Age: 18 Birthday: March 12th Hair: Brown Eyes: Green Skin Tone: White Height: 6’0 Weight: 165 lbs Build: Athletic Race/Nationality: Caucasian Noteable Characteristics: None Uniform: Standard Dress: A button-up shirt and jeans.
Place of Birth: Seattle, Washington Family: Father – Richard Callahan Mother – Natalie Callahan Sister – Teresa Callahan
Superhuman Ability: Gravitational Manipulation – The ability to manipulate gravitational fields. Tony uses his ability in two ways: flight and super-strength. By changing the direction of how gravity pulls on his body, Tony can move upwards in self-sustained flight. He does this by controlling an invisible ‘nexus’ that pulls him the direction he wants to go. The distance of the nexus controls how much gravitational pull is exerted on his body, therefore, bringing it closer would slow him down, and pushing it further away would increase his speed. Tony’s top speed is 150 mph. Tony also uses his ability for what looks like to the outside observer as super-strength. In actuality, Tony can control the amount of force gravity exerts over any object he touches, controlling its weight. So for instance, Tony can pick up a 500-pound weight and it would only feel like a pound to him. This way, Tony can lift objects of substantial size at a 700:1 ratio, meaning that he can lift 700 pounds as if it is one pound, and so on. As for knocking out foes with considerable force, he reverses the effect that he uses for lifting objects. He merely makes his fists (or legs) heavier, to create what he calls ‘The Sledgehammer Effect’.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): Tony can speak fluent English (his native tongue… duh), and French from high school courses.
Non-mutant power skills: Video Gaming (Intermediate) Swimming (Intermediate)
Personal Strengths: His undying determination for whatever he believes in. If he truly cares deeply about something… he’ll fight for it, even until his last breath. Personal Weaknesses: Something he is unable to do, even if he tries his hardest at it, will get under his skin very easily. Personality: Tony is darker than his ‘golden boy’ personality that he had back in Seattle. He is still bitter for the mistreatment he received after he was publicly ousted as a mutant. Perfectly fine around his mutant brethren, he his reluctant to help humans as he once did. Tony can often times he described as selfish… he grew tired of helping other people, and now tries to help himself more often that he sometimes should. Hobbies: Video games. Swimming when he feels like it.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Sometimes, he wishes that humans would just can it. Humans are weak compared to mutants. He wishes that humans could all just go to an island and leave the higher evolved people to rule the world like they should.
History: Anthony Callahan was born in a middle-class family in Seattle, Washington. His dad was a dentist and his mom a stay-at-home mom. Tony was a kid who grew up on comic books… every single issue of a superhero fighting crime was in his collection. He would often in elementary school of becoming a super-hero and having awesome abilities in order to fight the bad guys. Of course he was teased and made fun of for it… but it didn’t affect Tony; he would stand on the top of the monkey bars proudly, with his red towel tied around his neck like a cape. Eventually the dream would fade in middle school… but little did Tony know that this dream would become reality in high school.
Tony had just finished his sophomore year of high school when he discovered his ability. He was helping a relative of his move out of an apartment a few blocks away from his house. While moving a rather large washing machine, Tony had so much trouble with it that he wished the appliance to weigh lighter… and it suddenly did. Tony could feel the washing machine become lighter by his own will; he was even able to lift it with one hand. Excited with his new-found power, Tony raced home to see just what had made him lift things lighter than they should be. Within a few weeks of experimentation, Tony realized that he could manipulate gravitational force on various objects that he could interact with, including himself.
That’s when the dream started all over again; becoming a costume crime-fighter. So Tony went to work, ordering a white and black wetsuit online that would fit comfortably under his clothes, along with boots, gloves, a cape, and even a full mask with goggles. As if on cue, Tony’s first day of heroic deeds yielded success; he stopped the crash of a G550 private jet, leading it to the airstrip where a large crowd was waiting for the Governor of Washington… the man that he had saved. The newspapers instantly dubbed him as Ultra-Man… which Tony had to get used to for awhile.
