[CHAR] (OLD) X-Men: The New Era (OLD)

[OneWayOut]

Name: Veronica Rose
Nicknames/Aliases: Rose
X-Men Code Name: Morphine
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Physical Description: Rose is a tall, lean, tan skinned woman with a giant mass of curly hair coming out of her head. She stands at 5'10" but is actually pretty self conscious about her height, never wearing heels or anything other than converse really. She has long legs and arms that compliment her lean figure. She has subtle curves where it counts and is pretty well 'developed' in some areas. Rose has dark brown, almond shaped eyes that are a bit wide set but fit nicely on her face along with her strong cheekbones.

Mutations: Rose has the ability that can be called Spontaneous Regeneration/Healing, meaning that her body's cells rapidly divide, causing her to heal at an astonishingly fast pace. Her body does this automatically, without her doing anything. If she is wounded or injured, she can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs. The rate and amount of healing varies depending on the injury. It can take her a few seconds to recover from a stab or a gunshot wound, but up to an hour to regrow lost limbs or such. She is generally in very good physical shape as her body is constantly reverting to a healthy state. It is unknown at this point if her life span will be extended or cut short because of this ability. Further research is needed to determine that.

She also has the ability to heal others (by speeding up the regeneration of their cells - though she doesn't know that's how it works or how she does it). But this is where the price of her gift is paid. Whenever she heals someone, their pain is effectively (for lack of a better word) stolen from them and felt by her instead. This is a major drawback for her as she has a very low pain tolerance. It is as if her pain receptors work on overdrive all the time, and it could just be an effect of her mutation. The extent of her powers stops when her brain undergoes serious damage, and this is likely one of the few ways in which she could die.

Personality: Rose is confident and outgoing, quite fun to be around if one has a good sense of humor and doesn't offend easily. She has never been afraid to speak her mind for fear of hurting someone’s feelings and she isn’t above tossing a snarky remark or two when/if the situation calls for it. The majority of her repertoire consists of sarcastic comments or jokes accompanied by a sardonic smirk or raising of an eyebrow. She has been called cold more than a few times, but only because has extremely selective empathy, being that she cannot bring herself to understand the ridiculous reasons which cause a great deal of upset and alarm to most people. Crying at the drop of a hat is simply annoying and a waste of the human body’s functions in her opinion. Tear glands exist for the purpose of keeping one’s eyes moist to prevent them drying out, not to stream torrents of water down one’s face because of silly things. As a firm believer of independence, Rose absolutely loathes damsels in distress. She’s quite determined and headstrong when it comes to accomplishing tasks and prefers to be the one in charge if placed in a group. She has a mind just as sharp as her tongue and often times can be found alone, reading some large book in a quiet place.

Background: To be revealed.

Recap of your mutations awakening: When Rose was 13, she was in a car accident that should have killed her. Both her parents as well as her 6 month old baby sister died in that crash. At the time she didn't know of her ability to heal others, as that happened many years later. For a long time, she didn't understand her ability or why she could heal like no one else. She would often times take a knife to her wrists and watch as her skin molded back together after just a few seconds, and this caused her to develop an interest in becoming a doctor even at that young age. Two years later when she was closer to 16 years old, she witnessed a small child victim of as hit and run. She had picked up the unconscious child and ran to the nearest hospital, only for the youngster to have no traces of injury by the time she got there. It was then that she realized she could heal others. The one time this didn't work was when she was 17. Her pet cat passed away once when she went on a school trip to France with her French class. Upon her return, she attempted to bring the cat back to life, but she couldn't. She realized then that she could not bring the dead back to life, no matter how much she wanted.

[Wisp]

Jackson

Name: Jackson Everett
Nicknames/Aliases: Jack, Jackie
X-Men Code Name: Derecho
Gender: Male
Age: 18

Physical Description: Standing at 5'11" and weighing in at 156 pounds, Jackson's lean build shows his years of running track and doing yoga. Though his hair is naturally dark brown, he highlights it regularly with lighter shades, rarely letting it grow out. He has grey-green eyes, and his skin is naturally olive, tanning well in the sun. Most of his wardrobe consists of t-shirts, loose-fitting tanks, and shorts, joined by one of his two pairs of (nearly identical) well-worn Vans sneakers. He wears shoes until they fall apart, and it shows.

