GM character (might show up a little...)

Name: Michelle Frederique Jameson
Alias: Jackhammer
Sex: Female
Age: 20

Appearance:

Normal clothing attire would consist of ripped jeans, boots, leather jackets and shirts.

Powers:
As far as Michelle is concerned with her powers, it is a "hit them hard" thing. When she punches people, she can force more power into the punch than normal. This works with bats and other objects as well. The force that she pushes into her target through the hit is expanded tenfold. Her punch can become as powerful as if someone was hit with a baseball in max velocity.
Under usual circumstances, Michelle can kick down a door with ease, stop cars with a punch and with a little effort even kick them aside. The problem with her power is that her body has to be able to take the initial impact between her and the object. The one time Michelle tried to stop a car with a punch resulted in more than a few broken fingers. Her whole arm was dislocated, broken in multiple places and even partially crushed together.

Bio:
Michelle lived in a happy little family in a small town in Quebec, Canada. Her teenage years were calm and comforting and many of her friends were fond of her. Her powers did not develop until her senior years in high school. She wanted to safe a person that walked across a street and a speeding driver was not paying attention. She dashed forward, hugged the co-student and tried to punch the car away. The car stopped, most of the engine block was squashed in and her arm was just as demolished.
It took her the rest of the year to heal off the arm and then another year to finish high school, because of missing classes and the inability to properly write with a crushed arm. In the end, though, she got her graduation done. She had spend another year working a small-time job in a restaurant and saved some money for College, at which point she was actually asked to join the Grinder. She did not realize until then that her ability was an actual mutation, but accepted the offer nevertheless.

She realized her ability to influence what people saw around the age of 17. She was playing hide -n -seek with the children in the Sunday School class she taught. She was able to hide from each of the children by making them think she was out of the room. She excitedly told her family about her newfound ability. They became enraged, accusing her of witchcraft. Every night they would have her pray that she would turn her life back to God. They even had her re-baptised. Eventually, a member of the church heard about what she was doing and told her about The Grinder. She knew immediately that this was the only place she would be safe to be herself.

Accepted Character of King Kindred:

Name: Alexander Clarke
Alias: Doesn't have an official one yet. He feels like his new friends could help him with that.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
Alex stands at about 6'2 and gained the scar through his lips when he was a kid. He almost always wears the white hoodie of his. The only time he doesn't wear it is if he's sleeping, washing it, or doing something that would get it dirty, wet, or damaged. Underneath it he's probably wearing a graphic tee and he mostly wears jeans. He also usually wears sneakers. He also got a tattoo on his arm as soon as he turned eighteen.
Powers: Tactile Telekinesis: His whole body is completely surrounded by an invisible aura of telekinetic energy. This aura protects him from damage as well as provides him with enhanced strength. Due to inexperience the aura isn't that strong and he is able to get hurt and he's not as strong as he can be. He can however will the aura to disappear to allow himself a bit more freedom. At the moment he can only extend the area as far as his clothes. With training he is sure that he could become stronger and even develop more telekinetic abilities as seen in movies or read in stories.

Telepathy: His secondary power is telepathy and due to inexperience and only personal training it is limited as well. So far he has only shown the ability to read minds, speak telepathically, learn languages via telepathy, and create temporary mind links with others. Mind reading is second nature to him and he has to stop himself from wanting to listen to what other people are thinking about. Especially when they're talking to him. The temporary mind links place a strain on his mind and he feels more pain the more people he's connected to and the longer they're connected.
Bio: Alexander comes from a wealthy family. His ancestors were rather influential in Great Britain. One of his ancestors was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. His grandfather decided to branch out of Europe and decided to move to the United States to start what is now known today as Clarke Global. The company focuses primarily on technology and technological advances, but we're really not here to talk about the company. We're here to talk about Alex.

