Views on Mutants
Working for a special mutant enforcement division of the FBI, Edgar has assisted governments enforce the tracking and tagging of mutants globally for years. He has, more than anything else, a fearful view of mutants. He is well aware that many mutants see themselves as 'human evolution', and such a prospect scares him. He expects the worst from mutants, and his treatment of them is certainly questionable, often opting to 'neutralise' the target before it becomes a threat.

Personality
Edgar has been hardened by his experiences at the FBI, and he has developed a resolute. stalwart attitude and dedication towards his work. He often assumes the worst in people, having grown to be distrusting and generally distant from those around him due to a specific incident at the FBI. Yet Edgar will always firmly maintain that he is a man of the law, and views his sole purpose as to catch and deal with the worst in society, in order to protect the rest of us.

It just so happens that the 'rest of us' doesn't include mutants, with the 'worst' in society, often tending to be the mutants themselves..

History
Born into a 'normal' family, with a lawyer for a father and doctor for a mother, Edgar has never been one to experience the hardships of life. He was an only-child, and recieved a private education. His childhood passed by, being relatively uneventful compared to any other child of the same social-status and age.

His life truly began when he joined the local police department at the age of 20. Despite his top-tier education, his grades were significantly lower than expected and many opportunities previously open to him, were now closed. Not to mention the dissapointment of his parents, who had the highest of hopes for their only child. Yet here he was, as a bog-standard police officer. He lived in a relatively large city, which as a consequence meant there was always crime to be handled, and it was through experience he began to demonstrate his proficiency in the field, rather than through academic results. He remained at the police department for four years, albeit he always had a thirst for something else, something more fulfilling. Despite the high numbers of solved crimes in his city, Edgar couldn't help but feel he was failing to deal with the 'bigger picture', instead dealing with low-level crime that would merely repeat itself in the cycle of crime.

He was aware of the FBI, albeit had never truly given a thought of a career in the agency any serious thought. Yet in his fourth year at the academy, the agency began a new programe that enabled serving police officers to take an aptitude test, that the FBI would use should the corresponding officer ever consider a career in the FBI. Edgar decided to take the test, out of curiosity more than anything else. As it would happen, he scored above-average, and this newfound information only further encouraged him to make the leap to a new career.

After encouragement from his department chief, and other work colleagues, Edgar decided to attempt to make the move. The application process was particularly grueling, and almost off-putting in itself with the number of background checks required, albeit the training was even more so. He spent near enough a year getting through the application and initial training, becomming a fully fledged agent in 2021, at the age of 29.

His time at the Bureau was far more fulfilling, with his attention focused more towards the 'big fish' of the criminal world. Yet only a year into his time as an agent at the bureau, at the age of 30 in 2022, a case came to his attention that would never leave him the same. There was a case concerning a mexican drug-cartel that had begun to expand across the border, and make inroads into america. Naturally, the bureau would have to take measures to prevent this. As Edgars investigation trudged onwards, more and more discoveries were made. Corrupt officals arrested, poiliticians were called-out and police departments were brought into scrutiny. It was clear the cartel had been planning the move for years, and as they slowly watched it unravel, they became even more desperate and unhinged. Edgar soon found his own colleagues working against him, being taken in by the cartels lucrative promises of pay and other methods of blackmail. After two years of one of the largest and dangerous investigations to face the buraeu, Edgar had come out on top. What came as a consequence was the arrest of his colleagues, bosses, colleagues from his old police department, and even friends from out of work. After this case, he has never quite trusted anybody, and always tends to expect the worse in everybody he meets.

Only months after the investigation reached its conclusion, the discovery of mutants was made. The FBI scrambled to ensure the safety of the population after the death of the innocent six year-old, and a 'Mutant Enfocement' branch was set up. Edgar, having grown to expect the worse, immediately put his name down to join the branch. Since then, he has assisted governments across the world in the tagging and monitoring of mutants, whilst also assisting in dealing with 'rogue' mutants, He continues to do so to this day, and has become well-respected within the branch, which has become infamous for its treatment of mutants and discrimination against them.

Denelli White

Name: Denelli "Danny" White
Age: 28
Also Known As/Aliases: N/A
Appearance:

Being a previous basketball player who turned away his passion just to attain a stable and high-paying job, Danny still managed to maintain his body at a decent shape. Standing at a height of 6'2", weighing about 168 lbs and having an athletic frame, it would be clear enough to comprehend that a man such as him had gone through extensive training exercises which versed the appealing figure he currently possess.