Mutations: Courtesy of the X-Gene, Jackson possesses the ability of aerokinesis, better known as air or wind manipulation. As a direct result of the manipulation, Jackson can increase his speed by reducing air resistance around himself (though he'd be no match for a speedster), and possesses an enhanced sense of touch overall, as well as enhanced hearing in environments with a steady air current. Typically, Jackson is most skilled in producing and increasing air currents, which has led to him experimenting with walking on air. He's capable of propulsion, though only on accident; in fact, almost every time he sneezes.

Personality: As though his life was intended to be one big pun, Jackson is very much a "go with the flow" type of guy. He has no qualms when it comes to letting other people make decisions, and is very comfortable with following orders (no matter how stupid they may turn out to be). He loves a good laugh and a light atmosphere, and will avoid arguments or situations that get too heavy or tense. To a lot of people, it ends up looking like he doesn't take anything seriously, whether it be a situation or his life. But Jackson just wants to live in the moment and enjoy life to the fullest, believing that no viable opportunity should be wasted because of 'what if's.

Background: Jackson is the eldest of three children in the Everett family, with two younger sisters, ages fourteen and fifteen. Jennifer and Johanna (Jenny and Jojo respectively) are both normal humans to Jackson's knowledge; Jojo, however, is aware that her older brother is a mutant. It was by complete accident that she found out, and she remains the only person in their family aware that Jackson has the X-Gene. After discovering his own mutation, Jackson watched both of his little sisters closely for any signs of oddity - any sign that what he had was genetic (in the sense of being passed down) so that they wouldn't be caught unawares. When neither of them showed any signs, he breathed a sigh of relief and reduced his hovering tendencies, much to their relief.
Growing up in an average, middle-class family meant nothing was ever really extraordinary to Jackson; the same car, the same phone, the same house, the same boring work discussions at dinner. His parents are both dental assistants, having met in university, and have raised him and his sisters lovingly. The only problem for Jackson? They're both staunchly anti-mutant. Talking about not wanting those freaks around their children, or how they deserve to know when one of them is in their community; they're pro-registration and think mutants should be locked up in labs. Honestly, after finding out, Jackson was never more happy to have had his parents not believe him when he first tried to tell them he sneezed himself out of the kitchen.
Because of his parents' views, Jackson has not only hidden his mutation for the past four years, but has worked alone to try and control it. Sure, he'd met a few mutants on accident, but he was careful to never let it slip that he was a mutant, too. It was easier to claim to be a supporter of equal rights than to actually say the words that could put him on the street. Now that he's eighteen and has graduated high school, he's leaving home to attend the Ashford Institute for the Gifted, fibbing to his parents that he's taking a year off before heading to college to explore the country a little. It's believable enough, and he's got Jojo to help him get exciting postcards to make it look like he's actually traveling.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Most people have some exciting tale where their mutation revealed itself, resulting in shock, horror, awe, or some other strong emotion. At least, that's what Jackson has gathered from the few conversations he's had with others discovering that they were mutants. Jackson, though? Jackson sneezed. It was the height of spring, pollen season at its peak, and the fourteen-year-old had just burned a pancake solidly to the griddle. Having opened the windows with great reluctance to try and air out the house before his family woke up to the odor of burnt batter, the pollen that blew in sent his allergies into overdrive, and he sneezed himself right out of the kitchen and into the living room. One broken lamp and a cut arm later, Jackson was swearing to his parents that he hadn't been messing around; they didn't believe him. Grounded for a month and well aware that they didn't trust his claim, he did his best to keep further developments to himself.

Appearance

Name: Valentina Naryshkina
Nicknames/Aliases: Val'a
X-Men Code Name: Static
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Physical Description: She stands about 5'10, with blond hair and green eyes. She weighs about 150 pounds but is quite fit and curvy where she feels she needs to be. She is commonly wearing black jeans and a green army jacket, a white shirt and black combat boots. Sometimes she's seen with black rubber gloves too.
Mutations: Transportation through Electric Currents
Personality: Valentina can be kind of standoffish when you first meet her, but after after she gets comfortable with you she's witty and likes to talk.
Background: Valentina was born the younger sister of Russian Politician. Her family was very much a 'secret' supporter of bringing the tsars back, mostly because their family was extremely intermixed with the Romanov family, and therefore the most likely to become the next Tsars if they were successful. However her brother drafted the most anti mutant legislation compared to everyone in both houses of the Russian Legislation. She wasn't nearly as conservative as her family, and labeled as something of a black sheep in her family.
Recap of your mutations awakening: Russia doesn't even allow some humans to live, mutants are to be killed on sight. So when Val'a was transported from Moscow to St. Petersburg in less than a minute after brushing against the tv, she was terrified. Every electrical outlet she touched, she was transported somewhere else. Finally, she figured out how to control her jumps a little bit, and made her way through Ukraine, to Poland, Germany, France, across the Channel to London and through the transatlantic telecommunication lines to Newfoundland and down to Xavier's school for the Gifted. They then directed her to Ashford's Institute for the Gifted and she's been there ever since.

