[CHAR] X-Men: The New Era

[Rhapsody]

Name: Alison Darcy
Nicknames/Aliases: Ali
X-Men Code Name: Mirage
Gender: Female
Age: 18

Physical Description: Standing at 5'5", Alison is just barely of average height. She is slim and relatively fit, still in the habit of going jogging regularly after a childhood of being dragged along by her overly enthusiastic father. She has naturally brown hair she preferes to dye the reddest red she can get, loving the way the colour contrasts with her pale skin and green eyes. Which is also the reason she usually wears colours like green or blue that also go well with her hair. She wears little make up in everyday life, only bothers with doing it properly when there's an occasion she deems appropriate. Her usual outfit is a pair of comfortable, worn jeans, dark leather boots which she preferably wears not bound too tight, a black top with a green shirt overneath, the latter usually left open

Mutations: Illusion & (minor) Forcefield generation: To Alison her powers are like weaving nets and blankets out of strings of energy she can either channel from her surroundings, like electricity or simple energy and life force in nature, or from herself, which is limited and leaves her much weaker much quicker. The results of that 'weaving' need to be anchored somehow, which is easiest with cloth or rough surfaces. The illusions fade slower depending on if they have a continued energy source linked to them, if they don't have that because she used her own energy for creating them they last longer the smaller they are and the less detailed as well. There is no quick way to replenish her energy unfortunately, which is why that is sort of a last resort most of the time. She has to rest and eat for anything from hours to days for that.

Personality: She is a very tolerant person, thanks to growing up with rather eccentric parents she is used to ignoring various kinds of questionable character traits. She is kind of a perfectionist and rather stubborn, which results in hours and hours of training with her powers until she gets something just right. Alison is not the most confident or outgoing person but she has a good sense of humor, if sometimes a little dry and sarcastic, and once she warms up a bit she is very social. She is very warm to people and extremely prefers to avoid all sorts of confrontations, since she cannot seem to think properly when she's angry and her own inability to come up with good arguments or comebacks only makes her that much more angry. If that still happens, Alison needs some time to calm down on her own and gather herself, but she forgives others -maybe a bit too- easily so fights never last long with her. Crowds and enclosed places make her various degrees of uncomfortable and she is not a touchy-feely person by nature, especially with someone outside she doesn't really know or like too well. Alison has an unexpectedly strong spirit and is generally intelligent and independent.

Background: Alison comes from a small town in the middle of nowhere, so it's a given that everyone knows everyone and keeping a secret is close to impossible, right? Well, Alison managed to keep her powers hidden until she was 15. It was like they'd slowly started creeping in, colors she used when drawing would seem brighter, scarfs she knitted or things she wore would take on a certain quality, sometimes glittering a little, sometimes glowing, that sort of thing. It happened without her noticing much, a lot of times she was actually surprised to find that she'd just thought how cute this or that would look with a little gold woven into it and the next moment she was staring at a beige cardigan with golden string woven into it here and there. She practiced, of course. And once she got the hang of it a bit, she tried to tell her parents. That didn't go too well. Although not really afraid, they behaved strangely around her, like they were unsure who she was now that they knew she was different. After a while, they decided to go with ignoring the whole thing. They didn't talk of her powers, they didn't want to see any evidence of them, and Alison, confused beyond repair, went along and hid them, keeping them a secret. Which went fine for years, until she discovered a new possible way to use them and did so quite openly, in the middle of a bustling market place, in front of all her neighbours and in a rather showy way.
She'd been standing by the fountain beside the road, waiting for her mother to come back from chatting with a friend of hers somewhere. Everything happened so fast, she still had trouble recounting the events. It started with a car coming down the road, too fast and driving dangerously unsteady and going off the road just before it had passed the fountain. The next moment it was coming towards her, she ran, the car hit the fountain, the statue on top of it gave a worrisome crack and fell. Alison remembered watching the huge, ugly stone thing fall with quite some amusement, until she noticed the child standing right in its path, staring at an ice cream cone in it's hands. She remembered people screaming and trying to get to the boy fast enough. And then she remembered her powers acting almost on their own, weaving a big, glimmering, golden square, which then proceeded to appear just above the little boys head. How she had managed to put it there in the first place, was a mystery to her to this day, she'd never been able to do that again no matter how hard she tried. Well, to get done with the recap, the statue hit the shield, fell off to the side and that was that. Noone hurt, everyone scared, Alison terrified. Not long after that, in fact only a week later, Alison had found herself at the Ashford Institute for the Gifted.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Alisons powers have started getting noticeable after she hit puberty and got more and more prominent in the years following their appearance. Whether she had been born with them was anyone's guess especially because her parents preferred to act like they never noticed any of it at all and that they didn't even exist. It couldn't be plausibly denied anymore though after a rather public demonstration during an almost fatal accident in the middle of the small towns market place. Not a week later, Alison had found herself at the academy at the age of 15.

[Kaalee]

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.

