Catherine Linda Bishop

"It's a basic truth about the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what." -- Dr. Gregory House

"The Basics..."
Name:
Catherine Linda Bishop

Mutant Alias:

Bones

Nickname:

"Kathy": A shortening of her name, which she dislikes. Used primarily when she was young.

"Bones": Her alias. She prefers this to "Kathy."

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Bisexual

Occupation:
Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, and acting physician for the Academy.

"The Appearance..."
Description of Appearance:
Catherine is 5'2 and is lean, and not very muscular. Her skin is fair, with only a light dusting of freckles across her nose. Her eyes are a stone grey, and has recently allowed her hair to grow to her shoulder blades instead of the top of her neck.

Style:
She prefers to wear polo shirts with khaki, navy, or black pants with brown leather shoes and a long sleeved, warm undershirt that matches the polo. She also wears a white medical coat when she's teaching. If she can get away with it, she will wear her pajamas and slippers.

"Delving A Little Deeper..."
Likes:
- Dairy Products (especially ice cream).
- Reading (her favorite book is "Faust" by Goethe).
- Sparring.
- Dissections.
- Black humor.
- Halloween (it's very easy and interesting when you can use your bone manipulation powers to dress for Halloween. Not to mention the candy).
- Piano pieces by Rachmaninoff.

Dislikes:
- Sleeping alone (she has a teddy bear she sleeps with at night; a secret she takes great pains to keep quiet).
- Needles.
- Arrogance/Self-Righteous people.
- Monotony.
- Perverted jokes about her powers and the reproductive organ portion of her class (she's heard them all).
- Being toyed with.

Mutation:
Catherine's mutation is bone manipulation. She can grow and rapidly heal her bones, creating objects out of bone, even having them stick out of her body as weapons or calcifying over her skin as a shield. Catherine's bones are harder than the average human's bone and can withstand more stress. She has minor regenerative abilities, however, any large bones (thicker than an inch) that poke out of her body can injure her (though she can stanch bleeding with a patch of bone). She also requires an abundant diet of calcium and vitamin D filled foods. Extruding bones can be 0.5 times taller than her (6.25 feet), no thicker than two inches and no thinner than a millimeter.

Strengths:
Catherine is versatile, and can adjust her powers for any situation. Whether letting a barrage of bone spikes loose, or shielding someone, or even using her bone manipulation to give her an intimidating form, Catherine is a jack of all trades with her power and knowledge.

Weaknesses:
If she goes without calcium in her diet for a whole day, she cannot form bones. Two days, her rapid bone healing is gone. Her bones lower to the strength of a regular person after a week without calcium. More than a week, and her bones degrade to the strength of a woman with osteoporosis.

Personality:
Catherine adheres to the separation of business and pleasure, and lives both parts of her life as a perfectionist. She takes her professional integrity very seriously. She has a hot temper as a result. She is bluntly honest, opinionated, dry, and cynical. Her greatest flaw is her anger, as it makes her reckless and vengeful.

"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
Catherine was the eldest of a family of physicians and five brothers. Her parents were entirely devoted to their work and climbing the social ladder, however, and did not spend much time with their children. The attention of their parents soon became a competition in the Bishop household, and while normally Catherine would have no part in such shenanigans, she would not be outdone by her siblings. And so she set out to the path of medicine, just like her parents.

Unfortunately, her promising future in medicine was abruptly ended when one night during a nightmare, her powers first manifested and a large spike of bone came right out of her forearm, causing her to wake from her dream and scream in pain. Instead of horror, her parents saw the event as interesting, and began to view their daughter in a new light; as a medical subject. They began to induce her into a state of dreaming and view her reactions while monitoring her vitals, hoping for her powers to show themselves again. She would be questioned on the dream's content after awakening. These experiments lasted for a month until finally, at the age of 14, Catherine ran away from home. She didn't get too far, as her parents had not kept quiet about their "special daughter," and word eventually reached the X-Men. She was taken in and became a professor two years ago, due to her knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

Other:
Catherine carries a metal flask with a black leather wrap around it filled with milk at all times. Her suit has her shoulders exposed, which let her extend her bone shield over her suit. She uses intimidation tactics when she fights, including molding the front of her face in a shell of bone to make it look like a skull. She also has a slight southern accent.