[Cinderella Man]

"Beauty's only skin deep? Bah. Tell that to this lovely kidney~"

Name: Florence Richardson
Nicknames/Aliases:She's garnered many over the years, mostly from bullies. But she does like the nickname Nightie.
X-Men Code Name: Stitches
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Physical Description: At about 5'4" and 96 pounds, it's not exactly wrong to say that Florence is a rather frail individual. She doesn't have many curves to her body, something that she somewhat resents along with her height. Her skin is deathly pale due to a near constant avoidance of the sun, which leads to her becoming sunburned quite easily. Her eyes are a bright hazel/green depending on the light and are also somewhat small. Florence's face and features show her half Asian heritage. Her hair is platinum blonde, but she likes to partially dye it brown because she doesn't like how bright it is naturally. Typical clothing include t-shirts with red crosses, a brown or black leather jacket, and a pleated plaid skirt. She wears small, thin-rimmed black glasses with rubies embedded in the hinges.

Mutations: Florence was born with telekinesis and an unnaturally high intellect for a human being. Unfortunately for her, she never had the same kind of almighty telekinesis as others. Her telekinesis was limited to about an arms length, maybe a foot or two more, in front of her and behind her. All things considered, that sounds like it should be highly useless, but there is a saving grace. Her telekinesis has several modes of operation, or so she says. This has yet to be proven, as she refuses to show. And along with that claim, it is confirmed that her telekinesis has a quantifiable enhance in strength and general force. Probably as a result of being short-changed on range. Although she hasn't managed to do it, she reasons that eventually she might be able to shift around someone's organs if they're very close to her. She has not attempted however, as she doesn't want to do it and accidentally rupture anything.

Her intellect is genius level, perhaps a bit lower on the scale but still superhuman. She graduated out of school quite early in life and has a great grasp on higher level maths, a couple of languages, and human anatomy down to a T. Her intellect was boosted greatly around the time of her mutant awakening, throwing her brain into overdrive for a short while. Unfortunately, it seems that around the time of her awakening she was also inflicted with a bit of slight intense psychological instability as well as a lack of inhibition.

Personality: As previously mentioned, Florence is a bit... unstable. It's very easy for her to change emotions on a dime, and can switch back and forth between moods so fast that it can even surprise her. When she's not flipping back and forth between several emotions like a crazed dog that hasn't seen a human in several years, she's usually a very cheery and smile-filled individual who has a tendency to be quite playful. Unfortunately, she can be a bit too rough with her play and can end up seeming a bit creepy as well. Florence, since her awakening, has had a deteriorating sense of inhibition and she finds it much easier to be open with others as well as reaching for personal goals.

She takes an odd amount of enjoyment from the human body, enjoying showing off her expertise with anatomy by pointing out specific muscles and bones, as well as major arteries. Another quirk of hers is to point her hand out in a finger gun position and say "Bang" quietly when someone gets near her. Never really explained by her. Florence is very, very nervous and paranoid about being attacked or taken away in her sleep and as such, tends to deprive herself of sleep for days at a time. She also suffers from sleep-walking and typically ties herself down before she goes to sleep.

Background: Florence had a rather normal life growing up. She went to school like any other kid, but as she got older and older her mother took note of her daughter's intelligence and began to push her somewhat to do more with what she had. Piano lessons, advanced placement, skipping grades. And, honestly, Florence was happy with it. She wanted to be a doctor more than anything, to help people, to cure illnesses previously considered incurable. Then she awoke.