Alex lived a life an ordinary kid in his standings would live. He didn't very much care for his wealth or the company he was destined to run. He really only cared about having fun. His father was more strict on him than his mother was. Alex always understood why though. His grandfather was a very strict man and wasn't someone he'd want to get upset so he usually stayed out of his way whenever he visited. He wouldn't really call the visits, visits though. They were really always business discussions.

Life was alright until one day when he was twelve. He was kidnapped by some guys who expected a ransom, but if only they knew his dad. His mother would've cried for him to pay the men, but his father would've said something about not negotiating with criminals or terrorists. Plus they already had another kid who could be the heir to the company if he was killed. Yeah, his dad sucked. Anyway, when the guys were told they weren't getting a penny they decided to show Alex's dad that they were serious about their demands. They decided that they were going to torture a twelve year old kid. They cut his lips deciding to make the heir to a fortune ugly. Unfortunately for them it made him look better as he got older and they awakened something inside the kid. Alex's mutation activated at that moment preventing them from cutting him anymore. They were shocked that their knife bent against his skin. Alex was in shock with them, but used this as his chance to escape. He rammed into them with his head and felt no pain or discomfort, but they certainly did.

Alex was glad that he watched a lot of movies and used the chair breaking escape thing in most action movies to break the chair so that he could escape. He grabbed one of their flip phones and used it to dial 911 as he ran. The guys were arrested and the family lived happily ever after. They didn't. Alex couldn't wait to tell his parents about what happened. They came to the conclusion that he was a mutant. They were horrified at this, but was glad that the mutation wasn't obvious. They told him never to use his abilities around anyone. Especially not their "friends" and business associates.

Alex hated that they were stopping him from being who he was. When he was fifteen he learned that he could read minds and as he started to use it more he learned about other things that he could do. Due to him potentially running the business one day his parents got him learning different languages and he learned them rather easily. His parents started focusing more on his younger sister since she was the normal one. The one that wasn't a filthy mutant. He listened to their thoughts a lot.

After he graduated High School he convinced his parents to let him go to the Grinder and that they didn't have to tell their friends and associates that, that was the school he was going to. They eventually conceded and let him enroll and here he is.

Accepted Character by themadhatter420:

Name: Artemis Pearl
Alias: "The True Hunter" or "The Silent Hunter" (either one until I find a shorter one)
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pan-sexual (doesn't mind gender or age)
Appearance:

Powers: She has the ability to charge her arrows in her bow she created with electricity. The more she charges up they do more damage but she can only super charge them once or twice per fight. It drains too much of her power so she only uses it when she has to. She is also very silent when she is running or walking around. Its almost as if you cant hear her at all and suddenly she is right behind you in the hall.

Bio: She was raised homeless most of her life in the forest. She used to catch her food for her family to keep them from starving. She knew that there was a better life they could be living but her mother was unable to work because of different "health issues" they never told her about until she was 17. Her father was always out of the picture but would find them every once in a while to yell at her mother about how bad she was doing as a mother. One day it pissed off Artemis. She knew her mother was doing everything she could. She picked up her bow and had felt her power manifest and she aimed right at her father with her bow and arrow. When her mother say the electricity around the arrow her mother grabbed her daughter to stop her from using it. She blacked out and woke up in the dorm rooms at the Academy. Her mother was there and told her that she too was a mutant. She told Artemis that she had to stay at the school to learn how to control her powers better than she could come back and live with her if she wanted to.

Accepted Character by Willem3141592 (left):

Name: Marc Willems
Alias: Receptor
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Marc is 1.86 meters tall (6'11") and has an average build, not muscular, but not fat or slim either. He has short brown hair and his eye colour is grey. He has a smooth pale skin as it is seldom exposed to the sun. He has a strong jawline and rather heavy eyebrows. Not much is seen of this because he covers nearly everything of his body to reduce external stimuli. He wears usually wears jeans and a hoodie with the hood over his neck. His hands are covered by rather thick gloves. He also wears a linen scarf, most of the time this is pulled up to cover his nose. He always wears sunglasses to reduce the brightness of the light and noise-cancelling headphones.