Nathan Maddox

Name: Nathaniel Maddox

Nicknames/Aliases: Nathan, Nate

X-Men Code Name: Siphon

Gender: Male

Age: 17

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 siphon energy out of anything that he touches. He can drain batteries and other electrical things, absorb nuclear radiation, consume flames, and even siphon the very "vitality" out of human beings. As far as he knows there isn't any way for him to project the energy that he siphons back out because the energy that he absorbs seems to simply disappear.

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.

[Scarifar]

Kimberly Juno

Name: Kimberly Juno

X-Men Code Name: Voltic

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Physical Description: Brown hair, brown eyes. A petite girl, standing at 5' 2". Seemingly average build. Usually seen wearing a t-shirt and pants of varying lengths, as well as her favorite cap. All in all, pretty average.

Mutations: -Electrokinesis. Capable of generating electricity as well as controlling it to an extent.
-Enhanced physical capabilities, with agility being the main focus. She moves and jumps more quickly and farther than most humans, though right now it's not anything that normal humans can't do without years of hard work (note: Kimberly did not work for this, she was born with it).

Personality: Short-tempered and prideful, Kimberly is your typical tomboy. She is adventurous and daring, sometimes to the point of recklessness. However, she does think and act quickly during times of stress. That being said, Kimberly can be quite friendly with other people, easily striking up conversations with other people. She also displays a strong sense of justice, usually seeing issues as black-and-white.

Background: Kimberly started as a normal kid, living a normal life with normal parents. She performed slightly above average in school, had her own share of friends, a lived in a normal home. There was nothing that labeled her as too odd or weird. Her parents had enough money to live a comfortable middle-class life as well. All in all, a good life.

One day, in the middle of the night, Kimberly was woken up by a strange sound. She got up to figure out what was going on, and was grabbed by a burglar, knife near her face, before she could react. As the burglar began to question where the money and valuables were kept, however, Kimberly instinctively released a discharge of electricity, stunning the burglar and rendering him unconscious.

Eventually, Kimberly decided to reveal to her parents her ability. Needless to say, they were quite surprised to see their daughter giving off electricity. Slowly, though, they began to accept it, and it was kept a secret from others. Later on, her parents discovered a school called Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, which, if the rumors were to be believed, was not as normal as it seemed. They decided that it would be best for everyone if Kimberly was sent there, to which Kimberly agreed to.

Recap of your mutations awakening: At the age of 9 was when she first began noticing something wrong with her. Certain things tended to stick on to her, metal things she touched sometimes became slightly magnetic for a while, sometimes she gave people static shocks, even certain machines acted oddly around her. She tried to figure out what was going on in her own time, and eventually found out that she was somehow affecting electricity. If she concentrated hard enough, she found out that she could control it, and even generate some herself. She began to experiment with her new found ability over the years, attempting to better control and understand what it was she could do.

Conner Flynigann

Name: Conner Flynigann

X-Men Code Name: Synchronize

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Physical Description: Conner stands at 5' 5" with a slight build. He has dark green eyes and black hair. Conner usually wears a t-shirt, jeans, and a hoodie, all of which is usually black or grey.

Mutations: Synchronize: Conner is capable of fusing, or "synchronizing", with another Superhuman to create a more powerful being with the other. Appearances may vary, though the being's abilities always have enhanced versions of the other superhuman's abilities. Essentially, a new form is created with two minds working as one.

Personality: Conner isn't exactly social. He tends to just listen to others talk, although there are times he's willing to speak his mind, particularly with those he is comfortable talking to. However, he is quite intelligent, and will make the effort to learn about anything that seems or is important in some way.

Background: Conner lived a bit of a harsh life, his family barely able to make ends meet. Fortunately, after a time of stress, they were eventually able to keep a roof over their heads and food on their plate every day, so they had it better than some. School was hardly an obstacle for Conner, having earned exemplary grades every day. However, what really made life bearable for him was his classmate and childhood friend Kimberly. The two were almost inseparable, having formed a close bond with each other.

Time passed, with Conner eventually discovering his ability, which led to him searching over various forms of information for other signs of beings like them. One of the findings, of course, was about Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters . Conner researched further into it, and found that it was a place for people like Kimberly and himself, people with extraordinary abilities. With no concrete proof about such rumors, however, Conner chose not to blindly believe that such things were true. Kimberly, however, wanted him to go check it out as well, so, against Conner's better judgement, they decided to tell Conner's parents about his abilities. Conner's mother was quick to accept it. However, Conner's father was horrified to find that his son and his best friend were both mutants. With that event, Conner decided that it was best to leave and make his way to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Years passed, with Kimberly revealing her electric powers to Conner and the two figuring out how they worked. One day, during another test, Kimberly and Conner were having a bit of fun, and the two connected with each other. Then the two kids merged together to form a new being. They promptly separated soon after, and Conner was quick to come to the realization that he had an even odder ability. Naturally, the two worked together even more to figure out how each other's abilities worked.

