Full name: Pietro Maximoff Codename: Quicksilver Age: 22 From: London, England Mutations: Able to run at speeds close to the speed of sound (770 mph). Has frictional and wind resistance when doing so. Appearance: ![enter image description here](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/158/7/8/quicksilver_by_longjunt-d7ldti1.png "Fastest prick alive") Special skills: Was trained specifically in jeet kune do for maximum efficiency with high speed attacks. Has more than natural ability in theft and training in breaking security systems. Background: A foster child since birth, Pietro has always had problems with authority figures. He was constantly caught stealing or causing some other level of mischief. Once his powers manifested however Pietro was on the verge of planning much bigger heists and other crimes to gain enough personal wealth to live well. This all changed however when he was met with an older man. He claimed he was Pietro's natural father and awaited this moment in the young man's life. The experience for Pietro was all at once confusing and infuriating, but he played along wanting to find out if the old man was speaking the truth. He was brought to an underground bunker in the Midwest US filled with other mutants. Where the old man spoke of their time coming and other cult like things. Pietro was unamused and convinced that if this man WAS his father, that he was better off without him. After making a quick escape he was found by members of the Project. Leaving behind his minor criminal ways was a bit difficult for Pietro, but it became easier as he started to exceed in training and even enjoy himself. All in all this was partially finding his cause in life, and partly rebelling against daddy. Additional notes: Owns a small one bedroom apartment and a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. Though he likes the car and will use it, he must prefers running. Much MUCH quicker and always more fun to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Full name: Nathaniel Reed Richards Codename: Dr. Fantastic Age: 26 From: Liverpool, England Mutations: Able to stretch up to three miles long, while also able to compress, reshape, inflate, flatten, and any other kinds of elastic abilities at will. Appearance: ![enter image description here](http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/289/3/3/looks_like_a_job_for_science_by_samuraiblack-d4czok5.jpg "The doctor") Special skills: An intellectual genius of an extremely high caliber, Nathan holds doctorates in numerous degrees and countless other degrees in almost all forms of science. Also partial to billiards, darts, and other pub sports... despite not being much of a drinker. Background: Nathaniel Reed Richards is an interesting case in terms of people serving under Project: X-Men. Raised in the heart of England, the young man showcased right from an early age an incredible knack for science and technology. Being able to create and innovate even from an early age. That said not too much is really known about him. For a long time Nathan tended to keep to himself. Wasn't very social outside of the schools he would regularly graduate from early. Even if his very friendly and excitable nature would suggest otherwise. When Nathan moved to America to further his studies it was when he first met Susan Storm. He was fascinated by her stunning beauty and equally beautiful smarts. Though at this time she spent half her time in school and the other half working at a store Nathan began frequenting, more so just to talk to her than for any other real reason. He finally worked up his own courage and asked her out on a date. Leading to a relationship between the two. Finally one night Nathan brought her up to his messy but still somehow organized apartment wanting to show her something important. A spacecraft that Nathan believed would revolutionized traveling through the stars. He wanted Susan to join him on its maiden voyage. It was on that faithful first test however the two encountered a rare cosmic shower coming around Earth. The ship wasn't properly protected as much as Nathan planned. Causing him to have to bring it in for an early landing. It was then that the two discovered after a day's time the ship had radiated their molecular structures. Causing the both of them to develop superpowers. Soon after Project: X-Men came around wanting them to join. They both did, but Reed to this day still regrets what he did to Susan, wanting to make things right somehow. Still, Nathan quite enjoys his new life. He is one of the heads of Dr. McCoy's research and development labs despite his young age, and even makes it a habit to go out on missions. After all, all work and no play makes Nathan bored, and the offices know what kind of things happen when Nathan gets bored... here's a hint, usually it involves explosions or something crazy in the name of science. Additional notes: The only real field of training Nathan has no passing score in is firearms training. Nathan very strongly is against guns and that level of violence. Although not having a passing score in every study for agent work typically means not being allowed to have agent work. Nathan was given special permission for it due to the usefulness of his powers, as well as his immense knowledge.
