History:
User Image
Evelyn Penance Reed was born to Stephen and Helena Reed in Albany, NY. Her parents were working parents. Helena was a paramedic and Stephen was the CEO of a small marketing firm. Both of her parents were mutants; however, Stephen was never open about his healing abilities. Everything was normal about Evelyn's child hood. She went to an ordinary school in an ordinary suburb. She rebelled doing the ordinary things that a child would do. Life was nice. Life was fun and fine.

When Evie was 6, her life changed. Her father's company had started stumbling and he started staying away from home more and more. He had always been happy and enjoyed spending time with Helena and Evelyn; however, the household became more and more angry and less happy. As it turns out, Stephen was having an affair with his secretary, Darla Taylor. Darla was an independently wealthy woman who was mostly bored and had started working for Stephen for something to do. During the course of this affair, Darla offered to invest money in Stephen's company in exchange for his divorce and commitment to Darla and her daughter, Audrey. Stephen's company and money meant more than his family, and he divorced Helena before Evie's 7th birthday. He made very little contact with his daughter since that time. This left her feeling somewhat abandoned and angry despite Helena's constant attention.

Puberty hit at age thirteen which also included a slew of problems for Evelyn. Not only did she start building up the usual teenage angst, she also finally found out that she had two younger sisters that her father never allowed her to see. Emotions started to get the better of her, and during a soccer match in school, her mutant abilities started to kick in. The overwhelming feeling of the train wreck of sounds, being able to see fine details, smell everything in a twenty foot radius, feel every bead of sweat on her body, and taste the dust on the air shocked her system. She passed out in the middle of the match. The doctors at the hospital had a hard time giving her an IV because her healing ability also started surfacing and kept pushing the needle out of her arm.

Helena began to teach Evelyn, who had become more moody, how to control her abilities. Knowing that she didn't have all the answers, she decided to become proactive and look for somebody who had the experience to teach her daughter. At the age of 14, she was invited to the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning. Her counselor was Scott Summers, Cyclops. Her studies were initially mostly isolated because she had little control over her sensory skills. Sometimes she became so overwhelmed that telepaths like Jean Grey and Elisabeth Braddock would have to step in and help her control them. Feeling like she was an X-Men failure, Evelyn didn't associate with any other students of the school and kept to herself through her first year at the school.

During her second year, Evelyn began to gain more control over her abilities as she became the personal student of Psylocke (Elisabeth Braddock). She began to realize she had more skills than just sensory abilities. Psylocke began to teach her over the next two years how to become more stealth like and how to learn and become an expert at fighting styles. During her second year, she joined a student team with other mutants such as Alexander Williamson along with keeping her private studies. Her attitude became less moody and introverted. She started to become more of the no-nonsense, daredevil, and fun loving girl she was.

During her junior year, she dated an older classmate, Jonothan Starsmore on and off until he graduated for the X-Men team. She also became close with Sam Guthrie even if they never officially dated.

During her third year at the Institute, the attacks on New York by Magneto happened. Evelyn had been typically sheltered from any attacks on the Institute or X-Men activity, but many of the older students were drawn into this fight. She spent much of the time during that fateful day rescuing innocent civilians and mutants from rubble and getting them to safety. It was there she decided she wanted to truly be an X-Man in the future. That day was devastating to all mutants. While visiting friends in "Mutant Town" (located in New York) the following day, the house they were staying in was firebombed by an anti-mutant group. Everybody in the house made it out safely; however, when Evelyn arrived home at the Institute, she watched footage on the news about Genosha being razed by SHIELD in order to find Magneto. The worst part of the event was that her mother was one of the millions of mutants who were killed there. (Helena had been working as a paramedic on the island.)

At this time, she was moved to the New Mutants team of students under Cyclops. During the following months, she struggled to keep her team together and to help them grow. She has learned to focus most of her time and energy in solving other people's problems and helping them learn their abilities. Her lone goal is to be an X-Man and teacher upon graduating. Her focus has taken a toll on her personal relationships. Evie slowly has become a distant leader, but a loyal one.

After Evie graduated high school, she decided to stay at the Xavier Institute to pursue college courses. She was also promoted to a Junior X-Man along with her team. The New Mutants became that X-Men Alpha team.

