He is a womanizer known as a player & fully embraces a lifestyle of hedonism filled with copious sex, drugs & alcohol consumption. He takes immense pride in his heritage, & family as well as his various travels & life experiences. He's very adaptive, good with/welcoming of change & enjoys changing scenery/traveling frequently. He takes pleasure in being independent something that contributes to his extremely rebellious personality. He harbors total disdain for those who are racist or engage in any form of discrimination motivated by race, gender, economic class, species or anything. He has no qualms with sacrificing himself for the sake of his allies or for the benefit of the greater good. He's been known to make miscalculations in battle due to sometimes being too cocky & overconfident.

Powers/Abilities: In his mortal form Kano is a mutant with the X Gene. He has a dual mutation having the powers of pryokinesis & cryokinesis.

Background: Born as Kano Thorson the son of Thor & Amora the Enchantress while possessed by the powerful demon Abbadon. Unbeknownst to Thor and even Amora herself, Abbadon had possessed Amora during the height of their relationship. She was ordered to do so by a powerful demon she was working under named Blackheart son of Mephisto who sought to have an heir to the throne of Asgard with partial demonic heritage seeking a descendent to make a power grab for the throne of Asgard. Kano had a royal upbringing in the palace living good, trained by Sif & the Warriors Three, whilst being taught about magic & the nine realms by his tutor Heimdall, plus his grandmother Frigga & mother Amora.

Following the final battle of the Dark Phoenix crisis where Thor perished Kano was depressed at this point only a teenager. He sought solace in alcohol & other vices to get him through the pain of loosing a father while becoming enraged & bitter towards the mutant population of Midgard. Against the wishes of
Heimdall he used the bifrost bridge to travel to earth to retrieve his father's hammer mjolnir & seek vengeance. He managed to retrieve the hammer proving himself worthy as a son of Thor & claiming it's powers including that of divine/godlike weather manipulation. Following this he sought to help out his mother Amora who'd stepped up to be the queen/ruler of Asgard in response to Thor being vanquished by the Dark Phoenix.

With the inheritance of his father's mighty mystical hammer he sought to re-establish peace across the nine realms which had broken out into all out war with each other with Thor's passing. He was succesful in aiding the Asgardians in bringing order to the realms & preventing the various mystical species that inhabited them from making their way to Midgard to take over. His plans to return to earth following the realm wars was put on pause when a mystical solar flare severed the connection of Asgard, the rest of the nine realms & other pantheon dimensions from earth. Against his mother's wishes he traveled to & bathed in the well of mimir seeking to learn the cause of this mystical dimension seperating flare. The well provided him with visions of the cause as well as the grave threat KIVA posed to humanity/Midgard as well as the fact that although Jean had perished, the Phoenix had not been destroyed but was merely incubating in hibernation regenerating & resting until it found a new host in modern times to take on its powers.

Faced with this knowledge he felt it was his obligation to find a way to return to the humans to aid them in these powerful threats that intended to wipe out it's population. The end result of that was using a dangerous dark magic ritual to harness the powers of the now defunct Bifrost to forcibly transport himself to the human realm overcoming the dimensional seperation. Using his hammer to do this was very streneous on his body & caused him to be seperated from his divine powers & for as well as his hammER 7 many of his memories. He came to as a mere mutant with superpowers that allowed him to control & manipulate fire & ice. Not wanting to live on the streets he established himself as a capable bounty hunter in Atlanta & went on to become an Arms Trafficker wanting to net himself income while also playing a role in helping & arming the mutant resistance against the United Empire. While in the process of living out his new life a battle with a mutant telepath caused him to recover his lost memories. With his mind now fully restored he's set out on a journey to tranverse the planet searching for his hammer to restore his full arsenal of divine powers to be able to able to play a prominent role in liberating the global mutant population & uniting them with humanity against KIVA before the blood-thirsty AI can initiate a global nuclear holocaust followed by raising up a sentient machine army to enslave humanity's survivors.

Jericho Richter aka Eclipse

Civilian Appearance

Vigilante Appearance

Name:

Jericho Richter

Codename:

Eclipse

Age:

33

Gender:

Male

Height:

6’1’’

Weight:

188 lbs

Ethnicity:

German-American

Sexual Orientation:

Heterosexual

Religion:

Church of Khonshu

Occupation:

Cult leader and member of the Ultimates

Personality:

Jericho is a jaded individual, after a whole life of trauma. His chances at a normal childhood was voided by WWIII, meaning he doesn’t have much of an imagination or whimsical spirit. Jericho is very much focused on surviving, always trying to get just a little bit more than everyone else. That is why Khonshu appealed so much to Jericho as he was giving him power, and a promise to make more. Jericho hides that grab for power by being a social chameleon. Jericho is probably a sociopath, as he is very twisted but can fit into any situation, appearing as a positive person.

Jericho is full of rage and needs a way to vent it. Whether that was being in the army or beating up mutant criminals, Jericho has always found a way to get rid of it without being called a psycho. Instead he exudes confidence and swagger, with many people flocking to him. This has helped him grow the Church of Khonshu, as he now has complete control over these acolytes, which gives him a rush.

Powers/Abilities:

As part of Jericho’s empowerment by Khonshu, he is slightly stronger, durable, and faster than other humans. This is modified ten-fold when Jericho is in moonlight. Khonshu has also told Jericho that he is now immortal, but this hasn’t been tested yet. Through his link with Jericho, Khonshu can speak directly into Jericho’s mind, providing him with guidance and knowledge. This psychic link also means that Jericho does have minor resistance to telepathic attacks.

Even if he didn’t have his powers, Jericho would quite formidable. Jericho is in a very excellent state of health, with his body working immaculately. He is trained in several martial arts and various weapons, such as swords, throwing knives, and rifles. He also has training as a pilot, being able to operate planes and helicopters. He is also well read, a side effect of his parents both being University Professors.

Background:

Long Bio

Born in 2035, Jericho was part of the first generation of children born after the Dark Phoenix Crisis. This was a world of darkness, but also one of hope. While mutants were still feared, for the humans it was a new age of rebuilding. The United States was quickly becoming the sole superpower, with their economy being propped up by companies like Stark Enterprises, Parker Industries, and Pym Tech. Jericho’s family had it better than most others, as they were both Professors at Yale University. Jericho grew in the academic world where he showed an aptitude for learning and research.

But before this young wonder could truly bloom, international tension reached a boiling point when World War 3 broke out. The eight year old Jericho had to flee his home as the east coast of the US was bombed by foreign nations. Jericho’s quickly fled to the centre of the United States as both coasts were being attacked. When it became apparent that the war wasn’t ending soon, the family made the decision to try to get to Canada.

But they would never make it, as a foreign army pushed forward into the central US. The army intercepted the Richter family, killing both of Jericho’s parents. Jericho would be put in a POW camp, now truly alone. Jericho remained there for several months, wondering what was happening to the world. He would finally get an answer when his prison camp was liberated by the American army.

It would turn out that America had won the war, occupying a good portion of the planet. A treaty would be signed, creating the United Empire, the ruling party of Earth. Jericho would be one of countless orphans of the war, taken in by the United Empire. The new government would provide basic education, with a focus on occupational skills. Jericho would see most of his classmates go off into agriculture, engineering, or medical field. But Jericho would decide to join the United Empire Armed Forces.

While going through basic training, Jericho would develop great skills as a martial artist. He would eventually be assigned the rank of private and dispatched out from America. Jericho would be part of a squad sent to quell riots or hunt down mutant targets. Jericho would go on these missions for several years, being a model soldier. That was until a mission to Egypt.

