Superhuman Ability: Daylia has the power of Molecular Manipulation.
The first part of the mutation gives her the ability to blend in with her surrounding much like that of a chameleon. This is the base of her power which she has come to control so far. The next step in her ability is to camouflage her heat signature, allowing her to become invisible against her background to the human eye and heat seeking objects.
The second part of the mutation gives her the ability to become intangible. This ability is extremely unpredictable and uncontrolled at this time. Under a controlled mind she would be able to make her body untouchable, which would be quite useful. The ability allows objects to pass though her, though she still remains visible. A draw back to this power is that if anything is passing though her at the time that the gift deactivates, it will remain stuck. Though for some reason the gift will not allow her to pass though objects such as doors or walls, and is only used as a defensive power.
Personal Strengths: Her quick wits, sarcasm, and pigheadedness. Personal Weaknesses: Her inability to let others in right away and the fact that she never cared to do much working out to strengthen herself. She also has a fear of water and tight closed in spaces. Personality: Daylia can be sweet, but is often found in a sour mood. She finds humor in irony and inappropriate jokes. She prefers to fight with words or looks rather than physical contact. She loves sarcasm and dry humor and laughs at inappropriate times, especially during serious situations. Most of this hides her true feeling though, in hopes to discourage people from getting too close. Hobbies: Practical jokes, not only can she dish them, she can take them as well. Horror movies and anything to do with the supernatural.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Daylia wants harmony above anything else. She doesn't want anyone to loose those that they love, human or mutant. No one deserves to go though the tragedy she herself had to face. Though the world is unfair, she has hoped that one day things will work out, despite how she acts.
History: Daylia grew up in a large family holding ten members including herself. Daylia was the first born of the triplets and had been very close to the other two (Delila and Damon). She had an older sister (Maelona), three younger brothers (Chris, Alexander, and Jamie), and one younger sister (Sarah) along with her mother and father (Cerise and Tristan). They love each other as only a family could. Early on it was eve dent that not all of the children were normal. People referred to them as mutants. They had gained the mutations from their mother. Five of the children followed in their mother steps, gaining their own mutations, of those five it included Maelona, the triplets and Alexander. Despite what some might think, within the family they were accepted and loved just as much as the non-mutant children.
Despite the love they held for one another within the large family, the outside world, for the most part, looked down upon them because of their gifts. They were often picked on, but Maelona and Daylia took the brunt of it. They would often be found in arguments with other children and even a few fights because they wanted to protect the others in the family. From an early age, Daylia hardened herself towards the world, just so she could protect her other siblings. People would try and tease her, only to have her tear them apart with her words, and in most cases making the other children cry. Her mother knew this was not healthy, and tried everything possible to help her child not hate the entire world. Daylia made it evident she didn't, but only wished that they would simply be accepted.
The family knew nothing about the place that accepted them for what they were. They knew of other mutants, though it usually just included the ones that hated the world at attacked those that were innocent. At sixteen Daylia was horrified to learn of the man who called himself Magneto. He had practically destroyed New York, just when things seemed to be changing for the mutant community. He killed innocent people and ruined the chance that mutants had to be accepted. Days after the event, angry men and woman rallied in Cleveland, targeting the mutants that lived there. They managed to kill a few of the mutants, including five of her own family members.
Daylia still remembers the event like it happened yesterday.
It was the dead of the night, Daylia and Maelona were up late, catching up with one another after Maelona had come home from college. Everything seemed normal, peaceful. Daylia had learned that Maelona was engaged and due to tell the family at dinner the next day. Daylia was delighted with the news that she would get to meet this man within the next two days or so, when they were interrupted by rather loud yelling from the outside of the house. They both went to the door to see what was going on, and what they saw shocked them. A group of about fifteen people gathered outside the house with crude weapons in hand. A lot of the people they had recognized. They were yelling and calling for the mutants to come out.
Maelona instructed Daylia to wake the rest of the family, which she did, leaving her sister by the door. She still regrets leaving her sister. She woke her mother and father first, explaining what was going on upstairs and outside on the street. She was then instructed to go upstairs and fetch the other children, and to hold on to the baby. Her parents followed her upstairs, and met with Maelona as Daylia continuned though the rest of the house. She grabbed the four year old baby Jamie first before rounding up the others in the house, though as she entered the last room, a loud banging noise reached her ears. She peeked out of the window for a moment, seeing that the rioting group had made their way from the street to their lawn and porch. Another bang came to her ears, though this one shook the house.
With the baby in hand Daylia led the family downstairs, only to see that the people from the outside had forced their way in, killing their mother and older sister first. Their father went to them, ushering the children back up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms, locking the door behind them, though it proved futile.
