anyone else on the planet. The two of them have an amazing rapport together, and Heather has helped her get the proper energy for coming days and all that. They can talk together for hours, help each other through school. And, more recently, they’ve become romantically involved. Heather and Rogue have had sex through a silken sheet, but they haven’t discovered that the two of them are able to touch each other for long extended periods of time yet.<br><br><strong>Shadowcat</strong>: These two are great friends. The two of them have known each other for over a year, and close to two. They’ve kissed each other in public as a flirty way to make a party exciting. But more recently, they did have sex together in the woods, and there is still some aftermath, as both of them were in a relationship when this happened.<br><br><strong>Snapdragon</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Storm</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Sunspot</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Venom</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Vulcan</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Wakana Hana</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Warpath</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Wolfsbane</strong>: Undecided<br><br><strong>Wolverine</strong>: They met each other in class, and although the two of them aren’t exactly best of friends, they get along well actually.

Key difference is more defined muscle. Yolande has toned, very clear abs. Her legs show clear muscle on her quads and calves. She has biceps with definition, including visible veins if she flexes. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Yolande dresses in designer clothes almost always. She hates to look bad, taking extremely good care of her body, wearing makeup at all times and always dressing well. The only time she breaks this rule is to exercise, but she hates to do be seen working out.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Yolande is a self absorbed, aloof person. She separates herself from the remainder of humanity and typically feels that they are almost all lazy or stupid. She looks down on most people around her. Even from a young age she considered both her peers and elders to be useless and weak minded. She was not particularly good at concealing her disdain, and often alienated others and found herself in trouble with teachers. <br><br>She is quite materialistic, caring about her belongings including her expensive designer clothes and makeup. While she tends to just give withering looks and sarcastic comments she will become very angry surprisingly quickly if she feels insulted by others. She has trouble with restraining her emotions and can be quick to aggression. <br><br>She doesn't yet know a great deal about the politics of the wider world. She thinks that Charles is a little deluded and perhaps in some form of denial, but that his heart is at least in the right place. She understands and to some degree supports Magneto's attitude but considers his strategy to be mindless and leading to a negative result. However, whatever she may think of either of those sides she despises what the U.S Government are doing. She considers them to be a group of small minded, backwards thinking men. <br><br>Despite her self obsession and refusal to accept that she could have flaws Yolande has her fair share, she just keeps them incredibly well hidden. She suffers from short but extremely crippling bouts of manic depression, due to her self inflicted solitude. During these times she will drink excessively and become extremely unpredictable or aggressive. Unfortunately due to her hatred of her own imperfections this drinking only makes her despise her perceived weakness more, often spiraling into more drinking.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Yolande was born to a rich household in South Africa, growing up privileged and having an easy life overall. She was gifted in both academic, physical and creative areas even as a child and soared by every milestone far earlier than she should have. Many teachers saw her as a prodigy, albeit an incredibly frustrating one as she was so condescending and rude to them even when she was only a child. As well as schooling she was taught many mannerisms that were expected of a lady of wealth and importance. She learnt to behave with class, style and grace and received many extracurricular lessons. These included singing, dancing, painting, playing the piano and a strict regime of exercise. <br><br>As she grew up into her teens her strong minded, narcissistic personality only expanded. Soon it became clear that she did not belong in the schooling she was receiving, and her parents opted to send her abroad. At only 16 she passed entrance exams and was given a place at Princeton University, New Jersey to study Biology. She suffered a little bullying as she was surrounded by people older than her, and her arrogance had still failed to leave her. Ignoring the other students as she felt they were just as stupid as her old teachers and the younger students she was used to she focused on her own life. Quickly her arrogance showed to be at least somewhat forgivable, as her ability to perform at the expected level couldn't be called into question.<br><br>Now, several years down the line, she still has nobody she would call a real friend. She has blossomed into a beautiful young woman and makes sure that everyone around her knows it. Wearing designer brands, expensive labels and taking extensive care of her makeup and body she likes to know that people either want her or want to be her. Her mutation has been developing for a number of years, enhancing her body gradually as she has grown older. She only began to realise that she didn't just think she was better than other people in the past year. <br><br>Her mutation began to push her fitness to a point of impossibility. She was running four minute miles, then three minute miles. It was at this point she started to test herself and compare her capabilities to world records. In a few brief months she had quietly shattered almost every fitness record across the world. But, she was keenly aware of what was happening to mutants. And definitely smart enough to realise that what she could do was clearly some form of mutation. And so she stayed silent, and abused her newfound telepathic and telekinetic abilities to make her life easier. Her ability to excel has only increased since she's found her fitness, intelligence and stamina superhuman. And, of course, the fact she can influence the minds of anyone around her without them knowing.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Super-Human:</strong> Yolande's body and mind are considerably in excess of the peak of human potential. She is stronger, faster, tougher and in her own words better than others. She has some degree of telepathic and telekinetic ability. It took many years for her mutation to fully develop, but now it seems to have stopped increasing. <br><br><strong>Flight:</strong> Yolande is capable of telekinetic flight. She is inexperienced and unreliable when using it, but has reached speeds of several hundred miles an hour already. Her flight is currently very inaccurate and she has difficulty hovering or maintaining steady height.<br><br><strong>Telepathy: </strong>Yolande has the ability to read minds and project her thoughts into the minds of others and defensively mask her mind against telepathic intrusion. She has also been shown to be capable of other basic telepathic abilities such as illusion casting and memory wiping. <br><br><strong>Telekinetic:</strong> Yolande can manipulate objects with nothing other than her mind. She can lift small items and even groups of objects easily and with surprising precision. She's never attempted to move a living target, but lifting small cars out of curiosity has proved only a minor strain. She can also emit blasts of telekinetic energy with nothing more than a thought.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Intuitive Ability:</strong> Yolande can process information quickly, giving her vast knowledge and intelligence, an accelerated learning aptitude, a knack for quickly analyzing multiple information and operating machinery, eidetic memory, the ability to read at superhuman speeds, and incredible deductive and reasoning skills.<br><br><strong>Strength &amp; Speed:</strong> Yolande's entire body is incredibly strong. She is capable of lifting cars with absolute ease, and has yet to attempt a physical test of her strength. She has bent steel and punched clean through concrete. She can run at an incredible pace due to her extremely strong legs, her sprinting speed is at least 60mph. <br><br><strong>Agility &amp; Reflexes:</strong> Yolande can react to things that most would barely notice, not on the level of a true speedster but still incredibly fast. She is capable of dodging bullets at a relatively close distance, but not point blank. She has impossibly good balance and is able to pull off athletic feats with no sign of struggling. <br><br><strong>Endurance &amp; Stamina:</strong> Yolande's skin is nearly impervious to harm. She is bulletproof and resilient to extreme blunt or stabbing wounds. Even incredible heat or energy manipulation struggles to truly impact her. She is able to function at maximum capacity for hours on end without wavering or fading. She can also survive an extremely long time without food, sleep or water and doesn't feel the effects of starvation, dehydration or sleep deprivation for several days. She is even able to use her telekinesis to survive in a vacuum, albeit only for half an hour before she grows tired. She can go at least several hours without breathing, functioning in deep sea or space, although the pressure of space is what requires her to use telekinesis to protect herself.<br><br><strong>Accelerated Healing:</strong> While nowhere near a true healing factor Yolande is able to recover from even horrific, agonising injuries in a matter of moments. This ability seems to keep her appearing perpetually as old, fit and strong as she did when her powers first developed. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>New Mutant:</strong> Yolande has an incredible amount of power, and potential power, but nearly no experience using it. She is extremely unreliable at employing her abilities, but has a huge amount of difficulty making herself accept any help. <br><br><strong>Selfish:</strong> Yolande is a self centered person who tends to think little of those around her. She feels most people think very slowly and believes that to be a sign of laziness, only increasing her distaste with them. Her priority is, at all times, herself. She can often seem aloof, distant or outright insulting. <br><br><strong>Short Tempered:</strong> If pushed Yolande is very quick to snap at others, going from friendly or polite to highly aggressive in a matter of seconds. <br><br><strong>Overconfident:</strong> As well as being selfish Yolande is incredibly confident. She has an extreme amount of faith in herself even in entirely new situations. She is liable to make foolish or minor mistakes as she often overlooks little details that would concern others. However, she would never admit to these errors and become extremely aggravated. <br><br><strong>Lonely:</strong> Despite her arrogance Yolande is only human, and wishes she had people who cared about her. She tends to push away a lot of potential friends unintentionally, and is very withdrawn and can sometimes experience depression and alcohol abuse. But, as she refuses to accept that she could have flaws, these only tend to worsen themselves. The more she drinks the more she despises herself for drinking.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br><strong>Academically Gifted:</strong> Yolande's always been an academically talented person even before her powers. Now that her mind is enhanced she is almost impossibly intelligent.

Some speculate this is due to his advanced age, that he has come to realize that you shouldn't take life so seriously. But people who have known James as far back as the 60s would know that even then he was a trickster. He loves pulling practical jokes on people, and will quite often result to annoying people to get what he wants. This cheerful personality has made him somewhat popular among the students, as he doesn't take late assignment hand ins and flunking very seriously. He cares greatly for all his students, and if a student has problems repeatedly, he will help them understand, however long that might take. James has known both Charles and Eric since they founded the X-Men and respects them both immensely, agreeing entirely with neither, though for the the time siding with Charles. James is at his core a humanitarian, using his immensely advance knowledge of genetics and biology in general to make the world a better place. James sees the government as nothing more than cowardly tyrants, feeling that mutants are a natural evolution and therefore must be superior. Though he keeps these thoughts very much private, feeling that Eric's way is not the right way. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> James Nicola Bradley was born on 22nd of April 1904. James was born to the scientist Nicola Bradley and his wife Catherine. Born in the upper class of San Francisco meant that the young James had a ample opportunity to follow in his father's footsteps. James grew up fascinated by the human potential, and little by little started reading about the theories of the human blood. As he grew older, approaching his 17th birthday, the young James started finding himself outsmarting many of his contemporaries when it came to the field of human anatomy and physiology. Not liking being shamed by a 17 year old, many of these scientists left the ideas of James as words of a madman. Scorned by the academic community at large, James began experiments that was... outside the bounds of legality. Eventually, one cold night in 1940, James sat by his desk, a vial in his hand. This vial, contained a serum James had been tasked with developing by the government, however he suspected that were he to turn it over, they would eliminate him. Instead, James swallowed the entire vial, despite having written in his report that mere drops would increase the longevity of a man by decades, perhaps even a century. James, now a fugitive left the united states, ferried across the pond to Europe by Nazi sympathizers seeking scientists willing to work for Hitler. Having always wanted to do large scale experiments on groups of people at once, James jumped at the chance to test his skills for the Nazi party. In the beginning, he was merely during humanitarian work, designing pills that could deliver all the calories, nutrients, mineral and fat that a person needed in a day. The test subjects for these trials was a group of "War Prisoners" as he was told. However, having grown up around Jews, James knew what they were, and did his best to make sure the pills he produced had no side effects. Later, he rejected an offer put forward by a Nazi biological weapons group that wanted his expertise for the eastern front. <br><br>James saw the end of the war coming, and secretly he began sending informations back to the states after a promise of pardon had been made. James was one of the operatives in germany who relayed information to the States regarding Concentration Camps housing mostly women and children, as well as those camps that were closest to being purged. When American forces struck against the camp he was stationed at, James was extracted from Nazi Germany and was taken back to the states for debriefing. For the next few years James worked with the American government in rounding up Nazis who had fled during the end of the war, however even that soon got boring to him. James vanished for all intents and purposes till he in the early 00s made contact with Charles Xavier whom he had previously befriended when Charles and Eric sought to form the X-Men. James had been flushed out by the Government who had discovered his involvment in a series of miraculous medicinal discoveries that had help improving standards of living in some of the world's most downtrodden areas. James was forced to move into the Mansion, but the government soon saw their mistake, as they had just handed Charles Xavier a bargaining chip with potentially unlimited usefulness. They learned this the hard way when James refused to renew contracts with any of his license holders till such a time as one of Charles' demands was met at the negotiating table, a tactic Charles did not like, but accepted, reluctantly. For the past 2 years, James has been helping the UN, while under heavy US Military Guard, cure first cholera, then Malaria, and most recently AIDS. James is a publicly known mutant, and a popular one in the poor parts of the world where his exploits are legendary. <br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Intuitive Genius</strong> - James' mutation makes him able to intuitively comprehend concepts and designs related to the human body and its improvement, such as advance gene therapy and limited cyberntics (so far he's only managed to succesfully modify his own body). This has enabled James to become one of, if not THE, greatest expert in human anatomy, genetic structure and evolution in the world. Through his studies of the human body, James has fine tuned ways of improving it way beyond what is normally possible with current medical technology. Coupled with his formal training, this mutation has allowed James to make several improvements to his body.<br><br><strong>Advanced Longevity</strong> - James has modified his own cell structure that has almost halted his ageing. At the age of 114, James still looks as he did in his mid 30s, <br><br><strong>Immune system enhancement</strong> - With regular injections, James has managed to bolster his immune system to a degree that he is now functionally unable to get sick, and most poisons have little or no effect on him.<br><br><strong>Cybernetic Eyes</strong> - James realized some time in his 5th decade on this world that while his body had effectively stopped ageing, his optical nerve was still ageing, albeit at a slightly slower pace. As such, he began laying the blueprints for what would eventually come to be his new eyes. In the late 90s, James managed to create them and transplant them into himself with the help of an anonymous third party possession's of more advanced technology than James had access to himself. These eyes allows James to clearly see objects of up to 300 meters away. They also enable him a safe form of X-ray vision that has greatly helped him identify potential health problems among the students of the school. They can also detect mutations in everyone he looks upon, as well as detect genetic anomalies such as healing factors, cancer and whether or not they are clones. <br><br><strong>Modified KRISS Vector:</strong> A modified KRISS Vector Submachine Gun, modified to carry 5.6×15mm hypodermic syringes filled with various drugs, tissue regenerating solutions and the like. It is James' primary weapon in battle and is disassembled, cleaned and put back together every single day regardless use.&nbsp; <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Conceptual Overload:</strong> If James does not actively work on the ideas that comes to him, his health, especially his mental and neurological health begins deteriorating rapidly, causing him to have blood clots in the brain, as well as neurological problems. This has only happened twice so far, once recently, causing him to journey back to the mansion. <br><br><strong>Workaholic</strong> - James overworks himself quite often, forcing him to go into near hibernation like sleep cycles. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.

