Hey, sorry for my lack of posting and late CS but here it is for consideration anyway.

Name: Lucas Bishop

Age: 32

Alias: Bishop

Appearance:

Abilities: Bishop is a mutant and has the ability to absorb various forms of energy including but not limited to psychic (not immune to telepathic attacks) and magical. He can also store energy has absorbed to be used later. He can use this stored energy to boost his own systems like healing, stamina and strength for a short time. This power is passive, allowing him to absorb energy at all times.
He can also channel the absorbed/stored energy into biokinetic blasts or redirect the absorbed energy back at the target (and damages them, even if they are immune to their own powers).
He is also a well-trained tactician and an exceptional marksman.

Weaknesses: Bishop cannot absorb kinetic energy from inertial objects (for example, hitting a wall)
He is partially vulnerable to non-energy based attacks e.g. projectile firearms and melee weapons.

Origin: Lucas Bishop was born as a mutant several decades after the Sentinels Initiative went national and the Mutant Registration Act was extended to include the detention of all mutants in several different states, all guarded by huge Sentinel robots designed to eliminate any mutant dissonance. Born to a “normal” human couple, as a mutant, he was taken to the camps as a child and was branded with a large M over his right eye, along with his sister Shard, another mutant with the power to absorb light particles. Several years after their internment, they met with a small resistance group who had a daring, suicidal plan: go back in time and undo the events of the past. Bishop volunteered to travel back and stop the event that lead to the current Mutant Reg. Act: the execution of Nick Fury and the riots of mutants and pro-mutant humans that led to the Acts rush through Congress.
The plan was to travel back to the year that Fury was executed and find the infamous “The Iron Man”, a man who tried to save Fury and failed. Bishop knew the risks he was taking, along with everyone else. In order to allow Bishop to travel back, they would need a large power source to boost the powers of a mutant who was able to create gateways to other places. It was theorised that a large enough jolt could spark a portal to the past. That “jolt” however would kill the mutant and set off a chain reaction that would engulf everything in 5 mile radius. Timing was everything. Bishop and his crew, including his sister, fought their way out of the camp and to a nearby Sentinel repair facility. There, they hooked the mutant up to a spare Sentinel nuclear power source while holding off the other Sentinels. They all knew that if they succeeded, truly succeeded, that none of them would be dead or may have even existed, such is the price of time travel. But they knew what the alternative was. The mutant Gateway successfully opened the portal and Bishop stepped back in time to the year 2013, months after Fury was dismissed from S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Sentinel Initiative became public. It was now his mission to find “The Iron Man” and fix the future.
Sample: Bishop kicked at the small rock towards the fence that stretched for what seemed like miles. Across the fence, a tiny dot of red followed the rock as it twirled and came to a rest before it was popped into a cloud of dust. The large Sentinel slowly turned towards Bishop and stared at him. Well, as much as an emotionless robotic killing machine could stare. It was more likely cross checking his facial features in the Mutant Database to find what level mutant little Bishop was. Not that he knew any of this, he was just a child.

Shard came over and softly placed her on her brother’s shoulder, “Come on Bish, don’t bother the Sents, you know what might happen.”

Bishop looked up at her big sister, his eyes glowing with a strange look, “Shard, I wanna go outside.”

Shard tilted her head at her little brother, “Bish, you ARE outside, you can go play with the others if you like.”

Bishop turned back towards the fence, his tone determined, too determined for a child of his age, “No Shard, I wanna go outside.” Bish pointed towards the fence and the distance city in view of their camp.

Shard sighed, dropped to her knees, and turned her brother towards her, “Lucas, you know you can’t go out there, the Sentinels…”

Bishop shook his head, “One day Shard, the Sentinels won’t be there. I’ll make them go away, then EVERYONE can go outside.”

Shard chuckled, “Sure kid, one day, you’ll save all the mutants and the world. For now, go see if you can save Grandma from her chores.”

Bishop nodded and ran off back to their hut, shouting back at Shard, “You’ll see, Shard!”

