Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: Kimki Jordan, little sister xxxxxFriends: James Gray, Shiloh Jaden (begrudgingly) xxxxxCurrent Team: Briquets xxxxxFormer Teams: Oracles xxxxxEnemies: Dominik Edipova
History ______________________________ xxxxx Growing up, Mathis had the average american life; friends, school and a disfunctional family to boot. His mother worked part time at the local mart, being that she didn't graduate from high school, and a cashier was the best that she could hope to achieve. His father squandered what little finances he earned on alcohol, and while he wasn't a violent drunk, he wasn't dependable to go to work the next day. Because of this, Dave (the Jordan children's father) wasn't able to hold a job for long.
This often caused for Patty, Mathis' mother to be the main breadwinner of the household; but, with her meager earnings, she could not keep the creditors at bay, and they often lived in squalor. For the vast majority of his and Kimki's childhood, the Jordans were nomads in the bowels of San Francisco.
Tired of the nomadic way of life, Mathis took it upon himself to uproot the girl one last time and provide for her in the best way that he knew how. On his eighteenth birthday, Mathis demanded that his parents sign over their parental rights and custody to him, because they failed at providing a stable life for themselves, and were otherwise incapable of seeing to a child's basic needs. Mathis did what he could to care for his younger sister, using his uncanny and inexiplicable abilities to fix broken computers and such to pay rent while he made his way to graduation.
Once out of high school, Mathis enrolled in the local community college, taking out enough student loans to pay the bills while he focused on his studies and set a good premise for what he expected Kimki to do in the following years. Mathis chose Mechanical Engineering Tech. as his field of choice, hoping that if he understood how gadgets and mechanics worked, he might be able to understand what were the extent of his abilities. This effort was less than fruitful; while he could accomplish some things, like breaking into security without being caught, he was not able to stop himself from the constant electric waves that tended to be drawn to him if he didn't focus on what he was doing.
He finished his degree, and made his way into the cubicle lifestyle, all the while trying to gain control of his abilities to no avail. Mathis was introduced to the idea of the X-men when approached by some sneaky fellow in the alley on his way home from his tiny little office space, telling him of some people who might be able to help him understand what was normally just a major inconvenience to himself. Hence, him joining the base for mutants in SF, California. Kimki is off to college, and now is the perfect time for him to try to understand what has been given to him.
Mutation: Technopathy__________ xxxxx Technopathy is the psychic ability to sense and control the functions of electronic devices requiring only physical or mental contact with the device, to potentially override security codes and infiltrate an installation with ease by manipulating any electronic device, or sense the presence of electronics (even artificial intelligence).
xxxxxxxxStrengths: Technology Manipulation- the mental manipulation of electronic/digital technology, so they can be controlled without need for physical contact, and can be made to function/malfunction according to the user’s will, even being moved and controlled like puppets. Currently, He's got it in him to make a small, simple gadget do something it wasn't meant for, example being using the frequencies in a cell phone to convert it to a control for a security system if he takes it apart and rebuilds it. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: He's not perfected it yet, and tends to get electrecuted with his efforts. Rebuilding takes time, and he tends to hurt himself (and others if they are stupid enough to get close to someone who doesn't rightly know exactly what he's doing) in the process.
He can only turn things on and off with his mind. The rest of it comes from crossing wires and inputting what he actually wants the object to do. In other words. He has to have it in his grubby hands to manipulate it.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 8 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 3 xxxxxSpeed: 3 xxxxxAgility: 3 xxxxxDurability: 2 xxxxxEndurance: 4 xxxxxPower Mastery: 7
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes:Anything fried: Oreoes to twinkies. It's pretty much only due to his high metabolism that he's not two hundred pounds overweight. Reading, as no bodily harm comes from a book. Indie music Doting upon his little sister Classic Cars. Working on cars Playing pranks on Kimki Keeping Kimki away from boys Oddly enough, he doesn't mind his job
xxxxxDislikes: His Cell phone. Computers. Green Vegetables Heavy metal Getting shocked Snakes Jeff Dunham Not being able to control his abilities any further than he does Kimki dating. xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Like many engineers, Mathis isn't overly social. Not because he has some sort of weird quirk that makes him completely and unbearably shy, but because he hasn't had the time to pick up anything beyond basic social skills, especially around women. (He tends to shut down around them, and speak as though he were a computer as a defense) This of course, might cause people to be offended.. but honestly, Kimki likes him well enough to keep him around, so he thought that he was just fine socially. Mathis is always up for a laugh, but is responsible as he grew up in an environment that he needed to be. He can be cheeky, and may come off as a bit of an a**.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Black with gold accents xxxxxEquipment: None as of yet. xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: Very adept at mechanics xxxxxOther:

History ______________________________ xxxxx Obviously, by the looks of him, Peta is not a full blooded native; his father was a pale face, but his mother loved him deeply enough to go against what was expected of her, and married him anyway. She had three sons in their union, but the reservation life (which they were not permitted because her husband was not part of the tribe) called to her, and they eventually separated, because the pair was worlds apart. The tribe allowed for her to come back, boys in tow after a long tribal council meeting on whether or not they would allow half breeds to diminish the purity of their tribe. Eventually, they came to terms that they could accept; the boys would be considered kin, but at the age of 20 they were to decide if they belong to the tribe or to the white men. Once decided, they could not go back as their mother had.
Until then, the three boys -Peta being the eldest- were to grow up as a Blackfoot should, and they would learn in the exclusive setting the ways of the tribe. They'd hear the stories of Napi (Old Man; their creator), they'd learn to hunt, the importance of buffalo, the mountains and the plains, and more importantly, the sun. For the average Blackfoot, the sun held the greatest importance of the circle of life. It was brought their crops to fruition, brought the smile to women's faces, and warmed their flesh to comfort. And in the colder months, those few sunny days provided hope of better times that would come if they'd only endure.
Winters brought bitter lessons, and often the reservation ran scarce of food, and the Montana snow storms kept them frozen, but forced them to brave the harsh and accosting weather conditions. But, as most children did, he failed to see that life could have been better. Like most, he just took it for what it had to offer, and learned to enjoy the mountainous region with skiing, and icefishing. But as the summer ended on his fifteenth year, dreams of Na pi came to him while he slept under the stars, bringing images of him growing in size, to heights that towered over the Chippelay trees, but then he'd shrink to where he could house himself beneath the knots of the tree roots. The images were as consistent as his ever changing height; he'd be two heads taller than his mother one day, and then eye level with his younger brothers in the next day. It was odd to be sure, and when brought forth in front of the council, it was said that Cree had blessed him with an ability.
So in the course of the next three years, Peta worked diligently on controlling this latent power, bringing himself to greater heights, to a miniature scale, only to have something go inevitably wrong with the shifting. Often times, only part of him would shift; his head would grow to the size of a melon before he could correct it. While he could accomplish being smaller on a regular basis, growing any bigger than his normal size caused issues that he couldn’t quite grasp control of. In the midst of practicing his archery, reservation life, and his shifting, Peta graduated high school, and once again Napi approached him in his dreams, informing him that he’d not be able to master his skills within the constraints of the tribe, that he’d have to find somewhere else to help him. There were people that could coax control out of him, carve the ability into something useful.
Peta researched, using a library off of the reservation for a computer, and after a strenuous search he found something like what the Old Man had whispered during the nights that he slept. He applied, and with a few scholarships and scraping money up from working off the reservation (gasp!), Peta was able to make his way to New York, leaving behind the beauty that the Western horizon contained.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peta soon learned the ways of schools that didn't revolve around the exclusivity of his heritage, and enjoyed very thoroughly his time in Academy X, namely due to the pretty girls, and his reconnecting with a childhood friend. But once he had graduated, and sufficiently learned to harness his powers (this is not to say that he doesn't have issues at times), Peta returned to his home in Montana, assuming the responsibilities of a man in the tribe. Shortly after, the X-men team approached him, and they asked for his assistance for a particular problem. He left with them, intending to come home for good once everything was kosher with the X-men. However, as was status quo for the team, one problem lead to another, and then another, and... (vicious cycle).
And then San Francisco branch began to have issues, especially with their leaders going AWOL. Two of the teams had been without leaders for so long, that they asked this one last favor of him before he could return to the mountainous regions that called to him so. But upon inspection of who was in charge there, Peta had absolutely no qualms about hitting the west coast. Shandra Tarvan. She was one of his best friends, and he rushed in to aid the ailing leader.
So he'd transferred temporarily, just to help Aegis adjust to a new leader.
However, he took two weeks vacation between his last job and what is supposed to be his final job, and returned home. Tired of Peta's lack of loyalty to the tribe, the elders have decided to wait no longer for his return, and the decision is made for him not to ever return as a member of their people.
Stuck in San Fran with no place to go, Aren took on the role of the leader full time, having had the one leader flaking out. He chose to date the girl who had fled the position, despite still having deeply rooted feelings for what had been his unofficial sweetheart for the better part of his time at the academy. Thinking their relationship a hopeless cause as she'd never sought him out to tell him how she felt, Aren insisted upon moving on.
Currently, he's doing a long distance relationship with Melody, while Cissa is still so very close.
Mutation: Size shifting. __________ xxxxx Size shifting the ability to use psionic power to increase/decrease one’s size at will. Sometimes the user can only become larger (called Growing, Enlargement or Magnification) or only become smaller (called Shrinking, Diminution or Miniaturization) and then go back to normal size. However, it is most common that one can actually choose between shrinking and growing to the desired size.
xxxxxxxxStrengths: With change of size, Aren's statistics change. When he grows in size, his strength and durability increase. When he shrinks, his stealth and agility increase. This allows him to be versatile. Aren can choose at will to increase/decrease one part of him over the rest.
xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: Increasing size, or multiple changes without time between them takes a toll on his endurance. Most often he is required to shrink instead of grow, so his strength goes down.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 4 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 5 xxxxxSpeed: 5 xxxxxAgility: 5 xxxxxDurability: 7 xxxxxEndurance: 6 xxxxxPower Mastery: 13
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes:Fishing Soccer Still loves pretty women Mountains Being outdoors xxxxxDislikes: Overly confident men. Assuming any permanent responsibility for X men Coleslaw Bookkeeping Antonio Vasquez
xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Aren is quick to crack a joke when he can, meriting him the description of charming. He's responsible, good with his hands. The man is full of pride about his roots, and is happy to share stories from his tribe. A loyal friend, X-men often takes a toll on his conscience because he is a peaceful man.