Her skin is fair and has no tan-lines since she is constantly covered up, no matter the season. She has an “M” burned on the outer edge of her right cheekbone, which she keeps hidden beneath her side-swept bangs. She also has scars of various sizes on her palms and forearms, which she also hides by wearing long sleeves and sometimes finger-less gloves. Despite her height, she tends to keep her head lowered slightly and her eyes fixed towards the floor.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Tess has a rather bland wardrobe. Her outfits consist of long-sleeved shirts and over-sized sweaters in mostly dark colors and dark blue skinny jeans. She doesn't wear anything different when it comes to fighting. She mostly tries to conflict.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Just by looking at her choice of attire and her posture, it's clear that Tess is not a social butterfly. She tends to stay quiet and to her own thoughts whenever she's not eavesdropping on those around her. Tess has a hard time trusting anyone and didn't have any friends prior to coming to the X-Mansion, which was actually by choice. She is definitely not against having friends while residing at the X-Mansion, but it'll probably take some getting used to. Her hobbies include drawing and playing video games and she fears only one thing: her stepfather.<br><br>When the US government passed the legislation, Tess did not care that she was being tagged and forced to choose between uprooting her life to move or be watched. She needed a reason to leave her home and she did not hesitate to pack her things and go. While she does recognize how terrible it might be for other mutants, it was the best thing to happen to her for a long time.<br><br>Tess is mostly against violence, so her thoughts on Charles's approach towards the Brotherhood are understanding. While there are times where you have to fight fist with fist, it is far more beneficial, in her mind, to attempt to change the minds of foes. Bodies heal and are ready to fight again, so you must try to convince the mind that there is no reason to fight. As far as her thoughts on The Brotherhood, she is definitely against it. To her, there is no reason that humans and mutants can't live together. There's no reason for the violence or the fear that they inflict on others.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Tess grew up in a broken home as an only child. Her father, who she knows nothing about, other than he was “not normal,” left when she was very young. Since then, her mother has had several boyfriends, all of which ended up being the ones to leave. Her stepfather, who has been around since she was 11, is an abusive man – both mentally and physically. While her mother thinks that she loves him, Tess recognizes that she only puts up with it because she's afraid of being left again.<br><br>When her abilities began, her stepfather would take it upon himself to punish Tess for not being human. It started with threats against her mother until she complied and accepted her punishment. Seven years of this has left her with defensive scars on her hands and forearms and one deliberately placed “M” burned onto her right cheek, which had been the result of the heavy conflict between humans and mutants within the last few years.<br><br>Tess has never tried to fight back, for fear of what would happen to her mother. And while she knows that it is physically possible for her to do some serious harm or even kill him, she could never bring herself to do so. Leaving to join the community of mutants in the X-Mansion was her best option.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> Time Manipulation<br><br>Tess has the ability to stop time and rewind time. She can move freely during this, which makes it appear as though she can teleport. Lacking control over her abilities, she can only stop time for a few minutes and rewind no longer than one minute.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> None <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong><br><br>Temporal Looping: While Tess sleeps, she is unable to control her power, which sometimes causes time to rewind a full day. When she wakes up in the morning, it'll be the same day that it was yesterday. Everyone around her will say the same things to her, the same person will yet again bump her shoulder in the parking lot, her stepfather will deal out the same punishment, etc. She has no ability to change the outcome of these days and is forced to play passenger as everything happens the same way again and again. This looping has lasted up to a week and a half of the same day and currently Tess has no idea what causes it.<br><br>Temporal Vertigo: After using her ability, Tess often suffers from symptoms of vertigo, which can range anywhere from simply becoming off-balanced to vomiting. The severity of the changes she makes while manipulating time determines the severity of the symptoms. While she can simply step out of the way of getting hit and only get a little off-balanced, if she decides to, instead, go grab a weapon and counter-attack, she'll immediately lose control and fall to the ground in immense pain or intense nausea.<br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> Impatient<br><br>Due to the fact that some of her days repeat over and over, Tess has become impatient and has difficulty feigning interest in things she has heard time and time again.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>N/A

Dayana Crunk<br><strong>Physical Features:</strong>&nbsp; Joanne has a scar on her chest that runs from just over her right breast to just under her left.&nbsp; She refuses to talk about how she got it.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong>&nbsp; Her style has a bit of a slight goth element to it, usually sporting darker colors, spikes, and leather, however once in a while, she'll sport brighter colors if she feels like it. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Rebellious is perhaps the best way to describe Joanne.&nbsp; If she's told to do something she doesn't want to do, then odds are she's going to find a way to either not do it or find a way around it.&nbsp; This can lead to her being a handful for anyone that's charged with trying to keep her on a certain path, but she's never intentionally spiteful or mean about things, simply preferring to find her own way.&nbsp; Once you get past that rebellious nature, she's a kind, fun loving person and enjoys hanging around with others and just enjoying life to the fullest.&nbsp; However, if someone manages to piss her off, then she becomes a totally different person and has no problems with letting someone know that she has an issue with them.&nbsp; And she won't let it go until the issue is settled to her satisfaction, sometimes causing her to have issues with the senior members of the group.<br><br>This has led her to clash with Charles and his pacifistic way of handling the Brotherhood as she felt that if someone had betrayed her that badly, she would've made them suffer.&nbsp; She's also very vocal about her disdain for the government as it makes an effort to round up mutants to either tag or imprison, believing with all her heart that no one should be able to do that to her just because of who she is.&nbsp; However, she also doesn't see the wisdom in the Brotherhood's more violent activities since she can see how that only made those that opposed mutants feel justified in their continuing campaign against them.&nbsp; She just wants to be left alone and allowed to live her life without any issues, and she will fight to the death in order to ensure that no one ever forces her to live as a slave or second-class citizen.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong>&nbsp; Growing up in a small town in New York, Joanne had a fairly normal childhood.&nbsp; Her parents both worked, but still managed to find plenty of time to devote to her, encouraging her to participate in whatever activity that she chose and she fell in love with music and was learning to play guitar from the time she was seven years old.&nbsp; This made her very popular among her class growing up and she got along with most of the kids in her grade and the ones around it as everyone seemed to think that she was going to be famous at some point in her life.&nbsp; While she never really thought about that much, she did enjoy how playing guitar seemed to make her popular, not to mention she loved how she could just lose herself in her music whenever she was having a bad day or was stressed out about something.&nbsp; As far as her classes went, she was a fairly decent student, usually getting Bs with a few As mixed in for the most part.&nbsp; It seemed like she was headed towards a fairly comfortable life until one incident when she was 13 years old would change all of that.<br><br>While most kids liked her, or at the very least didn't mind her, there were a few girls that didn't care for her that much.&nbsp; They saw her and her popularity as a threat to their own popularity and didn't want anyone competing with them for attention.&nbsp; Confronting Joanne one day after school as she was exiting the building.&nbsp; Not willing to back down as the girls demanded that she change, she stood up to them, but she was outnumbered five to one and that made the girls bold.&nbsp; When she refused to give into their demands, they attacked her, shoving her to the ground and starting to beat on her as dozens of their classmates looked on and cheered the fight.&nbsp; Attempting to fight back only made the girls angry and one of them pulled out a knife and slashed at her, leaving a scar on her chest.&nbsp; Realizing that things were going too far, others now stepped in, but it was too late and Joanne's powers manifested themselves that day as the shadows around them suddenly came to her aid, wrapping themselves around her like a shield and not allowing anyone near her until her parents finally arrived.<br><br>Everything changed that day.&nbsp; Where before, she was extremely popular, now kids stirred clear of her, muttering under their breaths as she passed them by.&nbsp; At first, she was able to ignore it by assuming that after a while, things would go back to normal.&nbsp; But they never did.&nbsp; In fact, things slowly got more and more hostile as more and more people learned what she was.&nbsp; Where before, she had plenty of friends, now she had nobody and she started to lash out at people for even the slightest of things, making her even more of an outsider.&nbsp; Eventually, she stopped trying to fit in, changing everything about herself, including her clothing style, hair, and how she behaved in school.&nbsp; Where before, she was a decent student, she started skipping classes and sometimes not even getting out of bed at all.&nbsp; Her parents also seemed to struggle with not only their daughter's change in behavior, but also with the knowledge that she was a mutant.&nbsp; Where before, they had been extremely involved in her life and trying to help her, they stayed away and she could sometimes hear them arguing about what to do about her, which only fueled her anger and rebellious behavior even further.<br><br>And then, one day she came home from actually going to school to find a man in a wheelchair talking to her parents.&nbsp; The man's name was Charles Xavier and after listening to what he had to say, she decided to take him up on the offer of going to his school and being surrounded by people like herself.&nbsp; However, upon arriving, she struggled to adapt to her new environment at first and her rebellious attitude remained.&nbsp;

Scars and burn marks on the middle of her back, mostly gone now, but some, the biggest, are still visible. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Alison prefers to dress in black, often in gothic dresses, but mostly in black leather pants and black tanktops. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Alison is outwardly a dark person, both in the way she dresses and how she interacts with the world. That being said, she is fiercely loyal to her fellow mutants and students. Alison was the victimn of abuse from a young age, her father physically torturing her for no real reason. When the social services were finally informed of her situation by a concered teacher when Alison was 7, she was a cold, emotionless child. Alison has improved somewhat since then, but trust does not come easily, and is earned rather than given. Around her friends at the Mansion however, Alison has found true happiness, though she rearely smiles, those who know her can tell her happiness by the very real radiance that surrounds her when she's happy. Alison is a musician at heart and is rarely seen without a pair of headphones on, blasting some form of music, be it Wagner or Dimmu Borgir, into her ears. While Alison hates her father with a passion, she does not hate regular people, having almost killed the military personnel that came to escort her to the mansion, if not for her adoptive father's calming influence. She to this day, writes them a hand written letter every single week giving them updates on her life at the Mansion. Further more, Alison was present during a terrorist attack committed by the Brotherhood, and saw a friend of hers die as a result of debris being thrown by Juggernaught. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Alison Blaire started out life being hated by one parent, and neglected by another. Alison, through sheer force of will endured these traumatic years, turning into a cold, some times cruel, otherwise emotioneless child. It wasn't till she was 7 that an adult from outside of her family finally found out what was being done to her, when in a fit of frustration, her P.E. teacher, tired of Alison's excuses for why she refused to wear proper gym clothes forced Alison to take off her shirt, revealing a still healing back filled with scars and burn marks. She was immediately removed from her parents, and placed first in the custody of her estranged and ageing grandparents who were shocked to know they even had a granddaughter, and what their son had done to her. When her grandparents could no longer handle the task, she was placed with a foster family, the Stevensons. She came to love the Stevensons, and see them as her true parents and her foster sister as her sister. <br><br>On her 13th birthday, she was officially adopted by the Stevenson family. It was with the Stevensons that Alison cultivated her love for music, and at 16 she formed a band along with her sister and a few of their friend, an underground all female Metal band, that quickly began popular in the underground metal scene. Alison played base and did vocals in the band, and was the main creative driving force, the others just appreciative they had her around. At 17 she and the others, now calling themselves Blaire Witch Project, got a record deal with a major metal label. They produced 2 albums, and released one of them in the span of just 4 months. It was during a gig promoting their band that Alison's powers first manifested themselves when she absorbed the sound of the cheering from the audience, and in a display later written in a review as "The most awe inspiring display of utter optical beauty" projected holograms of herself and band, as well as a photonic mist that drifted from the stage and illuminated the audience from below. The whole thing was recorded, and while it was considered back stage to stop the gig right then and there, the host said to go on, and so the now infamous "Blaire Witch Project gig recording" now banned as "Pro-mutant propaganda" came to be. The following day, Alison was taken away, and brought, reluctantly, to the Mansion<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Sound Conversion:</strong> She has the ability to transduce sonic vibrations, which reach her body into various types of light. This ability seems to operate over a great range of frequencies, including the audible spectrum (35 to 16,500 cycles per second), and a great variation of sound pressure levels regardless of the complexity, dissonance, or randomness of the sound. For example, a car crash and a symphonic passage of equal duration will both produce usable music incoming acoustic vibrations. Dazzler, however, does prefer the sound of music, particularly that which is rhythmically sustained. Not only is music more pleasant to her ears, but the beats of music provides a more constant source of sound to convert.<br><br><strong><em>Sound Release:</em></strong> She has the ability to release the absorbed sound in one burst.<br><br><strong>Light Projection:</strong> Dazzler possesses a body-wide energy field that controls the energy levels of the outer electron shells of her body in such a way as to cause the cascaded release of photons. In effect, this field is lasing, with the apparent efficiency of a laser (99.9%). The released energy is far greater than the incoming kinetic energy and therefore must involve an outside energy source, the nature of which is unknown. Left undirected, the Dazzler’s light will radiate from her body in all directions, producing regular flashes of white light (white light is a mixture of all portions of the visible spectrum). By conscious control over the light she produces, she can control its direction, frequency (color), amplitude (intensity), and duration. Apparently the Dazzler must consciously or subconsciously will the light to leave her body. Otherwise, light would “leak” from her at all times, even when she is asleep or unconscious. She can produce numerous effects with the light she converts from sonic vibrations. She can create very simple patterns out of rays of light like circles, squares, triangles, and stars. She can create a pulse of light on the order of several thousand watts seconds of power, which temporarily blinds people with its brilliance. She has learned to manifest her light as:<br><br><strong><em>Lasers:</em></strong> By concentrating, Dazzler can generate a coherent beam of light, approximating a laser beam, with which she can cut through virtually anything. The field thus operates in a similar fashion as the process that creates a laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and apparently has the same efficiency as a laser (99.9 percent).

