X-Men: United We Stand iCheck

[Paingodsson]

Working on my CS now!

[Damo021]

I just realized personality is missing from the CS.

[Paingodsson]

Um Silver, are we gonna continue the Heidi x Caleb thing, and if so where do you want to pick up from?

[Silver Carrot]

I assumed we would be, and it's a week after the blast. We could just have them in the apartment, I guess.

[Paingodsson]

Sounds good to me then. Only if I could figure out how to get a picture on this CS haha

[Silver Carrot]

The instructions are below the post bit.

The Kid Lantern said
I like this, just edit out the part about having a sister with sounds powers, that's Paingodson's powerset and even though it's a supporting character I don't want too many overlapping powers.

Edited. I'll leave her powers up to you.

[Paingodsson]

Name - Caleb Idlett
Alias - (was) Bass
Age - 19
Power[s] - Caleb/Bass has the power to manipulate sound and the sound vibrations. He is able to create a shock-wave or soundblast if you will by making any amount of noise. Whether that be screaming, or tapping. He can also store this sound and as he is learning to do (although it takes too much out of him to do it to others and him for more than a few seconds) he can unleash it all at once, and focus the Shock-wave into an attack. He is also able to manipulate the sound of his own punches and kicks increasing them so that a shockwave is sent out. This comes in handy since he does know the martial are of Wing-Chun
Weaknesses - He is very emotional when it comes to his friends.
Cannot hold sound for very long
The shockwaves have a limited range at this moment of how far they can go.
Heidi, he is dating her, he promised to protect her, no matter what. Meaning if something involves her in trouble, he will most likely become irrational.
How long at the Institute - 4 years
Favorite subject - Any type of exercise activity such as basketball, and then all danger room exercises, he has to get better and stronger to protect those he cares for.
Favorite teacher - Wolverine
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio - Caleb used to be a bully until he got his powers. He is a friendly guy, and gives all people full trust until you break it. Always tries to be an optimist but at times can be a pessimist, He hates to be alone because his "friends" deserted him when his powers first showed signs. Luckily the people he bullied welcomed him and changed him. He would go to the xavier institute and learn how to use his powers. He usually wasn't shy unless it was around someone he liked. But he finally was able to date Heidi after getting over that issue. After the mansion attack he wasn't sure what they would do. Caleb is usually a good strategist but has trouble making decisions at time. So he followed Heidi to protect her, luckily his dad and mom haven't abandoned him and gave him an apartment to stay in as well as gave him money that he would need for protection and food and transportation. His dad is thankfully a great business man and head of multiple contractors.
Notes - He loves Basketball, no seriously, and he's good at it..

[Damo021]

Name - Sarina Saunders
Alias - Pyra
Age - 19
Power[s] -
Fire Manipulation. (Pyrokinesis).

Sarina has the ability to control the kinetic energy of atoms to generate, control/manipulate fire Allowing to throw fire, Send jets of flames at a target, Hurl fireballs or even possibly cause a rain of fire. It is also handy to illuminate a dark area. In essence Sarina can excite or speed up an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy until they ignite, not necessarily objects, but also air particles. She can control and move the flames.

She can at the moment release the fire from her hands with the potential in time to do so from her mouth for fire breath. She may be able to understand and control it enough for Pyrokinetic Combat like fire shield. Thanks to this amazing power and it's possible applications, Sarina has ended up with fireproof skin and thermal resistance something that is a life saver when playing with fire in the ways and possibilities this teen can.

Weaknesses - Despite all those pluses and hidden potential, There are other downsides that factor into her power and for one Control is extremely important. Unconscious use of this power can be catastrophic to herself and others, Water and in an oxygen depleted environment rendering her power useless. Sadly not much can be said for her if wearing non flame retardant clothes though as one of the downsides is if not careful can burn her clothes of, something of which is not a good thing.

There are still instances of Sarina getting burned if she abuses the power much or loses to much control. Another weakness for Sarina is she does have a Fiery temper and can sometimes have a short fuse. This is another side effect of her power as it effects her personality and emotions. This gives her a little bit of unpredictability of outbursts.

How long at the Institute - 3 years
Favourite subject - Physical Education (Gym, Sports activities.).
Favourite teacher - Shadowcat

Appearance

Hair worn free


Hair tied up.