Powers:

• Super sight: He is able to see with enhanced clarity,detail and frequency, as well from a greater distance. With much concentration he is able to zoom in on objects, magnifying them. He's also able to see a bit into the ultra-violet and infra-red spectrum. His field of view is also a it larger than than of a normal human and is able to see very well in the dark.
• Super hearing: His hearing is able to pick up very soft sounds and he has a very wide range of frequencies he can listen too, even radio. With much concentration he is able to pick out one sound and focus on it.
• Super smell: Marc's sense of smell is so advanced he is able to track and trace smells more efficient than a blood hound.
• Super taste: Marc can taste traces that are usually only found by analytical machines and deduct the composition of it.
• Super touch: With this Marc can feel the slightest changes in pressure, including those through air and is able to sense very precisely the temperature of faraway objects.
• Super balance: Marc has an excellent sense of balance.
• Super reflexes: Not only his sensory nerve system has a mutation, his motoric nerve system has too. His reflexes are near instantaneous.
• Super muscle control/dexterity: Marc is very precise and never shakes. He is able to move every consciously controlled muscle exactly as he wants to. This includes his vocal cords, allowing him to reach otherwise inaccessible frequencies and volumes. It also makes him an excellent voice impersonator and ventriloquist.
• Improved pain resistance: While nowhere near 'enhanced' levels, Marc is able to deal very effectively with pain, because of his constant exposure to it. Rarely, in moments of great concentration or stress he is able to shut it off.

The downside to this all is that he can't control any of it. He is not able to power down and is constantly bombarded with sensory input. This gives him very heavy headaches. He's also very sensitive to everything, walking past a thrash bin might make him throw up, flash-bangs and the like will render him unconscious due to exposure. Even a slight breeze on exposed skin is able to hurt Marc.

Bio: Marc was born and raised in a medium-sized town. The first signs of his mutation started to show when he first stood up to walk. While most small children often fall, Marc had never fallen due to the mutation of his sense of balance. While this was extra-ordinary, no one was concerned with this. During his entire childhood Marc had a slight advantage of his enhanced senses and movements. Around his twelfth he started hearing sounds and seeing stuff and colours no-one else did. A year later he started hearing voices, picking up parts of radio transmissions. From there on it all went down-hill. He kept getting more stimuli and pain to go with this. He started to isolate himself from others to reduce the pain. It was only recently Marc figured out he was a mutant and enrolled in the Mutant College of Liberty and Equality.

Other: Marc is addicted to paracetamol because this numbs his senses.

Accepted Character by Legion02:

Name: David Fletchers
Alias: None, considering he hasn’t really done anything special yet. Though he plans to call himself: Astral. Though he’s still thinking it over.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: (Quite honestly i'm still working on this but i was hoping someone could already take a look at the 'Powers' and 'Bio' to see if that's okay)
Powers:
Cosmic powers.
The cosmos is filled with harmful radiation. Humans have already many identified such as gamma rays and ultra-violet light. However, some remain a mystery to humanity. Waves that alter other wave’s their amplitude or wave-length. Thus a whole cluster of unidentified waves still exist. Often discarded by scientists as ‘background noise’ while for a matter of fact, these kinds of waves originate from a cousin of the proton. A massless particle with as many mysteries themselves like protons. However, they have a lot more energy in them than protons. David calls that stage of the particles the ‘Alpha’ form. For normal humans (it is entirely possible for mutants with enhanced vision to see these particles) the particles are invisible. However, if you’d ask David how it looks, he’d tell you that it looks like they make a purple aurora in the sky at night.

David’s skin seems to function both as absorber and container of these particles. His nerves also seems remarkable attuned to this strange particle. At thought he can use it to fire a concentrated beam or orb of the particle. While in a normal state, like you’d find in the universe, this particle does not interact with any matter what so ever. Though somehow when David uses it, it does interact. Most often it superheats its surroundings, effectively creating plasma. He calls this state of the particles the ‘beta’ form. In the beta form the heat makes the light surrounding the particles red.