He does have very visible muscles however, as he has such incredibly low body fat percentage due to how efficient his body is. His teeth are damaged and his arms are highly vascular. He has a habit of wearing white contacts to maintain his 'boogeyman' image. Bobby has a great deal of different tattoos. Most of these are L.A gang tattoos, signifying his past deeds. While he is not ashamed of them and does not hide them, he isn't proud either. They are far too big a part of him to lose, no matter how far behind him is old life is in his eyes.<br><br>In his pyrokinetic form Bobby becomes a 'demon' he has nicknamed Snapdragon. This form gives him a great deal of height and weight. In it he has a monstrous, inhuman visage with glowing eyes and a huge row of spiked teeth. His skin becomes charred and leathery, and he is permanently set alight. His voice becomes an inhuman growl, and echoes out loudly.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Bobby grew up in west L.A and his casual style is typically baggy white tees and baggy blue jeans. He's adapted that a little since gaining the 'Snapdragon' persona, and dressed to intimidate as fitting his work. He wears darker shirts and jeans, often coupling them with bright white or red contact lenses. Now that he is at the school he dresses very casually again, returning to his comfortable and&nbsp; relaxed style.<br><br><div align="center">(https://cdn2-strangemusicinc.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Godemis-Freedoom.jpg)(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8c/6d/3d/8c6d3dc98308f57feb39f7c6e6bba54d.jpg)(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/toVLKjBtiPE/maxresdefault.jpg)</div><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><div align="center"><em>Snip, Snap, Dragon!</em><br><strong>-Snapdragon's 'Catchphrase'</strong></div><br><strong>Personality:</strong> For years Bobby was a killer and a thug. Used as a tool in gang violence he was a figure with a nightmarish reputation. Even to hardened criminals he was a ghost story that spooked them. He was cold hearted, thoughtless and nearly entirely emotionless. He killed without mercy or regret, and held nothing back with his incredibly brutal powers. He relished the Snapdragon persona and would be antagonistic to people just to find an excuse to use it. He even murdered women, children, civilians and police officers while he worked. Once he was sent to a building there were no survivors. <br><br>He never gave a single thought to the world at large, not caring what happened to himself or humanity. All he wanted to do was gain money and power, all the while burning anyone or anything in his path. He had no emotional connection or empathy for his victims, and barely even cared about what he did. He developed a major dependence on drugs, as the toll of his actions was weighing on him in ways he didn't fully realise. He struggled to sleep, felt restless and sick, but never realised why. The only thing that silenced the screams and images was substance abuse.<br><br>Years later when Bobby was captured and imprisoned on Riker's island he deliberately requested solitary confinement. He knew full well that if he was allowed with the general population it would only be a matter of time before he committed mass murder. He soon became self hating and self depreciating, coming to terms with his deeds and evil as his drug dependence left him. Each day and night was a waking nightmare, as his power let him avoid sleep it never ended. He developed a personal faith, perhaps loosely based on Christianity but he would never call himself a Christian. He simply believed he needed to live out the remainder of his life as a kind man and a pacifist, even if that meant never leaving his cell again. <br><br>After two years in prison he was considered fully and entirely reformed. He was granted a meeting with Charles Xavier to decide whether it might be possible for him to join the X-Mansion. He was initially highly cautious and uncertain about being placed in a school environment, fearing that he could be goaded into anger. But with Charles's promise to help him learn to control himself he finally agreed to become a member of the school, with the express point that he had no interest in ever becoming an X-man as he couldn't bring himself to bring out 'The Dragon' ever again. <br><br>He has a lot of belief in Charles and his methods, and one of the few things that frustrates him is the warlike suggesting Charles to be a weak man. He sees him as incredibly strong as he has stuck to his convictions despite the doubts of anyone around him. He sees it as the duty of anyone truly powerful to maintain a strict goal of pacifism, and himself will not employ violence. Bobby knows better than most that the Governments methods regarding some mutants are absolutely necessary. He feels that he deserves to be tagged and monitored, as in a single bad day he could kill thousands. He believes Magneto is a lost man, who needs to find his faith and belief once again. But he cannot judge another for their violence, as his past involves more evil than many other men and his didn't even have a valid cause to fight for.<br><br>Bobby tries his hardest to be a kind and caring person but he has a habit of pushing others away from himself. Due to his past deeds he tends to believe he has the capacity to relapse and doesn't like to grow too close to others. He has never had any romantic feelings in his life, and struggles to truly understand them. He will go out of his way to do good deeds, seeing himself as trying to atone for his past. Although he is incredibly well behaved and strict about how he lives his life it is hard for him to be seen as a symbol of a 'Good' mutant both because of his criminal past and his appearance, being covered in tattoos and showing clear signs of heavy drug abuse. If confronted he will never argue back, and would rather allow himself to be beaten or otherwise injured instead of fighting someone else.<br><br>Although he despises 'Snapdragon' and will not burn, heat up or transform if he can possibly help it, he will use his speed. He cannot help the rate at which he naturally moves, and he sees little evil or harm in doing things more efficiently. He is curious to be given a chance to show off, or share, his more mundane powers a little. But he will close up very quickly at any suggestion of using what he can really do. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Bobby was born in west L.A and grew up surrounded by a great deal of violence. His parents dealt drugs together, often disappearing to serve brief prison sentences before the corrupt system spat them back out to the streets. Bobby suffered physical and mental abuse, being screamed at and beat by his irrational and unstable parents. His household often contained a great deal of drugs, weapons and visiting criminals. He almost never attended school, and when he did his mind was never truly on the matters at hand. <br><br>When he was little more than a young child he witnessed his father batter a man to death with a baseball bat, while Bobby's mother held him back and told him to look away. But young Bobby was incapable of tearing his eyes away from the horror. To this day he remembers it clearly, and considers it to be a spark that drove his darker tendencies going forwards. As he was just about to become a teenager his parents finally fell out worse than before, leading to a fight. Bobby locked himself in his room while he heard crashes, screaming and swearing from downstairs. He was in shaking, uncontrollable tears when the silence stopped with a single echoing gunshot. In an instant he stood, tearing down the stairs to see what had happened. He collapsed to the floor when he saw his father laying on his back, a single gunshot wound in his forehead. His mother was shivering and wailing, the pistol itself in her loose grip. <br><br>Bobby froze in the moment, screaming internally but being incapable of even acting. It was at this moment that his latent mutation manifested. Time seemed to slow to a standstill. He could see his mother's shuddering breaths as if each one lasted a minute. Anger welled up inside him steadily, as this waking horror seemed to stretch on indefinitely. As the rage bubbled up he felt something else, something new. A heat rose inside him and a sense of power rushed through his body. In an instant he was wracked with agonising pain, just having time to see a look of horror as his mother looked at him before the entire room began to burst into flames. First the wood and paper lit, and then even the metal and concrete began to spontaneously combust around him. <br><br>Bobby passed out in the inferno, having incinerated the building and killed his surviving parent. When he was found in the wreckage by the fire crew it was considered nothing short of a complete miracle. Unfortunately he was nothing more than a brief 'feel good' news story about a disaster survivor before he was tossed into the ghetto he grew up in's dismal orphanage system. He was not the scared and beaten child he had been though, and now seemed to be something of a monstrosity. He was violent, unpredictable and incredibly intimidating to even older children. This was in no small part due to the incredible powers he was carefully hiding. It wasn't until Bobby eventually reached sixteen that he decided it was time to abandon the orphanage and give up on ever finding a real home. <br><br>After only a few short days on the streets he had a run in with a group of criminals who began to push him and threaten him. Bobby was no longer a person who would take it, and in an instant he swung his fist with incredible force. To the men it was almost impossible to perceive, but the single strike broke the would be bullies neck with ease. A few of the men backed off, but then decided they could make real use of the clear mutant. They brought Bobby back to their house. It was a dilapidated, shoddy building and depressingly reminded Bobby of home. But these people were being kind to him, they gave him food and water and talked to him about what they did. <br><br>It didn't take much convincing for the angry and hurt teenager to agree to trade his talents for shelter, food, water and protection. He would be a threat and enforcer, someone to turn them from two bit thieves and dealers to the real big leagues. Before long this worked out far better than they had hoped, as Bobby's persona of 'Snapdragon' began to truly manifest it turned out that he was closer to a demon than a child. He had no mercy, and butchered anyone he was sent for. His showmanship built up, creating a dark image for himself. He would dress in dark clothing, got tattoos of skulls and flames across his body, and took to wearing white or red contacts at all times. Soon he found a catchphrase for what he called his 'Magic trick'. <br><br>He would walk into a rival drug den and head directly into the center, waiting for people to notice and start threatening him. When they did he would simply say 'Snip, Snap, Dragon'. Clicking his fingers twice on the words snip and snap when he said dragon he would focus on bringing about his powers. In a roaring inferno the entire den would light up in a split second, often most of the victims would barely hear the world dragon before being set alight. There were never any survivors, and forensics could not find any source of the flames or an explanation as to just how something that hot had been created. <br><br>It took only three before the handful of gangsters he joined ruled Compton with an iron fist. Nothing happened there without their say so, and the threat of Snapdragon was one even the most cynical of killers took deadly seriously. They all knew someone who had been killed by the boogeyman of the drug trade. However, Bobby himself was growing despondent. While he didn't feel depressed the toll of his actions wore on him. He turned to abusing the drugs he traded, and drinking himself to sleep each night. He lashed out more and more at his friends and allies. Eventually, when pushed too far, he asked his own friends if they had ever seen what they were inflicting on people. They realised too late what was inevitable, and with three simple words they all fled. But the building was ablaze before they could take a few paces, and Bobby alone walked through the fire unharmed as the people who had taken him from the street and made him a killer died around him.<br><br>This time the police were finally growing closer, as an FBI investigation had been launched. It was considered clear that the infernos were the work of a particularly deadly mutant, and eventually Bobby was uncovered. When it came time Bobby made no effort to resist arrest. He walked onto the street with his hands behind his head, falling to his knees. The fire service doused him in foam and water, then handcuffed him and placed him in a specailised cold storage transport unit. For the first time since he lost his parents Bobby felt genuinely weak. The icy conditioned seemed to sap him of his power.<br><br>Without trial or an offer of Xavier's school Bobby was imprisoned at Riker's island. Considered an 'Alpha' threat he was granted his request of solitary confinement. He spent the next three years finding himself, as his drug and alcohol habits finally left him he grew sad and withdrawn. He was a changed person, and found no lust for violence any more. He didn't speak to anyone but a single psychologist for those entire three years, but that woman considered him to have changed for the better. She felt he was a genuine case of an incredibly hardened criminal truly reforming themselves.<br><br>It took a long time but eventually he was allowed to meet with Charles Xavier and offered a place at the X-Mansion. He is highly nervous about his place there, given his huge problems interacting with people in the past and his horrifically destructive nature. He intends to better himself, finally gaining a real education and learning what it is to both care about others and be cared about himself. But, he has sworn he will not be an active member of the X-Men. He does not wish to fight ever again, as he fears Snapdragon far too much to want to bring him out. At this point it's been a year since he last willingly brought out his pyrokinetic form in jail, and he hopes he will last many more years before a day dark enough to warrant it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Bobby:</strong></span></div><br><strong>Pyrokinetic Speedster:</strong> Snapdragon is a speedster fueled by energy, primarily in the form of heat. He passively draws energy from any nearby sources and rarely needs to spend time recuperating unless he pushes his powers non-stop for an extremely long time. The largest drawback to his power is that he is only capable of fully utilising his powers if he enters a 'pyrokinetic form'. This greatly enhances his speed and energy manipulation, but comes with a highly destructive and chaotic downside. Even while outside of pyrokinetic form he emits a great deal of heat, but as he is so fast this is very brief, and it isn't enough to cause any devastation. Outside of his pyrokinetic form he can reach Mach 3 with reasonable ease. However, when fully pushing his pyrokinetic form he can reach Mach 7. Although at this pace even his enhanced reactions begin to falter, and his explosive danger makes him more of a living missile than anything. <br><br><strong>Speedster Physiology:</strong> Snapdragon possesses full 'Speedster' physiology. His body is perfectly adapted to suit moving at the absurd pace he can manage. He is nearly entirely immune to blunt force trauma impacts while running, letting him throw punches at several times the speed of sound without hurting himself. Not only that but he can react to things faster than anyone else can think. He is more than capable of dodging bullets from no more than milliseconds away. To him a gunshot is a painfully slow event, and he can simply casually sidestep the shot, while to anyone else he will move as a sudden blur. This speedster physiology also grants him a minor healing factor, while a lot better than a human it is nowhere close to Logan or Sabretooth. His muscles incredibly tightness also gives him enhanced strength, enough to lift a car over his head but not throw it. Despite not being well educated Bobby's speed at processing information lets him learn extremely quickly, and he is particularly adept at reacting in uncertain situations.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br><strong>Energy Absorbption:</strong> At all times Snapdragon drains energy around him. Anything form of energy will be steadily sapped, and he has no control over this ability. When drained or weakened it is enough to flicker lightbulbs, short out mains circuits and sap other energy manipulators. However, when full, it has little to no real effect. It can be felt by others who possess a lot of energy, but beyond that it does nothing. It would cause the air to grow colder, but as he absorbed the heat he would expel some of it, and so the air is always warm around him. As long as he has enough energy he will never tire, and requires no sources of food, water, sleep or even air to function. Due to the fact he is constantly drawing in more energy it is impossible to take what he has stored whether he wants it gone or not, only intense cold or expending it can diminish his reserves. As he has such a vast capacity to absorb and gain energy he is nearly completely immune to other sources, most of them will merely empower him further. However, if pushed with an incredible quantity the most likely affect is that it would force him to enter his pyrokinetic form.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Snapdragon:</strong></span></div><br><strong>Pyrokinetic Form:</strong> If Snapdragon has enough energy stored he can become what he considers the 'demon' that he's nicknamed Snapdragon. He can only maintain this form very briefly, and if he pushes it for more than a few minutes he will collapse. Throughout he will suffer incredibly intense pain, as the transformation wrought on his body followed by the burning agony is crippling. Through this he has developed an incredible pain tolerance. He is able to pass directly through solid objects in this form, either by incinerating them or briefly turning his body into superheated atoms, passing through and then re-forming on the other side. Due to the fact he has trapped the darkest parts of his mind, including all of his hatred and anger, in with his powers he is a nightmare for a telepath in this form. He is almost impossibly strong willed, and they will be forced to witness the cruelty he inflicted. The additional powers this grants are:<br><br><strong>Enhanced Physiology:</strong> Snapdragon's already incredibly superhuman, but this form enhances that to a far greater level. His maximum speed more than triples from Mach 3 to Mach 10. His strength goes from just about lifting 1-2 tons to lifting and throwing upwards of 20 tons. He becomes bulletproof, and seems to be nearly entirely impervious to any and all harm. In reality the sheer quantity of energy he is formed from is nearly indestructible, and the only way to put him down is to wait until his energy is burnt out.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br><strong>Pyrokinesis:</strong> In this form Snapdragon is still a chaotic living fireball, setting alight to areas around him seemingly at random. But, in addition, he has the ability to create and control flames. He can hurl fireballs, or emit great walls of fire from his palms or mouth. If he truly wishes he can create an inferno around him the size of a large building, hot enough to melt metal. He is also able to alter the heat of the air or solid objects, increasing it exponentially to cause severe pain, difficulty breathing the burning air or things to burst into flames. <br><br><strong>Flight: </strong>Utilising the amount of raw energy in his pyrokinetic form to create a blast of flames not dissimilar to a jet engine Snapdragon can propel himself into the air. Perhaps unusually he is considerably slower in the air than he is on foot. His ordinary cruising speed is roughly 140mph but he can propel himself to Mach 2 with some effort. <br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Hates the cold:</strong> Areas of extreme cold (Starting at 0 degrees and rapidly worsening as temperature drops) Snapdragon's powers are highly diminished. He will suffer from fatigue in the cold much quicker than most people, eventually falling unconscious. If he has a good amount of stored energy he can counteract this at least somewhat, and when he uses his powers it will warm up at least a small area.<br><br><strong>Only so much energy:</strong> Snapdragon's body is incapable of physically tiring as any other ordinary human's might. Instead he is powered exclusively by his energy supply. While he can absorb a vast amount, and can continue to function while siphoning more, he will eventually run out. This is particularly true for his 'demonic' Pyrokinetic form, which can only be held for a few brief minutes.<br><br><strong>Energy Overload:</strong> Bobby constantly Siphon's energy which needs to be expended. At a certain point he either has to chose, or his body forces him, to use his pyrokinetic form. While in solitary he had so little energy to use that this was nearly never an issue, but since moving to the school his levels of energy have been rapidly increasing. <br><br><strong>I don't play well with others:</strong> Snapdragon has too major problems while working as a part of a team. Firstly he will always draw energy from those around him, forcing other energy users to focus on keeping their power to themselves. This will even cause some mild fatigue in ordinary people who spend too long near him. And secondly he cannot control the destructive nature of his pyrokinetic form, and will incinerate things around him at random. As these flames can easily melt solid steel nobody without incredible resilience can be near him and even they are liable to suffer incredible pain. <br><br><strong>Dark history:</strong> Bobby is haunted by the memories of his former criminal life. He genuinely despises that history, and wishes to leave it entirely behind him. Unfortunately he cannot rid himself of the crippling guilt the memories carry. He is a restless sleeper and prone to bouts of heavy depression. At these times he keeps to himself, knowing he is liable to become irrational. <br><br><strong>I don't do that anymore:</strong> Bobby's dark history has given him great passion about violence. He despises it in all forms, and has sworn to himself to never take another life. He spends a long time meditating and praying, attempting to soul-search and fix himself. The large issue here is that he is not sure he would be psychologically able to make himself become 'Snapdragon' ever again. Perhaps if his friends were threatened, but even then the toll it would take would be nothing short of crushing.<br><br><strong>Former user and abuser:</strong> Bobby has had a long history of abusing both alcohol and extremely hard drugs. While in prison he has been forced to be 'cold turkey' and has recovered from his former dependence on either after a long period of suffering. However, if he were to suffer any extreme loss or emotional pain he would be at risk of falling back to his old ways.<br><br><strong>Voice in my head:</strong> 'Snapdragon' is more than a mere nickname given to his pyrokinetic form. There is at least a little truth to his ideas that it is a demonic being. In reality he suffers from schizophrenia, having compartmentalised the 'evil' past him and locked it away he will sometimes hear it speak to him. It urges him to violence, a return to his old ways. He can almost always silence it, and is now over a year clean of utilising 'Snapdragon'. <br><br><strong>Everything's so slow:</strong> Snapdragon perceives the world a thousand times faster than any ordinary human, having a reaction time of 0.0004 seconds. He can have moments of impatience, although as he has grown used to his perception of events he has become more attuned to containing himself. His meditation has led to a great deal of inner peace, and he rarely behaves rudely or impatiently anymore. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Notes for character relations:<br>-Both videos and rumours surrounding Bobby's time as 'Snapdragon' have been scattered around the school the past few years. Tales of a demon-mutant boogeyman who kills drug dealers and burns all witnesses. Everyone will have heard of the Snapdragon, and many have likely seen the videos. <br>-Bobby absolutely hates to be referred to as Snapdragon. He will not become angry, as making him angry is a nearly impossible feat now, but he will become dejected and upset, likely separating himself from others. <br>-Bobby has no current interests, because all he has known is violence, drugs and prison. He has had no time to explore any kind of peaceful side to life. Even on rainy, grim days he can be found laying outside on the grass with a wide smile on his face, just feeling the nature around him and most importantly his freedom. Although he is trapped in the school, he feels incredibly free after being an abused child, then a tool for drug barons and then in solitary confinement. <br>-Although Bobby hates Snapdragon, he does not hate his speed related powers. If anything he feels briefly happy when people are impressed and consider them a 'good' thing.<br><br>Non-Mutant skills:<br>-Street Smart: Bobby is a streetwise person, having grown up in a very grim neighborhood. He can spot signs of trouble or upcoming aggression easily, and is adept at reading people. He also has a number of practical skills such as hot wiring, lock picking, stealing and remaining undetected.<br>-Inner peace: Bobby has meditated for years. He hopes that he is no longer capable of feeling anger, although deep down he knows it is always a possibility. His calm is almost impressive to behold, and he cannot be goaded or pushed into an argument or a state of aggression.<br>-Musically gifted: One of the few non-criminal skills Bobby learned he had an aptitude for and developed while living in a gang was rapping. He is very much an amateur, but he does enjoy it a great deal. (Somewhat a nod to his face claim.)