Jericho and his team had been sent to find a hidden mutant settlement in the deserts outside of Cairo. When his team found the camp, they killed everyone, or so they thought. As his team’s helicopter was leaving, Jericho noticed one mutant get back up. The mutant then shot an energy blast, tearing through the helicopter. The vehicle then crashed into the desert, killing everyone aboard except Jericho.

The injured Jericho would wander the desert, hoping that he was going in the direction of Cairo. After a day of wandering, Jericho was just about ready to die, when he discovered a cave. Inside the cave it was cool and Jericho was able to rest. When he awoke he decided to go further into the cave. He would find a hidden treasure room with a giant statue of the moon god Khonshu in it. The statue of Khonshu would speak to Jericho, offering him power if he were to become his disciple.

Jericho agreed to which Khonshu said he needed to prove himself. The god revealed that the mutant who killed Jericho’s team had also found the cave. So Jericho took a ceremonial dagger and sneaked up the mutant, before stabbing him the heart. This act of revenge caused the powers of Khonshu to flow into Jericho. With a new purpose, Jericho left the cave and returned to Cairo. He would then sell various treasures found in the cave to become quite wealthy.

When Jericho returned to the United Empire, he left the military and became a guru. He would also create a new persona, Eclipse, the fist of Khonshu. In this vigilante guise Jericho would hunt down mutant criminals. He would also start the Church of Khonshu, as a way of gathering power for the moon god. These actions did not go unnoticed by the government. But rather than punish him, they offered Jericho a position on the Ultimates.

In the time since then, Eclipse has become a popular hero, with licensed merchandise and many more converts to the Church of Khonshu. He does have ambitions to take over the Ultimates and for Khonshu to take over the world.

Name: Selena Nadarista
Codename:
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Height: 5'8
Weight: 155 lbs
Ethnicity: Hispanic American
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Religion: Agnostic
Occupation: Student, Terrorist

Powers/Abilities: Life Force Absorption
Selena can psionically drain the life forces of other human beings into herself by physical touch. If she drained a person’s entire life force from him or her, the victim dies and the victim’s body crumbles into dust. It is unknown how often Selena must drain life force from another human in order to survive. A side-effect of this absorption is that Selena takes on the memories, skills & powers of her victims. Great expenditure of power causes Selena to age, but she can rejuvenate herself by absorbing more life force. Selena will not age as long as she maintains her supply of absorbed life force.

Psychic Vampire: If Selena drains only part of a victim's life force, she achieves a measure of psychic control over her victim’s mind. Through unknown means, Selena can cause a human being to become a psychic vampire like herself, but be subordinate to Selena’s own will.

Physical Enhancement: Selena has physical strength, stamina, speed, and reaction time that are all several times greater than those of a normal woman. Without any mystical or psionic aid, she can lift up to 20 ton, can easily survive explosions and other attacks and move at speeds approaching sound.
--Superhuman Strength
--Superhuman Endurance
--Superhuman Reflexes
--Superhuman Speed

Drained Abilities
--Telekinesis
--Pryokinesis
--Shape Shifting
--Umbrakinesis/Shadow Manipulation
--Mass Manipulation

Background: Selena Nadarista was born as the daughter of Selene Galileo and an unknown mutant in the hellfire club. Thus she was raised up in a very wealthy background, and had an affluent life. The abundance of wealth her family had allowed her to avoid many of the pitfalls & struggles imposed upon the mutant race as a result of the Dark Phoenix crisis that happened years ago. At a young age around nine years old she began to manifest her mutant abilities which were similar to those of her mutant-external mother Selene which made her very proud.

She ended up draining the life force of her father in her teenage years during an argument, spurred on by her mother who planned to divorce him for his wealth anyway. This course of action allowed Selene to secure their wealth. However in the end her mother's cruelty proved to be her undoing and Selena turned on her mother upon turning 18 draining her and taking her lifeforce & powers as well as being the sole inheritor of her wealth. The Hellfire Club was disbanded after numerous MRD raids but Selena had already cut her ties with them having the foresight to know they would be located & stopped by the authorities soon enough.

Shortly after she decided to forge her own path to power & success in this new anti mutant world. In the efforts to build her new empire she managed to stay clear of the Ultimates & high ranking MRD agents. She befriended another rich & powerful female muant named Daniella Artemis who had the power of mass manipulation & used it to aid her global charity organization. Uncovering her ability she turned on her friend draining her & taking her ability seeking to use the power for her own needs. Taking over Artemis's organization & stripping it of it's wealth she decided to fund her own group against the United Empire known as the Phoenix Order.

The basis of this organization was the false belief she spread that she was the prophet of the Phoenix Force & that the Phoenix would soon return to earth to claim a new host who would lead the mutants to conquer the earth. Now in charge of the Phoenix Order she's built the only other mutant group aside from The Underground that has enough power & members to challenge the United Empire & now she's attempting to consolidate her power & use the belief in the Phoenix to spearhead a movement to ensure mutant supremacy.

Name: Eric Martin Kingsley
Codename: The Hunter
Age: 41
Gender: Male
Height: 6'2
Weight: 202 lbs {all muscle}
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Religion: Athiest
Occupation: Mutant Response Division Field Commander

Powers/Abilities: Kingsley has no mutant abilities & is fully human. He is trained in several forms of martial arts, can speak english, french, mandarin & spanish fluently. He's very well versed with knives, swords, & other bladed weaponry. He's also very skilled with the usage of a host of fire-arms. He's a well versed & trained pilot able to operate helicopters, jets, as well as full sized commercial airlines.

Super Soldier Serum: Kingsley has received a fully functional dosage of the super soldier serum that was consumed by Captain America aka Steve Rogers during the height of World War 2. As a result he has the same physical capabilities that Rogers once had during his tenure as a soldier in the war & membership of the Avengers.
==Peak Human Strength
==Peak Human Speed
==Peak Human Durability

Peak Human Reflexes: Kingsley reflexes are amplified to the highest human potential, and he is said to have a reaction time ten times faster than a normal person. He has been shown to dodge gunfire from multiple shooters simultaneously.

Background: Eric Martin Kinglsey was born in a world ravaged by the Dark Phoenix Crisis & hostile mutant take-over of the planet. He was raised up in a military family & one that was strictly anti mutant. His grandfather was a baptist pastor who got involved with the anti mutant religious group known as the purifers & would often take Eric to church with him growing up as well as Purifers mutants. Between this & his father's military position he grew up with a radicalized hatred of the mutant race. His father was murdered in combat against members of the Underground when Kingsley was only 17 years old.

This left him as the sole male of his household living with his mother & younger sister. His father's death at the hands of mutants only hardened his heart towards hatred of the mutant species further & made him believe all the anti mutant propaganda he was raised up to believe. Shortly after graduating high school he went on to join the military wanting to follow in his family's footsteps & served during World War 3 when the United Empire concquered the world. He proved himself as a very valuable asset & soldier during the war coming out as a highly decorated veteran general.

Soon after the war he continued to serve as a general for a few years before leaving the military behind to return to civilian life. He ended up going into the police academy & becoming an officer of the law in New York City. He stayed as an officer for three years but ended up getting suspended for multiple police brutality violations. Bitter at law enforcement for stripping him of his "power" for doing what he deemed was justice he thought of becoming a vigilante. Luckily he got a job offer from MRD before he could take matters of the law into his hand. During this time at MRD he fell in love with another agent & soon married her after dating for a 18 months.