No set fighting styles. Is trained in several forms of weaponry. She is trained in a few basic fighting styles… She has leaned to defend herself very well. She can fence at a professional level, A few forms of martial arts, and Judo. She is also trained in military grade weaponry, small guns, and large. She can recognize certain explosives on sight.
Whips are a side hobby.
Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: All Deceased. xxxxxFriends: Aren...Perhaps Sirius. Other than that...Diamond Hieress’ Don’t Have Friends…They’ve Servants. xxxxxCurrent Team: N/A xxxxxFormer Teams: Hellion, Omega, X-Force xxxxxEnemies: Magneto, Sinister, Belasco, the Shadow King, Several members of Hellfire…The list goes on.
History ______________________________ xxxxx Narcissa was born in London, England-- The land of rain and tweed. She grew up with a very peaceful, if not completely normal life. Her mother works for Narcissa’s grandfather, Christopher Zale. Her mother originally came from the United States, but Christopher had decided that ‘Zales Diamonds’ needed to expand Internationally. Elizabeth was chosen of her other two siblings to begin the corporation in London-- And while there met one of the top curators for the British Museum ‘London’ Branch. Carlisle Stone was a sweet man, funny-- Who never seemed to look his age. Elizabeth was taken with him, and not a year later they were married.
Life for Narcissa was easy, and perfect. She spent summers in the United States with her Grandfather, and went to London Elementary, and London Middle school during the year. She kept up her grades, and formed her own circle of friends- Though some were more vapid than others. Her parents tried to raise an unspoiled knowledgeable child-- And they partially succeeded. She was very, very intelligent. But at the same time, she became very spoiled, used to getting her way.
It was seven months after her 12th birthday that Carlisle was called by a the Columbian Museum curator-- They were friends, and often shared new finds. This time Rafael Bole had found something that he said Carlisle needed to ’See to believe’. So Narcissa and her parents arranged to fly over, as school was out at that time… Their flight went down, and tragically Narcissa was the only person to survive the fiery crash. She was left to the care of her Grandfather, as her parents will stated and was pulled from school, and the life she knew to life with him in the United States.
She lived the life of luxury…Never wanting for anything. But without the parents that loved her, it still didn’t mean the same thing anymore. She became cold, and an icon in the media. They focused on every move because of the tragedy, because she was the only one that had survived. Also because she had never really been in the limelight before. For some reason, although all the appropriate documents existed--Her birth was kept a secret. And it was around the time that paparazzi started losing interest in the sole Diamond Heiress for the Zales Corporation when strange things started happening… She started noticing that her bed sheets had burn marks on them in the morning… Smoke would rise from things she touched.
Christopher Zales caught on to her problems, and waited to see if they developed into anything else. He was an open minded man that had heard of mutants, and when Narcissa shot a beam of pure light out of her hand that burned cleanly through a wall, he contacted Charles Xavier.
From there she was sent to the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, beginning her first year at the age of thirteen.
From there she attended all of her junior high, and high school years at the Xavier Institute. Her powers developed wildly, quickly… Proving that she was far more than a simple pyrokinetic as her early signs had suggested. She trained over the years with the powerful telepaths in the school to resist telepathic intrusions and assaults—Due to the dangerous nature of her ability. If in the wrong hands, the results of her powers are devastating.
The relationships she has formed over the years are few and tenuous...There are many reasons for this, but one of the worst was that she isn't exactly human. She is part of a botched science project, so she thinks, made of superior, perfect beings. Rather than giving her a superiority complex, or making the one she has already worse-- She views herself as a defective human.
She has stayed 'friends' with several members of the NY office, and the new San Francisco base over the years. One of these individuals in Shandra Tarvan. Most of the teachers and senior members of the X-Men know her by name, having trained her, and also by reputation. Another dear friend to her in the immortal Sirius Rayne...Their relationship, for the most part is platonic-- Though the way they act around one another tells a different story. She has an on again, off again secretly star crossed relationship with one of her school mates from her Academy days. Peta "Aren" Aquene....It is a turbulent, and occasionally dysfunctional matter. Having accidentally bonded the two of them together with her powers, they've been dealing with it for years. The only thing that remains clear is that they still do care for one another deeply, and that their bond has not faded in the slightest. They had stopped seeing one another completely, just before Aren decided to continue his life on the reservation. Technically, her status is single.
She joined the X-Force (Earning the nickname 'Destroyer'), and attended whichever local college was available—Graduating just in time to lose her Grandfather to cancer, she is also the head of the Zales Corporation. Stationed in San Francisco, where their main office is held, she holds a permanent residence there, belonging to her Grandfather. She cannot bare to sell it, as it was part of her family… And there are so few of her family members left.
She made many revelations over the years about herself…And about her life. Many things that shook her to the core, and led her into obscurity… But she is a better, more efficient person, now knowing that much of her past was… Incorrect. Because of this she often seems wiser than her age should permit…Although, she is not known for her nicer qualities.
Nearing her twenty fifth birthday, she heard that there was a San Francisco branch of the X-Men opening… And couldn’t stop herself from checking into it. They were well funded… But still seemed to be lacking, many things. A call from Psylocke in the middle of the night sent her flying to the Compound's front doors... If the situation was that urgent... That Betsy Braddock called her for help... She couldn't refuse.
Instead of sitting behind a corporate desk all day, she decided to do something useful… And offer her particular talents.
Mutation: Absorption and Redistribution of all Ambient/Celestrial Energy__________ xxxxx The most notable source of energy to her is the sun. Narcissa’s cells are constantly absorbing , among other things, solar energy-- And much like a plant they store it. She is akin to walking nuclear warfare. When her ability is in full swing, her touch, and soon enough her presence is lethal.-- An inferno in her wake. If fully unleashed, she is a barely contained super nova. She can boil water just by being too near to it-- Turn sand to glass just by walking across it..
The light that she emits is pure white in color. Solar energy is naturally white, but when seen though the atmosphere it appears yellow. It does not take on another color until it starts to burn. Her body serves as a livewire conduit, that absorbs energy and redistributes it in its natural form-- Though obviously on a lesser scale. Once the energy is absorbed, it becomes a part of her-- Fused with her cells. If she isn’t careful, she can easily set things on fire. Quite a power house, no part of her can be touched if she looses control. The energy flows out from her quickly-- In searing waves, almost a plasma form, and burns everything that isn’t smart or fast enough to get away to a cinder. Most regular flame will not harm her—It feels like a breeze. Water tends to evaporate before it touches her..
She does have a natural psionic focus that allows her to direct the energy—And can redistribute it in a variety of ways. Some lethal, some not. It depends on what level of heat or force she puts into it. To kill, or to give first degree burns…
She can also manipulate energy within individuals-- Any energy is subject to her command. Generally she uses this to track others, or to restore their natural balance. She cannot heal wounds, but she can assist with things like exhaustion. Useful, when considering how many mutants push themselves past their limits. xxxxxxxxStrengths: Her powers would be more of a problem, if she didn’t have such a tight rein on them. She is accurate, fast, and deadly. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: If she is locked in the darkness too long, she will grow tired, and eventually ill. Night is hard for her-- She can feel the sun setting, her main power source, like a kick to the stomach. Although if the moon is present, and unhidden, the reflected light-- Though less powerful than the sun, is more than enough to sustain her.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 6 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 3 xxxxxSpeed: 3 xxxxxAgility: 5 xxxxxDurability: 4 xxxxxEndurance: 7 xxxxxPower Mastery: 16
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: She is VERY strong willed. She ALWAYS gets what she wants. She likes to read on her own time, the sun shining, other strong people, the truth, appearances, and to play the cello. She likes complicated individuals... And values true friendship, the unbreakable kind, over any material thing. xxxxxDislikes: Darkness. Weak willed individuals, or know-it-alls. Disrespectful individuals. People who pretend to be something they clearly are not. xxxxxGeneral Disposition: She is a very complex individual… She often says things that mean something entirely different, and tends to not know when to back down. There are only two directions with her. She can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. There is no middle ground. She keeps up the appearance of being a cold business woman, but only as far as she needs to. There is a sassy vixen behind that layer of ice, and a Machiavellian state of mind. She has a certain knack for feminine wiles that work on any living creature.
She has a problem with authority—Generally believing she is above it, and appearing to think that about most people for that matter. She has the skills, the training, and the knowledge of how to read and play other individuals to her advantage. The queen of mind games, few know whether to love or hate her…
She is always dressed in the best, usually in one of a kind items-- With the labels hand sewn in by popular designer's, instead of the disgusting 'copies' that are often sold. Her sense of style is very astute-- Although she would never admit that it is simply because she likes to keep up the appearance of being completely flawless.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Black xxxxxEquipment: None, an occasional gun…But nothing noted. xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: Plays the Cello xxxxxOther: She is very resistant to telepathic intrusion because of the destructive nature she contains, and intense training in her school age years.

History ______________________________ xxxxx Alexander was born in Miami, Florida to a Scottish drunk and a local high school student, both fans of deathrock music. A year after Alex's birth, his father abandoned Hortensia, leaving her to raise the child on her own. After a few years Hortensia eventually met and married a local martial arts and kendo instructor by the name of Kenji Hamada, who eventually grew to love Alexander as his own son, making him his own personal kendo student. A few days after Alex's 16th birthday, Blake would eventually return, demanding to see his son. After a few confrontations, Blake eventually came to Hortensia's house, armed with a pistol, and shot the entire family to death, including Alex as well as his grandmother, who was visiting for Alex's birthday.
As Alex laid there dying, he cried out for help until his breath would eventually fail him. A few minutes later, what appeared to be a dozen or so black widows crawled onto his neck and bit him. Amazingly, he did not die. Instead, he felt the bullets on his chest being ejected from his body, as well as his injuries healing quickly. Coming to his senses, he grabbed his stepfather's most prized possession, a katana, and ran out to follow his father. As he followed, he realized he somehow knew exactly where his father was, as he could see him from flashing images in his mind from the perspective of the proverbial fly on the wall.
Alex caught up to his father and, without hesitation, ruthlessly cut out Blake's throat. In his anger he didn't realize the swarms of spiders of all different species following him. A few minutes after watching his father die by his blade, Alex suddenly heard whispers in his head, hundreds upon thousands of them. It took only a few minutes of common sense and deduction to realize these whispers came from the spiders all around him. It was apparent that he could somehow communicate with the creatures mentally. He didn't understand how, but he accepted it. In his anger, he ordered all the spiders to devour the corpse of his father as he ran away back home.
He packed his belongings and left home, eventually wandering throughout the United States as a drifter. In his travels he learned different skills, including hustling in bar room games for money and street fighting. He would also kill local drug dealers and other criminals and steal their money, using said money to buy himself a motorcycle to ease his travels. Eventually, while at a hotel in Texas, he heard about an X-Men branch in San Fransisco with fellow mutants like himself from a suspicious phone call. Out of a combination of curiosity and suspicion he decided to investigate.
Mutation: Venomancy__________ xxxxxAlexander's body has a special relationship with venom. This relationship allows him certain abilities. The primary benefit to this ability is an advanced superhuman healing factor which only works when there is venom present in his bloodstream. This healing factor boosts the natural regeneration cycle to superhuman levels, allowing him to heal wounds much faster than humanly possible. So long as venom is present in his bloodstream, his body will work to correct any "mistakes" in his biology(by fighting off fatigue toxins, healing cuts, eliminating infections, etc.). How fast a wound heals depends on the wound itself and how much venom is needed to correct it. The venom in his body essentially "burns up" as it is used to heal him; when it is in his body and is not actively healing him, it is essentially on reserve.
Another ability granted by his power is one he likes to call venomopathy. This ability is essentially a form of telepathy that lets him mentally communicate with and control creatures that are venomous. In his current state, he can only use this ability with arachnids and snakes. On a personal level, he has a preference for spiders and will use them almost all the time. xxxxxxxxStrengths: His advanced healing factor can heal just about any wound if given the right amount of venom. He can use controlled creatures as spies or scouts, or even as field medics, as the situation may call for. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: His healing factor depends on venom being present in his bloodstream; without venom in his blood he heals just like an average human. Also, how fast he heals depends on how potent the venom is, how much of it is being pumped through his blood, and where it is being pumped. His telepathy has a limited range of just over a mile. His venom-triggered healing factor also causes a reverse effect whenever healing agents(such as any kind of medicine, even something as simple as and aspirin) are present, where healing agents would instead harm or even kill Alex(this doesn't include natural hormones, supplements, or vitamins ingested through food), depending on the dosage.