The mob broke down the door with ease, and once it was down six shots were heard before anyone had even spotted the gun. Two bullets made contact with Daylia, one grazing her shoulder and the other into her leg. She had hit her knees instantly, tears forming in her eyes. She ignored the pain, sheltering the four year old with her body. Her instincts took over then, she needed to do something or they would all die. She focused all she could, summoning up something she wanted the crowd to see. To the crowed it appeared that smoke had enveloped the family, and once it dissipated, the room appeared empty, save for the bloody puddles around the room. She had warned them with a motion of her hand to remain still and quiet, hoping the people would think they had gotten away.
To Daylia'a amazement, it worked. The people stood dumbfounded, and shouted angrly at one another that the family had escaped. It took fifteen minutes for the crowd to accept the implanted fact before leaving. Once it was clear, the image fell, revealing the badly injured family. Alexander, the youngest of the mutants had died from a gunshot to the head. Delila and Damon bled to death, both of a gunshot wound to a major artery. Daylia thought for the beefiest moment that she would soon join them.
When it was clear, the remaining five members of the family took off in the van, making it to the nearest hospital. Daylia's wounds were not fatal, and she was easily saved. She had to spend six days in the hospital in which time a mutant, claiming to be from a school for people like her visited. He explained everything about the school to her and the remnants of her family. With tear filled eyes, her father encouraged her to go, says that she would be safe there. She didn't want to leave her family, not with the tragedy that had befallen them, but she thought that if she stayed, she would be the cause of another attack.
Daylia made up her mind to join the school after the funeral of her family, so she may keep the others safe from those that might hunt her.
Name: Tara Nicole Kiernan Codename: Landslide Academy X Team: Alpha
Age: 18 Birthday: April 28, 1991 Hair: Brown with some natural, sun-kissed blonde highlights. Eyes: Brown Skin Tone: Like her hair, she seems to have a sun-kissed tan, mostly because she loves spending time outside. Height: 5’9” Weight: 149 lbs Build: She looks rather thin for her height, which almost gives her a willowy appearance. However, she is really much more solid than she looks, making her looks rather deceiving. Race/Nationality: American Notable Characteristics: n/a Uniform: Her uniform consists of a strapless black catsuit, blue gloves that come up to the middle of her bicep and blue, thigh-high boots. A black belt fits her waist like a glove, and sometimes she wears large jewelry that her father gave her. Standard Dress: Tara does not really have a definitive “style.” She tends to wear whatever is at the front of her closet, whether that be a simple tee and jeans or a nice party dress and heels. There is a sort of ease about her that makes her look fashionable, even if she just woke up, threw on some jeans and put some mascara on. In her mind, it isn’t so much the clothes as the attitude she wears with them. She does like things that show off her figure, while still practical, because with her power there is little she can do to keep her clothes dust free
Superhuman Ability: Geokinesis. Tara can take control of and bend the earth around her. This is typically limited to the soil and rocks in the immediate area. Substances that have rock or earth in them, such as concrete, can be controlled, though it is slightly more difficult because of the other substances’ presence in the mix. She can also command mud, though the thicker it is, the easier it is for her to control. This is a skill she had to learn, as it got annoying having to clean her clothes every time she got a little mud on them.
Sand requires intense concentration to command because of its fluid nature, and because of this she cannot control it for very long. She prefers to keep her feet on solid ground, as the expression goes.
Because of her power, she is also very sensitive to changes in the earth and can read vibrations in the immediate area. The only way this is really used for now is to tell when someone or something is approaching, though she only has approximately a 20 foot radius at the moment. It still comes in handy.
While in the future she might learn how to summon the earth to her, for now she needs to be in contact with the earth in order to move it. The only exception to this is in cases of extreme danger – if she is falling from a plane, she could summon something to catch her, but the toll it would take on her body would leave her weak and unable to use her powers for an extended period of time.
Abilities (not gained from mutation) : Tara has excellent memory for things that she has read or seen in movies or documentaries. Because of this, she is able to easily recall random facts about things, and does so on a regular basis. If there is ever a trivia contest, it would be wise to have her on your side. As she always says, she is full of useless information, though she likes thinking that she knows something that others don’t. Again it plays into her desire to be better than everyone else.
