Dark Eternity

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Accepted Character by Natty:

Name: Trey Abidemi
Alias: Halt
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Appearance:
Trey appears quite young for his age and stands at around 5”8. He is usually always found wearing a shirt and tie, regardless of the weather.
Powers:

• Temporal Stasis – Halt is able to generate a sort of translucent energy bubble and immobilise anything inside it. Truthfully, Halt is actually freezing time in these bubbles, although this has yet to be discovered. Trey however is able to enter these bubbles and move freely without being affected. The bubbles are usually fairly small in size, with the ability to fit a small group of people within, however he has the capability to generate “time bubbles” on a much larger scale, with Halt having once produced a bubble with a diameter of just under 1km, “freezing” the majority of his hometown for around 24 hours. He tries to no longer create bubbles of this size, out of fear of repeating that incident.
• Time Travel – Halt has the ability to transport the contents of his bubbles through time, although strangely is able to change the past without creating alternate realities. Trey has yet to discover this ability, and it may be several years before he is able to do so.

Bio:
Trey grew up in a small town near Houston, Texas. Due to being one of the only black families in town, he found himself the frequent target for bullies; be that kids in the playground or simply racist adults. That didn’t stop him though, as Trey kept his head high and tried his best to continue with his studies.

When he was around 13, Trey was attacked on the way home from school by a group of local high schoolers, with one of them hitting him with a bat. After the third hit to the ribs from the baseball bat, Trey’s mutant abilities manifested. To his surprise he froze his attackers, although they weren’t the only victims of his outburst. He discovered that he had somehow encased the majority of the town in some kind of bubble, seemingly freezing everything and everyone inside.

Realizing that it was him who had caused it, Trey spent the next 24 hours trying to make the bubble disappear. Once it had, he and his mum fled town. He spent the next couple of years of his life living in the outskirts of Los Angeles. Here he began his new life, training his abilities in his spare time.

After graduation, he got accepted into the Mutant College of Liberty and Equality, otherwise known as the Grinder.

Notes:Due to time travel being obviously very overpowered, that ability won't be explored unless permission is given from Eternity.

Accepted Character by Automaton (left):

Name: Saul Sampson.

Alias: EndGame

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Sexuality: straight

Appearance: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Character-Concept-Baseborn-The-Third-361935446

Powers: Power Opposition: Josh has the ability (when coming into contact with other mutant abilities or DNA of other mutants) to inherit the exact opposite abilities from said mutant for example if he was hit with a blast of light, depending how strong and how long he was hit for he would inherit Darkness manipulation for a certain amount of time. Much like the known X-Man 'Rogue' the longer contact is made the longer and more powerful the ability will be, That said there is no telling how long it will last, a simple light beam hitting Josh can last to an hour, while if hit again on a separate occasion could last him five minutes. If exposed too long it is theorized that he will get to keep some of the abilities, these kept abilities seem to be activated by being around other mutants, activated or not.

When he hasn't taken any abilities he is just like any other human being, same amount of durability,reaction,strength or your average twenty year old.

Bio: Saul grew up in a big house in a gated community with everything he had ever wanted. Except freedom his parents who were both social recluses didn't like him spending time outside to much, always hovering on everything he did. Homework,eating, everything. They thought that keeping him busy with toys and games would quench his thirst for the outside world. They were wrong, Saul would always sneak out of the house to see his friends doing anything they wanted that was morally okay. But one night he and his friends met the inheritors a mutant only gang with the mentality that Mutants were supposed to inherit the world. They hated all non-mutants and frequently picked fights with them. This night they had the bad luck of meeting up with 'Crusher' a lieutenant who decided to use Saul and his friends and his playthings. He had the mutant ability to increase gravity in small pockets. He once he started to apply gravity to Saul and his pals Saul stood normally, straight up confused, Crusher applies more powers to Saul. Enough to crush him completely. Saul then lunged at Crusher, not much bigger than he is he went for an uppercut and missed. But what happened after that what much more surprising. Crusher was launched into the air, with no intent in stopping, he just rose into the night sky. Soon objects around Saul started to lift, along with him and his friends, as they panicked he tried to focus on staying down.