She has six earrings in her left here, four in the other, a tongue ring, a bellybutton ring, and her nipples are pierced.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong>&nbsp; Abigail very rarely dresses up, preferring to wear jeans and baggy tee-shirts that hide her figure.&nbsp; But once in a while, she'll doll up and when she does that, she prefers to wear long dresses with low cut tops to tease the boys with her breasts.&nbsp; At this point, she doesn't have a training outfit.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Abigail grew up on the streets and has developed a very 'me first' type attitude about her.&nbsp; As a result, she can sometimes come off as selfish and hard to get along with.&nbsp; This isn't helped at all by the fact that she doesn't want to be in the Mansion, but it was either that or prison and she didn't even want to think about what prison would be like for a mutant like her.&nbsp; However, once you're able to get past that, you find someone with a sharp wit and dirty sense of humor that loves to laugh.&nbsp; She also, unfortunately, does have a bit of a short temper, but rarely does she actually hold grudges against people.&nbsp; When it comes to the issues of mutant rights, she's very firm in her belief that mutants should be treated like everyone else and has no issue with getting violent if she feels like she has to in order to prevent being treated like a second class citizen or an animal.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong>&nbsp; Abigail doesn't remember her parents.&nbsp; Her first memories were of the orphanage that she was dropped off at when she was just a baby.&nbsp; The staff were cold and treated the kids as burdens more than as children.&nbsp; And for Abigail, this just wouldn't do.&nbsp; At the age of ten, after years of living in that orphanage and being forced to cook, clean, and tend to the needs of the staff, she ran away and disappeared into the streets.&nbsp; The first few years were a struggle as she begged and stole to survive, sleeping in shelters or in bus stops when it was too cold to sleep on the streets.&nbsp; Time passed quickly and she learned how to survive just as quickly, but being a girl on the streets is never a safe prospect.&nbsp; One night, an older homeless man offered to share his sleeping bag with her.&nbsp; When she refused, knowing that he had bad intentions, the man attacked her and it was during that attack that her powers manifested themselves.<br><br>As he climbed up on top of her, her hair whipped around and wrapped around his throat, choking him.&nbsp; He struggled, but the grip was strong and it wasn't until he was completely unconscious that she released him, having realized that she was in control.&nbsp; Immediately, she ran away and found someplace to hide.&nbsp; Over the next few days, she learned to control her powers, discovering what she could and couldn't do with her hair.&nbsp; And a short time later, she discovered that she could also paralyze a man with her gaze if she tried, bringing to mind the myths of Medusa, which she took as a nickname when talking to the other kids as she didn't want to give them her real name.&nbsp; Her new powers helped her scrape by and she would've likely stayed like this until one day, she saw him and what he'd done when he was being beaten by some of the other kids.<br><br>Shocked by his power, she was curious.&nbsp; And when she learned what hospital he was at, she would go and visit him, claiming to be his girlfriend to avoid any uncomfortable questions about who they were or where they were from.&nbsp; Thus began a strong friendship with Demetrius Bond.&nbsp; And that friendship had formed the basis of a new group of young mutants like them who had bonded together to survive.&nbsp; And during this time, her and Demetrius, or Hijack as everyone had started to call him after the car incident, became closer and closer, eventually becoming lovers.&nbsp; He was her first and she believed that they would never be separated as combined, they were beginning to form a powerful team.&nbsp; They had even started to perform robberies together with him deactivating the electronic security.&nbsp; That was until one day when they had learned the extent of his powers and he used it to get her away from the scene when the cops came and arrested him.<br><br>With him gone, Medusa abandoned the group that they'd created and struck back out on her own.&nbsp; Her intent was to find Hijack and break him out of prison, but when she learned that he'd instead been sent to Xavier's school, she lost all hope of that.&nbsp; And when he didn't come to find her, her sadness turned into anger and bitterness at how easily he'd forgotten all about her.&nbsp; Knowing she needed money, she came up with a new hustle.&nbsp; Acting as a prostitute, she would convince men to take her to a hotel for sex, but once they arrived, she'd use her powers to paralyze them before taking all their cash and leaving them there, to regain control of their bodies hours later and her being long gone.&nbsp; She did this for a couple years, earning enough to make herself a fairly decent living and even get a little apartment where she could finally have a safe place to put her head at night.&nbsp; But she continued to use her hustle to earn money and that would eventually lead to her downfall.<br><br>A side effect of her paralytic powers was that it would leave her victim's memory in a haze so that they couldn't truly identify her.&nbsp; That was until one of them managed to do it and she was captured and brought in.&nbsp; There she learned that the 'john' was a very anti-mutant politician and wanted to see her locked in prison so he could make an example of her.&nbsp; Of course, he was very careful to hide just how they had met, but it wasn't like she could do anything and had resigned herself to being sent to prison.&nbsp; That was until one day, Charles Xavier entered the picture and somehow got her assigned to his school, which she just recently arrived at.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp;

The limitations of her paralysis include the fact that it only works to a range of roughly 15 feet and she has to actively attempt to use it.&nbsp; Her mutation is most reminiscent of Medusa and the gorgons.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong>&nbsp;

Her greatest flaw has to be her temper.&nbsp; It makes her prone to do things simply out of spite without thinking twice about it.&nbsp; This makes her sometimes difficult to get along with as if she's slighted and angered enough, she could end up doing something rash and destructive towards that friendship.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.

For the most part he dresses casually in jeans and plain t-shirts.&nbsp; There are many times however that James will go without a shirt when outdoors. He also has ceremonial garb that he will wear on special occasions. While he might wear regular shoes and boots while out and about, James prefers to wear moccasins at the school.<br><br>James has a tendency to change his hair on a whim. Currently it’s straight and shoulder length.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> When he was a teenager James was a brash and macho young man. However, he was also unusually mature for a teenager. Like his brother John, he was mostly a good man, putting him at odds with the more toxic members of the Brotherhood.<br><br>Also like his brother, he was competitive and felt a need to prove himself as a warrior and a man. However, he lacked John’s depressive tendencies.<br><br>Now though James Proudstar is a rock. He is steady, stable, unwavering in his determination and resolve. He always seems to know where he is going and how to get there. Once having decided on a goal, he lets nothing and no one stand in his way. However he still has that competitive streak that comes out from time to time. <br><br>James believes that Charles Xavier is an honorable man, however he also sees that being too gentle won’t help their cause either. He believes that they need to stand up for themselves. A one time member of the Brotherhood he can understand Magneto’s frustration that he feels from time to time himself. Warpath believes that mutants should come first as no one else will take care of them. However he also believes that the Brotherhood is going too far, as a war would not benefit either side.<br><br>He looks upon the Governments actions with equal parts of anger and sadness. The anger comes from the fact that how many families get ripped apart by the actions of the U.S. Government. The sadness he feels as he watches history repeats itself, only this time its mutants instead of the Native American tribes.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> James Proudstar was born on the Apache reservation in Camp Verde, Arizona. As a young boy he idolized his older brother, John Proudstar, and when John returned from the Marines, James was overjoyed to see him again. Unfortunately, their mother revealed to the family that she had cancer, prompting a visit to the amusement park, where James had his future told to him, by none other than Destiny, though he thought that she was a fraud. Later James secretly followed John when his brother infiltrated Arroyo Labs, the clinic that was running tests on the people of the reservation and treating them for cancer. James was discovered by Dr. Edwin Martynec, who revealed he was a mutant werewolf. The two brothers learned that Dr. Martynec was faking cancer diagnoses, so he could irradiate his patients and observe the results.<br><br>His brother John was soon recruited to join the X-Men, where he was killed on one of the team’s first missions. Just before his brother’s funeral in the Western Dessert, James stole his brother’s body and gave him a traditional Apache Warrior’s funeral rite. He blamed the X-Men for his brother’s death and promised to kill their founder Charles Xavier.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Soon after James manifested his own powers, which were similar to his brothers’. He then joined Magneto’s Brotherhood taking up the codename of Thunderbird in honor of his brother and began to learn his powers while fighting for mutant rights. Later James donned his brother’s old uniform and kidnapped one of the X-Men, to draw the team back to Cheyenne Mountain, where his brother had been killed. Everything was going just as planned, but at the last second, James couldn’t bring himself to kill Xavier. Professor Xavier convinced James that his brother in fact had died a hero’s death, and Thunderbird let them all go calling Xavier an honorable man. However James would learn later that Xavier had figured out what this had all been about earlier. He had the X-Men play along with James’ plan in order to talk and convince James to do things another way. While offered a position in the X-Men, James refused deciding to return home to the reservation.<br><br>Magneto met with James seeing if he would return to the Brotherhood, but he refused as he was enjoying life on the reservation. However when James returned home, he found that his entire tribe had been murdered. That drove him back to the Brotherhood and he took on the new codename of Warpath as he didn’t want to disgrace his brother’s old codename with his actions. Eventually James realized his mistake and broke away from the Brotherhood and truly joined the school. It was here that James learned that he was limiting himself to his brother’s power levels. He could lift weights that his brother couldn’t, his senses were sharper then ever, he was able to run as fast as any car and even climb walls by digging his fingers into the concrete.<br><br>James also learned that he is able to fly, but rarely used it in the beginning as he was embarrassed. Life went on and his powers peaked along with the muscles of his body. Though the surprises wouldn’t stop for him as during a trip to visit the grave of his brother, he was attacked by a demon bear. In facing this bear James is determined to die as a true Apache warrior, but instead reconnects with his tribe and releases the trapped spirits. He now returns to the mansion to continue his fight…<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Superhuman Strength:</strong> Warpath possesses superhuman strength that has fluctuated over the years. When he first joined the Brotherhood as a teenager, James strength was about the same as his brothers, able to lift about 2 tons. He grew in height, muscle mass and strength as he grew older. Currently James has peaked and can lift around 90 tons.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Speed:</strong> Despite his great size, Warpath is able to run and move at speeds much greater than even the finest human athlete. At his peak, James is capable of running at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Stamina:</strong> Warpath’s physical stamina is such that he possesses far greater stamina than any ordinary human and can exert himself at his peak for about 24 hours, before fatigue begins to impair him.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Durability:</strong> His body is harder and more resistant to certain types of injury than an ordinary human. For instance, he can withstand the force generated by great impacts. Warpath can withstand impact forces, such as falling several stories, being hit by certain level energy blasts, and being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human. James can withstand high caliber bullets, exposures to temperature extremes, vastly powerful energy blasts, and great impact forces such as being repeatedly punched by superhumanly strong people without being hurt.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Agility:</strong> Warpath’s agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Reflexes:</strong> Warpath’s reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete. He is even capable of evading gunfire.<br><br><strong>Superhumanly Acute Senses:</strong> Warpath’s senses of hearing and sight are enhanced to capabilities beyond that of an ordinary human. He is able to see, with perfect clarity, at much greater distances than an ordinary human. He retains this clarity, even in near total darkness. His hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to hear sounds that ordinary humans can’t and sounds that they can detect but at much greater distances.<br><br><strong>Flight:</strong> Warpath is able to propel himself through the air without any aid. The exact limit of his flight speed is unknown, but it is less then the speed of sound. James stopped using this for awhile as he was embarrassed by it, but started once again during the fight with the demon bear.<br><br><strong>Apache Shaman Abilities:</strong> These activated while fighting the demon bear. He is capable of seeing creature’s wounds and the resulting spirit energy when it’s destroyed.<br><br><strong>Vibranium Knives:</strong> Warpath wields two large Vibranium Knives, given to him by Magneto. The knives are perfectly weighted so that they are also good for throwing. James has practiced with them extensively since they were given to him, becoming quite skilled in their use.<br><br>He is never without his blades in battle. He has incorporated his knives into his fighting style and they are almost always at hand. Warpath also is skilled in using his blades in non-lethal methods, while using the blades against machines and other weapons.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>No healing:</strong> While difficult to overpower Warpath’s durability, it’s not impossible. When this happens James has no enhanced healing to speak of and will recover at the same rate as any ordinary human with the same type of injury. <br><br><strong>Only Human:</strong> Like wise Warpath is able to be killed, it just takes more effort to pull the deed off. It’s also possible for James to catch certain types of sicknesses like colds or the flu, it would be unknown if being sick has an effect on his powers however.<br><br><br><strong>Vengeful:</strong> James has yet to get over the murder of his entire tribe. While he puts on a brave face, if Warpath found those responsible even Xavier would have problems trying to keep him from killing them.<br><br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Warpath is a formidable combatant, both armed and unarmed. He is also an expert tracker and hunter, even without the aid of his superhuman senses. He is also trained in the use of a bo staff, though he doesn’t use it.<br><br>James is also trained in different fighting styles: His brother John trained him in classic Marine Line training and the modern MCMAP. While in the Brotherhood he trained in Maui Thai and when younger on the reservation he was trained as an Apache Warrior, as well as wrestling.<br><br>

