[1.01]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.
[1.02] Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.
[1.03] You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know.
[1.04] No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.
[1.05] PC's are not to be killed without permission. Nameless NPC's are fine, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator.
[1.06] This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. That said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.
[1.07] Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.
[1.08] Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.
2. OUT OF CHARACTER RULES:
[2.01] Respect the Game Masters. The GMs' words are to be adhered, please don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.
[2.02] Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.
[2.03] Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.
[2.04] No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.
3. CHARACTER CREATION RULES:
[3.01] You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact. All invincible superhumans or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. Note that you an be inspired by another DC character and/or related but I don't want to see a carbon copy. Remember that the world is not accepting of mutants and no matter what abilities you have, you will be consider a freak.
[3.02] In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding. Powers should fall into a specific niche, look at Shadowcat, Cyclops and Jean Grey. All their abilities are limited to a specific spectrum, we want you to do the same.
[3.03] While 'legacy' characters are allowed, you'll need to ensure they don't contradict any of the above mentioned lore. Furthermore we ask that not everyone apply as a legacy character, original characters are encouraged. Legacy characters will be under harsher scrutiny than original characters.
[3.04] Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this. Character sheets will also not be accepted based on a first come basis, but rather on who the GM feels will be best for the RP. That said, there will be a window for applicants, after this window, character acceptance will be closed until such a time as the RP requires new players.
[3.05] All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of RPG and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.
[3.06] Character Sheets are to be posted in the OOC Thread for review and once accepted posted in the Character Thread. At the end of your sheet, please write your (not your character's) favourite beverage. Failure to comply with these rules will delay your acceptance as you obviously did not read through the rules and therefore can not be trusted to adhere to those laid out for the OOC and IC threads. Additionally, do not announce this rule or hint towards it within the OOC. If someone can't read the rules for themselves, they likely can't read the IC and we don't want their kind here.
[3.07] Forbidden abilities include the following: Blood Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation, Time Manipulation and any Reality Altering ability. As a safe guard, any ability that requires you to mod/get permission from another player would also be rejected. Abilities will be reviewed on a case by case basis of course but please think before applying. I'm all for being unique but don't choose abilities solely for that reason.
[3.08] Failure to adhere to any of the character creation rules will lead to rejection of the application with a citation of the broken rule(s). Permission to re-apply will be given on a case by case basis depending on the rule(s) broken and the quality of the application. Critique will be given on Character Sheets which don't break any rules but aren't quite up to an acceptable standard. Please be willing to work with the GM in the event of this.
SEXUAL CONDUCT:
This is an open world RP and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 14-17 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 18-22. Obviously there's some grey area in there and I'd understand 16-18 should also be a range but please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.
COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY:
If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

Luke has a slender frame that is covered in compacted muscle built up from years of training and toning his body. He torso and legs are built like someone who regularly competes in marathons and free running competition while his arms and shoulders are built more like that of a boxer mixed with a martial artist. Luke prides himself on being more balanced in his physique and as such as kept his flexibility and somewhat slender frame despite his well chiseled biceps and abdominal. Deep blue with flecks of icy blue strewn throughout, Luke's eyes are known for being able to look right through someone as though he is staring into their soul. Luke has deep brown hair with strands of gold and auburn acting as natural highlights, these are most visible in bright light where as in dim and barely lit places, Luke's hair can seem to be almost black. He keeps his hair anywhere from a short to medium length, often grooming it into various ways.
Luke's general attire ranges from long sleeve mock tees to hoodies usually. Always paired with loose or boot-cut, dark-wash jeans. In collaboration with these, Luke prefers to wear semi loose fitting tops in an effort to hide his more chiseled physique so as not to draw too much attention to himself. To that end he often will wear a t-shirt paired with a hoodie and jacket, or a long-sleeved shirt adorned with a hood and a jacket. Depending on the weather though Luke may wear just a t-shirt, or just a long sleeved mock tee. Often his outfit is complimented with a leather jacket.
When Luke's abilities are in use his skin will start to glow a pale luminescent blue growing brighter the more photons he absorbs. This can be something of a hindrance as he often absorbs the light in a room to hide.
| A B I L I T I E S: |
Photon Manipulation:
■ Absorption | Luke is able to absorb the photons from any source of light which is then stored in his body causing his skin to illuminate a pale blue glow. In artificially lit environments this can cause the room to become dim even completely dark as Luke absorbs the entire source of light. The more photons Luke absorbs, the more his body will glow.
■ Expulsion | Once Luke has absorbed enough photons, he can expelled it either in an unfocused blast which acts like a 'flashbang' and can blind both nearby allies and foes. These flash bangs can be small such as a blast from the hand or large as he expels the photons from his entire body. The other way Luke can expel the stored photons is in a laser like attack. This laser can be focused from any part of his body but most often comes from his hands or eyes as Luke finds it easier to focus the stored photons through these points.
■ Photon Bending | Manipulating the photons in the air, Luke is able to bend light to create simple visual illusions or hide either himself or another in plain sight. Luke can wrap photons around him completely concealing him from sight aside from a slight 'shimmer' while he moves. The larger the area he bends photons around, the more strain it takes on his body. Furthermore while he can encompass his body, hiding something as large as the Blackbird wouldn't be possible. Luke could however shield one side of the jet but the jet would still be visible from other angles.
■ Photon Constructs | By channeling photons into a construct, Luke is able to create hardlight. This allows for a variety of basic constructs such as blades, shields or bodily reinforcements. Luke can not create mechanisms out of hardlight nor can the hardlight take much stress often shattering after a single attack or blow.It should be noted that Luke can not perform this ability yet.
Limitations/Weaknesses:
■ Vision | While Luke's abilities take away light, Luke himself has no enhanced vision properties meaning he is rendered just as blind as his foes. While he's attempted to train himself to fight without sight, he's as of yet unsuccessful. Additionally because his eyes are sensative to his own Flashbangs, Luke is rarely seen without a pair of sunglasses on his head.
■ Injury | Luke's abilities afford him no extra protection meaning that all conventional forms of harm will affect him.
■ Over Exertion | Over storing of photons can cause Luke to become exhausted likewise over spending of stored photons can render Luke's abilities over heated causing him to rest and wait for his cells to be able to work again.
Applications:
■ 'Flashbangs' | As previously mentioned, Luke can create blinding bursts of light using the stored protons in his body. These bursts of light are then used to blind foes in order to create an opening for team mates or further attacks.
■ Strobe Light | By manipulating his photon absorption and expulsion, Luke is capable of emulating the effects of a strobe light. Like the Flashbangs this can disorientate and throw foes off balance.
■ 'Lasers' | Luke is able to focus his protons into laser like blasts which often are emitted from either his eyes or hands. Depending on the size and strength of the laser they can either incinerate objects or be used for intricate incisions.
■ Invisibility | By bending photons around him, Luke is able to conceal his presence to the naked eye. Those who see using infrared or use telepathy would still be able to detect his presence. Furthermore when Luke moves while cloaked there is a slight visible 'shimmer' as the photons adjust to reflect the proper image.
Skills:
■ Strategist | Even before Luke's mutation activated he had been a thinker but ever since he gained the ability to create deadly lasers Luke has had to think before acting. Especially in the Danger Room or engaged in training exercises against his friends, Luke has to be careful when and how he uses his abilities. Firing his lasers at the wrong time or using the wrong intensity in his flashbangs could result in serious harm to his friends.
| B I O G R A P H Y: |
Born at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Lucas Raymond Pilgrim grew up under the careful watch of his parents Russell and Stephanie Pilgrim. Working as a Structural Engineer, his father brought home quite the income, which ensured that his family had everything they needed. As Luke grew older, his mother was able to return to her career as a caterer, using her love of cooking and baking to bring joy to many varieties of special events. Living in Toronto ensured that Luke had everything he ever needed at his fingertips, the Canadian Metropolis provided all sorts of services, occasions, shopping and some of the finest schools in the province. However in his early years, Luke was plagued by health issues and spent most of his time inside SickKids Hospital. Born with a weak immune system, Luke's body seemed to pick up every bug he came in contact with and as a result, his parents kept him at home whenever they could to reduce his risk to exposure. Due to this, Luke was homeschooled for the early years of his life and finally introduced to the public system at the age of 12.
During puberty, Luke's X-Gene emerged as the lights dimmed before his eyes discharged during his first Sexual Education Class. The blast of laser was low enough not to appear visible to the naked eye, it was still hot enough to singe the hair of several classmates in front of him which caused their hair to catch fire setting off the school's sprinkler system and smoke alarms. The result of this development led to his parents playing the blame game with each other, accusing one another of creating a monster. Deciding to take a family holiday together, the trio drove out of the city and headed for their cottage. The vacation was going well until Luke decided to try and trigger his abilities, absorbing the last few rays of sunlight, Luke triggered his eyes again as he lit a campfire and attempted to roast a marshmallow. His parents became so afraid that Luke was eventually abandoned as his parents snuck out of the cottage during the night, leaving Luke to fend for himself. Despite abandoning their child, the damage was already done, guilt tearing the couple apart and Russell and Stephanie eventually divorced soon after.
Left in the middle of the Muskoka woods at the age of fourteen, Luke was forced to fend for himself, eventually finding his way into a small nearby town. Starving and with no money, the boy tried to steal a chocolate bar, only to be caught by the shop owner. The owner naturally called the local authorities after the boy refused to give the shopkeeper his parent's contact information. Picked up by the police, his Hyperhuman status was soon discovered by the OPP who were thankfully intercepted by the X-Men. Once Luke had been rescued, Robert Drake had Emma Frost track down Luke's parents, having the school take legal guardianship over for Luke before flying the young boy down to the mansion so his life could begin anew. Landing in the city of New York, Luke was put aboard a bus as he journeyed towards his new home. Finding himself awestruck by the mansion, Luke could scarcely believe his ears when he was informed that he was now a student and resident of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning.
It took Luke awhile to adjust to living with other mutnats, living with other kids his age was also a challenge which led to many sleepless nights as Luke learned the mischievous ways of practical jokes. Living now at the school for almost six years, Luke is considered one of the best students at the Institue, having seen many classmates come and go as they graduate. Though despite all the positivity in his life, Luke still struggles with classmates leaving thanks to the damage the abandonment of his parents left on that ten year old boy. Training hard with the X-Men in the Danger Room, Luke has learned to develop control over his abilities, honing his skills with them and adapting his abilities to a wide variety of applications. Now entering into a new year at Xavier's, Luke is training to one day be a field X-men to help other mutants like himself. Luke has a goal to one day being able to assist the X-Men in order to display his gratitude towards them after the way they were able to help him.
| M I S C. N O T E S: |
■ Proudly Canadian, having been born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
■ Luke oftens consumes sugary foods as he believes they help him think, however due to the crash sugar and caffeine often bring, Luke tends to never be too far from his next 'hit' in order to ward off the crash. The professors are currently trying to promote a healthier diet to the young X-Men.
■ Among his favourite sweets are Cherry Coke, Pineapple Crush, red licorice and banana marshmallows.
■ Luke has a preference for grungy music, although he also loves rock music with his favourite band being Thousand Foot Krutch. As a side note, Luke has a guilty pleasure for Taylor Swift.
■ Has trouble getting close to people, afraid they're just going to leave.
■ To a degree has difficulty with the opposite sex due to a fear of incinerating them if he were aroused. As such, Luke is relatively chaste.
■ Despite all of the above, Luke is outgoing and enjoys being sociable especially when it comes to sports. Luke enjoys football above all others though, second to that is naturally hockey.
■ His favourite teams are the Calgary Stampeders and the Calgary Flames, despite having never actually been to Alberta, let alone Calgary.
■ Hands down his favourite food is anything off a barbecue, whether a burger, pizza, steak or pork chop. As long as it has been cooked on a grill, he's going to enjoy it. For dessert however, he has a soft spot for pie, particularly Key Lime.
■ Not a big fan of video games as he claims they make his eyes hurt.
■ Despite his aspirations to be an X-Men, Luke is attracted to the idea of teaching and would love to one day work at Xavier.
Possibly the only student young than him, William is known for being overly optimistic and eager to each new situation. While Luke doesn't necessarily mind he doesn't want to get close to the new student just yet either.
Anderson, Nathaniel:
As an older student, Luke doesn't have much contact with Nate. Due to this he's not overly familiar with the older student beyond what he's seen of his abilities in the Danger Room. He's definitely jealous of the teen's psionic weapons, far more impressive than his own abilities.
Andrews, Allison:
In Allison, Luke finds a kindred soul as she's another mutant whose abilities force them to think instead of act. Although the two don't know each other well, Allison's abilities have caught Luke's attention, though not as much as the girl's cute smile has.
De La Rosa, Llavi:
One of the oldest students at the mansion, Luke and Llavi don't really have anything in common and the two have barely spoke due to Luke's poor attempts at making friends.