---

I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I don't plan on making large changes to the profile. Maybe I'll find a less pretty picture and a few other small details.

[smilies]

Ooh, Catherine is rather interesting. You're right; I can't tell if she and Sabrina will love or hate each other. Sabs will appreciate the humor, but perhaps not the perfectionist side.

[Kentsukan]

I know, right? Still, not everyone's perfect. And she needs to bicker with someone!

Dislikes:
[At least six.]

Mutation:
Tarot is a mutant who has the ability to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to pure light pink-colored kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with highly explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object: the larger it is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade.

Tarot's ability to tap kinetic energy also grants him incredible superhuman physical abilities (strength, speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance), as his body constantly generates bio-kinetic energy and so is perfectly constructed for constant motion. This gives him an added edge that he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style.

Tarot also possesses an unusually strong and irresistible hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over sentient beings, leading them to believe what he says and agree with his suggestions. This is an ability he uses to great effect in teaching and stage performances. However, the hypnotic charm does not work on those who know about it.

During combat, Tarot customarily wears a suit of highly articulated light body armor and uses a pair of hardened glass canes (A properly annealed inch thick piece of borosilicate will withstand up to 3,000 lbs of pressure and extreme heat and cold). He is extensively trained in martial arts, particularly Capoeria, muay tai and the cane style art jojutsu. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, applying street-fighting techniques and acrobatics. Tarot is a skilled card-thrower, so he throws his charged playing cards at opponents with great accuracy. He also excels in all aspects of thievery due to his magician training,

Strengths:
Ultimately it is his adaptability that is his greatest strength, the flexibility to roll with the punches in and out of combat.
He is a survivor skills sets him for a close second in strength, a magicians skill to hide things with a survivors over-preparation means he might actually have something useful no mater the situation.

Weaknesses:
Due to his highly adaptable nature, he hates too much structure, no wiggle room in word or act begins to make him shut down.
His love of adventure and overconfidence often lead him to taking ridiculous risks needlessly and easy to provoke into action.

Personality:
[At least two full paragraphs here describing what goes on inside of your character's mind.]

"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
Child of a one night stand, she was a French girl who came to New Orleans for MadiGras and met a man with the greatest eyes she has ever seen. The only memento she had of him was the deck of cards on the nightstand, and morning sickness. Suffice to say, her wife was not happy.

Fast forward thirteen years and we see an amateur magician good enough to win talent shows

Awesome! And well enough. I'm wondering if it would be possible for Catherine to also be the acting physician on campus. Perhaps she completed medical school and thanks to the Academy, they pulled some strings so her residency is fulfilled by working at the Mansion?

@Ken: Sure, that works. LOL.

Dislikes:
- People who harm the environment
- Bigots

- Spiders
- Arrogance
- Ignorance

Mutation:
Plant Manipulation - The power to control plant-life. Users can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, even moss and (for practical reasons) fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The user can cause plants grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure, and revive withered or dead plants. They can use their power for defense and support by growing plants from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries, or even to possibly use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects. Though less commonly activated by passive users, the ability may deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Making the plants as weapons enables users to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the user’s will. They can cause horticulture found, i.e. wrap of vines, to grow and climb around a target's neck, causing choking, or even strike with plants. A more subtle technique is to release damaging toxins and pheromones, affecting targets in which conditions should be treated quickly with ailments.

Contaminant Immunity - The power to neutralize all existing detrimental contaminants in one’s body. The user's immunity, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced or evolved far beyond that of a normal human's. They are completely immune to every form of contaminant known to man. The user is immune to all known poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, alcohol, radiation, etc.

