The story's premise takes place in one of the many alternate realities in marvel's vast multiverse. This one takes place in Eartrh 609 which is a blend of the Marvel Cinematic Universe & traditional marvel comics universe Earth 616. The world of this story shares similar history to both of those worlds as well as relatively similar history to the real world. In the year 2006 the existence of mutants was revealed to the global public, followed by two years later Tony Stark emerging as Iron Man in 2008 & starting the age of heroes. Several other legendary heroes rose up to the scene including Captain America, Thor, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, X Men & The Avengers. As in the MCU the Avengers were formed in the year 2012 as a response to a Chitari invasion led by Loki to enslave humanity as vengeance for Odin seeking Thor to inherit the throne of Asgard.

In this alternate reality, the golden age of heroes lasted for a solid 20 years but came to quick bloody end in 2028. Around this time mutant-human relations were fragile at best in response to both mutant heroes & villains who served to tarnish the name of their kind & fuel anti mutant fear-monger campaigns. The worst of all came that year when popular X Men Jean Grey lost control of the Phoenix Force, turning into the Dark Phoenix when her husband Scott Summers was killed during a rescue operation of refugee mutants in Russia being brutally experimented on by a secret military faction to develop a mutant army for Russia. Ultiately Dark Phoenix slaughetered everyone at the base, liberating the mutants & infusing Summers with a fraction of the Phoenix to revive him from the dead. Then seeking out Magneto she launched a violent campaign to "liberate" mutants from oppression across the world, slaughtering millions & establishing mutant tyranny on earth clashing with the supehero community at large while still recruiting many mutants tired of oppression & ostracization to her side.

Jean's psyche fractured once Scott was killed a second time in conflict with the Avengers, causing her to disintegrate most of the remaining team plus the group they'd gathered to launch a final attack on Jean. In the end they succeeded in barely vaporizing Jean, although they'd simply teleported her across the universe. She made a bloody cosmic thrust back towards earth demolishing 19 alien planets on her way back in a time span of 3 weeks returning right as the Phoenix Order, the radical mutant supremacy group she'd started was starting to be overwhelmed by resistance forces. In the final battle Doctor Strange with access to the soul stone managed to summon Scott Summers spirit uncorrupted by the Dark Phoenix to appeal to Jean. In the end she broke down gained control of the Phoenix & used her power to destroy herself as well as the majority of her order.

The RP takes place 40 years after the horrific Dark Phoenix Incident. The world is a far darker place, due to the Phoenix Incident, humanity has had hostile encounters with nine alien species over the years seeking vengeance for the Phoenix's destruction of their home worlds. The entire world is under control of the strict United Empire, formerly the United States who managed to gain control of the world following World War 3 15 years after the Phoenix Incident. The leaders of other countries still exist but they are all apart of the United Security Council/USC which all countries on earth now answer to. Anti Mutant Laws have been implemented around the world declaring all mutants a threat to the public & mandatory detainment in mutant concentration camps/prison labs erected around the globe. The world has grown more weary, spiteful & hateful towards mutants unlike ever before, with the United Empire voting on a new bill XCure or XTerminate Act which mandates scientists must cure/vaccinate the X Gene depowering the mutant populace or execute them in order to preserve humanity both from the perceived threat of mutants & also from foreign political pressure from aliens now that humanity has become part of the galactic community many of whom fear that as long as mutants exist another Dark Phoenix could rise.

The world's greatest scientific minds came together to form a group called THOUGHT with intelligent individuals such as Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Henry Pym, the creator of Sentinels, etc developing a reprogrammed AI version of Ultron named KIVA. This program was built to develop a global anti response unit to super threats including mutant terrorists, alien invasions & perhaps even egotistical gods seeking to be worshipped again in this great period of darkness for the world. Little do they know that KIVA has taken after it's originator Ultron in seeing humanity as flawed & incapable of leading earth to it's true intergalatic glory with them in charge. The days of humans ruling the earth are coming to a close, as KIVA sinisterly plans to cause a rise of machine over both man & mutant as well as a nuclear apocalypse in nine months time. Meanwhile Scientists are on the cutting edge of developing a potential "Cure" for the X Gene with the aid of KIVA, one which will require mandatory injection, or imprisonment/death.

Solid.

Just to put it out there, my character idea would be a descendent between X-23 and Miles Morales, leaning more towards the Wolverine family as being the supporting cast.

I don't plan on him having adamantium claws though, to be clear.

@DClassified

A mixture of the spiderman & Wolverine mythos/families that should be interesting. I can't wait to see what you cook up, why'd you say you don't plan on them having admantium claws? Like are you saying this character will have claws like X/23 & Wolverine but just regular ones?

