None of your business

Relationship Status:

Human

Under 15's Greater London regional Fencing champion at the age of 12 and again at 14
Pilot trained in a beginners course in Personal Helicopter piloting (Is only licensed to fly civilian helicopters and with no more than 3 passengers).

History:

James was born and raised in London, England. It was a typical upbringing for someone like him. He grew up in the era of hero-worship, his hero was Captain Britain. He collected newspaper clippings of any hero. His proudest picture he collected when he was 8 years old. When he was on a bus with his parents, the bus was attacked by mutants. They were rescued by the original X-Men, he was personally saved by Hank Mccoy, A.K.A. Beast. After the danger had passed, he managed to get a picture of himself with Beast. He passed out of Secondary school with the bare minimum qualifications under his belt to get him access to the Military. His father had been a Naval officer until he was crippled when somebody accidentally set off the magazine on the ship he had been serving on. He had rushed in to help a fellow crew member out when one of the shells exploded and the shock killed the nerves in his legs.

Ever since his father had returned, he wanted to join the military. His eldest brother had was flying Gunships in Germany and his next older brother was in the Army, so he opted to join the Royal Navy, like his father. By the age of 23, he had done 3 tours abroad and put in for the application process to join the Royal Marine Commando's. After a year of training, he managed to make it through the secretive, yet grueling process. He and his squad performed several raids on terrorist cells in the middle-east. However, 6 months after he was initiated, he went on what would be his final mission. Raiding a Mosque that was supposedly the base of operations for terrorists, they instead found that it was a refuge for Mutants in the area. After finding that the people inside were innocent civilians, they were given orders to escort them back to base. The Locals had a notorious hatred of mutants. During the escort, where he was in a large truck full of them, the convoy was ambushed by super-powered individuals. The U-Men.

Captured and put into containment with the rest of the mutants, he was kept alive, only as they needed a living being to test their new powers on. For 2 grueling months, he was subject to their every whim. He was beaten, immolated, electrocuted, poisoned, shot, stabbed, impaled. They even destroyed his right eye, but they refused to let him die until he outlived his usefulness. During this time, he met a mutant by the name of Makalah. The official report of his escape is classified, but what is known is that Makalah died during the escape.

After his escape, he was sent home to blighty for debriefing. When they heard his story, he was transfered to NATO's "Supernaturally Gifted Terror Response Force" or SGTRF. Since this has gone into force, they have worked diligently all over the world to bring Mutants that work with terrorists and other forces to undermine the worlds governments, under control. Those that are young enough are transfered to Muir Island and given an audience with the heads of the Xavier Institute to see if they can assist them become productive members of society, whereas those who are too old and set in their ways are transfered to "The Petri Dish" a super-max prison, designed to hold the most dangerous mutants. He has now been assigned as a liaison with the X-Men in order to try and help prepare their new team. As much good and well trained as the SGTRF are, they are, unfortunately, unable to adequately respond to the threat of mutants that have fully mastered their powers. Beings like The U-Men and Mr Sinister have proven far too powerful for them to combat effectively.

Appearance:

James is 6'3 with short brown hair with a rather large, stocky build, typical to those in the Military. He wears an eye-patch over his right eye. Under the patch his eye is a milky white with deep tissue scarring around it. He has a tattoo on his upper arm of the Royal Marine Commando's, with his lower arms having a list of numbers, 101 through to 121. Several of them have hearts around them. He also has the name "Makalah" tattooed onto his wrist at his right forearm, with a pair of wings coming out of each end of the name, touching wingtips around the back of his wrist. He also wears a gold ring on his left hand

"Who Dares, Wins."
[*hr][*hr]

Personality:

A rather complex man, he doesn't really have any specific speaking patterns, with the exception of his excessive use of british slang. As a soldier, he likes to spend a lot of his time either in his room or in the training room, usually listening to classical music being played rather loudly... Maybe with a bit of Bowie and Queen thrown into the mix. He is also very family oriented. Every day at 3, he will slip away from whatever it is he is doing to make a quick phone-call to his parents and will take any chance to get home to see them or his brothers.

One of his natural talents that he just seems to have developed is a natural empathy. Nothing supernatural about it, but he considers himself to be a good judge of character and will figure out rather quickly if he is being lied to or if someone isn't being honest with him. Ever since his incarceration at the hands of the U-Men, he has harboured a deep hatred of them and all anti-mutant bigots. He has seen where the extreme leads to and is determined to wipe out that way of thinking. He also doesn't like bullies, so also harbours a deep hatred of mutants that use their powers to push others around and is quick to make this known.