Just recently David discovered that these particles have a third ‘form’. In which they act as negative-gravitons. Thus negating gravity. However it has only worked on small objects like a tennis ball for so far. He calls this state of the particles the ‘delta’ form. Delta form particles often consume light for some odd reason. Making it as if the particles themselves look pretty dark.

His powers are most certainly useful, but they come at a cost. For one, the particles are easily absorbed by most metals. Which means that if he remains inside, even if there are windows, his particles will not replenish. In other words. If he uses his particles too much inside, he might end up exhausted of them. A second drawback is discharges. Even a bucket can overflow with water and the same goes for David. If there is a big build-up of these particles, they will be forced out. Often in either delta form or beta form.

Bio:
His mutant powers have only been manifesting themselves since he was 15. At first it was just his vision that was altered. High in the sky he saw the beautiful purple aurora. He wasn’t an insomniac or something, but he’d try to watch the sky passed midnight at least once a week since he could see the enchanting beauty.

About a year and a half after he discovered the aurora, his first discharge happened. The day started normal, except that he woke with a little headache. But David, as a 17 year old teenage boy, thought nothing of it. Throughout the hot day the headache got worse and worse. Until at PE. It was soccer and David seemed strangely energized. Until of course, he burned a goal down. Right before he wanted to take a shot at the goal, his vision blurred and blackened. The next thing he knew he found himself on a scorched patch of grass with a very burned smell coming from somewhere. Classmates would later tell him that it seemed as if the ball had a trail of red plasma. The goal keeper was able to jump away and didn’t get hurt. But the net caught fired and melted, together with the grass he was standing on.

At first David was discouraged. Even afraid. He heard a lot about the politicians with their Mutation Registration Act and feared that his class would see him as a monster. Though in the next few weeks, they didn’t treat him super different. Sure they often asked how he had done it, but he wasn’t bullied for it. This gave David the confidence to experiment with what he had. Soon he discovered that he could somehow launch red hot plasma at will. Much to the dislike of his mother, who had to buy new china.

His discovery of the delta form was also accidental, and most likely triggered by a discharge. One particular morning he woke with literally everything that wasn’t bolted to the floor peacefully floating around him. Of course until he noticed that it was floating. His desk and drawer crashed into the ground immediately. Around this moment his mother had enough and decided that it was time for him to learn how to use what he had. So she send him off to the Grinder. Hoping for the best for him.

Name: Saul Sampson.

Alias: EndGame

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Sexuality: straight

Appearance: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Character-Concept-Baseborn-The-Third-361935446

Powers: Power Opposition: Josh has the ability (when coming into contact with other mutant abilities or DNA of other mutants) to inherit the exact opposite abilities from said mutant for example if he was hit with a blast of light, depending how strong and how long he was hit for he would inherit Darkness manipulation for a certain amount of time. Much like the known X-Man 'Rogue' the longer contact is made the longer and more powerful the ability will be, That said there is no telling how long it will last, a simple light beam hitting Josh can last to an hour, while if hit again on a separate occasion could last him five minutes. If exposed too long it is theorized that he will get to keep some of the abilities, these kept abilities seem to be activated by being around other mutants, activated or not.

When he hasn't taken any abilities he is just like any other human being, same amount of durability,reaction,strength or your average twenty year old.

Bio: Saul grew up in a big house in a gated community with everything he had ever wanted. Except freedom his parents who were both social recluses didn't like him spending time outside to much, always hovering on everything he did. Homework,eating, everything. They thought that keeping him busy with toys and games would quench his thirst for the outside world. They were wrong, Saul would always sneak out of the house to see his friends doing anything they wanted that was morally okay. But one night he and his friends met the inheritors a mutant only gang with the mentality that Mutants were supposed to inherit the world. They hated all non-mutants and frequently picked fights with them. This night they had the bad luck of meeting up with 'Crusher' a lieutenant who decided to use Saul and his friends and his playthings. He had the mutant ability to increase gravity in small pockets. He once he started to apply gravity to Saul and his pals Saul stood normally, straight up confused, Crusher applies more powers to Saul. Enough to crush him completely. Saul then lunged at Crusher, not much bigger than he is he went for an uppercut and missed. But what happened after that what much more surprising. Crusher was launched into the air, with no intent in stopping, he just rose into the night sky. Soon objects around Saul started to lift, along with him and his friends, as they panicked he tried to focus on staying down.