Green, Daniel:
There's something oddly familiar about Daniel that Luke can't quite put his finger on. No matter how hard he tries, he can't quite shake the feeling that he knows Daniel from somewhere in his past. Everytime he's around him, a strange sense of 'Deja Vu' plagues the back of Luke's head. Beyond that he's not really familiar with the other teen.
Grey, Darren:
When Darren first arrived at the mansion he was completely insufferable. Even though his attitude has taken a complete one eighty since then, Luke still hasn't gotten past his first impression of Darren and often goes out of his way to avoid the inflatable student.
Hollens, Hollie:
Being something of a fan, Luke has watched almost everything Hollie appeared in during her short lived career as an actress. Finding it easy to relate to her characters, Luke emulated those characters onto Hollie assuming the girl would exactly like them when she arrived at Xavier's. In truth she's something of stuck up but Luke can't help but find himself smitten with the older girl.
Irving, William:
If pressed, Luke would have to admit there's something unnerving about William Irving. He could spout off any number of reasons from the mask to the idea that his life force is slowly being drained away simply by being around William. But Luke tries his hardest not to avoid William knowing what its like to be abandoned by those around you. For this reason Luke considers William one of the few people to understand him that he can refer to as a friend.
LeBeau, Ryan:
Despite being a year older than Luke, Ryan and Luke have been classmates at the Institute longer than most and have developed from acquaintances to friends and into rivals. Despite often competing in the Danger Room, the two have managed to stay on friendly terms but both jump at the chance to one up the other. This leads to a whole lot of stupid shenanigans.
Keller, Heidi:
Luke finds Heidi electrifying... he also loves a bad pun every now and then. That said Heidi is much more approachable than Hollie and closer to Luke's age which makes the beautiful brunette quite appealing. To top it off, their mutations derive from the same spectrum with them being able to significantly benefit one another in combat. Luke is holding on to the hope that one day that chemistry will spill over into their personal lives.
<NAME WITH ASSOCIATED COLOUR>:
Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.
The Spitting image of his father, Ryan stands at 194 Centimeters, weighing roughly 70 kilograms. He has a athletic shape, dark hair and red eyes, just like his father. Rugged, yet handsome features, a white streak of hair running down his face, like his mother. His skin is as pale as it gets, and the sun seems to have no affect at changing his complexion. While he has similiar mannerisms as his father, they walk with the same posture. He lacks the swagger his senior dons, naturally taking up less space and overall blending in a lot better into a room.
He dresses modestly, much to the dismay of both of his parents, his mother wanting him to always look as good as possible, and his dad lovingly refers to him as a nerd. He dresses in jeans, T-shirts, collared shirts and a red leather jacket. He sometimes wears leather gloves or a wool coat and a scarf, should the weather force him to.
During Danger Room sessions he dons the regular black suit with the X-Shaped belt and a personalized leather jacket in black with red stripes as well as the X-insignia on the shoulders. Throwing knives on his wrists and a switchblade on his person at all times.
| A B I L I T I E S: |
Kinetic Energy Manipulation
■ Kinetic Energy Control |
Like his father, Ryan has the potential to manipulate all forms of kinetic energy, to activate the potential energy in objects or atoms to create violent explosions - to siphon the energy to increase his own physical powers, or to generate powerful shields fueling of the kinetic energy. However, like his father his powers have been suppressed as they are far too dangerous to control.
■ Forcefield generation |
Generates a shield of varying size - always in a circular shape. As a shield, as a bubble or anything in between. Can be used on allies and foes alike.
■ Kinetic Energy Absorbation |
The forcefield is powered by kinetic eneregy - someone hits, shoots or drops explosions on the shield, it will only become stronger.
■ Kinetic Energy Release |
Releasing the energy in a controlled blast.
Limitations/Weaknesses:
■ Other forms of energy |
Heat, Light, Lasers, you name it, it won't power the shield.
■ More Power - Harder To Maintain |
The more his shield gets hit, the stronger and more durable it gets, but the more concentration it takes to keep from reaching critical mass.
■ Critical Mass Explosion |
Once the shield is 'full' the energy will start overcharging, once it's too difficult for Ryan to maintain leading to a unstable kinetic energy-charge which will lead to a devastating explosion.
Skills
■ Photographic Memory |
While his mother could steal the physical, and mental properties of someone else, Ryan is able to memorize anything he understands. This is especially connected to his spine and therefor his muscle memory, allowing him to quite easily replicate a physical maneuver done by anyone else.
■ Acrobatics / Free-Running / Gymnastics |
His slender frame makes him naturally agile, but thanks to his mind and regular training, he would be able to match the best olympic athletes in terms of agility. While still ages worse than his father, his flexibility, dexterity and agility are all notable. He's also a natural pick-pocket. He can't work locks.
■ Martial Arts And Marksmanship |
Able to throw cards, or knives is family tradition - so is shooting geese with a shotgun. While he is far more skilled in the former than the latter, he is a man of many means. He has basic-training in Savato and ju-jitsu, but thanks to watching his father and several others, he has a basic understanding of most martial arts, while far from a master at any of them.
| B I O G R A P H Y: |
■ 1998: December 18th: Anne-Marie and Remy have a baby boy, they name him Ryan Martin Lebau, following their marriage four weeks after his birth.
■ 2000: Two years old, his mutation was evident, being born with black and red eyes like his father. Thought to have been a mental ability, as young Ryan was walking and talking at two.
■ 2002: Ryan's powers manifest for the first time, he ignites the potential energy in a toy car, blowing up the southern wing of the institute. Joshua Foley - Elixir, a X-man and Ryan's godfather, along with Charles Xavier uses their powers to put up physical as well as mental blockades in Ryan's brain, allowing him but a portion of his powers. They go back to being dormant following this incident.
■ 2004: Life was relatively normal for Ryan till 2004, when he was six he recalled his parents leaving home one day, him being sent to the institute 'to be safe', and soon found himself with his parents wrapped into a serious conflict. His father changed into a being nothing like the aloof, yet loving father he had come to know. It was at this time - the age of Apocalypse, that his powers manifested once again. Blocking a kinetic dagger thrown by his father, the shield absorbing the entire hit, overcharging it and a explosion erupted, putting Ryan in a coma for two weeks. Ryan wakes up to find out that his 'uncle' Joshua perished to save his father and the entire world from the First Mutant.
■ 2006: His powers were still not actively used very often, they were still unstable and he lacked control. His parents different, more distant from each other, him and the other X-men. Remy even left the team for a time following his time as Death. Taking Ryan with him back to his home of New Orleans, where the Cajun introduced his son to the Thieves guild that his father had reconciled with.
■ 2008: Ryan - soon to be eleven years old had now actively started using his powers, as well as his natural knack for learning to become an excellent thief, pick-pocket and liar. The heir to the thieves guild, they would call him, to take the place that had been meant for his father. But Ryan missed his childhood home, and pushing his father into reconciling with his mother. Thanks to time healing wounds, they would become a family again at the end of the year.
■ 2011: Twelve Years Old, Ryan joined the institute as a official student, Remy taking a position on the X-men team, and even joined the newly formed X-force lead by Alex Summers. Ryan begins actually training his gifts now, along with the training he got from his father and the Thieves guild, Ryan is already a impressive prospect for an X-man.
■ 2013: The aftermath of Jean Grey's latent powers activating shook the entire mutant community. the X-men were in pieces, countless were dead and his parents more bitter than before. The world had turned on their kind and all the hard work Xavier had tried to build up had been ruined.
■ 2014: Remy is convinced it was from heartache, not from old age. Charles Xavier passed, a loss - like losing a grandfather fell over Ryan, and the entire Institute.
■ 2016: One of the longest trained students at the institute, Ryan feels like he has found his groove in being the knowledgeable mutant - while still quite the troublemaker and not always the most responsible. He has a good heart, and all who meets him should see that. Taking the name Renegade to match his mother's and father's given names.
| M I S C. N O T E S: |
■ His father's Cajun accent and his mother's Southern Drawl, while being raised in New Orleans and New York has made his accent undistinguishable, not even the best dialect coaches could possibly figure out where his way of speaking comes from if he didn't tell them.
■ Sarcastic to a fault
■ Kind of a dick sometimes
■ Tries to be forward and quite the flirt, but is actually very insecure around the female sex, still being a virgin despite everyone else being convinced he's a sex-god.
■ Prone to picking fights
■ Super Prone to messing with his seniors, especially his father and the senior X-men.
■ All the textbook knowledge in the world, yet he keeps writing poorly on tests simply because he doesn't give a hoot.
■ Loves flying the X-Jet and it's one of the few activities that actually makes him focus - well, besides Danger Room session, or goofing off.
■ Deeply afraid he will never live up to his parents expectations, that he can never be as good of an X-man as people expect of him, which is why he acts out a lot.
■ A Legacy, he spent a lot of his childhood at the institute, getting to know a lot of the X-men, past and present. He's been an official student for seven years, but has spent over 15 in and around the institute with his parents.
Fuckin' Pilgrim. Good ol laser-brain. Always trying to one-up me, either in the Danger Room or in the halls. We've been sharing a room ever since he got here, we're da ones who have been here da longest. He's my best friend, and my worst enemy. Always trying to one-up me. We tend to get into trouble, but when we do get along and put our heads together, we usually make an impressive team.
Darren Grey:
I am really not one quick to anger, I've been in two fist fights in my whole life' and with Darren, it's not been even close to a fight. I'm a dick sometime, but Grey used to be straight up stupid. He got on everyone's nerves when he got here. We were having issues since the minute he got here, but the last drop came when he started talkin' shit about my parents. So I did what everyone should've done - I punched him in da face. Gambit made me scrub the X-Jet for two weeks. It was worth it. Following me decking him in da face and spewing vicious insults at him, he seems to have gotten his act together.
Allison Andrews:
Oh, Blondie. She's cute and all, and I've heard from some others that she has a crush on me, but I don't really know what to do about it. Girls are weird. I wish we had more time together.
William Irving:
Mutant-Vampire. I relate, but only because of Rogue. She too had to hide her powers her entire life. Make sure not to hurt someone, getting close to people is hard. He should stop hiding under dat mask, get some sun on his skin. Heh, maybe he'd sparkle.

| ALIAS(ES): |
Orbital
| SEX: |
Male
| AGE: |
17
| APPEARANCE: |
Stands at 6‘0, and has a lean fit body from a healthy regimen and diet.
| ABILITIES: |
Darren's skin is super durable, able to withstand up to armor piercing rounds. But most notably is though is Darren's body being able to expand with air. Which can turn him into a ball. At first he could only go about 6 feet around but has been able to reach 8 feet. While in the ball form his hands, feet, and head normally stick out but with training he can have them suck them into his orb of a body. Additionally he can move while in his inflated state, but his teachers are trying to help him improve his speed.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
Born and raised off the Gold Coast of Australia, Darren was a sun kissed surfer kid who had charm and good looks for days. He was popular at school, and seemingly could do no wrong in the eyes of his peers. His parents though were very protective of him, coddling him and seemingly letting him get away with a lot. As such Darren was fairly spoiled and naturally it led him to being a bully at school.
Karma though came back to bite Darren hard, as during school, his powers kicked in. During a school assembly, Darren's body began to inflate uncontrollably while sitting in the bleachers. Darren quickly became a massive (metaphoically and in some ways, literally) joke, he lost all his respect, and his parents quickly shunned him. Bobby Drake came out to recruit Darren, and at first Darren didn't want to be associated with ‘freaks' as he put it. However Bobby not to politely reminded him that because of his powers, he can't call anyone a ‘freak' anymore. Darren's parents quickly signed Darren over to the school and never spoke to him since.
At first Darren continued to be insufferable to the others. Until one day when Ryan LeBeau got fed up with Darren's crap, especially after Darren made some choice words about Ryan's parents. Basically knocking Darren the hell out with a single punch. The incident left the young Aussie needing serious perspective on his life. After talking to some of the teachers, and spending a day out in New York City to try and clear his head. Darren came back with a fresh new perspective on life. He still has people who still don’t like him, and Darren isn't really comfortable in his skin. But Darren has made serious efforts to improve his attitude and mind set.
| MISC. NOTES: |
- Still a big fan of surfing, Darren has wanted to teach others in the school about the art for quite some time. However his not sure how the others would take to him teaching them to surf on the Ellis Island shore. On top of that Darren usually skateboards, having a normal board and a long cruising board with him. His spearheaded an effort to build a small skatepark on campus grounds, but generally considers surfing his first and biggest passion.
- Darren’s musical tastes mainly hover in the alt. rock and hip hop scene. He has a pretty sizeable collection of music CDs from his thrift store runs. When pressed Darren will cite Less Than Jake, Imagine Dragons, Eric B and Rakim, and Kool Keith as his favorite artists.
- Most of the clothes Darren has and wears he usually gets from thrift stores. There is a group of about five or six thrift stores within an hour of the Mansion that he will frequent in a bi-weekly shopping trip. He even has a laptop computer he bought from a thrift store and worked on fixing and improving. Which he still uses and usually takes with him to the occasional classes.
