â– 2001-2007 | Early years
Otto was born in 2001, just six days after the bombing that changed the world. The son of a British MI6 agent and a French fashion designer, Whitestone's early years were not very ordinary. Sometimes the boy moved for security reasons as his father worked in the counterterrorism section, sometimes he traveled to accompany his mother to fashion shows and numerous Fashion Weeks. Despite these experiences, Whitestone was able to develop into a smart and intelligent kid with a strong desire to succeed, to do well. He was always eager to prove himself to his parents, and his father's colleagues at MI6. His mother, on the other hand, saw him only as a child, and a rather lonely one at that.
He was born with a fair white skin and strong black hair. Otto never had many friends. He was an introvert at best, but even then, people rarely sought him out. He was shy by nature, unable to express much emotion or enthusiasm towards any activity. It didn't help that Clara's career, as a top fashion designer, often took him overseas on business. Otto was an old soul in a young body and loved going to art galleries, and museums. He was hypnotised by paintings above all things. Art was a form of magic for him, and it was one of the few things he found solace in. His family believed he could do anything. They were really suportive, and enrolled their son in a gifted programme in London, with private professors. He started painting cute animals and his mother proudly hung them in her living room and office.
It was around his sixth birthday that Otto's life changed dramatically. During a thunderous night, the boy had a nightmare in which he was floating on his own body. He couldn't communicate with anyone, not even his parents in the next room. But he saw other creatures occupying the spaces of his house that had always seemed so empty. Some looked like people. Others were indescribable. They didn't look like any of the animals he had known or used to paint. It was nearly dawn when Otto woke up screaming. He went straight to his mum who was sleeping peacefully. When she heard Otto's sobs, she immediately ran to her son, who was standing right in front of her, eyes still open wide. And a streak of white stood out among his dark hairs.
The boy's dreams became more and more frequent and always included the same strange creatures roaming the house. With each new dream a new tuft of hair turned white. No doctor could explain what caused the boy's head to whiten, but apart from his troubled state of consciousness, there was nothing that seemed to be wrong with him. When he had his dreams or got nervous, his mother noticed that strange things also happened around the house. Glass windows would break. Furniture or statues would fall. Electronic devices burned. It was then that Clara decided to hire a medium to understand what was happening in her house and with her son.

â– 2008-2010 | Training with the witch
It was around this time that Agatha Harkness, a self-declared witch, began to frequent the Whitestone residence. She was a middle-aged woman of average height, with short gray hair, green eyes, and pale pink lipstick. She was always polite and wore extravagant clothes. Most importantly, she was a woman Clara and Otto felt they could trust. She spent most of her time in Otto's room, teaching him to read, write, and play tarot cards. She taught him about the different types of spirits, demons and witches, and how to avoid them. She also taught him that he was gifted and that his dreams were actually a manifestation of his Astral Projection powers.
When Agatha arrived, Clara was surprised to see her. She was expecting someone older, maybe in her fifties. Sometimes Agatha would bring her black cat Ebony beside her. The animal seemed smarter than the others. It never came near the boy but seemed to watch over him while the witch spoke with Clara and the Otto. Agatha often called the cat “Creature of Imagination.” As soon as she sat down, Ebony would jump onto her lap. Clara's fashion shows became less and less frequent as she worried for her son. She wasn't sure she believed in ghosts and demons, but ever since the witch had come into her house, his bad dreams and weird accidents became less persistent.
Agatha's visits became less recurring each time. She had taught him everything the boy's childish mind could absorb at that moment. She had left him in a state where his involuntary projections during sleep could easily be stopped with concentration and started teaching the boy to do them while awake. His eyes went completely white as he did, taking on a dry, cracked porcelain look. Clara didn't like her son doing it. She thought he was having some sort of seizure or just joking and rolling his eyes to scare her. Anyway, she was happy to see her son's suffering reduced.

â– 2011-2015 | The accident
The more time Otto spent with Agatha, the more distant he became from his father. There was something foul about his presence. It was as if Otto felt repelled by the person he had once loved so much. And over time that disgust had begun to become visible. At the same time that the boy saw in his mother an aura of light and tranquility, he saw a terrible orange haze around his father. Looking at him felt like the equivalent of smelling an unpleasant smell from the sewers of London. It was much later that the boy understood that he also possessed the ability to read souls. And his father's face hid secrets that his soul revealed.
A few months after Agatha's last visit, Clara enrolled her son in a school specializing in visual arts. Along the way, Otto's paintings became more unique and he already demonstrated a signature trait. The pictures were almost surreal and each frame contained an easter egg of one of the creatures he claimed to see while projecting his soul. Although the school curriculum seemed adequate to help the boy develop his innate talent, Otto had become more introspective than ever. He couldn't make new friends and the few he had left drifted away. It seemed like he became so attached to Agatha and Ebony that he forgot about being a kid.
One fateful afternoon, while he was painting a sketch of Ebony in his sketchbook in the school grounds, one of his older classmates began to bully and tease him about his white hair. After a few nudges, the aggression started to escalate and the boy kicked Otto in the stomach, leaving him on the ground. In an outbreak of control, Otto released an electrical blast from his hands that left the bully in a coma and the three witnesses who were in the courtyard in shock.
The Whitestone family quickly became the target of British tabloids. The London population began a boycott of Clara's clothing brand Aether and the couple no longer felt safe living in public view, so they decided to move to the countryside. It didn't take long for the headlines to catch the attention of Charles Xavier who contacted the family and offered the boy a place at his prestigious School for Gifted Youngsters. Clara, however, did not want to see her son going overseas and decided to decline the offer.
Afraid of hurting anyone else, Otto insisted that he be homeschooled and strongly distanced himself from his parents. He couldn't get close to them, as he felt that at any moment he could have them trapped in a bed, as he had done with poor boy James back at school. He missed Agatha all the time. He felt that if she were still present in his life, he would have more control over his abilities. Despite moving away from his parents, it was during this period that he began to develop a friendship with Chord, the son of the mansion's cook.
The unlikely friendship began at the insistence of Chord Blarendale, who was not content to watch the son of his mother's employers holed up in a room painting sad and bizarre pictures all day. It took him a while to break through Otto's resistance, but once he did, he managed to bring out the best in the boy. Clara had been extremely happy to see her son with some spark of life back in his eyes.
The boys spent so much time in the kitchen around Mrs. Blarendale that Otto discovered a second passion. His best friend's mother, once a chef at a large Swiss restaurant, was thrilled to teach him the patient art of cooking. Otto felt that he was composing pieces with his plates, just as he was doing with his paintings. He was a perfectionist in everything he did. His paintings were meticulously painted, and his plates were painstakingly assembled. He thought of Agatha's advice as he did both activities. "Concentration is the key to control."