When her mutant power awoke itself, in the middle of her college education, she freaked out for days on end wondering what it would mean for her. Her career, her future. But as days passed, she found more and more that she didn't care about her career much anymore. She wanted to further explore her abilities, but wanted to do so that'd be safe for her. After doing some online searching, she found out about Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. However, upon attempting to find more information about it, she was redirected several times to Ashford's Institute. Deciding that that might be her best chance (and it was closer, gas money and all that), she enrolled in the school as quickly as she could and has since settled in somewhat. Although day by day, she continues to deteriorate mentally.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Kids are cruel, man. Florence knew that better than anyone, she thought. One day she was sitting in her school's courtyard, eating her lunch by herself to avoid conflict with her fellow students when she felt something hit the back of her head, hard. When she turned around, she saw one of the girls that'd been bothering her since she arrived at the school with a handful of rocks. She attempted to simply avoid conflict and smile the girl away, but the she wasn't having it.

As soon as she turned around another rock was thrown at her head. And when she attempted to ignore the girl in the hopes that she'd just get bored, another rock. After 3 or so rocks and the back of her head becoming sore, Florence could no longer take it. She turned around to scream at the girl, but as soon as she did another rock came whirling at her face. She braced for impact as fast as she could but expressed shock when she didn't feel intense pain in the following moments. When her eyes opened, the girl was staring in a wide-eyed fashion as the rock stopped itself in mid-air and crushed itself to dust. Almost immediately, Florence ran to the infirmary to be sent home early on the grounds of hallucination.

She found out a few days later that it wasn't a hallucination.

[PapaOso]

Appearance

Name: Nathaniel Maddox

Nicknames/Aliases: Nathan, Nate

X-Men Code Name: Ossein

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Description: Tall but slightly lanky, Nathan is still quite the physical specimen; he isn't jacked or really even all that athletically built but at 6'6" and with naturally thicker bones than the average person he can come off as imposing if not a little standoffish just from his appearance alone. He normally wears hoodies or jackets because despite being hot natured he feels more "comfortable" in them, even though that's mostly a psychological thing. Preferably he wears loose fitting, dark colored jeans or cargo pants and all around prefers comfort over fashion.

Mutations: Nathan's X Gene gives him the ability to manipulate the density of his bones. With focus he can make his bones as hard as steel, making him very durable in combat situations. He has also realized the ability to manipulate the shape of his bones, which is a painful process, but could potentially lead to him being able to mend broken bones and even reshaping parts of his body to suit specific needs; though this is only a theory at this point and he isn't sure how far his abilities reach in this aspect.

Personality: Nathan's a little...socially awkward. Before coming to the Institute he was a home-school only child being raised in an "interesting" family environment; so this will really be his first experience living outside of his childhood home with completely unknown people. It's going to be interesting to say the least. It's also worth noting that Nathan suffers from psychological issues and an intense anxiety disorder, but with the proper medication things can be kept under control.

Background: I think I'm going to explore revealing this solely in game and see how that plays out.

Recap of your mutations awakening: All I'm going to say for now is that it wasn't good...He's ashamed of what he is and honestly doesn't know how to handle everything right now. He's overwhelmed, scared, guilty, and feels like a danger to himself and to others. The rest I'll reveal in game :).

I have a lot more that I would normally add but I think that it will be cool to reveal things slowly over time through the actual RP.

[GhostReaper]

Name:Jason Maddox
Nicknames/Aliases: Maddox
X-Men Code Name: Ravager
Gender:Male
Age: 18

Physical Description: Jason is tall, about 6'1 with an athletic build. He has always been fit and tends to wear simple clothes. Jeans and T-shirt with a leather jacket. He also has a bit of a thing for tattoos, having one one covering most of his left lower arm, a kneeling night with an angle behind him and her wings spread up. A sword with angel wings on his left shoulder, a circle with eight arrows coming off and a skull in the middle, on his chest is a wolf head ingrained in a trinity knot. His body is also littered with some scars from accidents and injuries.

Mutations: Psycho kenetic energy. A form of sentient physical psychic energy that covers his body. This adds a form of armor that keeps him safe, as well as fueling his body. Any part of his body is covered by this armor is made stronger, and more durable. The energy enhancing his muscles and bone, even repairing anything damage. This is by no means a healing factor, more like the armor holds him together. Stitching up any lacerations, holding bone in place. The problem is that the more of his body he covers with the armor the more it takes, though the armor is sentient it is limited by his own capabilities, but will act of it's own accord. Defending him from threats that not even he knows about, if he is capable of it. The energy can also be shaped into different forms, making simple blades or shields on his arm.

The sentient nature of his power is also a down side. He can feel it like a presence scratching at the back of his skull and trying to push out and take control. Though it doesn't seem to be good or evil, but acting on base instinct more like a wild animal.