- Darren is a big football fan, both Australian rules football, and football/soccer. However his been developing a love for basketball after seeing a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. One notable moment in Darren’s time at the school came during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Darren, cocky as he was, made a bet with a fellow student from Spain over who’s respective country’s team would win during the group stages. If Australia won, Darren would of have the Spaniard do all of his homework for a week. However because Spain won 3 - 0, Darren had the entire school play a game of soccer, with Darren as the soccer ball. Darren still shudders at the memory of that.
- Darren’s powers comes with its share of headaches, if he starts to doze off or just start daydreaming he’ll start to inflate. Having ruined more than a shirt or two from this, the X-Men have already made him a uniform to wear under his normal clothes and for training. Long sleeved down to the fingers, with slits down the front, back, and sides which open up as he inflates. Revealing darker material that gives comfortable room as he grows bigger. He also has a pair of yellow tinted goggles that go over the head covering piece that cover his eyes.
- My current beverage of choice is either Coke Zero for sober time, and Samuel Adams Cream Stout for drunky time.
The guy has an feeling of being a natural born leader to him I'll admit. I don't know him that much to be honest, but I do know his not exactly my biggest fan these days. I mean I can't blame him for it or anything. Still I feel like if I'm going to be here me and him need to get on the same page quick.
Ryan LeBeau:
My jaw still feels sore because of him. I mean I haven't spoken to him much at all since the whole incident. I do hate what I said though and while I apologized to his mom and dad for what I said I'm kind of scared to talk to him. Still he was the one who finally made me realize a lot. Made me realize how much of an asshole I was and just... I have a lot of respect for him now because of it. I just don't know how he feels about me.
Allison Andrews:
Allison is such a sweetheart man. She was one of the first to stay by me when I had to go through my hard times and I'll always love her for it. I mean not like in a romantic way, she really has more of a sibling feeling to her and that would just makes things weird. Still her powers are neat, and funny enough she even likes my powers. I mean if the chance comes up she can have them as far as I'm concerned! *Laughs*
William Irving:
Well with Will, I mean a lot of people are uncomfortable around him. He just... I mean his one of the guys I see while being kind of bummed out about my stupid powers. Then I look at him and... suddenly it gives me that moment of remembering how much worse it could be you know? The guy has it rough and I just feel bad for him. I've tried to be nice to him and I mean he hasn't really returned it. So I don't know what to do about him.
Hollie Hollens:
Well not a lot of her stuff aired in Australia, I mean it might of but I don't know, I don't watch much TV. Still she's pretty sexy, and I remember how once she mentioned how I remind her of this other actor guy from something or another that she did. I got curious and looked it up and yeah I can see it. Still that's pretty much where all the nice stuff ends with me and her. First off she makes fun of my powers constantly which is so frustrating. Then there is... I feel like I can see myself in her. No I mean not like that, but how I used to just have such a shitty view of things and that better than everyone attitude. She doesn't project it like I did, but its still there and everyone sees it. I mean I don't know how to talk to her because I don't want her to end up having to realize things the way I had too, or in an even worse way.
Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV:
Nathan just straight up hates me... I totally get it though. I used to really get onto him because I saw him as this perfect little momma's boy. Once everything changed I really tried to make amends with the guy. Apologizing, trying to be friendly with him, even buying him a pizza. He still won't get over what I did. So I just try to avoid it all now. Now he's like a nagging reminder of what an asshole I used to be. That said, I know offhandedly one of his biggest beefs with me is how I'm not happy with my mutant powers. Oh excuse me if inflating like a fucking balloon is TOTALLY the same as being able to make cool armor and weapons with your MIND!
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa:
Who? Oh yeah that guy... I mean I guess that kind of says what I know about him. Seems alright I guess, though we're not usually in the same classes and I've barely ever done any training with him. Still he is a lot like William Irving, his powers remind me how bad I could of had things instead of inflating like a fucking balloon. Actually speaking of, once while me and Will were in the gym and he was trying to roll me around using his air powers. Llavi left a glob of his black goo stuff on one of the walls and I got stuck on it. Took like 30 minutes to get unstuck. So that was a pain in the ass.
William Alexander:
At first I thought the guy was kind of annoying to be honest. Just that happiness all the time felt like it was fake or something. I mean his no Casanova or anything, but I have to admit I've grown on the guy quite a bit lately. He's good people to be around, plus I'll admit I think we make a solid duo. As stupid as my powers are, if I have to have them and deal with them. Having someone who can control air like Will is good. I mean he can use the air to move me around faster which lets me not have to exert energy which is nice. Plus once the teachers had Will throw a bunch of air down my gullet to see if I inflate faster which I do. When we do that it always gives me killer gas though.
Heidi Keller:
She never really says much to me and I don't really say a lot to her honestly. She seems alright but eh....
Daniel Green:
So... why are you asking me about these people in particular? Well with Daniel the first thing I think is how my stuff with him used to really be the worst when I was being a dick. Daniel was giving me shit for something, I can't remember what. Well I ended up using some pretty colorful language with him and his gay status. God I still kick myself for that. When I got my act together the first thing I did was apologize to him for it. I'm still amazed he forgave me for it. The two of us do share caring about the environment together. He's pretty hardcore about it though, but with his powers it makes sense. I mean really growing up I saw some nasty shit shore up onto the beach. I don't want to imagine my kids and their kids having to deal with worse.
Allison stands at 5 feet 8 inches and weighs 126 pounds. She has blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back, green eyes, and white skin. Her typical attire consists of girly clothing such as skirts, dresses, and blouses in various colors, though she loves the color yellow.
| ABILITIES: |
Strengths
Accelerated Probability: Allison can sense certain variables in a chosen situation and predict the outcomes and what choices one could make to reach the conclusion she wants. She is only able to choose one situation per use and see the various outcomes of that situation. For example, in a fight, she can see different options available to her in order to fight back or defend herself and others.
Precognition: Along the same lines, Allison is also able to see future events before they happen.
Danger Sense: Allison is able to briefly feel a "tingle" when there is danger imminent for her, such as an attack or some force against her she can't see.
Weaknesses
Psychic Attacks: Allison is susceptible to psychic attacks due to the nature of her powers. She is extremely prone to psychic attacks when in her trance-like state.
Trance: When seeing into the future and predicting probabilities, Allison enters a trance-like state where she cannot move or do anything while seeing the vision or the outcomes.
Mental Strain: When seeing into the future of predicting the probabilities of a situation, the longer she goes, the more strain it causes on her mind. She could, potentially, see events for a long time, but at the cost of mental strain. She can get headaches from continued use and could potentially become unconscious if using her ability for a long time.

| MISC. NOTES: |
Allison enjoys fashion and always tries to dress correctly and accordingly. Her favorite color is yellow and she enjoys wearing that color when she can.
Allison's parents still keep in touch, but are very worried for their daughter being in the school. They are worried that she could potentially become another Apocalypse or Phoenix in the future, though they would never say that to her.
Allison could potentially use her gifts at the same time, but at a dire cost of her mental strain. This means she can plot future events out, but it would be dangerous for her to do it for long.
Allison has only had one physical altercation before and that was the bully at school. Since then she has used her powers to avoid confrontation when necessary.
Allison was a cheerleader in high school and that gave her some respect, but her powers still made her an outcast, even if it wasn't to her face.
Allison has never had her first kiss.
Allison has a secret love of video games. She would never admit it.
Allison's favorite food is chocolate covered coffee beans. She has a big sweet tooth.
Allison doesn't know Lucas very well other than when they have been in classes before. She knows about his powers and is impressed by them.

Darren Grey:
Darren and Allison get along really well. She finds his powers unique and interesting. She knows he is a goofball, but she tolerates him.
William Irving:
Allison is a little uneasy about William. She doesn't dislike him, but she can't help but feel a little weirded out by him, and both being mutants, that's saying something. She does want to get to know him better.
Hollie Hollens:
Allison has seen Hollie on TV and was kind of excited to be in the school with her, but interacting with Hollie has proved to be irritable. She doesn't blame Hollie for how she is, but she can't help but get irked at her behavior.
Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV:
Allison gets along well with Nathan and she finds his powers fascinating, if only because they share a psychic mutant power together. She looks up to him.
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa:
Allison likes Llavi and she finds him quite attractive. She finds his powers a little odd, but not all together scary and can appreciate what he can do. He doesn't take kindly to Americans, it seems, but she'll keep trying with him. Plus he's cute. Wait, did she say that already?
William Alexander
Allison finds Will to be a young, fresh mind at the institute and knows about his abilities. Her protective instinct goes full force with him given how young he is compared to everyone else.
Heidi Keller
Allison likes Heidi. She was at the school before she joined, but she made the transition easier. Allison feels Heidi would be someone she could "girl talk" with.
Daniel Green
Allison loves Daniel. He is the kind of best friend she wants to have around at a new school. He's fun and his power is beautiful and useful. If only he were straight...
Penelope Boyle
Allison is uneasy about Penelope. She doesn't seem like a bad person, but if one were to judge by first impressions, Penelope kind of freaks Allison out. Her powers leave little to the imagination on what she can do to her body. She'd like to get to know her more, but she has a feeling it won't be easy.
Crimson Creed
Allison isn't quite sure what she feels about Sonny. On one hand, she wants to like her and help her, especially given her unique situation, but on the other, she feels like any help she'd offer would be turned down. If anything, Allison will keep an eye on her, for both their safety.
I'm starting to think that maybe they are right about me. That maybe I am a monster.
| BIRTHNAME: |
William Irving
| NICKNAME(S): |
N/A
| ALIAS(ES): |
Outsider
| SEX: |
Male
| AGE: |
18
| APPEARANCE: |
Stands at 5'9" and appears to have a tight, powerful, gymnast like physique when fully 'fed', though if he waits to long before 'eating' this can fade into a far more fragile, skeltal frame.
None of his fellow students can be quite sure what he looks like as he only ever goes out hooded and masked. His mask is a simple thing of brushed metal, crudely moulded into the shape of a skull. There's been a lot of exotic rumours about where he got it from, but the mundane truth is he bought it on ebay. His hood is attatched to the dark greatcoat that he wears.
| ABILITIES: |
Psionic vampirism William's mutation forces him to feed off the psionic energy of those around him. If he doesn't feed then he will gradually grow ill and die. Just being in close proximity to someone is enough for William to get a 'drip' effect that will keep him sustained, with no real lasting effects to the individual he is draining, other than an increase likliehood for negative moods.
However if William decides that he needs a faster, more effective way of feeding on anothers energy he merely needs to initiate skin-to-skin contact. It merely requires several seconds of uniterrupted tactile contact for William to drain a regular person empty, leaving nothing more than a shrivened husk in it's place, though William has vowed never to do such a thing. For this reason William always goes out with every inch of skin covered, so there is no risk of accidentally hurting others. Even his mask doesn't come off in public.
Slightly-Above peak human potential When fully fed on psionic energy he is preternaturally strong, fast, durable and agile. Of special note is his reflexes, as they are nearly instantaneous. However the longer he goes without feeding the less powerful he becomes, to the point that if he has gone several days without contact with another human then he will wither to the point of being as weak as a week-old kitten.
Emphatic Manipulation William has access to low level empathic manipualtion, enabling him to, with effort, affect the moods of those around him. By his very nature he causes a slight increase in negative emotions in all those around him, though with some eye-to-eye contact and concentration he can reverse these effects, bringing joy, happiness or good humours to others. Conversely he may wish to make his enemies fear him, or force them to hate each other, fighting amongst themselves. A being of sufficiently strong will can resist him however. Any use of emphatic manipulation weakens him considerably, requiring him to 'feed' far more often.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
Born to Ben and Virginia Irving in a small, church going town in middle-America. His mother dies due to complications with childbirth, a fact that William's father never forgave him for, treating him coldly for the rest of his life, though as a churchgoing, God-fearing man he never goes so far as to beat his son.
As William grows older he seeks solace from his family home in the church, where he enjoys the company of the charismatic, charitable reverend Elijah Freeman, and the reverends daughter, Sophie, a girl of William's age.
William and Sophie begin a romantic relationship, one they attempt to consummate after William has turned sixteen. However William's mutation makes itself known during his excitement, and he accidentally nearly kills Sophie. After phoning an ambulance he flees to his church, seeking both guidance and protection. An angry mob attempts to burn down the church to kill William. Ben attempts to stop them, as although he resents his son for his perceived role in killing Virgina, he doesn't want to lose him. Ben fails, being hospitalized in the process. William would have willfully died in the burning church if not for the intervention of the X-men, come to help a mutant in need.