During the following year, Evie learned that she had a wolf mutation. The first time this mutation came to light was under a stress training with Wolverine. She wanted the skill kept secret for the time being. Part of her felt it was an advantage to have a hidden skill and part of her didn't want to share until she understood it completely. To this date, only Wolverine, Cyclopse, Gideon and Bella know of the mutation.

Family: Father: Gerard Stone (slightly telepathic, agent for Mr. Sinister, deceased)
Mother: Calliope Colt-Stone (sensory mutation, librarian)
Brother: Colton Stone, 14 (sensory mutation, AX student, Excelsior team)
Half-Sister: Isabella Stone, 17 (sound manipulation mutation, AX student, Paragons team leader)
Cousin: Evelyn Reed, 17 (Thorne, AX student)

Superhuman Ability:

Siona's power has a base other than 'luck' on it's side. Whenever she first started generating her bubble, it is shown to have reality changing properties since it would change the way objects acted when it passed through the field around her.

Siona still has lucky feelings, but this is only a minor part of her ability. Her prime ability revolves around probability manipulate using the bubble she creates.

Note: All of Siona's powers rely on three things: her ability to concentrate, her energy level, and she must calculate the mathematical probability that the effect she intends to create will actually happen, with the more unlikely the effect, the more complex the mathematical formula. [If she does the math wrong, the effect may not be complete or may backfire totally. Some things she already has formulas memorized for with the help of Dr. McCoy.]

- Probability Shield: This is a reality altering bubble that Siona can create around herself. It appears almost like a soapy bubble would so it i is visible to those who look at her. Anything within her field (which she can only extend the bubble around herself to maybe include four other people). She can make herself levitate with this field around her; however, she often doesn't use it because it is an energy drainer.

- Probability Bubbles: Using her hands, Siona can send out a probability bubble to objects/people who are within sight and within fifty yards. Her intellect, concentration and energy determine whether or not what she wants to happen will happen.

- Lucky Instincts: Siona retains her ability to have gut instincts about things and things to fall into place for her

(As her mastery increases, the range of her power will increase and the ease at which she can use her powers.)

Non-mutant skills:

Bo staff (beginner)
Guns (master)
Bow/Arrow (intermediate)

Despite her ability to control the odds, Siona is skilled at playing poker, Texas Hold 'em, and other card games. She has one of the best poker faces at the table. She is a skilled horse back rider.

Power Levels:
Physical Strength (1-10): 4
Speed (1-10): 4
Durability (1-10): 5
Intelligence (1-10): 5
Energy (1-10): 6
Agility (1-10): 5
Power Mastery (1-20): 9
(Total of 37 of 45 maximum points

[Personal Strengths: Siona does not rely on her power to get a job done. More often than not, she may use her other skills before trying to use her powers. She can be very down to Earth. Happy-go-lucky and ready to dive into an adventure.

Personal Weaknesses: Siona is a do or die kind of person and will exert her powers to exhaustion to get a task done. Her powers are very draining. Siona also still acts on whims and often times doesn't quite step into the team role.

Personality: Siona Stone loves to have fun. Her Texas-girl laugh is very noticeable around the Institute. Don't let appearances fool you. She may look like the maiden in distress, but Siona has bite. She used to be the selfish girl who did what she had to to get what she wants, but now she is more of a team player even if she has tendencies to get her own way.

Hobbies: Gambling, horses (her horse Molly Sunrise is housed in the stables), dare devil stunts with her cousin

View of Mutant/Human Relations: Siona believes in survival. If mutants end up on top, then great. If humans, then that's fine, she just didn't try hard enough to survive.

History: Maybe her father's occupation was a sign of what her mutation would be. Siona was born in Dallas, Texas and spent much of her childhood hanging around her father at poker matches. Even as a child, she started to know how to play the game. Her mother never really approved of her father's antics and divorced Donovan when Siona was eight. Calliope moved her daughter to New York to be near her sister and Siona's cousin, Evelyn. Siona confided in her cousin her misery in New York. Her father was more fun and more free. He also never did anything to put Siona in harms way.