[knighthawk]

Tomahawk

Name:Alexandrew "Xavier"
Nicknames/Aliases:Alex.
X-Men Code Name: Tomahawk
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Physical Description:
5'8" with an Olympic athletic tone. Usually he wears camouflage pants of various realistic patterns (no ridiculous pink with yellow) with combat boots using a zipper insert that keeps the cordage of the shoelace with the quickness the zipper provides. He dresses in layers as he was taught to do from a young age normally tank-top to t-shirt to button-up to coat. He makes sure his clothes always have pockets for his Altoid survival kits. His clothes are rarely new, often from second hand stores or army surplus of his own volition to save money for an emergency.
Mutations:
Powers: Increased speed strength and agility. Currently four times those of a normal human but tests show no signs of decrease or leveling off. Right now it seems like a mere extension of his martial arts but has the potential to be on par with spiderman if his mutation continues.
Personality:
Fun-loving most of the time with strong underpinnings of right and wrong. He HATES bullies and with always run to the aide of someone getting picked on no matter the odds. To him the bad guys are the biggest bullies he can see. He has been trained to prep and prepped to train so he is always looking around his environment to use whatever is on hand to get the advantage to survive.
Background:
Born to a fireman mom and cop dad. Sadly his dad died on the job while their child was still a baby, but Xanders mom would be consoled by his partner who eventually became his second mother before he was old enough to know any better. Raised by two women would make anyone a bit of an odd man out, but he took it as best he could with such a large target on his back.

When the bullying started, both moms agreed to have him take martial arts for the act of discipline more than anything else. He was taught how to use a hatchet both because of his parents Native American heritage to the tomahawk and his mom being a fireman that hatchets and axes were always available. After his dad had died, both his moms had started to become doomsday preppers with lots of focus on survival and bugging out with him being raised in the same ways as well in case he ever had to leave quickly for having two mothers. Part of that prepping included supervised gun use him his mothers standard issue shotgun, another part of that constant prepping meant taking him to both of their works and learning some tricks of the trade like how to use an emergency vehicle or any other huge vehicle. In case of, well, emergencies.

When he turned 15 his moms took him to a police impound auction to buy his first car with his permit, expecting him to get something cheap but running. He surprised them both with buying a totaled tow truck and spent a year rebuilding the engine instead. They had instilled in him a need to prepare so he opted for a vehicle with enough power to get him wherever he needed and pull anything behind he would need. His parent made him an emancipated minor as another tool to add to his survival skills since he could count himself as legally employed.

An incident occured at school when his powers activated for the first time. The cover story was that a low flying aircraft flew overhead that caused the boom and his earphones saved him from the stunning air pressure when he went to help the kid. He was expelled for violence but wasn't arrested for assault as he was stopping a hate crime in progress. He changed his last name to protect his moms who had him legally divorced then expunged from the family records and left home to learn how to use his talent.

Recap of your mutations awakening:
When he was 16 his power manifested as he saw the high school football team dragging a known gay student into the locker room clearly against his will. The speed that he ran to the rescue actually broke the sound barrier, the rest seemed to stand in slow motion as Alex began brutally beating on every one of them within an inch of their lives. 20 to 1 yet he didn't have a scratch on him except for the falling glass from blown out windows of the sonic boom, it was then that the x-men came for him.

Skills:
Dedicated studies of martial arts over ten years including hand ax/hatchet/tomahawk training
Licensed to drive standard vehicles and trained to drive emergency vehicles (class C license).
Doomsday preparation/survival folk
Proficient on 12 ga. shotgun, license to carry

My Hider

Name: Da Cheung

Nicknames/Aliases: The Bear Thing, Big Gray, Yeti, Tree Man.

X-Men Code Name: Drop Bear

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Physical Description: 6 foot 4, 250 pounds of muscle and sinew, and covered in coarse, gray fur. He has a big black nose shaped like a lozenge, beady black eyes, fuzzy ears... Alright, I'll just address the elephant in the room here and say that he's a burly koala man. He is often dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, but usually goes bare-chested wearing loose pants with hand and footwraps for any self defense classes he may take, or really for any tasks that might require a lot of mobility/flexibility.
Mutations: Da once had the ability to take on the physical features of different animals/people if he came into extensive contact with their bodily fluids. However, his DNA has been changed so drastically that this power has been swapped entirely for a new one.
As a half animal, his instincts are heightened. His martial arts come more naturally to him than mere muscle memory, and he has developed a natural sense for climbing, able to find feasible routes up buildings, trees, and rock faces. He has also developed the claws, strength, agility, and muscular endurance of a koala. He can hold onto ledges for hours or even days, and lift and carry up to 300 lbs with ease. Given his training combined with his new, enhanced body, he is also tough as nails, incredibly durable, and able to heal quickly. (As in, "broken bones are in working order in one or two weeks, big lacerations are gone in a few days", not, "I can re-attach my arm in the midst of battle.") He can also hear and smell exceptionally, useful for tracking people down (or avoiding them, as the case may be) from up to one mile away.