The next year was prosperous; Tony was able to resume his identity as Ultra-Man while joining his school’s swim team. His grades actually came up, rather than down because of his crime-fighting activity. Tony’s duties as the costumed hero ranged from helping kids find their lost pets to saving sinking cruise liners. He became the town’s hero and symbol of hope, giving him multiple accolades for heroism while serving the city and its residents. Things started to get bad after awhile, though. His grades started to slip. He couldn’t keep up with his swim team and had to give that up. The people of Seattle started to get needier… that Ultra-Man needed to do this and Ultra-Man needed to do that. That apparently saving at least a dozen citizens out of the week wasn’t enough. He needed to fix the economy and feed the homeless. The news outlets everywhere started to have stories titled: “Ultra-Man… What Could He Be Doing More?”
It all reached a head right before Tony started his senior year of high school. A notorious gangster in Seattle had issued Ultra-Man a challenge: stop crime in three different parts of the city in a certain time span or else people would die. Tony… well, Ultra-Man placed himself up to the challenge… what else could he do? First there was a bank robbery. Ultra-Man took care of that quickly. Then there was a runaway train that was a bit trickier than the first challenge. Actually, Ultra-Man finished the second challenge so easily that he managed to catch the gangster and his men at the final act; blowing up a cruise liner with a large quantity of people. Ultra-Man fought off the gangsters (and even a few hired mutants) with difficulty, having to race against the clock as the bombs were on a timer. He finished off the last criminal, battered and bruised and scarred… and still had to disarm the bombs. Not having enough time, Tony only gathered a certain number of the bombs and threw them into the sea. The remaining explosives detonated, making the ship take on water and start to sink. The ship sank three-quarters of the way before Tony was able to lift it partially and guide it to shore, weakened and out of breath.
Twenty people died… twenty families left to suffer and grieve over their lost ones. Tony was barely able to fly himself home before the media crowded against him to ask questions. As Tony rested at home (his parents found out… it had been about time), the news reports didn’t praise Ultra-Man… oh no, but blasted him for his inefficiency in not saving every single soul on the cruise liner. People came up in arms about Ultra-Man… what was his use anyways? Can’t the normal police handle things? How could they trust a mutant in a mask anyways?
So Tony left… it was his parent’s idea, and probably the best thing for him. There had been a whisper in the wind of a certain institute for mutants like him. Tony was bitter… and he needed to cool off. So he headed off to New York, hoping to find solace and peace for the first time in over a year.

Name:Aria (air-ree-uh) Kuitery (kuh-oo-it-airy) Codename: Ki (kuh-e)
Academy X Student Team: Omega
Age: 18 . Birthday: October 31st. Hair: Red. Eyes: Green. Skin Tone: Pale. Height: 5’ 9’’ Weight: 135 lbs Build: Dancers build, so thin but with muscles. Race/Nationality: Italian / French (Caucasian) Noteable Characteristics: Uniform: Black with red. Standard Dress: Usually found in dance shoes and something comfortable, yoga pants and a some sort of comfy sweater or cardigan.
Place of Birth: Atlantic City, New Jersey. Family: Mother: Traci Kuitery. Father: Unknown. No siblings.