Otherwise he likes to dress relatively normally. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Kurt is a deeply religious person, contrary to what people might suspect from his appearance. He is a, and has been for as long as he can remember, a Catholic. He prays daily, once at morning, once at night. Kurt is a cheeful and kind soul, his brief life in the Brimstone dimension serving as a deterrent to angry thoughts. That being said, Kurt is also a professional, and during his time in the German Federal anti-terror unit GSG9, he showed just how deadly he could be, stopping a terrorist attack by a mix of radical religious non-mutants and their equally radical mutant compatriots. Before the breaching team was in, Kurt had eliminated the group using deadly force. <br><br>Kurt comes from a nation, Germany, where mutants are not as severely limited in their movements and life as in America. In Kurt's homeland mutants are surveiled, and a federal registry of all mutants exist, but is only accessible by authorities and military. This has made Kurt much more appreciative of Governments in general, than would be the case for a lot of other mutants from other parts of the world. As a direct product of the German Mutant Talent Cultivation program, Kurt has benifitted greatly from having the government at his back. Kurt looks up to Charles as a role model and a teacher, having read practically all of Charles' public works, as well as heard every speech he has ever given. While initially convinced that Magneto could be changed, or otherwise convinced that his crusade was not the way forward, Kurt has come to understand that some people are just too broken to ever be fully fixed, and he has on several occasions clashed with Brotherhood operatives in Europe and Asia, most ending in arrests. In regards to his stance on the American government, Kurt is fiercely against the blatant xenophobia that permuates the american political elite, and belives that imprisonment is not that way forward.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Kurt is the son of Mystique and the interdimensional mutant "demon" Azazel. Azazel kidnapped Kurt shortly after his birth, raising him for a time in the Brimstone Dimension, before it became apparent that the toddler Kurt would not survive there. In a rare display of mercy, Azazel returned Kurt to Earth and gave him to a pair, friends of Mystique and Azazel, both of them mutants as well. Kurt was raised in a small town in Bavaria. When Kurt was 14, he was headhunted for a position in a federal German Mutant training program. Kurt excelled surrounded by his fellow mutants, his abilities instantly earning him the nickname Nightcrawler. Kurt went on to join the German federal police, serving with their counter terrorist unit GSG for 3 years, before moving on to work for Interpol as an Agent, primiarly working Mutant-related cases, a job that has taken him from China to Wakanda. He has had covert run-ins with his half-brother Graydon twice, when his brother had been attending anti-mutant gatherings in Europe, though Kurt was disguised both times. <br><br>Kurt has had no direct contact with his mother except for a brief scuffle a few years ago, where Mystique revealed to Kurt that she was his mother. Knowing this, Kurt realized he was the half-brother of one of the most mutant hating people on the planet, a fact that Kurt found amusing. Since allying himself with his Bamf brethren in recent times, Kurt has not seen his father, who has been living a life of Crime in Madripoor.&nbsp; In recent months, Kurt became part of Taskforce: Xcalibur, a taskforce within the Interpol exclusively manned by mutants, with a single human supervisor, it was during his involvement with Xcalibur that Interpol's upper echelon came to Kurt with an assignment, to function as a link between Interpol and the only acting tactical mutant force in America, the X-Men. As such, Kurt has been dispatched to the US as an official Liaison between Interpol and the X-Men, something a lot of politicians in America does not approve of, but nevertheless must accept. Before leaving Lyon, Kurt was briefed on known teachers and students at the Mansion, intel partly provided, and heavily redacted, by the US government, and Interpol's own Merlin Taskforce, a mutant intelligence taskforce comprised of an unknown amount of agents with access to information member countries would perhaps rather not share. Kurt himself sees his assignment as a way to help the mutants of the mansions, especially due to his experience with power control improvement and his general knowledge of mutant training regimes. <br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Teleportation:</strong> Kurt has the ability to teleport at will to anywhere he's been, or any place within 100 meters of him of him, though teleporting to places he cannot see takes a greater toll on him. When teleporting Kurt leaves behind a puff of smoke and a pungent brimstone smell. <br><br><strong>Limited metamorph:</strong> Kurt posses a "human" and "demon" form, that he can switch between at will, though he has none of his other powers in his human form, and he needs to transform into his demon form before being able to use his other powers again <br><br><strong>Bamf beacon:</strong> In recent years, Kurt helped smaller spawn of his father, affectionally called Bamfs. Gain some measure of independence in their dimension. As a thank you to him, the Bamfs have agreed to act as beacons, should he ever need it, and he can at any time call a bamf from the brimstone dimension to his current location, and while they can teleport, that is not their purpose. So long as he is in the same dimension as a bamf, he can instantly and without loss of energy teleport to it. That being said, bamfs dislike being on earth for extended periods and will only remain for 6 hours before leaving, and no more than 4 will come at any one time. The bamf cannot communicate with anyone but Kurt<br><br><strong>Subconscious Spatial Awareness:</strong> Nightcrawler has a very limited subconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting himself so that any part of his body materialized inside a wall, the floor or anything else that would cause him harm. <br><br><strong>Micro-Suction Discs:</strong> Nightcrawler can stick to objects with the surface of his hands and feet. This enables him to scale surfaces.<br><br><strong>Master Combatant:</strong> He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a master at fencing, which he can even perform with his tail, which is strong enough to support his entire body weight.<br><br><strong>Flexible Bone Structure:</strong> Nightcrawler's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist type feats without causing any damage to his spine. Nightcrawler is an Olympic-class acrobat thanks to his flexible spine that allows him to perform contortionist-like feats and to go long periods in a semi-crouching position without injury.<br><br><strong>Camouflage:</strong> He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his indigo fur and his connection to the light-bending attributes of the dimension through which he teleports. This is also the explanation for why he constantly appears in shadow, even in direct light.<br><br><strong>Prehensile Tail:</strong> allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground. It is deft enough to fight with like a sword or blunt object.<br><br><strong>Night Vision:</strong> Nightcrawler's always glowing eyes grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision as well.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Agility:</strong> Nightcrawler's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits.<br><br><strong>Superhuman Reflexes:</strong> Nightcrawler's natural reaction time is enhanced to a level beyond the human body's natural limits.<br><br><strong>Anti-metal foil:</strong> Nightcrawler owns, but does not use, a single anti-metal foil, made from a variant of Vibranium. The foil was gifted to him by the people of Wakanda, after he and his team stopped a mutant trafficing ring that had been kidnapping mutant children from Wakanda for years. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Teleportation fatique:</strong> The greater distance he has to travel in regards to places he's been wears him out quickly, and when teleporting across the atlantic, he will instantly be knocked out cold from the strain, his body going into a state of hibernation <br><br><strong>Form over function:</strong> Nightcrawler can ONLY use his demonic powers as well as those relating to his demon form, when in that form, and not his human one.<br><br><strong>Social anxiety:</strong> Kurt will almost NEVER be around others in his demon form if he can help it, as he feels social anxiety about his appeance when blue and furry. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.

When fighting, she typically wears something that reveals at least her cleavage.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Cam is a social butterfly who loves spending time with people; She tends to dislike being alone. She enjoys drinking and partying and dislikes pushy men and seeing others kissing. <br><br>Cam doesn't necessarily agree with Charles's approach and believes that it's too gentle and seems a bit weak. She definitely does not approve of the US Government imprisoning mutants. She believes that all mutants have the right to live their lives as they wish rather than be forced to remain under surveillance or behind lock and key. The Brotherhood's ideology is something she understands, but does not fully agree with. She feels anger against humans for taking her life away, but she also understands that not every human is to blame.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Before Cam arrived at the school, she was a model. While she hadn't become famous, she was definitely getting there. Unfortunately, the more deadly of her mutant abilities was discovered after a photoshoot when the photographer forced himself on her. He didn't get far, though. He forced his tongue nearly down her throat and suffered dearly for it. He survived to inform the cops that she wasn't human... though he had to write it on paper from his hospital bed.<br><br>Up until the incident, Cam lived a mostly normal life. She was adopted as a baby by Alexander and Benjamin Tuft. They were loving, supportive fathers and had no problem giving her as much space as she needed. They also had interest in her modelling career and did anything and everything they could to help her follow her dreams. And although Cam never came home with a boy, they never questioned her as to why. They had a trusting relationship and shared everything with one another... or so they thought.<br><br>Cam had her first kiss when she was nine years old with a sweet boy named Matthew. They had a cute little relationship for two years, until he moved away. He was her first and her last. She was heartbroken when he left and didn't want to find another boyfriend for a while. By the time she had recovered, it was too late. It was a good thing, though. She was glad that she wasn't dating anyone when her powers revealed themselves.<br><br>Cam never told anyone about her mutant abilities and never sought out any mutant groups to make friends with those of her own kind. She did everything she could to make sure no one ever found out. She didn't kiss anyone or share food or drinks with anyone; she made excuses about being a germophobe so people wouldn't question it. She never intentionally caused harm to anyone and maintained human friendships without anyone questioning whether she was human or not. Because of this ability to live amongst humans, she never quite understood why humans would hate or fear mutants. After being apprehended, she did become angry since it wasn't her fault... It was a human's fault.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <br><br>Toxic Spit: Cam's saliva contains Sanguarine, a dangerous toxin and escharotic substance. Her saliva causes living tissue to die by causing the cells to begin to kill themselves. If someone were to get some on their skin, it would leave behind a massive black scab of dead flesh.<br><br>Charm: Cam's pores release pheromones that induce attraction towards her. This power can help her trick her enemies into coming closer or simply assist her in making friends more easily. Those who are being charmed will feel pleasure and may be put into a state of high suggestibility. She cannot control someone's mind, only influence them with suggestions. Anyone who is strong-willed can resist. Those who are not attracted to females also have an easier time resisting. This power is mostly used as a defense in convincing someone to not harm her, but can also be used to seduce someone into being subserviant to her as they become charmed by her beauty. When she's not targeting anyone in particular, she can affect everyone in her immediate vicinity (approximately 15 ft radius from her) when there's no wind. If the wind is against her, those in front of her would not be affected. When she focuses on a specific target, she can reach up to 50 ft without wind. <br><br>Regeneration: Cam can use plants to heal her own wounds. She covers the affected area with living plants, which slowly die to heal her. This allows her to heal more quickly and without leaving scars. She can't heal extremely quickly like Wolverine, but she does heal faster than normal humans would. The process can take anywhere from few minutes to a few hours, depending on the severity. She has to ability to regrow limbs that have been cut off as long as she can remain focused through the pain. For this, she would have to kill a lot of plants - approximately 100 square feet of forest. It would leave behind a large black patch of forest that would need to be completely cleared out down to the roots before anything could grow again. <br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> None<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong><br><br>Temperature Vulnerability: Cam cannot handle extreme temperatures. When below 45 degrees, she is prone to frostbite and hypothermia. When above 85 degrees, she prone to heat stroke and dehydration. So while others could go out and enjoy the beach on a hot day, she would most likely be indoors in AC. And while 45 degrees isn't enough to snow, she would be bundled up head to toe like it's 10 degrees out.<br>Below 35 degrees: frostbite and hypothermia (increases in severity with amount of time and lower temperatures)<br>35-44 degrees: shivering uncontrollably, loss of coordination<br>45-85 degrees: comfortable temperature<br>86-95 degrees: sweating profusely, dehydration begins<br>Above 95 degrees: Heat stroke<br><br>Organic-based: Anyone who is made of or shielded by inorganic matter cannot be harmed by her toxic saliva. In addition, anyone who is not made of organic matter cannot be affected by her pheromones.<br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong><br><br>Tease: Cam his a beautiful young woman with a flirtatious personality, but she never puts out. Her beauty seems to draw people to her only for her to shrug off their advances. She had decided to never get serious with anyone and has done just that for years now, so denying anyone's advances has become second-nature to her, causing her to seem like a bitch at times.<br><br>Platonic Dependence: Cam hates being alone. She has always had a lot of friends growing up and always had an active relationship with her parents. She feels more at ease surrounded by people and begins to feel anxiety and loneliness when no one is around. She is incapable of even studying alone and requires someone there to study with her, but mostly seeks out study groups. She attaches herself to friends very quickly and feels hurt when they don't want to spend time with her and betrayed if they are spending more time with their boyfriend/girlfriend instead of her. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>N/A

When he uses his powers, his body and clothing become as black as empty space, as he uses up the ambient light in his body.<br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Robert is a handsome young man, graced by his father's good genes and an active, athletic lifestyle. He hates being called "Fabio" but it's a name people have joking used for him more than once--naturally tan skin, dark hair, and a defined build perfect for sweeping someone off of their feet and riding off into the sunset on a white stallion. <br><br>Despite coming from money, he dresses simple and casual. T-shirts, jeans, comfortable shoes and boots, he doesn't like to show off the money his family has, instead preferring to fit in as best he can.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who The Are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Roberto is, for the most part...Normal. Raised by a wealthy family, in a good environment, with loving parents, why would he not be? He's polite and kind to all he meets, or tries to be anyway. There are no serious mental traumas hiding under his psyche that torture or drive him. He has no deep, dark, painful secrets that make him distant from the ones he loves most. He's just a guy, if a bit jock-ish at times. A normal young man that dreams to be more than he is, to make a difference, and find some kind of happiness in life, and a world that seems intent on keeping him and others like him down. He can be hotheaded at times, rash and brash, but he tries to be a good guy in essence, aspiring to be a model member of the X-Men and a leading example for mutants.<br><br>He's also, however, well aware of how attractive he is, and has no problem flirting with the ladies. He's not prone to attachment, more susceptible to quick flings with ladies that catch his eye. But he always remembers their names, likes, habits, and what they tell him. If the right girl shows up, he could settle down...But until she does, he likes having his fun. Some of this relates back to the pains he still feels from the death of his first love, Juliana, and he's not been able to put himself that open with someone again, yet he tries to treat every woman properly, and deserving of enjoying life.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Roberto da Costa is the son of Brazilian millionaire Emmanuel da Costa and his American wife Nina, an archaeologist. Roberto first manifested his superhuman mutant powers when, at the age of fourteen, he was playing in a championship soccer match for his school team in Rio de Janeiro. Motivated by racial hatred, a boy named Keller and another member of the opposing team knocked da Costa to the ground. The hot-tempered da Costa retaliated by tackling Keller, who began brutally beating Roberto. It was then that, without being aware of what was happening to him, da Costa first manifested his superhuman strength. His body and clothing temporarily turned black in the process, and he inadvertently hurled Keller away from him. Confused and frightened, da Costa sought help, but both the other players and most of the spectators panicked and fled. His parents were quick to rush to his aid, though, in a time where the world was quick to demonize mutant-kind. His girlfriend at the time, Juliana Sandoval, was probably the biggest help for the young boy in such a trying time.<br><br>Roberto's powers attracted the attention of anti-mutant extremists in Brazil, who tried to attack and kill the young boy, despite the power and influence his father had. Money could only buy security for so long, however--that was when three guests showed up at the de Costa family compound. Dr. Moira MacTaggert, her young adopted daughter Rahne, and another representative for Professor Charles Xavier, who offered to help the young Robert. The extremists had kidnapped his girlfriend, however, and Roberto only agreed to go with them if they would help him rescue her. <br><br>Negotiations began, but quickly turned south, as the extremists tried to kill Roberto and the other mutants. Roberto's life was saved only by Juliana jumped in front of him, taking a bullet for him. Moira would help his father find the extremist leader who was behind everything, and see that the man faced justice for the crime--sad as it was, the legal system was motivated much more by the death of a young human girl, than the violent and horrific attacks the extremists had committed against mutants. Before he could bring any further harm to his family, Roberto left Brazil with Moira, and went to America to begin study at Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning.<br><br>He befriended the shy Rahne in their travels, as she provided some solace to him as he mourned Juliana's death, offering him what guidance she could from Scripture and faith. He was sad she didn't remain in America with him, and the two became penpals of sorts while she still lived in Scotland with her adoptive mother.<br><br>Agreeing to stay at the school, he focused on his studies and training on how to control his powers, and would soon join the X-Men team. His father, meanwhile, become a prominent international pro-mutant advocate, using his resouces as the CEO of DaCosta International to help push for and promote mutant rights. It's been the support from his parents that has kept Robert, as he slightly changed his name in America just to avoid causing blowback on his parents, even-tempered about the growing tensions in the country.<br><br>While he can't support all of what the government does, he knows enough of politics from his father to know most politicians have been given little choice. Recognizing that there are people in the White House and Congress that want to help mutants, he tries to give them the benefit of the doubt, even as over the years tensions and laws have become more and more painful. The Brotherhood, however, he views as little better than the same extremists that killed Juliana, simple acting on the opposite side of the coin, and holds little concern or patience for their arguments--to him they only make things worse for all of mutant-kind.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Solar Radiation Absorption</strong> - He can absorb solar energy and can utilize it for a variety of feats. Sunspot can store solar-derived energy in his cells through the same, or a similar, method as how normal humans gain energy from food and release it when necessary to enhance himself. His body is cloaked in darkness because he drains all the ambient light from his skin.</li><li><strong>Solar Re-Channeling</strong> - The process in which he converts absorbed solar energy and uses it in various ways, including:<ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Flight</strong> - He possess the ability to fly by propelling himself through the air, by force of will, by generating thermal updrafts. Bobby has also refined this ability to be able to hover in the air without leaving a heat trail, and can reach speeds of up to 150 mph maximum without over exerting himself.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Strength</strong> - When Sunspots cells are powered by solar energy he can augment his physical strength. Through training, he can currently push himself to be able to lift up to thirty tons of weight.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Durability</strong> - When burning energy, he is not extra durable or invulnerable. While over times he's seen his resilience increase slightly, for the most part he is only as durable as needed to safely use his enhanced strength without tearing his body apart--he can't deflect bullets or handle sustained beatings.</li><li><strong>Thermokinesis</strong> - He can project heat in intense waves as he absorbs and re-channels solar energy. Typically this means his body runs a bit warmer than usual for a human. He can also absorb ambient heat from the environment into his body to lower the temperature (he can't effect a space larger than a typical classroom) or expend heat to raise temperatures. He can also project or absorb heat from people, hearing or chilling them--an ability he does not use often, due to the dangers of messing with someone's body temperature. This also requires physical contact. He can put out fires simply by walking into the burning building and absorbing all the heat energy.</li><li><strong>Thermokinetic Concussive/Energy Blasts</strong> - He can focus excess energy and heat in his body out as potent fire blasts. They produce more bang than damage, however, and are more similar to military grade concussive and flashbang grenades--or stronger, if he pushes himself.</li><li><strong>Dark Solar Plasma Blasts</strong> - Sunspot can project dark plasma energy blasts from his hands, with a force behind them equal to half of his physical strength on average. His most powerful blast had twenty tons of force behind it, and left him unconscious for an hour from the blowback.</li><li><strong>Self-Sustenance</strong> - Perhaps because his body converts solar radiation into energy in a process similar to (if infinitely more efficient than) the normal process for food, he can provide nourishment for himself and go without food or drink for days. His body is also extremely efficient and produces no waste. In his solar form, he can also rapidly heal from injury, at the cost of burning through his energy stores that much faster.</li><li><strong>Fire and Heat Immunity</strong> - Sunspot is immune to all forms of hear and fire, as they simply add to his abilities as his mutant biology converts the energy into such for his own use. This includes heat from other mutant abilities, explosions from human weaponry, fire, and even weather conditions.</li></ul></li></ul><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Solar Suit</strong> - He calls it that, but it's basically a customized uniform that doesn't burn off when he activates his powers. It's also resistant to most small arms fire.</li></ul><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>If not in direct contact with sunlight (aka, at night or in enclosed spaces) he can burn through his energy stores quickly. How fast he burns through his stores depends on how excessive he uses his powers--using energy blasts will deplete him much faster than simple enhancing his strength and flying around. In high stress/high combat situations, he can last for an hour to two hours before losing his abilities.</li><li>He isn't super durable--he can be shot and killed, beaten, or stabbed just as easily as most people can. This is somewhat less dire in his solar form, but devastating blows while he's powered down can drop him before he can do a thing about it.</li></ul> <br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>At times he can lose his temper, almost unduly. He works to keep a calm head, but some things just set him off--racist stereotypes (more so from being South American than being a mutant), being mocked, or insulting his family or honor.</li><li>He has little patience for people he sees as just being stupid for no reason. This includes most Brotherhood actions, some government actions, and the actions of most of the human populace.