William is taking to the mansion were he is convinced to join the school. Through correspondence he learns that Sophie has recovered, and her father was at her bedside during the mob burning of the church. Neither hold ill-will towards him, but note that it would be safer for him to remain among his 'own people'.
| MISC. NOTES: |
While William doesn't want to allow himself to grow close to others in fear of hurting another like he hurt Sophie, his powers force him to form connections to others just to stay alive. He can't allow himself to die as he believe that would be akin to suicide, and that is a sin in the eyes of God. That, and it's incredibly difficult to allow yourself to starve to death.
Though he typically has a non-violent disposition, part of his tuition at Xavier's has been in combat, as Bobby Drake think's he has the ability to become an excellent X-man. William prefers soft to hard martial arts.
Apparently under his mask William is badly burnt, though if that is true or not is anybody's guess.
Despite popular belief at the Mansion, he is not a goth. He isn't even entirely sure what a goth is.
Neither does he sparkle in the sun. Stop asking him if he sparkles.
Lucas, like William, knows what it's like to feel abandoned by those closest to you. An ironic shared experience to bond over, to be sure, but there it is. Lucas was one of the first students at Xavier's to welcome William, a fact that the masked teen is unlikely to forget.
Ryan Martin Lebeau
William's found Ryan to be a mixed experience. On the one hand he can be intelligent, determined and charming. On the other he can be just a whole bag of dicks to those around him for no real reason whatsoever. For the life of him William just can't figure out why someone who has so much going for him could want to act like such a tool.
Darren Grey
Darren Grey once held the title of being the most arrogant, entitled, aggravating young man in the mansion. He's come a long way since those early days though, a real turnaround for the books, and William respects the Aussie immensely for his dedication to self-improvement. However the masked teen can't quite forget how Darren used to act, regardless of how hard he tries.
Allison Andrews
The prettiest girl in school, or at least she is in William's eyes. On top of that she came to the school through her own choice, to help people. That level of compassion has become rare in today's cynical world. Unfortunately it is clear to see how uneasy he makes her feel, and how little she enjoys being anywhere near him. It's probably better that way though, for everyone involved.
Hollie Hollens
Hollie Hollens is stuck up, sarcastic and full of her own self importance. She might have many sterling redeeming qualities, but has never deigned to give William the time of day, so he's had no chance to observe them.
Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV
William hardly knows Nathaniel at all. He spends a lot of time with Holly, circles the masked teen stays clear from. He seems pleasant enough though. One sure fact is that, psionically speaking, Nathaniel is far more powerful than the regular 'joe', and his latent power seems to provide more succor than most.
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa
Another student William has had very little interaction with. Some think Llavi's powers are gross, and judge him accordingly. William scoffs at that small mindedness. Things could be much worse than having 'gross powers'. William has seen the cold shoulder Llavi receives at school, and has decided to attempt to reach out more to the foreign boy, much like what Lucas once did for him.
William Alexander
William has grown quite fond of his younger namesake. That may come as a surprise to those who can't countenance the morose, brooding, psionic vampire being able to stomach the exuberantly cheerful aerokinetic, but it's Will's cheerfulness that the older teen finds so endearing. Notably he seems to be one of the few people who's mood isn't affected by being in William's presence. William has grown quite protective of the younger boy.
Heidi Keller
If 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', does that mean for the crush of one of your friend is also your friend? Probably not, but the masked teen tries to treat her less coldly than he does others for Lucas's sake. He doesn't know Heidi well, but Lucas holds her in high esteem, and that's coloured William's opinion of her.
Daniel Aiden Green
Most people at school are uncomfortable around William. William's uncomfortable around Daniel. He constantly feels like he must walk upon eggshells around the red head, in fear of being on the wrong end of some moralising lecture. Plus, he smells funny, and odd sweetness hanging around the air whenever Daniel is nearby. William is told that's the price of being a vegan. That, and he can be uncomfortably forthright about his desire to lay with Colossus.
| ABILITIES: | Crystal Formation Hollie has the ability to form a translucent white crystal structures, very similar in appearance to Quartz. This ability also includes the potential for her to coat herself entirely of this crystal for added resistance to damage, pack a stronger punch, and offer a unique interaction involving energy absorption. Energy Absorption While in her crystal form, and only in her crystal form, her touch can draw energy from various sources. Electricity provides the greatest amount of energy but absorbing energy from another being can yield energy. This gives Hollie a sort of Vampiric touch and allows her to drain energy from her opponents at relatively a slow rate. Another method of energy absorption can come from a sort of energy "rebate" when Hollie receives kinetic strikes (punches, bullets, etc.). Even though she may benefit from being on the receiving end of an attack, her crystal form cannot take a lot of abuse and may crack and break causing real injury to Hollie's actual form. Extra energy is needed to sustain the her crystal constructs. Weaknesses Outside of her crystal form, Hollie is vulnerable. It takes her awhile to build up enough energy to use her extra abilities, before that she is just armored. Her crystal form can be damaged and eventually destroyed. | BIOGRAPHY: |
Ever since her birth she had always been destined for stardom, her mother would make sure of that. Obviously there was a reason for that. Hollie's mother was, to quote Hollie: "an old-washed up Hollywood star from the previous century". That woman thought being a star was everything and she might have meant well, but that woman forced Hollie through all the hoops involved in becoming a childhood star. Harshly controlled diets, regular acting lessons that took precedence over actual, and so on. Needless to say, it wasn't the kindest up bringing. Her father wasn't really around anymore for an unknown reason at the time. Hollie would later discover that her mother filed for divorce and managed to keep Hollie, but that was kept hush-hush for the longest time.
Anyway, Hollie eventually did become a childhood star, featured in many different TV shows and a few movies. Hollie's mother could not be more delighted but Hollie, she didn't really like it, but God forbid if she decided to quit. The "two of the were too far to quit", according to Hollie's mother. So with reluctance, Hollie continued her acting career well into her mid-teens. She was actually very promising in her trade and many predicted her to "become the next best thing". Well it was around this time that she started noticing her body behavior oddly. No, not puberty, but rather her touch was either "too strong" or "too weak" when trying to do different things. She kept quiet about it but eventually her oddity manifested in her crashing through the set with a jump. That's when Hollie first discovered her label. Mutant.
Well as it turns out, Hollywood doesn't like Mutants all that much, so she was blacklisted. Nobody wanted a Mutant in their movie, so that was that. Unfortunately, Hollie did not know how to anything other than act at this point, thanks to Mother. Speaking of which, Hollie's mother kind of ended up disowning her daughter because of that. It wasn't so much the mutant thing, it was more due to not being able to be the shining star that she wanted. That's when Hollie's father came back. He had heard the news and came to rescue his daughter. Surprisingly, Hollie's mother put up little fight. Hollie's wasn't intolerant of his daughter's kind but he didn't know how to deal with it. So he sent her to Xavier, because who else do you send your mutant kid to? Hollie has been there for five years now.
| MISC. NOTES: |
Admires Emma Frost due to similar personalities and powers.
Chances are, you've probably seen Hollie on TV at some point in your life. She was pretty famous.
Pretty stuck-up, but that's due to her mother. Really. She can blame her if she wants.
That said, one's persistence is flattering. Gushy romance cliches go a long way.
Likes her father waaayy more than her mother but he is awkward and clumsy. He doesn't really know how to handle a mutant daughter.
Presently conflicted on what she wants to do with her life. Joining the X-Men is an idea but one of many.
Hollie approves of Allison and actually enjoys her company, citing her as "good company". However, the two can only stand each other for so long. Apparently, Allison takes conflict with Hollie's demeanor, which is very much to the ex-star's annoyance. The two are roommates so getting along is crucial so Hollie tries to at least be polite.
William Irving:
What can you say to about a weirdo who hides behind a mask and a hood... Hollie is immediately put off by the man and will just avoid him at all costs. She doesn't hate him, but clearly, she doesn't like him either.
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa:
Hollie does not like Llavi. First off, his power is disgusting. The black ichor that the man secrets pales in comparison to Hollie's shiny crystals. Then there is whole thing about "TV Gringos"... Don't even get her started on that.
Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV:
Hollie's shining star in her life. He is charming, handsome, and has a very admirable character. She is head-over-heels for the man, especially now since the man is all to herself! He is someone to confide in and she trust him greatly. She is even willing to go out of her way for him and has been noted by others to be more approachable and friendly to others while in his company.
William Alexander:
Hollie finds a lot of William's qualities to be endearing. He seems genuine in being friends with anyone and even Hollie struggles to the negatives about the boy. He could probably clean himself up better or something. Overall, Hollie returns the kid's friendliness the best she can.
Lucas Raymond Pilgrim:
Hollie generally treats Lucas with a degree of positivity. Their relationship got off to a rocky start as the man was simply overbearing at first. He has calmed now, likely due in part to Hollie's new relationship status... Anyway, the two of them get along but Hollie keeps him at arm's length as she really isn't interested in progressing their relationship.
Ryan Martin Lebeau:
As really the only other person in the house who can laugh at the expense of others, Hollie finds the guy likable. He is usually on point with his humor and usually can get a good laugh from Hollie. That said, however, the two of them are quite abrasive and they have gotten in spats before.
Darren Grey:
Hollie finds Darren to be "okay". There isn't too much between the two of them outside of Hollie's appreciation for the "hot surfer guy with the accent". In fact, Darren is very reminiscent of a character in one of Hollie's shows, who was Hollie's older brother. The actor was nice. Darren seems the same way and Hollie likes that. Unfortunately, the man's "balloon" power is a little too easy to ridicule.
Daniel Aiden Green:
Daniel reeks of Hollie's previous life in California, which is a good thing. Vegan, eccentric, and a big Beyonce fan, the man just reminds Hollie of home so much that she can't help but think positive around him. The best part is that he usually keeps to himself so normally he isn't a bother and when Hollie wants to hang out with him, she usually can as he is friendly enough.
Heidi Anneliese Keller:
Typically, Hollie and other girls don't get along well enough to be friends. Heidi is no exception as the girl tends to be critical of Hollie's attitude and that never sits well with Hollie. So, the two try to remain professional, at least. Hollie finds some common ground with Heidi here and there, but the two are ultimately uninterested in each other past a certain point.
Undecided, for now he prefers to simply go by his last name.
| SEX: |
Male
| AGE: |
19
| APPEARANCE: |
Nathaniel is a handsome young lad, rather tall and with broad shoulders and a generally muscular build. He stands at about 6’4”(195 cm), and weighs in at roughly 215 lbs(97 kg) and takes physical fitness andl health very seriously, and it shows. Electric blue eyes and soft blond hair that he takes the utmost care of.
His clothing styles, for the most part, prefers comfort over functionality, and he can most often be found wearing shorts and baggy t-shirts, even in the winter months, which he attributes to his heritage and origins in the northern European country of Sweden, despite having not been there in over a decade.
| ABILITIES: |
Psionic Armory
Nathan is able to create tangible weapons with his mind. The most common uses of this power are psionic blades and a psionic bow and seemingly endless quiver. His weapons manifest in a blue physical form. He favors a rapier in each hand, though he has shown that he is able to make a shield as well, though its durability is questionable. He is unsure of his upper limits and has forever favored this selection from his armory, as he fondly refers to it. In the future, it may expand to include other weapons.
Limitations and weaknesses
Concentration: Especially noteworthy as far as his bow goes, Nate is not able to keep the weapons useable without a strong degree of concentration, which can be shattered at keypoints in fights. He is much more competent and confident with his blades, but often shuts out the rest of his team during Danger Room scenarios to make sure he can maintain his weapons.
Length of Use: Though he has gotten much better at it over time, and will likely only improve, Nathan is exhausted rather quickly from the strain of creating and maintaining his weapons. He can push past his limitations, but it leads to him collapsing almost instantly upon dismissing his blades or bow. He prefers to stay in melee range because the blades are much less drawing on him.
Squishy: Nathan is simply that. He doesn’t have superhuman durability and isn’t capable of surviving more than a few well placed blows, despite doing his best to reach the pinnacle of natural durability. It simply doesn’t stand up to some of the things he’ll have to face.
Effectiveness: Against stronger telepaths than he, Nathan’s weapons are far less effective, unable to pierce powerful mental defenses. In time, if he hones his own mental strengths, this may change, but for now he is too focused on learning to wield his weapons to the best of his ability.
Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Mind Manipulation While it’s very latent now, Nathan has shown brief bursts of telepathy and telekinesis, though none of it is nearly as well trained and honed as his armory is, due to him simply not wanting to use the power, perhaps out of fear.
Limitations and Weaknesses
Unrestrained: His telepathy and telekinesis have lashed out in the past against his will, leading to him reading unsuspecting minds and moving objects without meaning to. In his childhood, he would almost always get his way due to changing things in his parents’ mind, though unintentionally. Now aware of what happened, Nathan is disgusted by these powers and blatantly refuses to currently train them.
Untrained: He is still liable to lashing out and often accidentally reads his peers’s minds. It frustrates him to no end and is one of his major shames.
Unwilling: He doesn’t want to have these powers, and wishes greatly that he could simply have his armory and be on his way. Unfortunately he lost--or won, depending on who you ask--the mutation lottery, and got the set.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
1997: He is born in Sweden to a British man and his Swedish wife on January 1st. His powers don’t manifest for some years, and he lives a mostly normal life.
