History

Why did you join X-Factor?: She was approached five months ago, after the military contractor that had made her in the first place turned on her, and tried to shut her down. She didn't have any other options really to go from there. So she accepted and joined Serval Industries, she didn't really do to much during what happened at the gala that Serval had going on, she was out of the building at the time when it all happened as well.

General History: Caitlin was originally born and raised in New York City with her parents. Her mother was a high school teacher while her father was a police officer for the NYPD, she had a pretty normal life for the most part being very smart as well. Caitlin got really good grades and she was really good in her math and science classes. She didn't have to many friends, Caitlin when she graduated eventually decided to join the military out of boredom and wanted to do something interesting.

She was eventually deployed out to somewhere in the Middle East, where her vehicle hit an IED which caused her vehicle to explode. Killing everyone, she barely survived when a private military contractor ended up finding her, with some of the best medical experts around they ended up replacing her with cybernetics to keep her alive. When she came to she had no memory of who she was, and then they ended up giving her a new name as well and a false story to.

They ended up giving her going on missions privately assassinating targets, she eventually had a contract up in New York where she ended up bumping into her mother. Who tried to talk to her after thinking that she was dead, and ended up ignoring her. Casey continued to go on her own mission until it was done, and when she returned and confronted them about it.

They tried to shut her down and wipe her memory of what had happened and tried to start again Casey ended up fleeing and has been on the run ever since, and having to live on the streets for sometime now as well. She did just about anything she could to stay low until she ended up being approached by Serval with their job offer, which she accepted wanting some extra protection.

Eyes:

Dark Honey Brown.

Hair:

Light Brunette / Dirty Blonde.

Skin Tone:

Olive.

Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:

Pierced Ears, though rarely wears any earrings.

Personal Style:

The best description for Jo's fashion sense is gender-fluid. She easily and often switches from feminine dresses and rompers to masculine leather jackets, jeans, and boots. One could hardly say she's resigned into any one style of clothing. While, despite what she might say, she does care a great deal how she looks but simply hasn't found a singular aesthetic that really fits how she feels she wants to display herself. So she has an amalgamation of styles at her disposal she can draw from depending on how she's feeling at any given moment. As for makeup and accessories she's rather minimalist. She isn't for flashy or eye catching. So she rarely wears any accessories, save for her locket, and maybe a simple bracelet at times. With makeup she adheres to a less is more approach; favoring natural tones that mask any blemishes and highlight certain features without being too obvious. Though 60% of the time she doesn't wear any makeup.

Psychology

Kind * Insecure * Intelligent/Scholarly * Hesitant * Observant/Reserved * Distrusting1

Sexuality:

Lesbian. Hesitant to disclose that information.

Relationship Status:

Single.

Personality:

While Jo may appear kind and giving she always has a thought in the back of her mind that the person can't be ultimately trusted. This leads to her often keeping personal details about herself close to the chest; though she will readily offer an ear to anyone. Jo is a self proclaimed confidant and aptly able to keep a secret. Harboring her own secrets, keeping others is quite easy for her. From this she has become rather adept at hiding behind emotional masks.

Beyond Jo's willingness to listen and help those in need she is most often found quietly kept to herself. She likes to spend her time either studying or practicing her spellcraft/runecrafting. When put in situations where studying or practicing isn't available she would often be found off in the corner, her eyes scanning across the room and intently listening to the happenings around her. She isn't much for speaking up unless addressed directly. While very intelligent for her age she also knows how little she knows about a great many things outside of her passions; this coming from a deep seeded insecurity of appearing unintelligent or ignorant.

Habits:

Smoking Cigarettes - Nervous Fidgeting (Biting her lips / Bouncing her leg / tapping her fingers on tabletops)

Hobbies:

Reading. Drawing.

Fears:

• Public Speaking.
• Pitch black areas.
• Loss of control. Being Bound entirely.

Likes:

• Magic.
• Menthol Cigarettes.
• Sweets.
• Practicing / Learning Magic.

• Doodling.

• Very Spicy food.
• Being tricked / Dishonest people.
• Being without nicotine or caffeine for extended periods of time.
• Ignorance.
• Being late for things / being held up from getting somewhere.