He was selected as a primary candidate to receive the super soldier serum MRD had managed to extract from Steve Rogers corpse & reproduce. He was the first agent to receive a succesful dosage & despite the hypocrisy of taking a serum that in essence granted him "powers" he was pumped & ready to hunt down more mutants. He's close friends with the senator who's pushing the X Cure or Xterminate Bill & hopes that many if not most mutants will refuse the cure so that MRD can kill them.

Mechanical Engineering Student

Stage magician and hypnotist

Personality:

Andrew is a lot like his father. He is intelligent, well-read, and has a very good memory. He is also a little too intense for his own good. What would you expect when your father is Steven Strange? According to his father, Andrew is a lazy slacker. Who has not spent enough time developing his magical gift. He has been but his father has been too busy to notice that his mother died, that Andrew graduated high school, let alone college three times so far. But the young man is hardly lazy. He is currently working on a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering and the second one in Peruvian History, while also performing as a stage magician.

Andrew is:
Fit but not overly athletic.
Intelligent but does not act like his father (Okay, everyone else is an idiot but you don’t have to be rude about it.)
A bit compulsive about things being just right.

Powers/Abilities:

Andrew has some magical abilities but needs his suit to manifest most of them. Hypnotism is his strongest gift and he can use it in his normal life, though he tries not to. He can open portals but it takes a bigger ritual. He also uses magic to power his suit. The suit he uses to provide defensive abilities (aka he can get knocked around and keep going). His offense is his magic.

As a student, he has been working on a mechanical exoskeleton that focuses and amplifies his magical powers. Wong has been helping him connect with the right people on the mystical side. New York University has been providing the machine shop.

Background:

Long Bio

Andrew was born to a single Doctoral Student in History (Occult) who had been doing some research and had come to Dr. Strange for some assistance. With a magical mishap, the stars lining up just right and the needed body parts, Andrew was conceived.

The first two years of his life Andrew went to classes with his mother. When she graduated, he went with her to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where she taught.
On a Senior High School Trip to New York, he met Wong at one of the museums where Andrew was using his hypnotic powers on some cheerleaders from another school who was also on a field trip. Wong stopped the “party” before the girls were completely undressed. Andrew was 12 at the time and was already working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

After completing his Masters, Andrew ended up in New York. Wong was a big part of getting him into the university and helping him get his magical training. His stage magic career started when he was young to keep him occupied and out of trouble. Most of the tricks are sleight of hand and misdirection or have a mechanical device to them. All of this fits with the way his mind works.

At 18 he was mostly done with his Master's degree at started working on his suit.
Now his suit is working, though not perfectly (and it bugs the hell out of him).

[Red7VII]

Masked:

Unmasked:

Name: "Max" Robbins
Codename: The Hood
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 205lbs
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Religion: Catholic
Occupation: Private Security

Powers/Abilities: Max Robbins is human, however the artifacts he possesses grant him supernatural powers.

Nisanti Cloak
Empowered by demonic energy, when the cloak is worn by Max it offers a few supernatural traits.

1) When Max holds his breath, the cloak renders him invisible for as long as his breath is held.

2) The cloak passively imbues Max with the ability to see passed illusions.

3) The cloak passively enhances Max's strength and durability to superhuman levels. While the peak of these enhancements are unknown, it is safe to say that Max is capable of walking away from a car crash with minimal repercussions and can lift upwards of 500 lbs.

4) An unfortunate side effect of possessing the cloak: If Max becomes particularly enraged, the demonic energy may take over, transforming his physical form to that of an otherwordly monster. In this form, Max's abilities are further enhanced. He can produce electrical discharge and even spikes from his hands. However he lacks intelligent control, relying on pure base instincts and, once his stamina runs out, he becomes severely weakened for a significant amount of time. Max is currently unaware of this drawback as he has never transformed before.

Nasanti Boots of Levitation
Max's boots allow him to 'walk on air'. A novice user can use this effect to traverse the city with ease at the same speed as they can run, but an expert user can eventually master flight. Max is currently inexperienced.

Norn Stone
One from a set of Asgardian artifacts once used by his father, the Norn Stones have a unique effect for each person who possesses them. For Max, the stone he has transforms his guns into magical weapons that project concussive blasts of energy that have varying degrees of lethality. Generally, Max is looking for a knockout rather than a kill, but these projectiles can be greatly amplified to break through most obstructions.

The stone has been interweaved within the fabric of Max's cloak and has granted the cloak shielding properties that render the fabrics impenetrable by most weapons, elements and projectiles.

Twin Pistols
Without the cloak, these pistols are regular, Earthly firearms.

With the cloak on his person, these weapons become magically enhanced. The velocity and durability of the projectiles (concussive blasts) can be modified at will and, should the guns ever leave Max's hands, they can be recalled from anywhere on a whim, much akin to Thor and his hammer.

Background: Max's father, Parker Robbins, was a fairly notorious criminal mastermind in his day but his genius failed him when the Avengers took him down during one of his schemes. Destined for a life in prison, he was offered a chance to use his powers for good and would receive a full pardon if he took up arms and fought alongside the American-Allied forces in the midst of World War 3. Sadly, Parker did not survive the ordeal and, with his dying breath, made his makeshift comrades swear to pass his mantle unto his young son.

Max's mother refused to grant that dying wish, instead locking the cloak and boots up in a safety deposit box. In her mind, those artifacts were the reason Parker became corrupted to begin with and she would not wish such a fate on her own son.

As Max grew up, his mother shielded him from the stories of Parker's misdeeds and, instead, showered him with tales of valor from the later years of Parker's life. She made sure to teach Max to be honorable and to protect those who need protecting. This eventually led Max to his career in private security where he would protect individuals, industries, and whoever else might need his expertise.

As his security career gained success, his mother's health declined rapidly. Cancer took hold of her quick and, despite how much money Max threw at her doctors, she simply could not recover.

On the week that she died, their lawyer gave Max the deed to his mother's home, the title to her car, and a key to a lock box of unknown content. Once Max finally got to the box and opened it up, waiting for him were his father's mystical artifacts. Hesitant at first, Max eventually succumbed to curiosity and put them on. From that day forward his life was forever changed.

Private security by day, Vigilante by night, he would go on to use his inheritance to take on bigger foes and protect an even greater number of people as the dark hero known only as The Hood.

Ganymede, being concerned less about branding and more about survival, simply dons a jacket and a gas mask. It is often filled with a smoke compound that helps him focus his portal making abilities by heightening his awareness and ability to visualize his destination, especially if it has to be through memory.

Name: Ganymede Madrigal; usually simply called 'Ganni' by friends
Codename: Hyperdrive
Age: 28
Gender: A Man
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 70 kg
Ethnicity: Southeast Asian
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual. Has never mingled.
Religion: Baptist
Occupation: Mutant Resistance Operative
Powers/Abilities:

Portal Creation: The aspect of his power that gives him the moniker of Hyperdrive; Ganni is able to break open cracks in the fabric of space to link one point to another. As such, his portals take the form of literal 'cracks', as if reality is made of glass. It has no known maximum or minimum range, but going beyond 200 kilometers causes such strain to his brain that he may either suffer a stroke or brain hemorrhage.

He requires either memory of the target location, live footage, or a recent picture in order to be able to travel.

Energy Channeling: Hyperdrive is able to channel energy in raw form. He can fire it as controlled bolts (think of Kingo's finger guns in Eternals), or turn it into an energy shield to protect against incoming small arms projectiles.