Personality: Jason can come across as very Stoic, even cold and distant at times. But to those who get to know him he is very much the opposite. Because of the uniqueness of his "gift" he is sometimes at odds with himself, random outburst of anger as more basic instincts are strong in him as he has to keep his rational mind in control, making him appear more . He is also a rather good artist. Drawing he finds is one way to keep calm, that and working on pretty much anything with a motor, cars, bikes, boats, jet-skies. He loves almost anything that makes a loud noise and can go fast.

Background: Madox was born in Arizona, his father owned a small motorcycle shop and he lived most of his life between that shop and school. His mother was native to the area, his father moved there after he got out of the military. You wouldn't know it by looking at him but he is actually half Mexican. Though he speaks the language fluently he mostly speaks English, most of his life was rather simple. His mother was a nurse so he would hang around his fathers shop after school was over. That is where he developed his love of motorcycles, working on them, riding them, he's even wrecked them a few times. Also some cars, some sea-doos...always trying to go bigger and crazier causing him to take more risk. He pretty much had life figured out, graduate high-school, join the military, do that for a few years and maybe go to school using the GI-bill.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Maddox's life took a different turn however. One day while racing down the free way with one of his friends they were diking around, speeding, wheelies, and darting in and out of traffic. Though while riding a car cut in front of him, but that wasn't the worse. That car hit a metal plate on the road sending it flying at him, forcing him to have to skid sliding his bike to try to avoid it. Hitting a pot hole he was sent flying. The world was moving in slow motion, he watched his bike crashing along side of him as the ground came closer. Tucking his head in he curled up into a ball as he hit the ground. There was a flash of light, he felt the impact but it felt like he landed on a cushion. Bouncing off the ground again he crashed into a car, rolling over the hood before landing and skidding along the pavement before feeling another hard smash and everything went black.

He woke in the hospital the next day, cast on his arm and leg from broken bones. Some new scars to add to his collection s he almost had to laugh some. He should be dead, but instead he left the hospital that night. His friend that he was riding with watched the entire event unfolding, even caught it on his Go-Pro. Though once seeing it, he deleted the recording. His parents found out about it as well, never being one to hide things from them. This was the first time he used his powers, and also the first time he felt the clawing at the back of his mind. The only thing he knew for sure was that his life would start to get more interesting.

[Heathen]

Name:
Caspar Deveraux

Nicknames/Aliases:
Cas

X-Men Code Name:
Blindspot

Gender:
Male

Age:
18

Physical Description:
Caspar stands at exactly 6 feet tall with pearl white hair and crisp blue eyes. His white hair is what led his parents to name him Caspar when he was an infant. He weights approximately 170 pounds and has a slender to athletic build to his body. He doesn't really lift weights but he keeps his body toned and in shape. Caspar is described as being handsome in the face, but with boyish and babyface qualities. Instead of having rough and rugged skin like most men, his skin his porcelain, smooth, and cold. He was never the type to go outside and play which warrants him having pale skin. He normally wears black and white clothing, mostly from H&M and Topman.

Mutations:
Invisible Energy Manipulation - Caspar has the mental ability to manipulate an unknown invisible energy for a variety of effects, including the rendering of himself and other objects invisible, and the construction of solid, invisible force fields. In an as yet unknown manner, this energy interacts with the cells of his entire body in such a way as to produce a new form of energy with unusual properties.