Sarina stands at a height of 5 foot 7 inches and weighs 135lbs with a figure of 37-27-35, She is Latin American with long shoulder length brown hair. Sarina prefers to wear her hair freely but may at times decide to tie it up into a ponytail. She has medium size nose, hands, and ears. She also has thin eyebrows, Dark crimson red eyes which once were brown and delicate average size lips. She has a toned olive skin colour with no tattoos or piercings with size 8 feet.

BRIEF Bio - Sarina was very much a lovely girl to be around when she was younger, Born to american military man military man and a Latin mother whose worked in retail work. Life was busy Although her parents would prefer the more quiet and peaceful life, Sarina was the opposite always running around like young kids do, she was able to make friend pretty well and was full of life and smiles, Her parents loved her so dearly. During the early life for some reason she had a thing for Mistletoe, It was probably to do with the special times of Christmas one thing that most children enjoy more and parents mostly remember those magical moments.

Life was pretty normal for the family until a certain moment, Sarina was now at the age of 16, It was a pivotal changing moment in her life for it would never be the same again, While at a beach party with a load of her friends. During the night Sarina got into an argument with one of the other girls away from the group party in a hut, The drunken girl was convinced her boyfriend was having an affair with Sarina which of course was not true but during the heated argument it got physical and that was when her power flared up thus setting fire to the small hut they were in.

Unfortunately the flames spread quickly engulfing the girls but running on fear for her life the popular girl fought hard despite getting burned and was able to drag the jealous girlfriend out of the fire by time the first person managed to run over seeing her pulled the unconscious girl out the fire while others where getting buckets of water or anything they could use. Sarina's actions saved the girl who had severe burns over her body, But to the guys shock Sarina was only lightly burned despite her clothes severely burned and saw her dark crimson like eyes which would become a permanent feature of her mutation.

Sarina promptly ran away back home as she to knew that she should of got hurt more but it wasn't until she got home to get dresses and saw herself in the mirror that she realized her eyes. She was a mutant weather she could grasp it or not but her mind was going into overdrive and packed some clothes and ran away from home trying to get away from everything. Fortunately her mind was easy to pick up by Charles Xavier and cerebro which prompted a quick response to find the girl in need and sent Shadowcat to locate and bring Sarina in safely.

When she arrived at the institute, Sarina spent a while adjusting to her new environment and getting used to being with her own kind but it was a mostly positive transition, The young lass met some very interesting individuals whom all came from different walks of life and ended up at the same place. Once Sarina had settled in she trained hard mentally and physically in the danger room while furthering her education particularly in sports activities, Her first appearance in the danger room Sarina lost control of her power and ended up burning herself thus being sent to medical allowing another mutant Exilir to heal her small burns to improve his powers.

Even after this the danger room sessions were still the toughest in her mind as she often ended up burning her fellow mutants and more often than not setting of the fire sprinklers off to some people's amusement and frustration for others, Of course over the five years the fire maiden was there she would gain more control, understanding and better develop her powers showing great potential along with her hand to hand combat training, She picked up many friends and never let any kind of popularity get to her head. In her third year in the institute the school came under attack and was destroyed with many were injured, killed or captured by military forces, But in the panic many young children lost control of their powers that caused most of the devastation a bout week ago. Sarina only wished she could've helped them.

Notes - Sarina enjoys in her spare time ( out of classes.) performing fire and sparkle poi and fire hoop dancing or going to the gym to keep active because she enjoys it.

BRIEF Bios should be BRIEF. Gotta let some details play out in the context of the game...

~KL~

[Assallya]

Name - Sebastian Thorne
Alias - Last Bastion of Virtue, Bastion
Age - 24
Power[s] - Tactile Telekinesis: Bastion's psychic aura serves as focus to his telekinetic abilities. Thus, he must touch an object in order to affect it. Tactile Telekinesis includes the following abilities:
(1) Lifting Capacity of ten tons and climbing, including the ability to lift fluids as if they were solid by touch
(2) Personal Force Field, extendable by touch allowing Bastion to ignore small arms fire
(3) Subsonic Flight
(4) Clinging (also known as Wall Crawling)

Weapons: Sebastian carries a buster sword straight out of anime. He uses it to expand his reach and cut through walls and vehicles. He would never consider using the edge of the blade against living beings and uses only the flat. The blade is also hollow and inside is a first aid kit.
Equipment: X-Badge Communicator

Weaknesses - Standard Human Weaknesses. His personal force field, while potent does not protect against non-concussive forms of energy (electricity, exotic radiation, sonic strikes...) that many other seemingly invulnerable people like Colossus or the Thing can shrug off. He also has a desire to prove himself as a hero that gets him into trouble.