Personality: Cheung is very calm and very laid back and optimistic, not often letting negative things get under his skin. He practices Kung Fu as exercise and sport, and has been taught that it is wrong to intentionally harm people or animals since the day he arrived at the monastery. He never had the time to find out whether his koala stomach was capable of handling meat, because he has always been staunchly vegetarian.

Background: Da Cheung doesn't remember much about his younger years. He remembers that he used to have a mom and a dad and some older siblings. He also remembers that when he was 8, his parents branded him a demon and sent him to a monastery, as it seemed he had developed an odd tongue, claws, and mottled skin after playing with their new dog. He never came into contact with many animals again after that. At least that's what the priests he lived with told him. He doesn't really remember what he looked like then. He remembers seeing everything in shades of green, and being able to smell things that other people couldn't.

He slowly returned to "normal" over the course of a year, but showed no interest in returning to his home, and the monks, finding that "his spirit was particularly adaptive to the fellow creatures he came into contact with" felt that he would live a much safer life in the monastery. Then the scientist came.

He doesn't remember what his name was. He only knew that he too was a pacifist, and when the militaries funding the project (It had been a short-lived scientific cooperation between the US Army and the PLA) asked him to create mutant killing machines, he had purposefully come up short every time. This time, his supervisors had had enough. They demanded exactly what they wanted this time: A highly trained individual of enlisting age with enhancements suited to short-range and guerilla warfare.

That was when he decided to lure a peaceful young monk to the laboratory and combine him with an equally peaceful woodland creature... The supervisors were infuriated, and the scientist was never seen again. Da, now the thing he is today, ran off, but was procured by authorities and sent to a mutant asylum on one of the pacific islands. It was later found and liberated by a band of mutant protesters, and Da, being one of the few of schooling age, was sent to Xavier's institution with the minors and other young adults.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Since he can no longer be seen in public, and has been separated from everyone he's ever known and loved, (Who now have no idea where he is, or if he's still alive...) Da regards the experiment back home to be the most tragic thing that's ever happened to him in his life. He hasn't kept it a secret (Nor can he, really, without being dressed conspicuously,) and anyone who's seen him knows for sure that he's a mutant.

Danny Green

_{"Life doesn't need to hand me lemons. I can just make them myself."}

Name:

Daniel Aiden Green

Nicknames/Aliases:

Danny

X-Men Code Name:

Chlorophyll

Gender:

Male

Age:

18

Physical Description:

When you first look at Danny, he might seem like he doesn't really bring anything to the table as far as athleticism goes but he can definitely hold his own. The boy has a slender to average figure with muscular lines showing on his shoulders and torso which indicates that he's no athlete but he does enough to stay fit. Most of his curves seem to be on the lower half of his body, having bigger thighs and a bigger butt than most boys his size. It's nothing over the top, but he has more of a female shape if one sees him from behind. He's average height being approximately 5'10 and weighs about 140 pounds, but he doesn't exactly weigh himself everyday. Moving away from his stature, his features are what really define him starting with his natural phoenix red hair. He tends to get mad when people all him a ginger since his hair is more of an auburn color than orange and doesn't have any other features that a typical ginger person would have. However, his hair is his most notable feature next to his eyes which are a piercing green color which tend to glow when he's using his power to an extreme. He has average to above average attractiveness about him that he doesn't really see he has. His features are more on the pretty side than handsome which prompts the names "twink" or "flower child" to be thrown his way that don't really bother him. Lastly, he's not exactly the most tannest individual. Even though he's required to get plenty of sunlight, his skin betrays that aspect as he looks like a typical white boy when in fact he's half Hispanic. Overall, he has a very decent appearance with some moderate sex appeal, but it isn't anything to make anyone awestruck.

As far as his clothes, he always wears things that are not from animals due to him being vegan. All of his clothes are either cotton, polyester, or some other type of plant or synthetic material. He'll tend to wear things from American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, or Forever 21. He achieves more of a hipster and preppy look but with more fashion as he makes sure he's up to date with current trends. However with anything he decides to wear, he'll always have something green on which is more of a signature item because of his ability.

Mutations:

Plant Manipulation - Danny is a powerful chlorokinetic who can grow, animate, and manipulate all plant life. He can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, even moss and (for practical reasons) fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. Danny can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. Danny can "speak" to plants and use their power for defense and support by growing them from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries. He can even use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects. He tends to use his knowledge of Botony to achieve this as average plant movers are unable to do this. Though he is more of a passive user of this ability, he can deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Using the plants as weapons enables him to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the his will. Danny can make vines grow and climb around a targets, causing choking/squeezing, or even strike with plants. It is unknown how powerful his plant abilities can go. Not only can he manipulate plants, but he can manipulate the toxins and pheromones they carry. He can make subtle moves by poisoning, paralysis, or inducing sleep to other people depending on the plants.

Contaminant Immunity - Danny can neutralize all existing detrimental contaminants in his body. His immunity, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced or evolved far beyond that of a normal human's. Danny is completely immune to every form of contaminant known to man. He is immune to all known poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, alcohol, radiation, drugs, gases, and diseases. Basically his body is completely healthy and he is unable to get sick from any contaminants.