Biography______________________________ xxxxxName: Tsukasa Watanabe xxxxxAliases: Subject 13 xxxxxCodename: Zero xxxxxPlace of Birth: Madripoor City, Madripoor xxxxxBirthday: August 14 xxxxxCitizenship: Madripoorian
Appearance______________________________ xxxxxGender: Male xxxxxAge: 26 xxxxxRace: Asian (Japanese/Madripoorian) xxxxxHeight: 1.75 m xxxxxWeight: 180 lbs. xxxxxHair Color: black xxxxxEye Color: Dark brown xxxxxBuild: Extremely athletic xxxxxComplexion: Very light tan xxxxxOther Attributes: HYDRA tattoo over his right shoulder blade
Education and Occupation (if any):_______________ xxxxxWork: None; Occasionally works freelance assignments for S.H.I.E.L.D. xxxxxSchools: Was privately tutored in most school subjects by HYDRA-employed educators xxxxxTraining: Trained in various forms of close-quarters combat, particularly the Keysi Fighting Method and Krav Maga, as well as stealth and military tactics; but most of his training is in most known fire-arms and projectile weapons of all kinds, as well as throwing projectiles, all of which work naturally with his mutation
Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: His parents are both deceased, unbeknownst to him he has an illegitimate sister named Chihiro Itagaki xxxxxFriends: None he could name xxxxxCurrent Team:Karabelas Leader xxxxxFormer Teams: HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D., X-Men reserves xxxxxEnemies: HYDRA, Madame Hydra, The Von Strucker family
History ______________________________ xxxxx Most of Tsukasa’s memories prior to his training and experimentation by HYDRA are unknown to him, as they have been erased from his brain altogether. Tsukasa was born to a low-level Japanese-born enforcer to a local drug lord and his girlfriend, a Madripoorian bar tender, in Madripoor City’s Lowtown. As comes naturally to the poorer half of Madripoor, he grew up surrounded by and desensitized to the common sights of street crime and violence, and so developed a rather cold attitude not common among most children. His father was rarely around and he often had to learn things on his own.
Not long after his tenth birthday his mutant ability revealed itself during a school baseball game, in which he accidentally curved the ball to strike one of the other students in the head, not killing him but making him suffer much brain damage. Their ears not far behind, HYDRA eventually sent agents to kill the boy’s family and kidnap him for their behavioral experiments. Their experiments were successful on most humans, but they’d wanted to try it on the various types of superhumans; Tsukasa was chosen to be the mutant subject, the thirteenth in total.
For about twelve years Tsukasa was trained and reprogrammed to be an expert soldier and marksman. He was given training in most fire-arms and ballistic weapons, as well as typical close-quarters combat, often being given near impossible tasks for which to hone his mutant abilities with. His behavioral experiments included a repression of most emotion, never being given the opportunity to think for himself, well as the implantation of a trigger sense used in most of the other subjects; in his case it was sound. Upon hearing a certain tone, Tsukasa would lose all control of his mind and go on a murderous rampage; it was because of this that most of his missions were solo in nature, as his loss of control did not let him distinguish between ally and foe. To this day, this mental implant has yet to be removed.
When he was not training or being educated, he was put into stasis until his next assignment. It was during a raid by S.H.I.E.L.D. on their HYDRA base led by Agent Patch(known to most as the X-Men member Wolverine) and Vyper Viper that he was discovered, still in stasis. Upon reading the intelligence on him, and discovering that he was a mutant, Nick Fury allowed Wolverine to take him to the X-Mansion for rehabilitation at the hands of the X-Men psychics. It has taken a few years years, but eventually Tsukasa was able to live a relatively normal life, with most of his HYDRA programming gone
Over the years he has served as a reserve member of the X-Men, as well as occasional S.H.I.E.L.D. operative. When the San Francisco X-Men were being relocated, Tsukasa was sent to assist the slightly weakened team.
Mutation: Projectile trajectory manipulation__________ xxxxx Tsukasa possesses an extra sense that allows him to control any projectile that leaves his hands(or a mechanism handled by hand, such as a firearm or bow/crossbow) xxxxxxxxStrengths: His powers can potentially work on multiple projetiles with enough concentration. His powers make any shots or thrown projectiles have an inhuman accuracy . xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: How far he can affect his projectiles depends on their speed and distance(i.e. he’d probably only be able to affect a particularly fast bullet by about 30 ̊-45 ̊ tops, whereas he may be able to affect a thrown knife or disc enough to make it round trip to his hand). His powers have a range limit of about half a mile; after that he loses complete track of the projectile and it flies off on its own.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 7 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 4 xxxxxSpeed: 6 xxxxxAgility: 7 xxxxxDurability: 4 xxxxxEndurance: 6 xxxxxPower Mastery: 12
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: Guns, throwing knives, archery, punk rock, action movies xxxxxDislikes: Bouncy people, children, HYDRA, smoking, drugs xxxxxGeneral Disposition: To say that Tsukasa is cold and rather distant is putting it lightly, but he has the hard discipline to be able to lead a team successfully into battle. His mind rarely leaves the battlefield, and is constantly running through dozens of tactics and possible battle plans. He thoroughly enjoys battle, and often enjoys a challenge to his abilities both as a soldier and a mutant.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Black SWAT-styled tactical armor made of a lightweight vibranium weave with a holographic HUD with augmented reality capabilities, varying tactical harnesses depending on what weapons he is carrying, and varying ammunition pouches depending on what weaponry he is carrying. xxxxxEquipment: Tsukasa’s room is more an armory than a resting quarter, as the walls are completely lined with dozens upon dozens of fire-arms, other ballistic weapons, and ammunition of all kinds. Most often he almost always carries some kind of compound bow, a pair of pistols, a combat knife or other tactical melee weapon, and at least one special weapon depending on the mission(sniper rifle, rocket launcher, etc.), and several clips of ammunition in his inventory xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: Expert in all manner of ballistic weaponry, expert in tactics and battle strategies, intermediate in close-quarters combat, parkour(beginner), gymnastics(beginner) xxxxxOther: As an early subject in trigger sense experimentation(the kind of brainwashing used on X-23), Tsukasa has a trigger programmed into his brain that, upon hearing a certain tone, makes him lose all control of his mind and makes him go on a murderous rampage. The amount of time this affects him is a variable, and often depends on environmental factors. Tsukasa never has any recollection of his rampages.

Education and Occupation (if any):_______________ xxxxxWork: Student xxxxxSchools: Dartmouth – one semester Columbia – One semester, Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters xxxxxTraining: Dance, jazz and pointe. Also, has had a multitude of self-defense classes at Mathis’ insistence.
Relations______________________________ xxxxx xxxxxRelatives: Mathis Jordan, Brother; Mother and Father removed from the picture legally xxxxxFriends: Dominik Epdipova, her on again, off again boyfriend; Gasper Bokal, Aren Aquene, Shiloh Jaden xxxxxCurrent Team: TBA xxxxxFormer Teams: None to speak of. xxxxxEnemies: Aurelie Nissley
History ______________________________ xxxxxKimki was the youngest of two, and her parents weren’t cut from a cloth that was conductive for parenthood. They moved around a lot, due to her father’s inability to hold down a job long enough to pay the cumbersome amount of bills. Unlike her older brother though, Kimki adjusted well to new settings, and had a way with relating to people, so making friends came easily to her.
But, as quickly as she made acquaintances and pals, Kimki turned to Mathis as her best friend, because no matter where they went, he was always there and understood all too well what she was going through. Naturally, the siblings were close, despite their personalities being so drastically different from one another. She was the social butterfly; he the pariah. But for all of his awkward stegosaurus moments, Kimki adored him. He taught her responsibility, she tried in vain to teach him how to be acceptable by societies' standards.
Kimki decided to follow in her brother's footsteps, and took on Biomedical Engineering as a major at Dartmouth. Both siblings had inherited brains from somewhere - they were certain from several generations back - and did quite well with book work. She of course, loved biology more than math, and wanted to work in making medicines and such instead of building devices like her brother. So she applied to multiple schools, and she received a substantial amount for a scholarship to an Ivy League School, and with Mathis' insistence that he'd survive without her straightening his tie every morning, she chose to attend the esteemed school known as Dartmouth.
Upon arriving on the small campus, Kimki was immediately drawn into the greek system, the huge thing on campus. She joined tri-delts, and appeared as though she'd be the perfect sister. While having such close friends (bought friends, more like) was nice, Kimki found herself homesick, and unable to focus on her studies. (Delta delta delta introduced her to things that Mathis had been able to shield her from: parties and alcohol and piercing parlors.) Somehow, Kimki struggled through the first semester at Dartmouth, what with all the new things that came with what she now knew was a mutant thing and not just her being extremely flexible. But, she's in need of a transfer, so she's deferring for at least a year to get a grasp on things before she heads back to school. Compound party, maybe?
During her lessons at the academy to get a better grip on her powers, Kimki met Dominik and an instant, mutual attraction was formed. Since then, their relationship has had plenty of ups and downs, which ended with them going their separate ways, due to his being relocated to another base.