â– 2016-Present | Happy days
A few months after his 14th birthday, his father decided to return to London, but Clara insisted that the countryside was the safest environment for Otto. The boy wasn't sure if it was his safety or that of others that his mother was concerned about. He couldn't judge her anyway. At the age of 15, his relationship with Chord evolved and they ended up becoming lovers. When he was old enough, he applied to Oxford University's Fine Art program to which he was accepted.
Leaving Chord behind was a difficult decision, but one that Otto insisted on. Life felt different now. He had learned to suppress his powers and making friends in college wasn't as difficult as he remembered it being in his school years. His white hair gave him a unique look and no one seemed to remember the scandal a few years ago when a strange boy electrocuted a classmate into a coma.
At university, Otto was a popular boy. He attended parties and had many paramours, as he was a very attractive young man. But the best phase of his life so far came to an abrupt halt when his father enrolled him in a European Union military program without his consent or that of his mother. He didn't know the details of anything. But as soon as he was shown the picture of James, the boy he had electrocuted still in a hospital bed, he agreed to voluntarily leave for Italy. Istituto Nova per Giovani Eccezionali was waiting for him.

â– Astral Projection:
The first of the mutant abilities to manifest in Otto was Astral Projection. It is the skill in which the boy exerts the most control, but it still happens involuntarily while he sleeps. In this state, his spirit detaches from his body and he is able to travel at high speeds, communicate with the spirits present, and cause interference with electronic devices. However, his physical body becomes vulnerable as he loses complete control of it. The eyes on his physical body turn white and dry like cracked porcelain.
â– Possession:
An underexplored by-product of Otto's ability to astrally project is the ability to possess people and animals. Some people can be more difficult to control than others, and the host's memories and trauma affect the boy. Animals are easier to control in general.
â– Soul Reading:
Otto can see the aura that people's souls emit. At first, he was only able to do this with people close to him, with whom he had daily contact, but over time he acquired more control over the skill and can already tell a lot about someone's personality and past by the characteristics of their aura.
â– Chaos Chanelling:
This is the skill over which the young man has the least control. In a state of stress, Otto's body becomes a channel through which the energies of the spirit world manifest themselves in a chaotic way. The result is always unexpected, but it usually affects the weather, makes animals feel disconcerted and objects to break. It can also have an effect on people, making them feel intimidated or petrified.
â– Electric Powers:
When Otto channels the chaos energy of the spirit world at a certain frequency, the electrons in the air move around generating an electrical current that normally goes to the object of the boy's stress.

â– 2001-2015 | Early Years
Alice was born in a modest home in Sweden. Her parents were manual workers at a mining company in Lycksele and could never have a life that seemed dignified for such a pretty girl. From the day she was born, Alice's appearance seemed to mysteriously enchant anyone who looked at her. The child had an angelic face with wide eyes, fair skin, blonde hair, and rosy lips that made it impossible to ignore her under any circumstances. She was so sweet; everyone would volunteer to take care of her. Her mother died in a car accident when she was seven, leaving her father alone with his other two children. They moved to the countryside to start over, hoping they could create a new life somewhere far away from the memories of the past.
She always felt like someone was watching her. No matter where she went, people always seemed to be looking at her. She was a good child, always helping her father with chores or keeping him company whenever he was at work. Everyone at school always tried to include her in everything they did. It wasn't hard to see why she enjoyed spending time with all of them. There was just something about this place, a feeling of nostalgia that was constantly around, and she felt a strange comfort in it all. The only problem was whenever she left there was always the risk of being followed by some stranger. For a reason she couldn't understand, people always did what she asked. After some time, even her father could not resist any of her wishes. It benefited her at school, as although she didn't excel in some subjects, the teachers didn't seem to mind.

â– 2015-2021 | Modeling Career
At the age of 15, a talent scout discovered Alice through her social media, which already showed some presence. He invited her to a photo test and, despite her father's protest, Alice was delighted with the idea of becoming a model. She was more than willing to learn whatever she needed to, no matter how little money she had on her side. Her father, however, wasn't so sure about it; he thought modeling and posing before strangers wasn't a very realistic job choice. However, Alice didn't listen to him and it paid off. Several agencies were fighting to have her on their catalog and soon she found herself working in many different shoots in various countries. Some weeks she spent in New York City, while most years she traveled throughout Europe. At first, the fame and attention came with much effort on her part but, gradually, after several months and some great success, it became easier. Even though she was often busy in between shoots, she still visited often, always returning with new stories of excitement or new models to show her father.
Her unique look granted her the nickname "Marilyn" because she really looked like the legendary Marilyn Monroe. Many magazines and fashion shows praised her beauty, elegance, and intelligence; many of her peers envied her, but modeling felt so natural for her. She would only watch videos of veteran models like Naomi Campbell or Linda Evangelista and would be able to replicate their moves instantly. With the right attitude, people fell head over heels for her, which gave her even more confidence. She knew how to control herself. As her mother once told her when she had just turned eight, "You don't have to be too perfect, darling. Just be yourself." In return, she was able to take her father off his hard job and give her younger brothers better life conditions. She attracted the attention of many powerful and rich men who would gift her expensive jewelry, money, or even properties expecting nothing in return. At the age 18, she had two apartments, one in New York and the other in Paris, where two of the most important fashion weeks would take place.