History

Why did you join X-Factor?:

Jo was approached by Serval Industries shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Apparently she has been on their watch list for Lord knows how long. While there wasn't anything particularly spectacular about Jo's abilities she was using them for less than saintly purposes. Free meals, lodging, etc. Nothing inherently evil though unjust. When approached she was given an ultimatum; Join the X-Factor and use and develop her powers for good or a detention center.

It was an easy decision, though primarily as a means to further progress in her studies of magic.

General History:

-- Childhood --

Jolene Martha Meyers was born a normal girl in a normal family to a Pastor father and Elementary School Teacher mother in a small town in New York. The town only had the one church that her father lead, so most people knew the family very closely. Nearly the entire congregation visited baby Jolene after she was born, gushing over the perfect family precious little blessing.

-- Youth --

Young Jolene was recently turned fifteen years old, still in the same small town, going to the same church her father lead. Jolene having the pressures of her parents image crushing down on her shoulders. Needing to look prim and pristine at all times. Not deter from her path. Do as she is told. Follow the teachings of the bible. The whole deal. It felt like every morning before she left the house she had to take a test. Her clothes modest, her hair and makeup done perfect, her attitude in check, and everything in proper order. Everyone in town knew her and her family, and if there were any slip ups or mistakes it would find its way to her parents and she would catch hell.

One day after school she was out looking through the local strip mall with her closest friend, Layla Kline. Layla was considered by the town a trouble maker, but Jolene convinced her parents she was trying to get Layla back on the right path. In truth Jolene loved spending time with Layla because she was everything Jolene wasn't allowed to be. It was exciting just being around someone with such little cares in the world; such a innocent spirit that let her desires guide her.

While Jolene and Layla were out walking around the strip mall they came across a small book shop she had crossed hundreds of times in her short life. But something was different this time. Something drew attention to it. Something strong enough she couldn't help herself but go in. She followed the pull through the store towards the back wear a few boxes lay, opened though filled with books not yet shelved.

Jolene began to carefully pull books out of the box, Layla asking what she was looking for though Jolene hardly heard her. There it was, pulling a book away from the middle and near the bottom and old looking book with partially faded letters resided. She picked it up in her slender fingers and looked over it carefully. Like a mother over her new born child. She had to have it. Jolene looking back up to Layla with an innocent smile. "I've been looking everywhere for this book." she lied. Layla laughing and shaking her head in a facade of not caring. She quickly paid for the book and ended the day with Layla to go immediately home.

-- The Rise --

Over the next six months Jolene read from cover to cover at least a dozen times. It was a book about Magic. Most scholars would say it was a book on the myths of magic and how ancient civilizations 'practiced' magic. But it was real. After her second time reading through it she decided to try one. A seemingly simple one. A sleep spell. It took her a few tries to get the words and gestures right, but when it succeeded she instantly collapsed into unconsciousness, sleeping nearly twelve hours before waking again. She was in thrilled disbelief. This was real. This whole book was real. She needed to tell someone, anyone, just not her parents or anyone who would tell her parents. So that left only one person, Layla. Jolene fumbled with her phone in excitement to text her to come over as soon as possible.

Layla thought Jolene was crazy at first, until Jolene created a small flame floating above her palm out of thin air.

For weeks they spent nearly every day together at an old playground no one visited anymore; covered in vines and moss. It was perfect and discreet. Layla tried to do the magic within the book but it never worked for her, only Jolene. Jolene had a strange connection to it Layla simply didn't. Though Layla didn't seem to mind too terribly much, as long as she was there along for the ride. Over this time Jolene filled notebooks upon notebooks with notes and tips to help remind her the small nuances she learned from day to day with magic. Practicing drawing small runes the book particularly emphasized on.

Layla and Jolene became incredibly close during this time, Jolene getting her nickname Jo from the other. Jo recounts the times as the two being inseparable. During this time Jo got her first kiss, and more. She learned who she truly was. Who she always was, who she was always hiding from everyone. Their romance a wildfire that pushed magic aside for a time.