2000: Though he doesn’t realize it until later, his telepathy and mind manipulating powers manifest as early as here, convincing his parents to spoil him more than a little.
2004: Begins to attend a boarding school and takes fencing classes
2006: His psionic armory kicks in at a junior fencing competition, and he is expelled from the boarding school. Confused, his parents send him to Xavier’s School, where he has been ever since. He tries to speak to his parents as often as possible, though they show little interest in him in return. His parents send him a monthly allowance.
2009: Begins to slowly cut off contact with his parents, having less and less interest in them. They continue to send the checks, and for a almost a year he doesn’t cash them. Around this time, he gives a brief attempt at learning to control his telepathy.
2010: He has a realization that he doesn’t need his parents, and that if they don’t want him, he doesn’t want them. He begins to return the checks, instead earning money doing odd jobs around the city and for the staff. He expresses interest in becoming an X-Man, even the leader of the group, and redoubles his efforts in the Danger Room and learning. Around this time, he requests private lessons with Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde due to her training in Japan.
2012: The Dark Phoenix incident happens, causing him to again shy away from his Telepathy powers, wondering if something similar could happen to him.
2013: He begins to grow a crush on Kitty Pryde.
2014: Professor Xavier passes away and it hits Nathan harder than he likes to admit. He requests, and--due to his age--is granted, an extended leave from the school. During this time he spends money he’d saved up and explores the large country, exercising his powers to save people in need. He keeps in contact with few people from the school at this time, namely Nightcrawler and Kitty to the best of his ability, though he’s very understand that they may be busier than he.
2015: He returns to Xavier’s School in February and goes back to his regular schooling and training. When people ask why he even came back, he cites a loss of money with a smile. In reality, he lost control of his powers and nearly killed a criminal that he was stopping somewhere near the American-Canadian border, which caused him to realize he needed more practice.
2016: Nathaniel continues his school and training, doing his best to get control and skill to a level where he can join the X-Men or perhaps be given a team all his own. He is looked up to by a lot of the younger students due to his relatively calm head and seniority.
| MISC. NOTES: |
He has a huge crush on Kitty Pryde. Like he’s seriously infatuated with her.
He eats at least one strawberry with every meal
He tries to eat healthily, and tends to only drink water and a few select juices.
His favorite color is green and it slightly annoys him that his powers manifest in a blue shade
A natural born leader, he always tries to take charge whenever possible and aspires to eventually become the leader of the X-Men
Nathaniel noticed Will’s lack of friends almost instantly and sort of took the younger lad under his wing. He helps Will out whenever possible, keeps some of the meaner kids in the school off of his back, and considers himself somewhat of a mentor the younger kid, encouraging Will to come to him whenever he needs help with schoolwork or training. He uses up some of his limited free time to help William work out how social situations work.
Hollie Hollens:
Hollie recently became Nathan’s favorite person at the school, with the only one in close contention being Kitty. He’s found a gorgeous girl who actually loves him(or at least it seems that way, he’s still not too sure how this works…). Hollie brings out the best in him, and he in her. They’re almost inseparable, to the point of sharing a room, and are extremely close, with few secrets between the two. He truly trusts Hollie and has confided many things in her. He’s not the best at the whole ‘dating’ thing, but is doing his best to be a boyfriend she can be proud of.
Allison Andrews:
Nathan appreciates Allison’s company and that their powers are similar in nature. Though he has Hollie, he sometimes finds himself going to Allison with frustrations about his telepathy and other mind-related powers. Nathan sometimes finds himself interested in her pre-cog powers, interested in how his own life will go, but ultimately isn’t brave enough to ask, deciding that he’d rather keep it a surprise.
Darren Grey:
Nathan is not a fan of Darren, considering him to be a spoiled brat who has had everything handed to him. While Nathan is proud of his mutant genes, he feels Darren is the opposite, and it annoys him to no end. If Ryan hadn’t punched out Darren, Nathan would have done it.
Ryan LeBeau:
Nathan doesn’t appreciate Ryan’s sarcasm levels, but does appreciate his powers and skills in the Danger Room. Nathan tries, and for the most part succeeds, to keep it civil with Ryan, though there is one major issues between the two: Nathan can’t understand a damn thing the guy says… The accents are too much for Nathan, given that English is a second language for him. He often has to look to Hollie or whoever is near and either attempt to probe their mind or flat out ask for a translation. Nathan often says that trying to figure out what Ryan is saying is quickly becoming his main use of his Telepathy.
William Irving:
Nathan has made a solid attempt at trying to befriend Irving, but found that being around the younger man irked him and caused him to lose his smile. As a result, Nathan considers him, at best, an acquaintance. He would never fully shun someone with as many problems as William, and makes himself available to the other mutant if he requires any help, but for the most part he tends to avoid the Outsider.
Lucas Pilgrim:
Nathan likes Lucas’s powers. A lot. He thinks the flashbangs and explosions are eyecandy and pretty too look at. He likes that he trains hard in the Danger Room, and sees a kindred spirit in how Lucas feels indebted to the X-Men. In many ways, Nathan feels the same. In a year or two, Nathan believes he and Lucas will be much closer, and will both be members of the X-Men, or(as Nathan would prefer), an X-Team led by Nathaniel himself.
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa:
Nathan frankly stands no chance when it comes to pronouncing this character’s name, and instead refers to him with simple pleasantries, including, but not limited to: dude, bro, and man. Eventually, he’d like to learn to pronounce the first name, but for now doesn’t see it as a necessity. He finds his powers to be strange and different, yet interesting; in another world they might even be friends. Unfortunately, in this one, Hollie exists and is a thing with Nathan. As a result, Nathan’s arm around her gets slightly tighter whenever they’re around Llavi, simply because he knows she doesn’t like him, much at all. Nathan also doesn’t appreciate that Llavi can be rather disrespectful to his ‘TV Gringo’ girlfriend. Such is life.
<NAME WITH ASSOCIATED COLOUR>:
Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.
<NAME WITH ASSOCIATED COLOUR>:
Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.
Llavi stands solid at a 6'0". He's developed smooth muscle from a mix of genetics, boxing, running away and now, a good regiment of workout from being in a stable environment. His eyes hold a piercing amber to them, courtesy of his mother. His years of salsa keep him flexible.
It may be compensation for the nature of his powers, but hygiene is important to Llavi and as such he takes step to make sure he's properly cleaned and groomed. He's got a fondness for light scruff but can be seen with a clean face just as often.
His style leans toward simple and crisp. Various clean pressed henley shirts with sleeves pushed up or a fitted v-neck shirt (plain colored or coordinated). He doesn't wear black often, as homage to his religion and sticks mainly to white or pastel colors. He tends to prefer fitted and flexible pants over shorts.
His deep brown bead necklace stands out in comparison to his clothes and is ever present on his body. Along with a matching bracelet, inscribed with a prayer.
| ABILITIES: |
Oya’s Blood
Biomass Secretion: Llavi is able to produce a black, ichor-like substance from his body. This ichor substance, or “Oya’s Blood”, is stored in his body and he is able to use it whenever he chooses. The ichor has a variety of uses that Llavi is still discovering. (Pictures to come soon)
The Ichor typically releases itself from concentrated pore areas on both of his hands and his feet. At its base and raw form, the ichor sticks to most substances, blotting out light, sight and etc. Though it can flow rapidly from his “Hot Spots” (a little tinge of dark humor), he can’t seem to propel the ichor and thus can’t shoot it from his hands with any type of velocity.
The ichor, when not in his presence evaporates into a fine dust powder after a short period of time.
(Seeming) Low Level Sentience: The ichor responds to Llavi’s behest and can coat his arms and legs, spreading to the rest of his body in turn. The process can take a few seconds, so he needs to be able to prepare. Each “Hot Spot” releases the ichor and it flows the length of his limbs, covering his body.
Durable Nature: The ichor can also instantly harden and solidify at Llavi’s behest, becoming a durable exoskeleton. Surprisingly, the ichor still responds and is supple to Llavi’s movements. With no concentration, the ichor is about as durable as a thick leather, having some stopping power against sharp objects and a good amount of dampening against regular melee attacks. By applying a second layer, it is as about as durable as wood. A third layer and a good bit of concentration and a small amount of time allows Llavi to mimic the durability of concrete. The ichor is a bit heavier at this point on his body, but it doesn’t tire Llavi out too much. (Pictures to come soon)
Flame Resistant: The ichor is resistant to flame to an extent. At this point, it still transfers heat, so prolonged exposure to a heat source can still harm Llavi. Electricity is dampened for a few seconds, but it can disrupt the ichor after a while, completely negating it.
Blood Spread: With a little experimenting, Llavi has found that the ichor is capable of converting other materials. Most distinctly, damp dirt and mud. Leaving a jar of wet dirt and his ichor for 3 days produced an entire jar full of the ichor.
Drawbacks:
At this point, Llavi can only produce so much of the ichor in a day. With too much strain and exertion, he has noticed traces of his own blood in the ichor he produces, quickly followed by a sensation of being lightheaded.
The conversion of other materials into the ichor begins and ends with sand so far. And even then, Llavi had to constantly divert his attention to the jar when conducting his small experiment.
Llavi has noted that his skin can be more sensitive and raw after an extended amount of time encased in the ichor.
Applications
Durable Exoskeleton: The primary use of Llavi’s powers, he coats the entirety of his body in the ichor. In this state, Llavi even feels that he has a slight heightened awareness of his surroundings. What he gives up in speed, he more than makes up in durability and awareness of the battlefield.
(Somewhat) Peak Human Conditioning At one layer of Ichor, Llavi's physical attributes are slightly enhanced. There's an energizing effect to his Ichor that is most prevalent/balanced with a primary layer of the stuff. Though, as stated earlier, his durability isn't of particular or special note in this form, his other attributes all seem to get a slight boost.
Ick Ball: By slightly solidifying an exterior shell, Llavi can chuck small balls of the ichor at opponents, halting their progress obscuring their vision. With a little effort he can create bigger balls of the stuff, but is careful about using that tactic.
Fly On The Wall: Llavi is able to stick to most walls and even ceiling if he coats his hands and feet.
Rough Exterior: With a bit of concentration, Llavi is able to roughen his exoskeleton and produce ridges and more texture to his exoskeleton. With more effort he can even produce small spikes. These aren’t projectiles, but are attached to his ichor
Skills
Analyst: Growing up poor in an outskirt village of Colombia, Llavi learned early on to to be aware of his surroundings. Traquetos (drug lords) often tried to recruit him (as they did most poor boys in Colombia), and shady characters were common in his area of the world. Also growing up without a father, Llavi took steps to attempt to be the man of the house. Add to that a couple of con-artists for uncles and you get a perceptive young lad. He can pick a drug mule out of a line-up faster than a trained dog, he can tell you which of the girls at the bar are looking for clients and even which are just looking for drinks (much to the likings of his uncles).
Boxing: Defending oneself (and by extension their machismo) was vital growing up. Llavi was thrown into the boxing ring by the age of 5. He picked up on it quickly, in part because of a desperation that a stronger body would fight the Cough easier. Even before his powers, Llavi was noted as surprisingly good at perceiving attacks and absorbing blows. His particular style rests more in a bastardization of Ali's style: tiring them out via evasion.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
It all started with a cough.
That damned rain mixed with a childish rebellion, giving birth this damned cough. Mami had told him “Llavito, you put your jacket on if you’re going outside! Escuchame!” He’d had to turn around and mumble his acknowledgement. But of course, the little jacket stayed on the hook.
The sly tickle, switched to an itch while wriggling its way up his throat. His pitiful attempt at clearing his throat only gave the demon more to work with.
That damned cough. It burst from him and built on itself, bringing more and more. Reaching for a tissue, he jerked back in surprise when he saw the fleck of black specks fresh on the tissue. “Mami?” His panicked cry left him on instinct as he looked around for an answer.
'It's the black cough,' Abuela chortled, her English crisp, her eyes fresh. The paper-thin hem of her dress brushed his leg as she swept over Llavi. She hummed a hymn of their Yoruba religion as the chilled yet damp touch of her spindled fingers brushed over his face, his eyes, reaching down his throat. Enclosing around it, feeling the pulse. The urge.
‘Oh no!’
He hacked again, bringing his entire body forward. His hands came to meet his mouth instinctively and he looked with horror as more of that black ‘whateveritwas’ coated his hands. Llavi’s breath quickened and he tried to get up, only to be met by those spindly fingers once more.
“No no no no, Llavicito,” Abuela tuttered “You don’t have to afraid, little one.” It dawned on Llavi, as his abuela busied herself, making tea for them, that that’s what panicked him the most of this situation. Her English. Abuela, who stuck to to their home tongue, because she was proud of it. The only English she used was for The Real Housewives, and even then it was thick and slurred, deliberately lazy. Not this crisp, English he heard.