Strengths:
With his knowledge of plants, Danny is useful when it comes to herbology and ailments. He can use his plants to heal or harm someone. You can often find him in the greenhouse making antidotes for the team’s usage. Danny is highly intelligent with a top 10 percent IQ and is great with problem solving and anything to do with the outdoors. He knows many sciences pertaining to nature and land making him an excellent helper in field operations. Because of his Contaminant Immunity ability, Danny is able to enter high health risk areas, such as radiation and diseased places, without being affected as well as use any time of plant around his vicinity to his advantage.

Weaknesses:
What Danny makes up for in brains, he lacks in physical strength. He isn't one to work out so he isn't that strong. He knows basic hand-to-hand combat and other basic survival instincts. As far as his plant abilities, they are weak in areas that are barren or have no capability of producing plant life. They are also weak against harsh elements such as ice, fire, lightning, and radiation.

Personality:
Danny is a sweet soul, always doing things to better him and others. He can come off as quite timid sometimes, but get to know him and he's outgoing and a ball of energy. He can be highly opinionated and cannot stand when people make a mockery of nature or do anything to harm it. He's the true definition of a tree hugger and will do anything to protect the environment. Although it is highly unlike him, he can be a bit witty and sarcastic at times when he's comfortable around certain people. Danny is very observant and can read a person almost instantly. He is very good at hiding his emotions so if he lets you in, you're someone special. However don't mistake his kind nature for weakness.

"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
Danny grew up in a stable household with normal parents. He was raised an only child and was homeschooled most of his life until his freshman year of high school. Being openly gay, he got bullied and teased a lot from a few of the guys, but had a strong support system at home and had friends that stuck by him. Danny is your true definition of a tree hugger. He recycles and tries to only use products that don't harm nature in any way. Danny has been seen in many protests having to do with cutting down trees to put up buildings and other man made things. Not only is he a tree hugger, but he is a total vegan. He's opposed to the cruelty of animals or the consumption of them, but tries not to push that on other people. However, he does encourage his peers to recycle and use fewer products that harm the environment.

One day when he was at a protest, at age 16, the man that was driving the bulldozer to cut down trees, came down and started getting physical with Danny. Due to his anger, he unconsciously made one of the nearby trees extend its branches and knock the construction worker out. Even though he didn't really know of his ability at that point, he completely became aware after he healed a dried up flower in a pot when he was merely touching it. Ever since then, he's used his ability for good, growing gardens and natural habitats for animals, growing gardens for people that had no food, using plants for herbal remedies, etc. He became quite the humanitarian and eco-friendly activist. He rarely used his ability for offensive purposes unless threatened. When he was 18, Professor Xavier himself approached Danny and his parents about him attending the Institute to give him the chance to teach him how to better use his abilities and offer him a place to stay there. Danny gladly accepted and has been living there for about three years.

Here's my go to X-Men character ^^

EY I REMEMBER YOU BEFORE GUILD SHUT DOWN--

At least, I remember your character. We were in an X-Men roleplay together ^_^ I used the same character too (with a different picture because I lost the old picture) :P And, uh, my username was kamiakaze.

Why do I get to miss the fun reunions? D:

[Dark Revenger Knight]

Here's to starting from scratch...

Dante Benedetti

"Yo, I just wanna eat in peace...Heh. Freshman."

Name: Dante Benedetti

Mutant Alias: Phantom

Nickname: L'italiano; The Omega Project

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Straight

Occupation: Field Agent; Logan's TA

Description of Appearance:
Dante towers at 6'1'' which isn't particularly tall but add his well-toned frame and the result is an impressive figure. The vibrant-blue eyed male styles his hazelnut colored hair in a medium fade with the sideburns arching around the temples and peaking down along the jaw into a sharp point. He normally shaves off his facial hair but is also known to leave a "5 o'clock shadow" from time to time. His lightly tan skin tone is inked with oriental dragon sleeves on both forearms.

