Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters

Aurora had arrived in the auditorium before most of the student body had begun to trickle in. Had it been anxiety over her quiet thoughts that had driven her here? Or was the the longing to be welcomed back into the only place she could think of as home? She couldn't know. She only knew that when she was alone, and undistracted, it was hardest not to go back to that dark time in her life. Had she ever really left it?

She ran a hand through her long, lively locks as the students began to enter. She was grateful to see them. The past weeks of vacation had been difficult for Rory. She had envied the number of students able to go home, to visit their relatives and be among loved ones. She had longed to walk through the doors of her grandiose home, to great her father in the far too large foyer, to hear her mother scold her for tracking soil from the garden over the new carpet. To hold her sister, who had died before she was old enough to really know what death was...

Suddenly, Kitty Pryde's voice cut through the gloom of her thoughts, professional, but filling her with the warmth of familiarity. She was relieved to find herself surrounded with people, who helped to ease her pain with their welcome jokes, mishaps, and other distractions. She was especially thrilled when her eyes landed on the dark, straight hair of one of the better friends she had made here. "Alicia!" she hissed, only to be shushed by a stuffy mutant at her side. She gave a toss of her eyes, and slowly, stealthily, lowered herself from the folding chair to the ground. A few curious eyes watched as she crouched, took in a deep breath, and quickly phased. In the blink of an eye, she had sprung from her spot and had landed in the seat next to Alicia, her wavy, dark hair bouncing around her shoulders as she came to a sudden stop.

She gave Alicia a sideways smirk, quite pleased with her clever maneuver and whispered, "Hey," complete with a wink of one eye. She bit her lip and gave a shrug of her shoulders in the direction of a faculty member that gave her a scolding glare.

Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters

I've planned for Rory to have been at the school for a little while. So, if anyone wants to set up a friendship/rivalry or something with her, I'd be willing to discuss it. : 3

Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters (Cast List)

Appearance:

5’6, Olive skin, Dark wavy hair

Name: Aurora “Rory” Olivia Claudwell

Codename: Jinx

Age: 18

Place of Birth: Upstate New York

Occupation: Student

Family: Julian Claudwell – Brother, Missing.

Relationship Status: Single

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Mutant Ability:
Cat-like abilities. Rory is agile, flexible, has fast reflexes, and is stronger than the average human being. This makes her more prone to success at certain martial arts. She also has sharp vision, capable of seeing clearly at night and across distances with higher detail. Her more obvious mutation is her claws, which are hard of substance and retractable when she’s not engaged in combat.
Unique abilities include…
Phase Walking – Rory may appear to be ‘teleporting’ when using this ability. However, Rory accelerates her speed of movement to the point of being indistinguishable by the human eye. This is mostly used to dodge attacks and typically works in shorter bursts.

Rory’s abilities are continuing to develop...

Personality and History:
Rory grew up in a wealthy and comfortable home. Her father owned and ran his own company successfully. He along with his wife were frequently away from home due to company obligations, leaving the children in the care of the nanny. Because of this, Rory and her siblings, older brother Julian and younger sister Alexandrine, became extremely close over the years. They relied on each other to confide in, and they were the first to know when Rory’s abilities began to manifest.

Despite their frequent absences, Mr. and Mrs. Claudwell always made sure to spend holidays and birthdays at home. One birthday night, Rory’s 16th, their large home caught on fire with the family inside. Rory escaped with the help of her brother, Julian, but the rest of the family perished in the blaze. Shortly after seeing his sister to safety, Julian disappeared into the chaos. It was assumed that he died trying to save the rest of their family from the burning house, however, his remains were never found.

With access to her funds limited until her 18th birthday, and harboring fear over her growing powers, Rory sought out the institute. She viewed it as a safe place to cope with her loss and to learn more about her strange gifting.

Although she still seems to carry a lot of sadness at times, Rory has slowly begun to heal from that tragic period in her life. She is a deep thinker, with a wild and fun loving spin to her personality. She values spontaneity and personal connections. She is fiercely loyal to those she bounds to, and can be extremely protective. She is a passionate and aggressive fighter.

Extra:
Rory often has extremely vivid dreams and nightmares. They are unbelievably life-like, and frequently leave her with a sense of foreboding. More than once she has woken up screaming or in tears. The emotional turmoil and realistic quality of her experiences have left Rory wondering if these visions could possibly be more than simple dreams.

Rory is a skillful cellist. Before the manifestation of her powers and the death of her family, she had planned to pursue a career in music. She still practices, although she typically does so privately. It is rare to hear her play. Most students and faculty are unaware of her musical talent.

Thieves, Inc.

Sorry. Didn't mean to drop the ball on you guys. >< I was busy with classes.

Thieves, Inc.

Avan, if you're feeling that way, you probably could. But you'll need a GM that can keep it structured. With that in mind, it might be wise to wait for him.

Thieves, Inc.

Omgsh! Bring it back. I need to play as Bunny again. : D