After this incident it was all over the news, Jackson Moss or 'Crusher' landed in an intersection, no longer a problem. After this Saul got himself tested. And he was tested positive for Mutantisim and after spending 2 years in inside a mutant jail he sent in an application to 'the grinder' for Mutant Consular.

Accepted Character by Natty:

Accepted Character by HHShetland:

Name: Sumat Ibras Akkarmoon Sajak (ਸ਼ਉਮਤ ਇਬ੍ਰਸ ਅਕ੍ਕਰ੍ਮੂਨ ਸਜਕ)
Alias: Raja Naga
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Sumat is one of the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on who you ask) mutants who possesses a very obvious physical difference from a normal human. Broadly speaking, his mutation makes him resemble a muscular, seven-to-eight-foot-tall four-armed Snake-Human hybrid, as shown below:

The clothes he is wearing in the above image is his combat attire; he usually just wears a pair of cargo trousers (with a hole for his tail, of course). He can't wear proper shoes, and even if he could, he would never cover his toes (see below for why). He also tends to forgo shirts a lot of the time, because... well, he has four arms. He sometimes wears tank tops, though.

PS: I drew that picture myself, so you'll have to use your imagination to make up for the errors.

Powers:
Enhanced Strength: This may sound straightforward, but it is important to note that most of his extra strength is granted by his extra arms. If he purposely restricted himself to just one pair of arms, his strength would be on par with a non-superpowered champion weightlifter. So while he could pick up a car, for instance, it'd take some actual effort; he can't do silly things like rip fire hydrants out of the ground effortlessly, or fling about trucks willy-nilly. It should also be noted that his extra arms require a lot more energy than the average person, which means his craving for food is greater than most people's.
Enhanced Dexterity: This is more of a Required Secondary Power that enables him to multitask with his extra arms without tangling them up.
Snakelike Senses: As a result of his Snake DNA, he perceives the world in a similar manner as a Snake. He has a keen sense of smell, provided by his tongue, and can detect even slight vibrations on the ground and in the air with his sensitive toes (which is why he hardly ever covers them). He also possesses an organ hidden beside each nostril that enables him to 'see' heat, in the form of infrared radiation; including the body heat of warm-blooded creatures. Objects hotter than room/ambient temperature appear to him in sharper focus and leave a distinct, trailing outline which glows in the dark; the effect becoming more pronounced the hotter something is. If blinded, he could still navigate using his heat and vibration senses. As a drawback to all of this, his normal eyesight is rather poor; even with glasses on, he'd have trouble reading a presentation on the other end of a ten-row-long lecture hall.
Venom: It may take some work to bite a resisting target, but contained within his mouth are retractable fangs which contain a potent neurotoxin. It takes a particularly extended dose to kill somebody quickly, but even smaller doses may lead to severe brain damage, including epilepsy or dementia. Sumat prefers not to use his venom unless his life depends on it.
Skin Regeneration (AKA Moulting): Not so much a power as it is a necessary evil, Sumat occasionally has to shed his skin. He tends to get noticeably more irritable when this happens.

