pssh that was scary!

(OLD) X-Men: The New Era (OLD)

Name: Astrid Renn

Nicknames/Aliases: Sparky, Lightning, Shock, Elf, Renn

X-Men Code Name: Sparks

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Physical Description:
Astrid is tiny, around 4'9". That is the one thing that is said about her the most. Skinny and short it's very easy for her to be missed in a large crowd. When she is not surrounded by 'giants,' as she calls everyone at a normal height, she tends to attract attention. Her hair is bright red, and she loves to keep it down, hanging to around mid-back. The intensity of the color brings out the paleness of her skin, making her seem almost paper white. The only alteration to her pale skin is a series of light freckles on either side of her petite nose. Her face is rather pretty with sharp eyebrows over large sky-blue eyes. Her eyes are always full of curiosity.

As for her non-immediate physical appearances Astrid has a series of piercings. The regular earlobe piercings in addition to three more on the left side, reaching up to the top of her ear. On her belly button she has a piercing of a small heart. Her ears are slightly pointed at the end, which in addition to her size gave her the nickname the elf.

Astrid's attire mostly consists of t-shirts and jeans. She doesn't care much for dresses or shorts, especially not short shorts. Her favorite color of all time is blue. When it gets cold she loves wearing hoodies that are way too big for her small size. She thinks it brings out for tiny size, making her look cuter.

Mutations: Astrid is like a battery. The electricity that she has stored inside of her she can manipulate in many ways. Unfortunately she can't create electricity and needs to constantly charge herself as a part of her daily diet. Without electricity in her system, her heart begins to fail, and she would quickly die. On the other hand, if she gets overcharged she gets a sort of high. Some of the examples of her using her power include shooting electricity, shocking people, and recharging objects.

Personality: Astrid's pretty socially awkward from all her time away from normal people. She tries to cover this up all the time, usually with hostility. When it comes to a fight, shes the first to swing a fist. It would be a pretty good bet to say she probably started it too. Just when talking to her, she usually comes off as angry or confused.

Background: Growing up, Astrid didn't get to live a normal life. She doesn't know if she was born there, but from her earliest memory Astrid had always lived in The Lab. The Lab was some kind of scientific research center that had been running tests on her for her whole life. It was on rare occasions that she saw another human being, usually meaning something bad. Another test.

Four years ago she finally managed to escape when her power manifested. Having absolutely no idea how she did it, all the power in the facility went out. Even the backup generators that where supposed to automatically click on in an emergency where dead. Astrid made quick work of the situation and escaped into the real world. For quite a while she lived between homes. People tried to take pity on the tiny girl, but she was always so hostile in return that she immediately turned them off. Eventually she made her way to the Ashford Institute for the Gifted. Hopefully she wouldn't have to run away from this place too.

Jack's smile grew as he heard her accent. Maybe Slavic, definitely cute. "I think that's a pretty cool power. You can travel the world, not have to deal with stupid flight procedures." He personally hated flying, at least in planes. Why wait in line for hours to get in a flying death machines that served terrible peanuts. Who liked peanuts?

As she asked about his power, Jack began to remove his hoodie. A black t-shirt showed itself underneath. "Haha, I like it. Your English is great. As for my power..." he gestured towards his chest where a red light could be seen throbbing. Slowly he lifted his hand till it was parallel with his body and watched as his veins lit up with the same glow. As it reached his fingers, they began to heat up. Closely a small flare sparked to life, flickering in the air. Concentrating the tiny flame grew on his pointer finger. "Fire. My powers fire. Not quite as original as converting yourself into electricity, but it keeps me warm at night." He laughed again, snuffing out the fire.

Jack meandered through the group of mutants towards the edge of the room. He struggling passed mutants of all different varieties, wishing his power included the ability to teleport. Working his way around a giant of a man, a tiny girl running around the room, nearly ran face first into his stomach. She bubbled off an introduction before bouncing away to the next closest person she could say hi to. Jack stood for a moment watching as she began crawling on the ground, stalking someone sitting on the couch.

Turning to the girl next to him he said, "She seems quite... energetic. You think her power's ADD?" He smiled at her and reached out a hand to shake. "My names Jack by the way." His eyes drifted down and caught upon some rubber bands around her wrist. Pointing towards them he asked, "Mind if I ask what those are for? Your not the superhero of rubber bands are you?"