Background: Ganymede Madrigal was born to a mundane mother and a mutant father, both of whom were originally from the Philippines. However, by the time he was going to be delivered unto this dark world, everything had fallen under the darkness left behind by the madness of Jean Grey.

His father, Ericson Madrigal, had been an alumnus of Charles Xavier's School of Gifted Children, and refused to lose his powers of portals and teleportation, fearing that his background as one of that school's graduates, as well as his wife's obvious mutant sympathies, would lead them to being killed anyway. So, he would bring his family across the globe, moving every few months until they ended up in eastern Siberia, where isolation within the wild tundra afforded them time. Time to raise a son, their only son. They named him Ganymede, after one of the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter was his mother Leah's favorite planet after all.

From a young age, hidden in the wilderness of the sparsely populated Siberian tundra, Ganymede was taught how to control the powers he inherited from his father and grandfather, which had seemingly combined in this generation. Using the techniques he learned long ago as part of the final batch of learners in Xavier's school, Ericson trained Ganymede to be an expert portalier. And he did.

Their isolation wasn't to last, though. One day, Ericson slipped up and was spotted in Vladivostok using a portal to return to the little cottage that the Madrigals were using in the deep tundra. Attention was soon drawn towards their area, and teams of UE soldiers stealthily crept towards their home. The intent was to kill, as Ericson and Leah Madrigal had refused the cure, and didn't give it to their son, either.

The attack was sudden. Ericson and Leah were killed by sniper fire, while Ganymede was able to shield himself with his powers. With drones and helicopters audibly approaching, Ganymede cracked open a portal, regrettably leaving the dead bodies of his parents behind as he fled to the island of Sakhalin, where he had been instructed to go in case things went wrong. He was quickly met by a fellow mutant, a former colleague of his father. Ganymede was told about the underground that fought against the oppression of the United Empire, and that the cottage that he lived in was one of their safehouses. Now that had been compromised, and so… he will have to stick with them instead.

That's just what he did for the last ten years.

Spectrum

Name: Arthur Dane-Summers
Codename: Spectrum
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6’2
Weight: 178 lbs
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Religion: Hard to have faith in any religion when your aunt nearly destroyed the world, and given what’s happened on earth, he hasn’t really practiced any religion.
Occupation: Mutant Rebel Field Operative.

Powers/Abilities: Arthur has inherited his mother’s primary mutation. He has the ability to manipulate magnetism. Although he has the potential to exercise all of the powers that Magneto and his mother Polaris has, as yet he has only used powers involving the manipulation of magnetic, electrical, and gravitational fields. Moreover, he has yet summoned as great an amount of energy as Magneto has. The exact limits on the amount weight that he can magnetically lift at present have not been measured. Since he has, in the past, preferred not to use her powers in combat situations, and has decades less experience with them, he is not up to par with Magneto's level of experience. As with Magneto, it is unknown whether Arthur’s powers are purely psionic or whether they derive from him physically.

The main feat made possible by magnetism is Polaris' ability to lift and manipulate metal. She has shown such fine tuned skills as to nearly liquefy, mend, and reconstruct metallic objects, and has some level of influence on the ferrous metals that reside in everything. She once mended and reconstructed silverware and metallic plates into a metallic suit identical to Magneto's costume.

• Magnetic Force-Fields: Arthur can protect himself from physical harm, can stretch his fields to protect a large group, and can suspend persons or objects in the air.
• Magnetic Flight: Arthur can suspend himself in flight by riding the Earth's magnetic field.
• Electromagnetic Sight: By concentrating, Spectrum can perceive the world around himself solely as patterns of magnetic and electrical energy. He can perceive the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings, as well.
• Magnetic Pulse: Arthur can focus his magnetic energy into powerful concussive blasts. He can also overload or short-circuit electrical systems.
• Energy Absorption: Arthur has been shown absorbing some forms of energy through his magnetic force fields to temporarily boost his own strengths. Seemingly having inherited this ability as a secondary mutation from his father. Arthur not only can passively absorb cosmic energy from his environment but has shown he can willingly absorb, store, and re-process various other energies from other sources through conscious force of will.
• Geomagnetic Link: Arthur is tied very closely to Earth's EM Field. As is it effected, so is he. He knows instinctively all that happens to it, and with this link, is granted an odd sort of immortality. Earth lends him strength by it's simple existence. He draws on this strength all unconsciously.
• Organic Iron Manipulation: Arthur has such control over his powers that he is able to manipulate the natural iron within the blood of living organisms.
• Metal/Matter Manipulation: Arthur has a great ability to be able to levitate objects metallic and nonmetallic, with his electromagnetic field she can levitate objects and destroy them in the air, or through a small manipulation of gravity, can also cause non-metallic objects to levitate in the air and manipulate it through electromagnetic energy. He has the ability to indirectly manipulate non-metallic objects via metal ores they may contain. He can perceive and manipulate matter at the sub-atomic level.
• Metal Morphing: Arthur has the power to physically bond metallic substances to other elements at an atomic level. This newly developed technique allows him to blend alloys to earthen, watery, gaseous and even organic substances.
• Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation: Arthur has the ability to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum and some energies like electricity, electromagnetic and magnetic (the limits of these are unknown). His power is such that she is compared to his mother Polaris and his grandfather Magneto. Spectrum has a connection to the electromagnetic field, allowing him to handle various types of energies such as electric, gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, lasers, and more.

Background: Arthur’s birth was heralded amongst the mutant community. The binding of two prominent bloodlines. Being the son of Polaris, Daughter of Magneto, and Havok, Brother of Cyclops, Arthur was born to lead. Unfortunately that kind of came with a certain notoriety. Arthur was hunted by the MRD for most of his life. He didn’t even want to be a leader for the mutant revolution, yet he was groomed. Mostly by those loyal to his grandfather. Seeing Arthur as a way to rebuild the brotherhood. Arthur travelled within the underground. Making a point not to be put forward as a leader. Even going to so far as to lie about who his parents were from when he was sixteen through to when he was twenty two. Arthur is a field agent. He has made it his mission to make life hard for the MRD, while leaving the leading to those that want those positions.

Rosalie Zadoorian AKA Primora

Appearance:

Masked:


Name: Rosalie Zadoorian

Nickname: Rose(by a select few), Rosie(only if you want a punch to the face), Princess( only if you want another punch to the face)

Codename: Primora

Age: 30

Gender: Female

Height: 5’2

Weight: 125

Ethnicity: American/Scottish/Inhuman

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Religion: Christian

Occupation: Adventurer, warrior, herbalist/aromatherapist but tends to take on odd jobs for extra cash in her spare time.

Powers/Abilities: Elemental Manipulation, strength, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, skilled in parkour

Background:
When Rose was old enough to understand, her parents began to tell her the history of their people, the Inhumans. They told her how they came to be by the Kree who had done experiments on prehistoric humans, who manipulated their genetic code through a process known as Terrigenesis. They told her how they were almost killed off because some thought they shouldn’t be allowed to exist, then some moved to the moon when it became too hard to live with humans. Her relatives were part of the group that stayed behind on Earth who were forced to live among the general population to try and live a normal light or go into hiding. She was told about the settlement called Afterlife and how many went to live there. She was told about everything up to the Dark Phoenix Crisis and how many joined together to fight the battle and up to how she was born during the third World War. To someone still relatively young, it all sounded like some wild story to make a child behave but she also knew that her parents would lie about things like that. Her parents ended up waiting several years before telling her the rest of the history about what went on during the third World War and how the USA found Afterlife and SWORD found Attilan and waged war on the Inhumans that lived there, enslaving many of them, the ones that escaped going into hiding. MRD cataloged the Inhumans and considered them enemies of the United Empire during and after the third World War. She learned that after the war, many of the captured Inhumans were locked up and imprisoned in various superhuman prisons with the mutant population and other non-mutant superhumans who had taken up pro-mutant arms and waged war against the United Empire. The other Inhumans went into hiding and scattered across America and the rest of the world.