-- The Fall --

One morning Jo was angrily shaken awake in the morning by her father. Him yelling something unintelligible to her drowsy mind. She quickly sat up, fearing the worst that her parents found out about her and Layla. As her mind cleared and she was finally able to understand the words and noticed the book he was displaying her heart sank. He found her book of magic. He yelled at her for practicing witch craft, the devil, etc etc. He was a whirlwind of anger and nearly to the point of striking her there in the bed. Most of the words have faded over time, though the bite at her heart from his anger still clings to her to this day.

Before she knew it he proclaimed he would fix her. Like she was broken, shattered and nearing worthless. And he would start by burning this heretical book of lies and demonology. He stormed out of her room and down stairs towards their fire place. Jo running after him pleading with him to stop and to listen and understand it wasn't evil. It was beautiful. But he heard none of it. WIthout hesitation he threw the book into the flame, though Jo didn't hesitate either. She rushed past him and pulled the book from the flames, burning her fingers in the act. She spun to face him, arms clung tight around the book defensively. He stared at Jo with fire in his eyes before raising a hand and striking it across her cheek with enough force to send her stumbling across the room and crashing into the couch. She faced him again, her eye bloodshot from the force though she didn't hold her cheek; they remained tight around the book. He then told her no devil worshiping witch would live in his home and told her it was the book or her that was leaving.

Jo hesitated, but quickly bolted off the couch and out of the house. She went to the only place she could think of, Layla's house. She knocked frantically on the door and when Layla finally opened the door she explained everything. Asking if she could stay with her and her dad, but she sadly refused. In truth Layla did this to protect Jo, she knew who her father truly was and Jo wouldn't have been safe there either. But Jo thought Layla also abandoned her, and before Layla could explain she ran off. Layla calling out for her to stop and wait, but Jo ignored the calls.

-- Present Day --

For over the past two years Jo had been living on her own in New York City. Using her magic to influence others to help her survive. Giving her free lodging, giving her free meals, etc. Stay as long as she could in one place before she had to move around again within the city. She abandoned her old life. Her old bonds. Refusing to build other bonds that could ultimately be torn apart and leave her abandoned again. She was surviving. Looking for new knowledge in magic, though she found hardly anything in this time. A few small books on rudimentary magic and the like. Nothing like her first book that she keeps with her to this day.

Okay, so few things...

• Her age is off, have her born in 1998 and it'll be fixed (since currently we are at the very beginning of 2018)
• Skills wise, should just be labelled as Self-Defense and Basic Firearms.
• Personal style is meant to be a few sentences, not just one. It can be about the different types of clothes they tend to wear, how they do their hair, things like that.
• Of course need to finish up with the history section

That's all! Tagged me once you've finished the CS, we'll be glad to have you!

@BlueSky44

• if we're in december of 2017, nov 23rd 1999 would mean she had just turned 18 last month. I genuinely hope that doesn't come off rudely, truly not my intention. I might honestly be wrong, I am pretty sick currently. But if you wouldn't mind checking the date again to double check so we're both on the same page I will happily take your recommendation.
• Will adjust accordingly. :)
• Ohh! I am terribly sorry. I thought you were going for a little like "sound byte synopsis" of their style. I will fix that once I get back to it to finish the history section! <3
• Can't wait! I have all that info kinda cliff-noted in my head currently so once I have the time to sit down and write it up I will. <3 ^-^

Daryn, is quite often found smiling, even when things are gloomy. Throughout his life he has maintained a positive demeanour, always trying to find the best in things.

However, Daryn doesn’t usually mind, he tends to accept people and things as they are. A by-product of this simple worldview is that Daryn isn’t very perceptive to what is going on around him, leading to him being awkward in a lot of social encounters. Daryn is becoming more aware of this, but he has no idea how to deal with it.

As Daryn makes friends easy, he also will step up immediately to defend him. Sometimes he gets the notion that he is a knight in shining armour, one who shall defend the innocent and punish the guilty. This worldview has contributed to his desire to become a superhero. It also made him see the world in black and white, seeing most people as all good or all evil. Needless to say this has caused him to been manipulated throughout his life. Yet somehow he is still willing to look for the best in people.

History

Why did you join X-Factor?:
Daryn mainly joined X-Factor because he thought that he could do more. As an independent hero, he found that he was not accomplishing much in the way of making the world safer. He thought with a team he could make more a difference. The other major reason was the financial compensation. Daryn had a hard time providing for his son, something that infuriated him to no end. Not wanting to be a dead beat dad, Daryn was willing to try anything to be there for his son.