â– 2021-2022 | Mutant

â– 2002-10 | Quiet Beginnings
Carrie was born in South Dakota to John and Sidney Mullen. They owned a ranch on the western side of the Missouri River, where Carrie helped as much as she could between school days. At first, they thought Carrie had some kind of birth defect, because she had a pair of oddly stiff protrusions on the back ends of her shoulders. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with the newborn, so they chalked it up to a deformity and told her parents to simply watch her health closely. Her father wished that they would have a son who could work on the ranch, since they weren’t successful enough that they could pay for workers, and the only other person living with them was Sidney’s brother, but it didn’t matter when they had to raise their daughter. The oddities surrounding her birth didn’t prove to affect her health, but within the first few weeks that Carrie was at home, those fleshy nubs near her shoulder blades began to grow at an alarming rate, and within a week, their baby had an extra pair of arms. It was at that point that they realized their daughter was a mutant. Naturally, their first thought was to call the doctors, because they knew very little about mutants other than the fact that they existed.
The doctors were more knowledgeable on the subject, and told John and Sidney that children typically developed mutant abilities around adolescence, but there were times when physical changes occurred instead of supernatural one, such was the case with their infant Carrie. She was unique in her own way, and all they could do was support her. The doctors did a check up on her skin, and assumed it would simply grow and develop differently like the extra arms. As the years went by, her mother researched as much about mutants as she could with her brother Rick. It was hard to believe that something some far off and baffling as superpowers could be present in their daughter, but no one said being a parent would be easy. Rick and Sidney did the best they could with Carrie, but John Mullen was a hard man. The only reason he tried to have a child in the first place was to have a son that could help on the ranch. He took care of her like a father should have, but he was just that; A father, not a dad. John Mullen put the ranch before anything else, and so he didn't expect a deformed little girl to do any of the hard work outside the house. From the moment she could tie her shoes however, Carrie proved she could pull her own weight. By the time she was ten years old, Carrie was able to pull a defiant horse into a stable by the reigns with the strength in her arms, and slowly drag a steel plow across the ground if she needed. While these things dissuaded her father's assumptions that a little girl couldn't handle heavy lifting, it didn't put a smile on his face, he simply told Carrie, "Fine. You can work, just don't get yourself hurt."
Carrie grew up dedicating as much time as she could get away with to the ranch despite her father's cold idea of affection. John handled the horses and the cows, while Rick and Sidney mostly handled the crops. Carrie simply helped everyone with everyone, being an energetic child who wanted to just be active. It was hard to connect with her father, since he was the type of man who refused to accept help from people that he didn't need it from. From an early edge, John Mullen put too much time into the "tough" part of tough love.
â– 2010-16 | Alone in the Crowd
As Carrie progressed through school, she was the perpetual odd one out. People didn't like mutants as much her parents when they didn't have to raise one, so she was bullied for having four arms by everyone. She struggled to make friends because people were creeped out by her. In her classes, she did the best she could to learn, but when Carrie tried to ask a teacher for help, she was ignored. No one stepped in to stop the bullying that sometimes got physical unless she punched someone in the face for it, earning her a stay in detention. By the time she reached high school, Carrie wasn't around the usual faces as much, but all the strangers in her class couldn't help but stare at her. She had to wear tank tops because nothing else fit her unusually broad shoulders, and dress codes meant she wore jackets every day. It was a weird sight to many people when an extra pair of hands poked out under her sleeves. When she tried to make friends, the first questions she got asked were usually, "Are you one of those mutants?" or "Are you some kind of monster?"
Carrie didn't stop trying, and every now and then someone was nice enough that she could call them a friend, but they didn't stay long when they were able to replace the "freaky farm girl" with a two-armed person that did more than talk to cows and drive a tractor. Carrie was effectively a social outcast, and her usual outbursts against bullies only made her less likeable. Her grades were fine on days when she understood subjects taught, and they tanked when teachers tried to avoid talking to her. Carrie started spiraling downwards halfway through high school, when her grades rarely went above a C average despite her constant attempts to get help. Eventually she was told she had to attend afterschool programs to bring her grade up, but when she said she had to help her parents at home, the principal had a meeting with her father. Her father was disappointed that a girl who was anything but lazy was doing so bad in school. During the meeting they had, the principal said that Carrie never tried to do better, and that she was smart enough to do good in school if she simply tried. Carrie instantly exploded on the man, releasing roughly two to three years of frustration in front of them both. Carrie's father had to drag her out of the office to make sure she didn't swing on him.
The drive home after that incident was silent. Rick offered to help her with schoolwork when she was home, but Carrie's mother decided she needed to change schools after the summer. That was exactly what they did. Over the summer, Carrie went all in when it came to working at home. Eventually she completely forgot about all the negativity of life outside the ranch, but Carrie never got closer to her father. Overtime, it got more and more frustrating trying to be close to the man who never so much as smiled in her general direction, so she stopped trying. She loved Rick and Sidney, but her father was just someone she did work alongside and got pissed off by over things. Unfortunately, things only got worse from there. Between bad weather and a farm that got up and running not far from theirs, things got stressful for her parents. To make matters worse, Carrie transferred to another high school at 16, which was an hour away. Things were easier on her mentally and socially, but only because she resorted to covering up to hide her mutation. She did this for the rest of high school, and still had challenges with classwork that were fixed by her uncle Rick back home. The added time spent with his help at home and her being away longer put a strain on things that her parents had to bend or break for.
The worst would come when John died in a car accident during the winter after Carrie changed schools. The roads were frozen over, and he drove off into a ditch, he was crushed, and didn't make it to the hospital.
â– 2016-Present | Distant Green Summers
The next three years were nothing but sad for Carrie. Months after John's funeral, her uncle was planning to leave for greener pastures, and Sidney turned more inward with each passing day. There was still some love in the woman's heart, but between the heartache everyone felt and the work to keep their ranch running, being emotionally available wasn't very high on anyone's list. Most of the work fell onto Carrie's shoulders. Carrie always thought that she could've handled everything with two hands tied behind her back, but this wasn't how she imagined that would be the case. It was stressful for her, but having four arms and a lot of mutant muscle helped greatly when two or three people were needed for something. Her time was now split between finishing the last year of high school, looking after her still-grieving mother, and the business side of things that Sidney typically managed. Carrie finished the school year, but she didn't attend graduation.
After her mother turned out like John emotionally, there wasn't much left in Carrie's life that she could look forward to. She kept to her routine over the summer after high school because it was normalcy. It was all she had left. Carrie didn't have school anymore, so she could at least take solace in knowing she didn't have any outside distractions. At least, she could have if the ranch was still standing. One day, Carrie was walking back to the house late after tending to the crops and saw smoke in the air. She ran as fast as she could and saw that the house was on fire. Carrie called out for Sidney, but couldn't find her. It took another five minutes before she found Sidney unconscious and non-responsive. Carrie picked her up with all four arms and tried to haul her out of the burning house, but a piece of the roof caved in on top of them both, and everything went black.
Carrie woke up in a hospital far from home, in a room with people like her. She was informed of what happened. The kitchen caught on fire when Sidney forgot to turn the stove off, and she didn't make it. Rick was informed as well, but she hadn't heard from him since John died. At this point, Carrie had nothing left, so after two days of recovery in the hospital from a concussion, she took up the offer to leave the ashes of her home and move across the world to Insituto Nova. She saw the video confirming her agreement just for peace of mind, but Carrie needed the change. Her life up until that point had gone to a sad place, without closeness and full of defense mechanisms she used to hide herself from people she didn't trust with her secret as a mutant. There was just one problem, though.
She doesn't speak Italian.

â– Power 1: Polymelia
When Carrie was born, she grew an extra set of arms. These arms protrude from a split in her skeletal system at the shoulders, and she has enough articulation to use each one independently. She can use these extra arms to navigate awkward environments better than most people and carry extra things. Each hand has enough grip strength that Carrie can support her entire body with just four fingers. Carrie can use both sets of arms like extra legs to "run" faster than most people in the way a horse or a dog runs on all fours.
Having four arms means that Carrie is very top-heavy. She often bends her knees slightly and keeps her arms away from her body to keep her balance. It also makes wearing certain types of clothing considerably awkward because of how wide her shoulders are.

â– Power 2: Enhanced Strength
While not quite comparable to super strength, Carrie's body has a lot more muscle than most people can maintain. With all four arms, Carrie could slowly push a tractor across a road or carry a fully-grown adult person with minimal effort. The most weight she's ever lifted was around 230lb.