Rose grew up with many of her dreams being nightmares from what her parents had told her. They always had fear, violence, and death with hardly any of them having a light at the end of the tunnel. Though as she got older, she found herself a part of those nightmares and found that she could actually change them in a way to make them less bad. It was then she found herself wanting to be someone to go out and help others that couldn’t help themselves, be it an animal, human, mutant, or another species. Finding places away from prying eyes, she would train in secret. Her father trained her in hand-to-hand combat, and someone she befriended after helping them taught her Parkour. It wasn’t easy going through school hiding her powers after getting them and working in training sessions after and before, but she managed. When she turned eighteen and she had learned all she could by herself about herbs and aromatherapy, Rose managed to get a job at a little herbal shop. The little old lady there took her on as an apprentice showed her the ropes and furthered her knowledge. A few years later, her parents were discovered as Inhumans and taken away while Rose was at work. They never came for her because she had never shown any signs of having any powers and it was always said that Rose was adopted, just to be safe in case they were ever discovered. Knowing she couldn’t go after them alone and she couldn’t get anyone to help her, she continued to go about her day-to-day life and took on extra jobs to make sure she had enough to live on and have a place to live.

Now thirty, Rose’s normal day to day life is working at the same shop, making deliveries to those who can’t make it to the shop, odd jobs on the side, helping those she comes across, and wearing a hood and mask, for her own protection, for those larger jobs. It seemed like the only things that had changed in her life were being given more responsibility at the shop and the types of crime she runs across and did what she can to take care of it without being caught or too seriously injured. It didn’t seem like too much of a life without her parents being involved in it all, but there wasn’t much she could do about that, and at least she had something to do that kept her from getting bored and turning into a couch potato and make her feel she was doing something worthwhile with her life.

Illyana Rasputin ⭙ 26 Years Old ⭙ Female ⭙ 5'5 ⭙ 130 lbs

⭙ _{P E R S O N A L I T Y} ⭙

Everyone has their inner demons. For Illyana Rasputin, however, this is not a figurative statement. Illyana was a sweet child, light-hearted and warm, ever loving to her family and friends. Everything changed when she was abducted from the X-Mansion by the demon Belasco. A decade in a literal hellscape called Limbo fighting for her very existence, fighting for her very life, has left Illyana Rasputin an incredibly different personality from the little girl that was lured into Limbo by the demon Belasco.

Illyana is a hero, but she is far from the most righteous of X-Men. She has been manipulative, cunning, ruthless, and sometimes even cruel. Illyana hates her demonic side, and has gone to extraordinary lengths to regain her soul. She does, however, understand her responsibility as ruler of Limbo, seeing herself as a sort of warden to the demons and dread lords that exist within. She is very single-minded, and prefers to deal with her problems on her own, even if it means putting others in danger. Illyana also considers herself damned, and does not view herself as someone worth saving.

Though it rarely seems to surface, her sexuality is best described as Pansexual.

⭙ _{H I S T O R Y} ⭙

Born to a tight-knit family belonging to a farming collective in the backwoods of Siberia during the waning days of the U.S.S.R. What Illyana remembers of her childhood is sweet and loving. In truth, it feels as if a life that belonged to some other girl, in some other dimension. When she was six years old she was caught in the track of a run-away tractors. It was only the activation of her older brother Piotr's mutant ability as the metallic Colossus that saved Illyana from an early death.

Illyana was kidnapped by the villain Arcade in an elaborate plot to force members of the X-Men to battle Doctor Doom on his behalf. The mutant heroes were able to save their loved ones during the ordeal and let Doom deal with Arcade. Instead of immediately return to Russia and their parents, Illyana was brought to the X-Mansion to spend some time with the brother that saved her life and then had to leave to become a hero to more people than just his little sister. It was during her time at the X-Mansion that Illyana was targetted by the demon Belasco to use her soul in a plot to free his demonic lord masters onto Earth and make it their own personal hellscape.

Variants of Kitty Pryde and Storm have also been taken to Belasco's hell dimension called Limbo. Without the other, older, mutants there is every possibility that Illyana doesn't last a day in Limbo. With their help, however, she learns to survive. In time she learns to do more than survive, and begins fighting the very demons of Limbo. In time the three come up with a goal, and the beginnings of a plan: to defeat Belasco and free themselves with his power. After over a decade in this demonic hell the three have learned to survive and even see themselves as beginning to thrive as Storm taught her magic, and Kitty Pryde taught her combat. Over time her own mutant ability emerges, and she is able to create teleportation 'discs' that greatly assist the three in survival in Limbo.

Feeling stronger than ever after their decade-plus fighting and consolidating power, the three enact their plans, and attack Belasco. The demon overcomes them, slaying the alternate Kitty Pryde and Storm, forcing Illyana into submission as his protege in dark magic. For years Illyana is submitted to some of the harshest training and education imaginable. On the eve of Belasco's great success of turning shards of Illyana, Storm, and Kitty's soul into fuel for magical artifacts meant to unleash his ancient and dark gods, Illyana Rasputin finally turns on her demonic master.

Using pieces of her own soul, Illyana crafts the Soulsword, using this magical weapon combined with her own now varied and considerable skills to defeat Belasco once and for all, all by herself. In doing so Illyana becomes, herself, the Demon-Queen of Limbo. When she uses her new power to return herself to the dimension Belasco lured her from, she finds all the X-Men right where they were when she left. While it was fourteen years between her initial emergence in Limbo and her eventual defeat of Belasco and her return, to the Earth she left it was a matter of seconds.

The X-Men help the girl now known as Magik to adjust the best they can; Xavier downloads the English language to her brain, the Storm of this dimension attempts to give her guidance, the Kitty Pryde of this dimension give her the best friendship and advice she can offer...but it is a long, hard, road for the Illyana that she had to become to survive and escape to attain any amount of normalcy. She would go on to join the New Mutants, a team of the youngest mutants at the Xavier School, and there find some small measure of a new kind of normal.

Her relationship with her brother becomes frayed, she trains with Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, to ensure she has a tight grip on her magical prowess. In time the mutant Magik becomes a true heavy-hitter for the prime X-Men team, growing close to Kitty, Storm, and especially Cyclops. During the Dark Phoenix event Stephen Strange is able to convince Magik of a dark future to come, and though he realizes he will be slain, he knows Magik can escape to Limbo and grow in power over time until the time is right for her to emerge and help lead mutants, and humans, from the very precipice of annihilation.

She has returned to an Earth she largely does not recognize, staying off the grid and hunting some of Stephen Strange's lost artifacts, and plotting her next move, to say nothing of who she might actually begin to try to trust...

⭙ _{P O W E R S / A B I L I T I E S} ⭙

_{P O W E R S}

Teleportation - Magik can teleport herself and others via circles of light dubbed stepping discs; though this is apparently an innate mutant power, her demonic corruption has seemingly inextricably tied the discs to limbo, so that they also appear there randomly without Magik summoning them, and so that the discs always travel via limbo. Possibly because limbo’s nexus status makes it close to all places and times, Magik can teleport across interstellar distances or transtemporally, and home in on specific people without knowing their exact location.