General History:
Daryn was born the second child of Lucas and Billie Reid, in the city of Spokane, Washington. Daryn would only live there for two months before moving. His mother Billie had a job that required the family to relocated a lot, causing Daryn to have trouble making friends as a kid. The only person he was close to was his older brother Peter, as they were less than two years apart in age. One thing that was constant throughout the brothers’ youth was a love of video games and sports. It wasn’t too long before Peter joined a basketball team, while Daryn joined a football team.

Daryn quickly found that being a student athlete made it easier for him to connect with others, something he had been missing out on. Another thing he found out was that he was different than his fellow students. It began with spoons being bent out of shape, then progressed to warping the faucet on the sink. It quickly dawned on Daryn that he was a mutant. He was initially fearful of anyone finding out, swearing to never use his powers. For a few months he was able to hide his powers, never using them consciously.

That changed one day when Daryn was crossing the street, when a drunk driver came barrelling toward him. Acting on instinct, Daryn used his powers the repel the metal of the car back, saving his life. Unbeknown to Daryn, his brother had seen the whole incident. The next day, his parents sat Daryn down to talk about his powers. However, they weren’t angry, just accepting. They didn’t care that one son was human and the other a mutant. This revelation took a heavy weight off Daryn’s shoulders.

It was around this time that he began seeing a girl named Rita, with things getting pretty serious. Shortly after the start of that relationship the Avengers first appeared, repelling an alien invasion. This caused Daryn to get the idea in his head to become a superhero himself. Daryn then created the alter ego of the Blacksmith, hero to his local city.. He had only been patrolling the city for about a month when he got life-changing news. Rita was pregnant. Daryn immediately dedicated himself to being a father. Things were fine until a few months into the pregnancy, when Rita discovered the truth of Daryn’s alter ego. The ensuing confrontation led to Rita leaving Daryn.

Daryn then graduated high school, before moving onto college for computer programming. However, right before he was supposed to begin college, his son Jackson was born. Daryn did all he could to support his son, while also balancing school and heroics. Daryn somehow made it work, graduating from college, only to find poor job prospects. This led him to pursuing more independent projects, all the while struggling with child care payments. Add on to that a growing dissatisfaction over what he was accomplishing as the Blacksmith, led Daryn to a low point. Luckily for him, a job offer appeared, one for Serval Industries’ superhero team. Naturally, Daryn immediately agreed.

Why it’s important to post once a week?

As for the whole posting at least once a week thing, I believe it is prudent to help create and maintain a flow to the roleplay that improves the experience for the players. Without such a requirement roleplays tend to get bogged down in waiting, which causes players to lose interest, eventually killing a roleplay. But with a post a week, players are continually engaged and invested in the story, allowing a roleplay to carry on.

Ok, just one thing I can really see...
Who is she apprenticed to? It says she's an apprentice to?
If you mean that she's still learning to be a sorcerer and still learning magic, just put sorcerer and then in parenthesis or something that she's still learning to make things a little easier to read.

Other then that she's good to move over!

@BlueSky44

Oh, I was more referencing level of skill than position :P

While she has become nearly masterful of what she has learned from her Book she knows (or rather has a strong belief) there is so much more out there that magic can do that she's simply not learned/experienced yet. She has a large understanding of magic and magic-theory though simply hasn't had the opportunity to learn from a Master or Find the books she would need to implement her knowledge of the practice.

Her knowledge of Magic primarily resides in Runecrafting and implementation. The book taught her a few spells outside of Runes though minimally in comparison. She has an extreme desire to learn more practical magic.