Danny has square-like face, having grey colored eyes, a thin nose and smooth cheeks. His hair is painted with a brown blonde color with hues of black appearing on the back strands of his skull. He often styles it with an unruly look, having a few of the strands curled up to an end. Danny's clothing style is what he considers as 'simple' but in reality, one would say a man such as him pays a slightly significant amount of cash to look dashing and professional-looking. When at work, Danny often wears business attires mostly varying to dark colored suits or expensive looking coats. When at home or certain occasions, he often chooses hoods and sweatshirts for the comfort of his daily lifestyle.

Personality:

A typical everyday good guy is what others describe Danny on most encounters. Although a large percentage of it is a fact, there is, however, a part of him which a few people either understand well or dislike. Danny is actually a very impatient man. For the most part, he dislikes waiting for something and when that certain 'something' is what he thinks to be unworthy of his time, he would most likely be driven through silent but violent actions of impatience and frustration. He dislikes bragging about insignificant matters but if they happen to be getting in his way of concentration, the inevitable draws him away and makes him do the bragging instead.

Danny also forgets a lot of things frequently, especially when at work and when he is heavily bundled by stressful tasks. If ever things transitions from worse to worst, he might eventually end up panicking which he greatly dislikes when it actually happens. However, Danny would always try his very best to gather patience and it had been his daily task to concentrate mostly on the positive side but have awareness of negativity.

To others, Danny is mostly considered as a hero though not perfectly a savior. There wouldn't be a time when he would step up to help a distressed friend from the countless troubles they are facing. Mostly, Danny would try and comfort them whenever possible. He is also a conversationalist type of guy which gives him an alluring social outlook.

Mutant Ability:

Danny has the ability to emit energy essences from his palms. It's appearance discharges a yellowish-green glow of flowing energy surges enveloping his hands. These essences from his hands, when placed on a certain body part, have the power to rejuvenate and restructure damaged cells, bone tissues or anything that is damaged,broken or deformed inside and outside a living organism. Not only in that certain field are the essences unique in utility, but they can also disintegrate any kinds of toxic substance that either had been injected or in-taken by the body.

However, the part of the ability used for certain tasks of healing or detoxification is only the utility phase whereas the energy essences emitted by his hands has an offensive capability of granting self-defense. Danny can reverse the rejuvenating presence of the energies and make them a harmful ray of heated light. The yellowish-green glow shifts into an appearance of laser-like rays on Danny's hands. Once these certain rays touch a certain object, the object of contact quickly disperses through incinerated heat. The rays can also cut through thin metal or anything which has a weaker foundation.

As unique as it would sound, there is a limit to where Danny can use his abilities. Doing so requires a significant amount of energy exertion meaning, it is similar when doing a certain task only, the amount of energy to be used is doubled. If ever Danny runs out of energy or is exhausted from doing other physical activites, he won't be able to activate his abilities' full potentials and if he activates it, the presence of the energy essences will be very weak. However, if Danny still managed to activate his abilities even at a dire state, he might pass out from severe exhaustion.

History:

For a newly wed, moving on wasn't a very easy task to carry especially when the tragedy was the grave loss of the loved one. For years, Danny sought to find happiness again after loosing his wife, Mary. It was difficult to manage from the start, going through a lot of depressing wrongdoings such as excessive drinking and therapy, but his vision towards the mutant race and the determination to make a change helped him through these tough trials in life and eventually served as an aid for his 'moving on'.

After turning away his passion for basketball, Danny became a successful businessman after studying and graduating from a very high-standard university in Massachusetts. His parents, although still in favor of having him return to his sport, felt rather uplifted from the hard work Danny had demonstrated. Everything was almost at a perfect glance when he started working. He had a high-paying salary, his boss liked him often because of his innovative mind and the effort he wholeheartedly exerts and especially, his appealing figure which attracts several of his co-workers making him somewhat of a leader. But there was something which wasn't in a good compatible notion to his life as he is also a kind of person who is despised by most ordinary people, a mutant.

For years after the discovery of his true potential, Danny hid his true self away from people and especially from his own kind. Life was almost perfect for him but the true nature of him being a mutant wasn't entirely accepted by his own prospect. He hated being a mutant much as he hated the chaos caused by his own kind. He even did several attempts to get rid of his unusual ability by partially taking drugs just to see if there was ever a slight progress of a cure. Unfortunately, it just made things worse than before making Danny suffer from mild depression and eventually affected his work.

Years had passed and Danny met a beautiful woman named Mary. At first glance, they thought they were just co-workers either helping each other or working for the betterment of the company. But it was just a thought and as soon as they started hanging out with each other through dinners and parties, they eventually fell in-love in a few months of fondness. After their first official date as couples, their relationship strengthened until such time when Danny proposed to Mary at their office which shocked several of their co-workers altogether. Despite suffering from depression, Danny once again found happiness in front of his eyes and he hoped that the wedding he planned before the proposal would be successful.