The very nature of her powers makes her adept at gardening, which she enjoys, as well as rock climbing, which she often does without the aid of any safety equipment. She might not be the strongest girl around, but she can climb a Cliffside as easily as walking down the street, though she has help of course. Non-mutant Power Skills: Gymnastics (Beginner); Martial Arts (Beginner)
Place of Birth: Family: Father – Kiernan Mother – Laila Morris-Kiernan Step Mother – Margo Flyte Step Brother – Dorian (Mutant)
Personal Strengths: Tara is very confident, making her a good person to come talk to when you have a problem. She is not afraid to tell you how it is, though sometimes she could use come help in the tactfulness category. Because of her personality, Tara is good at seeing the larger picture of a situation and seeing which events she needs to manipulate to get the best outcome for herself. While her book smarts are not necessarily above average, her approach to real life situations suggests an uncanny understanding of the events around her and the ability to remain calm and objectively look at a situation. She is good about getting things done when the time calls for it, but she would never blindly follow orders that she does not agree with. She is good at taking criticism in stride, mostly because she doesn’t really care what anyone else thinks about her. Personal Weaknesses: Sometimes, Tara can be a bit manipulative, especially if she knows that she has something that is in demand. This is not to say that she is vindictive, but she is not above using whatever assets she has to further her own interests. Ironically, she can sometimes go to the other extreme, where she rejects needed help (most often from the males) in order to prove that she can do things herself.
Personality: Tara knows who she is, what she wants in life and how to go about getting it. This makes her confident in the things she says and does, and it take a lot for her to second-guess herself once she has made a decision. She tends to act a lot older than she actually is, which has sometimes gotten her in trouble. No matter what happens; however, she knows that her father will take her side, as she is a notorious “daddy’s girl”. She likes to command attention when she walks in the room, and a lot of this probably comes from the affection that her father dotes on her. She is used to getting her way, and that is how it will stay.
One of the things she hates the most is when people underestimate her, and it is this pet peeve that often destroys relationships with men in particular. While she is not against romance and chivalry, she hates the idea of a man thinking her incapable to taking care of herself, especially when she could level them with practically a wave of her hand. While she can be quite difficult to get along with, when someone makes it into her inner circle, they are stuck there. Hobbies: Tara pretty much loves anything that includes the outdoors. Rock climbing is always at the top of her list, especially without the “safety” equipment that most are used to. Frankly, she just doesn’t need it. Aside from typical outdoor activities, she really enjoys gardening, where she can get her hands and feet in the soil. She also enjoys sports, particularly football and soccer, where she can pretty much hold her own against almost any opponent.
View on Human/Mutant Relations: It is clear that Tara understands why mutants are superior to humans. Despite her father always telling her that she had to be cautious around them, she hates the thought of them thinking they could best her in a fight. She protects them because she has to -- because through that action she asserts power over them. It's a rather complicated view, to say the least. History: Tara’s parents divorced when she was really young, ending what was a childhood of competing parents, trying to win her affections. When they split, she lived with her father, mostly because her mother seemed to want nothing to do with her, and he was a daddy’s girl from a very young age. One of the consequences of this was that she became a bit of a tomboy, preferring to play sports and whatnot with the other boys her age than frequent the mall with the girls of her class.
It was not until her powers developed that she really appreciated why she was always drawn to the outdoors. When she was on a camping trip with her dad, the two were on a hike when her dad took an unexpected tumble over a ravine. In a true display, she found that she could manipulate the rock around him to keep him from falling to certain doom, simultaneously revealing herself as a mutant to the man that meant the most to her.
While he understood and was grateful for her quick thinking and apparent control of what she could do, he felt the need to protect her from the hate that was sure to come from the outside. She never understood of this was because he had some port of power as well, or if it was just his concern, but every time she pushed the point he would never tell her anything. Despite his coddling, Tara began to use her powers to her advantage rather than growing to fear it and keep it in control, as he would have liked.
Tara took great delight in asserting herself at school, often causing those that offended her to trip over rocks or bumps in the concrete. No one could ever prove anything, and when someone did try to continue the altercation she was quick to dispatch of it. She developed into the girl that everyone whispered about – the girl that was shrouded in mystery. Strange things happened to those that stood in her way, and so people learned either to get and stay on her good side, or to fear her.
When she entered high school, her father announced that he was going to marry the woman he had been seeing, meaning that she was not only going to have a new mother, but a new step brother as well. The moment she laid eyes on Dorian, she knew that he was going to be a lot of fun. Even though he was older than she by a few years, she quickly realized that she could influence him when a bat of her eyelashes or the promise of a slice of pizza. It is an interesting dynamic between the two, Tara constantly talking Dorian into doing for her whatever she wanted. If she did something to get herself in trouble, it was amazing how often she could get Dorian to take the fall for her.
As her powers continued to develop, her parents decided to send her to Academy X, where she could learn to control them and prevent causing destruction that would draw attention to her and prevent her from having a normal life. What they seem to misunderstand is that Tara wants nothing of the “normal” life her family sees for her, and instead wants to forge her own life with her own objectives.
Miscellaneous: -x- Tara’s favorite color is, not surprisingly, green. -x- Her favorite food is deviled eggs. -x- She is a completely devoted Daddy’s girl, though it's hard to tell if she really means it, or just likes to get her way. -x- She is a registered Democrat. -x- Tara is a lefty. -x- Tara has broken several bones, each with their own story if someone were to ask her about it.