Appearance______________________________ xxxxxGender: Male xxxxxAge: Appearance wise he is in his 20's in actuality he is very old having been born in Ancient Greece. xxxxxRace: Greek xxxxxHeight: 6' 4" xxxxxWeight: 194 lbs. xxxxxHair Color: Brown xxxxxEye Color: Gray with just a small tint of blue to them. xxxxxBuild: Toned xxxxxComplexion: Fair xxxxxOther Attributes: None
Education and Occupation (if any):_______________ xxxxxWork: Nothing though over his many years he has amassed a fortune to live off of. xxxxxSchools: He has attended multiple schools on occasion and therefore his education varies greatly. xxxxxTraining: Sword fighting and fencing, Archery, Olympic level runner, Charming people, Lock picking (It never hurts to know how to unlock a door), Numerous fighting styles that have been combined into a unique style, Numerous other skills he has learned through his many years of life and when he fought in the wars he was in. He is also the type of person that can pick up a new skill very quickly sometimes not needing much training to be able to do something with excellent skill.
Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: Father - Deceased Mother - Very much alive Siblings - Given his mother's nature he has lots of siblings, some that are still around even. He doesn't see any of them however. xxxxxFriends: Narcissa Stone, Aren (At least he was before this whole mess began) xxxxxCurrent Team: Unaligned xxxxxFormer Teams: Former Oracles Leader among many others xxxxxEnemies: Making enemies is easy and therefore he likely has many.
History ______________________________ xxxxxHe was born in Ancient times while his mother Aphrodite was still married to Hephaestus and was born from one of her many affairs. He grew up fairly normal until one day he seemed simply irresistible to the ladies and he started abusing it. Still he was fairly innocent until he met his mother and they simply hit it off. He was surprisingly accepting of his Demi-God nature and quickly embraced it to the full extent despite some Gods disapproval. The mere sight of him made Hephaestus sick and therefore after many years living the privileged life his Mother's Husband decided to go to Mommy and get him cursed. Hera was more than accepting of the idea and decided to get a little creative in her curse. After it was all said and done he basically fell from the graces of everyone but his mother and began living throughout history.
Doing many things over the years. He couldn't really die for real and no longer aged. He could heal quickly and if he was successfully killed then after some time he would come back. Sometimes it was immediate other times it took awhile. Despite his curse it didn't deter him from enjoying the pleasures of life or rather having the pleasures of life without enjoying them. Naturally at first he didn't really see it as being a curse and embraced it. That was all fine until one day he met a seemingly divine woman who held the beauty of the stars (in his own words naturally). Falling in love he quickly took her for his bride living a normal life and lived happy while with her despite not being able to have a child with her. That was when Hera decided to continue with his curse by giving her a disease that stole her beauty away and caused her to die a slow painful death. After seeing numerous other people die before his eyes he began to see the brilliance behind it. He was an immortal living with nothing but mortals.
Growing bitter for a time he went through life from then on doing what he could in opposition to Hera though he wasn't able to do much. He tried committing suicide in a variety of creative ways only for all to fail. Eventually he stopped trying and went back to try and win back some of the god's favor. Through the years he did little things here and there to help them out whenever possible and at present day has earned the trust of most back. He lived many lives through the years always eventually watching friends die until he just pretty much decided to no longer make friends. He kept in touch with some of his family through the years as best as could be expected. Still he is at odds with Hera and Hephaestus for obvious reasons as well as a few others. In recent times he has worked with the X-men on various occasions as well as the Brotherhood and other teams. His no real friends rule was broken on the night he met Narcissa and currently she is the closest friend he has. Not to mention one of the only friends he has.
After his abrupt death and subsequent revival he still has not grown used to being mortal. At times he finds himself trying to do something that would require him to be stronger or faster. The return of his taste buds is still very new to him.
Mutation: Regeneration and Limited Charm__________ xxxxx Regeneration - He can regenerate wounds at an extremely accelerated rate on par with the likes of Wolverine and due to his mutation his body has stopped aging. Given the changed nature of his regeneration it is unknown if he could die or if he would still eventually heal the wounds he receives just at a decelerated rate upon death. He is immune to poisons and viruses as his body naturally heals them before they have time to even work. Limited Charm - While still potent his charm is not what it once was. It takes more than him simply being in a room to make those attracted to him throw themselves at his feet. It is also much easier to resist now. His scent is still almost intoxicating to some, his voice nigh angelic, etc. xxxxxxxxStrengths: He can take extreme amounts of punishment and keep coming. The nature of his mutation makes him a good candidate for close quarters combat or even as a distraction if necessary. Often times with his charm he can get out of a sticky situation without resorting to violence. He is able to control his charm quite well and even turn it off with concentration. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: Unfortunately regeneration does not stop the pain that accompanies it and therefore he feels every bit of pain even if he recovers from it quickly. If something is stuck in him he can't heal (ex: a sword is stabbed into him he won't heal till it is pulled out) and once he get's so much damage in rapid succession that his healing slows down to a near halt making him go into like a short hibernation of sorts.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 5 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 4 xxxxxSpeed: 5 xxxxxAgility: 5 xxxxxDurability: 9 xxxxxEndurance: 5 xxxxxPower Mastery: 14
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: Wine, Women, Lotus Flowers, Formal Wear, Expensive things, Classical Music, The stars and space, etc. xxxxxDislikes: The Gods, Guns (though he has used them in the past and is not against using them), Heavy metal and most types of modern music, Looking poor, etc. xxxxxGeneral Disposition: He tends to come off as a generally nice and sophisticated person. Especially towards women. He has a cruel side that he shows and tends to not take life too seriously. Taking a life is not something he is bothered much by. With modern standards for serial killers he is by far a mass murderer with all the life he has taken through the years. He can be blunt at times as he usually doesn't worry about others feelings all that much. He can also be very flirty with women unless it has been made clear nothing is going to happen then he tends to just forget them though there are exceptions. Most do not get to see passed the facade he has spent so long perfecting. Currently Narcissa is the only one remaining who has seen nearly every side he has to offer.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Nothing special xxxxxEquipment: He has been known to carry a sword of some kind. xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: xxxxxOther: The cursed portion of his former life before death is no longer present though children is still out of the question. There are times that his sense of taste will leave him for short periods of time. Upon resurrection he found himself to be somewhat frustratingly normal. Having grown so accustomed to his former body which had loads more strength and speed he feels weak.

xxxxxFriends: Aren Aquene, Narcissa Stone, Kimki Jordan, Aurelie, Bianca. xxxxxCurrent Team: Unaligned xxxxxFormer Teams: Omega, Shadows, Briquets (former team leader) xxxxxEnemies: Shandra
History ______________________________ xxxxxFrom what Dominik can clearly recall and from what he’s been told, his childhood was a felicitous one. He was born in Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia, to parents Josip and Alenka Edipova. The family was quite well-off, his parents both making careers for themselves as lawyers, and indulging in the prosperity which the breakup of former Yugoslavia provided. Slovenia had just become an independent republic, and they were determined to reap the benefits of the country’s long term struggles and new-found good fortune.
He grew up in an elegant townhouse located somewhere is the historic center of the city, the exact location of which he can no longer recall. If asked, he states that he can remember crisp mahogany flooring, refined furnishings which he was always forbade to drink or eat around, and the sight of Ljubljana Castle looming in the distance outside of his bedroom window; the silent guardian over the city, a spectator to its vast and sometimes tumultuous history. He remembers warm, humid summers and winters laden with snow (an aspect of his former home which he would later find alarmingly similar to New York), occasional trips to the theater which he didn’t enjoy as much as his parents’ would have hoped, and the addition of his younger brother Ciril to the family in 1994.
Small things, trivial memories, but to Dominik they hold a vast amount of importance...because outside of those small glimpses, most of his childhood is a complete blank. He can’t recall most vacations or celebrations, his father’s election to parliament in 1997, or even the sound of his mother’s voice. These are things that, without a doubt, existed...helped to formulate what was certainly a happy childhood. But Dominik can’t remember any of it; he can only look at the photographs, listen to the recounts, and know that they happened... that he was present for them, and that they’re gone from his mind forever.
He doesn’t remember the car crash, either, though that was the singular even which changed his life forever...ended the reverie that was an innocent if not jubilant childhood. Gasper was hesitant to describe the preceding events at first, ever afraid that such a story might re-ignite the unpleasant memories which were seemingly lost to the young boy. But he was persistent, a personality trait gifted to him by his father, and so the story was soon relinquished. It was summertime, he was told, and they were on their way back home from a trip to Piran, a city located on the southwestern side of the country. Night had veiled the skies, clouds producing enough droplets of rain to form a small drizzle, and they were within adequate range of the city that was their home, their destination. The details of how the crash occurred were skewed even to Gasper, though the assumption was that one car had hit a slick patch on the road and veered into the other, sending both vehicles careening into a nearby ditch. Josip, Ciril (who was only nine years old), and the driver of the other car were pronounced dead on arrival. Alenka and Dominik both sustained critical injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital, where Alenka died twelve hours later.
Dominik himself sustained, among many broken bones, severe injuries to his head and damage to his brain, namely to the temporal lobes. He was in a coma for a week, one which many weren’t sure he would awaken from. But as previously stated, Dominik is a rather persistent person, and this trait in his personality perhaps aided him a great deal in his recovery. Upon awakening, he was quick to start the healing process...determined to eradicate any long term ailments that his injuries might cause. His dedication led to an almost full recovery, the only remnants of his ordeal the broken memory of his early life. The damage to his brain was enough that many of his memories had literally been wiped away, stolen from the safety of his own mind, muddled, and even reduced to nothing. As such, his visions of his childhood are few and far between, the details of his family hard to gather outside of the physical aspects he can find in photographs and the stories he’s been told by family friends.
The situation was dire, and though it made the boy reclusive, he was not outwardly very depressed. After all, it was hard to mourn for people you couldn’t properly remember.
Having no living family, Dominik was soon turned over to the care of his Godfather, Gasper Bokal. The man had been Josip’s most cherished friend since childhood, and had been present for many family affairs up until his migration to America a few years earlier in hopes of expanding his career. Kind as he was, and willing as he was to take the title for the children at the time...Gasper had never truly expected to have to act upon it. He was a bachelor, vastly busy with his career (He’s a CEO of a rather successful banking company), and certainly didn’t see himself as the fatherly type. Still, he reasoned that Josip would be relying on him, and that without his assistance Dominik be left with no one. So, as the boy’s recovery progressed, Gasper eventually took custody of him and brought him to New York. Dominik was thirteen at the time.
The next two years were uneventful. The young man’s personality was different from what his Godfather recalled; he had become quiet, thoughtful, though to him it didn’t seem a solemn act...rather, his losses had apparently made him more considerate of his surroundings. He took to keeping journals and taking pictures of his home and the places he visited, and kept anything which was his (bedroom, books, etc) utterly immaculate; something which was indeed strange for a teenage boy. Dominik learned english quickly, immediately despising how his accent and weak grasp on the language made him stand out amongst his peers. He was soon attending normal classes, getting grades which were usually average...though his lack of interest in school was almost immediately clear, as he was prone to neglecting his studies entirely. Another change from the Dominik he used to be, Gasper told him later, for the old Dominik, though young, had always been quite dedicated to his education.
Gasper’s role in his life was distant, and Dominik preferred it that way. A year after his arrival in the States, Gasper legally adopted him, though his role in Dominik’s life could barely be considered fatherly. Indeed, the young man was usually left to his own devices...as Gasper was often away on business trips or otherwise wrapped up in affairs pertaining to his job. But he wasn’t a cruel man by any stretch, merely someone unaccustomed and unprepared for the role of a parent, and the young man’s distance didn’t help matters.
As a result, it isn’t really surprising that Gasper didn’t initially notice the changes that occurred in his Godson shortly after his fifteenth birthday. That was when the headaches started. At first, they were minute...barely even noticeable as he meandered about his day. A few advil, and they would dissipate, proving that it was nothing to be overly concerned about. Weeks passed, and they became increasingly frequent...increasingly severe. He couldn’t explain it; it was as if there was some odd, indescirnable pressure building within his skull...pushing at its edges and begging for release. This, of course, disturbed him; was this some latent side-effect of the crash coming to light? He couldn’t accept that as a possibility...instead he quickly chalked it up to a sinus infection and did what he could to ignore it. A few weeks later, the migraines became so unbareable that he couldn’t even bring himself to leave his bed...and sometime in the middle of the night, it finally happened.
Dominik had done well to hide the scratch marks that riddled his bed stand, casting a sheet over them and willing himself to forget that they were even there. He didn’t recall what had made him so angry...he didn’t recall getting angry at all. He wasn’t generally prone to feeling the emotion so powerfully, and in all of his life he’d never been violent. Moreover, he didn’t recall grabbing something to cut the object with...it didn’t make sense. The headaches had been horrible...unbearable, grown to such a stark degree that the pain matched what he’d felt soon after awakening in the hospital, and then there was that slight flash, a pinprick within the confines of skull...and then they, the scratches, just...were. No, it didn’t make sense. He didn’t recall getting angry, or cutting anything, but that was the only plausible explanation. So he threw the sheet over his bed and bid himself to forget about it. And, for a while, the headaches ceased.
The process would repeat itself twice more before Dominik finally relented that there was a problem and went to Gasper. He showed him the places in his room which had become covered in the strange markings, the surfaces which looked as though they’d been angrily slashed at with something akin to a pocket knife. He explained the headaches, how they’d persist for weeks...and how they ceased after the markings appeared. He described how he didn’t remember attacking the objects, insisted that he didn’t own anything which could do that kind of damage. Gasper was floored; he didn’t know what to think initially, but soon came to the conclusion that this had to have something to do with Dominik’s injuries; apparently the damage to his brain had been more severe than anyone had originally imagined...certainly more than his memories of the past had been affected.
But the young man was adamant about that not being the case, and his determination to prove to Gasper that it had nothing to do with that led him to the complete discovery of his ability. Without waiting for his headaches to start, he willed himself to focus on his bedroom wall one night, trying to elicit the same markings he had before. It was partially successful; he lashed out, producing a small, singular cut on the wall. It didn’t hit the center as he’d willed it to, but instead veered off and assaulted the far end. But at the time, it didn’t matter...he’d done it, and it floored him that he had. Immediately, he demonstrated this for Gasper, who was just as shocked as he was. What was going on?
Research into the subject made Gasper realize what his god son’s abilities meant. Further inquiry led him to the discovery of Xavier’s institute, though Dominik himself refused to have anything to do with it. After a lot of urging, the young man agreed to attend the Academy in New York for the duration of his schooling. He stayed on there for a few years after, helping out here and there...though, after a while, he came to realize that his taste for New York City as a whole had waned. He still found reason, however thin, to stay on at the Institute for a whole…though with his interests so dulled, he allowed himself to cross a few boundaries that he likely shouldn’t have. Most notably, he pursued a relationship with a new student, one Kimki Jordan. It was an action which he had expected would lead to his expulsion, though that didn’t exactly happen, much to his own chagrin. He stayed on with Kimki for a while, their relationship always a tad rocky
Mutation: Psychic Laceration __________ xxxxxLancination, also called Psychic Laceration, Cutting or Slicing is the ability to lacerate subjects with one’s mind. xxxxxxxxStrengths: One with this ability can cause the same sensation and effect of being jabbed or sliced by a blade of nearly any sort. It can be used to loosen weak bonds or draw blood and causes pain like an actual blade. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: The longer the distance between Dominik and a target, the less chance there is that he can deliver a substantial blow, or even hit them at all. At his current level, his power starts to taper out at a distance of around fifteen feet. Larger, deeper blows require both energy and an apt amount of concentration, and can therefore only be elicited a number of times before his strength inevitably wanes; they are also slightly slower (and therefore easier for an opponent to avoid) and more likely to veer off course should his mind waver.
As it’s a metaphysical power, the energy builds up, and at some point demands to be released. In instances such as these, he’d be without control of his powers. While building up, he’ll suffer migraines that might make him a touch reclusive if there isn’t any advil on hand. (More reclusive than usual, that is.)
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 5 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 5 xxxxxSpeed: 4 xxxxxAgility: 4 xxxxxDurability: 5 xxxxxEndurance: 5 xxxxxPower Mastery: 14
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: Marlboro regulars, rock and blues music, order, reading, copious note taking, Kimki, reading on occasion, photographs, avoiding his Godfather’s phone calls, nature, clean rooms, solitude. xxxxxDislikes: Personal questions, people who mess with his s**t, Lady Ga Ga, Slovenia to some extent, his family to some extent, Gasper to some extent, losing information, ******** up his English, most techno, Wal-Mart, pity parties, 50 First Dates (movie), Kimki on occasion. xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Straying more on the side of introversion, Dominik is often of a more quiet and studious disposition. This doesn’t equate to his being shy at all, however, or even sulky; he simply prefers his solace. He’s not immediately trusting of his peers, though this is a sentiment which is usually kept to his thoughts and not displayed outwardly at all. He’s charming when he needs to be, even talkative when he wants to be…but does also have a nasty tendency to lie when confronted with questions of a more personal nature, especially when they pertain to his family situation.
He doesn’t mourn the loss of his family, only the loss of his memories, and is only inclined to lie because he disassociates himself with the person that he once was. Somewhat secretive nature aside, he can also be very detail oriented, protective, and in some instances a touch stoic; at times his morals can seem very skewed, as if his conscience is, in some instances, simply…off. Overall, he is a friendly sort, if not a touch distant from time to time, and generally very loyal to those he cares for.