Bio: Born on the Indian side of Punjab to an impoverished and illiterate family, Sumat's mutations lead a few of the devout locals, including his own parents, to consider him a real-life Naga, and a potential avatar of one of the Gods of Hinduism. His arrival caused considerable uproar amongst the locals; as Naga are considered nature spirits capable of bringing both fertility and natural disaster, many were considering dropping him off outside the city limits to avoid the risk of a disaster, while others were keen on keeping him around. The debate was ended for them once news of Sumat's birth spread beyond the slums of Ludhiana and he appeared on Indian national TV. Sumat's family began to hide him away, but he was eventually discovered by a man who owned a popular Circus. The man offered Sumat's family over five million Rupees to buy off the now-five-year-old Mutant as a sideshow attraction. Despite his mother's objections, his father found the offer too tempting and accepted.

The living conditions at the circus were barely better than the slums, and his 'owners' demanded that he exercise frequently so he could perform crowd-pleasing feats of strength. Luckily for him, he was bought off again three years later, this time by a wealthy British-Indian Philanthropist who sought to raise him as a normal person. He moved to the UK with his new adopted father, who set about giving him a proper education, but was also forced to keep him largely isolated from the public, for they, too, would no doubt turn him into a sideshow again.

Ultimately, Sumat learnt most of the basics, including learning to write and speak English fluently (and with an impeccable accent, too). But his experiences back home had lead him to believe that he could only really achieve success as a sideshow attraction, and that 'mutant equality' was a PC lie. Thus, he moved to the United States... and became a Pro Wrestler, under the monstrous, boastful persona of 'The Raja Naga'. He had always kept up his exercise regimen since he left the Circus, so raw strength was in no short supply for him.

Despite, naturally, being the new 'Monster' on the scene and always being set up as the villain to destroy all who cross him but eventually be taken down by the hero, Sumat never really cared, as it was a living and that was all that mattered. As time wore on, however, he came to believe that maybe his adopted father had a point, that he was wasting his teachings, and that he was destined for greater things. So, as soon as the latest championship was over, he retired from Wrestling and appealed to the Grinder to enrol as a mature student, determined to act on his epiphany.

Accepted Character by DaDrummer676 (left):

Name: Jamie "James' Wolfe

Alias: Surge

Age: 18

Gender: Male

((Sexuality: Heterosexual))

Appearance: James is 6'1" and has brown hair and golden eyes as a side effect of his mutation. He has an athletic build, but isn't overly muscular in the slightest. James' ears are pierced and he has full sleeves of tattoos on both of his arms.


Powers: James' mutation allows him to manipulate kinetic energy which is the energy possessed by any moving object. James can use this ability to absorb any kinetic energy that comes into contact with him. He can use this energy to boost his speed, enhance his strength, etc. He can also charge objects with kinetic energy to attack. For example, he could take a baseball, and charge it with kinetic energy and throw it at high speeds because of the energy inside it. He can also use stored kinetic energy to enhance his physical blows by charging his body with kinetic energy. James' main weakness is energy attacks, as they hold no kinetic energy.

Bio: James' mutation surfaced on the day of his 16th birthday party. He was hosting a huge and wild party at his house because his parents were out on a business trip and had to miss his birthday. Everything started off okay, people were drinking, dancing, havin fun, and so on. James was busying himself with flirting with the new girl at school, when it happened. James was about to go in for a kiss when her eyes widened and she stepped back. James had given her a questioning look but she kept backing away from him. With her finger outstretched towards him, he slowly gained some attention. Finally he asked what the hell was wrong with them, then his best friend at the time handed him a mirror. The whole party went silent as James saw his eyes were now a glowing golden color.

Before James could do anything, everyone literally left. The words "freak" "mutant" and "weirdo" hung in the air.

James went to school wearing sunglasses the next day, but his mutation was already known throughout the school.

James was expelled from his high school the last month of his senior year. A few of the bullies had gotten together and decided they were fed up with having a mutant in their school. They jumped Jamie in the back of the school at the end of the day. James covered his head in desperation, but realized their blows did nothing to him. He also realized that he felt strong, really strong. James only had to punch the three boys once, each punch sent the bullies skidding across the ground.