Weaknesses:

With controlling plants and basically nature itself, there is sure to be drawbacks. Yes nature is a powerful force, but plants are very fragile in nature. Harsh weather conditions such as ice, heat, and even electricity can easily harm vegetation and reduce it to withering nothingness. A lot of the times, Danny must be in the right climate for his powers to even work. If he's in an area with harsh blizzards, most plants he can make will be unable to grow there, same with him being in the tropics, a desert, etc. He would only be able to grow plants native to that area that can actually sprout from that ground. That's why he prefers to be in a moderate environment where he has more freedom with his powers. Also, it takes a lot of energy and concentration to make several plants and vegetation. He is limited like all mutants to what he can create so if he strains to much, he'll suffer from nosebleeds to headaches to unconsciousness. However one of his most significant weaknesses is his body himself. Prior to his X-Gene manifesting, he suffered from a skin diseases that hindered him from going out into the sun. Now a mutant, his diagnosis seemed to have reversed. Yes he is a immune to every contaminant, but he suffers from one. His body is like a plant. He needs more water and sunlight than the average human. If he doesn't achieve this, his skin will turn an ugly green color, he'll get sick and possibly die if not exposed to water or sunlight for too long.

Personality:

Danny likes to keep to himself most of the time if he's not preaching his views on global warming and protecting the environment. If he's in an area where he doesn't know anyone, he'll stay quiet and people will assume he's shy which is not really the case. It takes him awhile to get to know someone and get comfortable around him. This kind of makes it hard for him to make friends off the bat, but ends up becoming a good one when given the chance. Because he was home-schooled most of his life due to his previous medical condition, he didn't really have that much interaction with other kids his age. It took his time to get to know the current trends and the "hippest" things to say. After awhile, he seemed to fit in with everyone just fine, but he tends to revert back to his sociopathic tendencies every so often as it isn't something you can get rid of easily. Most of the time, he is that one person in social situations that sit back and listen rather than put in his own two cents unless asked to. He'll just nod occasionally and judge quietly but never out loud. He's more of a passive aggressive person than anything and is an expert shade thrower which he learned fluently from the LGBT+ community. Speaking of which, he tends to get a bit odd when he does speak to people. Not odd in a bad way, but he tends to flirt with people without really knowing it. It could be with a man or a woman, gay or straight, he'll flirt with them. He doesn't really realize he's doing it unless someone tells him. He tries to stop, but its something he's working on. It's probably just the seductive tone he speaks in which leads people to believe this.

Then there's the other side of him. Danny is a devout Vegan and tree hugger who makes it his life mission to protect the Earth. It's kind of scary how he can be a sweet soul one minute but as soon as someone litters on the ground, he snaps and goes on a tangent about harming the environment. He can be real stern and somewhat abrasive when it comes to his beliefs. Often times he has to snap himself back and realize he's being too pushy when trying to be an Eco-warrior. He'll tell others that they need to stop using plastic and foam products and recycle more. He's even gone as far as by recycle bins and books on the environment. Danny is that annoying hall monitor with the whistle when he sees someone chopping down trees or even using a paper plate. As far as others eating meat, he doesn't say anything but he judges silently, even nonchalantly mentioning what's in certain products so they'll never eat them again. He's a very intelligent person and very eloquent when he speaks, so when he goes on his rant, its kind of hard to stop him because most of the time you never know what to say after. He's more book smart than anything and sometimes lacks common sense when solving problems. Overall, his a good person but don't litter or you'll hear an earful.

Background:

Danny grew up as an only child to a white father and a Mexican mother. Just about his whole life, he's always trying to validate that he isn't some pasty white boy despite his skin color and bright red hair. Since he was born, he was diagnosed with Solar urticaria, a rare skin disorder that prevented him from going out into the sun or he would get red blisters that appeared on his skin almost instantly. He would have to dress up like it was winter outside just to play, so ultimately he just stayed indoors all day and developed pale skin. Because of his condition, he was home-schooled and was denied a normal childhood for the majority of his life. He never knew what it was like to play with other kids or have issues that all kids face. When he was about 11 or 12, puberty kicked in and that's when his life was changed forever. After the manifestation of his abilities, his Solar Ulticaria mysteriously vanished and he was able to be outside just like everyone else. It was a medical mystery to doctors but he was completely cured of any prior illnesses he ever had. Because of this, Danny felt the need to enter public school to be with other kids his age. At the age of 14, he decided to enter public high school to be with other kids his age. At first it wasn't a very pleasant experience since he had never interacted with others his age. It took him awhile to get the swing of things and in no time he was fitting in with everyone else. During this time, he was discovering himself and learning his sexual desires, something he never even gave a thought to before. He learned he was a very open person with no set sexuality. He loved all people. Other than his social life, he was a very intelligent person making straight A's and being in the top 10 percent of his class. Science was his favorite subject and specialized in studying toxicology and plant life.