History ______________________________ xxxxx Cammi’s history starts with a strange but heart warming love story. Her parents, Stephanie and James Grant, met at the Xavier Institute when they were kids. They grew up together and eventually married. Before Camilla came along James and Stephanie worked at the Academy; once she was born they moved to Brockport, NY, to start their family and give Camilla a normal life. They had no idea the girl was mutant, though they knew the possibilities were high because they both were.
At seven years old, Camilla and her parents discovered what Camilla was able to do. She was at school when it happened, first grade to be exact. Camilla was playing hide-and-go-seek with the other children. While hiding behind a tree, she waited anxiously for the ‘it’ person to find her. So when that child came around the tree Camilla was hiding behind, and walked right past her, Camilla was confused. She shouted at the kid, who turned around and shrugged. “Why didn’t he tag me?” she asked herself while looking around. The other children were still playing and Camilla continued to stand by the tree. It was then that she looked down at her hands and noticed they looked like a tree. The funny part was that she wasn’t scared. She thought it was the coolest thing ever! When the teacher called everyone back from recess Camilla went inside, still looking like a tree. The teacher flipped, calling her parents and demanding to know what was wrong with their freak of a child. From that day on, Camilla never went back to a regular school, but instead went to the Academy with her parents. They resumed their jobs and Camilla grew up at the academy, training and honing her powers.
At twenty she decided to leave the academy and travel to one of the other institutes scattered around the world. She was sad to leave because she had made a lot of friends at the academy but she felt it was time to move on. Eventually she ended up in Australia at the institute there, and has remained there for the past three years.

In the future Camilla will be able to change her skin color and texture, making it so that she not only looks like her surroundings (IE a brick wall) but she will also feel like her surroundings. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: Camilla cannot change the color of her eyes, so if someone sees her eyes while she is on a mission, her cover is blown.

Biography______________________________ xxxxxName: James Patrick Gray xxxxxAliases: Patrick xxxxxCodename: Kinesis xxxxxPlace of Birth: New York City, New York, United States xxxxxBirthday: May 26 xxxxxCitizenship: American
Appearance______________________________ xxxxxGender: Male xxxxxAge: 25 xxxxxRace: Caucasian xxxxxHeight: 178 cm xxxxxWeight: 75 kg xxxxxHair Color: Brown xxxxxEye Color: Gold xxxxxBuild: Athletic xxxxxComplexion: Fair xxxxxOther Attributes: None
Education and Occupation (if any):_______________ xxxxxWork: Full time X-man xxxxxSchools: Xavier's Institute and some college while in New York but not enough for a degree in anything. xxxxxTraining: Jeet Kun Do but not enough to really say he knows a lot. Some medical knowledge and knowledge of the human anatomy (mostly basic). Some basic knowledge of other languages.
Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: Father - Derek Gray - 53 Mother - Jane Gray - 50 Little Sister - Gabriella 'Gabby' Gray - 12 (Super Speed) xxxxxFriends: Mathis Jordan, Aren Aquene xxxxxCurrent Team: (You may leave this blank) xxxxxFormer Teams: Shadows Co-Leader, X-men, X-men Reserves, and Student Teams while at the Academy. xxxxxEnemies: Cristopher Botin and Phoibe Vail
History ______________________________ xxxxx James was born into a rich family and at an early age was pretty pampered being given whatever he wanted. He was given piano lessons when he was old enough to understand things because his mother loved to play. His father was gone on business most of the time and the rare times he was home he didn't spend a lot of time with James. His mother would make excuses for his father when he wasn't there but after awhile she just stopped. He was put in the best school when he was old enough to go and things were normal till he turned 14.
That was when weird things started happening things would levitate whenever he was emotional and he could have swore a couple of times he made things move just by thinking it. After he finally figured out that he was a mutant he told his parents who disowned him. He was thrown out on the street and was forgotten by his father and mother. He quickly learned that on the street you had to do things for yourself because things weren't just handed to you. He met a guy who taught him how to steal rather well until he found out James was a mutant then he to abandoned him.
Shortly after he found his way to the X-men and was took in and given a better life at Professor Xavier's school. Getting a high school education he furthered his studies to include college courses and began taking them. Falling just short of a degree he traveled to San Francisco to join them and has since been a member of the shadows doing what is needed of him when it is needed. After his little sister was born he reconnected with his Father and Mother who were sorry for what they did to him. Shortly after they moved to San Francisco where he visits them every now and then and just recently discovered his sister has an ability as well.
Mutation: Telekinesis and Telepathic Resistance__________ xxxxx Telekinesis by definition is the ability to move things with ones mind. James is able to do that among other things. He can simulate flight by lifting himself up, he can create shields of varying strength, he can release 'pushes' of varying force and size, he is skilled enough in it's use to be able to do little things with his powers such as turning the volume knob on a set of speakers. He is even able to use his ability to augment his physical prowess by creating small shields around his hands or giving a little push behind limbs to make them move a little faster. Using his hands provides greater control over his ability but is hardly necessary. Along with Telekinesis given that his mind is trained he has greater than average resistance to Telepathy. Not to mention he actually experienced using Telepathy first hand for awhile so he is familiar with how it works for the most part. xxxxxxxxStrengths: Because of the versatility of his powers James is suited for a multitude of different situations. He is particularly adept with the push and levitating portions of his powers with his shield creating not far behind. Given that his mind is his weapon he is limited by that only and therefore has the potential for his powers to grow higher. Given his skills he could be particularly useful for combating enemy Telepaths. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: His powers are affected by the state of his mind to an extent and therefore if he is stressed or something of that nature his powers could be a little unpredictable. Despite his abilities he still has his limits and surpassing those can put him in harms way. His shields are strong but they cannot stand up to prolonged assault for real long before he reaches his limit. A sure sign of him reaching his limit is a nosebleed though the blood is not restricted to his nose. If he continues to push forward despite his limits then it won't be long before blood comes out of other areas like his eyes or ears.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 5 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 4 xxxxxSpeed: 4 xxxxxAgility: 4 xxxxxDurability: 4 xxxxxEndurance: 5 xxxxxPower Mastery: 13
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: His little sister, reading, playing the piano, meditating and doing yoga, silence, and his fellow mutants. xxxxxDislikes: Being in crowded rooms, foolish people, bubbly and overly talkative people, and flirts. xxxxxGeneral Disposition: He is a serious and calm individual for the most part though that is not to say he doesn't joke around with friends. He is fearless individual and has no problem standing up to a more powerful opponent and keeps a cool head the whole time. He enjoys his quiet time and does not take kindly to people interrupting it.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Black and Silver xxxxxEquipment: None xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: Skilled in the use of techniques frowned upon by the law (lock picking, stealing cars, etc.). Great piano player. Enjoys meditating and doing yoga to help calm his inner self and mind. xxxxxOther: None