Superhuman Ability: Aura Manipulation Tales and stories have been passed down since the dawn of time about people having ‘Auras’, that reflect your mood or energies. Through her powers Aria can not only see Auras, but she can also manipulate her own Aura. Your Aura is a direct connection to your life energy, showing how tired you are and how much fight you have left in you. People with strong Auras usually are more durable and have stronger endurance, but then there are the people that can actually use their Auras to fight. Aria is able to bend and shape her Aura to fight and protect herself. By shaping her Aura properly, and concentrating, she can turn her Aura into something physical (like armor around her body) or shape a bow and fire arrows of Auric energy. These arrows do not pierce the skin of the target, but instead cause massive bruising along with intense pain. She can also use this to cover a weapon and cause her attacks to hit harder, or cover her fists in the energy to cause more bruising and some extra pain. Her power has incredible downfalls, however. Auras are direct links to your life energy, and if used up can cause the user to pass out or even cause their internal organs to shut down and eventually kill the user if they do not recuperate fast enough and find help. If the user continues to push themselves and try to continue fighting after their Aura is used up, they can cause their Aura to backfire, going from the energy of life to the energy of death and burning the user up from the inside. (More info on the Auras) Every person has a somewhat unique Aura. Each Aura can be an array of different colours, be it a mixture of two colours (like red with specks of orange) or even three (like red with specks of yellow and orange). Then there are those, like Aria, who have solid Auras. Those with solid, one coloured, Auras are usually stronger and more often than not a mutant. Aria’s aura is a solid light purple, differing in colour depending on her mood. The colour can get to a deep purple or even a pinkish depending on her mood. Abilities (not gained from mutation) :
Non-mutant power skills: Gymnastics (12 years of classes), Dance (Modern, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Ballet, Ballroom, etc. 14 years of training)
Personal Strengths: Between her Auric powers and her speed and agility from being a dancer and acrobat she is a good hand-to-hand fighter, using her Aura to cover her fists and cause her hard hitting punches to hit even harder and the quick punches to leave a mark. Personal Weaknesses: Her powers cannot physically cut the target, and her ranged skills are unable to do more than stun the target with pain. Her hard hitting punches cause her to have to be up close and personal, and her armor is not strong enough to block much, yet. Personality: Aria is pretty laid back, but has a short fuse. She is quick to act and tends to let her temper get the best of her more often than not. She tends to protect those that are unable to protect themselves, fighting other people’s fights even thought she knows if they never fight their own fights they will never be able to protect themselves. Hobbies: Dance and acrobatics are two of her hobbies that keep her incredibly physically active, and quite fit for that matter. She also loves to curl up with a good book and get lost in the pages. She also has the secret love to knit and sew, sometimes making her own clothes and scarfes.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Aria isn’t fully sure where to stand. She knows that regardless of how the mutants act, be they harsh and cruel or kind and friendly, the humans will always be jealous and scared of them since they do not fully understand. It is human nature to hate those stronger than them, and to fear the unknown.
History: Aria was born out of anger. Her mother was raped one night on her way home from work at the casinos. Instead of getting rid of the child via abortion or adoption, she decided to keep the child. Her mother, Traci, was just turning 20 when she was raped and was not exactly in the right environment for having a child. She had a lot of money saved up, luckily, for college and as a just in case sort of deal. Her mother gave birth with no problems, and returned to work soon after while her girlfriends took turns watching the young Aria on their times off. She enrolled Aria in dance classes at the age of 4, and acrobatics classes at the age of 6. Aria had noticed that she could see strange colours around other people, different colours for each person. When she told her mother she thought nothing of it, thinking it was her imagination. In the years to come Aria slowly realized that she had a special gift, the gift to see other people’s Auras. She had done research on the internet to figure it out, naturally. She found out that it was a special power that not many people had, but many claimed to be able to do. She begin to also figure out that she could mold her Aura to do spectacular thing, finding it out first hand one night when she got incredibly mad and punched the wall, causing a small crater to fall in instead of just a small fist sized hole. She begin to slowly train herself, reading up on the internet about what other knew of the mutation. Aria was not usually the type to get into fights, but she was also not the type to sit around and watch a bigger person pick on someone smaller than them. Aria knew she had one thing over these fools, most of them were overweight and slow while she was agile and incredibly quick on her feet do to her training in dance and acrobatics. She would come to the aid of her school mates, being that she wasn’t in one of the best neighborhoods, nor school, she usually ended up with more than one opponent. Upon graduating high school, being at the top of her class, she told her mother that she was a mutant. Her mother was not surprised, and not upset. Aria told her mother of a school in New York for people like her, and she was going to head there to train and hopefully help the world. Her mother agreed, but only after she completed a year of college at home, to be sure that this is what she wanted.