And it did. It succeeded more than what he never expected. There were numerous visitors including his bosses and co-workers from the company as well as his family and a few relatives. After the wedding, they rented an apartment of their own, hoping to buy a house after they sorted out their finances for the future. However, two months after their wedding, a very tragic event followed up which changed Danny's views towards mutants but left him to be in a very dire state. They were both kidnapped by unknown people but they later revealed themselves as mutants after Danny and Mary were brought in to the kidnappers' headquarters. They demanded cash for more than a million dollars and if not, they would kill Danny's wife. The kidnappers knew what Danny was truly capable of and they gave them a choice of either joining the cause of the activists or betray his own kind by discarding their rights. Danny refused thoroughly and told the million dollar cash was impossible for his reach.

His actions alone aggravated the kidnappers and started harassing his wife. Furious, Danny had no choice but to use his mutant abilities to get themselves out from the grave situation. However, he wasn't exactly sure if he would ever show himself to his wife that he was a mutant. But he was out of choices and wouldn't afford to lose his wife just after being newly wed. Danny sprung out from the restraints, using his mutant powers and knocked several of the kidnappers unconscious. But unfortunately, Mary was killed right before he could free her from the kidnappers. His powers might actually bring her back to life but he was outnumbered and was again repressed and was knocked out, leaving him unconscious. After that, Danny witnessed the grim fate which abruptly ended his married life as he saw Mary lying in cold blood. He tried to use his healing powers to mend wounds and stop the bleeding until there wasn't enough energy to supply his ability's potential. Sadly, it was too late as Mary's life came to an end.

One of the kidnappers actually approached him on that ill-fated moment and it was surprisingly a young girl concealed in thick clothing to make her look like an adult. Danny was enraged about everything, the kidnappers, mutants and his mistake of a loving husband. He was almost close into killing the young girl but he knew through himself that such violent actions would make things much worse. He just couldn't accept the fact that his wife was gone. The girl tried to talk to him about the intentions of the kidnappers, telling it was all they could do to gather more allies in order to have power on their activism activities. Of course, Danny thought it was ridiculously absurd especially if they would take innocent lives. But the girl continued saying that it was an unexpected accident which led the kidnappers on killing Danny's wife. The young girl was also a mutant but after their small conversation, she left without letting Danny feel at ease from the loss he just suffered.

The aftermath of Mary's loss led Danny back to depression and thus, affecting his work with several absences without leave until he reached to the point where he was close at getting fired. He took drugs and started to drink heavily. It was as if he wanted to end his life immediately just after loosing his wife. After all, what was the point of everything? Moving on was incredibly difficult for him to handle and he just couldn't find anyone who could comfort him through his struggles in life even though several of his friends and co-workers tried to do so.

There was, however, another incident which changed his views on his own kind and eventually, helped him move on from his loss. Shortly after work, Danny was on the streets finding a place where he could have a good drink and eventually, drown himself into intoxication. The streets he was traversing was a dangerous side of the city where gangs and drug addicts loiter around. Coincidentally, he saw the young girl again. The girl who was affiliated from the kidnappers who killed Mary. At that moment, the girl wasn't in a very good situation as middle-aged men were surrounding her all equipped with weapons. Danny wasn't actually thinking of leaving the girl even though she was involved in his wife's murder since there was as much innocence a child could bear. He rushed towards the girl, attempting to save her. Danny didn't want to reveal his mutant powers, so he used hand-to-hand combat in order to confront the girl's attackers. Unfortunately, Danny was foolish enough to realize he was outnumbered and was beaten up. However, the girl unleashed her mutant abilities in the nick of time which led the situation in good hands. The group of young men then blazed away from the mutant and instead of having the girl saved, Danny was in the opposite position of being the one who needed the saving.

Later on, the girl confessed that she was making peace with mutants and humans, telling that there was no purpose of warfare between the two conflicting races. Danny was moved, not only by what the girl envisioned, but also of how determined his own kind is (even for a little girl) to live at peace. Ever since the incident, Danny started to be aware of the different outbreak of mutants. The news, the live broadcasts of activists and also the 'precautions' through which the government used in order to retain 'order and justice' between humans and mutants. Danny was heavily influenced by the girl and instead of seeking revenge for the death of his wife, he sought to contribute for the betterment of his own kind and also for the humans. But as determined as he was on doing so, he clearly had no idea where to start.