After joining the Green Club in his school freshman year, he turned to veganism after educating himself on animal cruelty and the consequences of global warming. After his abilities had manifested, he was even more inclined to join the club as he felt it was his duty to protect the Earth. During high school, he developed a lot of like minded friends who would go on retreats and protests to fight against people who destroyed vegetation, trees, and animal homes for construction. He also joined a Peace Core and went around growing gardens and feeding the homeless with his powers. There was an incident when they were at a protest and one of the bull dozer technicians decided to get bold and start fighting some of the students. In a fit of rage, his eyes began to glow bright green and commanded the trees to attack the man. This was the first time he ever lost control of his abilities and it scared him. Around this time is when the Ashford Institute contacted him about attending their school for others like him. Because of the incident that could have got the government to capture him, he was obliged to enroll.

Recap of your mutations awakening:

As stated above, Danny acquired his abilities when he hit puberty. The first sign was when he was planting seeds in his little pot next to his bedroom window for it to grow. He always liked plants but this time, he was stroking the soil and wanting it to grow already. After he walked away and came back, it had already sprouted. Since then, he always assumed that plants grew because people wanted them to. Because people told them to. He thought everyone could do what he did. He was a very naive child at the time but he soon learned otherwise. Spending time at home, he watched a lot of TV and learned there were more people like him and that not everyone liked them. Danny started to hide what he did and to keep what he did to himself. Red flags were already going off because his disorder disappeared and he was unable to get sick. From then on, he's just practiced and perfected what he could do.

Name: Samuel Jarvelainen

Nicknames/Aliases: Sam, Sammy

X-Men Code Name: Platina

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Description: Samuel is an athletic and well built individual, weighing 178 lbs and standing 6 feet tall. He has blonde, shoulder long hair, a beard and bright green eyes. He likes to wear street clothes, always avoiding suits or other types of formal wear, often saying that he hates them. His most common attire is composed of blue jeans, black t-shirt (sometimes replaced by a striped black and grey hoodie), black leather jacket and black canvas shoes(sometimes replaced by sneakers or even boots depending on the weather).

Mutations: Platinum Mimicry - Samuel has the ability to transform his entire body into some form of organic platinum, an extremely rare, precious and gray-white colored metal found only in a handful of places in the world: South Africa, Russia, Zimbabwe and south-eastern Canada. The transformation drastically improves Samuel's strength and endurance also making him immune to diseases. Every time he transforms, Samuel also takes on the properties of platinum like excellent corosion resistance, high resistance to chemicals and high temperatures and unaffected by the actions of air or water. Unfortunately, since platinum is one of the heaviest of metals, it also affects his mobility making him very heavy. It also makes him weak to magnetism.

Personality: Samuel is by all means a rebellious individual. He's not an authority friendly person which got him in trouble numerous times in high school. He has his own set of rules which he follows to the letter and dosen't really like to talk about. He's a huge rock and metal fan and his smartphone is full to the brim with songs from these two musical styles. He also plays the guitar and is a good mechanic, loving to work with cars. When he's not doing either of these two things he likes to waste time playing video games. He's also a hard person to become friends with as he is highly distrustful of strangers, but those who do succeed breaking that hard shell of his will find that on the inside he's quite a nice and loyal individual. He likes to say exactly whats on his mind and dosen't like to hide the truth or lie just because he might hurt someone's feelings.

Background: Samuel was born in Tampere, Finland. He lost his father at the age of 2, after a hunting accident in which one of the men he was with confused him with an animal and shot him. One year later Samuel's mother took him and moved to the United States where she attempted to start her life over eventually finding herself another man. This din't go well with Samuel who didn't like the guy at all and developed a rebellious and disgruntled attitude. He also started having low grades at school and often getting in trouble. There were even reports of bullying coming from him.
(More background will be revealed in the RP. This is just a taste.)

Recap of your mutations awakening: One day, when he was 15, he heard his parents arguing. He got out of his room and climbed down the stairs as they were arguing and saw his mother beying treated like a punching bag by his very drunk and fired up stepfather. Samuel attempted to stop him but there wasn't much he could do against a pretty big guy like his stepfather. Angry, the man pushed Samuel away, into the table making him hit his head. An upset Samuel quickly saw that his arms were beginning change into some kind of metal. Then from the arms, it continued to the whole body. Initially he thought it was silver, because of the color. He rised up on his feet and started beating up his stepfather with an unimaginable strength. Samuel beat him all the way into a coma, stopped only by his mother. As he became normal again, Samuel looked at his hands with shock and ran to his room, packing some stuff in a backpack and running away from home. He settled in an abandoned building and as the days past he resorted to stealing to survive. Before that particular event there weren't any signs that might have shown Samuel that he's different then everybody else.