Terrakenisis or the ability to manupulate the earth and other natural minerals.)
Superhuman Ability: Absorption of memories, skills, and powers through skin to skin contact. The longer the contact occurs, the longer she will retain the abilities or memories. If she maintains contact for long enough, the absorption is permanent. (Rogue's and Lillian's cancel each other out. They are the only ones each other can touch without harming the other.)
New Mutant Power ability: She is beginning to learn to recall powers. For now she only has access to the magical abilities she drained from the wizard Dorian in Avalon. And it is that ability that made her wonder if the other powers and such were still there seeing as the fragments of memories and personalities are.

Her trust is hard to gain it is almost impossible to regain. If Anuki doesn't like someone chances are Lillian will be the same. She trusts the wolf's insticts since he has proven so far to be a good judge of character. Especially since he didn't like her step mother and brother. The only people besides Anuki she goes to when she has a problem or just needs a shoulder to cry on is Rogue or Narcissa. Hobbies: She loves to read, listen to and write music, write stories. She also loves to solve puzzles like the rubix cube and the like. Also she loves to go on morning runs with Anuki.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Mutants are humans. Only difference is genetics. The same thing that makes two star athletes different is genetics. So she doesn't understand why the hatred for mutants it. It is wrong to hate a person simply for their ethnicity why is it different to hate someone simply because they have extraordinary abilities.
History: Lillian was born to Nathaniel and Kira Jordan, in Juneau Alaska. She grew up loved by both her parents. Her father is a surgeon in the local hospital. He was even the doctor to see to her birth. Her mother was one of the top veterinarians in the world. She seemed to almost have the ability to talk to the animals and no matter how aggressive none would ever growl or harm her mother.
Lillian absolutely adored her mother she was extremely close with her. She was in a way Lillian's best friend. She shared everything with her mother. And on her mothers urging Lillian studied Kung Fu with her grandfather Teo. He had also trained her mother after he had adopted her.
Her life had been great until a monstrous man known as Sabertooth came to town. For some unknown reason Sabertooth attacked Lillian's mother animal clinic. His goals were unknown but the result was almost every animal and person in the clinic including her mother were killed. To this day she hates and fears Sabertooth. That happened 4 years ago. Lillian was never the same after the event. Instead of being the happy out going girl she seemed to retreat back into herself almost. The only person who could get a word out of the girl was Teo her grandfather. He had also given her a small wolf pup by the name of Anuki.
Then the 2 years ago horrific things happened. One of the horrific things was her father married a dreadful woman. Who along with her son acted like they were gods gift to the world. What her father saw in that woman was beyond Lillian. Then there was the night her powers had become active. She was so scared and frightened. She had been attacked by a local gang on her way home. She had used her knowledge of Kung Fu to defend herself. Then it happened she grabbed one of the men from behind and was going to throw him over her shoulder. A weird feeling came over her, she felt an almost flow of energy from the man in her grip and herself. The man was thrown through a light post. It turned out he was a mutant and with her sudden display of strength the others ran off. Her head swam with unknown images and thoughts. When she finally made it home she pulled the door off it's hinges. Her step mother had seen it and knew right away that the girl before her was a mutant. Arguments ensued and much to Lillian's heart ache her father sided with his new wife and kicked Lillian out of the house and disowned her.
With no home and no one else to turn to she called her grandfather. He wasted no time in picking the girl up and bringing her back to his place. Then once he calmed her down, he explained that she was special a mutant. And after hearing her story about the gang member and the flow of energy, he had come to the conclusion she was like a famous mutant he had heard about and was a friend of a friend. He told her she needed to wear long sleeves, long pants and gloves. And unfortunately would have to make sure to avoid skin contact with other people. Lillian was devastated to hear that, she was a very physical person. She loved giving and getting hugs, so to suddenly be dealt that was a hard thing to take.
Over the next two years she lived with her grandfather. The only person in the world she believed to care about her. Then one morning she returned home from a run with Anuki to find her grandfather had passed away in his sleep. A few days later the funeral was held she had gone through an address book her grandfather had and informed the people of his passing. The one surprise was the only man who came to her grandfathers funeral was a man by the name of Logan. He had arrived at the home where the funeral and burial were taking place. It was her grandfathers last wish to be buried in his garden.
She was left everything her grandfather owned which was a considerable amount of money as well as the land he owned in both Japan and Canada, as well as controlling interest in the Nagasaki corporation. Logan had attempted to comfort the girl and when he had read a letter written to him by Lillian's grandfather he was told about her mutation and that it was his wish that she go to Xavier's. Logan tried to convince her to go but she always refused. After a week he left and in his place a beautiful woman with long brown hair and a white streak in front arrived.