â– YEAR-YEAR | In the Beginning
Nathan was born in the Canadian province of New Brunswick to a single mother that worked at a bank. It wasn't until he was a few years old that his mother realized he was different from other children. At the age of 3, he lacked the ability to see things very well. A doctor diagnosed him as being born blind. It was hard to deal with for his mother, but Nathan's life went on all the same as she did her best to support him. As Nathan grew older, it was determined he wasn't entirely blind, but was still close enough that he was heavily impaired. By the age of eight, he began to display signs of mutation as objects around him started floating. His mother told him he was a mutant, but never explained why she knew this so easily. From then on, Nathan's life was spent learning about his powers and discovering that his mutant genes were the source of his perception issues. It made things easier knowing he could use his powers to see better, but mutants were frowned upon, so once his eyes began to emit a white fog, things got harder on the already disadvantaged boy. Roughly a year after his powers were in full development, Nathan's mother put him in contact with some other people that she knew that were also mutants.
One day, he met three people who all had powers. Before then, he never met another mutant, but he learned a lot from them. To Nathan's eyesight, they looked nearly identical to his mother, as all four of them glowed a strange white color, where most people didn't. All of them talked for hours, and the three of them eventually mentioned that they were a "superhero team." Nathan had heard about them before, like the Avengers in the states, but he never thought he'd run into someone like that. They were called Blackhawk. The three were known to the outside world as Marble, Behelit, and Adamant. They used codenames to keep their identities secret, but Nathan had never heard of such a group. Meeting Blackhawk changed the trajectory of Nathan's life for better or worse, but to the discomfort of his mother.
Marble had the power to produce a handful of small spheres that he could use to teleport from one to another by setting them up. Each sphere was another point to shuffle people across an area with. Behelit had superhuman agility that let her scale buildings in seconds, and could retreat into a pocket dimension. Adamant had indestructible arms that could punch through solid steel without so much as a scratch. Compared to the near-blind telekinetic boy, his mother's friends looked like the stuff of legends. Their conversation spanned most of the day, but Nathan could remember Behelit pacing around rather anxiously for most of it, saying they needed to remember how long they were here. His mother seemed to share her concerns, and they had to go soon after. Marble gave Nathan a way to contact him, but specifically said not to tell his mother about it. He handed Nathan a folded up note with a phone number and a tiny green ball that glowed the same as him.
Shortly after Blackhawk left Nathan's home, the police showed up at his door asking rather intensely if he had seen a group of people that looked like his mother's friends. The police gave him a verbal description of four people rather than three, but before he could say anything, his mother told the cops that she saw them drive towards a nearby city, except they didn't drive anywhere. They vanished into thin air in front of Nathan half an hour before then. Nathan didn't fully understand what was happening at the time, but he had a suspicion that something was up, so he consulted the internet. Very slow and extensive google searches, read through an electronic braille pad, turned up very little about a group called Blackhawk, except for news reports saying they were in rather distant parts of the country at random times. One article said they were in San Fransisco when another said they were in Vancouver the next day. All that Nathan could gather was that something was odd about them. He tried to text Marble afterwards, but it took him days to read the phone number well enough that he could understand it.
â– 2001-2014 | Chance of a Lifetime
Two days after Nathan met Blackhawk, he woke up to the sound of yelling at roughly 3am. He flew down the stairs to see his mother in front of multiple dimly-glowing police officers pointing guns at her. One of them took a very callous shot at the young mutant who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and missed slightly. That, however, was the point at which the floor seemed to erupt into the same pattern of light that Nathan's mother glowed with, and the floor became a wall. Nathan realized what knew deep down: His mother was also a mutant. She screamed for him to run, and the first thing he did was fly back up the stairs, scramble for his phone and desperately punch a message into his phone. Even after he managed to work out Marble's contact information, he only responded to Nathan every now and then, saying he rarely got service where he went. The message, a simple "We need help," went through, and less than five seconds passed before the Blackhawk trio was suddenly standing in his room. They all went downstairs to help his mother, and Adamant immediately started swinging at the police officers, completely unphased by their bullets. In the chaos, he heard Marble yell the word "Jotun," which his mother responded to. She told them to take him away from here, that Nathan "couldn't stay with her anymore."
Nathan was only 13 when this happened, but before he could even get a word in about what she meant or who Jotun was, his abstract vision was washed over with Marble's strange pattern, and he along with Marble, Behelit and Adamant were gone. In the blink of an eye, they were transported a hundred miles south towards the border of Canada leading into the state of Maine. The trio told Nathan everything. His mother used to be a part of Blackhawk under the name Jotun. She was a terrakinetic, and left them years ago on bittersweet terms when he was born. Blackhawk was wanted by the Canadian government, accusing them of treason and authorizing kill-on-sight orders on each of them. Blackhawk told Nathan that Jotun was more than capable of defending herself from those cops, but he couldn't stay with her anymore. Adamant told the kid that they all owed his mother a life-long favor for something she did for them in the past, and so he became one of them. Everything felt like a massive blur for the boy, effectively losing his only family member and being taken in by fugitive being the least of the things on his mind.
Nathan didn't have anywhere else to go, so he officially joined Blackhawk. From then on, he was known to the world as Cloudchaser.
â– 2014-2019 | High Above the Clouds
Blackhawk was a group hated by two separate governments, but loved by the people they helped. The group used teleportation to bounce from Canadian province to province, and American state to state in a matter of minutes. Some mutants in the world took to using their powers for evil, and Blackhawk made it their job to help people against such mutants as well as anyone who would do harm to the superpowered population. In the early days of mutants, hatred fueled the masses, and attacks on the small population were to be expected. Whenever Blackhawk heard of these assaults happening, they'd show up to stop it and protect the endangered. "Evil" mutants that posed a threat to everyone around them were met with four-to-one fights which Cloudchaser took part of. Adamant always hit the hardest, but Cloudchaser couldn't be touched. These fights typically resulted in people being saved and a certain "villain," as they called them, being beaten into the dirt for someone to contain. Propaganda spread about the infamous group, calling them terrorists who brutalized their own people, despite the government of both countries having little sympathy for mutants in the first place.
The next five years of Nathan's life were spent running alongside Blackhawk, who became his closest friends. He never heard from his mother again, and he only assumed the worst. Being 13 when he effectively went rogue in the eyes of two countries meant that he never finished, or even got used to high school, and being the only kid on the team made the difference more noticeable. It was just something he had to live with, since his educational potential was already compromised from birth due to his vison. Over the years, he learned how to use his powers to fly, and he quickly fell in love with soaring through the open sky, thousands of feet above the ground, faster than a train. Despite the chaotic circumstances of his childhood, and the fact that Blackhawk never stayed in one place for very long, Cloudchaser felt alive in every sense of the word. His trips into the states let him see a lot of the world that he wouldn't have any other way, and he had control of his life despite being visually impaired. Best of all, the boy was nothing short of a hero. The public opinion of Blackhawk was always in flux, but everywhere they went, Cloudchaser was met with respect by people who heard the stories. In a world that scarcely knew mutants truly existed as an entire population, Blackhawk was talked about with the same level of sincerity as the Avengers in America or Alpha Flight in Canada. They went out of their way to avoid the attention of either team, as that level of publicity could have been detrimental to them and their ability to lose attention quick with Marble's power.
â– 2020-2021 | End of an Era
Cloudchaser received a text message saying, "It's me, Jotun. I know it's been a while, but I'm okay. I miss you." What followed was a conversation between the two, and eventually she said she wanted to see him again after all the years. The rest of Blackhawk felt suspicious of it, so they used a password to confirm it was really her. Behelit took the phone and asked, "Where did we all meet?" The response was, "The west coast, in Behelit's slipspace." The response was legit, so they planned to meet at a specified location. Two days of blinking across the country with Marble's power, across the northern border and into British Columbia later, and Blackhawk was coming home to somewhat familiar territory. They found the address and waited for Jotun to show up. To Cloudchaser's eyesight, the area they were in, a park in the early morning, was glowing with the use of a mutant power, but it didn't look like the pattern of his mother. The ground glowed with a pattern resembling thorns bristling outwards, like blades of grass that shivered in the wind. The park was completely empty, and it was noon. Things didn't add up, and Behelit was planning to drag everyone into her pocket dimension if things went wrong.
That was when they heard the guns.
A flash of red against the white of Cloudchaser's vision was the first sign that something was very, very wrong. He saw what looked like his mother's glow, but it was red. He never saw a mutant in anything other than bright white, a set of other shapes, other people emerged from behind trees and out of the ground. The sea of white needles changed to the tone of red, and before they knew it, Blackhawk was held at gunpoint by an armed squad of 20 soldiers. Someone spoke up and addressed the group, ordering their immediate surrender pending the threat of death. Adamant tried to get an explanation out of Jotun, asking her what was happening, but something wasn't right with her. She didn't respond. Her silhouette against Cloudchaser's eyes looked... limp. Every time he looked at a mutant, they were outlined in a unique geometric pattern that represented their powers. It highlighted their movements, and to Cloudchaser, that was just how he saw the world. His mother stood hunched over, with her head slouched down like she wasn't even aware of her surroundings. Her shape normally looked like white triangles swirling outwards into infinity, but now? She was a collective of still, crimson triangles that shook in jarring ways. Finally, the boy tried to talk to her, but upon hearing his voice, the red flickered white, and she screamed louder than anything he had heard.
The ground erupted into an earthquake, and shots were fired. Blackhawk instinctually engaged the soldiers in an all out fight. Their powers and lifelong teamwork against 20 guns. At virtually random intervals only signaled by movements of Adamant's arms or Behelit's facial expression, Marble teleported them across the chaotic battlefield into just the right positions to take soldiers out. The red glow that marked Jotun's presence was lost in the chaos, but by the end of the fighting, only one person was left standing out of everyone involved in the incident. Cloudchaser himself.
Adamant, Marble, Behelit, and Jotun were shot and killed along with the soldiers, leaving Cloudchaser alone. A year has passed, and he is still haunted by the bloodshed. He was left alone with no one to help him along in the world. So, being wracked with grief after two weeks of hiding in the area, Cloudchaser flew up into the clouds, picked a direction, and simply drifted off to whatever was ahead of him. He found a place they stayed at regularly, and cleaned out every bit of money and food he could find, and then got back on the move. A year later, and the legend of Blackhawk faded into obscurity following the death of what they considered "every member." Nathan flew past public vigils mourning the loss of the heroes, but kept himself secret among the crowds with sunglasses and a beat-up hat. Along the way, he ran into two people calling themselves Cassandra and Karine. Against all odds, they knew exactly who he was and offered him a place at Instituto Nova. Nathan took it, but asked them not to tell others who he was. He would tackle that on his own time.
| S U P E R P O W E R S: |
â– Power 1: Power Vision
Cloudchaser sees the world in an abstract way. To his eyes, the world is made of color and power. Mutants and the traces of their powers stand out to his eyes, which means he only has to look at a person to tell if they’re a mutant. He can follow “trails” that are left behind when powers are used, but the ability to see most of anything else is all but lost on him. Nathan can see shapes but finer details are fuzzy to the point that, for all intents and purposes, Nathan is considered blind. Nathan perceives the world in hazy outlines, and is unable to reliably distinguish colors from one another without focusing intensely.
His eyes glow white, and emit fog when they're open. There is no way for him to turn this off, so he tends to stand out.
His eyes glow white, and emit fog when they're open. There is no way for him to turn this off, so he tends to stand out.
â– Power 2: Telekinesis
Nathan can exert an invisible force on the environment to envelop things to push or pull them. When he uses this power, it's possible to feel a push from a certain direction. Nathan's telekinesis can be physically observed in the form of feeling something pushing against your skin, and to anyone else, this is an invisible presence, but to him it's like solid light is being twisted in the air. Nathan can see the presence of his telekinesis in the form of white energy, which allows him to accurately see how it is being used. This power allows him to fly and set of a sort of forcefield to block something. Nathan can use the visibility of this power as a "flashlight" to help highlight his surroundings in case his eyesight is particularly bad in a given situation.
The problem with Nathan's telekinesis is that he doesn't use it in very fine ways, he'll often find himself using it to shove a door open forcefully rather than simply nudge it open, or rattle his environment a bit too harshly to see where something is. It can also be somewhat disruptive to others if he isn't careful.