Having spent most of her days in covert operations, she has learned how to deal with some rather shady characters. She has little to no patience for drama or nonsense. She also tends to be awkward in social situations. The drugs she had been given as a child made it difficult for her to really learn how to form bonds with someone that wasn't a target.<br><br>History has left Domino with the need to always be looking over her shoulder. This doesn't mean she spends her days looking behind her. Government training has left her very aware of her surroundings. It borders on paranoia, but the paranoid are often the ones that live the longest.<br><br>-Charles's pacifist and gentle approach to the Brotherhoods rampant violence. <br><em>it won't work. There is only one thing that will stop the brotherhood, and that's killing them</em><br>-The U.S government rounding up and tagging or imprisoning mutants. <br><em>They need to be stopped by any means necessary.</em><br>-The Brotherhoods 'mutants first' ideology and terrorism.&nbsp; <em>If they want to get people,on their side, they are going about it wrong. If they are planning global domination, it's been historically proven to fail. Either way, it's stupid.</em><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> contrary to popular belief, the "Weapon-X" program was not the only government-funded weapons program. Another project had been started up, code-named "Armageddon". This program was designed to genetically create the perfect weapon, based off of a precognitive mutant, codenamed "Beatrice". Out of twelve experiments, only two survived...Domino was one of them.<br><br>Beatrice attempted to break free from government control, and was quickly put down for her efforts. The two remaining mutants that were based off of Beatrice's genetic coding never met her. Both grew up under government control, their minds heavily controlled with drugs. These drugs did not stop them from learning basic skills...schooling was as important as the training provided by the CIA. And it allowed the two to grow until their mutant powers developed.<br><br>Neena hit her powers at age 10, and quickly learned to hone them. However, being brought up by humans, she never truly learned the full extent of her skills. What powers she did learn, she was able to put to good use. Combining with her special-ops training, Domino learned to adapt, having learned 5 languages by the age 13...English, Russian, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin.<br><br>By the time Domino had reached the age of 15, she had a kill-count of 55. It was around this time that the government program was disbanded. Too much money, and the increasing threat of mutants like "The Brotherhood" made the risk too great to continue. Not willing to let a high-powered weapon loose on the street, an assassination contract was put out on the remaining two mutants from Project Armageddon...given to each other.<br><br>The overseers of Project Armageddon thought they were killing two birds with one stone. They weren't. By sheer luck, Domino was able to get the drop on her target, and eliminate him before he was able to kill her. She spent the next two years in hiding, using the skills taught to her to stay off the radar. It was a time of great stress for Domino. <br><br>At age 17, she was finally apprehended, caught scamming rich tourists in Key West. Identified as a high-value target, and a mutant to boot, police officials decided to inject her with a memory-loss drug. This drug knocked her out, making her forget her time in Project Armageddon's training camp. Domino would spend the next year in Rikers. Unknown to her, that year in Rikers someone was petitioning for her to get out...the staff of Xavier's Institute for Gifted Students. After a year of staying in a cell for 23 hours a day, Domino is now out, and has come to her new home with the express understanding that she is not to leave the grounds.<br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Gamma<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> "Luck and Probability". Domino is a mutant with the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." This phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. <br> This unconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory - in order for the luck to take effect, Domino herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect. <br>For example, if debris falling from the sky was about to hit her in the head, she would still be hurt if she stood still. However, if she tried to avoid them, she would move perfectly to avoid each and every piece about to hit her. In addition if Domino were to stand before a hail of bullets she would be a bullet-ridden corpse. Instead, she must take action, attempting to avoid the gunfire and will miraculously bob and weave just perfectly to avoid every single shot. As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bio-electric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.<br>Although Domino cannot consciously control her ability, she can activate it by putting herself in a position in which she could be harmed. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> Domino has been trained on several firearms, as well as quite a few non-lethal weapons. None of these she owns, as they were taken away upon her incarceration.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> Domino cannot control her powers. If she does not do something to activate her power, she is as vulnerable to normal attacks as any human.<br><br><strong>Memory Loss:</strong> Despite the fact that the drug given to her at capture made her forget her time in training, she still has dreams of it. It comes in flashes, small nuggets of information, telling her of her past. <br><br><strong>PTSD:</strong> After so many kills, Domino is starting to come to terms with the fact that she has ended so many lives. There will be nights where she doesn't sleep, and nights that she will wake up drenched in sweat from vivid nightmares as she relives every last one.<br><br><strong>Socially Awkward:</strong>&nbsp; Domino spent almost her entire life analyzing every situation she entered. She is only now learning not to approach everything as a job.<br><br><strong>Mild Paranoia:</strong> After a lifetime of scanning over everything, Domino has difficulty not seeing things in the shadows, or thinking there can be Danger around any corner.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Character relations TBD<br>

It is not something she bothers hiding with contacts or even shades. In addition, the bright green streaks within her hair also tend to garner attention. Her ears are pierced, adorned with multiple studs, while she has a septum piercing (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b5/11/dc/b511dc16a1b07674385244dfd2c7de24.jpg) in her nose. <br><br><strong>General Appearance:</strong>&nbsp; Danny tends to be a jeans and t-shirt type of girl. She does not really have much patience for make-up, content with a simple application of lipstick, dark eyeliner, and eye shadow. Her style is more grunge than anything else. There are times when she will throw on a pair of shorts but dresses are pretty much avoided. Sandals are definitely a no-go. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Being the child of a radical is not fun. Although Danny has not seen her father in nearly a decade, she still finds herself lumped into the same category as him by those who seek to see him destroyed. While Magneto is an unreachable target for anger, his daughter is within arm’s reach. Her first few years at Xavier’s sanctuary for mutants was shaped by sharp words and even harder fists as people sought to prove she was no better than her father, a ticking time-bomb waiting to betray them. It is only her desire to be different and not prove them correct that prevents her from acting out. <br><br>However, after a while, she realized not doing <em>anything</em> only made her persecutors bolder. They were never satisfied with her pain, always hungry for more torments. She only retaliates now when given no other choice. Even then, she does not go out of her way to injure her peers...no matter how tempting. If someone is truly hurt, it is an accident if the damage was caused by her own hand. Luckily, being the recipient of people's fists has pretty much come to an end due to Charles and other staff members' intervention. They can't force people to like her though and she wouldn't want them to do it anyways. <br><br>Danny tends to shy away from the spotlight. Direct attention makes her antsy and turns her into a stuttering mess. Intentionally, she barely passes some of her classes while doing about average in her favorite courses. You'll never find her volunteering for projects or raising her hand to answer the professor's questions. <br><br>Grades don't mean much to her as long as she is still improving. Most of her training takes place in private, away from prying eyes. She's content merely to learn rather than earn a high score or be considered one of the smartest students in the university. Despite her off-putting appearances, she has a friendly disposition and loyal heart. She can be sympathetic to others' problems and willing to lead a non-judgmental ear. <br><br>-Charles Xavier: Danny's relationship with Professor X is complicated. She feels a tremendous amount of guilt for what happened to him even though there was little she could do about it at the time. As a result, she's become distant towards him, not seeking out his company. The change is completely different from how she behaved towards him as a child. Always eager to hear his stories about the Eden awaiting mutants if they were patient enough to form it. She isn't rude to him though just not really spending much time around him.<br><br>-The U.S. Government is the enemy. Danny does not believe mutants will ever be accepted by them. The government only wants to use them as war machines. She also has a tremendous amount of fear towards them due to nearly being captured as a child and their being responsible partially for the death of her mother.&nbsp; <br><br>-Danny has mixed thoughts about the Brotherhood. While many others have the luxury of viewing them as incapable of any emotion other than hatred, she has seen them being well regular. This often times puts her at odds with how the media and even how her fellow peers portray them. She understands they are not saints but who is these days? Unfortunately, this is not where her feelings of conflict end. She wants to hate Erik for abandoning her. However, a small part of her still wants to be worthy of him. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> One night of comfort and drunken passion eventually lead to Danika’s birth. Anita, her mother, was charged with caring for her elderly mother; money earned from her job as a waitress was not enough to cover the building health and utilities bills. Pleasure was not all she received that fateful night. A few months later, she discovered herself pregnant with a stranger’s child, one who had long since left her small town. Being from a deeply religious family along with not enough money prevented her from pursuing an abortion for her unwanted child. <br><br>Danika’s life was nothing extraordinary for the first few years as her powers remained dormant. However, the death of her grandmother shook the already unstable foundation of her childhood. Anita fell into a downward spiral of depression and grief. Her mother spent more time asleep rather than awake, leading to the loss of their sole method of income. Somehow, Anita became involved with one of the local thugs. It was not long before her mother became addicted to both her supplier and the drug he kept injected in her veins. Danika was pretty much left to her own devices, forgotten and often times neglected by the adults around her. <br><br>Regardless, Danika remained attached to her mother, constantly seeking her attention. It was this devotion which lead to the first explosion of her abilities. Mykhail was drunk and in a fool mood. Her mother did something trivial but it was enough to inflame his temper. He beat her and continued to do so even after she curled into a ball. Danika killed him.&nbsp; <br><br>Anita packed a small bag and ran with Danika, hoping to find some form of sanctuary for both of them. The police pursued the fleeing pair in addition to Mykhail’s comrades. No such place could be found as there was not enough time nor could she move quickly with a child in her arms, drugs in her veins. Danny was hidden away while her mother sought to pull the men’s attention away from where her daughter was concealed. It was her intention to come back but that was the last time mother and daughter saw each other. <br><br>Somehow, Danny was not discovered. She was there for days before Charles and Erik found found her. It was the first time she’d ever been with so many members of her kind. Life was perfect. It was the first warning sign. Her world was shattered yet another time. Her father betrayed Charles, someone she considered family. An uncle. Danny only remained a few months at her father’s side before she was separated from him. It was not long before she found herself captured by Xavier’s X-men. Rather than punish her, she was offered a chance. <br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> <br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <br><br><em>Magnetic Force-Fields:</em> Polaris can protect herself from physical harm, can stretch her fields to protect a large group (about three to four people; more if she pushes herself), and can suspend persons or objects in the air.

She hates violence, as she was raised by good parents who love her so much. That’s also the reason why she likes to be spoiled, and acts like a child, even though she can also became a proper adult when she wants. The childish personality is still stronger inside her. She likes to encourage others by playing music for them. She believes that everyone has a light side inside them, even the devil itself. That’s why she thinks that Charles’ pacifist and gentle approach is a wise move, since ‘The Brotherhood’ could be enlightened one day.<br><br>Looking at the government rounding up and imprisoning mutants, she is totally against that, because she thinks everyone has a same right to live, even before she realized that she had a power, she was doing a street performances around America to promote the peace of humanity and mutantkind.<br><br>Hana can totally understand the frustration of the brotherhood, but violence is not the only way to make a point, it just makes thing worse, and she wants them to come back to their senses and use more peaceful methods. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Hana was born in Tokyo, both of her parents were a notable musician. Their passion for music was passed down to Hana. She was called a prodigy because she could easily master any kind of musical instrument given to her in a matter of days. <br><br>Everything seemed perfect for her, good and nice parents, a bright career in music, a seemingly infinite talent. <br><br>But one day, her father asked her to leave the country and move to America, he said it to deepen her knowledge of music. But, actually, her father was caught in trouble with an influential Yakuza in Japan. When she already in America, she received news that her family was killed by a mysterious gang. In response, she started planning to go back to Japan, but then she received her father’s last will, “To stop the chain of violence. To spread the way of peace with her music. Don’t come back to Japan” and he also told her that she was always special, more than gifted. Since then, she’s been doing street performances around America to promote peace.<br><br>Hana doesn’t know when her mutation activated, but one day, she suddenly realized that she had a power. It was during one of her street performances, when she saw one of the Yakuza lackeys. She could always spot one. He had been on vacation, and he was drawn to her music for many reasons. It was pure coincidence. her mind filled with a rage for a moment and at that exact moment, the crowd around her became violent. They started attacking that Yakuza lackey, almost beating him to death. Afraid that she might make the same mistake again, she went to Xavier’s school to learn more about power, because she didn’t know where else she can go.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong>&nbsp; Delta <br><br><strong>Music Augmentation:</strong>&nbsp; Hana can power up the abilities of the others' using music/song so that they can have a better control of their power, or break a little over the limit of the power if they already mastered their power. Like, she can double the strength of a normal human, mutants get less effect and the higher class a mutant is the less effect she has on their abilities. This ability only affects the person as long as they can hear her music and the effect lasts for 7 seconds after they hear the music. It would last for as long as she’s playing. Hana can also use her singing voice to do this, but she rarely does so, because she thinks it more complicated and harder to control. When a person is affected by this, they will also be affected by the Musical Empathic Projection (see below), thus giving them a random emotion.<br><br><strong>Musical Empathic projection:</strong> Hana is capable of projecting a desired emotions onto others by playing music. She can calm, enrage or sadden others by making them hears her music in addition to other emotions.<br><br><strong>Enhanced Musicianship: </strong> Hana can easily play any instrument , even the instrument that she never touched before. But the more complicated the instrument, it will take more time to master, she needs up to 12 hours to master an instrument. She can also sing perfectly.<br><br><strong>Sound amplification: </strong> Hana can amplify the sound of her own instrument play or singing voice, it will retain the power, but the further the target is, the weaker the effect will be.<br><br><strong>Violin:</strong> It is carried in a case everywhere.

Even though she can use almost anything to create music, the effect is strongest with her violin.<br><br><strong>Needs a lot of concentration: </strong>Since she still can’t really control her own power, she needs a huge amount of concentration to induce her desired emotion to the target. If she’s not concentrating, the power will still affect everyone around her, but it’s dependant on each person.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She also needs a lot of concentration to target a specific groups, or a specific person. </li><li>But, basically her powers affect everyone who can hear her music.</li></ul><br><strong>Basically Human:</strong> Hana is just a normal human, her power didn’t give her a superstrength, or superagility, so she has the strength and endurance of a normal human.<br><br><strong>Pacifist:</strong> Hana believes in the “way of peace”. She thinks that not everything can be solved with a violence. She won’t use violence even against her enemy, but she can tolerate supporting a battle as long as it’s to stop more violence and won’t kill the enemy.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She still doesn't have superhero name.</li></ul>

Both of them are identical, but it’s as easy as taking on or taking off a ring for her.<br><br>Bridgett is long and thin. Her breasts are very small, and her hips are narrow. She does have a womanly shape, she just appears to be stretched out. She looks as if she weighs about 120 lbs. She towers over most other women, and she often wears heels, making the effect even more dramatic. Her muscle structure is weak, especially in her arms. She dresses in professional clothing most of the time, and tries to be modest over being her natural self, an incredibly sexual woman.<br><hr><hr><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Bridgett likes to stay quiet when she’s not teaching. She enjoys watching people behave, it still appears odd to her, normal behavior. Bridgett's first real friends were here at this school. And, they came along slowly. She had been amiable to other children before her powers had kicked in. But, she had never liked them, and her parents heard a lot of complaining about her classmates that only grew darker and more disturbing as she aged (see history). Her power gave her a bit of a mean streak, and controlling her became almost impossible. Her old personality was straight out of a horror movie, and keeping it at bay had taken most of her focus. For her first two years at the school, she stayed in her room most of the time, trying to control herself. <br><br>Now, Bridgett does her best to keep things comfortable for those around her. Despite these efforts, she sees a 'black lining' around everything. People's intentions are always shaded on the selfish side to her. She doesn't trust easily, and death is always on the tip of her tongue. She's good at timing absurd jokes. And Over the last few years she’s become very amiable and understanding. She’s matured a lot, and her abilities with understanding and using emotions to help others has become a passion for her.She supports people's dreams, but she also wants to make fun of them if they fail. She’s never done this to a student though.<br><br>She's often snacking on something salty. Bridgett is a salt fiend, and she has a bit of an oral fixation.