James was given two options in his court trial. Either he would go to jail, or to the Mutant College of Liberty and Equality. The judge was a mutant and had taken pity on James, knowing that the boy had not meant to send the boys to the hospital. James was lucky he was smart and met the academic requirements for the College, or off to prison he would have went.

This was the first power that he discovered but upon learning how to write and read he soon discovered his other powers. Turning words into a weapon and shield for him and his experty only grew as he aged and increased his education both at school along with his library. He discovered what The Grinder was through the help of his library however finished his regular schooling before finally departing from his normal life with his friends and randomly appeared on campus on day. It was more of a precauction for him as he didn't want to abuse his powers or mishandle them which might end badly for him or his unfortunate victims. Coming to Grinder was the best choice after he finished high school with the majority of his grades being above average but could of been better if he put more commitment into school instead of reading all the time.

Accepted CharacterS by Fumari (left):

Is there room for a couple more characters in this? Cause I'd love to get in on this while it's fresh.

Name: Daisy “Daze” Bartolo
Alias: Roadkill
Age: 20
Gender: Female
((Sexuality: Bisexual ))

Appearance:


Powers:
Daisy was born with several opossum-like traits, such as ears, fangs, large dilated black eyes, and a long, fully functional tail, which can lift and grasp things. Her hands and feet are somewhat similar to an opossum as well, with non-retractable claws and opposable thumbs on each of her feet, which supply her better balance and grip.

Also like an opossum, Daisy is able to see well in low lighting, has heightened hearing/smell, and is immune to rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth venom, and resistant to many other types of poison. As a bonus, she is surprisingly flexible and nimble, which is mostly due to her small stature.

And, of course, she is also able to “play dead”, like an opossum does. It is involuntary as well, meaning that she’ll play dead any time she’s startled/scared, almost like fainting. She’s pretty vulnerable in this state, as it can last between one to four hours, depending on how startled she is.

She’s taken a few kick boxing classes and is pretty decent when it comes to simple self-defense. She has also done a bit of mental training to help her control the impulse to play dead when she’s startled—mostly through breathing techniques and practice handling jump scares and stressful situations. She can usually feel when her body wants to play dead, and if she calms herself down enough beforehand, then it won’t happen.

Bio:
Daisy was born in Connecticut, to a single mother in a very large but close niche family. Despite her deformities, Daisy was always loved by her family and raised to be proud and happy for being different. Thanks to the strong support at home, Daisy managed to attend public school without too much trouble, dodging bullies where she could, and ignoring others when she couldn’t. It wasn’t until around her senior year of high school that her parents pressed for her to take a few self-defense classes, worrying about her safety as an adult mutant.

After graduating high school, Daisy decided that her next step would be to attend college, and she spent about a couple of years working towards that goal. With the help of her family and two full-time jobs, she actually managed to scrape just enough together to attend the Grinder, which had always been her dream school. Her goal is to go into physical therapy, and she has a deep passion for dance and music that she wants to somehow bring into play. What she is most excited for, however, is the chance to meet other mutants.

Name: Julian “Jules” Rockwell
Alias: Wrecking Ball
Age: 19
Gender: Female
((Sexuality: Homosexual ))

Appearance:


Powers:
Invulnerability. Essentially, Jules is invulnerable and near indestructible against any sort of physical attack on her body. Got a gun? Good luck. Flamethrower? Not a sweat (ha). She is even immune to most types of radiation and high-impact attacks. Because she cannot be physically damaged (easily) she usually doesn’t feel pain. Her mutation does not affect her physical strength, so she is only as strong as she works to be.

She has taken a few basic self-defense classes and somewhat knows how to handle herself. Because of her mutation though, she tends to make reckless decisions in believe that she cannot be harmed. It’s usually true, but can sometimes get her into even messier situations.

Weaknesses: Mental attacks or illusion, as well as anything that might cut off oxygen to her system. Certain air-born poisons might also slow her down, but for only as long as it takes for her body to metabolize them. Her mutation, for some reason, is accompanied by a very fast metabolism, so she requires a lot more nutrients and protein than the average person.