Anuki was the first to great this person. Lillian had never seen Anuki so friendly with anyone as fast as he was with this woman. It was like he could tell the two were very alike. Rogue had spent the next week working on convincing Lillian to return with her to Xavier's. Like before Lillian only refused. Then Rogue told her that she was a mutant with the very ability Lillian possessed. When Lillian asked her to prove it Ms. Rogue did something that scared Lillian. Rogue kissed her on the forehead. It was skin to skin touch what her grandfather had warned her about. But what surprised Lillian most was that nothing was happening. It seemed that their abilities must cancel each others out. She broke down at that moment and cried as she clung to the woman before her. For once she didn't have to be afraid to touch someone for fear of hurting them. The next day Lillian closed off her grandfathers property and traveled to the Xavier institute.
Lillian's time at the institute had been a hectic one for sure. The first few missions she had been on caused her powers to become unstable. The serum infected mutants that were turned into brain washed super soldiers by Sinister's minions wreaked havoc on her. Seems that since the serum impacted their powers heightening their effect so was the effect on Lillian when she copied thier abilities. As their personalities had taken a stronger hold and it was harder to keep her own unaffected even after the powers faded. So she sadly then had to leave the Paragons and the institute for while.
She returned her secluded property in Canada to work on gaining control of herself once more. With the help of Rogue and Prof. Xavier she was able to regain her control. When she returned it had been near a year since her departure, and things changed around the institute. Mainly the Paragon's team was no longer a team and was split between the Alpha's and the Omega's junior Xmen teams that had once been the New Mutants and the Helions respectively. It was nice upon her return Lillian was no where near as stuck in her shell as she was before. She instantly was drawn to the Omega leader. Probably to prove she wasn't at all as her reputation would indicate if you gave her a chance. She and the Omega leader soon became close and she was one of the few the Omega leader let in. And in turn Lillian found that Narcissa was one of the only people in the world Lillian could touch and not fear killing thanks to her powers. That revelation brought a big relief to the girl, prior to that Rogue had been the only one.
When the incidents in Limbo went down she was held back to serve as one of the emergency medics just encase. She wasn't pleased with that decision but later learned it was probably for the best. As if Lillian had drained Cissa's powers to help combat her and keep others alive, likely the intense brain washing would of taken over if not through her own into a struggle for dominion. Which would of hindered the others by having an unstable element to deal with or a second Narcissa to deal with. And seeing how close it came to losing a few people if it were to happen then they would of lost many if not much much worse.
Once things were taken care of on her return to the institute she once again had to leave. Though this time it was business matters. As owner of the Nagasaki corporation she is needed from time to time to help handle business usually it was something she could do from the institute as it was just going over quarterly reports and the occasional business proposal. That was all generally handled by her Proxy and long time business partner of her deceased grandfather. But this time they needed her help in another capacity. Lillian was called in to be well a pretty face. It was a shrewd tactic using Tony Stark's notorious womanizing nature against him. But it didn't matter the purpose of the deal was important enough to forgive that. She was to get Stark Industries to agree on building an arc reactor in Japan to help provide free energy to the Japanese people. The project would also serve as a test to see into possibly bringing the arc reactors to other countries around the world.
People she has absorbed: Two unknown mutants: super strength Kira(serum enhanced): Water Manipulation ???(serum enhanced: Fire Manipulation Wizard of Avalon: Magical ability and knowledge Colossus: Transform: metalic skin, durability, and super strength Gideon(Veritas): Wolverine clone Victor: Diamond form with super strength. Elixir: Manipulation of organic matter. Narcissa(Solaris): Absorption of ambient energy (see bio for more info)
Character Picture:
Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:27 pm
Name: Leonardo Rossi Codename: Renaissance Man
Academy X Student Team: Alpha
Age: 20 Birthday: January 14th Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Skin Tone: White Height: 6’0 Weight: 175 lbs Build: Athletic Race/Nationality: Italian-American Notable Characteristics: Unnoticeable scars on his torso from SHIELD missions. A tiny scar on the right side of his face from a risky mission. Uniform: Pictured right. Standard Dress: He typically wears blue jeans and a t-shirt; nothing out of the ordinary. His favorite shoes are Converses.
Place of Birth: New York, NY Family: -Father: Ronaldo Rossi -Mother: Marta Rossi -Sister: Bianca Rossi -Sister: Rosalina Rossi-Webb (Married)
Superhuman Ability: 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 two days. Leo can retain up to three 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 two days, he has a miniature zoo that he keeps in the closet of his room. The animals (and the abilities he copies from them) include:
- The strength of an ant. - The speed of an ant. - The jumping ability of a flea. - The agility of a spider. - The reflexes of a fly. - The enhanced sense of smell of a moth. - The enhanced hearing of a moth.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): Leo can play the piano, yet is a bit rusty since he hasn’t practiced in awhile. Since Leonardo had to travel to many places for his S.H.I.E.L.D. missions, he knows the basic levels of a few languages: Spanish, French, German, and Chinese. By birthright he speaks fluent Italian.