“It is the black cough,” she repeats, a tint of her native accent coming in while she serves them both. Llavi sipped his tea. “The black cough which brings about the black blood. This is just the first step in changing. Oya has chosen you, my love.” The lack of worry in her voice soothed Llavi.
“But, what is it? What will it do?”
“It will show you whether you were meant to live as a man or be remembered as a child forever.” It wasn’t much of an answer at all to Llavi, but he couldn’t bring himself to question her. He couldn’t bring himself to do much of anything except sit there. Even that seemed to become more tiresome as the seconds slipped by. His abuela took his cup from his hands just as he was beginning to drop it, setting it gently on the coffee table. Her arms swooped under him just as his balance swayed him off the chair, the allure of a sudden fatigue becoming too great.
“It’s okay Llavicito, you will be fine,” she cooed to him, her accent getting stronger. She laid him on the couch as he drifted to a heavy and foggy sleep.
---
The following day, Llavi awoke feeling fine and the mind of the 7 year old quickly forgot the previous days fear.
Until a few months down the line when “the” cough came back. He hadn’t even been out in the rain this time! It had spawned from nowhere. More black speckled tissues and this time over the course of three days. His mother lectured him, unaware of his silent terror, until they went away.
And came back, seven months later. This time for a week.
Three months. Two weeks.
Four months. Another two.
Five months. Three.
For a while, 12 months to be specific, “the” cough stopped and a feeling of relief falsely settled on him. His mother stayed on almost a constant stream of work, working to support four. That’s when his younger sister stepped in. When the Cough had bedridden him, Melina -two years his junior- would step in, nursing him back to health. Those days held a bittersweet nostalgia to them as Llavi and Melina spent countless hours reading together, her playing “Abuelita” (Little Grandma) and lecturing him in an over exaggerated Spanish. They would laugh, even in the midst of his hacking coughs. Little Melina, tittering about in shoes too big and a dress that could fit three of her.
The eve of his 10th birthday brought about the worst fit he had experienced to that point. His mother, concerned attempted to take him to the hospital, until his abuela stepped in.
“He will be fine,” she said simply “It is all a part of his changing”. As she placed a hand on him, the cough seemed to alleviate and he began to feel relief.
However, his relief was short lived as a day later, an unease in his stomach grew to sharp pangs and cramps that doubled the boy over. With his mother away at work, it was only his abuela who could help. The pain grew to induce vomiting. “It is finally time,” though there was a lightness in her voice, there was a serious look in her eye. “We must hurry.”
Llavi didn’t know it, but his appendix had begun to rupture. His groans of pain were constant as he remained doubled over. Melina began to well up as she panicked to help. It had never been this bad, never hurt him this much. He cried out in pain, only to feel a wet warmth flowing down his face. It wasn’t tears, it felt thick and viscous like honey. Llavi reached up to pull back hand stained with a black goo.
“Melina? ABUELA!”
His words were followed by a retch. The ichor laced with bits of blood swam before his blurring vision.
“Abeula?...” His question trailed off as he finally collapsed.
--- That day, Llavi’s life was teetered to the edge and reeled back only when it was almost too late. His abuela was able to save him, but that was the first day his mutant powers activated. One in a seeming line of family members, Llavi’s appendix that day was replaced by a new organ that had been forming inside his body.
Termed “Oya’s Heart”, this organ became the source of Llavi’s mutant ability. Around the age of 9 to 11, certain members from Llavi’s family exhibit these symptoms, early indications of the change to come. His mother, though aware of the family’s lineage, paid little mind to the stories growing up. Her skepticism put on Llavi on edge, while his abuela put him at ease. She assured him that the Change was nothing to be afraid of. She told him that this Change might even lead him to leave the small town they called home in South America. It was enough to keep Llavi calm and still allow him to lead a somewhat normal life.
When his abuela passed soon after his 12th birthday, his mother took that as their final sign to leave the place they had called home for so many years. A better life could be achieved in the States, and with her mother gone, there was no one holding them to the town.
Llavi wasn’t a fan of the change, fearing leaving the abuela he had grown so close to, even if she was dead. Abuela had promised that he could leave this place some day, but he didn’t want it to be the so soon. But of course, it was a lost battle from the beginning and Llavi found himself being hauled to the United States. ---
Their transition was rocky at best and the stress of a new place didn’t make things easier in any way. Since his “Change” things had been quiet, but it shifted soon after they moved. Llavi would wake up with sheets covered in splotches of the ichor, his hands filthy with it. But it kept happening. During the time, he began to notice a small mole on the back of his hand. Until it wasn’t a mole. It was a black dot, spreading on his hand. The darkest of bruises, it seemed to be. An odd birthmark with a rapid progression. Anything but the Black Blood. But Llavi couldn’t fool himself for long. Finally, one morning he awoke to find his entire arm coated with the hardened ichor. It felt like a hardened cast, supple to his movements. He panicked, trying to break it against any hard surface he could, but to no avail. His mother came in at that point, readying herself for her nurse shift. His panic seemed to cause the more of the ichor to produce and slicked itself over his arm more, thickening. His panic rose further until he felt a sharp prick. A needle of sedation from his mother.
Sedating him caused the ichor to break away and down into a dust as he slept, his mother told him when he woke to his normal arm
He worked to keep it from his sister, who he knew would worry. The States had opened their eyes to the existence of the mutant gene. And though they had never spoken about it, Llavi and Melina both knew what Llavi was now. She noted the spot on his hand and he was forced to come clean.
Though he and his sister still shared a close bond, Llavi still felt a small disconnect. She worried worse than his mother at times, and wanted their safety. But Llavi wanted to know more about him, whatever the Black Blood was, and whether it could be removed. Any research he did yielded no results. Fevered nights began to await him whenever he slept and he could feel the onset that usually came with the Cough.
For the next three years, the Cough came more frequently. The retching, hacking fits and extreme fatigue always left with no lasting effects, but each time it felt just slightly worse. His sister was always there, aiding him however she could.
At the age of 17, Llavi had decided it was enough. He wouldn’t accept a life of this. There was a mutant rally a few blocks from where he and Melina went to school in New York. He felt someone there might be able to help him, give him answers or at least a direction. His mother expressly forbade him, giving birth to one of their most heated arguments. Melina sided with their mother! It was this act that caused Llavi to falter. They wanted nothing more than his safety and the climate towards mutants had been anything but safe. They could work through it and find answers together, but the mutant rally posed to big a threat.
That night, after his mother left for work and Melina had gone to bed, Llavi couldn’t get the rally off of his mind and as he poked and prodded at the black marks on his hands, he knew what he had to do.
Near the end of the rally was when things turned violent, and Llavi was forced to hide for his safety. One of the more violent rally’s, the police were forced to section of the block and Llavi wasn’t able to make it home until the wee hours of the morning, where he knew he would await a hefty sentencing from his mother. What he was faced with was his mother weeping. His sister had gone to look for him that night and hadn’t come back. His mother saw the reports on the news and feared the worst. They found her later that day at one of the local hospitals, clinging to life in the midst of a mutant attack gone wrong. She was stable but in critical condition. There, in the hospital was where his life changed.
“You get the hell out of my house, and take your cursed life with you.”
The words splashed across Llavi with a surprised chill. He looked at his mother again, confused.
“You heard me,” the words were strained and he could see the tears as she looked at her daughter's vitals. “I don’t want to see you when I get there.”
There was a flare in Llavi when the shock was replaced with a sudden rage. “See you in hell then,” he spat as stalked out.
The 9 months he spent on his own showed Llavi some of the darker parts of the world, it wasn’t until he crossed paths with Warren Worthington that Llavi even had close interaction with another mutant. He originally rejected him, wary of this organization he'd heard such bad things about. He didn't trust this blonde haired, blue eyed man. His words smoother than most powerful traqueto and the pain in his eyes!
Emma Frost made contact a few days later, initially putting off Llavi just as well. But she soothed him with her words, knowing his turmoil and not only feel his pain like Worthington, but have a way to help him get past it. Llavi broke down, exhausted from running and hiding, finally accepting the offer.
He's been at the school a little over a year at this point.

| MISC. NOTES: |
-One day, I'll come back and make this look pretty. Because I do care about formatting...just not right now.
-As per the religion he was brought up with, Llavi wears spiritual beads on his arm at all times. With the little master he has over the Ichor, he has also shaped the black spots into symbols on both hands. They now appear as simple (albeit vividly black) tattoos, paying homage to his deities: Oya and Obatala.
-He has a lingering apprehension to Americans, though not a distaste or dislike. However, mentally, he's more critical of them, especially what he calls "TV Gringos" (white people who remind him of the ones he would see on television in his home village).
-He's new to the world of mutant hatred. Well, the mutant world in general. It's all still pretty frightening.
-Being relatively new to the world, he's not particularly star struck by the current X-Men. They're just teachers to him. (*)
-He'll randomly cook at times because the sound of sizzling food seems to be the only white noise that can take his thoughts away when they become too much.
-Despite the "tense" upbringing, there are numerous parts of Llavi's life that are typical of a young South American male. Music and dance are a good portion of Llavi's life. On occasion, he'll cave to the music and give in to the bachata o salsa. He's a passionate young male who is rarely given the chance to express it.
-He doesn't mention his sister or his mother to anyone. His story stops primarily around where his abuela died, though he leaves the actual year of her death vague (in an attempt to make it seem more recent). He let's the assumptions of his classmates do the rest of the work.
The air-head one, yes? Oh, no not air head. Hah! No, he is the one who controls air, yea? He is a funny kid, I like that he smiles often. He is pretty energetic though, no? He seems a little nervous around me, I think it’s entertaining. I could probably scare him someday. I think I might do that, yeah.
Anderson, Nathaniel:
Ah yes! He is funny, no? Not like “haha that one is a good joke” funny, but like...well anyway. He puffs his chest when I am near he and his novia, like a rival peacock. It’s interesting to see. He must be a resilient man or an easily...what is it called...enraptured one for his love to Mizz Hollie.
Andrews, Allison:
She is sweet, but a little vain, yeah. Oh no, not vain...eh, what’s the word...only the fashion magazines. But I like that she wants to help others. It’s a genuine want to help, not the fake one you see so much over here. She likes to help for act of it. That is good. She should maybe try to look and see how great she can turn out, yes?
Green, Daniel:
Ah yes, the plant boy! He is more quiet than the plants he grows! I don't know much about him other than he probably might not like my Ichor wilting plants after days, I think. I see the Hispanic in him, he might have been raised Gringo--oh I am sorry, that sounds bad. Only that he might not know Spanish and my heritage so it is somewhat a shame. I think Mother Earth also gave him some of her love, he seems genuine I think. Ah yes, and he has a nice, bubble ass. It's great.
Grey, Darren:
Eh...I don't like him. He walks with entitlement, like the brother of a sicario. All of the money, none of the resolve. It is funny, he does the same thing to other of us that humans do. He judges based on what he sees. His powers teach him nothing.
Hollens, Hollie:
Ah the celebrity! Hollie. I saw many snips of her growing up and when I got here. I don't like her. She is very much like her diamonds: the glitter is blinding, but when the lights are off, you see right through her. She and her cabron are good for each other. Her attitude is bad for mutants, yeah. I bet she might be accepting, but no one has shown her just how.
Irving, William:
William! I enjoy him, he's different than the others. A pariah among the freaks, and for no fault of his own. He believes in things bigger than him, I think. He can see a person past the skin. I think his powers are interesting. I respect his predicament and he's not bitter. THAT is strength.
Keller, Heidi:
I think they call her Spark Girl because she is spunky. She seems mainly unafraid. But, I don't know her well. She's also not from here, so maybe she sees how excessive the entitlement can be too?
Lebeau, Ryan:
....I think it is a good thing his parents teach here, for his sake.
Pilgrim, Lucas:
I am not sure whether he his afraid of me, hates me or has a crush on me. The other students, they talk about him, but so far I am not impressed. He's very insightful in a battlefield though. He almost reminds me of my uncle in his clever tactics.
*Short brown hair though he rarely takes the hat off.
| BIRTHNAME: |
William Alexander
| NICKNAME(S): |
Will
| ALIAS(ES): |
TBD (Never been in the Danger Room)
| SEX: |
Male
| AGE: |
15
| ABILITIES: |
Aerokinesis: Will has the ability to manipulate the air around him. Which gives him some neat abilities.
Levitation: Not as accute as Telekinesis however Will can use air currents to move objects. This is limited however to "lift, push, pull".
Assisted Movement: He is able to use air currents to speed himself up and jump greater distances. Honing these skills he has become quite the acrobat.
Concussive Blasts: No surprise, but he is able to throw concussive blasts of air at foes/objects/allies.
Air Bubbles: In the same way he is able to create a concussive blast he can create a sphere of air around his own, or an allies head, for breathing where there is no air. He could equally remove the air but has never done this.
Protection Sphere: By forcing the air outwards from himself he can create a temporary force field that can block kinetic or other elemental attacks.