History ______________________________ xxxxx Perhaps, it'd be best to start, as though this were a story rather than a report demanded for review. And often times, these sorts of things start with “So and so was born at this location.” However, it's truly rare that a story starts there, because then, it is only the end, or even the middle of someone else's story. It might be better then, to start with not who was born where, but just where this particular chapter of this exact story unfolded.
We would start then, in one of the northern most counties of Indiana, Elkhart. It isn't like many other towns in the aspect that there aren't any tall buildings, most of them are made from creek stones and timber. The roads aren't always paved, but are paths of red dirt for the populace to use with their buggies. The air is crisp in the fall, like biting into a sweet apple, the plains have the slightest roll to them, and farmland stretches out as far as one can see, far enough to kiss the borders of trees that mark a forest in the country side.
It is, what the people there call a remarkable sight.
In such a community, often there is an associated culture linked to the population, and such is the case of Elkhart County. Most of the people, Robert Nissley included, are tradesmen, do crafts of some sort for commerce, and own a private part of land for crops strictly for their families. And all members of the town, are heavily educated in the ways of their religion and agriculture above everything else. Women are taught to sew, and are devoted wives, sisters and friends.
Robert Nissley, the head of the household that we will explore, is a mason. No, not mason in the way that Ben Franklin was a mason, but is a man who works with stone for his living. Often, he helps build houses for those who adore the Amish artisans; he helps build houses for new couples... and this is how he provided for his staggering nine children that he and Mary were blessed enough to have. Like most families, the Nissleys weren't without their problems or their celebrations; their first born –Anna – decided to abandon their faith, leaving the family behind, never to return. Anna had decided, despite the rigid structure she'd grown up in and live amongst the glitz and glam at her first opportunity.
Charles married, and has had two children … whom he plans to teach about stone carving when they come of age.
Little Eva died of SIDS a few years later, leaving the family heart broken. Robert Junior was kicked by a sick horse when he was nine, and the injuries killed him almost instantaneously. Thomas, the Nissleys have learned has a way with timber, and is quite the carpenter for his age. James and Elizabeth are close, and remain quite the trouble makers of their household.
But none of his children were so troublesome as Mary (named after her mother). Mary Auralee was of an inquisitive nature, always second guessing what the church thought, always thought about more of the world than what she knew. While her culture focused on the immediate group, Mary's imagination ran rampant, and ever was she singing lively tunes that hadn't anything to do with hymns, and dancing with movements that wouldn't be deemed appropriate when caught. It was unholy; and where she'd been taught the piques, arabesques her parents hadn't the faintest idea. (I'm quite sure you're bored reading this by now. Bios are quite bland for me, and for that, I apologize.)
But unbeknownst to her family, Mary had picked up a book left by the tourists who frequented their town. The book, with lots of pictures (which were strange to her, because it was forbidden to allow pictures to be taken of themselves, or even for them to snap photos for the passerbys), explaining the art of dance, and just for fun, she tried out the poses, working them together in a way that must have been quite silly. Most of the words she couldn't pronounce, funny little symbols over the letters, and it looked all french to her. (She didn't know the differentiation between languages: Russian, Italian, French)
To have kept this secret would have made for a very short story, and merely for her family to have discovered this book, and the others she pilfered on the same subject, would have brought a harsh punishment to the child. But, that would easily be remedied, and you'd really be wasting your time reading this at all. (You still might be, I make no promises of otherwise saying that you should in fact continue)
She was twelve when it happened the first time. Mary had been reading about the grace expected of a ballerina, one that would twirl flawlessly, be the picture of elegance, fluid in all movement. She'd been trying to do a 'ballon,' when it happened. (Ballon means to bounce, where the dancer can show the lightness of the movement. It describes a quality, not the elevation or height, of the jump. Even in small, quick jumps (petite allégro), dancers strive to exhibit ballon. A dancer exhibiting ballon would spring off the floor and appear to pause mid-air before landing.) She didn't come down from the air. She was stuck, suspended above the ground.. for several minutes, before her feet hit the floor.
For the first time in her life, Mary got to see the things she'd envisioned, dreamt about. Very briefly. She'd actually thought, for a moment, that it was supposed to happen. Until her toes reached for the floor, and wouldn't make contact. She tried once again, when she finally came back down to earth.
And she did it again, and again, imitating when she could, the leaps and bounds, and each suspension lasted a different length of time.
Every chance Mary got the opportunity to try... she did. She used the levitation to practice maneuvers that she found difficult to do on the ground. Being in the air, made things effortless. She snuck into town after school, during her allotted 'play time' and watched those who studied at the Allegro Dance Theatre, imitating the movements when she got the chance to, in the privacy of her family's barn. Several times a week she'd go, watching with a passion inside of her, that her family would never truly comprehend. To be a ballerina was to seek glory – a thing that was more than frowned upon in her community.
This love for dancing, and her ability was a well kept secret for a long time, until she was in class... and one of her schoolmates (a boy named Adrian Lee), was holding her books too high for her to reach, thinking it cute the way she jumped up and down to get them. He'd planned on courting her when they both came of age, he himself just a year her senior.
> > > “Give them back, Adrian!” She jumped, once again... wrinkling her nose as she looked at him. “You're rotten, you know that?” Mary was just a girl after all, and one that wasn't so keen yet on boys. And as such, she hadn't really thought that he was teasing her because he liked her. Rather, she thought he was just being a difficult boy, one who reveled in making girls fall on their face (which she was so sure would happen if she continued to hop about as she was.)
She stamped against the ground, exasperated after the struggle between the two. If only she could reach...
And reach she did... but she didn't just lift herself, she lifted several desks, a book shelf... and the teacher as she tried to regain her possessions.
Adrian immediately dropped her books, eyes wide at the phenomenon going on around him. This little slip of a girl, obviously aggravated, had made things lift from the ground in a way they weren't supposed to. “Mary! Mary! Here's your stuff... let them down, okay?” This sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen; and when the teacher rose higher with her confusion, Adrian shook her until her powers broke, and everything went sailing into the ground. < < <
I could tell you what happened next, the screams of terror, the shot that rang out, about the teacher's injury... but it's really of no consequence to you, so I'll spare you of the details and go more onward to the point, the family's reaction actually something paramount.
It would be redundant to say they were displeased, even more so an understatement to say that they were irate. The girl, just shy of thirteen, was a shame to her family, and left Robert and Mary wondering why God had forsaken them with such an unholy child. She was left, dumped upon her sister's lap, Robert exclaiming that Hell's children belonged together.
Anna was ... happy to have her sister with her, no longer completely separated from her family. But living in the midst of New York, as barely more than a twenty-two year old made life hard for the pair. It was expensive; Anna worked two full-time jobs, and Aurelie (abandoning her first name completely, as it reminded her of her scathing mother) worked as an under the table janitor part-time in a dance studio. What money she had, she used to pay for her fare to lessons, working double the hours she should have, in attempt to keep up with the payments. She often used the time between her school work and her job to practice her ballet techniques, never once allowing herself to lift off the ground with her unnatural ability.
In between that time, before she was done cleaning the floors, Aurelie practiced in private, never giving up her passion for dancing. I'd like to give you the cliched, and one day a dance instructor saw her, and gave her a free ride to take classes at the dance studio. But no such breaks came. She worked, and saved, and paid for what lessons she could. The owner, however, did take pity on her, and offered to pay her with dance lessons after a while, seeing the true, natural talent she had. It wasn't exactly the easiest arrangement, because the work was tedious, and required long hours, but it got her a way in for the formal training she so desired.
One day Anna saw her practicing, saw the fluid motions and love in her sister's blue eyes one day when she aimed to surprise her, and pick her up from work so that she'd not have such a tiresome walk home. And with it, instilled the idea of Julliard to the girl, who hadn't thought herself good enough to go to a school for the Arts. They worked, nearly every spare moment, perfecting her technique, using videos and different styles every time.. It was the harder moves, like the split leap, and the ballons, and any sort of form that Anna made her sister start to use her hovering ability to learn exactly where to place herself in the air.
She watched tape upon tape of auditions, of what Julliard expected of its applicants. And encompassed every part of it unto herself. Aurelie took up piano, noting that they wanted multi-talented girls, and practiced on a piano in the basement of a local church. It was out of tune, but the more Aurelie felt for it, the better her skills became.
So many problems came with her power (such as waking up six feet above her bed, lifting objects without realizing it..), that eventually, Aurelie took it upon herself to find a tutor, to help her harness the ability... hearing of Xavier's Institution for the Gifted, she sought out a part time mentor; and one kindly obliged at some guy with shades' request. The lessons were four times a week, and took from her dancing, but over the course of the year, she was able to grasp a bit more control of the quality of where the objects went, and how to direct them, hold them and release the items she practiced with.
Jean, a red headed teacher was her teacher in this, herself a powerful telekinetic. And while Aurelie didn't have all the same abilities as her, the mentorship was a good fit, minus Jean's mood swings – A thing that Cyclops blamed on her hardships, and insisted that it wasn't Aurelie's fault. But, as her dancing got more involved, Aurelie had less time for the academy... and stopped going but once or twice a month upon her acceptance into her dream school, no longer having time to perfect her mutation.
Her ability, would be both the miracle, and the disaster when it came to her dream.
At fifteen, Aurelie considered herself ready for her first audition to Julliard, and after hours upon hours... sleepless nights, and endless rehearsing... she was accepted, with a scholarship to complete her education in the Pre-College Division of the school. For a time, Aurelie couldn't have asked for more.
Until, of course... she was caught using her ability. And she hadn't known; hadn't any worry as she danced, what would be her last recital... instead of an audition to remain at the school for college. As Aurelie poured her heart out into her performance, another student –hopeful as well of being accepted – was explaining to the president of the school that Aurelie wasn't what she seemed.
With a mutation, Julliard denied her and took away all credits and rewards she'd gotten as a ballerina.
No where else to go (too ashamed to return to Anna), Aurelie finished out her high school career at the academy, lost on what exactly she could do. She's been there, taking basic college courses (after having graduated at 17 there) for past two semesters, reluctant to touch her slippers, or uniform or much else until Emma put her on a student team – The Corsairs, with Scott. Slowly, Aurelie recovered from the shock, began to listen to music, began to play the piano..and adjusted to the team.
She made connections while there, happily entwining herself with those who were close enough to be family. Like most young girls in college, Aurelie dated around when there was time, having a brief blip with Dominik, who at the end point of their relationship said they would do better to be friends. (His fear of anything close to commitment cut their romance short.)
The other relationship that's notable to this location, would be the one she maintained with Leonardo Rossi. After their graduation, Leonardo had been persuaded to lead a reorganized MORT, and convinced her to come with him. For a while, the two juggled their relationship relatively well against their different roles on the team, but when it came to assassination missions – Aurelie had an issue with going against her morality, her beliefs that told her every life was worth saving.
To destroy that opportunity bothered her. And when it came to the time where she was the one expected to pull the trigger, she couldn't bring herself to do it. A fight between her and Leo rerupted shortly after, and Aurelie left the entire organization, intent on settling down and giving up her uniforms forever.
But SHIELD was persistent, and considered her a hazard to be out on her own, and wanted her back. They waited until she'd settled into a job instructing young ballerinas, and then sought her out to persuade her to come back. Upon refusal, SHIELD members threatened violence and she retreated. The blond had been on the run since, dodging the group at every corner. Worn down, Aurelie finally requested the help of Warren – a long time friend from the academy, to which she's reluctantly donning a suit and a codename, to aid them in their vision.
Mutation: Telekinesis__________ xxxxx Ability to manipulate and control objects with the mind. xxxxxxxxStrengths: Aurelie has the ability to move things with her mind, specifically making them hover, propel them through the air, and such. She simulates flight through levitation of herself. When levitating objects, she can move things to 'shield' herself, or hurl an object at an enemy. Her strongest suit now is working with telekinetic shields, which she uses most often to trap an enemy to aid her team. She and use these shields to “push” them back. Her shields now, are at a place that she can wear them as an extended skin, two inches above her own, to keep appearances up without letting anyone get too close.
Her ability is now tuned enough that she's able to dial pass codes and such without using her hands, and sew patches in her clothes. Objects she lifts with her mind can be heavier than what she could actually lift physically, by using a concussive force to “lift” it, versus her actual strength.
She's able to take an object/person and hurl it at high velocities, but this power is best used when her adrenaline is high.
xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: Telekinesis causes a certain amount of mental stress, and while she can levitate multiple items at once, the more weight in the air, the more concentration it requires, and the less amount of time she can hold them there. Her brain can only handle so much, and if overused, she is like to collapse of fatigue, have nose and eye bleeds, and can even end up to an extended visit to an infirmary, while her mind forcibly goes into a coma to recover. It's also harder to change the direction of larger objects while they are in the air – manageable but will tire her faster.
Shattering her shields from the inside is a no - no, as she learned at the Mall her first day on the Alphas -- it causes a massive brain bleed.