â– 2000-2008 | A Strange Beginning
It was early in the year 2000, only a scant few months after the Y2K scare, that Mister and Missus Horowitz were expecting twins. While the anticipation of having their first kids together be born, there was also dread as tests revealed that the twins were conjoined at the head. Even with that knowledge, the Horowitz couple were ready for the birth. But when Mrs. Horowitz actually went into labor and was taken to the hospital, it was discovered that there was only one twin in her womb. The other twin had simply vanished.
The shock of this revelation was quickly replaced by joy as Mrs. Horowitz gave birth to a healthy baby boy. In honor of the missing twin, the remaining child was named Thom, which means twin. As Thom developed as a child and learned to speak, his parents made a conscious decision to not tell him about his disappearing twin brother. Thom had a normal childhood growing up in the suburbs of southern Ontario in Canada. He grasped whatever lesson he was being taught in school, made a close group of friends, and found himself to be a fast runner when playing games. He also got along with his parents and attended the local Synagogue regularly.
But as Thom’s mental faculties developed, he began to notice that he was different from others in his community in several ways. For one thing, he was interested in stuff that would be considered boy activities as well as stuff considered feminine. Some vicious bullying would quickly end any exploration of that part of Thom’s identity. But what was even harder for Thom was when he began hearing phantom voices.
Initially terrified by these ethereal whispering, Thom did think of the possibility that this was God talking to him. He then thought of asking his Rabbi about it, but the voice returned, advising Thom to keep it a secret. The voice stated that it was part of Thom and that it was just protecting him. So Thom kept his mouth shut, burying all the feelings related to it inside of himself.