Likes:

Classical Music (Especially when played on Vinyl. If you let him play his mix tape, it is a Vinyl filled to the brim with Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Holst and Bach.)
Haggis (It's ground pig gut and corn, boiled in a sheeps bladder. What's not to love?)
BAE Systems (They make such lovely guns. Guarenteed to never fall apart and give you many years of trouble-free maiming.)
Tattoo's (He adorns his body with momento's of the most important parts of his life.)
Classic Video Games (Gimme an Amstrad or a ZX Spectrum or a Commadore 64 over any of these newfangled Xbox's anyday.)
Classic vehicles (From the sleek British sports saloons like the Aston Martin DB5 and Jaguar E-type to big American muscle cars like the Dodge Charger and Ford Mustang, or even as far back as the Ford Model-T and Crossley 18/50, he is a fan of almost every kind of car from before 1990. He has a special place in his heart for the Lamborghini Countach. But, he also has a love of steam trains and would easily say that Sir Nigel Gresley is one of his heroes.)

Dislikes:

U-Men (Bastards made me spend 2 months as a living punching bag, before killing my best friend)
Sourkraut (Tastes like ass)
American Football (Why do you call it Football, when you play the game primarily with your hands? It's like Rugby, only you sissy's need armour to play.)
War Video games (Way too samey. You shoot a guy, you move on, you shoot another guy, you move on. Gimme something like Bubble-Bobble any day.)
Dubstep (It sounds like 56k modem, violently throwing up.)

W.I.P.

[Damo021]

Everything is done for one of my characters, but I am stumped on a song right now lol

[Royzooka]

@AcerRo Wait why is he being assy to her? She did not ask him anyway, even if the word teamwork came up. I know how to turn that sour puss into a purring puss, Christie will challenge him to a game of drink [Battle Shots or something fun]. Her healing factor will come in handy making it harder or take longer for her to get pissed. I am sure the healing factor has some effect.

They will both see dancing bananas before too long.

[Damo021]

@Royzooka Those banana's are distracting lol

[Royzooka]

@Damo021 I could have gone the pink elephant route but that would have been just as distracting. Also, it looks somewhat more lively, right?

[Damo021]

@RoyzookaDitto.

He he, Also have character one ready now :P

[Chao]

@Ace of flames01 So, eh what should I do for an opening post? I can't think of anything.

[Chao]

@Ace of flames01 I'll make a relationships tab when I get to know all the characters. That okay?

[Ace of flames01]

@Chaotic Chao Hmm good question.... I'll have to think about that.... and yeah that's fine :)

@mattmanganon the only problem I have is the fact that you chose a guy who is 56 years old as a face claim that is meant to be over half that age. I would really prefer it if you did change it because regardless of the age of his face claim, he looks no where near 25 years old. Also the "eye patch" really isn't settling well with me. You can keep the fact that he lost an eye if you want too it's just I don't think that the technology included into its current design would be even created yet as the thread is taking place in modern times. Please have those changed and I will look at it again.

19

Female

Bisexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Species:

Homo Superior-Mutant

History:

Aaliyah was originally born in Toronto, Canada and was the youngest of two siblings with her being the only girl, Both her birth parents are Canadian, Her current step-father is American. At the age of four the family was split when her birth parents split up with the father leaving the mother to look after herself and the two children. Although the years were tough, Aaliyah mother was soon into another relationship with a guy from America, It all seemed to good to be true when they decided to marry and by the time Liya was eight years old, They made the move to live in America and settled in Florida. She grew up under the watchful eyes of her brother who was protective of his younger sister as he for some reason didn't take to well to having to move.

Life was pretty normal for the most part for Aaliyah as she was getting a good normal upbringing, However her brother was getting in trouble by causing arguments within the household, This was compounded by the fact their step-father was hardly home because of his work, Aaliyah was enrolled into the girl scouts at the time. It was not long before her teenage years that the first evidence of Aaliyah's abilities when her parents were arguing, This really upset and annoyed the girl, It caused the area to have heavy rain which eventually intensified into a thunderstorm, It remained quite consistent unaware it was her actually causing it until her older brother came and spent some hours with Liyah convincing the young child everything was going to be okay, This cheered her up causing the thunderstorms to stop, But the rain persisted for several days after and only within a few miles of her location.

From this moment on the rest of Aaliyah's child and teenage years were plagued with troubles. Although her brother got his life on track, He continued to get into arguments and the odd fight with their step-father for not spending as much time with the family as he should, The later buried himself further into his work leaving liyah feeling more and more disconnected when she needed her family most when her powers was manifesting more pressing her need to adapt fast to the changes, Her Mother did the best she could to care and love her children but it was taking its toll, Aaliyah tried to channel her aggression once when she got into a fight with her step-father, arguing, when she was angry at him, a hailstorm demolished his car. Her brother had enough and had his suspicions of his younger sister, But in her excitment of wanting to show of her abilities to him, She confimed his suspicions when she made it snow in the midle of summers day and has never really recited or told others of this.