xxxxxxxxxxxxLlano, Texas sits North of San Antonio, Southwest of Fort Worth, and is home to the 2,528 acre ranch that the Tanner family has owned for five generations. Long standing a dual business life – oil industry and ranching, the Tanners are well known throughout the area as tycoons and subsequently, politicians. The Tanners were no stranger to the wealth they brought into the town, and nor did the residents of Llano resent them for what they could offer; so it came as no surprise that John Tanner had enough influence to be recognized as the mayor, with many holding hopes of him running for governor next term.
It's because of this that Blake's life started without a hitch – never did the boy ever want for anything. From private tutors to horses to tend to, his life had always been relatively easy. With his parents still together, the young boy – the only son and eldest of two – couldn't have found a reason to complain. No, he wasn't much one to learn about the various men who on occasion trampled into their home, he hadn't a mind to care. It was a way of life, and his father's social activities wasn't a concern so long as he didn't have to be dragged into a room filled with circling cigar smoke and brandy, considering he'd never much taken an interest in his father's life outside of the fence posts.
Rather than focusing on the oil industry or the city county building, Blake found himself sympathizing more with the ranch, ever one to help tend the horses – nearly always in the stables with them, brushing, feeding and just spending time with the gentle giants. From a few American Creams, to Suffolks to Hackneys, he grew up with an appreciation of the most common breeds to the rarer ones – intent on showing and breeding what horses they kept. And while the family was well off, Blake was expected to care for the horses daily, and learn the ropes of the ranch “from the bottom up,” as his father would say. The family lands had been promised to him when he was at the right age and mentality, as were the side businesses that had their name painted all over the town.
There is far more to speak about his father and his business arrangement, but to waste the time on it now leaves little to be discovered, so we should move on to the part that actually matters to you...
Blake was fully ignorant of his mutant gene until an accident happened on the ranch, wherein he accidentally “glued” two of his horses together when breaking them into being ridden, so that they could safely harness a saddle to them. It took hours to get the pair apart... and after a few more mishaps around the farm, Blake had a group of visitors intrude into the Tanner home, who spoke of an institute in New York that could help him learn to tame his gifts. Terrified that the mutant gene would ruin their name and aid in the dwindling of their wealth, the Tanners avidly agreed to send him to this odd sort of boarding school.
It was here that Blake got his first real taste of the city life. Always one to adapt, Blake excelled in his classes, and worked one on one with a few professors to help get a grasp at how his mutation manifested. Not much time had passed when he was noticed for his work ethic and steep learning curve, and he was quickly promoted to Bobby Drake's team, the Excelsiors, wherein he was again promoted – this time as the leader of the group to replace Jullian Keller, who had earned his alias Hellion honestly. Highly competitive and very good at tactics, Blake's leadership helped greatly in turning the team around. And it wasn't long until the Excelsiors became Bobby's pride and joy, and gave Blake a dependable mentor, but more importantly a close friend from the teams.
Later, Blake was offered several positions as he outgrew the Excelsiors, being that the professors felt that the team had nothing left to offer him. It was for him to decide between transferring teams to the Hellions or helping those who were just coming to terms with their mutation. Ever one to lead, Blake took the later option, mirroring what Jean had done when she was younger – serving as the poster child for the Academy, to help charm parents into allowing their children to attend Xavier's Institute. The position was far more than he could have imagined, and through it, the cowboy got to view the world, going where Cerebro beckoned them to, utilizing his southern wiles to snag Xavier more students.
During times when he was on leave, Blake made trips home to tend to what would soon be his ranch, still having little interest in the black gold business that funded the rest of his lifestyle. The past two years had seen limited amount of time on campus, but Blake dedicated what he could to the students he'd helped wrangle in, aiding in their initial adjustments, and shadowing them the first few days they were at the school, so that they wouldn't feel like a small fish in a large sea. The work was rewarding, and he loved nearly every minute of it. (Minus the part where he had to deal with a lot of Brotherhood members doing the same thing.)
Because his schedule was all over the place, a lot of his friendships remained in touch via letters and emails – including one friend he'd made on a rival team (Paragons) years ago, Bella Stone. He wrote to her when he had the time, getting the mundane details as well as the ones that discussed what her team had gone through while he'd been visiting Paris, Cozumel, etc. Often, he'd tease her about the fact that he'd chosen more wisely than herself, but envied the long lasting relationships she was able to maintain close to her. From working with her best friend Evie, to actually maintaining some semblance of a love life... Blake hadn't much of a chance to do that with his more solitaire lifestyle. His friends had to have skype accounts, not just a door down the hall.