History ______________________________ xxxxx “What to say, what to say? I was born to a prima donna b***h of a failed model and her computer programmer of a husband in New York, New York. Feeling she could do better, she left him and married some rich businessman that works with Oscorp back when I was very little, and so we moved into the guy’s big mansion in upstate New York. I always knew there was no real love in my mom’s heart; for her it was always about money, and not having to actually work for it. She was a manipulative b***h, perhaps a trait I inherited from her.
“For the most part, I wasn’t a very problematic child. I was always a bit of a geek, burying my head in textbooks and computer screens. I was a gifted student, especially in areas pertaining to computers and technology. I always loved stuff like that, which is probably why I love William Gibson so much; but hey, I’m rambling. Simply put, I was the nerd of the house whom everyone expected to grow up to be successful… not that my mom or stepdad ever even gave a s**t about me. It seemed the only member of my family I ever got along with was my dad; only natural since we have pretty much all of the same interests.
“Around fifteen I finally discovered my powers. This was back when computers were still s**t unless you actually knew a thing or two about programming… which, given the nature of my abilities, was my forte. I soon found myself using my powers to create my own programs, occasionally screwing around with people that pissed me off. I even hired myself out to the stupid people at my school, hacking the computer systems to change their shitty grades… of course, they never knew I was a mutant. They just figured I was enough of a geek that I could bypass the school’s system the mundane way, not that that wasn’t the case. On my downtime I liked to research anything and everything that would help me get a better understanding of computer programming and security… most of the time in my digital form while using those same abilities to hack into complicated security systems for fun.
“By the time high school was over, I graduated class valedictorian. I got accepted into MIT with a full scholarship and eagerly wanted to learn new things… only to be sorely disappointed. Even the most advanced classes available didn’t teach me anything I didn’t already teach myself. It was just so boring, and so after about six months I dropped out.
“Ever since then I’ve been hiring myself as both a black hat and white for various corporations and clientele. I instantly made a name for myself in hacker circles under the pseudonym countess_zer0. Needless to say, with my reputation I made quite a bit of profit. Eventually it all got boring, dealing with such people; the only fun parts being actually doing the jobs, so I set off to find something that would entertain me. Lo and behold, I found the X-Men.
“Their systems were a bit of a challenge, but I got through eventually. At first the X-Men thought I was an attacker, but I got them to come around. I convinced them that I was merely demonstrating my powers, convincing them that I’d be an asset to them team. Cyclops eventually assigned me to the X-Men’s science team, the X-Club(Queer name, I know), and so, I’ve been here for about a year and a half.
“But by now, I’m starting to grow bored of this team as well. Doctor Nemesis and Box aren’t as fun as they used to be, and Doctor Rao is just a self-righteous b***h. Plus, I hear I’ve got a friend or two over there in San Fran I could screw around with. And so, that is why I ask for a transfer.
“-Wintermute XOXO” -Taken from an e-mail sent from Faith to Shandra several weeks before her transfer
Mutation: Digitization__________ xxxxx Her mutant power is the ability to transform her body into a stream of digital information and enter computer systems(similar to in the Tron movies) xxxxxxxxStrengths: -Her mutant power gives her a natural understanding of computer systems and programming that even the most skilled hackers couldn’t have. -She can use network connections(internet, LAN, WiFi, etc.) to transport herself between computers, provided she could pierce through firewalls and the like. This can be as far as possible so long as the connection will get her there. In laymen’s terms, she can literally e-mail herself. -She can manipulate data in her digital state in just about anyway her imagination would allow her, making programming very easy for her. -She does not age in her digital state, which considering how often she uses her powers, makes her look much younger than she is. -In her digital state she has an eidetic memory, and can thus learn things very easily. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: -Her powers should not be used when sick, as whatever sickness she has would turn into malicious code or viruses. -A skilled enough hacker or technopath can injure her with ease in her digital state. -Strong enough malicious code can physically harm her. -Her clothes or anything on her person do not digitize along with her, which often leads to embarrassing situations. (On a mission she corrects this by wearing a uniform made of unstable molecules.) -She can only enter or leave a computer system that has an exposed port(USB, ethernet, HDMI, etc.). Theoretically speaking, you can trap her inside a flash drive if you cover it in duct tape, because it would cover up the port. -If the computer or device she is inside is destroyed, she can be very seriously injured or even killed if she does not materialize fast enough. -She can only travel between computers if they are connected to a network. Otherwise she would have to materialize, physically walk to the next computer or device, then digitize once more. This means one can trap her inside a computer or device or force her to materialize if you disconnect or sever any network cables.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 9 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 3 xxxxxSpeed: 4 xxxxxAgility: 3 xxxxxDurability: 4 xxxxxEndurance: 3 xxxxxPower Mastery: 9
Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: Computers and technology(some would say she is intimate with them), hacking computer systems, cryptography, anything and everything cyberpunk, electronic music(particularly industrial, EBM, and synth/futurepop), cyber and rivethead/industrial fashion, geek chic, blackmail, drugs and alcohol occasionally, bothering Alex, general all-around geeky stuff(sci fi, video games, comic books, etc.) xxxxxDislikes: Boring people, stupid people(though they are fun to ******** with), overly masculine men(especially when they’re hitting on her), being rejected xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Wintermute is, in several others’ words, a manipulative b***h. She loves nothing more than to gather information on people, then use that information against them to get what she wants. More than anything she is only out to please herself, and really has no set of morals to stop her; so long as it’s fun, she will do it without caring about how evil or good it may be. In short, she is selfish and immoral, and never to be trusted.
Aside from that, she is a huge geek and a fun loving thrill seeker. Her MAIN reason for joining the X-Men was because she thought it would be fun. All lack of trustworthiness aside, she can be really easy to get along with, as she is generally not so mean to your face. She is very sexually open, and often rather forward in matters of attraction.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: [x] (the entire outfit is made out of unstable molecules, so it digitizes with the rest of her body ) xxxxxEquipment: A pair of 32 inch collapsible police batons, computer equipment xxxxxNon-mutant Related Abilities: Self-taught in most areas of computer sciences, cryptography, cryptanalysis, and information technology xxxxxOther:

Biography______________________________ xxxxxName: Leonardo Rossi xxxxxAliases: Hannibal, Rambo xxxxxCodename: Renaissance Man xxxxxPlace of Birth: New York City, NY, USA xxxxxBirthday: January 14th xxxxxCitizenship: USA
Appearance______________________________ xxxxxGender: Male xxxxxAge: 24 xxxxxRace: Caucasian xxxxxHeight: 1.8m (6ft) xxxxxWeight: 185 xxxxxHair Color: Black xxxxxEye Color: Blue xxxxxBuild: Athletic xxxxxComplexion: White xxxxxOther Attributes: Unnoticeable scars on his torso from SHIELD missions. A tiny scar on the right side of his face from a risky mission.
Education and Occupation (if any):_______________ xxxxxWork: S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, X-Man xxxxxSchools: Bachelor’s degree in History from Frontier University xxxxxTraining: Starting from age sixteen, Leonardo was trained in many forms of spycraft, martial arts, and weaponry from S.H.I.E.L.D. Also, this is where Leo gained his tactical mindset, calculating intelligence, and leadership skills. Leo’s knowledge was expanded when he learned and trained at the Xavier Institute, taking an informal leadership position occasionally while in the field. His skills were even more refined as he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: -Father: Ronaldo Rossi -Mother: Marta Rossi -Sister: Bianca Rossi -Sister: Rosalina Rossi-Webb (Married) xxxxxFriends: N/A xxxxxCurrent Team: Karabelas xxxxxFormer Teams: S.H.I.E.L.D. MORT, Junior X-Men Alpha team, S.H.I.E.L.D. MORT (under new structuring and leadership) xxxxxEnemies: HYDRA, Robert Kelly, Bolivar Trask
History ______________________________ xxxxx Marta and Ronaldo Rossi were both full-bred Italians. Soon after they married they moved to the United States to find the ‘American dream.’ All three children, Rosalina, Bianca, and finally Leonardo, were born within the six years of time that the Rossis lived in New York City. A few months after Leonardo was born, the Rossis bought a ranch in Montana and moved there. The two parents had finally found their ‘American dream’; a nice family, nice house, nice fields, nice everything. The children were well-behaved, Rosalina being more free-spirited than Bianca or Leonardo.
Leonardo fit in well to school; he made tons of friends in the small town where he lived. He was just your average kid really; no tragic deaths, no half-brothers coming to kill him in a deathly battle-royale, just normal. Leonardo did however excel in his studies more than his friends; his parents had named him after the famous Renaissance scientist and inventor in the hope that he would be a genius. Well, he wasn’t a genius, but he was clever to say the least.
His life took a rather strange turn when he turned fifteen. One day, Leonardo was playing with his cat outside when he noticed that his cat was agile enough to roughly jump about three times its height. When Leonardo suddenly came into contact with his cat, he felt a jolt of energy resonate through his body. He suddenly felt light on his toes, his muscles loosened. As Leo jumped into the air, he realized in excitement than he could jump nearly twenty feet high. It was the start of a long line of experiments in where Leonardo discovered his true ability.
Soon after Leonardo turned sixteen, his school took a trip across Europe. While traveling by train across France, a terrorist detonated a bomb on the train, ripping one car to shreds and derailing the entire train. Somehow Leo was the only survivor of the terrorist attack. He blames himself for the death of his classmates because he felt that he could have stopped it with his abilities. Leonardo promised himself that he wouldn't let that happen again. That was when he volunteered for SHIELD. Looking back, it was the stupidest thing he had ever done. He was sixteen, for God's sake; a kid, not a soldier. But somehow they saw Leo's talents and young age as the perfect opportunity to turn him into a weapon. So they decided to put Leo into the field as fast as they could. Leo was involved in a number of operations, such as hostage rescues, recon/espionage, risky snatch-and-grabs, and a number of others. His team was called MORT, the Mutant Operations and Response Team. Leonardo was placed as field team leader. The most proficient job he did though was body guarding. His young age and skills allowed him with the cover of being the boyfriend of the daughters of high-end political and business leaders. In all honesty, he hated the body guarding jobs. Most, if not all, of the teenage girls he protected were rich, stuck-up snobs who seemed to belong on an MTV reality show. But then Inez came along. She was the daughter of a rich oil executive who was the target of various eco-terrorist attacks. Leonardo was assigned to her for as long as needed. Inez was different than all of the other girls. She was beautiful, humble, and full of fiery passion. It didn't take long for Leo to fall for her and her for him. Eventually Leo's cover became a reality; he and Inez would take trips to tropical places to be 'safe from the terrorists.' Of course, Leo did actually fight off terrorists, but most of his time was spent romancing with Inez. At first, SHIELD thought it was good that Leo was romantically involved with Inez; but soon they realized that Leo started to lose his edge. Right before Leonardo turned twenty he was pulled off of the job and sent into a small country in Southeast Asia to help with a resistance movement there. Leo wasn't allowed to see Inez again until he regained the same mentality he had when he joined SHIELD. After a certain… incident in Laos, Leonardo left SHIELD because of grievances against his handler, Colonel Nadine Portman. So he left it all behind; SHIELD, Inez, his team, his life. As he returned home to reunite with his family, Leo heard about a certain facility for people like him; a school. After visiting with his family, Leonardo headed back out east, towards a place called Academy X.
It was here that Leonardo expanded and actually made friends rather than teammates. He was able to expand his abilities and skills without the fear of being whipped or electrocuted if he failed. It was so much more relaxed than SHIELD, and for that Leo was thankful. After earning his degree, Leonardo served a brief stint on the X-Men before being offered to lead a covert operations team on S.H.I.E.L.D. Nadine Portman was left SHIELD under rather… mysterious circumstances, so Leonardo was the full time leader and organizer of the new MORT.
Needless to say, MORT became one of the premiere covert operations SHIELD teams in the world. Within a span of a few years, there were countless successful missions, from assassinations to world-saving. It was also during this time that Leonardo arranged his own little side projects, such as tracking the illegal activities of Robert Kelly and Bolivar Trask.
When the X-Men were moved out of San Francisco and relocated to Australia, Leonardo left MORT in capable hands and decided to rejoin the X-Men to aid them in their desperate hour.
Mutation: Animal Mimicry__________ xxxxx Leonardo has the ability of animal mimicry, which is mimicking the properties of certain animals. Although, Leonardo cannot mimic the properties of animals that would require certain limbs or appendages that he doesn't own; such as the flight of a bird. Since Leonardo doesn't have wings, he cannot fly. Also, the way that Leo obtains his 'animal powers' is specific. Firstly, Leo must come into physical contact with the animal. After contact is made, Leo can retain the ability of that animal for four days. Leo can retain up to four abilities at the same time. The levels of Leo’s abilities are proportional to the size of the animal they are drawn from. Hence, drawing the strength from an ant would allow him to lift 50 times his own body weight. However, taking the abilities of a larger animal does not result in diminished power for him. This is apparent because he mostly has to take abilities from insects since they are the most easily accessible.
Since Leonardo has to 'recharge' his ability every four days, he has a miniature zoo that he keeps in the closet of his room (also includes aquarium). The animals (and the abilities he copies from them) include:
- The strength of an ant. (Able to lift roughly 4.5 tons) - The speed of an ant. (Can run up to 55mph) - The jumping ability of a flea. (Can jump up to 200 times his body length) - The agility of a spider. (Can jump up to 80 times his body length) - The endurance of a cockroach. (Radiation resistance, can go about half an hour without oxygen, etc.) - The reflexes of a mantis shrimp. - The eyesight of a mantis shrimp. - The enhanced sense of smell of a moth. - The enhanced hearing of a moth. - The regenerative abilities of a salamander. (Used to restore lost limbs and organs. Has to be hospitalized for the ability to take effect.) - The venom of a cobra. (Only used on stealth assassination missions. He has to bite his target.) xxxxxxxxStrengths: This ability allows Leonardo to be extremely versatile. Combined with his tactical prowess and other skills, this turns Leonardo into a deadly weapon. xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: As stated above, Leo can only hold on to an ability for four days. If he is captured and confined to where he cannot come into contact with an animal for that amount of time, then he would be virtually powerless. Also, Leonardo can use only one ability at a time; he likens this to light switches: only one can be flipped on at a time. Lastly, if Leo is forced to mimic an animal that is too powerful for him, his brain could overload and he could be knocked unconscious or even placed into a coma.