@Chulance

My idea is them having bones that could expand out into spikes/claws, similar to how real tarantulas can shoot spines/kick off their back hairs. His hereditary abilities are more so influenced by Laura as an actual mutant with the X-Gene, whereas Miles is a mutate but still his dad.

[Red7VII]

Got a few ideas so far, but the one I am leaning heavily toward is an offspring of Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, that ends up inheriting the gear. Instead of a villain, he'd be a good guy type, which means I've got to come up with an offensive weapon that is less lethal than twin pistols, lol.

Should have something together sometime this weekend or sooner.

[Ultimate Spidey]

Got some ideas brewing.

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.

[The Man Emperor]

Ganymede Madrigal; AKA Hyperdrive

Appearance

Masked Appearance

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.

Andrew Hernandez aka Showstopper

Civilian Appearance

Vigilante Appearance

Name:

Andrew Hernandez

Codename:

Showstopper

Age:

20

Gender:

Male

Height:

6’2’’

Weight:

140 lbs

Ethnicity:

Mexican-American

Sexual Orientation:

Heterosexual

Religion:

Magic

Occupation:

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).

[Sanity43217]

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.

For your consideration:

The Hood v2.0

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.

I just put the IC up, I'd advise everyone to place their characters in New York. As of now in the beginning stages of this storyline, the focus of the plot will take place in the Big Apple for now.

Personality:

”What ya’ looking at Boyo?”

Tori is a spunky young lady that was training to be a journalist (tv reporter). While in college her roommate was attacked by a Mutant and she was killed. Tori was also injured in the attack(which lead to her post cognition powers). This sent Tori in a different direction, applying to the FBI academy, with her grades and having three generations of police officers in her family, she was motivated and was accepted.

She made it through the training and made Special Agent (There are those that think she was given special treatment) and assigned to media relations. Her claim to fame is vlog “Anti-Mutant News” where she reports on the evils of mutants. She still runs the vlog with official sanction of the USC. She occasionally is assigned to a team in the MRD. This is helpful as aiding mutants and working with mutants may also be crimes.

Tori is athletic, creative, and attractive. She prefers shooting her 45 spare to the standard issue 9mm.
Tori does not put up with crap from people. She likes to play the crazy Hispanic woman bad cop.

Powers/Abilities:

Tori’s power is postcognition - (The ability to read past events from objects and items. Downside: She feels like she was there at the time.)
Mental invisibility- (Not readable by telepath or electronics. Downside: looks like random brain waves to doctors.)

Tori is a black belt in Akido and Arnis.
She is a good marksman (not sniper).
She has her private pilots license.

She has a lot of powerful connections.

Weaknesses:
Using her power makes her feel like she is there. If investigating a murder scene she might feel like the victim or the attacker.
She does not believe everyone is bad, or that all laws are right, but she is more apt to be harder on a mutant than a normal human.

Background:

Long Bio

When you are the oldest girl in a family of New York Cops, you do anything else. When you are a beauty pageant winner (Ms. New York) and driven to ask questions (and are nosy) you look at going into the media. When your best friend is killed by a Mutant and you are hurt, you fight back with all you got.

Coming from a family of cops and having lived the parent life, where half a pound of fat is enough to ruin your chances. Tori was in great physical shape. Her martial arts training came from growing up in a house of cops and with a lot of male cousins and brothers.

Tori’s powers are the result of the attack on her roommate and herself. She is still fully human but her brain was slightly retired.

Tori’s code

• Tori believes that mutants should be locked-up to keep people safe.
• Tori will follow the law. She will not lie to protect an agent or cop.
• Tori will not plant evidence.
• Tori will not put up with someone talking crap at her.

Contacts

@Meleck NICE!

Finally another antagonistic character! Interesting that you choose to put her in the FBI rather then the MRD/Mutant Response Division. I say that only because the MRD specailizes in mutant criminals, however the FBI has federal jurisidiction over all federal crimes.

The FBI now has global reach & jurisidiction in this RP since World War 3 in this RP & the USA taking over the world becoming the United Empire.

One thing I'll point out is your profile picture for Tori does not work, you should updat it to a working picture. Also if she's not a vigilante you can erase the "Vigilante" appearance section.

Question what is "mental invisbility" and she gained her powers from a mutant attack? Is she a mutant herself or a non mutant superhuman. Only asking because only non mutant superhumans can work in the government or any jobs at all. It's a crime to be a mutant in the RP, and the punishment for being a mutant is life in prison or execution if they refuse to be administered a dose of the mutant cure.

Finally I love Tori's code, aside from what I stated she's good to go. Address those concerns I brought up and transfer her to the character tab Meleck! :)

[Meleck]

I don’t have a pick for her yet. Doing this on my phone. It stinks trying to edit there. It rolled on an Marvel Character generator site!!

Her powers are from a head trauma caused by the mutant attack.

She is a non-mutant.

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...

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.