Will adjust accordingly :)

Spell Repository

Spells:

Orbis Luminis
_{Within a flowing circling of her arms Jo pulls magical light out of the air, condensing it into a floating disk that covers about the size of her abdomen. Jo can manipulate this sturdy disks of condensed light freely within a six foot radius around herself. These disks can be thrown beyond her six foot radius; Though they follow their path up until twenty feet from Jo before dissipating. She can have, currently, no more than 2 disks created at any one time.
NOTE: Jo can create these disks without the proper gesture, though they aren't nearly as sturdy.}

Solaris Mico
_{Jo creates a hand cage over her chest and focuses for a short period of time. Generating magical light within the hand cage and condenses it into a tightly bound ball of Magical Light Energy. Once created she slams the Condensed Magical Light orb into her chest and immediately thrusts her arms out to either side. A rapid, violent light scorches through her entirety until it completely covered her in a blinding flash of light. All those that do not divert their gaze in time become disoriented and blinded for a period of time.
NOTE: This process takes about 30 seconds to come to completion and is very physically taxing for Jo; As the condensed Magical Light basically tears through her body in the process.}

Ignis
_{With this Jo can create a small flame floating above her palm. This only really serves as a replacement lighter at this time.}

Somnum
_{A sleep spell. Though Jo has yet to figure out how to use this on others. It has only put her to sleep instantaneously. She is incredibly embarrassed of this and will tell NO ONE she knows this spell. Period.}

Runecraft:

Protect Mind
_{Simple mind protection rune. Placed on an item and powered will lay dormant until activated by a mental attack against the possessor of the runed item. Once activated it will feel as if your brain is being clenched in a vice, and the protection only lasts 3 minutes long. This Rune will protect its owner from powers of any degree of supernatural mental attack. It will not effect poisons, toxins, or drugs that effect mental faculties.}

Stasis Lock
_{Once drawn and activated will put whatever object, person, or thing into a state of complete stasis. This effect lasts until broken or up to one full hour. Best used on injured targets needing additional time to get help. This Rune requires a great deal of concentration and is not suitable in a combat setting as of yet.}

Influence
_{A rune drawn on a person makes them an influencer, after the rune is powered the Influencer would than touch another person with the rune marking, connecting the two. The touched becomes the Influenced, being easily influenced by the Influencer. This effect lasts up to twenty-four hours (depending on the willpower of the bound) and diminishing over that time. Ranging from completely agreeable to vaguely agreeable as it reaches its completion. There can only be one Influencer and one Influenced pairing at any given time. No one Influencer can have two Influenced.}

Primal Berserking
_{A large, intricate Rune drawn on a large piece of paper she places on the bare skin of the upper back of a person. With an activation spell the paper ignites and sears the Rune onto the skin. Once the rune is seared to the skin Jo has to enchant the Rune with energy. Once completed it put the wielder of the Rune into a state of frenzy, losing their mind in exchange for equivalent power. The more they let their mind slip the more power they get.
NOTE: The limited practice she has with this rune in practice she can only sustain the rune for 10 minutes. Though the target can retain hold of it in a worse case scenario, continuing to pull energy from Jo against her will. Potentially fatal for Jo if she can't keep control of the power flow. And the more the target mind slips the less they are aware who their enemies are. This Rune DOES NOT need to be written on paper, it can be drawn directly on the skin but takes a considerable amount of time and focus. The Rune would still sear to the skin once activated.}

Bolster
_{Organic Material - If used on a person this rune will increase their physical and metaphysical capabilities by double their current maximum limit. This Functions as Jo becoming a Conduit of energy that pulls from her magical reserves into another to increase their abilities. Depending on the amount pulled from her dictates how long she can keep the rune functional. The maximum degree the target is capable of is directly correlated with how much of her energy it pulled over time. Those with already high capabilities will pull more than those with low capabilities. Though this also infers a greater yield with those with the higher capabilities.
Inorganic Material - If placed upon an inorganic object it will greatly improve its strength. Making a cardboard box as strong as oak, stone as strong as steel.}

Tracking
_{A rune placed on a small object that emits a pull on the designated tracker. A Tracker Rune would have to be placed on a person that feels the pull of the tracking rune.}

Soul-Bond
_{A marriage ritual and Runic bond between two people. This process requires a very intimate ritual and body markings. This process is primarily done in Ancient Nordic Marriages to bind the souls of betrothed together for eternity. This rune allows the two to connect on a intensely personal level, able to feel a small degree of what the other feels no matter the distance between them.
NOTE: Jo does not tell people of this Rune/Ritual.}