After this incident it was all over the news, Jackson Moss or 'Crusher' landed in an intersection, no longer a problem. After this Saul got himself tested. And he was tested positive for Mutantisim and after spending 2 years in inside a mutant jail he sent in an application to 'the grinder' for Mutant Consular.

Accepted Character by Legion02:

Name: David Fletchers
Alias: None, considering he hasn’t really done anything special yet. Though he plans to call himself: Astral. Though he’s still thinking it over.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: (Quite honestly i'm still working on this but i was hoping someone could already take a look at the 'Powers' and 'Bio' to see if that's okay)
Powers:
Cosmic powers.
The cosmos is filled with harmful radiation. Humans have already many identified such as gamma rays and ultra-violet light. However, some remain a mystery to humanity. Waves that alter other wave’s their amplitude or wave-length. Thus a whole cluster of unidentified waves still exist. Often discarded by scientists as ‘background noise’ while for a matter of fact, these kinds of waves originate from a cousin of the proton. A massless particle with as many mysteries themselves like protons. However, they have a lot more energy in them than protons. David calls that stage of the particles the ‘Alpha’ form. For normal humans (it is entirely possible for mutants with enhanced vision to see these particles) the particles are invisible. However, if you’d ask David how it looks, he’d tell you that it looks like they make a purple aurora in the sky at night.

David’s skin seems to function both as absorber and container of these particles. His nerves also seems remarkable attuned to this strange particle. At thought he can use it to fire a concentrated beam or orb of the particle. While in a normal state, like you’d find in the universe, this particle does not interact with any matter what so ever. Though somehow when David uses it, it does interact. Most often it superheats its surroundings, effectively creating plasma. He calls this state of the particles the ‘beta’ form. In the beta form the heat makes the light surrounding the particles red.

Just recently David discovered that these particles have a third ‘form’. In which they act as negative-gravitons. Thus negating gravity. However it has only worked on small objects like a tennis ball for so far. He calls this state of the particles the ‘delta’ form. Delta form particles often consume light for some odd reason. Making it as if the particles themselves look pretty dark.

His powers are most certainly useful, but they come at a cost. For one, the particles are easily absorbed by most metals. Which means that if he remains inside, even if there are windows, his particles will not replenish. In other words. If he uses his particles too much inside, he might end up exhausted of them. A second drawback is discharges. Even a bucket can overflow with water and the same goes for David. If there is a big build-up of these particles, they will be forced out. Often in either delta form or beta form.

Bio:
His mutant powers have only been manifesting themselves since he was 15. At first it was just his vision that was altered. High in the sky he saw the beautiful purple aurora. He wasn’t an insomniac or something, but he’d try to watch the sky passed midnight at least once a week since he could see the enchanting beauty.

About a year and a half after he discovered the aurora, his first discharge happened. The day started normal, except that he woke with a little headache. But David, as a 17 year old teenage boy, thought nothing of it. Throughout the hot day the headache got worse and worse. Until at PE. It was soccer and David seemed strangely energized. Until of course, he burned a goal down. Right before he wanted to take a shot at the goal, his vision blurred and blackened. The next thing he knew he found himself on a scorched patch of grass with a very burned smell coming from somewhere. Classmates would later tell him that it seemed as if the ball had a trail of red plasma. The goal keeper was able to jump away and didn’t get hurt. But the net caught fired and melted, together with the grass he was standing on.

At first David was discouraged. Even afraid. He heard a lot about the politicians with their Mutation Registration Act and feared that his class would see him as a monster. Though in the next few weeks, they didn’t treat him super different. Sure they often asked how he had done it, but he wasn’t bullied for it. This gave David the confidence to experiment with what he had. Soon he discovered that he could somehow launch red hot plasma at will. Much to the dislike of his mother, who had to buy new china.