How long at the Institute - Sebastian has been at the institute only about eight months and he has never been happier.

Favorite subject - The Xavier Institute does not have classes as in traditional schools. Each student had a custom crafted study platform and is assigned tutors. Currently his favourite field is Aeronautics which also includes time in the Blackbird simulator. He hasn't yet been authorized to fly the plane.
Favorite teacher - Shadowcat. Sebastian has a tremendous crush upon Katherine Pryde
Appearance - Sebastian is a lanky tall male with chestnut hair with red highlights. When he first arrived at the mansion he had poor posture and had little in the way of self confidence. Thanks to training by Cyclops and Shadowcat in various martial skills he found his confidence has risen. His posture greatly has improved and as a result he is looking much more handsome.

The Last Bastion of Virtue has modeled his costume off of his favourite comic book superhero, Captain Marvel. He possesses a black uniform, a double breasted jacket with buttons rising up with the right shoulder. A half cape over his left shoulder, the clasp at his collar being a communicator in the shape of a traditional X-Symbol.

BRIEF Bio - Most mutants discover their abilities during puberty. The problem with Sebastian's was that, until he got into a horrible car accident, he had no idea he was a mutant. Stepping out into traffic to rescue a young girl, a semi-truck plowed into him before he could escape the street. Completely unharmed he was introduced to the Canadian way of dealing with mutants. Canada had no charter of rights, no amendments protecting free speech or laws against manipulating the press. CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, dumped him in a small cell, imprisoned on trumped up murder charges for the unfortunate truck driver. They would let him out if he would submit to joining Beta Flight, otherwise it was Department X.

There being no laws against using torture in Canada, nor using information derived from torture, Sebastian's time in prison was abysmal. Weeks went by, he was scarcely lucid from malnutrition, dehydration and sensory deprivation before he was rescued. A young woman's head emerged from the ceiling, then the rest of her, floating down. In his wretched state he saw only an angel.

Since then, he has been training in Xavier's school to become worthy of that goddess

Notes - Sebastian is a wanted criminal in Canada and eligible for extradition. He often has to make use of false identities.

[Omega Man]

The Institute does have classes like a normal school, so you'd need to change all that. Drop the level of TK strength to around one ton and limit his flying speed and he'd be ok. But being a Canadian criminal and sporting a cape and a buster sword has got to go. Bastion by itself works as an alias, IDK who would dub him the Last Bastion of Virtue cause if he did it himself he sounds pretentious. Using multiple ID's would be superfluous as well since if it was the X-Men who rescued him from a Canadian dungeon they'd likely set him up one. It's cool if some shadowy Canadian government agency wants him dead to make him need to go into hiding with a new ID in the U.S.

The powers as they are seem like too much [wall crawling AND flight, really?]. I don't need an amalgam of Wolverine's backstory with Jean Grey level 5 mutant TK. If tweaks like I mentioned could be made I wouldn't mind having somebody with TK, but it needs toned down a bit.

[HellOfALife]

At 6'2, it's no surprise that Zhayne is easily noticed, and he seems to take a little but of pride in the fact that he sometimes had to bend his head under Forrest's to fit under them. His body is slender, and his skin wraps tightly around thickly veined muscles, he is by no means a body builder of any sort but seems to harbor some sort of modicum of strength and finesses in his bones. His lofty stance gives way to a young man who looks a bit frail but is stronger than he seems. His skin is a light brown due to his mixed ancestry, and his face is well proportioned, one could argue that he looks handsome for his age, but Zhay would probably laugh at the assumption. Features like his dark brown eyes seem to keep people focused on him whenever he grasps their attention, and blend well with his face. Arguably, his most noticeable feature is his long dreaded hair which is usually kept in a twisted ponytail or obscured by some hat. Often times he has other touching that long hair of his, which annoys him to no end since he usually asked questions about he upkeep or how long it's taken to grow it out. As far as he's concerned it's been this way since early childhood and he isn't all too eager to cut it off anytime soon at the behest of those claiming he could never get a job because of it. (if that wasn't already compounded by the fact that he was a mutant...) Normally you'll find him wearing a long sleeved shirt, or a hoodie, and some jeans, along with roughed up Nikes to boot, he isn't too in tune with his fashion and will wear anything sprawled on his dorm room floor.