Sacred Lands
_{Incredibly powerful and taxing rune to perform. Jo would spill her charcoal ink onto the ground and slam her hand into the pool of ink. With an incantation the ink spreads out over a fifteen foot radius around Jo and forms a intricate runic circle. Once formed Jo blasts the runic circle with her own Life Essence, activating the rune. Once activated all within the runic circle will feel a rush of restorative energy healing wounds and restoring strength, vegetation rapidly growing within the circle.
NOTE: This spell is INCREDIBLY dangerous for Jo and she is insanely hesitant to ever use it. One miscalculation in the amount of life force she pushes into the Runic Circle could tear her apart from the inside; At present she doesn't have the practice in this rune to perfectly dictate the flow of her own life force into it. It is tremendously taxing and will only EVER be used as a last resort.}

[Eviledd1984]

I am interested in this roleplay, Would their be room for one more? I was thinking about making a hero with weapon creation powers that also has multiple personalities?

[BlueSky44]

@Eviledd1984

Hi there, I'm glad to see that you are interested!
However, I don't think this RP would be a good fit for you, considering your application to one of our RPs in the past.
Not to mention someone with multiple personalities just would not fit in this RP and likely never would have gotten hired by a corporation who created the team for publicity. Someone like that is way to unpredictable for this sort of thing at all.
Best of luck to you in the future though!

Character Summary

Name: Arthur Harrison Twist
Aliases: the Hood
Age: 27
Birthday: September 9th, 1990
Birth Place: Alexandria, Virginia
Gender: Male
Powers/Special Skill Set: Master Archer
Editorial Nickname: the Rogue Archer
Alignment: Chaotic Good
How long have they been with X-Factor?: N/A

Appearance

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 181 Ilbs
Build: Muscular and Athletic
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dirty Blonde
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Numerous scars all over his body, some small some large. Tattoo of a star on his chest.
Personal Style: Before being stranded on Krakoa, Arthur would always wear relatively nice clothes - not too nice, though, since he was typically going off to some elite party to get wasted. Since the island, though, things have changed. He likes to wear his combat attire at all times, finding that it has become something of a second skin for him. It's his armor and he is waging a war to avenge the father that he never knew, after all. It's different when he works out however - he does that shirtless, hating the way the sweat causes the fabric of the shirt to stick to his body.

Psychology

Funny * Brooding * Dedicated * Wrathful * Intelligent * Stubborn

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: While Arthur has changed a great deal in the last five years, one thing has remained the same - he always assumes that he is right and everyone else is wrong. He can rationalize to no end his motivations and choices, giving himself the moral high ground even if he is really no different than any other vigilante out there in the world. He does not accept the limitations of reality, working tirelessly to find a way to push through them. There is no changing his mind, no stopping him... The only way that he will really see the error in his ways is if the consequences catch up to him. Even then, the process of learning and maturing can be long and difficult.

Despite the tragedy of his life, Arthur is a rather funny individual. He has a good sarcastic wit, as well as just being humorous in general - Die Hard is his favorite Christmas movie for example. He has been known to pull the occasional prank or two, usually against his friends. Those are the people that Arthur can really let his guard down again, to regain some semblance of the man he used to be before Krakoa forced him to change in order to survive. He's battling with that inner darkness every moment of his life and for now, he's given it a direction - to avenge his father's death.

His deepest fear is what he could become one day without that goal - what darkness he may bring to the world...

Maybe he should have died on Krakoa.

History

Why did you join X-Factor?: Arthur has yet to join the X-Factor team. He has been tracking down the Sisterhood ever since learning that they were responsible for the deaths of his friends and his father, as well as stranding him on Krakoa for years. They ruined his life and they need to pay - he needs to bring those murderers to justice. So far, Arthur is almost certain that Rae Gardner is a significant player in the Sisterhood, especially since she was named CEO of Serval Industries. It's only a matter of time until he puts an arrow between her eyes.

General History: Arthur's mother was the CFO of Serval Industries since its founding. She had gone to college with Harrison Snow and the two of them were rather close, with Snow even being the Best Man at her wedding. Of course, the closeness between them went deeper than the public realized, as the two of them carried on an extramarital affair that resulted in baby Arthur. No one knew the truth, with the exception of Snow's personal attorney as Arthur was written into the will. This small action would have large repercussions later on in Arthur's life.