At the age of 10, Siona ran away from home and met up with her father in Las Vegas. Knowing that her daughter would run again, if she brought the law in, Calliope agreed to give Donovan join custody of Siona. During the summer months of the year, Siona would spend time with him and learn all she could about his trade. When she was 12, her mutant ability started to come to light and she quickly gained the nickname "Lady Luck." Siona was so innocent in what she was doing, that things always seemed to go her way. It wasn't until she was older and started becoming more careless and selfish, that her powers didn't seem to be the greatest in the world.

When she was 14, Siona's father was arrested for running an illegal gambling ring. Her mother forced her back to New York. While attending high school, she started her own underground gambling circuit and became a formidable foe. Although, she often was known for losing big while seemingly having a hot streak. Most people seemed to gravitate towards her because of her Texas charm even though she was formidable. Siona always considered herself fortunate that she could hide her mutant abilities.

At 15, she was offered a position at the Xavier Institute at the behest of her cousin. Siona rejected the offer feeling like she'd be expected to be a goody two shoes and would have to quit the activities that she loves. During the Genosha incident, Siona was stuck in "Mutant Town." While trying to leave the city, she and her companions were attacked by several mutant haters. Siona had no problem using her ability to bring down a house on the men by strategically throwing a lit cigarette causing an explosion. Survival was her only concern. She then took Emma Frost's recruitment offer for the Institute. With students of all types entering, she was sure she wouldn't have to change who she was to ensure she had a warm bed and a meal on the table.

While on the Hellions, Siona went with the team to Genosha on a humanitarian effort. Here she was kidnapped by a deranged mutant named Sugar Man. He used a syrum and transformed her into the worst vision of herself: a ruthless mutant named Roulette. Roulette had Siona's power but amped up to perfection and to a point where she could force bad luck on others. With the help of the New Mutants and Hellions, Roulette was defeated and reverted back to Siona's form but not without it's consequences.

After this event, Siona became distant, moody, and paranoid. All of which were a far cry from the happy-go-lucky cowgirl. Slowly, she started to regain herself while not forgetting what happened to her. These experiences started to bring out a side in Siona where she began to have more regard for her teammates and the people around her. The biggest key to this was that during the curing process, she discovered she was related to Isabella Stone which seemed an impossible feat since both have clear visions of their father that don't coincide.

During a trip to Las Vegas, Siona managed to take home the top prize in a million dollar pot. While the event was going on, Siona's teammates were being captured by an unknown enemy and some turned into vile soldiers like she once had. With the quick thinking of Isabella, Siona, Tath, and Forellen, the team planned an escape only to be stopped by these super soldiers. In the fight to save their friends, Siona was responsible for giving Thomas and Michael the antidotes to start their turn back to good. This was a significant change in character for her. Prior to her studies at the Institute, Siona would have had no qualms about running and saving herself despite the others.

User ImageName: Forellen De’Lark
Codename: Blight

Academy X Student Team: Hellions

Age: 18
Birthday: Oct 12
Hair: White
Eyes: Blue
Skin Tone: light tan
Height: 5’ 6”
Weight: 122 lb
Build: Slim
Race/Nationality: French
Noteable Characteristics: White hair
Uniform: Standard Omega team uniform
Standard Dress: Jeans, usually found wearing a heavy sweatshirt or some kind of long sleeve shirt

Place of Birth: Paris France
Family:

Father: Jonathan L De’Lark (No known mutation)
Mother: Cassandra C De’Lark (No known mutation)
Brother: Joseph C De’Lark (No known mutation)

Superhuman Ability: Viralkynesis. Forellen has the ability to absorb, store and manipulate viral DNA. With a touch and some time she can draw out any kind of viral infection from a person. Once she’s drawn it out her body attacks the virus and breaks it down. Once it’s broken down a sampling of its DNA and is then stored within her cells genetic memory. At will whenever she touches someone her body can manufacture an altered version of the virus and then inject it into the person she’s in contact with. Once infected the virus spreads rapidly through the victims’ body. Within anywhere from ten to fifteen minutes the person has a full-blown case of whatever Forellen infected them with. This lasts anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour, depending on how healthy a person is, before the virus burns itself out regardless of what she infected them with.