Name:
Zhayne (Jah-ne) Spencer
Code-Name:
Animus
Age:
19
Gender:
Male
Danger Rank:
3
Personality:
Zhayne would consider himself to be a very practical person, down to earth, and as nice as time could afford. He always been labeled as rather relaxed, and mellow, and never finds it hard to adapt to his surroundings. He is calm and analytic, but slow at first approach whenever faced with a dilemma, it usually takes him some time to be open with others, but despite the small number of friends he has acquainted himself with, he is kind and generous to no fault. Disregarding his sometimes strange and awkward moments, Zhayne can be a true joy to be around once you learn to gain his trust. He is diligent about testing those he feels he can trust, and is always better in a small group of friends, though in hindsight the slow approach is the reason why he hasn't much experience in romantic relationships, and he be quite nervous when anyone asks him about his interactions, he isn't even quite sure himself, at 19 he should have at least laid claim to being with one person. He tends to come across at shy because of his preference of silence, while this is true to extent, his intentions are often misunderstood, especially when trying to gain new friends.

Yet, even with his bashfulness at times he isn't afraid to be who is, or show off a bit of his anger streak when others cross him the wrong way. Perhaps an interesting part of his personality is his sexuality, he has admitted to being openly homosexual, but is coy in delivering the terms to others, which either surprises them or doesn't. Despite being somewhat quiet, and observant, when put into danger Zhayne has shown many times that he is capable of defending himself, or crafty at escaping lest the situation calls for it, those who claim him to be a slow thinker, may not realize that it's effective to the way he methodically attacks. He can be taciturn, and stubborn when he feels he needs to be, and gets annoyed when things don't go his way. At his worst he can be self-indulgent, lazy, and even downright uncaring, at his best he is kid, generous, and intelligent. He would say that he is a perfect balance between the two.

Powers:
Animal Mimicry: Zhayne has the ability to mimic various abilities attributed to certain animals, like for example; being able to grow gills and breathe underwater like a fish, to run with the speed of a cheetah, or fly like a bird. This has advanced to the point that he can communicate loosely with other animals, his most recent experience being that with a chimp. The setback of these abilities is the fact that Zhayne needs to study said animal in order to duplicate the effect, and using mimicry can be hit or miss if he doesn't take care to practice. Having yourself unable to reassure your natural breathing habits for a whole day after figuring out how to actually mimic gills was a rather transformative experience for the young man, for one, he learned that it's never pleasant to have to tie a plastic bag full of water over your gills just to function. Trips to the zoo has helped him gain a slew of abilities, though their usefulness depends on the situation, so he finds it better to let this ability become a convenience for impressing others, or showing his powers off when suitable.

Animal Shapeshifting: New to Zhayne is the ability to take the form of animals, an ability that he came upon accidentally a few months before enrolling. His first year there he found it to be more of a burden than an actual help, and he had (and still has) actual fears using this power. The first time when he transformed he took on the form of a cat, which scared him to say the least, not knowing what happened to his body, and having very little control over the events surrounding him. The worse of it though was transforming back, the pain of which turned him off to transform again (not to mention the sudden lack of clothing). Even weeks after the transformation he was left with strange aftereffects, just as sharp claws, sharpened pupils but no night vision, and he could recall shedding hair much more quickly than any normal humans. Yet, only a year after remaining at the academy Zhayne has learned to temper this power, being able to change into fro far more easily when it comes to smaller animals, but limited by his transformation into larger animals. While it still garners pain on the occasion, he seems to be able to ignore it for the most part as long as he doesn't overexert his form.

How long at the Institute:
2 years

Favorite subject:
"I don't know...Math?"

Favorite teacher
Beast ('Well not really a teacher is he?")