Non-mutant power skills: Wilderness Survival (Intermediate) Martial Arts - Krav Maga - (Intermediate) Scuba diving (Beginner) Surveillance (Intermediate)
Personal Strengths: Leonardo is very dedicated; if he puts his mind to something, he’ll accomplish it. After the train incident, he is also extremely protective of people, whether he knows them or not. Personal Weaknesses: He can’t make friends easily; he’s afraid to be hurt again. Also, if he gets too focused on something, he completely ignores other things. Although talking about the past is relatively easy for him, anything concerning the train explosion incident makes him cold and insecure. Leo can seem to be awkward and shy at times. Personality: Leo is a very casual-serious type of guy. He’s been described as under-reactive; things don’t faze him too much. Hobbies: Playing the piano, reading, running.
Mutant/Human Relations View: At the moment, he could care less about the situation. If he were to think upon it, Leo would more than likely decide that normal humans can just deal with mutants; it’s not like they’re going anywhere.
History: 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. 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 loose his edge. Right before Leonardo turned eighteen 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.
It didn't take long until Inez started to look for Leo. Eventually a drunken SHIELD agent got bribed into telling her family his location. Inez boarded the first plane to Asia, but she had to take a bus in order to get to where Leo was. As luck was to have it, the bus was raided and Inez was taken captive by the militants. When Leonardo heard about it, something snapped within him. He ran out as fast as he could to try and find Inez; independent of the SHIELD team he was assigned to.
Leo found them as they were transferring Inez to another military camp. His knife that was concealed in his boot normally used for defense was now used as a deadly weapon. His speed of an ant ability made it easy for him to take the group of militants by surprise. In conjunction with the agility of a spider and the strength of an ant he was slashing through men and snapping necks like some type of ninja commando. Leonardo had turned into a beast; a raging, killing machine.
As he was kneeling there in the jungle, rain dripping down from the sky, a dead body beneath him, he realized that SHIELD turned him into something terrible. Something a teenager couldn’t handle. 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. Now he’s just trying to blend in to the crowd of mutants.

Name: Roland Anton Chevalier Codename: Paladin
Academy X Student Team: Omega
Age: 18 Birthday: January 1st Hair: Black Eyes: Gold Skin Tone: White Height: 6’ 1 Weight: 220 lbs Build: Athletic Race/Nationality: American (French, English, Irish, Scottish, German, Russian)
Notable Characteristics: -He has gold colored eyes -When he experiences strong emotions, such as anger, his eyes glow brightly. -Has tattooed along his back a Celtic Cross -Tattooed along his forearms are the words “Durendal” and “Joyeuse” -Scar from the bottom of his left eye down to his jaw. When in armored form, this scar is covered in the same metal-like substance as well. He also has several scars along his knuckles and one large scar across his chest. -Roland smokes, its a coping mechanism for when he is in a stressful situation. He doesn't smoke regularly, only to alleviate stress,
Uniform: Note: This armor forms naturally over his body
Standard Dress: White button-down shirts, at times a black blazer, dark blue jeans, and a black belt. In cold weather he will wear either a black pea coat or a leather trench coat.
Place of Birth: New Orleans, Louisiana (Thought to be) Family: Unknown Mother Unknown Father Dominic LeRue- “Father”/Trainer/Handler
Superhuman Ability: Roland possesses the ability to manifest armor, which is metallic in appearance and highly flexible in composition, all across his body. The armor itself is believed to be housed within the bones along his spinal cord and rib cage. This armor provides him with the following abilities.
Armor Image:
-Heightened Strength: Roughly his strength increases to the ability to lift approximately 450 pounds.
-Agility: In his armored form, Roland has the speed, reflexes, reaction time, he normally has. (It is not decreased because the armor is akin to a second skin.
-Heightened Durability: In his armored form, the armor itself is metallic in appearance but its durability is comparable to Kevlar. The armor can take a significant amount of blunt-force trauma, some damage from bladed edge weapons, and only a few hits from small arms fire. Given time, the armor will repair itself in a semi-organic fashion.
Note: His armor can take a beating, but it does have a threshold. Once it goes beyond that point, he is able to be injured in the same way as a normal human is, hence his scarring. Also, his ability to sustain the armor under optimal conditions without any combat damage taken into account is roughly 8 hours. Time spent in his armored form following this can result in massive unhealthy weight loss as the suit jumpstarts his metabolism to keep the armor intact.