Views on Mutants:

Danny fully supports the rights of his own kind though mostly, he is in favor of agreeing peace among mutants and humans. Unlike other mutants who has violent reactions towards racism and discrimination, Danny envisions a way which would bring both races in unity that would make the future an even better timeline for mankind. Although his own kind is the one responsible for the demise of his loved one, Danny believed that these actions are done through misunderstandings or if not, by desperate decision making from which mutants are suffering just from the ill treatment they were receiving from humans. Every actions of mutants are justified and can be forgiven as long as there is a logical reason to why it was done otherwise, justice must be served either to mutants or humans.

Other:

Danny took drugs before but he ended the nasty habit of his soon after realizing it wasn't worth of his life. He still drinks but now, he does it with moderation.

Danny owns a lovely Saint Bernard named Juno

Theme

[Cloudy Nights]

Name: Xavier Vasquez

Age:25

Also Known As: Vasquez

Appearance:(won't allow me to upload the photo for some peculiar reason)

Abilities: Xavier can read peoples minds. Sometimes its a good thing. Other times however, because of the hate towards mutants, he wishes he could get rid of his ability. Xavier can read people who are within 35 yards from him. He can pick and choose who he wants to read so his head doesn't combust with everyones thoughts. Although he can read minds, he cant communicate back with them. Well he can, but that'll blow his cover. Vasquez tries to zone out the bad thoughts people say. He's all about positivity. His power is restricted however. If a person is a full on anti-mutant pledger their minds are blocked from him. That can only happen if they hate mutants with a burning passion. Otherwise Vasquez can just read whoever he wants whenever he wants.

Views on Mutants: Vasquez is a mutant himself. He is startled at the amount of hate towards them. He thinks that just because he's different doesn't mean he should be outcasted. Xavier thinks of it like this. People are born with genetic diseases like down syndrome, autism, etc. They were never outcasted they were simply humans but they had a problem. Mutants are no different. They never asked to become a mutant. Hell he hates that he has his ability. However, he accepted the fact he is a mutant. He believes that the government should too.

Personality: Xavier is a comical person. Since he can read minds he likes messing with people. He enjoys making people laugh and he makes himself laugh as well. Although Vasquez is funny, he is also very sensitive. He hates having to lay low and act human. Every time he passes a anti-mutant activist and reads their mind, he just wants to go far away. He tends to hide the fact he's a mutant and has this "X-Gene". Vasquez even tells himself sometimes that he's normal. Xavier is a lovable character and has little to no enemies. He uses his ability to screw with other people (only if he knows you and if you know of his ability). Otherwise people get mad at him and if you screw with him, it'll be the last thing you do.

History: When Xavier was a child in school he was always more intelligent than his peers. He graduated at the age of 14. By the time he was 18 he began to realize that he's a mutant. It all started when he was with his girlfriend at the bar when someone passed. The person didn't say a word to Vasquez or his girlfriend…well not out loud. When the guy passed Xavier, Xavier (not willingly) read his mind. What he heard was directed to his girlfriend and it was so sick and disgusting that Xavier actually turned around and hit him. Vasquez hit him so hard the guy was in a coma for weeks. Now Xavier's reputation with the people of his town is the so called "Badass" of the community.

Can I reserve a spot? I must warn you that I take my time when I make a CS, so it might be a while.

[FiroIV]

Seems good enough of a premise. I'll be making a CS soon.

[Rock Killjoy]

Name:Tony Jaa

Age:24

Gender: Female

Also Known As:The copy monk

Appearance: http://www.diablo-3.net/wp-content/gallery/artworks_2010/aw-20100209_02.jpg

Abilities:

Combat Chameleon- This mutation allows Tony to copy any fighting style she witnesses. This could be through eyewitness viewing and even from movies. It also allows her to perfectly replicate said fighting style, and mix it with others she has 'copied'. While this is highly useful it has limits, if Tony lacks the physical ability to preform the feat it will not work; and will likely cause great self harm.

360 degree vision- this allows Tony to have a full 360 degree field of vision around herself, this isn't a constant ability and extended use is highly strenuous leading to temporary blindness.

Slowing of heart rate- this ability is natural from Tonys regular meditation and martial arts allowing her to focus on her breathing and slow it till she appears dead with no detectable pulse.

Views on Mutants: Tony views her mutation as a gift, she also sees it as her responsibility to protect non-mutants from other criminal or dangerous mutants.

Personality: Tony is a serious stone cold fighter, that being said Tony isn't one to start a fight over petty words or gestures. The only time Tony will start a fight is, if someone else or herself is in imminent danger. While she was a monk Tony is adapting to more western traditions and ways of life, she is a kind hearted person and is easy to become friends with.