Hider

Name:Amarie Matthews

Nicknames/Aliases:Amie | Ama
X-Men Code Name: Wicca
Age:17
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Amarie is the weird but girly girl dresser. She's around give feet and six inches, quite petite even with a well honed physique from regular activity, dancing and doing gymnastics. She is a brunette and has kind, inquisitive hazel eyes that compliments her overall beauty.
Mutations: Mental
Telekinesis The Basic Power that almost everyone has, she has the power of moving objects with her mind. As in, objects, people, and other things if she trains enough. She could levitate her body, but only if its triggered by her emotion of fear.
Empathy Amarie can fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. They can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. With bit of practice she may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects.
Premonition Later in the roleplay, she is going to develop the ability to see the past, present and the future.

Personality:Amaria enjoys a multitute of things, she is a serious little bookworm. She loves to study and excels in her classes, she has often contemplated the idea of doubling up and taking college classes at the same time as her high-school ones. Though, Amarie may be the weird girl who likes to wear black and act strange at times, but overall she could be silly and fun. Sometimes she could confuse people about her age, by the way she acts. A bit more mature than some of the students whom reside in the academy. Protective of those who are weak and will face those who are much bigger and stronger than herself.

Background:Amarie comes from a family of four, mother, father, brother, and herself. Her brother is younger by seven years. For the most part they were normal, living in America because their fathers political business drew them there. They still often returned home to Albania, but as far as her accent goes—It’s mostly invisible, her time stateside having mostly destroyed it. Though she does fluently speak the language. Until the age of eleven, she was subjected to exorcisms and different…Medical procedures that her people believed in to try and draw the demon out of her. Her ability would flare when she grew to happy, or too sad. She grew to be a cold little girl, trying to hide herself so she could ‘rid herself of the demon’ that infected her. Of course, none of these things worked for long, and her parents were just short of agreeing to a lobotomy from their home country when a man dropped a letter right in-front of her parents. Amarie remembers that night clearly, answering the door—Remembers that he told her parents that she wasn’t at all possessed… Just, gifted. And thus making Amarie reside into the academy.
[more to be told throughout RP]

Recap of your mutations awakening:Her mutation appeared when she was eight. Early by some standards, but it would often trigger in her sleep, causing different things around her room to float when she had nightmares. Her sub conscious always sought to protect her from intruders, and when her mother came in to check on her one night, random objects started flying at her. Luckily she closed the door in time and remained uninjured, but the superstitious woman believed her daughter to be possessed when she reopened the door just a crack—Seeing her child floating inches off her bed.

[Guess Who]

Hero

Damian Hill

Name: Damian Hill

X-Men Code Name: Shade

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Description: 5’11, 160 Ibs, slightly thinner build than average, wears very casual clothing (T-shirt, jeans, etc.)

Mutation: Shadow Manipulation. Damian can control his shadow and shape it into anything he wants. Whatever he forms it into though has to be the same size as his shadow was before he began to manipulate it though. Also, the darker the shadow, the harder and more unbreakable it will become, so the brighter the light and more transparent the shadow is the more likely it will be for it to crumble with very little force.

Personality: It would be an understatement to say that Damian has little self-confidence. Unless told otherwise, he usually believes that he's messing up at whatever it is that he's doing, whether it be working on a simple class assignment, fighting an opponent in combat, or just simply having a normal conversation with another person. One thing that he has come to enjoy because of this constant self-doubt is video games as it's usually much more obvious to him if he's doing something wrong or not.

Background: If Damian had never acquired his powers he probably would have had a good life. Loving parents. Plenty of friends. That’s not what happened though. Instead he was born a mutant and was hated and feared by the few people that he interacted with. His parents would constantly hide him away from any visitors and barely let him leave the house. They told Damian it was because they feared for his safety, for what people might do to him if they found out. The truth was that they wanted to protect their reputation. They didn’t want people to know that their child was a ‘freak.’ When Damian was sent away to Ashford Institute for the Gifted, part of him was relieved to finally get away from his family, though he would never admit it.

Recap of your mutations awakening: When Damian was 9 years old, his parents had left him to play on his own on the first floor of the house while they relaxed upstairs. The young boy quickly grew bored on his own and tried to go to his parents and ask to play with them, but his parents had other plans. They had completely blocked the staircase and prevented Damian from leaving the ground floor. All the young child wanted was someone to play with… and he soon got that wish. Suddenly, his shadow seemingly began to move on its own, moving all around the room, picking up objects, and making quite a mess. For the next several hours, Damian practiced and experimented with his gift until he knocked over a large vase, bringing parents downstairs to discover what their son had discovered.

Theme Song:

Villain

Phobetor

Name: Phobetor

Gender: N/A

Age: Unknown

Physical Description: Phobetor takes the form of whatever its host fears most. It can appear as anything or anyone.

Power: Phobetor chooses a single host that it invades the dreams of. Its goal is to feed on their fear by controlling their nightmares. It does not leave and choose a new host until its current host dies. Once it has gained enough power, it's possible for the chosen host of Phobetor to begin seeing and hearing it even while awake.