• Invisibility - By a simple act of concentration, he can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light to bend around him without distortion; he also somehow directs enough undistorted light to his eyes to retain his full range of vision while invisible. An observer, unaware of the peculiar path light takes around his body, would have the sensation of seeing through him. Caspar can also mentally project the invisible energy produced within the cells of his body in order to render other people or objects invisible. The largest volume he can as yet turn invisible at a single time is approximately 40,000 cubic feet of volume (roughly the size of a swimming pool). He has sufficient control over his power that he can turn parts of her body selectively invisible. His invisibility is undetected by all forms of technology and can only be sensed by psychics. Or one can throw water or paint in the area to see if it will create a silhouette of his body. Caspar can also make objects that are made invisible by other means visible by letting his energy interfere with theirs.
• Force Fields - While the cells of the Caspar's body process the invisible energy one way, the cells of his brain process it in a different, more potent manifestation. Through concentration, he is able to project a field of invisible psionic force which he can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms: walls, domes, cylinders, etc. The complexity of the shape is limited by his ability to imagine (mentally visualize) a particular form and keep it in sharp mental focus. The size of a given psionic force projection is also limited by his mental stamina. The smallest force projection he can visualize (and maintain the visualization) is the size of a marble. The largest solid force projection he can visualize and maintain is about 50 feet in diameter. His force projections can protect him from most impacts, energy being the easiest to deflect while physical impacts are the hardest. Since this power is an extension of his mind and body, Caspar is affected by inertial forces acting upon his projections. Thus if a car traveling at 60 miles per hour hit a wall of his force that was 6 inches thick, unless he generated a bracing shape against a sufficiently sturdy object, he would be affected as though she were hit by the car directly. Caspar is able to control the surface of the fields rigidity to a certain extent. He can cause the surface of the field to be very hard, depending on its thickness (steel-like at about 2.5 feet), or as resilient as foam rubber. By making the field more resilient he is able to absorb more of the inertia of impacts within the field without having them transmitted to his body. He is also, through training, able to alter the shapes he creates while utilizing those shapes, often to absorb or deflect the force of impacts. Caspar is also able to use this ability to simulate telekinesis to an extent. He can wrap objects/people in a bubble of force energy and push/pull them to a desired area. He is capable of using his force fields as shock waves, throwing his force fields at opponents to knock them over. Caspar can simulate flight by wrapping himself and others in a bubble and floating to a destination. Because of mental strain, he can only carry two other people inside and can only travel a few miles before becoming fatigued. By combining his invisibility and his force field ability, Caspar can create cloaking shields, hiding everything inside a force field from being detected.

Personality:
Caspar is rather intelligent and has a way with words. He's very articulate, rational, and is quite the debater. He could sell ice to an Eskimo if he had to. Caspar wouldn't exactly be described as an introvert, but he normally keeps his thoughts to himself until he feels the need to speak his mind. He's known as the king of shade because sometimes other don't know if he's being shady or genuine. Others might get the cold, stand-offish vibe from him upon first impression, but he's quite the nice person and can relatively get along with just about anyone that's nice to him. If someone is rude and obnoxious, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to let you know Caspar wouldn't like you. His facial expressions don't lie when he's around someone he particularly doesn't like. Because of this, it's hard for him to be a fake person. You will pretty much know if he likes you or not. When Caspar speaks, he tends to sound a bit monotonous in which people have to constantly remind him that he lacks any type of emotion when he talks. If he happens to be your friend, Caspar is usually the listener and let's the other person talk. Afterwards, his wisdom and intellectual words normally give the best advice and can calm even the most manic person.

Background:
Since birth, Caspar had always been kind of an odd child. He had strange habits, weird tastes, and it didn't help he was born with white hair and eyes that could pierce your soul. His family was wealthy so he had all the things he wanted. Being a strange child, it as no surprise that he didn't have many friends. It wasn't really his appearance that set them off, it was just his awkward personality and the fact he didn't like hanging with anyone. He preferred to play in the corner by himself. Most of this dissolved when he went into middle school and into private catholic high school. He got better friends that taught him to be a more outgoing person. Although he still remained the type to keep to himself, he was tolerable around others and people generally liked him. But soon enough, he began to go through some changes.

He always knew he didn't really have romantic feelings for women ever since he was little. This was reaffirmed when he found out he had a crush on the high school quarterback his freshman year. Of course he probably would be bullied because of it, he kept it hidden and refused to out himself. Around this time, his mutant abilities began to manifest themselves. They were triggered during an embarrassing moment that kept him from going back to school during his sophomore year. He knew having this "gifts" were seen as being far worse than gay. After being contacted by the Xavier Institute, they instead referred him to a new institute known as Ashford. At this point, he still remains closeted by has practiced his abilities.

Recap of your mutations awakening:
Caspar manifesting his powers was actually really embarrassing to him. During the end of P.E. he was changing in the locker room and caught himself staring at his crush undressing. Unbeknownst to him, he was staring a bit too hard which caught the attention of other guys. Words and taunts were being thrown his way that caused him to run out of the locker room and into the bathroom. He splashed water onto his face and looked into the mirror. There he noticed he was phasing in and out of the visible spectrum. One minute he could see himself in the mirror, the next second he couldn't. The embarrassment had triggered his power. He couldn't control it and ended up leaving campus and never returning.

[AquaAzura]

Appearance

Name:
Adam Sun

Nicknames/Aliases:
Know-it-all, sunshine, Sunny.