Some vicious bullying would quickly end any exploration of that part of Thom’s identity. But what was even harder for Thom was when he began hearing phantom voices.
Initially terrified by these ethereal whispering, Thom did think of the possibility that this was God talking to him. He then thought of asking his Rabbi about it, but the voice returned, advising Thom to keep it a secret. The voice stated that it was part of Thom and that it was just protecting him. So Thom kept his mouth shut, burying all the feelings related to it inside of himself.
â– 2008-2011 | Growing Pains
Thom keeping secret the person inside of him began to take a toll. Thom began to withdraw socially, losing many friends in the process. His parents would eventually notice and take him to his pediatrician who would then refer Thom for counseling. Thom would do his best to appear alright, never daring to mention the voice as he didn’t want to seem crazy. This would become routine for Thom for several months, that routine only shaken up by the news of his mother’s pregnancy.
The prospect of having a sibling managed to lift Thom’s spirits some, helping him rebound slightly in his interactions with others. It was in mid 2009 that Samantha Horowitz would be born. Thom immediately took to being an older brother, doing everything he could to help and protect her. Oddly enough, his phantom voice offered pointers.
Things were looking up for Thom. He moved to a new town for a fresh start, attended a new school where he made fast friends, and had a good relationship with his family. As Thom got older and began going up the grade levels, he found that he was naturally drawn to history. Thom loved the ancient myths of gods and heroes, and even the more modern myths like Captain America of WWII.
It was on a bike ride to the local library to grab a history book that Thom’s powers first manifested. As Thom took a path through a wooded area as a shortcut, a great pain overtook him. Falling off his bike, Thom convulsed on the trail. Then a blue light exited Thom’s body, taking the form of some kind of energy humanoid. It then began to speak, Thom recognizing the voice as that of the one in his head.
Though frightened, Thom began to speak with the being. The energy person then revealed that he was his brother in the womb, but somehow he was turned into energy and absorbed by Thom. Since then he’s existed in Thom’s brain, his mind growing alongside Thom’s. It took a lot of effort for the energy twin to speak telepathically, so that’s why he only talked occasionally.
Thom then began to feel unwell. The energy twin noticed this and deduced that there would be some kind of strain if they remained separated too long. So the energy twin reunited with Thom’s body. Following this experience, Thom immediately returned home and crashed on his bed, sleeping all the way to the next morning.

â– 2012-2013 | Hero Worship
Thom would speak with the energy twin many more times, both telepathically and in-person. Deciding that the energy twin needed a name, Thom picked the name Ezra, which mean help, as the energy twin had always been helping him. During the times where they were separated, Ezra would begin to experiment with his powers. The energy being found that he could fly, shoot energy blasts, and change shape. But still he could only be separated from Thom for only a few minutes before Thom began to suffer physically.
Thom and Ezra would then discuss if there was anyone else out there with powers like theirs. It was around this time that the explosion of superheroes happened. Suddenly heroes like Iron Man were on the scene, with more joining his team the Avengers, including a returning Captain America.
Other teams would pop up as well, but Thom’s favorite would be Alpha Flight. An all-Canadian hero team, Alpha Flight was based out of Toronto, not too far from where Thom lived. Thom would begin to watch any and all clips of Alpha Flight that were online, dreaming of becoming a part of their team.
Thom would begin to model his behavior on the various members of Alpha Flight. He took the courage and truth seeking of the Guardian, the cool head of the Shaman, but it was his favorite member, Northstar, who would have the biggest impact on the young Thom. As Thom began puberty he found that he was noticing girls, but also boys as well. This confused the young man, until he saw Northstar come out as gay on national television.
Thanks to this acknowledgment of the superhero, Thom would come to realize that he was bisexual. Thom decided to keep his family in the dark about his sexuality. Instead life went ahead. It was then time for Thom’s Bar Mitzvah. With his whole family present Thom completed the ceremony to officially be considered a man. But then someone threw a brick through the window of the Synagogue, an anti-semitic slur written on it.
The shock of this incident inadvertently caused Ezra to manifest out of Thom. The assembled family and Rabbi were freaked out by the appearance of the energy being, who returned to Thom in a matter of a few seconds. Thom would be rushed home where he revealed everything about him and Ezra to them.

â– 2014-2018 | A Change of Scenery
Unsure of how to move forward, Thom’s parents decided that he should spend some time away from home, until the whole event blew over. So Thom was sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle in Toronto. While Thom was sad to have to leave home, he was excited to be moving to the big city.
Thom’s Aunt and Uncle accepted him and Ezra immediately, their parents having fully informed them of what was going on. It was Thom’s Aunt who first suggested that he and Ezra were mutants, a term Thom had only heard whispers about. They also supported Thom and Ezra’s training, as they always tried to push the separation further, even if it was only a few seconds more.
Now attending high school in Toronto, Thom quickly took the track team and excelled in history class. Thom would also decided to become in French, taking it all throughout high school. He would also start to date, initially girls, but then he met a boy named Arthur. Neither of them had dated a guy before, but they clicked and started a relationship. It was during this time that Ezra revealed that he is straight.
Thom would finish high school on the honor roll and would be accepted to the University of Toronto. He would then break up with Arthur who moved to America to attend post-secondary, as they both thought a long distance relationship wouldn’t last.
Thom would return home to his parents that summer, reuniting now with his little sister. As they caught up, Samantha revealed that she too had powers. Thom then told her about mutants. They then both decided to keep her powers a secret. After this Thom began university in the fall.

â– 2019-2022 | The Truths of being an Adult
Now an adult, living at his university’s dorm, Thom decided to act on his wish of joining Alpha Flight. Creating a makeshift costume, Thom waited for Alpha Flight to show up in Toronto. After a few months of waiting, Thom would get his chance. Aliens known as the Plodex had been secretly living underneath Lake Ontario, and were now attacking the city.
Thom and Ezra rushed to fight them, firing energy blasts at the aliens. But one blast missed and hit a street lamp, causing it to crash onto the car of a fleeing citizen. While they weren’t killed, they were seriously harmed. Thom was then given a stern talking down to by Guardian, the leader of Alpha Flight.
After this incident, Thom threw away his crime fighting outfit. Instead he focused on school. For four years he worked on his studies, eventually getting a bachelor’s degree in history. It was around this time that the news of Alpha Flight being disbanded began to circulate. Thom was unsure of how to feel about this.
Thom would then decided to not immediately go for his master’s degree, instead taking a semester to live in Paris, as to help with his French language skills. It was while living in a mirco apartment that he received an invitation to attend the Istituto Nova per Giovani Eccezionali. Reminded of his dreams of being a superhero, Thom decided to accept the invitation and study at the mysterious Italian academy.

â– Gestalt Being:
Since shortly before his birth, Thom has been sharing a body with his twin brother Ezra. Ezra is an energy being who exists inside Thom’s brain. They are able to communicate telepathically while in this combined state.
â– Energy Being:
Thom’s brother Ezra is comprised of energy and can detach himself from Thom’s body. While separated Ezra can speak, fly, fire blasts of heated energy, and alter his form slightly. After a set amount of time, currently a few minutes, Thom begins to feel unwell and could pass out if Ezra does not recombine with him. It is currently unknown if Thom can die due to the separation.