Skills:
-Cooking
-Skateboarding
-Hiking
-Brawling (knows enough to get him through superficial fights, and to defend himself)
-Free Jumping (very useful when you have the agility of a cat)

Backstory:
Shame how the boy was robbed of a childhood early in his life. For him, the first sensation he could clearly recall was the smell of cinnamon, and the fact that wherever he lived, the walls never seemed to be dry, and was always slick with water from the incessant boiling of a pot under a stove that he could never reach with his tiny stature. Then came an uneasy period, lots of fighting and shouting, things muttered like mutant!, freak!, we can't afford that!. Zhayne was only half aware of some of things around him, and paid less and less attention with the yelling would occur. After that, being awoken from the only decent sleep he could ever remember having, and then being thrusted into the back seat of car, it seemed even in his sleepy stupor that the window burned with a fiery glow, like the night had suddenly borrowed rays from the sun. Little did he know about the riots that occurred that night, the riots near his place of residency, even to this day when he searches on the internet about the riots, the memory is fresh in his skull, angry faces, traffic abuzz, frantic breathes from the driver of the car. Somehow the two were able to escape the now ruins of his former hometown, and drove from miles. At this point, he made sure to commit more to his memory than the things he felt he should avoid just because he was a child.

The person he escaped with was his father, and he could only assume that the worse happened to his mother, or perhaps she felt it better to leave him in another's hands, he would never know since he'd never, met the woman, or felt the need to. He can at least have some type of solace in knowing that there was a time she wanted him, until (according to his father) when she held him a few months after his birth in the dark, and his pupils grew feline in shape. Afterwards, (he recounts humorously) they got rid of the cat, but the incidents never stopped there. It was only when he was five that his father was given the motivation to leave, he was forced by the riots, to think that someone could arbor such hatred for his child was an unbearable thought, it was already obvious by the way other kids were told to avoid Zhayne that others were catching on, he would be targeted, and who knows what else. The two of them spent 3 years on the road, motels, and gaudy fast food seemed to serve them well enough, he moved from school to school, and never found a way to stick. Of course there were still incident here and there, people still had a tendency to look at him strangely, and then his father was once again forced to whisk him away elsewhere, at one point it became damaging to the point that he found it difficult to communicate with others in fear that they would somehow see the fact that he was mutant. It was at that time that his father took him away again, far into the more nature bound places, his grandmother had long owned a vast amount of land, and was all too eager to offer a place for her son and grandson even knowing their predicament.

That was probably the most enjoyable part of his life, the period of time where abilities were greatly expanded upon. A lush forest seemed to jut out a little ways from the Victorian styled architecture of his grandmother's house, and from there he was able to pick up a slew of abilities, both strange and entertaining to the both of them. His father secured an obscure job in the small town a little ways from the land, and Zhayne attending school, but was able to control his abilities for the sake of keeping his identity safe. Years went pass, and for once Zhayne felt he had a home, and a permanent place to stay, he was comfortable enough with the people raising him to even reveal his sexuality, and they were just as accepting as they were of his mutant abilities, though of course it would be until he was 17 that things seemed to naturally spiral downwards. It wasn't long until popular opinion of mutant seemed to reach the little town, and things became terse for the small family. Zhayne felt himself rather bored with the fact that he couldn't completely be himself. When discussing the problem in a class of his, Zhayne was too adamant about his stance on mutants, and attracted the attention of a few students, whose beliefs opposed his own. Months later, when shopping in one of the small shops in town, just a few weeks since his graduation, you couldn't even say the word Mutant without being looked strangely, somehow the mention of such always had to be negative. He would find one of his old colleagues, drunken, gun at hand, idiotically ribbing a sore that he gone to for nearly years. Zhayne would fins himself trying to reason with him, until the gun was turned on him, slurs were thrown his way, none of which he'd ever wanted spurted to him ever again. When it became apparent that the gun was close to firing in his face, he felt the world shift and his body shrink, the gun slipping out of the grasp of the offender, and a small dark body racing out the store as fast as it could. Unaware of just where it was going or why, just running for the sake of running.

When exhaustion finally met up with the feline, it stopped dead in the middle of nowhere panting, reverting back painfully into it's human form, blistering rain seemed to sweep over Zhayne, and for whatever reason he was nude, and hurting in places he'd rather not speak about. After that, everything seemed to wash into a blur, similar to how his early childhood occurred. All he knew is that he wanted to hear nothing of mutants, or powers, and simply wished for a way out. He was able to find places to sleep, odd, low paying jobs that helped him acquire shelter and food to eat for a short time.For the longest it seemed he lived only to live, before he knew it a full year had passed until he heard about the Institute, he heralded the courage to travel to the Institute and craft a new life for himself, but time can only tell when he find it worthwhile to even have powers in the first place.

Please notify me if anything needs to be changed or updated, I kinda used a mix of the old and new template, though I'm figuring that I fucked up somewhere along the way. It's good to be back if I'm able to rejoin.