-Weapon Generation: With enough concentration, Roland is capable of generating a weapon or object that is within the maximum weight limit of about 5 pounds. He usually prefers to generate a single-handed sword. Note: His ability to generate the weapon combined with his armor is taxing, so he can maintain the weapon for roughly 2 hours. And if knocked unconscious he loses his weapon altogether.
In theory, his physical abilities and complexity of what he can manifest should grow over time and with practice.
Abilities (not gained from mutation):
Non-Mutant Power Skills: Based on the fact that he was raised in an underground mutant fighting league, unfortunately Roland possesses many skills not associated with “normal” people. Despite this he does possess a level of knowledge regarding certain fields of science in particular. anatomy and medicine (learning the most effective areas to hit a person as well as treating his wounds following a fight). While certainly not a physician in any sort, he is capable of performing field surgery on himself and others if the situation requires it. He has also been taught how to track and follow others in the times when his “father” required him to collect on bets from deadbeat betters. He has also taught himself several languages from encounters with various elements of organized crime associated with the mutant cage fighting Roland was in.
Street Fighting- Intermediate (8 years of training and fighting in underground cage fights have made him an adept fighter) Swords- Intermediate (Practiced with the weapon he generated for around 5 years) Field Medicine- Intermediate (Years of treating himself has lead to him being skilled, but not a master, of patching up wounds in a non-hospital environment) Tracking- Beginner (Much better as a child, but as his responsibilities delved into fighting, he lost his edge in this area) Able to speak the following languages: English, French, Russian, and Italian
Personal Strengths: A fighter that stays focused on the objective, has no problems or inhibitions regarding doing what some wouldn’t do.
Personal Weaknesses: Roland’s most significant weakness is that he at times will still have flashbacks to the more traumatic memories of his childhood. Despite Professor Xavier’s help, he still has certain triggers and is open to manipulation of his psyche if one were wary of his past. He also has a bit of a temper, which is great in a fight but a nightmare outside a brawl.
Important Note: When he is not manifesting the suit, he is just like any other normal human being. He is not super-powered in any way, he's just in pretty good shape and a talented fighter.
Personality: He is surprisingly social despite his background. He tends to keep his past out of conversation, and at times may drift off, remembering the fights he fought in or other traumatic memories. He has a sense of honor, something he developed from reading about the knights of old, especially his favorite knight Roland. This he claims is the reason why he has not become one of the “monsters” he fought in the cage fights. Hobbies: Training, reading, watching movies, listening to any kind of music, cooking (a newly discovered hobby he is slowly nurturing talent in).
Mutant/Human Relations View: He only hopes that no one will be treated the way he was, mutant or human, ever again.
History: Roland was born and abandoned in New Orleans, offered up as collateral to cover a massive debt to bookie Dominic LeRue. Dominic, unsure of what to do with a child, came to the conclusion that he should raise the kid, and hopefully learn how to make a few bucks off of him. The boy, whom he named Roland, began as a young collector of bets from anything ranging from horse racing to boxing. His golden eyes got him the nickname “Goldeneye” from Dominic’s associates that later stuck with him as his stage name for fights. It is here that he develops his skills in tracking and tailing betters that can’t come up with payment. He would usually track them down for his “father” and let him and his “uncles” take care of the situation. Roland developed his powers at the age of 8, as a reflex when a shelf collapsed atop of him. Seeing what the boy was capable of, Dominic immediately put him into training. The boy was soon desensitized to violence, being forced to commit horrible acts of violence upon others as he trained, one such incident would be the first time he ever committed murder, killing a rival bookie and his bodyguard for Dominic. This would not be his last as he soon began to fight within an underground network of men who would bet on cage fights between mutants. Unlike many of the other mutants, Roland was much younger than the other fighters. And despite his youth and lack of experience, he was a relatively successful cage fighter.
The boy was treated like a commodity most of the time by this point, and at the age of 10 Roland soon started to teach himself in treating his wounds using his knowledge of the body he learned that did the most damage to repair the damage inflicted upon himself. And from meeting members of this underworld, such as the Russian Mob and La Cosa Nostra, he learned how to speak Russian and Italian respectively. At age 12, he manifested his first weapon, a metal rod. Through practice he learned to convert it into a blade, soon after into a sword. Through a book Dominic left him, he came upon the legend of the French paladin Roland, his namesake, and this soon became his fantasy to ride along with the famous warrior. He enjoyed the legend so much he had the name of Roland’s sword, Durendal, and the sword of Roland’s lord Charlemagne “Joyeuse” tattooed along his right and left forearms when he was 15.