His discovery of the delta form was also accidental, and most likely triggered by a discharge. One particular morning he woke with literally everything that wasn’t bolted to the floor peacefully floating around him. Of course until he noticed that it was floating. His desk and drawer crashed into the ground immediately. Around this moment his mother had enough and decided that it was time for him to learn how to use what he had. So she send him off to the Grinder. Hoping for the best for him.

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Accepted Character by Willem3141592 (left):

Name: Marc Willems
Alias: Receptor
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Marc is 1.86 meters tall (6'11") and has an average build, not muscular, but not fat or slim either. He has short brown hair and his eye colour is grey. He has a smooth pale skin as it is seldom exposed to the sun. He has a strong jawline and rather heavy eyebrows. Not much is seen of this because he covers nearly everything of his body to reduce external stimuli. He wears usually wears jeans and a hoodie with the hood over his neck. His hands are covered by rather thick gloves. He also wears a linen scarf, most of the time this is pulled up to cover his nose. He always wears sunglasses to reduce the brightness of the light and noise-cancelling headphones.

Picture

Powers:

• Super sight: He is able to see with enhanced clarity,detail and frequency, as well from a greater distance. With much concentration he is able to zoom in on objects, magnifying them. He's also able to see a bit into the ultra-violet and infra-red spectrum. His field of view is also a it larger than than of a normal human and is able to see very well in the dark.
• Super hearing: His hearing is able to pick up very soft sounds and he has a very wide range of frequencies he can listen too, even radio. With much concentration he is able to pick out one sound and focus on it.
• Super smell: Marc's sense of smell is so advanced he is able to track and trace smells more efficient than a blood hound.
• Super taste: Marc can taste traces that are usually only found by analytical machines and deduct the composition of it.
• Super touch: With this Marc can feel the slightest changes in pressure, including those through air and is able to sense very precisely the temperature of faraway objects.
• Super balance: Marc has an excellent sense of balance.
• Super reflexes: Not only his sensory nerve system has a mutation, his motoric nerve system has too. His reflexes are near instantaneous.
• Super muscle control/dexterity: Marc is very precise and never shakes. He is able to move every consciously controlled muscle exactly as he wants to. This includes his vocal cords, allowing him to reach otherwise inaccessible frequencies and volumes. It also makes him an excellent voice impersonator and ventriloquist.
• Improved pain resistance: While nowhere near 'enhanced' levels, Marc is able to deal very effectively with pain, because of his constant exposure to it. Rarely, in moments of great concentration or stress he is able to shut it off.

The downside to this all is that he can't control any of it. He is not able to power down and is constantly bombarded with sensory input. This gives him very heavy headaches. He's also very sensitive to everything, walking past a thrash bin might make him throw up, flash-bangs and the like will render him unconscious due to exposure. Even a slight breeze on exposed skin is able to hurt Marc.

Bio: Marc was born and raised in a medium-sized town. The first signs of his mutation started to show when he first stood up to walk. While most small children often fall, Marc had never fallen due to the mutation of his sense of balance. While this was extra-ordinary, no one was concerned with this. During his entire childhood Marc had a slight advantage of his enhanced senses and movements. Around his twelfth he started hearing sounds and seeing stuff and colours no-one else did. A year later he started hearing voices, picking up parts of radio transmissions. From there on it all went down-hill. He kept getting more stimuli and pain to go with this. He started to isolate himself from others to reduce the pain. It was only recently Marc figured out he was a mutant and enrolled in the Mutant College of Liberty and Equality.

Other: Marc is addicted to paracetamol because this numbs his senses.

Bio: She was raised homeless most of her life in the forest. She used to catch her food for her family to keep them from starving. She knew that there was a better life they could be living but her mother was unable to work because of different "health issues" they never told her about until she was 17. Her father was always out of the picture but would find them every once in a while to yell at her mother about how bad she was doing as a mother. One day it pissed off Artemis. She knew her mother was doing everything she could. She picked up her bow and had felt her power manifest and she aimed right at her father with her bow and arrow. When her mother say the electricity around the arrow her mother grabbed her daughter to stop her from using it. She blacked out and woke up in the dorm rooms at the Academy.