Aaliyah had a big scare when she was almost diagnosed with diabetes from the doctors, Fortunately it was only a scare but it was certainly enough for her to a few little changes to what she ate and drink, Aaliyah was eventually caught after being attacked by the Equalists, But before being subdued after her family was threatened. She managed to knock a few members of the group back with a strong wind and struck another with Lightning, Injuring but not killing the Individual. The fight was responsible for a powerful storm in Miami, reports came in as causing major damage and injuries which baffling many at the time leaving more questions than answers.

Appearance:

Aaliyah has long wavy black hair with a blue and purple tints at the front, It falls to shoulder length just draping over her shoulders, She prefers to wear it freely but may at times tie it up. Aaliyah stands roughly at 5''4 with a figure of 34-24-34 and weigthing roughly 115lbs, Although it is rude to ask a girl her weight. Liyah has small cheeks, a medium size nose, hands, and ears with delicate slightly over average size lips, With easy to get lost into chocolatey eyes and a brown skin complexion. Typically Aaliyah likes to wear black high heel or standard combat boots, Black or blue Jeans or short jeans with short sleeve blouses, off shoulder and crop tops with at times black leather or denim jackets.

Liyah likes to keep herself in good condition by working out but she is by no means under or overweight, Aaliyah is a attractive individual depending on ones personal taste but has a good feminine figure. Although she wont let it get to her head or think of herself being perfect in any way, She's toned to the point of being lightly muscled yet there’s no mistaking she does have some curves in the right places. Aaliyah also has a tattoo with it going from her Right shoulder blade and making it's way down her back.

Powers:

Atmokinesis - Often referred as Weather manipulation by some, Aaliyah has the psionic ability to sense, Create, Shape and control the weather in its various forms like Meteorological patterns and temperature changes thus creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog/mist, blizzards, thunderstorms, tornado's and more while supposedly being able to dissipate weather to clear skies. Although Aaliyah has yet to exhibit or show all of her mutations various uses, The potential is there. However some of this potential is shown, Having good enough control over her power so far to use it in highly concentrated areas like inside a room and naturally of course outside in her immediate vicinity effecting weather up to a few miles around her, potentially more.

Aaliyah's Psionic power of atmokinesis can also be effected by her emotions, One consequence of this connection to nature is her emotional state could results in violent weather where her ability could manifest unintentionally depending on her mood at the time where a thunderstorm could form in response to extreme feelings of rage or fear. Liyah can also aim lightning from thunderstorms and or from herself by channelling ambient electromagnetism through her body to generate lightning at others with the added potential of putting this into atmokinetic combat as Liyah is a capable hand to hand fighter but not trained, She has not shown evidence of being able to livitate or fly thus far and her mutation does have natural limits of her body plus other factors of distance, mass, precision are dependent upon the knowledge, skill and strength of Aaliyah which can effect her ability to generate the weather effects.

Personality:
Aaliyah is a sweet but tough kind of girl with a can do attitude that can get jobs done; either dirty, hard, or easy. A confident and Fearless individual who would use a tough-girl role as a defensive tool to keep strangers at a safe distance. She is determined, stubborn, brave and at times, foolish. Aaliyah tries to keep a strong idea of what is good and wrong but that does not always work out, she isn't the type to make friends fast, To her trust takes time and shouldn't be something fast to toss around in the current world. Liyah loves her music and is as likely to listen to metal music as she is calm, just depends on what she feels like listening to at the time and may even sing to it when she is in her own world. The Canadian lass likes keeping active but is also likely to be seen on the sofa feet up drawing, Yep surprisingly she likes to draw to.

Aaliyah is comfortable in telling people exactly how she feels, Not hesitating to speak her mind on certain subjects, She wont beat around the bush either which has often in the past got herself into conflicts because of it. Liyah is an approachable person and considers herself kind, open and honest, She is quite wary knowing more than she lets on, Liyah can be aggressive having a fiery temper when in a foul mood, But don't let her flaws fool you, She can have a laugh, be friendly and Sympathetic to others capable of giving second chances and do random acts of weirdness. Liyah is the type however that is completely loyal to those who do right by her, She can become highly protective over those she deems closest to her, Willing to go as far as risk herself to do what she can for them when in need.

Superheroes - The Script
<sub>"All the life she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet's dream
For a profit on the street

Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power

When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power."</sub>

@Ace of flames01 That was a headshot picture of him when he did The Young Ones, aged 24. So, I thought it was ok.

[Ace of flames01]

@mattmanganon like I said that guy has got city miles on him. He does NOT look like he is 25, he looks like he is in his 40's somewhere