Right now, if too much pressure placed on her body, say from being crushed or attacked continuously for long periods of time, she will begin to feel it and take damage. It’s usually only minimal, such as a bruise or a light sprain in place of what should have been shattered bones, but with her reckless behavior, the damage can easily pile up. This can also be improved upon with practice and endurance training, which she plans to work on.

Bio: Jules was the youngest of four in a well-known politician’s family living in a nicer part of New York. Most of her childhood was spent with maids or nannies, and very little of it with her actual parents, making her relationship with them shallow at best. Despite not always seeing eye to eye with them, she did her best to stay out of trouble and did well in both academics and family matters.

About a month after her 16th birthday, their house was broken into by burglars, which resulted in the whole family being held at gunpoint. It was only a small slip up that caused it, really. The burglars obviously weren’t really in it to hurt anybody, but one Jules’ mother was panicking and they just didn’t have a steady trigger finger. In the end, one of the men directed his gun towards Jules, and her mother moved in the way of the shot, which should have gone through both of them. The burglars didn’t stick around long enough after to realize exactly who had died, but Jules’ family did. Her father was the most at odds with it, shocked at his wife’s useless sacrifice, and angry at his daughter for surviving and being a mutant.

After the incident, things mostly went back to normal, except for the increase in distance that seemed to place itself between Jules and her family. Her father especially became colder towards her, even going as far as to exclude her from publicity events that he otherwise brought her siblings to. Eventually, events all boiled up to her being asked to move out after high school graduation. With just a few bags and a checking account with about $10,000 in savings, Jules’ father essentially said “see ya” and cut all ties to her.

About a year later, after adjusting to a small apartment and a part time job, Jules began to think about attending college. She’d always been smart, and easily earned herself a nice sized scholarship to the Grind. Her current goal is law, but eventually, she wants to enter into politics. She holds a faint grudge against her father, but has otherwise moved on and tries to forget about her previous life.

Trey Abidemi's roommate (played by King Kindred):

Name: Christian Lloyd
Alias: The Blur
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance:
Christian stands at approximately six feet even. He usually wears a graphic t-shirt or a simple wife beater and jeans. He also usually carries a backpack around that's filled with snacks for him to eat. When he doesn't have his backpack you can guarantee that his pants have something for him to snack on.
Powers: Super Speed: Christian's mutant ability revolves around speed. He can run at insane speeds and his current average is mach 2. He still has room for improvement and it's possible for him to run faster in moments of stress or increased adrenaline. His power over speed provides him with different things. His wounds heal much faster than a normal human, but slower than a mutant whose power is strictly regeneration. He's sure he can't regrow limbs, but isn't sure if he could re-attach them. He honestly doesn't even want to find out.

Christian's speed would be deadly for him if he wasn't able to react to things at his speed. This doesn't mean he can't be caught off-guard, because he can. He also can adapt to g-force. He also has an accelerated thought process allowing him to essentially think faster than normal people and other mutants.

At the moment he can't vibrate his molecules through solid objects. He also has an increased metabolism that requires him to eat all the time to sustain his energy. The more energy that he uses the slower he gets until he recharges again.
Bio: Christian had a normal life. He didn't start gaining his powers until his twelfth birthday and even then he could hide his powers pretty well. Even before he had his powers he had a habit of always arriving somewhere late. People tended to call him out on that and even gave him nicknames surrounding it. It didn't really bother him though.

Puberty hit Christian like a truck of awesome. He was at the mall with some friends his Freshman year of High School and he was approached by some agent for some modeling agency that saw potential in him. At first he thought it was some scam to get his money, but he realized that he actually looked really good and people took note of it. Even before then he never had problems finding someone to date. He accepted the agent's offer and became a teen model.

He modeled all four years of High School and decided that if he was going to go to College he was going to end up doing it somewhere like the Grinder. Maybe he could fully come out as a mutant while he's there. The first bisexual mutant model. Boy would tumblr break from the news.