History: Tony was born near Nepal, and left upon the steps of a monastery high in the mountains. The monks there took her in and raised her their way, her entire life she trained and lived just as a monk child would. As Tony got older and her training progressed, she was discovered to be a natural prodigy of martial arts and philosophical thought. One day Tony awoke to a loud explosion and the sound of screams, she rushed out to see what was happening. It was a private army working for a wealthy corporation, they killed everyone but Tony. They took Tony to a research laboratory where they genetically modified humans, trying to make the perfect super soldiers. Tony was subjected to rigorous tests of strength and will, as well as near constant fight demos. Tony wouldn't be controlled the corporation knew that, when they discovered the drug worked they planned to kill tony. However they underestimated her she quickly killed those sent to destroy her and escaped the lab.

Other: Obviously as a monk Tony was already highly talented in combat and knows many styles of martial arts. It's also evident she would be highly balanced and flexible, these are not additional powers they are natural and are simply amazing.

Alright, My CS is done. I apologize for the lengthy bio but I guess it would be fun to wrap up a story before I could actually start writing my character ;)

[Metronome]

Would anyone like to have any sort of attachments to either Isaiah (pre-assassination) or 32?

Like maybe they were friends with Isaiah at one point, or worked with him on one of his project.

Or maybe someone they know has been killed by 32.

[MissAddler]

@Sheffield, So good, so far...

@Scoundrel, Accepted

@Cloudy Nights, Good...but I would like a little more detail on his abilities, e.g. what is the range of his telepathy? What are the limitations? Can he communicate through thought or is it a 'one way system' (he can read their minds, but can't send anything back), etc

@RockKilljoy, Accepted

Okay - I will reserve you a place.

Yes - as soon as everyone has submitted their CSs and edited any relevant details! But don't worry; I won't wait forever. If the reserved people don't sign up/edit CSs, I will give them a warning before just ploughing on with the IC, anyway. It's unfair to keep people waiting too long.

Warning to anyone else considering signing up; there are no more spaces left!
I originally only planned to have ten characters, but considering I wasn't around to update the list of accepted characters, I feel it is only fair to accept the extra people (plus they all seem pretty good).

[Rock Killjoy]

WHOO!

Going to grab breakfast soon, then watch a movie.

So expect my CS which was reserved spacefor in a couple of hours.

I think I could incorporate this into my own CS...
Perhaps they knew each other as teenagers (e.g. she helped him through his mother's death and he helped her when she was struggling to deal with being a mutant) but argued over the fact that Izzy wanted to actively fight for mutant rights whilst Angela only wanted to passively support the cause (even though Angela was the one with the mutant ability), before Angela then moved away to University. This could be explanation for why 32's appearance would unnerve her - not only would it be a dead past friend, but someone who could potentially give away her mutant secret.
I will wait for your ideas before editing my CS, in case this was not the sort of thing you had in mind.

[Scoundrel]

I'm guessing Danny and Prof. Douglas has this Professor X view towards mutants and humans. Perhaps they might be having some dynamics in the future?

Yes. I suppose before the IC starts, Danny is already an active member of the said website and often spends his time there debating about his own ambitions of peace towards mutants and humans. He doesn't reveal himself (of course) nor does he go with a codename of his own. Pretty much, he stays anonymous all the time.

[Shard]

I added a paragraph to Kevin's bio to explain how he ended up in the Weapon X lab for a while.

From what I can tell I guess this is pretty much an x-men based rp?

I think I may also have Danny to get involved with Izzy/32's shenanigans. I'll put it this way: Back in 2024(in which Danny and his wife were still in the dating phase therefore, he haven't yet developed a stable view on mutant rights and peace between them and humans), shortly after the assassination of Isaiah Holman, Danny was aroused by the sudden news of an activist's demise even though it was insignificant to most people. Unlike the incident of Javier Mikelson, which didn't give awareness towards Danny in any sort of way, he was somehow curiously driven on determining whether Isaiah Holman was a mutant or not. Why? Because Danny would think that if Isaiah Holman was a mutant, there might be connections on his assassination in which is suspiciously linked towards the chain of events that opened the gates for mutants to run rampant. Also, Danny was skeptical about the information printed on the newspapers saying that his death was not planned by the government and to even top up his skepticism towards the case, there were rumors (I don't know if this would be possible) running around the city that his body wasn't actually seen for forensic purposes.

And once Danny meets 32, he might determine some shocking resemblances from what he feared to know way back from his small 'investigations'. These are all suggestions by the way and might subject to change.