Shard turned back to the fence, looking up at the ominous Sentinel ‘staring’ down at Shard, both still as statues, “Sure we will little brother. One day…”

Accepted, nice sheet :)

Right, shortly I'm going to get another titanpad up for dinner/the 'plan' being revealed, but it looks to me a few characters are set up for another IC post before that happens, so;

Bishop/Jean/Domino/Danvers/Calvin/Hank(for me, sorry no sheet yet)

Owners of these characters, would you rather have your own IC posts, or just clear up what they've been doing in the collab (Bishop can even 'arrive' mid collab, if so wished)

I think I'll work my way to the group in my first IC before I just jump into any collabs, just something shortish (for Adv anyway) of Bishop getting on the island, making his way to the aftermath of the battle and arriving at the hotel.

Sounds good, the meeting won't be brief, so you will probably have time to get a post up then join in.

I like presents :D

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I had to remake this from scratch today right before I would've finished. Hope this is good enough.

Name: Scott Summers
Age: 30
Alias: Cyclops
Appearance:


Abilities: Scott can fire optic blasts that have thermal, electromagnetic, and kinetic energy. The cause for this is that his pupils actually have enzymes that transform the air in front of him into a plasmatic state. He often wears a visor that can screen his blasts while still allowing him sight. Because of this, when he initially opens fire, the beginning of his blasts are a more powerful burst than the remainder. Also, he has combat experience and strategic expertise gained from leading the X-men early in life.

Personality: Scott is an introvert, he keeps his plans to himself and is very cautious about who he gives information to. He is often seen as a jerk, a cynic, and a self-sanctimonious preacher. But he is none of these things. He is the most thoughtful of the X-Men, he is objective and is willing to make sacrifices to reach an end-game that he can feel comfortable with. Scott is valiant and direct in his actions, but he is not impulsive at all, merely passionate. Deep down he has fears that linger from his teenage years, a lack of confidence and unshakable feelings of insecurity.

Bio: Born in 1984, Scott Summers was the firstborn to his father and mother, the first nuclear family composed entirely of Homo Superior, though he never knew it because he'd been raised in an orphanage where he was kept alive by the generosity of his elders. When he was fifteen he was adopted by Charles Xavier, who brought him to his mansion he'd inherited and transformed into a school meant to train mutants to survive in the world.

It was there that he met Jean Grey, Bobby Drake, Hank Mccoy, and Warren Worthington III. They were all a closely knit group of friends despite having emotions fly and other bumps in the road. There were often times when his shy nature caused tension between him and Jean Grey due to a crush that never became anything more. Xavier helped train them to fight for the coexistence of humankind and mutantkind in a VR room where they ran various field missions with Scott as their leader. Codenamed Cyclops, he led the 'X-Men' into many battles meant to prove that they were just as beneficial to mankind as everyone else.

When he was seventeen, Beast, Angel, Marvel Girl, Iceman and Scott defeated Magneto in an air force base in Nebraska. Magneto had the goal of proving mutant superiority rather than yearning for peace as Charles had. This often led to hard contact between himself, the X-Men, and his own Brotherhood of Mutants. Rather than killing The X-Men, as he could have, instead he aimed to recruit them to his cause, seeing great potential in Scott particularly.

Honestly, Scott had seen great merits to joining Magneto's side and the more aggressive approach to asserting mutant rights. But he never did so that he wouldn't disappoint Xavier. As time went by, and as the Xavier Institute grew, Scott served as a teacher and remained leader of the X-Men. Then everything fell apart.

When Xavier died in 2012, he left the X-Men behind, unsure of what to do with himself because he believed that he could've prevented his death. Then it hit him, he'd carry on Xavier's dream, but in his own way. He'd take the more aggressive approach to defending mutant rights. Rather than hiding within the school, Scott created a team of mutants that would fight for Earth as a whole, believing that all along the X-Men had been Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Because the name X-Men signified a connection to the institute, he chose the name 'X-Tinction Team', because his new group would handle extinction level threats to any species. They also stood as a group that would rip apart an iron fist that would come down on mutants as a whole, no matter where it was in the world. He showed that mutants could be just as heroic as the Avengers. Even in the face of the incidents in 2013 and 2014, his team continues to stand firm in their course, taking great offense to the existence and use of the Sentinels.

Misc: The Extinction Team's roster consists of: Cyclops (Leader), Magick, Emma Frost, Colossus, and Gambit.
