Got my IC post up. Sorry for the wait.

Xmen: Mutant Liberation Army

Modlen waited in her cell for several minutes after the stranger had opened it for her. She was certain it was trap, some kind of trick by the guards. Granted, they hadn't done anything like this before, but they were above tormenting mutants, as she was all too familiar.
After a while, the anxiety and indecisiveness waned just long enough for her to 'port outside of her cell, looking around fearfully. The first thing she saw was the corpse. It was one of the guards, his head turned away from her so she couldn't see his face, but the pool of blood and exposed muscle and bone told her he was definitely dead.

A wave of nausea and fresh anxiety washed over her. They were killing people. In a panic, she 'ported away, jumping from the end of one corridor to another in a blur. True, blood could heal her, but she'd never killed anyone for it. She'd never even seen a dead body before.
She stopped when she reached the group gathered around the guard tower as the person who opened up her cell addressed them. This wasn't good. He was talking about superiority and not relying on fear, a speech she'd heard a thousand times, and not just from mutants, but from people. Especially the members of her father's church. The words were different, but the message was always the same; We're better, they should fear us instead of us fearing them.

The entire thing made her uncomfortable, she almost wished she was back in her cell. She was surrounded by people and it wasn't helping her feel any safer. She needed get out of here. But where? She'd been caught once before, she didn't want to think about what would happen if she was caught again. The speaker had mentioned a base, somewhere where they were retreating to. It wasn't ideal, but it was better than nothing. She needed somewhere to get her bearings, to figure out what to do and where to go next. Modlen looked around uncertainly, looking for direction.

Xmen: Mutant Liberation Army

Modlen

Name: Modlen Christensen, "Moddy" for short.

Alias: None yet, she's working on it.

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Parents: Richard Christensen (a human male), mother unknown.

Powers and abilities:

Haemopotent Regeneration - Modlen can heal and regenerate using the blood of others. The amount of blood decides the speed of healing.

Disease Immunity/Carrier - A necessary secondary mutation involving Modlen's passive regeneration is immunity to all forms of disease, a useful immunity given the amount of diseases she would come into contact with. This does make her a carrier however for all kinds of diseases, especially those spread through blood.

Acrobatic - Moddy is quite a skilled acrobat. While not on the same level as someone like Nightcrawler, she has an incredible sense of balance and isn't easily disorientated.

Teleporation - Modlen can teleport to any location within her line of sight in a puff of red, bloody mist that smells strongly of iron. She can teleport over longer distances if she can see live footage of the location she wants to teleport to. Right now she can only teleport people or objects up to 160lbs in weight. Anything above that and... parts get left behind.

Personality: Modlen is quite introverted and distrustful. When around others she tends to become quite anxious, especially because of her appearance but also because she's afraid to speak out of fear of saying something 'wrong'. Her anxiety and nervousness tends to manifest as excitement, hyperactivity and uncertainty followed by spells of wallowing in self-doubt, criticism and paranoia over what people think of her.

Appearance:



Modlen stands at 5'11 and weighs roughly 140lbs. Her ears are pointed, her skin is stone-grey as are her eyes and she suffers from an very obvious case of pupula duplex. Her raven hair reaches the small of her back and, curiously enough, she seems to have dark grey freckles dot her nose and shoulders. She also sports a prehensile tail similar in appearance to Nightcrawler's. All of this is almost certainly due to her mother, since she bears little resemblance to her human father.

While she is quite self-conscious about her demonic appearance, she does still embrace it to a degree and it has helped shape her personality and likes. She listens to metal, industrial and heavier genres of music, but doesn't limit herself to those genres. She also typically wears a combination of black, green, red and purple as well as various heavy metal band shirts.

Moddy typically wears tabi, mostly because she grew up not wearing shoes very often and they're the only footwear that still allows her to feel the ground and feel sure of her footing, otherwise she is barefoot as often as possible. She also tends to wear cargo pants, largely because pants are easier to modify so she can free her tail. If she is wearing a dress or a skirt, however, she'll always be wearing a pair of tights underneath.

Equipment: Currently, the prison uniform on her back

Bio:

From the outside, Modlen came from a seemingly normal home. Her father had a successful job in IT and was well respected by his coworkers. As well as pitied. His wife had left him after Modlen was born, mostly due to the obviously mutant appearance of their daughter, leaving Modlen's father to raise her on his own. There was obvious distrust and bullying throughout much of Modlen's childhood, but the worst came from her father.
There was no denying that Modlen's appearance was somewhat demonic, especially with her grey skin and pointed tail, and her father was quickly taken in by a local church, becoming a born again believer, devout to a fault. His fellow church goers saw him as a pious man trying to do his best with an unclean child left behind by some harlot. Many would even go so far as to insinuate that Modlen was the result of some unholy coupling and that she was not really her fathers daughter. Her father was no better. He controlled much of her life at home. What she could wear, listen to and watch. Anything that was deemed to be "unholy" behaviour was dealt with harshly. Sometimes physically. Sometimes worse.

It was no surprise then when Modlen ran away when her powers manifested, first when the blood of the steak she placed on her eye healed her bruises and next when first teleported. The fear of her fathers reaction was too much and the knowledge that she could be healed with blood made her feel even less human.

It took less than a few days of being cold and hungry on the streets until Modlen started using her abilities to feed and clothe herself. First she started small, teleporting out of stores while holding food and other things. Eventually she upgraded to teleporting into electronics stores and stealing devices, selling them on the street. It was only a matter of time until the police caught on though. All it took was one officer hiding in the shadows with a taster and she was caught.

Her father wanted nothing to do with her at that point, which she had no problem with, and she was promptly locked away. After the first few times working through the pain of the collar to try to escape, she was soon placed in solitary confinement, where she has been ever since.

@TheUnknowable Picture and Equipment are up.

@TheUnknowable Just wanted to make sure the powers were okay before committing much else.

Dunno if it's needed, but since The Gifted universe is pretty dark, so is the bio here, so I don't know if this needs one of those trigger warnings.

Odd question, but would it be too much for a teleporter to be able to control swarms of insects and use the blood of others to heal?

Xmen: Mutant Liberation Army

Hi, putting my hand up as interested. I was thinking a teleporter currently held prisoner and placed in solitary confinement, due to the limits of her teleportation being line of sight or a place she can see live on screen (so a Skype call or something).

Music Appreciation Thread

@SleepingSilence

7/10. Interesting but not really grabbing me. About 54 seconds in it starts to get catchy but apart from the chorus it just doesn't seem to be my thing. It\s very atmospheric and calming, but I don't typically listen to calming, atmospheric music unless I'm in a specific mood.