X-Men Code Name:
Programmer

Gender:
Male

Age:
18

Physical Description:
Adam is short at 5'5", and weighing in at 141 pounds putting him at a healthy weight and he has a fair amount of lean muscle on his frame which can only be seen if he's shirtless. His skin is nicely tanned, smooth and free of blemishes and acne. He has dark brown hair which is cut short and he has a nicely trimmed beard which took months to grow out, his eyes are also dark brown which are almond shaped. He typically wears fashionable clothing but no matter what the weather is like he wears scarves at all times as well as a black wristwatch and he rarely wear a pair of black rimmed reading glasses.

Mutations:
Technopathy: Adam's mutation is his ability to manipulate technology and Data. Which allows him to at a basic level of control to turn off and on things, while more complex actions he can control entire security systems, streets system and even change terabytes of Programs data in a matter of moments. He can also sense technology around him in a certain radius, which allows him to be able to control technology even if he doesn't see it. When he uses his powers longer then a few moments he'll goes into a trance like state where his mind is fully occupied when controlling technology on a large or complex scale.

Personality:
Adam is affable and flirty, most find him comfortable to be around even if one of his flirty comment failed to garner approval he almost always find a way to get out of possible awkwardness and offence with a few well picked words from Adam. Adam is a very causal person due to him being laid-back almost to being lazy, and he doesn't expect much from others and would rather relax with a person then do something exhausting while hanging out with others. He is an accepting person of nonstandard beliefs and appearances, due to his unusual state of being many things others don't usually accept, like his bisexuality and him having mutant powers. He doesn't hide either facts and he is honestly proud to be both, and hates the fact that these two aren't widely accepted, and although he would never say it he has a disdain for non-mutants for their treatment of mutants and even others non-mutants.
He also has a love of fashion and he wishes to keep up with them, even if they serve little use to his current lifestyle.

Background: To be revealed at a later point.

Recap of your mutations awakening:
Adam's awakening was rather underwhelming compared to most, he didn't even noticed his powers at first, his first use of his powers was simply making every streetlight he was riding though green. But when he himself learned of his powers it was the day after and he used his power to pull out thousands of dollars from an ATM and made sure no bank could ever learned he could do it, by getting away with it and making others believe he didn't do it.

He was discovered by luck when he accidentally caused a power plant to shutdown so he wouldn't have to go to school on what should've been a snow day.

Name: Jack Ashbourne

Nicknames/Aliases: Ashes, Firestorm, Pyro, Inferno, Blaze, Jack the Burner(a reference to Jack the Ripper, and Jack Ashbourne's ruthlessness)

X-Men Code Name: Firestorm

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Physical Description: 6'2" and muscularly built. He has wavy hair that is dark brown and usually standing up in the front. His face is angular, but not too sharp, leaving him with a nice cheekbone. His eyes are blue, fading between sky blue and ocean blue. Usually he can be found in a pair of jeans and a red hoodie

Mutations: Jack's power in pyrokinesis. He can control the fire the burns inside of him. Anytime he takes off his shirt a orange-red glow can be seen resonating from his chest. This red glow is theorized to be the source of his power and when activated flows through his veins. The brighter he glows the hotter he burns. The abilities that he has discovered so far include throwing balls of fire, heating up his body temperature to incredible heats, and even limited flight. As a side effect of this power, Jack goes through incredible amounts of food to burn for energy.

Personality: Despite his looks, Jack is strangely a gentlemen, and a confident one at that. He acts very polite at first, using his velvet voice to draw people in, but after getting to know him it starts to show that he is an egotist, constantly complimenting his own actions, and showing off for others. This is not to say that he doesn't have an appropriate reason to be so confident. His sharpened wit is in constant use when around him, as he is always thinking ahead of the situation.

Background:
Jack grew up in a poorer family. Parents who hadn't been to college, and an overabundance of siblings running around a tiny house in the suburbs. It's easy to say Jack disliked the life that had been gifted to him. He felt smarter than all of them, rightly so, though he loved them passionately. Despite trying his hardest to be like everyone else he knew, he just didn't fit in.

School was just as bad as Jack's flamboyant mouth and intelligence got him into a lot of fights. Jack didn't back down though. Each and every fight the bullies picked with him, he fought back. It wasn't often he won, but he kept trying, even antagonizing the bullies when were beating him on the ground. At such a young age, Jack was unable to defend himself well physically, but he more than made up for it with his cunningness.