Arthur was sent to boarding school for his education, attending McClaine Academy in Massachusetts. His social circle consisted entirely of the wealthy elite and like privileged boys, they abused their freedom. He and his best friend got a reputation for being able to smuggle anything back to the academy - drugs, booze, condoms, porn, if you could make it worth their while then they would bring it back. This resulted in his near expulsion as a rising senior, only for his parents to make a well timed donation to the school in order to continue his enrollment (the Twist Performing Arts Center to be specific).

His playboy, partying antics continued in college. He attended three different colleges, each of them as a business major. His parents insisted that he had to go, but he kept on being thrown out for poor academic progress - he just couldn't be bothered to go to class, preferring to party. He spent more nights in the drunk tank for disorderly conduct than he ever did inside his dorm room. All of that changed when he was twenty two. Arthur and his friends had purchased a yacht with plans to sail it to Hawaii. The first few days of the trip were smooth sailing, but at midnight on the fifth day there was a tragic accident, resulting in the death of everyone onboard. Arthur was the only one to survive, clinging to a piece of driftwood for days before making it to an island for shelter.

Only this was hardly any ordinary island - the island's name was Krakoa. The island itself was alive, formidable enough that not even the X-Men dared to venture there. Arthur was forced to grow up and to learn to survive on its harsh shores, searching through the belongings of others who had died on the island in order to get weapons and supplies. The first weapon he found was a bow and it was fortunate that he had some natural talent with it, or he would have never survived.

It was five years until he managed to signal another ship for help and escape Krakoa. When he returned to the United States, he realized that he had been declared legally dead - and more importantly, he discovered that his shipwreck hadn't been an accident. It had been orchestrated by a mysterious organization called the Sisterhood, as an attempt to prevent him from inheriting his father's company and fortune. He didn't even know until then that Snow was his father. And unfortunately, it was too late - Snow had been murdered and Arthur didn't need proof to know who was responsible.

His mission ever since had been to avenge his father's death - to end the Sisterhood.

Psychology

Intuitive * Blunt * Loyal * Reserved * Empathic * Tense

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single, but mingling
Personality:
When someone meets Elara, she appears to be a normal, albeit quiet person. Once they get to know her more, they see many sides to her. First, there’s the side that is always in her head. The one that is silent and always needs to be doing something to relax. Then the side that feels emotions very strongly, whether its in defense of another or just trying to get her point across Elara is always there to speak up. Deep down inside, Elara is actually a warm, inviting person. It just takes a bit of time to reveal itself.

Elara is always thinking. She often needs to calm her mind, which is why she either reads, runs, hikes, or tinkers with brainteasers. While she isn’t the smartest in the room, she often relies on her mind to tell her what to do instead of her emotions. It is only when others are in danger that her emotions take over.

Elara feels very strongly about the safety of others, and it’s the main reason she continues to use her abilities. She is always ready to defend those who cannot defend themselves even if it means putting herself at risk. She easily relates to those that are suffering, and will always care for others in her own quiet way.

Unfortunately she is quite blunt when she speaks her mind, as little as she does. If she needs to get her point across, she will say exactly whats on her mind. Otherwise, she normally keeps her thoughts to herself.

Her sister was always the one to remind her to relax and to open up herself. Since losing Elyse it has been hard for Elara to open up, which is why she focuses on work or exercises to release tension. She has slowly learned to live without her sister, and hopes that one day she will act a little more like Elyse did. Helping others in need has eased her mind and given her a purpose since that day, and it has helped her grow into a stronger woman.

Habits: Whenever Elara feel's anxious or worries, she always rubs the scar on the back of the neck; she also is unable to sit still and must pace or do something with her hands.
Hobbies: Running, Reading, People Watching, Puzzles
Fears:

• To be helpless when others are in danger
• To be trapped/unable to move
• Speeding Cars

Likes:

• Rain
• Hiking
• Watching the sunrise
• Coffee
• Mind Puzzles
• Lazy Mornings
• Bonfires
• Whiskey

Dislikes:

• Being Cold
• Bullies
• Getting her socks wet
• When someone is standing/hovering over her
• Being wrong
• Cars

History

Why did you join X-Factor?: Elara believes that her abilities manifested for a purpose. After spending a few years fighting crime with her abilities, she has decided to become a part of the larger picture. She hopes to help as many people as possible, and if Serval Industries can help her do that she is willing to do as she’s told.