Personality Traits____________________ xxxxxLikes: Reading, running xxxxxDislikes: Horseplay, arrogance, ignorance xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Leo is a very cold and serious type of guy while on a mission, and casual and calm off the field. He’s been described as under-reactive; things don’t faze him too much. Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Pictured right xxxxxEquipment: His tactical gear A liquid grappling hook device disguised as a pen.

Relations______________________________ xxxxxRelatives: Nigel Littleton - Father (Mutation - Zoologist); Marianne Littleton - Mother (No Mutation - Botonist); Trevor Littleton - Little Brother (No Mutation - Student); Leona Littleton - Little Sister (No Mutation - Student); Chloe Littleton - Adopted Little Sister (No Mutation Yet - Cutie Pie). xxxxxFriends: Aren Aquene
xxxxxCurrent Team: Sabres xxxxxFormer Teams: Student X-Men Team; X-Men Reserves; Shadows; Aegis xxxxxEnemies: Kain
History ______________________________ xxxxx Sheana Littleton was born into the typical American family. Her father was one of the nation’s most prominent zoologists, her mother a well-respects botanist in her own right, and together the three made quite the happy family. She was brought up with a respect and appreciation for nature and the creatures in it, and found it easy to make friends with those her own age. She was not very old when her brother was born, and while she resisted him at first, they grew to be close playmates, mostly because Sheana liked to play all the outdoorsy games that her younger brother wanted to play. The one real “girly” activity that she enjoyed was gymnastics, which she went to every week. While she wasn’t a prodigy by any means, she did well on the balance beam and certain floor exercises, something that she continued to do into her adult life.
As she grew, she found it much easier to connect with boys than girls, though she had a fair share of friends in both genders. Her personality brightened the room as she started school and her teachers all marveled at the ease with which she adjusted to new settings. She was almost 10 when her little sister was born, and she delighted in the older sister role that she enjoyed over her younger siblings. While she was a bright student, it was clear that her main priority was her social relationships with others, something that often got her into trouble. Still, she was about as happy as any young girl could be with a lot of friends, decent grades, an entertaining family and confidence out the wazoo. Most people insist that it was her confidence that got her through the tough transition of discovering that she was a mutant.
At the age of 14, upon entering puberty, Sheana’s powers manifested themselves in a pretty violent way. If she opened her locker door a little too hard, she could rip it right off the hinges. Tugging a little too hard on her MasterLock would rip the whole handle of the locker right off. Throwing a baseball during P.E. could easily break the poor catcher’s hand. These strange incidents and more started to unravel Sheana’s world until her parents pulled her aside and explained to her that her father had a special ability, like she did. He was quick to explain to her that there were responsibilities that came with having a power, and because of that she was going to have to consciously monitor herself, even in the most mundane social situations. He proceeded to help her learn to control her strength in public, and while she had problems at first, it became easier as the days progressed into months.
Thanks to the support she got from home, and the confidence she had in her own self, she was able to weather the slue of rumors that followed her around, and finish out her Freshman year of high school without much incident. However, at the start of her sophomore year, her family was visited by a Professor Charles Xavier, who explained that he ran a school specifically for mutant youth, and that Sheana would further learn to control her powers while attending classes.
It was pretty much a no-brainer that she attended the academy, and in her time there she closely shadows some of the Junior X-men, learning that her ability could be more than just showing off. Her time at the school was well spent, allowing her to surround herself with new friends who were going through many of the same things that she was, and learning that there was nothing wrong with using the abilities she was given. During her time at the school, she was consistently active with the student teams, and enjoyed going on the missions they were given.
Upon graduation, Sheana was put in the X-men reserves at her own request, eager to help out those that had taken her in during her time of need, and went on several missions with them when she was on break from continuing her education. While intended to go to college for Zoology, to follow in her father’s footsteps, she ended up coming to the conclusion that she had to do something with her ability that made her the happiest. While she was appreciative of her father’s guidance and help in controlling her power, she knew that there was more work to do, and so she decided to take on a full time membership with the San Francisco branch so she could be closer to her family.
Her time at the San Francisco base was as exciting as he hoped it would be, though during a riot against mutants in the city she was one of the students captured by the Sentinels and taken to a lab. The torture she endured there had a lasting impact on her personality. While her physical wounds were able to be healed, she found it difficult to return to her vivacious self, instead faking a smile and interest in anything to keep others from worrying about her any more than they already were. Taking residence in their new base in Australia, Sheana spends the majority of time trying to work through her new issues while adjusting to her "new" life.
Mutation: Super-Strength__________ xxxxx Sheana’s bones are much denser than normal humans, allowing her to lift incredible amounts of weight without physical damage to her body. This does not mean that she is impervious to harm – she still bruises like a regular human, and her joints get stiff with over-exertion. It just takes more damage to break her than it would a normal human. One example of this in action is that she can punch through a concrete wall without breaking a bone, though that doesn’t stop her hand from hurting if she does this consistently.
Currently, she is able to lift several tons at a time with relative ease, though anything much heavier than a car tires her out much faster than lesser amounts of weight (a car weighs 2 tons on average). More energy is needed to throw the object she picks up, so simply lifting things is easier for her than tossing them around. She is also able to build up quite a bit of momentum considering her relative size and strength, which comes in handy in a fight. The more weight she picks up, the quicker she exhausts herself, limiting the amount of time she can fight at that caliber.
xxxxxxxxStrengths: Her denser bones mean that she is more durable in combat, and can take quite a beating. She is good for busting through walls and can be a good tank when the situation calls for it. She can use heavier things as shields for herself or others when the time calls for it. Her strength also gives her the ability to use her surroundings – if she can get a grip on it she can generally pry it loose and use it. Furthermore, depending on the opponent, she shock power of her appearance versus her power can give a good element of surprise to a situation.
xxxxxxxxWeaknesses: Depending on the weight of things around her, she could quickly tire herself out by consistently lifting and throwing heavy things. When this happens she is pretty much useless and just has to hope that the enemy can’t hit her hard enough to do much real damage. Because of the amount of energy associated with any aspects of her power, she is almost always eating. If she is malnourished, her powers are significantly affected, and often cannot be used at all. While the damage she can do is quite extensive, she is not the quickest and when she is in the process of lifting something she can be quite vulnerable to attack.
Power Grid________________________ xxxxxIntelligence: 3 xxxxxPhysical Strength: 8 xxxxxSpeed: 5 xxxxxAgility: 4 xxxxxDurability: 7 xxxxxEndurance: 5 xxxxxPower Mastery: 6 xxxxx------------------------------- xxxxxTotal Stat Points Used: (38 / 40)
Personality Traits____________________
xxxxxLikes: Anything shiny. Anything that involves physical activity, including hiking, rock climbing, running, going to the gym, swimming – you name it, she has probably done it. Long bubble baths to relax the muscles. Talking to boys, especially cute boys. Slumber parties with her best girl friends. Embarrassing her younger brother and loving on her little sisters. Mani-pedis with her mom, and visiting the zoo with her dad.
xxxxxDislikes: Ignorance or intolerance of other people. Snakes and spiders. Being ignored. People thinking she is helpless. People who waste food. Girls who flirt with the boys she flirts with. Men always asking her to arm wrestle, not believing that she is stronger than them. Being called a ditzy blonde.
xxxxxGeneral Disposition: Sheana is just a genuinely entertaining person. She doesn’t have a qualm with anyone until they give her a reason not to like them. Sometimes she can be overly bubbly, always trying to make the best of a situation, and while she tries to approach everything with a sense of humor, it is often a sense of humor that not many other people understand. When it comes to boys, she can be a shameless flirt, though her standards for someone to actually be in a relationship with are rather high. She values family and friends above all else, and will stop at nothing to protect them in times of trouble.
She tends to get overly excited about things, and when this happens she has to be quite cautious around others. One wrong swing of the arm could do some real damage if she isn’t careful. While she tries not to be a klutz, she does end up breaking things from time to time, though always by accident. Despite many of the stereotypical traits of a blonde being present in her behavior, she resents being called such. She also hates it when people underestimate her power because of her appearance, and always takes great delight in their shocked expressions when she treats them to a demonstration.
Miscellaneous____________________ xxxxxUniform: Sheana's uniform consists of a black catsuit with spaghetti straps. There is (team color) detailing on the corset-style top of the suit, and (team color) lining on her boots. While there is a slight heel to her boots, they are reinforced to avoid slipping and also to prevent the heel from snapping if she lifts heavy weight. A small (team color) X appears on her belt buckle.
xxxxxEquipment: None as of yet