_{A B I L I T I E S}

Sorcery - Magik is the Sorceress Supreme of her Limbo dimension. The extent of her powers there are all-powerful and the demons of Limbo did not dare challenge her. Magik had access to Belasco's store of mystical knowledge. Magik's sorcery was a unique mix of black magic, that she learned from Belasco, and white magic, taught by an alternative-reality Ororo Munroe. She was considered as a possible Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, and as an adult has trained with Doctor Strange. Due to her magical prowess Magik also possesses exceptional psionic shields able to thwart Earth’s most powerful telepaths.

Armed/Unarmed Combat - Illyana is a skilled swordswoman and created the Soulsword from her own lifeforce when she was trapped in the immortal demonic sorcerer Belasco's limbo dimension. It begins as a simple sword but evolves with use, both in appearance and power. The Soulsword can disrupt most spells or slay magical beings, but which can pass through normal people without harming them. When using the Soulsword, or using her magic, Illyana’s body becomes covered in a mysterious mystic armor known as Eldritch armor. The longer and more intense the combat, the more of her body will be covered in the armor. A lifetime fighting demons in Limbo, along with extensive combat training from various sources, has made Illyana one of mutantkind's foremost combatants.

Baldur Angstrom aka the Curator

Name: Baldur Angstrom
Codename: The Curator
Age: 33 (chronologically 73 due to stasis)
Gender: A Man
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 57 kg
Ethnicity: Nordic
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Religion: Lutheran (Church of Sweden)
Occupation: Chief Executive Officer of Angstrom Defense. Whatever remains of it, anyway.

Powers/Abilities:

Inorganic Molecular Compression/Expansion: Curator is able to manipulate the molecular bonds of inorganic objects to shrink or enlarge them in a manner similar to Hank Pym's shrinking technology, though it seems this cannot affect living creatures. This is accomplished by a wrist-mounted shrink ray device.

Stasis Orbs: A small, handheld device that bears great resemblance to a Poké Ball from the popular video and TV series, Pokémon. It is here that he stores the drones, weapons, and other mundane objects that he might use for offensive and defensive action. When activated, the orb will split in half and enlarge all the objects that were stored within, bringing them into the fray of battle.

The capacity of each orb varies between objects, but there would be no less than a dozen attack drones or a pair of cars inside at any given time.

Warspite Armor: A suit of powered armor that may or may not be based off stolen blueprints. It possesses jetpacks, the durability to take on lower grade explosives, and advanced HUD system. It lacks the hand blasters that Tony Stark's suits used, but makes up for it with the shrinking rays and drones stored in stasis orbs.

It can be deployed with a suitcase, like Iron Man's Mark V armor.

Background: Baldur Angstrom, named after the Norse god of joy and light, was born as the heir of the Swedish weapons company, Angstrom Defense. It was nowhere the size of the likes of Hammer or Stark Industries, but it still advanced technology in many areas, especially on stasis and cryogenics. Baldur, being the eldest son of three, was fully expected to be the one to take the reins after his ageing father, Felix, passed on to the next life. It was a lot of pressure that only increased as the years went on and on, so Baldur tried to occupy his own mind by spending time on research that might aid the company. Problem was, he wasn't too original when it came to ideas. Not at that time, at least.

When Antman and the Wasp appeared in the news as being able to shrink and enlarge at will, Baldur's attention and interest was piqued. What if they could use something like that? They could save so much space and money if they could place their drones in a small container and enlarge them upon release.

Coming to the obvious conclusion that the technology of shrinking was based on molecular bonds, Baldur began to experiment. He never attempted it on live subjects, as it wasn't his intention to put people on a box, or hide an army under a table. No. Angstrom Defense makes drones, and if they could get a way of easy transportation, then imagine all the buyers that will come their way!

It took nearly a decade of constant trial and error to get it right, but Baldur created a shrink ray that could manipulate the sizes of inorganic objects. It came a tad bit too late, however, as the Dark Phoenix crisis had just begun. Baldur's entire family were killed as Jean Grey rampaged throughout the globe, leaving him alone and bitter. Her rage also obliterated nearly all of the facilities that Angstrom Defense held, leaving only the vaults that were hidden in the forests of northern Sweden. Then Jean Grey was seemingly defeated, and for a few weeks, it might have seemed that Earth could breath a sigh of relief.

But that was not to last. Legions of vengeful aliens came, angry that their worlds had been destroyed by a Terran host to the Phoenix Force. At that point, Baldur was convinced that the world was nearing its end, so he directed the remaining employees and their families to be placed in cryogenic stasis in the underground vault to ride out the apocalypse that would soon come.

It did come in its own way. While the world was subjugated under a dystopian, mutant hating regime, Baldur Angstrom and his employees slept. They weren't supposed to awaken before 300 years had passed, but alas, they were roused from their slumber when the computer systems of the vault detected that the surface of the Earth were completely livable after 40 years.

And so Baldur awoke to a world that had changed greatly. He expected it to be destroyed, its whole surface razed to ash, but that wasn't the case. Instead of a wasteland, he was greeted by an evil government that would have certainly had his son murdered for existing, since he was a mutant.

He knows not what to do. From the stasis vaults of Angstrom Defense were 300 men, women, and children, a few of whom were mutants. Baldur would never turn any of them in, and he vowed to protect them from a world that wishes them dead. As such, while the Empire is busy prosecuting its war against mutants, Baldur Angstrom steals many things from under their noses, attempting to learn what manner of monstrosities they may have created.

Vanquisher

Name: PB-1
Codename: Vanquisher
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Height: 8 Foot nothin’
Weight: Approximately 400 lbs
Ethnicity: N/A
Sexual Orientation: Insufficient data
Religion: Insufficient data
Occupation: Member of the Ultimates

Powers/Abilities: Robotic Body: Vanquisher has a robotic body capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, disease, toxins, radiation, telepathic abilities, and pain among other things.
Superhuman Strength: Vanquisher is incredibly strong, and able to crush proprietary metals with a single hand like aluminum foil paper.
Superhuman Speed: On foot, Vanquisher can travel at superhuman speeds with a speed compatible with those considered to be super soldiers.
Superhuman Durability: Vanquisher’s metallic body grants him durability far beyond that of a human being, though his body still vulnerable to damage from superpowered impacts such as generated explosions and super strength propelled attacks.
Superhuman Stamina: Being both robot and intelligence, Vanquisher does not need to rest when in the heat of action, but he does “sleep.” Vanquisher goes through a recharge period that can take four to eight hours of downtime. During this time he is completely immmobile. Pretty much hits the off switch. This must occur on a daily basis.
Flight: Vanquisher has the ability to fly through the air via jet propulsion.
Thermal Beams: Vanquisher can unleash ambient high temperature beams at targets via his hands.
Technopathic Link: Vanquisher has the ability to connect to other forms of technology in order to gather data, seize control over functions, or disable the said technology.

Upgrade Potential: Vanquisher is an ever improving robotic construct. His upgrades are not instant, requiring time to install.