Bridgette has no real fighting capability at all. She’s a politician if anything, but an educator first. She has come to think that helping people control their powers is a noble cause, and helping humankind understand mutantkind is even more noble.<br><br>She is fully against the government’s current behavior, and finds it to be incredibly oppressive.<br><br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> <br>Warning-Dark, you have been warned.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Deep Past</div><div class="spoiler_body">Bridgett came out of the womb with black skin. The doctors were confused, but they could tell that it was from bruising, after a week or so, the infants body turned peach, healed up, and she was a normal child, mostly. Other things started to become obvious quickly. When she was three and a half years old, she'd still only weighed eleven pounds. Her parents took her to the doctors often, and everyone seemed stumped. ‘She's healthy, she's never been hurt, she's been sick, and yeah, her internal clock seems to be on hyperdrive.’ Bridgett took 110 breaths a minute, almost four times the norm, and her heart beat was at 178 bpms. But her circulation was fine, she was getting plenty of oxygen into her bloodstream, she never seemed to be panicked, and she was learning at a normal rate. <br><br>She was still diagnosed with a mild case of Autism at the age of eight when she couldn't get along with anyone her own age, and she was starting to have problems with her parents. The doctors, and her parents had no idea what to do with death obsession. She was starting to draw, and write about it. And, her parents would catch her looking at horrific things on the internet. She never seemed depressed though, privacy was favored, and she often laughed to herself. Her parents never reported her having an imaginary friend, but she would often refer to herself as 'her'. No one seemed to notice too much, one psychiatrist considered that she might have been showing early signs of dissociative identity disorder, unable to commit to the idea of being alive in her own body, or unable to find an identity at all, always just seeing herself as something that is alive, not actually a person.<br><br>Bridgett's home was always the same, a three story mansion with a lake house and a barn. An eleven acre field that grew grain and grapes, and two large forests to the north and south. The northern woods led to the lakehouse, and the southern woods were sprouted from a large creek that eventually fed into a river. <br><br>Bridgett grew up. She enjoyed her hobbies, she still didn't enjoy other children. She was ignored by the other children at her private school.<br><br>In her early adolescence, Bridgett was on the right track, she was learning rapidly, her doctors were taking her off of medications. Bridgett was fourteen when she started to consider things that regular girls considered, she asked her mom if she would ever think about helping her dye her hair black. Naturally, her mother didn't like the idea of black hair, but it was good to hear the word dye come out of her daughter's mouth, instead of 'die'. <br><br>Bridgett never achieved a world class level, but she started to win regional tournaments for her age group in tennis. She was only 44 lbs at the age of fourteen, and gymnastics were appealing to her at that time as well. It was almost fun to be as light as a feather. She knew by that time that her bones were flexible, but no one else did. Boys could lift her above their heads as if they were moving a mattress. It was fun. Bridgett was enjoying herself, but the odds were stacked up against her.<br><br>Her friends were starting to envy her, or despise her for being rude, or too pretty, or weird, or just freaky in general. She was starting to develop a superiority complex. She gone from strange and dark to gorgeous and intimidating quickly. Everyone was growing tired of her. It was when they found out that she couldn't be broken. She was climbing a fence, and she fell, and everyone saw her leg bend the wrong way, and everyone saw her cringe in pain, and everyone saw her shake it out. She stood up and started along like nothing had gone wrong. <br><br>There was something wrong. The kids were not okay with what had just happened. She had officially become a freak, it was instant. Before she was an anomaly, but in that moment, she became a freak. And, they beat her, three girls she considered to be her best friends turned on her instantly and tested her body’s limits. The event ended in a coma. Bridgett was almost fifteen years old. The kids escaped, her friends, and the groundskeeper of the facility that they played tennis at had found her. She didn’t remember anything, and it had looked a lot like attempted suicide.<br></div></div><br>Bridgette was in a powerful coma when she turned fifteen years old. And, she was not progressing. It was on the sixth week, and the third day, two weeks after Bridgett had turned fifteen. Birthday balloons were still in the room, but her family had vacated. A nurse had been in the hall, two doctors were present, and one surgeon, but he was asleep in the break room of the hospital. Bridgett was no longer in the ICU, she had stabilized, and she was either going to wake up one day or die.<br><br>They hadn't figured that both would happen at the same time. Bridgett flat-lined, her brainwaves stopped, her body started to twitch. The nurse ran into the room, and shouted for a doctor. The nurse checked the young girl's wires and tubes, everything was fine, her bag was still inserted, and her iv was dripping. The nurse turned around when she heard a footstep. It wasn't the doctor. It was a copy...a Beta version of the girl in the bed. It was Her, It was Bridgett, as far as the nurse was concerned. The doctor then rushed into the room to find the girl standing in the middle of the room, while simultaneously laying down on the hospital bed plugged into machines. <br><br>The cameras in the hospital room recorded the following events, but the doctor and the nurse were never able to explain it completely. The doctor started to escort Beta out of the room, but the Nurse made it clear to him that this 'person' had appeared from nowhere. The camera did in fact record that Beta had appeared from nowhere. Had it been a better camera, it would have seen a puff of smoke as well. The three of them appeared to converse for a moment. And Beta took command of the room, she seemed to be explaining something to the two medical professionals. Beta than reached down and touches Bridgett's exposed foot. Then, a flash hits the camera, and static takes over the screan for a half of a second. At that point, Bridgett's vital signs return, Beta disappeared from the room, the nurse rushed over to the monitors, and the doctor looked around the room in confusion. He then looked down at Bridgett as the young girl rose from the bed, and out of her coma. <br><br>From that day on, Bridgett had full access to Beta, and her x-gene was active.<br><br>It only took four weeks for her parents to bring in a priest. Their daughter had changed completely. She had been found in bed, naked and writhing with the other version of herself. More than once, Bridgett had vanished completely for days, and returned talking nonsense about other dimensions, and the world of people-music. Bridgett was starting to be able to morph her face, and her parents were convinced that a demon had possessed their child, the surveillance footage from the hospital had not helped Bridgett's case.<br><br>Of course, the exorcism did not succeed. Bridge would not respond to a Latin Bible, holy water, candles, or the holy cross, and the priest concluded that this girl was beyond help.<br><br>A few years passed before she had been found by Xavier, he could feel her confusion, and he’d called her in with the help of a few x-men at the time. She came to the school in order to learn about her powers, and educate herself. It took a long time, but she finished a collegiate degree there. The young mutant started to teach at the school last year, at the age of twenty nine.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Addendum</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The truth that Bridgett doesn’t know: She’s a psionic being that doesn’t need a body. When she ‘recovered’ from her coma, her x-gene activated and hit it’s full potential right away. Her body was acting on it’s own to keep her alive. She became a psionic being in that moment. The ‘Beta’ that appeared was psionic, and when she touched Bridgette’s foot she burned up Bridgette’s original body gifting herself a new body made of psionic properties. This psionic quality allows her to take the form of anything she wants to take.<br><br>Bridgette is actually in a copy of her original body because it’s all she knows. The Beta is a copy of her original body as well, and when they combine together, she’s still just one copy of the original.</div></div><br><hr><hr><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong> *Disclaimer </strong></span></div><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><em>Do not Tell Bridgett she is a psionic. She doesn't know, almost no one would be able to tell. She's strange, and ethereal in more ways than one, but she thinks she's a regular person with a regular human body. So, she is that, a regular person, in a regular human body... That's actually a psionic.<br><br>So don't tell her! Bad things will happen!</em></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha (unrealized potential still)<br><br><strong>Psionic Form:</strong> <br>Put plainly, Bridgette doesn't need a body. She can exist without one. She doesn't know this. And although she is a psionic being, she lacks the power of other dangerous psionic lifeforms. Bridgette’s body is real. All of her physical properties exist in the material world. But, they don’t have to. Bridgette can turn herself into anything she imagines. This power is the basis of her mutation. But she has no concept of being psionic energy. She just thinks she’s Bridgette, and her different forms are very limited. <br><br>There are applicable uses for this power. Bridgette could make her bones thicker, she could protect her brain better. But, she doesn’t know how, and she’s unable to accept it as an option right now. She doesn’t even know she’s a psionic being. <br><br>She has a few tricks though without full knowledge. Bridgette can put a feather in her hair at will, her hair actually becomes feathers if she wants it. She can make her skin into lizard like scales. She can change the color of her eyes, or her skin. She can change her clothing if she’s wearing it, and mend it together like a seamstress if she has it on. However, besides having the ability to psionically poof pimples and scars away subconsciously, she can actively take a few different distinct forms listed below<br><hr><em>Bridgette Desjardins</em> - Her identity, her ‘virtual self’. One girl from France who likes cigarettes, and sex. She’s six feet tall with bendy bones. As light as a feather, flexible, perfect tits, long legs, and incredibly soft hair.<br><br><em>Bridgette and Bridge</em> - The Twins, Two Bridges. An Alpha, and a Beta. The same girl twice. The limits and the actual rules: No telepathy between them, physically, two different people. Bridgette will instantly remember everything her Beta did as soon as they meld together again. If Beta gets a black eye, when the two of them meld, Bridgette will absorb the black eye. It would heal quickly, unless she likes it. <br><br><em>The Flower Girl </em>- Brigette calls her the flower girl. Rose petals fall out of her hair. She exudes a sweet scent, and flowers grow from her head. Bees float around her happily, and they actually pollinate the flowers, for they are real flowers. Her hair goes lighter, and her irises are pink. Her voice is more high pitched, and she’s actually three inches shorter.<br><br><em>Bridges </em>- Similar to Bridgette and Bridge, except both of her bodies have feathers on their limbs and their back. They have black Angel wings, and feathers also come out of her head. In this form, both of them can fly. She also likes to wear a helmet in this form that Xavier and a few others helped her design. Her bendy skull still makes her very fragile, so the helmet helps to keeps her alive.<br><br><em>Old Horror Forms </em>- Bridgette has tried to forget how to take these forms. Bridges is still sort of scary, but not as scary as what she used to be sometimes. She used these forms in her teens to scare the hell out of her parents and random people she met, fastly becoming a villain and a poster girl for evil mutants. She never made major news, and usually tried to scare people out alone or small groups of campers in the woods. She only wanted to scare them, to make them run home screaming. Again, she hasn’t done this in a long time, and has mostly forgotten how to take these forms: Zombie girl, Crow, Scarecrow, ghost girl, and the demon girl complete with red skin, a tail and horns. She still uses this one from time to time for the fantasies of her lovers. But, it’s difficult for her. <br><hr><hr><strong>Psionic Empath:</strong> <br>Bridgette’s power is filtered through an understanding people’s emotions, and an understanding of her own emotions. Imagine her like a broadcast tower. Her Emotions have a volume that can be turned up and down, so she can hide her emotions. She can play different stations without listening. In other words, Bridgette can feel very sad, but she can project happiness with ease. (When she does this, her psionic powers make her smiles more honest, even when they’re not). She can also receive signals, using the tower metaphor even more. So, sensing other people’s emotions is her most used power. The distinct uses for these powers are below.<br><hr><em>Empathy</em> - sensing other people’s emotions, and sensing people in close quarters in general. This is not mind reading, she can’t read thoughts at all. All of this takes place as music in her mind. Angry people make aggressive music. Happy people are pleasant. And groups of people together sound like an orchestra or a band. Depending on how well people get along, the ‘quality of music’ changes. So, it’s easy for her to see who is and who isn’t getting along.<br><br><em>Broadcasting</em> - Bridgette can turn her emotional volume up or down. This is useful for teaching, if she’s having a rough day, she can hide that emotion. She can also turn ‘her station’ down in class to give students space. In the other direction, it’s easy for her to engage her students because she can ‘broadcast a happy song’.<br><br><em>Seduction</em> - It’s an art for her.<br><br><em>Hiding</em> - refer to Jubilation Lee, she was able to hide in a mall for years as well as in the x-mansion for an extended time with a similar power. She can turn down her presence of being and her emotions to make herself difficult to remember, or even perceive. Naturally, if someone can see her. They will know she’s there. But, in a crowd, it would be hard to spot her or track her down.<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br><em>Helmet</em> - to protect her skull from being caved in with a simple punch. She doesn’t wear it often, and is very careful with herself. One bad fall, and it’s coma time again for her.<br><hr><hr><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><em>Anatomically Wrong</em> -&nbsp; Calm down, Bridgett has a vagina. But, Bridgett only weighs 66 lbs. That was not a typo up there. And that's just the beginning. Bridgett's bones are not bones. When she stands up straight, or runs, or jumps, or does anything that supports her own weightless-like self, her bones are fine. They feel hard, they feel good, and solid. However, when stressed, her bones are flexible, and difficult to damage. There is something to the structure of her DNA that changed the consistency of her skeleton. Her bones aren't bones, and their not cartilage. It is painful when her bones do 'bend', but her body is built for it, and, the feeling passes quickly. Her joints, and places on her body that should be cartilage, are also made of this mysterious plastic-like bone material. She appears to be normal until someone starts to bend her. Needless, to say, she's never had any bones broken. Moreover, Bridgett bruises incredibly easily, and the bruises are always black, as if there is oil in her bloodstream. <br><br>Bridgett is unbelievably flexible, and her tendons stretch like rubber bands. This only gives her an advantage in yoga and the bedroom, not the field of battle. Unfortunately, Bridgett also has a minor case of anemia, and her blood has difficulty clotting. Open wounds can lead to excessive bleeding, and she is more susceptible to bleeding out than a regular human would be. It is slightly difficult to cut her, her bones are not hard enough to cause serious laceration, she is genetically designed to bruise easily, and painlessly. All of this does, in fact, make her brain rather vulnerable. No one has ever tried to chop her bones in half, but they would find it to be incredibly easy. Her bones are NOT strong. Her bendy bird body is the only part of her mutation that has been with her her since birth.<br><br><em>Recovering Psychotic</em> - Bridgett was, at one time, more than one sandwich short of a full picnic basket. She's quite sane now, but when she was younger, she rarely used her Duplicate to do anything productive. She filled up thirty-five black and white composition notebooks, and then, never let anyone read them, for good reason, almost every page was littered with brutal murder scenes and bloody violence. It was mentioned that her duplicate never did anything productive. She’s still recovering a bit, the two of them (Bridgette and Beta) love to smoke cigarettes together. And they are often cuddling together in order to pass the time. She shares secrets with herself as if the other version of herself isn't going to know what she had just said.<br><br><em>Crow's Fighting Spirit</em> - She has no idea how to throw a punch or take one. So, if Bridgett gets into a fight, she feels a lot pain. She could easily be knocked out of the equation with a single punch. <br>&nbsp;<br><em>Unnaturally Thin Blood</em> - Bridgett is a very bad bleeder, and a small cut can cause her to lose a lot of blood. A large wound could easily kill her. <br><br><em>Pessimist</em> - Bridgett is a coward. She is harshly afraid of dying and she always believes that the worst will always come to fruition. Bridgett would rather hide in a closet and turn down her empathy frequency than stand in the middle of a fight, back to back with her duplicate swinging blades at large hammers.<br><br><em>Crow Strength</em> - Bridgett's muscles do not move a lot of weight around. It's a strain for her to pick up an industrial sized bottle of shampoo, or a laptop computer. She also removes herself from any kind of training regiment, so she doesn't have the will to become stronger either. In her rationale, she would need to be a massive body builder just to be able to help somebody move out of their house, it's not worth it, she's fine being as weak as a seven year old child.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>OTHER</strong></span><br><br><em>Bridgette can Teach two classes at once. She also holds lessons for piano and tennis most days of the week, but it's not as scheduled. These are her courses for the fall. </em><br><br><em>Bridgette Desjardins #1</em> <br>7:35 - 8:30 -- Psychology, Childhood Development<br>8:35 - 9:30 -- Psychology, Family systems<br>9:35 - 10:30 -- French I<br>10:35 - 11:30 -- Psychology, Human Sexuality<br>11:35 - 12:30 -- Break/Lunch<br>12:35 - 1:30 -- French Advanced<br>1:35 - 2:30 -- Sex ed<br>2:35 - 3:30 -- Runs a study hall and helps with all subjects<br><br><em>Bridgette Desjardins #2</em><br>7:35 - 8:30 -- Psychology, Coping Skills<br>8:35 - 9:30 -- European History<br>9:35 - 10:30 -- Philosophy<br>10:35 - 11:30 -- French II<br>11:35 - 12:30 -- French III<br>12: 35 - 1:30 -- Lunch/Break<br>1:35 - 2:30 -- Comparative Religions<br>2:35 - 3:30 -- Runs a detention hall for bad kids.<br><br><em>Tennis</em> -This is the one sport that Bridgett is good at, and her mother made sure that she knew how to play, Bridgette tried ballet as well, but she was too flexible and it scared the other children. As Bridgett got older she started to enjoy this game a lot more, because she could feel when her opponent was getting tired, or frustrated, or confident, or worried, or anxious. Also, she can play with her duplicate, which has done tons for her game, practice has ramped up big time since the age of fifteen. Tennis is the most normal thing that Bridgett is good at.<br><br><em>Piano</em> - Bridgett was trained to play the instrument from the age of four to the age of fiteen by an expensive professional, and she two of her own fine french pieces, one in her bedroom at home, and one in the study of her house in Oregon. Bridgett had always enjoyed playing, and again, her practice became more interesting and fruitful when her Duplicate could play the bass, and Bridgett could solo on the treble keys.<br><br><em>Multi-tasking</em> - Need I say much more? Bridge can grade Psychology essays, while Bridgett instructs a student on a new piece for the the piano, afterward, they can meld together, Bridgett learns what Bridge had learned, and then her bread in the oven can finish cooking from when the two of them had done some baking earlier. Finally, Bridgett can give a lecture or get a drink while Bridge plans lessons for the next day.