Cold Breath: As harsh winds are typically cold, he can breathe a blast of chilling air.
Limitations/Weakensses:
Focal Point: Will is the focal point of his ability, anything he does is centered on him. If he wants to lift an object he must be close enough to pull the air up from underneath it or find a vent to redirect the air. Due to this line of sight rules apply. Think of it like Pyro where all his flames originate from his hands, or Iceman.
Fear of Heights: Archangel has been pushing Will to try and conduct air currents while flying a glider to try and remain airborne. However Will has been reluctant due to his fear of heights.
Energy blasts: While he can make use of the air currents to block kinetic/elemental attacks he is unable to block energy attacks and instead must dodge them. High velocity projectiles also pose a problem for him.
Strength: While he has worked on improving his agility Will isn't terribly strong, relying on precise fast strikes rather than heavy ones.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
2001: Will is born in New York to parents Gabe Alexander and Susan Alexander.
2002: Gabe Alexander dies when attending the scene of a fire assumed to have been caused by the Brotherhood.
2003: Wills powers begin to manifest, though in a weak state that his mother does not notice.
2004: Susan Alexander begins to notice strange drafts in the house, particularly in rooms that Will is in. With growing tension between humans and mutants she begins to become concerned for her sons future and safety.
2005: Susan is now convinced that her son is a mutant. Makes the decision to try and home school him rather than send him to a public school. Doing so in fear of her son becoming a target to anti-mutant groups emerging across the country. Will becomes affixed on a show called Avatar: The Last Airbender.
2006: After an accident playing with his powers causes a vase from a shelf to fall on his mother, Will stops using his abilities. Social Services begin to visit as he is rarely seen outside. Neighbors fearing that Susan has been abusing her son, seeing that she is injured and Will seems to have been blamed they recommend will go see a psychiatrist.
2009: Post Apocalypse event Susan grows more and more concerned about the future of her son. Specifically in New York where all kinds of crazy dealings occur with Sentinels, The X-Men, Brotherhood and the Avengers. She decides to move out to the country.
2011: After moving to the country Will uses the new outdoor freedom to begin testing the limits of his power, in a nearby wood he begins to gain an affinity for acrobatics. Managing to use the air to cushion any possible dangerous falls and to alter his trajectory.
2012: Will learns about the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning and begs his mum to let him go be with people like him, as he has never truly had a friend. She denies.
2014: One day when out in the wood Will encounters a girl around the same age. Later he finds out her name is Lucy Thompson. The two become fast friends. Wills mum is initially worried about the friendship, however soon realizes it is good for her son. Though asks that he keeps his abilities on the down low. Even more so when she discovers Lucy is from a particularly religious family.
2015: Lucy goes to fall in the woods, Will prevents it by standing below her and using his abilities to cushion the fall. She runs off calling him a freak. Soon her father appears at their door demanding that Will never sees his daughter again. Fearing for his safety after the incident Susan reluctantly agrees to send Will away to the Xavier institute.
2015/16: A bit of a social outcast (purely from not being used to social situations) Will attends the school. He quickly becomes familiar with his teachers occasionally being seen as a 'teachers' pet as he just treats everyone like a friend due to the fact he has never been in a school type situation. He is especially fond of CQC training, simply due to the way that Mr.Rasputin/Peter Rasputin treats everyone like a little sibling.
| MISC. NOTES: |
Full Fat Irn Bru
Is a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender (tries to replicate Aangs air scooter).
Isn't a fan of fighting, or rivalry.
Likes training with other acrobatic orientated people, as while he can use his powers to assist his movement he wants to be as good as people who are good acrobats without their powers.
Will doesn't really know Luke, but he's a bit envious at how long he's been a student at the School. Also the fact he can go invisible is pretty dang cool.
Ryan Martin Lebeau:
Ryans the kind of student who seems to know EVERYTHING. As such, he's a good guy to know.
Darren Grey:
Will knows Darren has a history, but doesn't really care. The past is the past. Their powers can make pretty interesting combinations, while Will has never been in the Danger Room for training he has had fun pushing Darren around using air in the Gymnasium and outside (Darren once got stuck to Llavis ichor while practicing) and even inflated him a couple of times!
Allison Andrews:
She's pretty (He's a 15 year old social outcast, what more do you want?) and while her ability is pretty swish... he also knows that it must be a burden.
William Irving:
They share a name, that's an instant point in the win column. Other than that Will tries to speak to him as often as possible, after all he wears that mask for a reason and it probably isn't a good one. Not to mention Will doesn't seem to see feel the same negatives that other people feel around him. So tries to spend time with the older mutant when he can.
Hollie Hollens
Hollie was on TV. He goes to school with a CELEBRITY, who can turn into pure CRYSTAL, who is also pretty darn cute. What's not to like?
Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV:
Nathan has a wide array of powers, and Will is typically in awe in how he manages them all. Not to mention Nathan has been pretty cool in helping Will learn the ins and outs of School, social situations and schoolwork.
Llavi Arutro De La Rosa:
Will likes him, as he likes everyone, though generally avoids him because he can't pronounce his name and doesn't want to offend him.
Heidi Keller:
Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.
Danny Green:
Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.
Heidi's most obvious features are her shoulder-length locks of chocolate-blonde hair (which can appear in a darker or lighter shade depending on the lighting) and her distinctive hazel-green eyes. She often wears her hair loose or tied in a long ponytail. Her face is slightly-oval in shape, her nose pert, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. She stands at a height of one hundred and sixty-eight centimetres tall and weighs around sixty-five kilograms. Her posture is befitting that of someone who engages in a healthy dose of physical activity. Her build is athletic and lean, with a fair share of muscles gained through her highly physical lifestyle. She is highly lithe and agile, and her figure clearly represents one who is familiar with climbing and other acrobatic manoeuvres. Heidi's pale ivory complexion boasts a hint of golden undertones, and is unblemished, without any sign of physical scars.
Attire-wise, Heidi can usually be seen dressed in dark-coloured long sleeved blouses and t-shirts, which are often paired with a brown parka and dark grey form-fitting pants. Although she has a preference for form-fitting attire, she still wears her fair share of semi loose and comfortable clothing on a frequent basis, and the sight of her combining the two of them is definitely not an unusual one. Although she has been in the US for a couple of years now, she still speaks in her natural German accent, although its current state is alot less pronounced compared to the time when she first arrived.
| A B I L I T I E S: |
Electrokinesis:
■ Generation | Heidi is able to generate and store electromagnetic energy of her own in her body. She is able to control the current and voltage of the electrical energy to generate raw electromagnetic energy controlling it at will for various purposes. There is a limit to how much she can store and any excess will leak out into the environment as static electricity.
■ Expulsion | Be it conjuring up palm-sized balls of electrical energy or small bolts of electricity, Heidi is able to harness and shape the energy within her to do her bidding. Heidi is also able to augment her punches and kicks with electrical energy, similarly to how a taser works. She is currently working on a new technique which enables her to let loose a continuous stream of electrical energy.
■ Electrical Immunity | As a by product of her power and how the cells in her body react to electrical energy, she is completely immune to the effects of electricity, and thus can never be electrocuted. She is able to absorb electricity harmlessly and convert it to beneficial energy for her use. That also mean that she is also able to redirect electrical attacks coming her way should she need it.
■ Electromagnetism | Heidi is able to manipulate and control the magnetic fields of metal objects using a variety of electrical currents. She is thus able to levitate these objects through the use of telekinesis, though it should be noted that she is only able to control objects with metallic elements in them regardless of the voltage of currents she introduces into non-metallic materials.
Limitations/Weaknesses:
■ Insulators | Her power is completely ineffective against materials which are good insulators of electricity, as they cannot be electromagnetically manipulated, levitated, or damaged unlike conductors. Such materials include wood, rubber, and plastic.
■ Recharge Needed | After a long or extended period of use, she will be drained of any electrical energy stored within her and her generation rates will be greatly reduced as well. She will then need to drain other sources of electrical energy, such as power lines, fuse boxes and batteries to replenish her energy levels back to regular levels. Her body glows and crackles in a whitish blue glow that makes her stick out like a sore thumb especially at night which makes hiding virtually impossible.
■ Exhaustion | Aside from not being able to control electricity once drained, Heidi will experience a sudden, acute sense of fatigue, as her powers are tied-in to his own bioelectric energy levels. An analysis of her blood shows that her electrolytes/blood-salt levels are higher-than-normal, indicating that she needs a high enough level of blood-salt levels to support the use of his powers. However, the increased intake of sodium has no adverse effect on her health, as they go towards supplementing her abilities.
| B I O G R A P H Y: |
■ 1998: A new girl was born to a German couple in the coastal city of Hamburg, Germany. The newly married couple, Hans and Greta Keller named their latest addition into the family, Heidi Anneliese Keller.
■ 2004: Her parents began to wonder why there seems to be an abnormal amount of static whenever anyone get closes to her. They rub it off as nothing unusual with nothing to worry about.
■ 2006: As the young girl grew, so did her power. Apart from the static electricity which didn't seem to subside as they had hoped, now common metallic objects, like watches, spoons and forks seem to get attracted to her hands often. Her parents began to worry.
■ 2008: The first signs of visible electrical energy makes itself known as she unknowingly shocks a bully in her school while in a highly emotional state by touching him. He fell back as though hit by a taser, driving him unconscious. The other bullies scatter, shouting for help. The principal and the parents of the boy label her a freak, and the school begins to gossip about the girl, with everyone avoiding her for fear of the same treatment. The whole school calls her "freak" and "monster" behind her back. Her old friends begin to alienate her as well. For the first time in her life, the young girl feels alone and self-deprecating.
■ 2009: The bad name and reputation surrounding Heidi spreads from her school to her city and neighbourhood. Aware of their daughter's misery and the distaste of the ill-words spoken of their child, they decide to immigrate to the United States of America to begin a new life in a new country where nobody knew them or their past.
■ 2010: Unafraid or ashamed or her power, Heidi start to play a little game with her powers, lining up old tins she gathered lying around the neighbourhood in a her backyard, shooting at them as though wielding a pistol. Her initial attempts were weak and unsuccessful, but daily practices saw her grew better.
■ 2011: Heidi's little game did not went as unnoticed as she had hoped. Less than a year after she started her game, a pair of "suits" appear at her doorstep asking for an opportunity to study her. Her parents were initially agreeable but changed their mind the place they were taken to freaked them out. Guards tried to stop them from leaving, but Heidi shocks her way free with the guards unprepared for such an attack.
■ 2012: The Dark Phoenix event happened, and everything went quiet for a while. Life went on as normal and they were no more further visits by these "suits", though Heidi had a feeling that they would return some day.
■ 2014: Heidi was recruited into the school several months before Charles Xavier passed. She mourns together with the rest of the school on the loss of a great leader and visionary.
■ 2016: Two years has passed since she had been a part of the school, and she would like to think that she had integrated well into her new life at school while still maintaining a form of contact with her old one.
| M I S C . N O T E S : |
■ Heidi is a incredibly talented gymnast and acrobat. ■ She was in the school's gymnastics team before joining up with Xavier's Academy. ■ She is also a talented martial artist whose passion lies in Taekwondo. ■ Her favourite music lies in the classical and opera genre. ■ She loves watching action and science fiction shows/movies. ■ Heidi still speaks in her natural German accent, albeit less pronounced compared to how it used to be. ■ Her favourite food has got to be Pizza. ■ She also loves anything cooked on the grill, be it steaks, burgers, pork chops or barbecued ribs. ■ My favourite beverage has got to be Iced Chocolate. ■ The same applies to Heidi, except she loves Hot Chocolate equally as much.
One of the youngest student in the school, Heidi is a big fan of William's energetic and lively spirit. She finds his exuberance and optimism refreshing, and just spending some time with the younger boy is enough to lift some darkness on a sad and depressing day. His powers is also similar to hers in the elemental aspect.
Anderson, Nathaniel:
To be entirely honest, Heidi doesn't know much about Nathaniel. What he does know, however is that he's another one of the psonics who is able to create fancy ethereal weapons, and that he likes Hollie.
Andrews, Allison:
Allison is a nice girl, a pleasant and affable individual that Heidi doesn't mind hanging out with when she needs someone to talk about girl stuff. She finds her power cool, what with the future-seeing and all. So clairvoyant and so mystical.
De La Rosa, Llavi:
Llavi is alot older than she is, which reduces the contact they have with each other. The only thing they have in common in a way is that they were both originally both a foreign country. She also knows him as the Black goo guy.
Green, Daniel:
Well, as far as Daniel is concerned, Heidi doesn't really know much about the guy. She does, however know that his powers allow him to control plants, which makes him part of the group, along with Alexander that possess elemental abilities. His plans of eventually lying down with Colossus is also pretty vocal.