Because of the exposure to several very potent mutantagenic virus’s over the course of her year here Forellen’s power has adapted the ability to manufacture her own virus. This allows her to tailor a disease to a specific person or situation. Forellen is showing signs of developing the ability to shoot off poison bolts. Currently with her level of control she can only secrete a sticky liquid from her hands that dissolves on contact with skin. With a higher level of control (Probably around 10 to 12) she’ll start being able to actually develop the ‘bolts’ that her power would use.

User Image

Abilities (not gained from mutation): Forellen is a very gifted artist. Well versed in a multitude of techniques she’s quite talented with a pain and easel. She is also a decent singer and not to bad at playing piano.

Non-Mutant Skills

Self-defense (beginner)
Small weapons (beginner)

Power Levels:

Third Year Student: 35-40 points

Physical Strength (1-10): 3
Speed (1-10): 3
Durability (1-10): 2
Intelligence (1-10): 5
Energy (1-10): 4
Agility (1-10): 3
Power Mastery (1-20): 8

Personal Strengths: Forellen is a very intelligent and strong willed young lady. Slow to anger and very calm she’s almost never in a panic over a situation allowing her to make quick decisions in a chaotic situation.

Personal Weaknesses: Forellen is not physically gifted. She’s small, light and not very robust making her the slowest of whatever group she happens to be a part of. Her frail physical nature makes her an easier target for enemies and means that she needs someone with her on most missions to ensure that no harm comes to her.

Personality: Forellen is a very refined young lady. Having been raised by her parents to be a proper lady she has a very aristocratic personality. She’s very polite to her elders and people in positions of authority. She however can come off as snobbish or aloft to her peers but she’s really quite pleasant to be around.

Hobbies: Forellen enjoys painting and drawing.

Mutant/Human Relations View: Does your character care? Do they believe in harmony? Do they believe in mutant domination? Forellen is a live and let live kind of person. Though she believes that if it takes a display of strength to achieve peace then so be it.

History:

Forellen was born to two very upper class citizens in Paris France. She was a preemie born almost two months too soon. During those first few tentative weeks of her life she was confined to a respirator. Doctors didn’t give her much of a chance to survive and they said if she did then she’d be either physically or mentally handicapped. She not only survived but she proved them quite wrong. On a mental level that is. Physically she wasn’t very robust.

As far as life went her parents were delighted that she had survived and had done their best to give her one of the best education that they could. Despite her beating the odds against her Forellen was always in and out of the hospital due to her frail physical nature. As she got older though the trips to the hospital became less frequent and it could also be noted that she was never in the hospital for any kind of illness. It was always her getting hurt somehow either by falling or trying to rough house with brother and his friends.

With all the medical and blood work done on her during her life her parents had been informed ahead of time that her child was different. Her parents shrugged this off but did their daughters uniqueness away from proper society. Forellens’ education was done mostly through a tutor. She was a very bright student getting above average grades. Her mother and father also taught her how to be a proper lady. Delighted that their daughter was not only scholastically gifted but that she was also artistically gifted they began to put her through different courses, art, music and even singing lessons. She favored art and singing and while she was taught to play piano she herself found it a little boring for her tastes.

It was about the time that the massacre at Genosha happened. It took a month or two for her parents to begin to see the ripples from the repercussions of that day. Forellens’ gift as it had been identified years before and her parents had been doing a good job of keeping it a secret decided that it was time to look for someplace to send their daughter. With such a heightened state of what could almost be described as paranoia regarding mutants Forellens’ parents feared for their daughters’ safety. As if by fate one day they received a letter of acceptance from Academy X. It would seem that a friend of Forellens’ family decided to go ahead and enroll Forellen. Grateful her parents quietly helped her pack and then helped her on her way.

During her first year at the academy Forellen felt she had been thrown into this whole thing without much warning. From the first capture the flag exercise to there graduation from academy students to actual X-men. It had been a long and chaotic year but a good year over all. She made many new friends. Siona, Isabella, Gideon and even Narcissa and Anna were counted amongst them. After their graduation Forellen made use of their summer vacation to treat her friends with two weeks in Paris France. Unfortunately due to a few mishaps on the part of US immigrations Forellen couldn’t return to school right away. Being a French citizen they were giving her a hard time with the necessary paperwork that would allow her to come and go as she needed. But that was just a small hickup in her life that was quickly cleared up and she was allowed to return to school.