His face is angular, focused, and a charming, roguish smile is always at the read for any pretty ladies that might wander by. The powerful red flare coming from his eyes are a signature, and it gives his face an incredible unique quality that almost draws away from the flawless bone structure and the strong muscles in his jaw and his cheeks. His style is equal parts flash and class. He has a swanky nature to him, a lithe body, a built frame, and a tendency to dress for the ladies. So naturally, Gambit ends up feeling like a walking invitation for open vacancy. His smile is beyond charming. He is smooth, by nature, and his body language is as telling as his clothing choices and his perfect body.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who The Are</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Cunning, smart, tricky, manipulative, sneaky, flirtatious, romantic...All are words that have been used to describe Gambit by many people in his life. They are far from the only words, and a number of much harsher words have been used before as well, but those are the ones he likes to remember. A chronic flirt and charmer, it's rather known that Gambit enjoy the company of women, and with his silver tongue and Cajun flair, most tend to like him in return. This, combined with his rather cocky displays of thievery and other exploits, can lead many to dismissing him out of hand as nothing more than an arrogant playboy just out for his own fun and amusement.<br><br>And they wouldn't be wrong. Gambit is out to enjoy life to its fullest, but there's more to him than pretty women and valuable items. Despite all claims to the otherwise, the man does have a conscience (if skewed) and a good heart, and he knows quite well when he's done wrong. He strives to keep others from seeing that side of him. He suffers in private from memories of actions taken against the Assassin's Guild, and even if it was in self-defense, he regrets taking the life of his would-be brother-in-law. If at all possible, he would prefer to talk his way out of a fight, rather than breaking out the cards or his staff.<br><br>One of the few things where the core of Gambit might shine through are topics dealing with the control of mutant powers. He'll never admit it, but he is terrified of losing control of his abilities, and even to this day suffers the occasional nightmare where he's lost all control and destroys the world itself. An unlikely, possibly even impossible scenario, but one he fears nonetheless. This fear can lead him to make stupid decisions.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves' Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. When he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves’ Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves’ Guild and their rivals, the Assassin’s Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux (who were secretly star-crossed lovers already), the granddaughter of the head of the Assassin's Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Remy killed Julien in self-defense, but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans in an attempt to maintain the nonaggression pact between the two guilds--the marriage never took place.<br><br>Leaving the city, he wandered the world, plying his skills as a master thief to get by and make a name for himself. As time passed, however, and his mutant powers only continued to grow stronger, he became worried. It only took one "accident" for Remy to realize the danger he could unleash at his fingertips, how one mistake could potentially level a building, a neighborhood, and end innocent lives. Not to mention, attract the attention of the increasingly paranoid and controlling government. It's a small matter of some pride that he was never captured by the government. It's amazing how easy a pair of sunglasses makes it to hide his only obvious mutation, and being trained as he has been in escapism, the times where something did go wrong he got out of it. During this period, however, he was involved in a massacre of mutants that just tried to live their existence out undisturbed in the sewers beneath a city, something that still haunts him to this day.<br><br>It was while he was searching for a way to gain more control over his abilities than he ran into a girl named Anna Marie, on a train headed to New York. For the thief, it was love at first sight...Something about the Southern belle ensnared him--and it wasn't just the fact that she seemed rather resistant to his charms. Even learning of her power and the danger association with it didn't dissuade him.<br><br>He ended up following her into the Brotherhood, which she had already been a member of for a few years. The group left him uneasy, though, even if initially they promised to help him find some control for his powers...Primarily, he chased his <em>cherié</em> though. Right up until he stumbled in on a scene he shouldn’t have, involving the bestial Sabertooth and some innocent civilians, and the X-Men. Taking a stand, Gambit refused to just walk away. The resulting fight left Gambit badly injured, a strip mall destroyed, and Sabertooth learning just how painfully a charged 52 Card Pick-Up really was. But injured enough that he couldn’t flee on his own, he was collected by the X-Men for medical treatment and taken back to see Professor Xavier.<br><br>Gambit now serves as a staple member of the X-Men team, and one of the teachers as Xavier’s school...once they found a subject he could teach that didn’t encourage unruly behavior. In general, his views are some of the more laid back at the school. He certainly doesn’t approve of the Brotherhood--as a thief he was trained to make as few waves as possible, and the Brotherhood is just asking for the trouble. The government is the government, they’re always boning somebody, and there’s not much you can do aside from your legal protests and blah blah, just look after yourself. Xavier’s pacifist approach he’ll support...though he suspects it won’t be long before they have to take a stand, one way or the other.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Alpha<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Energy Manipulation</strong> - Remy has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object. The larger it is the more time it takes. He can charge a rock as big as a small house in the matter of seconds. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. Gambit can also use his powers to accelerate an object's kinetic energy instead of converting its potential energy, for example, he can charge his bo staff with enough power to level a house. His ability also allowed him to affect his own capability to heal, and enhance his own physical attributes.</li><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Cutting Ability</strong> - Charged objects can also have a razor edge emitting an energized flow that can slice through objects or work like an explosive cookie cutter by energizing around wherever Gambit wishes and having it explode harmlessly.</li><li><strong>Dissolution</strong> - Gambit can also cause objects to pull themselves apart instead of exploding violently making them harmlessly melt down to nothing. Once he focused on dissolving shrapnel in a victim’s stomach.</li><li><strong>Disruption</strong> - Gambit can tame his explosive acceleration to temporarily scramble a person's sensory awareness, knocking them out cold.</li></ul><li><strong>Enhanced Conditioning</strong> - Gambit's ability to tap energy also grants him superhuman speed, strength, reflexes and reactions, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance via charging himself, bestowing him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style--this is the main exception to his “inability” to charge organic material.</li><li><strong>Accelerated Healing</strong> - While not on the level of the likes of Wolverine, Gambits heals extraordinarily quick by accelerating his own organic growth, and is able to survive wounds that would kill most other men. A side-effect of relying on this, however, is an intense hunger as his metabolism is kicked into overdrive.</li><li><strong>Static Interference</strong> - He creates natural static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that shields his mind from intrusion by telepaths. Can increase the effect by holding a charged object near his head. Although reportedly uncomfortable for the parties involved, this shield does not totally prevent telepathic invasion</li><li><strong>Vibration Emission</strong> - Gambit, through the kinetic acceleration instead of conversion can emit a shockwave accompanying a bright flashbang which leaves a sizable crater in the ground.</li><li><strong>Hypnotic Charm</strong>: Subliminal psionic talent channeled through his voice that allows a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit's charm, and people who are consciously aware of what he's doing can shake off the effects.</li></ul><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Playing Cards</em> - He usually has at least two decks of cards on her person, the typical playing card being his preferred weapon of choice to charge and use as a weapon.</li><li><em>Bo Staff</em> - Gambit also uses a collapsible bo staff for more physical weaponry.</li></ul><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Gambit can’t charge organic material, or liquids, with his powers. Fluids disperse kinetic energy too easily, and organic material...he’s not sure (the reality is that it’s a subconscious block he has on himself due to the fear over what he can do, and he’d be worried about exploding a person). Note: the distinction is between liquid and solid, and not the material in question--he cannot charge water, but he can charge ice, for example.</li><li>His primary ability, the energy charging, requires physical contact to use. Keep him from being able to touch something and he can’t charge it.</li></ul> <br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Due to the knowledge he was abandoned by his birth parents, over his eyes, and the Thieves’ Guild abandoning him, Remy does have some abandonment issues. These are largely masked by his casual and easy-going attitude, but are a reason he shies away from commitments and attachments that could sting him again.</li><li>Remy is often worried about losing control of his abilities, and causing a mass death or destruction similar to the event in the sewers. Few know of this fear, though.</li></ul><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>Connections Coming Soon![/list]

That fighting back was the only course of action and he wasn't shy about expressing that opinion.&nbsp; All that changed one day and since then, he's started to see that violence and conflict can only lead to more violence and conflict.&nbsp; While not a pacifist by any means, he understands that sometimes it's wiser to try and talk through matters first before violence can happen.&nbsp; Despite no longer being as big of a rebel, he still has difficulties with accepting authority and can be difficult to deal with at times.&nbsp; When around people that he's comfortable with, he has a sharp wit and a strong sense of humor, but with people he doesn't know, he can come off as standoffish at first.&nbsp; However, this only lasts until he understands if he can trust someone or not and then his sense of humor and laid-back nature come back in full force.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong>&nbsp; Born in New York City, Conner quickly learned that in order to survive, you had to be tough and be willing to fight.&nbsp; And he did.&nbsp; Even as a young kid, he was always in fights, often with kids much bigger than him as his parents pretty much allowed him to do what he wanted as they were too busy trying to make ends meet than worry about what their son did when he wasn't home, which was often.&nbsp; As with most mutants, his powers manifested when he was in his early teens and they manifested in one of his many fights, this one against two boys that were much larger than him and had accused him of stealing from them.&nbsp; He was innocent of the crime, but they refused to believe him and rather than run, he decided to fight.&nbsp; And he was losing badly and had his arms being held behind his back by one of the boys as the other took unprotected shots at his ribs.&nbsp; Suddenly, a nearby fire hydrant burst open and the spray hit the second boy hard, knocking him over.&nbsp; The distraction was enough for Conner to finally escape and this time, he made the smart decision and run.<br><br>However, this wasn't the end of it.&nbsp; Knowing that the spray from a hydrant shouldn't have been been able to strike the boy given the angle involved, Conner went back later and inspected the hydrant and, slowly, he discovered that the hydrant breaking and the water being so power was because of him.&nbsp; He realized he was one of those mutants that he'd heard so much about and he quickly took to trying to learn how to control his new powers.&nbsp; He soon learned that he was able to manipulate any nearby water, only small amounts at first, but in steadily increasing amounts as he trained his skills.&nbsp; But that wasn't all he learned.&nbsp; He paid attention and started to learn that there was a divide taking place between those with mutations and those without them.&nbsp; And as he watched the result of that, he started to hold a view very much similar to that of Magneto and his Brotherhood a few years later.&nbsp; In his mind, if people were going to try and hold them down, then why shouldn't they fight back and take over?&nbsp; And he wasn't shy about expressing this opinion to anyone that would listen and even those that wouldn't.&nbsp; Little did he know how much trouble his mouth would cause him when he mouthed off in front of a group of early anti-mutant activists.<br><br>They grabbed him and dragged him into a nearby alley, starting to beat him up.&nbsp; With no sources of water nearby for him to call on, he found himself at their mercy and the beating dragged on for a long time with Conner blacking out at different points.&nbsp; Finally, he would come out of one of his blackouts to find himself laying in the alley, his face beaten to a pulp, his body bruised and battered, and a long and bloody wound that he, to this day, had no idea how it was given to him.&nbsp; He was able to crawl out of the alley and be found by a bystander who called an ambulance.&nbsp; A short time later, he was at the hospital and as he laid in a hospital bed, he found himself questioning the wisdom of his believes.&nbsp; They had nearly gotten him killed without anything being accomplished.&nbsp; Perhaps, he realized, there was another way.&nbsp; A way that wasn't nearly as violent and might prevent what happened to him from happening to someone else or worse.&nbsp; It was at this time, he met Charles Xavier.<br><br>The Professor came to him while he recovering from his wounds.&nbsp; The two spoke at length about a number of things before eventually getting to the point of the visit, which was to invite the young mutant to join him and the X-men where he'd be safe.&nbsp; At first, Conner wasn't sure if that was the best idea, but then again wouldn't he be better off surrounded by other mutants?&nbsp; He would, he knew, and it was a chance to escape the city life that he was used to, but had never been a fan of.&nbsp; After a couple of days to think about it, Conner accepted the offer and spent a couple of years with Xavier before leaving for college.&nbsp; His time there had worked wonders for his attitude and his past beliefs and when Magneto would become active, he refused to have anything to do with him.&nbsp; While in college, he would eventually earn degrees in Chemistry, Physics, and Geology.&nbsp; Six months ago, he was asked by the government to return to Xavier's school so that he could help in the education of young mutants.&nbsp; After a bit of thought, he accepted and returned to the school, ready to impart his knowledge to young minds.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br><br><strong>Class:</strong> Beta<br><br><strong>Power Name:</strong> Conner has the ability to manipulate water, but cannot store or generate it.&nbsp; This includes physical manipulation such as using it for shields, which aren't really solid enough to stop objects, but can be useful for concealment, or as weapons like a cannon.&nbsp; His 'cannons' as he refers to them are strong enough to knock several men over, but currently not enough to do any lasting harm unless he can pin them against a wall or the ground and drown them with it.&nbsp; He has also been working on controlling large bodies of water, but so far he's only managed to create decent sized waves in small ponds, but he's confident that he can do more as his control grows.&nbsp; He also has found that he can manipulate the temperature of the water, but has yet to be able to lower the temperature to the level of freezing or raise it to the level of boiling or manipulate water in either it's solid or gaseous forms.&nbsp; When not near a source of water, he is able to actually pull the moisture out of the air around him and use that to fuel his powers, although that does make it hard to breath for anyone around him for a short period of time so he prefers having a source of water to work with.<br><br><strong>Equipment Name:</strong> None at this time. <br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br><br><strong>Weakness Name:</strong>&nbsp; His biggest weakness right now is his inexperience.&nbsp; It prevents him from utilizing his powers to their fullest.&nbsp; While he isn't sure, he suspects that his powers could easily develop into much more powerful tools, but he isn't certain yet.&nbsp; In addition to that, he is still vulnerable to electricity as any man is and the water conducts it, so he is wary of anything electrical when using his powers.<br><br><br><strong>Flaw Name:</strong>&nbsp; His biggest flaw is still his temper.&nbsp; Although he's gotten it under control in recent months, from time to time, it still flares up and makes it hard for him to focus and make the right decisions.&nbsp; As a result, he can still be a bit confrontational and that sometimes effects his ability to interact with others that he finds annoying or bothersome.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br><br>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.