Style:
Dante sports mostly streetwear but can be elegant if the occasion calls for it. You'll see him around the city in his favorite wine-red leather jacket with dark aviators concealing his blue eyes. Around the mansion, you might catch him in the hallway wearing denim jeans and a basic black or gray tank top.

Dislikes:
- Airplanes (lol)
- Vegetables
- Attitudes
- Books
- Homework
- Flirts
- Tight Spots

Mutation:
Dante has an intricate system of veins, separate from his circulatory system but similar in function, that carry highly concentrated plasma energy; he's able to channel the plasma into his hands to form deadly spheres that can power to the size of a beach-ball. Unfortunately, he does not possess, yet, the level of concentration required to channel such degree of power and thus his plasma spheres power to the size of baseballs. The plasma spheres shoot at will and cause violent explosions upon impact. A secondary consequence of his mutation is his ability to coat himself in a layer of plasma for the purpose of melee engagement; he can't yet turn full-body and so he only uses plasma gauntlets for hand-to-hand combat. His third and perhaps most powerful ability is also the one that has the most extreme consequences on his body after use - Dante can self-destruct, unleashing a ferocious wave of energy that explodes a sizable radius around him but at the same time leaving him in a fatal condition.

Strengths:
Dante possess incredible mental strength; his ability to endure physical pain is second to none. He's perfect for missions or situations that require
a head-on lead that can test the waters, usually when an enemy has unknown parameters, Dante goes in to take the first blows.

Weaknesses:
The above being said, Dante isn't the smartest person in the world so he isn't the best to follow orders; he improvises but can be a wildcard in that sense.

Personality:
Dante is a charismatic, sincere person but wasn't always that way. He doesn't dwell on yesterday but doesn't bother looking ahead either; Dante tries to live each day as it comes, with it's challenges and accomplishments. He's grateful for the place he has with the X-Men, especially given his history and where he's come from. It's not easy to push his buttons; you'd have to really try to piss him off and even then he might just shrug it off but he's definitely not neutral. He has his beliefs in place and well grounded. Dante speaks his mind even when perhaps it isn't appropriate which has gotten him in trouble before. Despite appearing apathetic at times, Dante has a very competitive mind and is always good for a challenge.

Growing up in a government base was hell for Dante, he didn't speak much which is why he was given the name Phantom, a person that went through the world as a transparent remnant that influenced nothing, which just sort of stuck even during his time now with the X-Men. He kept to himself but was known to be very violent when tested. He had some serious inner demons that where eventually suppressed but they lie deep within the most secret confinements of his mind, rage, hopelessness and regret. What Dante seeks most is to make sense out of the occurrences in his life.

"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
Dante never met his mother or father; he was given away to an orphanage at a very early age. It was at the age of four that his powers first manifested themselves when he blew up a chunk of the old building. When authorities arrived, they found a boy unconsciousness near the impact point. The next time he woke up, Dante found himself locked in a cell. He was taken into custody by a shady science institution, a secret division of the US Government. He was official stamped as the Omega Project and it was how most of his captors referred to him as. He was studied, experimented on and forced to fight against other mutants. He was rarely allowed outside and spent an inhumane amount of time in isolation which is why now he can't stand being within unreasonably enclosed spaces.

Phantom, as he was colloquially nicknamed, spent fourteen years kept against his will except he was taught too well. At the age of eighteen, after yet another trial against another mutant, Dante was being transported back to his cell when he annihilated his captors before they could sedate him. After wreaking havoc across the entire base, Dante manged to escape but had sustained fatal wounds in the process. He was found at the brink of death by an elderly gentleman that was kind enough to tend to his wounds. As it turned out, the elderly man was a martial arts practitioner and had a wealth of resources at his disposal. During the next several months, he taught Dante much needed meditation skills in a rehabilitation process. After being under the man's tutelage, Dante finally decided it was time for him to find his own path, a meaning to his life. In a chance encounter, he met the Wolverine and after a brawl against some relatively unknown foes was invited to go to Xavier's school for the gifted where he now resides.