General History: To grow up in San Diego felt like a never-ending vacation to Elara. She still had responsibilities like school and chores, but homework never challenged her and helping her dad around the house was something she enjoyed. Her home consisted of herself, her twin sister Elyse, and her father. Her mother had walked out on them at a young age, but that never bothered her much. The bond between the three of them was unbreakable. They spent almost every moment together when she was young; they went hiking, spent most weekends on the beach, and took trips often.

In middle school her father accepted a promotion in order to make ends meet, which meant that he would spend less time with them. No more ice cream after school, weekends in the mountains, or movie nights. The sisters missed their father, but they knew that he was just looking out for them. Even if it meant that they had one less person to rely on.

The sisters now spent most of their free time together. Their bond grew stronger, and they did almost everything together. Although they were twins, Elara and Elyse were polar opposites. Elara was focused on school and thought about her actions, while Elyse was barely concerned with homework and let her emotions guide her. The two balanced each other's personalities well. Elara helped Elyse with her homework, and Elyse taught Elara how to laugh at the hard times. They were inseparable by high school. Even though they had different friend groups and interests, they were always together at the end of the day.

When their graduation came around, Elara was second to the top of their class and headed off to a nearby university. Elyse on the other hand managed to graduate with her sisters help, and planned to pursue a music career while working full-time at a nearby radio station. The two had bright futures ahead of them, and their father was proud. He gifted each of them matching necklaces with the letter EW engraved on the back to represent their initials. It was meant to be a reminder of their home and family, and the two vowed to wear them every day.

Flashing forward two years, Elara had just finished her second year of college in study of psychology. She comes home for summer break to spend it with her father and Elyse; the latter is still living at home to save money for her big move to Los Angeles at the end of the year. The two sisters decided to take a trip into the mountains to hike their favorite spot, and after a fond goodbye from their father they headed off. Unfortunately, the two never made it. As Elyse drove up a windy road on the side of the mountain, a speeding truck swung around a corner and collided head on with their car.

Elara's memory of the crash is limited, but she wouldn't tell you what she saw during those few minutes of being conscious. The next thing she remembers is waking in the hospital to her father's hollow eyes. First she hears that she's been in a coma for a week, then that she'd fractured her spinal cord. Apparently she should have died from the pain alone, but Elara didn't remember feeling any pain. The next news wasn't of much shock to her, but still filled her heart with anguish. Elyse had died during the crash.

After the crash, Elara didn't return to school. She stayed home with her father, unemployed for a few months to recover from her emotional and physical injuries. She avoided getting in cars like the plague, and when she eventually got a job she rode the metro or biked. She began to notice odd things about herself; her powers had manifested during the crash and were slowly revealing themselves to her at different moments.

She discovered the extent of her powers one night after walking towards the metro station. One unfortunate mugger was left trembling on the ground as Elara ran as fast as she could. She wasn’t exactly sure what had happened, but she knew that it had come from deep inside of her.

Desperate to discover more, Elara began going on long “walks” after work. Once she learned to control her ability, her long “walks” turned into late night vigilantism. The years went on, and instead of returning to school to finish her degree, she continued to work full time and fought crime at night. She moved out when her father began to wonder where she was going at night. While their bond was still as strong as ever, the loss of her sister created a hole in their lives.

Now, after turning 24 a month ago, Elara has accepted a new job in Virginia. Although it is a whole country away from her father and home, she plans to do more with her powers than stop petty crime. Plus, her identity was close to being discovered in San Diego anyways. She’d earned the titles of Mirage and Vertigo, and has decided to live under those titles at Serval Industries.

@Skai

Only problem I can see is that her age is off by one year (the RP is in the beginning of 2018, she would have just turned 23 at the end of 2017)

Fix that by either switching her birthday to be in 1993 or switch her age to 23.

Other then that you are good to move her over and you can bring her in since I just updated (she'll be with the group in the conference room)