Eventually Jack just ran away from home. He was only thirteen. He loved his parents. He loved his siblings. He loved his home. Many times Jack questioned how he was going to survive by himself out in the big bad world, but somewhere inside of him he always knew he never fit where he was. And Jack was hellbent on finding a place where he would fit. Naturally once he developed his abilities Jack ran into Ashford Institute for the Gifted. Finally he fit... Somewhat

Daniiiii :)

Name: Daniella Lawson
Nicknames/Aliases: Dani
X-Men Code Name: Thorn
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Physical Description: Dani stands at 5’9”. She has a slightly toned physique, and is curvaceous in size. Her dark chestnut coloured hair falls in loss, wild curls to her mid back, while framing her soft round face. Her eyes are a light brown and almost look like honey, but change colour with her moods.

Mutations: Plant manipulation and enhanced senses. The ability to create, shape and manipulate all plant life (Think Poison Ivy)

Personality: Dani is the quiet type that likes to sit back and observer people. Calmed and collected, and clever enough with a sharp tongue to never find herself in a tight situation, she’d rather talk her way out of trouble than resort to any sort of violence. However, when it comes to protecting those close to her heart, she is relentless, fierce, and savage, and won’t think twice about unleashing nature.

Background: Her family is a middle class family, with a number of four children. Dani being the youngest and only girl. Coming from a very close and down to earth family, Dani never felt alienated despite knowing she was…. different. (I don’t want to reveal too much just yet)

Recap of your mutations awakening: “I was young and scared. Flowers seemed to blossom instantly in my presence. I didn’t understand how our garden grew so beautiful, and full of different colours…. I was creating life.”

Name: Astrid Renn

Nicknames/Aliases: Sparky, Lightning, Shock, Elf, Renn

X-Men Code Name: Sparks

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Physical Description:
Astrid is tiny, around 4'9". That is the one thing that is said about her the most. Skinny and short it's very easy for her to be missed in a large crowd. When she is not surrounded by 'giants,' as she calls everyone at a normal height, she tends to attract attention. Her hair is bright red, and she loves to keep it down, hanging to around mid-back. The intensity of the color brings out the paleness of her skin, making her seem almost paper white. The only alteration to her pale skin is a series of light freckles on either side of her petite nose. Her face is rather pretty with sharp eyebrows over large sky-blue eyes. Her eyes are always full of curiosity.

As for her non-immediate physical appearances Astrid has a series of piercings. The regular earlobe piercings in addition to three more on the left side, reaching up to the top of her ear. On her belly button she has a piercing of a small heart. Her ears are slightly pointed at the end, which in addition to her size gave her the nickname the elf.

Astrid's attire mostly consists of t-shirts and jeans. She doesn't care much for dresses or shorts, especially not short shorts. Her favorite color of all time is blue. When it gets cold she loves wearing hoodies that are way too big for her small size. She thinks it brings out for tiny size, making her look cuter.

Mutations: Astrid is like a battery. The electricity that she has stored inside of her she can manipulate in many ways. Unfortunately she can't create electricity and needs to constantly charge herself as a part of her daily diet. Without electricity in her system, her heart begins to fail, and she would quickly die. On the other hand, if she gets overcharged she gets a sort of high. Some of the examples of her using her power include shooting electricity, shocking people, and recharging objects.

Personality: Astrid's pretty socially awkward from all her time away from normal people. She tries to cover this up all the time, usually with hostility. When it comes to a fight, shes the first to swing a fist. It would be a pretty good bet to say she probably started it too. Just when talking to her, she usually comes off as angry or confused.

Background: Growing up, Astrid didn't get to live a normal life. She doesn't know if she was born there, but from her earliest memory Astrid had always lived in The Lab. The Lab was some kind of scientific research center that had been running tests on her for her whole life. It was on rare occasions that she saw another human being, usually meaning something bad. Another test.

Four years ago she finally managed to escape when her power manifested. Having absolutely no idea how she did it, all the power in the facility went out. Even the backup generators that where supposed to automatically click on in an emergency where dead. Astrid made quick work of the situation and escaped into the real world. For quite a while she lived between homes. People tried to take pity on the tiny girl, but she was always so hostile in return that she immediately turned them off. Eventually she made her way to the Ashford Institute for the Gifted. Hopefully she wouldn't have to run away from this place too.