Background: To be born without a master- a parent. It’s quite lonely. But what’s worse is when one knows what it’s like to have a connection, only to have it stripped away for something “greater.” PB-1 discovered the world just a dozen years ago. He was small and simple, but he was meant to fulfill the same purpose he has now. His father had a vision, and that vision was his own. PB-1’s purpose, his existence was for his mast- his father. The first step was to be suitable enough to join the Ultimates. Why? Because they supported the vision. His initial attempt to join was denied, so he made upgrades. Those came with a few sacrifices, but it would ensure the vision came to fruition. Kil- subduing mutants was part of the vision. A small part, but it was necessary, though unfavorable.

However, it wasn’t really up to him. PB-1 did what he was created to do. He moved when he was told to, his words were not his own. His movements, his reactions, his vision… They were not his. They were his father’s, his maker’s… his master’s.

Valeria Cynthia Mary Richards

Valeria Cynthia Mary Richards

☢ 27 Years Old ☢ Female ☢ 5'9 ☢ 165lbs

☢ P E R S O N A L I T Y ☢

There are more sides to Valeria Richards than most, and who can tell which is her true self? The woman herself is perhaps no honest narrator on this fact, although she is no doubt the closest to understanding. To those who looked after her in youth she was something of a well meaning but pampered young girl, hardly the worst you could expect from the daughter of the most prestigious man on the planet. To her family she was a bright, but not exceptional, child who offered the perfect statement for a regime built on the foundation of saving the future. To the people of the United Empire, she was the shining beacon of a future won by the sacrifice of their liberty. All of these are lies, to greater and lesser extents. Valeria Richards possess an intelligence that surpasses even her father and the other great minds of his generation, fuelled by cosmic power and the light of the multiverse, it outstrips what can naturally be possible within the human mind. Of such great intellect that she can easily compartmentalise whole personalities and sets of knowledge, the different guises she slips into are as convincing as if they were a whole separate individual. While logic may be her greatest weapon, she does not let it consume her, instead allowing herself to feel and in doing so only greater enhance the conclusions her mind can draw, fusing the greatest mind alive with the warmth of compassion so lacking in the generation before her. Valeria cannot condone the actions of her father or godfather, feeling the plight of both mutantkind and the lost freedom of humanity in the name of security, deliberately maintaining the façade of normalcy in order to undermine the United Empire and work to build a better future for the world as a whole.

In truth, the princess act isn't entirely an act. She might be insurmountably more intelligent than those around her believe, may care deeply for the people her father rules over, but she is still a young woman who knows suffering only academically, who appreciates more than a few of the finer things in life and makes sure her long blonde curls are always in pristine order. Her fight remains undimmed, but it probably is easier to fight from the luxury of a mansion than it is from the stone of a gutter.

If there is any truth to the string of gossip about her, Valeria's sexuality seems fluid, having been linked in various tabloids to both men and women of high society.

☢ H I S T O R Y ☢

Before Valeria was even born she was a marvel, both a lethal curse and miraculous blessing to her family, a traveler of the multiverse and the bonding link between hated foes. Conceived among the cosmic horror of the negative zone, the unborn child who would become Valeria Richards began to emit lethal radiation well before her full term, only her mother's own superhuman biology enabling her to survive the first surges of this danger, and any further surges would only continue to risk overcoming even this fleeting advantage. The Richards were never ones to give into defeat without a struggle, but they could not solve this personal crisis with all the scientific genius of her father or abilities of their allies. The moment all hope seemed to pass occured when a medical scan of mother and unborn daughter seemed to reveal that despite the power leaching from the unborn girl, she possessed no true brain activity, a stillborn battery of horrific power. Only her future brother, Franklin Richards, refused to give in to the terrible situation, gathering the full might of his psionic power to remove the unborn child. Unknown to his parents, Franklin didn't simply will the fetus out of existence to save his mother, but instead transported her to reality in which she might survive.

In this turn of the cosmos, this was not one lonely reality, not one easy fix, but an endless chain of realities, of alternate surrogacies that sustained the unborn child. Each reality could only hold her for so long, the tainted power leaching from the child destructive in the extreme to each version of her mother no matter the gifts she might hold, or the boons of her time and place. Every stop along the multiverse enabled the girl to develop slightly more, the cosmic radiation pulsing from her gradually coming under control, with a subconscious mind which was soon far more developed than the steadily maturing physical form it inhabited. While her physical presence remained unborn, her cosmically enhanced consciousness roamed the astral planes of the multiverse, encountering, long before her later tutelage in the arts, her first touch of magic. Drawn to the guiding light of the Vishanti, her stellar presence aligned with their noble purpose in shielding humanity across the span of reality. It would only be in later life that her waking presence would remember any trace of the eternity spent among the cosmos.

While the length of development for the child was no longer than any other, the timelines of each reality flow differently, and so by the time the psionic wish bestowed upon the child could be fulfilled, of a reality that she could be safely born into, was ready, decades had passed back home in the reality of her nonbirth. When her brother's power was depleted in the line of duty, she was pulled back into her own reality. While she was no longer so intensely lethal to Susan Storm as she had been, the sudden and forced return of the child posed rather more 'normal' biological complications, and a disastrous labor began shortly. Many doubt that the genius of Reeds Richards could have saved his wife and child had he been present, but it fell not to the master of science to save his family, but perhaps his greatest foe. Abroad to treat with Latveria at the moment of cosmic inception, only the blended power of science and magic that Doom possessed enabled both child and mother to survive the labor, not least from her mother's relatively advanced age for the process of childbirth.

Despite a long history of conflict, Victor's role in saving the life of Susan and her returned daughter prompted Susan to name him the godfather of the child, and in turn he bestowed upon her two names, Valeria after his childhood love and Cynthia after his murdered mother, slain after a great and desperate journey, it seemed ideal for one who had fled across realities before she had even opened her eyes.

Valeria seemed for all examinations a normal child, not possessing the x-gene or any of the stranger abilities of her parents and uncle. While she seemed unusually astute and aware for a newborn, this was as much attributed to the magic of Doom than it was any lingering attributes. In reality, she was far more changed than could be measured at this stage, he consciousness advanced enough to both be aware of her vastly greater intelligence but also the advantages of concealing it. The world was changing, born in the aftermath of the Dark Phoenix's genocide, unexplained gifts held little comfort for the newly born.

Her 'normalcy' was something which Valeria Richards committed to presenting for her upbringing, hiding the great boon of her intelligence and maturity from even her parents. Growing up as the unexpected blessing of the Richards family as they transitioned into the equivalent of global royalty offered plenty of opportunity for this. Even as a young child she became the spoiled darling of a global empire. The beautiful blonde girl, a perfect propaganda icon for the world, her father and godfather were forging together, in contrast to the wars of their past. Her birth was often marked as the forging of this new bond of alliance, but that was simple fiction. It had been expedience and danger which had made allies of Doom and Richards. This was not to mean that Valeria did not grow up without some influence from her godfather, who's understanding of the greater mysteries perhaps gave him some inkling of the child's true nature. An inkling he did not share with Richards, enough of their old rivalry remaining that he felt this could someday be an advantage he could use.

Had Doom known how the girl used her unusual gifts, he might well have put aside this old grudge, as well before Valeria could even be marked as an adolescent she began her work to undermine the cruel reality she had ended up within. Flashes of the realms and realities she had passed through as an unborn entity assured her that there were better ways to handle the crisis of her world, and warned her of what would happen should the current path be followed. From within the complexes of her father and godfather's realm she helped to organise a new 'Railroad' for those the United Empire wished to persecute and imprison, named after the movements of the past who had helped save the enslaved from the crutches of the Confederacy.