Until he was 16, he fought for Dominic. He won and lost fights many a time over the years. His final fight was in New York City, where he encountered the X-Man known as Wolverine. Wolverine had come to the fights to shut them down, succeeding with bringing police into the situation as he began to fight in the warehouse the fights were being held. Dominic in his fear of being arrested, fled the scene leaving Roland behind. Logan came upon him, and sensing that this kid needed a better life than this, took him to the Institute. He spent a year living at the mansion having “therapy” sessions with Professor Xavier, who spent a great deal of time rehabilitating Roland and helping him manage and deal with the traumas he experienced as a child. He started regular schooling at the Institute at 17, and has proven to be intelligent with a thirst for knowledge.

xxxxxxxxxxxx To say I was raised in a lavish lifestyle would be putting it lightly. I was a snobby and spoiled rich girl all my life, and I freely admit it. In hindsight, I’m sure my mother feels what happened was entirely her fault, and I completely agree. After all, it was she that taught me to be the ruthless business woman that I am. It was only natural that I use the very same things she taught me against her. And, though it certainly was not in her control, it was entirely her fault that I was a mutant born to a pitiful and disgusting creature such as a human. She should have known…
Perhaps I should explain myself further. I was born Lydia Orchid Autumn, though I’d always preferred to be referred to by my middle name, in the lovely little shithole known as Fort Lauderdale, Florida; if ever there were a more likely candidate for “Hell on Earth”… My mother was an up-and-coming fashion designer with her own little clothing label, and my father Algebra teach at a local high school. About six months after I was born we moved to New York so my mother could continue her dream to dominate the fashion industry.
Eventually she broke into the business with a bang, and money was practically falling into our pockets by the second. Before long we moved into a large mansion, and was raised spoiled with everything a beautiful young girl such as myself could ever want. I was put through the most expensive schooling one could get, excelling in art and business-related subjects. On the outside I was a gentle girl fluent in formal etiquette, but on the inside I was a selfish person with an unquenchable lust for power.
I had always been known amongst my peers for my great beauty. Many envied me, and many more lusted after me. One of my best features was always my hair. The beautiful raven locks that adorned my head was always the first thing that made people turn their heads as I passed by. But who would have thought that my hair would be the very thing that gave me power outside of my money… the one thing that made me superior to these vile creatures known simply as humans.
As my powers first manifested I began to research the work of mutant “terrorists” such as Magneto or Apocalypse… with whom I began to share an ideology. Mutation is obviously the byproduct of evolution, which means we are in every way superior. Humans should learn to accept it. They are our slaves, and they should learn to live with it… really, they should be grateful we have let them exist this long.
But words were not enough. I would have to act, and soon. My first targets? My family. Sure, they’d given birth to me… but really that was all they were good for. I suppose I should also thank them for all their assets and the like, but whatever… With a combination of the skills I had been taught and the help of a hired mutant with the power of suggestion, I conned them into signing all of their assets to me, killing the man before he could try any of his magic on me. I left the idiots with absolutely nothing, and to add insult to injury I sold everything off to the highest bidders, virtually setting me up for life money-wise.
But that was not enough. I needed to learn to hone my powers if I was going to help enslave the human race. And so, I hesitantly enrolled into the facility known simply as Academy X.

xxxxxxxxxxxxD i s p o s i t i o n → Lydia is by no means a shy woman. She can be rather brutally honest, ruthless, and judgmental to other people, but can hold her tongue when it would benefit her. She is very sexually open, and though she does not like men she is not above using her sexuality on them for her own needs. She is very confident in herself and her looks.

xxxxxxx▃▃✖▐M u t a t i o n: Prehensile Hair ↓ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
xxxxxxxxxxxxD e f i n i t i o n → Orchid’s mutation allows her to control her hair mentally. This ability allows her to use her hair as if like an extra set of limbs. This power also allows her to change the length, color, texture, thickness, etc. at will. After extensive training and use, Orchid can now use this power to sharpen her individual hair follicles enough to cut skin and weaker materials while maintaining tensile strength, similar to cheese wire.
xxxxxxxxxxxxS t r e n g t h s → Orchid essentially has many extra limbs(more like tentacles) growing out of her head that can help her with various day to day things, as well as aid in a fight. Particularly thick locks of her hair can be about as strong as her arms. Her hair can have, at her command, much higher tensile strength than would be normal, allowing for improved grappling ability; naturally, grappling is her power’s biggest strength. Being a quick thinker, she can use this power to catch her fall.
xxxxxxxxxxxxW e a k n e s s e s → Her hair can extend to only about nine feet before it becomes a physical and mental strain on her. Multiple locks of her hair do not stack added strength. Her hair can only lift about as much as she can with her arms. Hair is still hair, so while she can compress it together like a rope it still would not be able to shield her from physical injury.