â– 2001-2009 | Adoption
For 10 years, Mr. and Mrs. Alegre had been trying to bring forth a child to the world with no success. It had been their dream, to rear up a new life. This is supposedly to be the fruit of their labors; countless efforts spent in making their finances secure, all in the name of ensuring that their children and their children will have a comfortable life. Alas, it seemed that it was not to be. They could not have their own offspring. They'll have to adopt.
So, they looked into adoption agencies and other similar institutions, looking for an infant that they might bring up. What they were immediately given was this baby that was found abandoned on a convent's doorstep. The nuns had been caring for him during the last 3 months, and sought for a childless couple to take him in. The Alegres were happy with this, and after a somewhat lengthy bureaucratic process, they adopted him. They named him Isaak, for the nun that found him was said to have laughed.
At first, Isaak seemed to be an ordinary kid. He was a toddler that did toddler things. He was quite a nightmare for the parents to keep an eye on, but overall there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. This sense of normalcy was not to last, however…
â– 2010 - 2018 | Awakening
As a boy, Isaak would prove to be a somewhat capable student, usually middling in most things, but never the best. Despite what might looked like to be a decent station for him, he developed a deep inferiority complex that comes with never getting to the top. Insecure and suspicious, it didn't help one bit when some of the other kids thought it would be a fun idea to bully him for the laughs. This treatment caused him to be vindictive, bearing grudges out of spite. Authority figures in the school seemed to be useless in that regard too; despite multiple complaints and reports, they didn't do anything due to outside manipulation. Words couldn't describe his relief when his family, well off as they were, decided to leave for the United Kingdom, settling alongside some of their other relatives in London. Thankfully they were good English speakers…
It was around 2016 that the first aspects of Isaak's mutant power began to manifest. While cutting up a bunch of vegetables, Isaak accidentally cut his finger, letting out blood that shimmered with an iridescent yellow. He realized then and there that he was a mutant, one of those humans gifted; or perhaps cursed, with otherworldly power. He thought, though, that he could hide it somehow; that the powers he had gained were of the quiet kind, and wouldn't be known to anyone in first glance.
It manifested further, when had been walking home from school when he spotted a cat limping on the park. It had been crippled by abuse, causing it great pain. There, at that moment, Isaak felt an outpouring of mercy, a sensation of charitable duty. He lay his hands on the pained animal, wondering what he could do.
Right then and there, his hands were enveloped with golden fire, closing up the cat's wounds. Within a minute, it was able to walk properly again, though it ran away as soon as it realized that its motor functions had completely returned.
When Isaak came home, his mother, who was staying there for her remote job, saw that he had slightly changed by the gradual awakening of his abilities, somewhat. He didn't know it, but his irises had turned a quiet, glimmering gold. His mother didn't think much of it, however; she simply suggested that he use contact lenses to hide the most visible aspect of his mutation to other people, as they might not be as accepting as his parents and uncles and aunts and cousins would be. His father would learn of it later that day, as well as his other close relatives. They did not tell the other, more distant members of their family, however; they were notorious gossips.
He kept on practicing by himself, though. Cockroaches he hated, and he found that they were burnt to a crisp when he cast his fire upon them. After a week or so, he concluded that his mutant powers worked based on what he thought of the targets; mercy begets healing, hatred brought forth cleansing destruction. He'd use this in helping his uncle, who was an exterminator, in purging hordes of roaches and other pests. In return for this aid, he received a hefty allowance. This helped him somewhat in his high school years.
â– 2019-2022 | Revelation
Now a young adult in university, Isaak would find the first opportunity to use his powers in places other than pest control. During his fourth year, a rogue mage battled the Masters of the Mystic Arts based in the London Sanctum. In the middle of the fight, the rogue mage released a flight of demons that quickly grew out of control, necessitating the intervention of the likes of Black Knight and Captain Britain.
Elsewhere, the biting, scratching, and screeching creatures would be in part cleansed by Isaak, who was assaulted by a flock of them while he was passing close by. The curious pyromancy that did no harm to the environment caught the attention of some of the Sorcerers, as well as that of Captain Britain, who recalled no one of note that could do the same feats.
After the demons were banished by the efforts of the Sorcerers, Isaak would find himself face to face with the Captain, who asked him… a few things. That interaction would mark the turning point, as Isaak began to wonder if he could this mutant abilities for the greater good.
It would be shortly after graduation from his when he received an invitation to the Istituto Nova per Giovani Eccezionali. Seeing that it was an opportunity for him, he decided that studying in a mysterious Italian academy isn't too bad.

â– Holy Flame:
At first glance, it might seem that Isaak is merely another pyromancer, like a certain member of the Brotherhood. However, Isaak's fire affects only living targets depending on how he views them; feelings of camaraderie, duty, or affection will cause this flame to heal minor to intermediate injuries, though it is still quite painful. Its power nullifies all but the most powerful of anaesthesia, making it a grim prospect to be healed in the long term with Holy Flame.
Holy Flame quickly heals small cuts and bruises; major wounds, such as stabs, third degree burns, and gunshots, can take up to a few minutes to hours to completely repair depending on severity. It cannot restore missing limbs.
Curiously enough, Holy Flame manifests as golden in color. It can be channeled through a held object, such as a staff or stick, for increased accuracy.

â– Smiting Flame:
On the other hand, an entity that Isaak despises will be smited upon contact with his fire. In maximum output, this is powerful enough to melt steel, though this will quickly tire out Isaak. Instead, he prefers to use a lower setting of fire, which causes third degree burns in a few seconds.
In contrast to its benevolent counterpart, Smiting Flame manifests as orange in color. It can also be channeled through a held object.

â– Musician:
Thanks in no small part to parental pressure during his childhood and teenage years, Isaak is pretty skilled in the piano. They still call him everyday to practice.
â– Cook:
In a Filipino household, it is a requirement for the eldest to know how to cook. As such, from early on, he knows quite a few culinary secrets.