Personality: Phobetor is the very definition of the Eldritch Abomination. It just exists. It is not human. It is not mutant. It has no emotions and, therefore, no personality.

Background: For as long as there has been fear, Phobetor has existed. It chooses its victims at complete random and stays with them until it can no longer feed. It was first discovered by the Greeks and was mistaken to be a god, which is why it shares the name of a being from their Pantheon. No other information is known about this being other than that it is completely undetectable by even the most powerful psychics, unless the host is asleep.

[KaiserElectric]

Sabrina

Name: Sabrina De Luca
Nicknames/Aliases: Cappuccino, Fangs, Snark Queen
X-Men Code Name: Arachne
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Physical Description: Sabrina stands exactly six feet tall, with a curvy amazonian build to match it, and as I'm sure you've noticed at this point, she bears a striking resemblance to arachnids of the Theraphosidae family. In layman's terms, she's a mutant tarantula girl, complete with coffee-toned "fur", a pair of talons on each foot, fangs on either side of a mouth full of sharp teeth, and extra pairs of eyes and arms to boot. She likes to style the fur on her head so it resembles a short hairdo, and she tends to wear lighter casual clothes, favoring a simple pairing of loose jeans a tank top. She doesn't wear shoes since she has yet to find a pair that fit her, and she's more comfortable without them anyway.

Mutations: Sabrina's elaborate mutation has given her many of the attributes of a predatory arachnid. Her agility and reflexes are drastically heightened as a result, but she's no pushover when it comes to raw power either, and she has four muscular arms to prove her point for her. She also has a tough leathery exoskeleton hiding under that fur, and her bones are so sturdy that she can leave indents in steel with those impressive teeth of hers. It's also worth noting that she is able to cling to smooth surfaces with ease, and she can see in infared in addition to her normal vision. Those sharp fangs on the side of her face produce venom as well, but it is barely even debilitating, let alone lethal. At worst, you'll get a feeling comparable to your leg waking up after it falls asleep. Sabrina's somewhat bulky three-fingered hands make using devices like computers and phones tricky, however, and she's highly susceptible to bright flashes of light.

Personality: Despite her outlandish and monstrous appearance, you'd have trouble finding someone half as friendly or approachable as Sabrina De Luca. Carefree and laid-back, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Snark" always seems to respond to every crisis with a flippant remark or clever pun, and there's nothing she enjoys more then giving her friends a good ribbing every once in a while. She can sometimes be a little careless or overconfident as a result, but when things look bleak, you can always count on Sabrina to get you through with an endless barrage of flirtatious behavior and witty retorts. She's an idealist and an optimist to the core, and behind all the snark and silliness is someone who will stop at nothing to do what's right. Sabrina can speak English and Italian fluently, and understands a bit of French and Spanish as well from her childhood. She's also a carnivore due to her mutation, and can't really eat any plant material besides some grains and fruits without becoming violently sick. She's also a big motorcycle enthusiast, and her preferred method of transportation is her sporty yellow Yamaha cycle.

Background: Sabrina was born in the town of Costa Grazie in southern Italy, a modest town whose beachfronts and natural beauty made it a bustling tourist destination for all classes of people. Her mother passed away when she was young, and her father was the local manager for a multi-national hotel chain with a location in the town. Sabrina was his only child, and she has fond memories of playing in the hotel lobby and meeting all sorts of interesting and friendly people from all over the world visiting her little town. She was happy, she was doing well in school, and she made friends easily with the other kids in her town. Life was simple, at least until she turned 11 and sprouted an extra pair of arms.

Sabrina's father was no fool, and he quickly realized that the extra arms marked his daughter as a mutant. He tried to keep the situation quiet for his daughter's sake, but in a small town like Costa Grazie, things didn't stay secret for long. Sabrina was eventually outed as a mutant, and while a few people avoided her afterwards, most of the people in town accepted her just as they always did. She managed to live a relatively normal life in spite of the extra arms for a few years and had even started doing odd jobs at the hotel her father ran before the inevitable happened.

A rumor involving a mutant suspected of a murder in Corsica had been spreading through the area, and by the time the sensationalized story had reached Costa Grazie, it was enough to push the people in the town that were scared of mutants over the edge. The details of the incident were covered up, but in the aftermath Sabrina's mutation had evolved to the point where it is today, and her father had been given a new position at a resort in Virginia, far away from her home town. Sabrina's father was still worried about what would happen if his daughter was discover here and was thinking of a place she could go to be safe and still make friends and interact with others like she used to, as the homeschooling and isolation wasn't exactly working out for the outgoing Sabrina. As luck would have it, he was thinking about this conundrum when one of his wealthy guests mentioned a mutant school being run by one of their associates, a man named Malcom Ashford. He quickly made contact with the school to set up Sabrina's tutelage, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Recap of your mutations awakening: The final progression of her mutation...isn't something Sabrina likes to discuss. Let's just say it involved a significant amount of trauma for now, and leave it at that. (I can PM this to the GM if they want to know ahead of time, though)

Theme song: Just for fun ;)