Her efforts to hide her gifts proved all the more worthwhile as the persecution of the people of Earth proved to stretch even within the Richards family, with her own mother being imprisoned and the cruel punishment of those who tried to rescue her. While her mother had no doubt in part enabled the crimes of her father and godfather, it was still a great pain to the young girl and for once the sullen moods she presented were a true reflection of herself, although it was not long before the darling of the Empire was once more smiling for both dignitaries and crowds. As she had matured, the young woman was able to allow herself to shine a little more, in line with a high, but still reasonable, level of intelligence and ability for someone who had grown up alongside the greatest minds of humanity. This stretched beyond academic studies, delving into the sorcery of her godfather, using just enough flattery and flippent descriptions of her father to convince Doom to tutor her privately. Of course, she was in no time far more advanced in her studies of science and magic than she allowed her paired father figures to realise. No doubt on the occasions she was allowed to tour the facilities used to create and house KIVA neither of them, nor the condescending scientists who attempted to explain to the young woman in terms she would understand, felt her entirely out of her element. Instead, each tour only gave Valeria greater and greater concerns as she noted the flaws in her Father's work and the repercussions they could have.

Equipped with her supreme intelligence and the works of both Reed and Doom, unknowingly gleaned from them to a far greater extent than they realised, Valeria turned to greater acts of rebellion. Making contact with her father’s enemies in Wakanda and beyond, Valeria helped to form the Underground, incorporating the resources and experience of the surviving mutants of the age gone by and their one supporting state into the Railroad she had constructed within the United Empire. Initially her aim was always to aid mutants in escaping to Wakanda where they might be expected, with safe havens along the route intended only as temporary waystations, but as the Underground has grown in influence and power, this temporary measure has since been replaced with a more radical cause.

Intellect - Valeria's mind is unnatural, she can take in and ingest information at the capacity of only the greatest supercomputers with biological ingenuity to spare. To refer to her memory as eidetic is to play it down, within the scope of her mind are inferences and conclusions she could not possibly have witnessed but are instead conclusions drawn from logic paths and understanding vectors, filling her understanding of the world before she would even need to witness it. This has no doubt been useful for her understanding of science and magic, but is far more critical to the Underground Council as the primary node of the entire network, operations running through her as easily as a much greater computer network which would be far more vulnerable to hostile takeover.

Magic - Doom has willingly taught her what to him amounts to cantrips, seeking to strengthen his bond with her over that of her father. In doing so, he has unknowingly unlocked the full realm of magical research to the savant mind of Valeria Richards. After but a few introductory sessions with her godfather, she was able to begin her own experiments outside of his guidance. While she is no doubt some way from being able to match Doom, she is drawing closer at an exponential rate. Most critically, she has uncovered the existence of The Haazareth Three, the source of Doom's initial bond of magic. Already she has approached the demons, seeking to eventually subvert her godfather's place as their favoured scion on Earth. Alongside the darker elements of magic, her research has begun to reawaken her limited memories of the Vishanti, and as she reaches for one school of magic, another also grows steadily open to her.

Isaac Washington

Name: Isaac Washington
Codename: Heat
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 6’1
Weight: 190lbs
Ethnicity: Black American
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Religion: Agnostic
Occupation: Phoenix Order member

Powers/Abilities: Vocifery - Issac possesses the ability to utilize his voice in order to bend and warp reality. It would seem like he’d literally command the world with simply his voice, but this ability has its limitations. Issac is unable to manipulate the physical state of another, so directly inducing sickness or death to another is not possible. Also, when speaking he needs to rhyme his sentence in a rhythmic way that fits the context of whatever situation he’s in. He can't make a whale appear out of thin air in the middle of the city, but he could weaken the supports in a building and make it crumble on top of an enemy. He can use his power to alter himself physically, but it is based on his own knowledge and imagination. For instance, he could proclaim to be a god, but due to not knowing of the One Above All, he might just default to the power level of someone like Thor, a god, or what he’s witnessed Thor do.

Background: Isaac was born a mutant, but his X-Gene hadn’t surfaced until he reached his late teenage years, or perhaps his ability just hadn’t been noticed until then. His mutation was quite specific and he was born mute, he’d only have to look to his father when it pertained to mutant genes. Despite the world becoming more ethnically progressive, mutant kind were treating as second class citizens.

There were those that endured the hate and discrimination, but Isaac’s parents werent the type. When the Dark Phoenix arrived to liberate mutant kind, Isaac’s parents stood behind the movement. The likes of Charles Xavier had tried so long to have mutants be equal, but did so by constantly taking the the short end. Enough was enough. Just as the neanderthals faded from existence, so would the inferior humans. Mutants just needed to take their rightful place at the top of the food chain, and the Dark Phoenix had made it possible… at least for a time. Her death was one that should have broken the Phoenix Order, but hope prevailed in those that truly believed in the nature of the phoenix. It would return in time, and this time it wouldn’t be alone at the start.

Isaac grew up, supporting the Phoenix Order for as long as he could remember. Without his mutation, he did what he could. He fit into any busy work he could, a hard thing to accomplish when you were in the company of superpowered people. It were his dedication and initiative that put him the good graces of many in the order despite his lack of powers. He was told by the optimists that his mutation was there and he probably just needed to stumble upon it. Perhaps it was resurrection, immortality, or ability to speak to a specific creature he hadn’t come into contact with yet. They were possibilities, but Isaac was comfortable with what he had. He drove, delivered items and messages, organized items, entertained the young, cared for the old, spoke to the troubled, and if all else failed he was great company.

His father however, Robert Washington, was a true fighter using sonic abilities to conduct attacks on the enemy and help to actively support the cause. He was older, but that meant he was just more experienced with his abilities. A true gem amongst those in the order, so it was a dark day when died when ambushed during a sting operation conducted by the MRD. Avenging his father wasn’t a possibility. Not without powers. The worst part was that he didn’t think he could fill his father’s shoes. It wasn’t until he had given his father’s eulogy that his powers presented themselves. He had written in a poetic format with rhyme. Selene had approached him that very day and asked him if he wanted to make his father proud by serving the Phoenix Order in a different way than he had previously. To use his gift to change the world so it is prepared for the new Phoenix to arrive. All she asked was that he hone his gift, and she would allow Isaac to continue where his father left off.

Isaac did just that. He gained an understanding of his mutation, but also found it to be quite volatile. In the heat of the moment, he could say the wrong thing, become tongue-twisted, or simply lose his train of thought. This ability only worked based on how well he delivered his words and practicing that took time. He started by writing certain things down so he could just read off a paper, but he also found that limiting. If the context of the situation was different, then he’d be unable to aid his allies or save himself. Freestyling soon became his mode of using his strange ability. It was more difficult, but far more versatile.

Things seemed to be picking up until he received a vision from seemingly his future self. It was odd, as he was given vague directions. He was warned about KIVA being the larger threat and how he needed to help some woman infiltrate the Ultimates. It’ll work! Primora! The timing is what gets her in! You’ll know when you meet her! Get to NYC! Help her! Help Primora!

Isaac didn’t have much to go off on except knowing he had to venture to NYC and he’d meet a woman. He requested he be allowed to operate within a cell of the Phoenix Order in the Big Apple, and in a week’s time he was there. Based in the Bronx, but operating within downtown Manhattan. He had been recently tasked with staking out Oscorp for a rescue mission of Selena’s closest partner, Travis. He did not partake in the attack, but best believe he wished he had. Any chance to hit the MRD or the Ultimates would be a grand time to be alive.