With recruitment slowing down, and a rising need of experienced student teams with all anti-mutant propaganda, Scott and Emma once again approached the young man, requesting him to take a break from his cush job with the X-men and aid in helping the students at home, with one stipulation that made him agree after a long period of consideration – that he could help mentor those students he'd brought in and the younger generation of X-men. It was feasible, so long as he wasn't running the team himself. An extra push from Bobby caused Blake to return to the campus, and landed him in Emma's office, where she and Scott discussed who would get the man on their team.

xxxxxxxxxxxxD e f i n i t i o n → Leptokinesis, also called Nanokinesis or Atomic/Molecular/Matter Manipulation is the ability to mentally manipulate molecules and to manipulate objects/subjects on a molecular level. In using this, Blake has molecular adhesion, the strongest attribute of his mutation, but can also separate his own molecules to become intangible and phase through subjects.
xxxxxxxxxxxxS t r e n g t h s → We'll start with adhesion first as it's his strongest attribute. Blake is able to render himself “sticky,” or other objects sticky, by fusing molecules together. This acts as a “glue,” and how long it lasts depends entirely on concentration, and mastery of power. Right now, his current record for fusing organic matter together is a few hours. Inorganics last longer – his mother has paintings on the wall at home that are “stuck” until he chooses to remove them.
This ability also allows him to crawl on walls, run up them, etc.,
With automolecular manipulation, Blake can change himself to be able to pass through objects, or become a cloud of molecules. (Defensive)
xxxxxxxxxxxxW e a k n e s s e s → While he is able to pass through objects, he cannot take anyone with him, and what ever he passes through does not remain intact, as he's not learned to re-form them once he disturbs the chemical bonds. Occasionally his mutation mimics that dispersive adhesion, where he unconsciously “sticks” things together. If he isn't mentally doing it, it's normally painful to pull the to subjects apart. Like all mutants, over exertion will take a toll on how well he is able to control his power, and the overall effect that his efforts will have.

Build: Athletic Race/Nationality: African American Noteable Characteristics: Is mostly seen wearing heels with a necklace of a fang. She also has a tendency to wear loop earrings. Uniform: Standard Dress:
Place of Birth: Atlanta, Georgia Family: Abandoned and rather forget them. ( Not really. Brainwashed and told otherwise ) Naomi Cole- Mother ( Human ) Brad Cole- Brother ( Mutant, Absorption of damage ) Father- Unknown Calvin Tabbott- ( False father ) Kevin Tabbott- ( Adopted Brother, Zeus, Manipulation and absorption of Electricity ) Trevor Tabbott- ( Adopted Brother, Ares, Psychokinesis ( Was able to form weapons of sorts from mostly anything, his bones included, but not from other organic materials ) Kelly Tabbott- ( Adopted Sister, Athena, Telopath and Telekinetic ) Marvin Tabbott- ( Adopted Brother, Hades, Manipulation and absorption of Fire, Magma, and Lava. )
Superhuman Ability: Cat-Like Mutation. Artemis has heightened senses and capabilites like a cat or animal, causing normal human capabilities to be amplified, such as speed, sight and hearing for a few examples, giving her the codename of the Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis Abilities (not gained from mutation): Dancing and singing.