â– 2002-2020 | Big City, Bigger Dreams
The early life of Jenna Beltran was nothing remarkable, though she wouldn't have changed it for the world. Her parents, Jemina and River Beltran, worked as members of the Research and Development Wing of the famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) STARK Industries in none other than the Big Apple; New York City. While they weren't exactly high-stationed, they did good work, and even more importantly, enjoyed what they did. Even if they were mostly a middle-class family, they were happy with that.
Even in her youth, it was clear little Jenna inherited a lot of the traits of her parents; she was quick-witted, inquisitive, and never settled for less than her best. Not exactly a super-genius per se, but she knew how to apply herself well, and pushed hard to become someone her parents could be proud of. She was always inspired by their work, and how they could put their hearts and souls into what they believed in, honestly wanting to help better the world for others. She wanted to be just like them!
So, in that vein, excelling in academics was a natural course for her; it got rocky sometimes, but she always managed to pull through, and graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School as Valedictorian of her class. Not long after, the innovate young woman moved on to even bigger and brighter things, seeking to see her dreams realized as she got accepted into the prestigious Empire State University, and what's more? She even began an internship at STARK Industries, following in her parents' footsteps! Talk about moving up in the world, huh?
â– 2021-2022 | Burnout
For a time, things were...Well, to call them great would be an overstatement (though Jenna would try to convince you otherwise); though she thoroughly enjoyed her studies at the University and getting to do more practical work at STARK, it was slowly wearing her down. She rarely left any spare time to herself between prepping for school work, interning at STARK, and working on her own pet projects. Beyond her mom sending some care packages her way, she pretty much ate out of a microwave. No time to cook...Or learn to cook, even. Not to mention how brutally she was pushing herself; without others to really keep an eye on her, beyond a slightly concerned roommate, she was left to her own devices, steadily destroying herself without even realizing it.
Day-in and day-out, she kept this routine going, rarely sneaking in more than a few winks before the new day dawned on the sleep-deprived Jenna. Her social life was effectively nonexistent (not that she seemed to mind), and she was growingly steadily unhealthy with each passing night. It doesn't make it surprising that an incident would occur eventually...
For once, Jenna found herself with some spare time, so of course she chose to....Work on a project of hers! What, were you expecting anything less? She was working on a new invention of hers, uncreatively dubbed the Smarthelm (hey, she was never a namer, alright?). It was designed for those who work in unsafe environments, like electricians or fire fighters, possessing a heads-up display that can highlight and point out environmental dangers to either avoid or control. It was also built sturdy, and could take a serious beating if it came to it. At the same time, she was also doing some last-minute bug-fixing on another of her designs, the Chargeband (...Again, she ain't a namer); a portable device designed to safely fit around ones wrist, it's able to store impressive amounts of energy, and could be used to either charge devices or safely deprive something of energy. It even has a taser function for practical defense! Jenna's a big fan of multi-use items.
Her mistake was one that should have been laughably easy to avoid, but the sleep-deprived college student had her mind wandering as she idly tinkered. Of course, she used her very own Chargeband to power up the current prototype of the Smarthelm, but as she began to don the helmet, she made a fatal error, as did one of her own machines. The failure on her part was the fact that she placed the Smarthelm on her while it was still connected to the band. The other? In a freak bug, the band had begun a strange cycle of simultaneously giving and taking electricity out from the helmet...With her head inside.
It was hours before her roommate found the unconscious and seemingly dying Jenna on the floor, stuck in a perpetual loop of having her skull electrocuted. They called 911, and she was rushed to the hospital. Things were looking bleak...
â– 2022-Present | An Electrifying Origin Story!
Five months in a coma.
That's what they told her afterwards, at least. After the incident, she'd been stuck in the hospital for months on end, with seemingly no signs of improvement. In fact, apparently the doctors had told her parents that it was likely she'd never recover. Even then, they clung to hope that their daughter could persevere, against the odds. Then, something strange happened; a miracle to others...An awakening for Jenna. By accident on one of their visits, her dad had dropped his phone, briefly grazing Jenna for but a moment.
A moment was all she needed.
Like a jolt to the heart, Jenna awoke that day to the shock of her family and the medical community as a whole. By all rights, there should have been no chance she recovered...And yet, here she was. Of course, even with this miraculously recovery, they had her go through some rehab to ensure there were no lasting damages, but to the increasing confusion of the hospital staff, it seemed as if the young woman had made an absolutely full recovery. It wasn't long before they simply had to admit she was fit as a fiddle, and was released to put her nose back to the grindstone (though she was admonished by her parents the whole way back; even beyond this incident, the doctors caught on to her poor nutrition and general health, much to her embarrassment).
...Except things would never truly be the same. She was different now, after all. She had noticed a few oddities in rehab, but it only became fully evident to her later on; when she went home for a good week before going back to schooling and internship, the first thing she did was check her phone out, perhaps hoping someone cared enough to message about her. However, what she got instead was a black screen as Jenna felt a strange buzz pass from the phone to herself. For a minute, she wasn't quite sure what had happened, but then the pieces started to click together....
And she just grinned.
She had always known about superheroes and stuff; insane superpowers and unnatural talents put to use defending Earth and whatnot. Heck, Mr. Stark himself was a superhero! Though she'd never personally met the guy...Anyways, the point is, this was her chance! For the next few months, even after returning to her usual shtick, she began focusing on these strange new abilities she possessed. Eventually, she even decided that the best way to put her capabilities to the test would be directly in action, becoming a small-time vigilante in New York City, running with the moniker of Hi-Volt!
Of course, she was far from the subtlest crusader of the Big Apple, and one day, she just kinda...Woke up somewhere she didn't remember? Apparently it was some kind of institution for Mutants (was that was she was? Huh!), helping them train their powers while also keeping them educated. The circumstances were strange, but after she watched her acceptance video, she just took things at face value. Besides, this way way more exciting than the University! Maybe if she was lucky, she could even scrounge up a friend or two! After all, everyone here's kinda weird like her anyhow...

â– Power 1: Electrokinesis
After Jenna's incident awoke her latent Mutant genetics, she obtained the power of Electrokinesis; put simply, when she makes contact with something that has some form of electricity running through it, or by making direct contact with electricity, she can absorb it into her body and utilize it in a variety of ways. Usually frying baddies. She's uncertain exactly how much of a charge she can hold, but estimates it could be several million watts of energy; still untested.
This ability can also have more niche uses when she applies herself (though her ability to use this Power beyond simply absorbing and dishing out electricity are...Shaky as of now), such as manipulating and disrupting electromagnetic waves to tamper or shut down most forms of machinery remotely, using electromagnetic waves to achieve a form of Ferrokinesis (though even when she gets the hang of it, undoubtedly less refined than a certain someone...), or potentially achieving airtime through either timely release of electricity to propel herself, or by floating via electromagnetic waves. These are all still pretty far out of reach for her though, but she's trying to put them into practice when she can.
This ability could also be used to charge devices, but...She usually just ends up frying them instead. Whoops!

â– Power 2:Electro-Metaphysical Improvement
Her Powers also have affected Jenna in another intriguing way, the smallest of which being that her mutation is what caused her hair to change to an almost minty blue; in the past, it was just black. More prominently, perhaps, is that her newly-developed abilities have caused a change in the way her brain functions. Jenna didn't get smarter per se, but she quite literally thinks faster than the average person, and by no small margin. It aids her reaction time and speed of processing information, as well as most mental tasks. However, this came at the cost of her attention span getting shot to hell; if she can't focus on a single thing, she usually ends up disorientated and frazzled, and on the flip side, once she does fully focus on something, almost anything else simply falls into static noise for her.
On a different note, this also has allowed Jenna the ability to funnel the electrical energy she absorbs (and seemingly generates on her own now, though in small amounts) into her body for explosive results. Mainly, she can improve her raw strength or speed, and usually only in short bursts, because keeping them running for long periods is both exhausting to her and taxing on her energy reserves. This means she can take movements in the blink of an eye, or even smash through solid stone, but unlike a proper bruiser-type, she'll run outta gas eventually and become exceptionally helpless. She also hasn't found a way to enhance her own durability using this trait, though she believes the ability might be able to provide enhanced regenerative qualities...Though she's not eager to find that out.
Lastly, Jenna theorizes that, should she receive enough charge, she may be able to transform her body into pure electricity! Completely hypothetical, but definitely exciting! But she's also theorized such a change would be temporary if it occurred. At least, she hopes it would be...