She told Artemis that she had to stay at the school to learn how to control her powers better than she could come back and live with her if she wanted to.

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Accepted Character of King Kindred:

Name: Alexander Clarke
Alias: Doesn't have an official one yet. He feels like his new friends could help him with that.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:

Hider

Alex stands at about 6'2 and gained the scar through his lips when he was a kid. He almost always wears the white hoodie of his. The only time he doesn't wear it is if he's sleeping, washing it, or doing something that would get it dirty, wet, or damaged. Underneath it he's probably wearing a graphic tee and he mostly wears jeans. He also usually wears sneakers. He also got a tattoo on his arm as soon as he turned eighteen.
Powers: Tactile Telekinesis: His whole body is completely surrounded by an invisible aura of telekinetic energy. This aura protects him from damage as well as provides him with enhanced strength. Due to inexperience the aura isn't that strong and he is able to get hurt and he's not as strong as he can be. He can however will the aura to disappear to allow himself a bit more freedom. At the moment he can only extend the area as far as his clothes. With training he is sure that he could become stronger and even develop more telekinetic abilities as seen in movies or read in stories.

Telepathy: His secondary power is telepathy and due to inexperience and only personal training it is limited as well. So far he has only shown the ability to read minds, speak telepathically, learn languages via telepathy, and create temporary mind links with others. Mind reading is second nature to him and he has to stop himself from wanting to listen to what other people are thinking about. Especially when they're talking to him. The temporary mind links place a strain on his mind and he feels more pain the more people he's connected to and the longer they're connected.
Bio: Alexander comes from a wealthy family. His ancestors were rather influential in Great Britain. One of his ancestors was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. His grandfather decided to branch out of Europe and decided to move to the United States to start what is now known today as Clarke Global. The company focuses primarily on technology and technological advances, but we're really not here to talk about the company. We're here to talk about Alex.

Alex lived a life an ordinary kid in his standings would live. He didn't very much care for his wealth or the company he was destined to run. He really only cared about having fun. His father was more strict on him than his mother was. Alex always understood why though. His grandfather was a very strict man and wasn't someone he'd want to get upset so he usually stayed out of his way whenever he visited. He wouldn't really call the visits, visits though. They were really always business discussions.

Life was alright until one day when he was twelve. He was kidnapped by some guys who expected a ransom, but if only they knew his dad. His mother would've cried for him to pay the men, but his father would've said something about not negotiating with criminals or terrorists. Plus they already had another kid who could be the heir to the company if he was killed. Yeah, his dad sucked. Anyway, when the guys were told they weren't getting a penny they decided to show Alex's dad that they were serious about their demands. They decided that they were going to torture a twelve year old kid. They cut his lips deciding to make the heir to a fortune ugly. Unfortunately for them it made him look better as he got older and they awakened something inside the kid. Alex's mutation activated at that moment preventing them from cutting him anymore. They were shocked that their knife bent against his skin. Alex was in shock with them, but used this as his chance to escape. He rammed into them with his head and felt no pain or discomfort, but they certainly did.

Alex was glad that he watched a lot of movies and used the chair breaking escape thing in most action movies to break the chair so that he could escape. He grabbed one of their flip phones and used it to dial 911 as he ran. The guys were arrested and the family lived happily ever after. They didn't. Alex couldn't wait to tell his parents about what happened. They came to the conclusion that he was a mutant. They were horrified at this, but was glad that the mutation wasn't obvious. They told him never to use his abilities around anyone. Especially not their "friends" and business associates.

Alex hated that they were stopping him from being who he was. When he was fifteen he learned that he could read minds and as he started to use it more he learned about other things that he could do. Due to him potentially running the business one day his parents got him learning different languages and he learned them rather easily. His parents started focusing more on his younger sister since she was the normal one. The one that wasn't a filthy mutant. He listened to their thoughts a lot.

After he graduated High School he convinced his parents to let him go to the Grinder and that they didn't have to tell their friends and associates that, that was the school he was going to. They eventually conceded and let him enroll and here he is.
