Gemstone

| BIRTHNAME: |

Hollie Hollens

| NICKNAME(S): |

| ALIAS(ES): |

Gemstone

| SEX: |

Female

| AGE: |

20 Years

| APPEARANCE: |

Hollie stands at 5'7" with a thin composure and a fair complexion. Blonde hair and brown eyes. Prefers wearing more expensive and fashionable clothing.

| ABILITIES: |
Crystal Formation
Hollie has the ability to form a translucent white crystal structures, very similar in appearance to Quartz. This ability also includes the potential for her to coat herself entirely of this crystal for added resistance to damage, pack a stronger punch, and offer a unique interaction involving energy absorption.
Energy Absorption
While in her crystal form, and only in her crystal form, her touch can draw energy from various sources. Electricity provides the greatest amount of energy but absorbing energy from another being can yield energy. This gives Hollie a sort of Vampiric touch and allows her to drain energy from her opponents at relatively a slow rate. Another method of energy absorption can come from a sort of energy "rebate" when Hollie receives kinetic strikes (punches, bullets, etc.). Even though she may benefit from being on the receiving end of an attack, her crystal form cannot take a lot of abuse and may crack and break causing real injury to Hollie's actual form. Extra energy is needed to sustain the her crystal constructs.
Weaknesses
Outside of her crystal form, Hollie is vulnerable. It takes her awhile to build up enough energy to use her extra abilities, before that she is just armored. Her crystal form can be damaged and eventually destroyed.

| BIOGRAPHY: |

Ever since her birth she had always been destined for stardom, her mother would make sure of that. Obviously there was a reason for that. Hollie's mother was, to quote Hollie: "an old-washed up Hollywood star from the previous century". That woman thought being a star was everything and she might have meant well, but that woman forced Hollie through all the hoops involved in becoming a childhood star. Harshly controlled diets, regular acting lessons that took precedence over actual, and so on. Needless to say, it wasn't the kindest up bringing. Her father wasn't really around anymore for an unknown reason at the time. Hollie would later discover that her mother filed for divorce and managed to keep Hollie, but that was kept hush-hush for the longest time.

Anyway, Hollie eventually did become a childhood star, featured in many different TV shows and a few movies. Hollie's mother could not be more delighted but Hollie, she didn't really like it, but God forbid if she decided to quit. The "two of the were too far to quit", according to Hollie's mother. So with reluctance, Hollie continued her acting career well into her mid-teens. She was actually very promising in her trade and many predicted her to "become the next best thing". Well it was around this time that she started noticing her body behavior oddly. No, not puberty, but rather her touch was either "too strong" or "too weak" when trying to do different things. She kept quiet about it but eventually her oddity manifested in her crashing through the set with a jump. That's when Hollie first discovered her label. Mutant.

Well as it turns out, Hollywood doesn't like Mutants all that much, so she was blacklisted. Nobody wanted a Mutant in their movie, so that was that. Unfortunately, Hollie did not know how to anything other than act at this point, thanks to Mother. Speaking of which, Hollie's mother kind of ended up disowning her daughter because of that. It wasn't so much the mutant thing, it was more due to not being able to be the shining star that she wanted. That's when Hollie's father came back. He had heard the news and came to rescue his daughter. Surprisingly, Hollie's mother put up little fight. Hollie's wasn't intolerant of his daughter's kind but he didn't know how to deal with it. So he sent her to Xavier, because who else do you send your mutant kid to?

William Lockhart

"If Death comes knocking, just tell him you aren't home."

---

---

Codename:

Crossfire

Age:

Nineteen

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Heterosexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Species:

Mutant

History:

Will has not had the prettiest of lives by any means, although it wasn't always that way. Born to two mutants, Lilith and Alexander Lockhart, Will's early years were extremely happy, filled with laughter and happiness. All that came to a rather abrupt halt after the unfortunate night of October 31st, 2004, when an anti-mutant cult swept through town and killed anyone who they believed to be mutants. Miraculously, Will escaped, and was placed in foster care.

The next seven years of his life were spent in different houses, always being moved around. His tenure in the system came to an end when he was fourteen, and his powers manifested. He'd been playing with his foster brother, when his temper flared and he sent a disc of bright green, super heated energy straight through a tree. Not many people were willing to take in a young mutant with little control over his powers, and so he took his life into his own hands, and ran away.