Grey, Darren:
Heidi can understand why few people like the guy. He does act like an asshole, although it wasn't as bad as it was when he first joined the school. A memory that she will always remember is the sight of Ryan giving him a sucker punch. She doesn't necessarily hate or like the guy, as she doesn't have enough contact to do so.
Hollens, Hollie:
Ever since she moved to the United States, Heidi has remembered watching Hollie's shows on TV. She was surprised to see that unlike on her shows, she is actually rather stuck-up in real life. Although she is not a fan of snobby people, Heidi maintains a frenemy status with the older girl.
Irving, William:
Heidi finds the masked boy to be somewhat of a peculiar nature, which intrigues her. His background which comes for abandonment kicks in her protectiveness, and so she tries her best to talk to him whenever she can in order to make his time here a much better one that the one he had before.
LeBeau, Ryan:
Classmates together with Luke and Ryan, she has known the two of them for a long time, progressing from once acquaintances to frenemies. Heidi is clearly aware of the rivalry between the two of them and often tries to involve herself in the thick of it, cheering on Luke's side most of the time.
Pilgrim, Luke:
Heidi finds Luke enlightening... To her, the guy is a great individual whom she enjoys being around and spending her time with. His attractive and suave appearance coupled with his great sense of humour and love for puns is something that she loves equally. The two of them also share a common interest when it comes to their favourite food. It is safe to say that the girl does indeed have a noticeable crush on the guy.
"Life doesn't need to hand me lemons. I can just make them myself."
| BIRTHNAME: |
Daniel Aiden Green
| NICKNAME(S): |
Danny
| ALIAS(ES): |
Chlorophyll
| SEX: |
Male
| AGE: |
18
| APPEARANCE: |
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.
| ABILITIES: |
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.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
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. 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 they discovered the Xavier Institute. When hearing there was a place that helped people like Danny, he was more than willing to attend.
| MISC. NOTES: |
Danny is a bit of an Eco-Nazi and is a bit 'extra' when scolding people about protecting the environment to save the planet.
Other than turning into the spawn of satan when someone litters, he's sweet 90 percent of the time.
He tends to keep to himself most of the time unless someone comes up to him and speaks.
Danny's a big time stan for Beyonce.
His favorite food is vegan pizza.
Has dreams about Colossus laying down that pipe that he doesn't bother hiding from anyone.
As above. Her hair is naturally a deep orange, though she dyes it to a richer reddish colour that she finds a tad more bearable. She dresses very casually, mostly jeans with baggy tops and jackets.
| ABILITIES: |
Biokinesis - Penelope wields a low-level but potent form of biological manipulation - the complete control of her own biological matter, makeup and shape. Using this, she is able to change her biology rapidly and at will. Though she still has a lot to learn to wield her abilities to the fullest extent, she is still capable with the transformations she has managed thus-far, which include sprouting talons and spikes from her hands, spliting her face from the corners of her mouth into a fanged maw, and erupting barbs of bone from her skin.
The extent of Penelope's biokinesis is dependent on the available body mass to manipulate. The mutations mentioned above are 'low-resource' and easy to achieve - but she is yet to accomplish anything along the lines of extra limbs, tentacles, or greater eruptions of bone and/or muscle. Additionally, her powers are yet to afford her any durability or physical enhancements beyond her 'accessories'.
| BIOGRAPHY: |
Born to a loving, if conservative, mother and father in small town Massachusetts, Penelope lead a smiple childhood, with no sisters but many cousins, and a forced sense of community with the town. She was happy, if stifled, and generally enjoyed good weather, large social circles, and education - though she felt great shame at the state's sordid history with the red frenxy of the withc hunts.
Penelope's X-Gene first became active at 14, when, during dinner one Thursday, Penelope sprouted three extra eyes on her forehead and cheeks, frightening her parents with her new appearance and frightening Penelope with the sudden new vision. Dinner was cancelled as she lost the eyes and gained her first experience of the polarised public view on mutants: her mother cast all doubt aside, immediately accepting Penelope for what she had always been born to be - her father called her and her mother a variety of disgusting slurs, and left.
Penelope kept her powers hidden as much she could; she worked hard on consciously suppressing the transformations, and wore long, baggy clothing to help hide the times she couldn't. However, over the years, it seemed that suppressing her abilities were only aggravating them, as her 'accessories' became grander and more frequent. Eventually, her mother couldn't bare the thought of Penelope's safety at home being compromised any longer. Penelope packed, and took the first bus to Xavier's on the dawn of her 17th birthday. She's been there since.
Sonny Creed stands at roughly 5’3″ (160 cm). She's a natural brunette which she currently wears long and can sometimes be a little unkempt. Her eyes are a beautiful green, and reflect light at night much like those of feline or alligator. Her lips are pink, full and inviting. Sonny's slim figure is fit and tone. Her nails/claws are all pointed and razor sharp with a bit of a dark golden hue. Her ears are also pointed and well hidden underneath her hair.
She cleans up pretty good. She is not particularly fond of make up, hair products and especially perfume. Most of the clothing is somewhat loose fitting. Cotton and denim are the most common clothing materials she enjoys wearing. When she is trying to make herself more presentable Sonny will wear a dress, begrudgingly, but not heels. Sonny prefers not to wear shoes, but when she does she prefers tennis shoes. Of course, all of this 'girling' up is just a facade. A disguise to conceal the animal she truly believes herself to be.
|ABILITIES:|
▲Mutations▲
Regenerative Healing Factor - Wild Thing's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables her to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of her anatomy with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. She can fully heal from injuries that result in massive tissue damage or loss such as multiple gunshot wounds, slashes, puncture wounds, blunt force trauma, and severe burns. Though the more damage she suffers the longer it may take to regenerate.
Foreign Chemical Resistance - Crimson's natural healing also affords her high resistance to poisons and most drugs (be they helpful or harmful).
Resistance To Diseases - Wild Thing's healing powers also extend to her highly efficient immune system. As a result, she is highly resistance to the effects of all known Earthly diseases and infections.
Superhuman Stamina - Wild Thing's accelerated healing factor enhances the efficiency of her musculature so that it produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. Crimson can physically exert herself at peak capacity for up to 3 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins began to impair her. Her lung capacity is at peak human level enabling Crimson to hold her breath for 6 minutes under water, making her lungs as healthy as human's lungs can get. And when her lungs stop working，she can maintain his life by cutaneous respiration （It can only maintain her basic life activities).
Fangs and Claws - Wild Thing has 20 retractable 3" talons in place of finger & toenails. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, capable of rending substances as durable as flesh, bone, and wood. Her canines are also retractable and just as sharp.
Superhuman Agility - Crimson's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to peak human performance.
Enhanced Sense of Smell - Wild Thing can detect specific persons, objects, substances or even places, locate their origin and track targets with nothing but her nose. She can often differentiate between real and illusions.
Peak Human Strength - Because of her healing factor, Wild Thing can push her muscles, joints, and ligaments to levels beyond the natural limits of a woman of her height, weight, and build without sustaining injury. While her skeleton, much like her musculature, can withstand greater pressures than a normal human skeleton, she can only withstand so much weight and pressure without sustaining fractures. While not superhuman, she is as physically strong as an ordinary human can be and can lift about 600 lbs.
▲Limitations▲
Agoraphobia - Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that makes people extremely fearful of places and situations that they see as dangerous or uncomfortable. In Sonny's case it's a fear of being caged and/or trapped in a place where she might not be able to get out. Rooms with no windows or bars on the windows as well as anything resembling a jail cell can send the young mutant into either a panic attack or a feral rage.
Brain & Heart Damage - If sufficient damage is done to more than half of her brain, Wild Thing will not be able to regenerate and will die. Destroying and/or removing her heart will also kill her.
Carbonadium Digestion - Crimson's healing factor can be dramatically slowed if Carbonadium is implanted inside of her, such as swallowing something made of Carbonadium or being wounded by a bullet composed of it. It causes her healing factor to be reduced to a slow crawl, at least in comparison to its normal speed, but doesn't fully suppress it.
Drowning - Crimson has never learned how to swim, and therefore is not likely to voluntarily go into water that is higher than waist deep. Being kept underwater can kill her, with the healing factor only prolonging the agony.
Feral Rage - Crimson has trouble controlling her more negative emotions as well as keeping animalistic nature in check, especially within the heat of battle. A berserk rage activated through fear, nervousness, or anger. One benefit of the rages is the suppression of pain. Unfortunately, Sonny may be unable to separate friend from foe and attack everyone during a rage.
Mutant Viruses - Viruses that specifically target homo sapien superiors may possibly effect her immune system normally (GMs' discretion).
Vulnerable Sense of Smell - Her enhanced sense of smell is always active, and can be sensitive to overly foul odors. Both smell and taste work in conjunction with each other so Wild Thing may become nauseous after smelling something and tasting it. It can be hard to find someone if she doesn't know their scent firsthand so it often requires an object touched by the other person to get their scent. Also, other scents from an area that has a large amount of people (such as a battlefield) can make it harder to find a specific scent.
▲Skills/Talents▲
Climbing - Due to her athleticism, strength and claws Sonny is a very adept climber. As long as there is something for her fingers/toes and claws to grab a hold of or to sink into changes are she can scale the surface with little difficulty.
Tracking - With a great deal of aid of her mutant senses Sonny is pretty darn capable of hunting down her selected prey.
Predator Empathy - Sonny and predatory mammals (canines, felines, wolverines and bear) seem to get along fairly well. She can usually alter an animal's mood, calming an angry predator using nothing but body language. That is unless they are rabid, starving or mind controlled. In the wild a young Sonny would occasionally share kills with other feral beasts.
|BIOGRAPHY:|
■ November 1999 An infant girl is discovered upon the steps of a church in Forks, WA. Along with the infant is a note asking whomever should find her to "do as they saw fit" with the child. A red ribbon is also found with the word Crimson. It is immediately obvious that there is something special about the girl when it is discovered that she has pointed ears. The baby is taken in by a lonely nun.
■ 2002 Crimson's claws grow in as do her super sharp canines. Not only does she often scratch her caretaker, but herself as well. Except, little Crimson's scratches heal much faster than the nun's. Much, much faster...
■ 2004 The first mutant, Apocalypse unleashes his wrath upon the world. Nearly enslaving mankind and mutants alike. Upon Apocalypse's defeat, the nun is pressured by her church and the townsfolk to either give young Crimson over to the government... or to kill her. The nun decides to give up her child, feeding the four year old a sedative, and abandoning Crimson in the woods near the Canadian border.
■ December 26, 2004 A man, identifying himself as Creed, comes to the church apparently looking for the mutant baby that was left there so many years ago, stating that the infant is family. One witness makes it out alive as the parish (which surprisingly included another mutant whom had in plain sight for over a decade) is killed and the church is burned to the ground.
■ November 30, 2011 Crimson is discovered in Algonquin Provincial Park by a reality television crew searching for cryptids in the Canadian wilderness. Feral and cornered by strangers, Crimson attacks the five man crew, injuring them all to some degree and nearly killing one. With the help of some park rangers, Crimson is subdued.
■ December 2, 2011 Crimson is freed from Canadian custody by a group of mutants calling themselves the Brotherhood just as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrive. There are casualties on both sides. Before the Brotherhood can make their escape, members of the X-Men show up. The X-Men officially rescue Crimson while the mutant terrorists are taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.
■ 2012 While at the institute Crimson has trouble fitting in with the other students due to her feral nature, and finds a kindred spirit in Wolverine. With the help Professor X, Wolverine, and the institute staff Crimson begins to adopt more and human behaviors as well as regained some of her early childhood memories.
■ 2012 Jean Grey is overtaken by the Phoenix Force, and Cyclops and Wolverine are forced to take her down. Traumatized by what they had to do both men end up leaving the school. Feeling suddenly abandoned by the X-Man she was closed to, Crimson runs away.
■ 2012 - 2013 Crimson is found by and ends of living with a group of mutants whom make their home within the sewer system of New York.
■ September 2013 Venturing above ground accompanied by a few younger Morlocks, Crimson and her companions are cornered by members of the mutant hating group, Friends of Humanity. After being rescued by a couple of X-Men, Crimson begrudgingly returns to Xavier's.
■ 2014 At the age of 85, Dr. Charles Xavier passes away in his sleep. Heartbroken, Crimson once again runs away.
■ Febuary 2015 Crimson makes her way to Forks, WA looking for the nun who had taken her in so long ago. She is shocked to learn of the nun's and church's fate.
■ October 31, 2015 Returning to New York after some soul searching, Crimson returns to the Xavier Institute.
|MISC. NOTES:| Wendy's Frosty
■ It is very possible that Sonny is indeed related to Sabretooth aka Victor Creed, and, by default, Graydon Creed. As of yet, no official DNA test has been given.
■ Sonny's education level is not that of the average 16 year old, but instead that of a much younger child.
■ She believes sitting around watching television and playing video games is a waste of time, and is meant for the stupid and lazy.
■ Having been unofficially adopted and partially raised by a nun in her early years, Sonny is indeed religious.