The next five years of his life were spent on the run. He made his money from petty theft and did his best to control his powers, which worked a little, but not nearly as much as he would've liked. Latour showed up three months back, offering him a place at the school and stopping him from doing something he would've regretted, a debt that he has yet to repay.

Appearance:

Will has golden blonde hair that he keeps spiked up, out of his dark blue eyes. His mouth is always turned up in a perpetual smile, that gives him a mischievous look. His skin is lightly tanned and he's built like a runner, long and lithe. He stands at about 6'1 and weighs 165 pounds, giving him a lanky frame. He normally dresses in flannels and skinny jeans, and some might even describe his fashion sense as grungy.

Powers:

Will can absorb and manipulate energy. By drawing the cosmic energy out of the air around him, he can release it in super heated discs, that can cut through concrete pillars. When he's using his power, he has rather poor aim and control, and it's possible for him to begin shooting off energy if he becomes upset.

Personality:

Will is your typical jokester, launching off sarcastic barbs at anyone and everyone who leaves themselves open. Most of the time, he doesn't mean them to be offensive, although how they're taken doesn't really bother him. He's used to only looking out for himself and he still has some of the tendencies that come with that, mainly a disregard for other peoples thoughts and feelings. Despite this, he's a friendly person, and easy to befriend. He rarely keeps secrets, thinking that everyone should just be an open book.

Likes:

- Dogs and Cats
- Chess
- Spaghetti
- Hot Showers
- Winning
- Hanging out with friends

Dislikes:

- Snakes
- Losing
- Secrets
- Trivial Pursuit
- Anti-Mutant Protesters

Victorious - Panic! At The Disco
<sub>"Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends we're glorious
Tonight we are victorious

Oh-oh-oh,
Victorious
Oh-oh-oh

Double bubble disco queen headed to the guillotine
Skin as cool as Steve McQueen, let me be your killer king
It hurts until it stops, we will love until it's not
I'm a killing spree in white, eyes like broken Christmas lights

My touch is black and poisonous
And nothing like my punch-drunk kiss
I know you need it, do you feel it
Drink the water, drink the wine

Oh we gotta turn up the crazy
Livin' like a washed-up celebrity
Shooting fireworks like it's the Fourth of July
Until we feel alright
Until we feel alright

I'm like a scarf trick, it's all up the sleeve
I taste like magic, waves that swallow quick and deep
Throw the bait, catch the shark, bleed the water red
Fifty words for murder and I'm every one of them

My touch is black and poisonous
And nothing like my punch-drunk kiss
I know you need it, do you feel it
Drink the water, drink the wine

Oh we gotta turn up the crazy
Livin' like a washed-up celebrity
Shooting fireworks like it's the Fourth of July

Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends we're glorious
Tonight we are victorious

Tonight we are victorious
Champagne pouring over us
All my friends we're glorious

Oh we gotta turn up the crazy

[Pirouette]

@Pirouette please use the skeleton sheet provided in the first post

@Ace of flames01

Well.. I mean... What's missing? What Hollie likes and dislikes, a song, and formatting? Those can't be that vital.

@Mr_pink

Huh. Thought I had that. My mistake but I can add that no problem.

[Ace of flames01]

@Pirouette I just would prefer it that you use the format given or why else would I provide it in the first place, ya know? Another problem I have is with her powers. She has 2 of them and neither seem to tie into each other nor seem to be related to one another, thus, making her too op for my liking. I apologize if I am coming off as picky.

[Ace of flames01]

Ok! I updated my relationships again for both of my characters so feel free to check that out @smarty0114 @lokileo789

[smarty0114]

Got two of Will's relationships up :) I'll finish them off tomorrow hopefully :D

[Wintergrey]

@Ace of flames01 mind if i take a stab at making a cs?

[Ace of flames01]

@Wintergrey go for it! We need as many characters as possible!

@Ace of flames01

Do you want me to include a bunch of extra pictures and a song and stuff?

Crystal formation is powered by energy Hollie absorbs through her crystalline touch. Otherwise using her power drains her rapidly. Think of it like she needs to provide an energy upkeep in order to use her power and must find sources to power herself up. It really is more there for a check and balance instead of being op.

[Ace of flames01]

@Wintergrey I apologize as that has already been taken

@Pirouette I still don't think that is a good idea to let you have that power. It sounds too op for my liking even though it is meant for checks and balances. I'm sorry but my decision stands.

[unfallenangel]

My relationships have been updated! This is going to be so awesome!!