Non-mutant power skills:
Guns ( Beginner ) Martial Arts ( Intermediate )- Aikido and Bone Martial Arts Bow and Arrow ( Beginner ) Small Weapons ( Beginner ) Parkour ( Intermediate )
Personal Strengths: Manipulating people, taking orders, hunting people down. The exact meaning of a Femme Fatale. Personal Weaknesses: Not much of a social life and may end up scarring people for life if they aren't careful and doesn't know how to take a joke as either funny or serious. Although some of her abilities can't be shut down such as her reflexes, other abilities like heightened eyesight, hearing, and extending her nails have a thirty minute interval wait. When Michelle has activated her abilities, her hearing is increased. Because of this, normal sounds or sounds that can't be heard such as a dog whistle can hurt her hears. Her primal state can also lead her to attack other people if she is not careful. Personality: Michelle has this usual psychotic vibe that will tell people to back off. Unless commanded to calm down and relax, you will see her taking things in a serious and more professional manner. If not, then be prepared to see her acting all playfully with all the joy and happiness.....and rage. Just make sure the people she toys with don't get mad or scared. She will play with them physically and mentally like a cat does with its toy. Hobbies: Cleaning guns, hunting down small prey, darts, sharpening swords. Has the ability to sing but if caught, you aren't getting away alive....literally. Looking pretty just for that right moment when the person least expects it, it's too late for them.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Michelle rather see the Mutants prevails. Gives her a reason to kill along the way ( more preferably Calvin Tabbott if he is still breathing ).
History: Michelle was taken away from her mother trained at an early age for one of Sergeant Calvin Tabbott's programs meant to kill Magneto or any other Mutant terrorist. From this program, her and several others were named after the Greek Gods and Goddesses for the unique similarities that they all possessed to those as well as the fact that he was a Greek fanatic, which would explain why most of them shared his last name even though they bore no kind of biological relationship to him whatsoever. From this, he trained them under their abilities. Since her codename was Artemis, she was mostly trained in the basics of someone who would hunt, learning how to wield small weapons, guns, learning how to fight and roam around places especially the urban jungle most called New York. Of course, they all had free wills at some point in their life, but as Tabbott felt most mutants should be, he controlled them. Michelle like all the others was some lifeless doll of an assassin in training as they unwillingly followed his orders.
Because they were still inexperienced and he could only get so far with mind control these days, he decided to terminate the program earlier deeming it useless and no longer worth his time. With that, he controlled them to just stay still while a firing squad got in place all while giving them their freedom back with their minds. They would be there to watch themselves die and not be able to do anything else. When they were on the verge of shooting, the base was attacked by some unknown rescue squadron of mutants. They were carried out of the base since they couldn't move their own bodies of their own free will. From there, they were taken to Scotland where scientists worked to remove the devices lodged in their brains. Now that they were free from control, they were given an option to stay, but she had other things in mind.
Michelle from then on vowed revenge. She left her adopted brothers and sister in the hands of someone she could trust and the person over the squadron of mutants in Scotland.. Her biological mother, who took mutants in a while back working with Moira McTaggert. Naomi, glad to know that her daughter was still safe after all those years, wasn't able to stop her for her Vendetta against that man known as Tabbott. With that, Michelle left for the United States once more. Her goal from there was to get rid of the people responsible in the program. From there, she would hopefully find the man responsible and kill him.
Michelle, having tracked him down, finally came knocking on the door for Tabbott in Nevada. She was sent out injured from the fight with one of the mutants known as a Titan. It was from there, she was found by Emma and eventually taken to the school. Michelle awoke, ready to leave once more, but was rather ordered to stay by her mother, a flaw of hers thanks to the brainwashing and the fact she respected her elders. Even though she is going to stay, she is still out to kill anyone responsible for what was done.
Age: Sixteen years Birthday:February 2nd Hair: Brunette Eyes:Light Green Skin Tone: Fair Height: 5'6" Weight:114 lbs Build: Willowy, slim, toned Race/Nationality:American/French/German/Irish Noteable Characteristics:She has long bangs which are usually in her face. Her eyes are a bright, light green, at times reflecting the color of the weather. It's been known to turn gray and a light hazel. Uniform:Black with Blue Accents Standard Dress:When not in uniform, Vee dresses casually and comfortably. She usually wears a white cami, capris, and sneakers, with a cardigan to complete the look.
Place of Birth:Avignon, France Family:Alberich McMurphy [father] - Deceased Eva McMurphy [mother] - Deceased; Mutant Camille LeFleurs [grandmother] - Alive
Superhuman Ability:Cyrokinesis - the ability to create and control ice. Vee's powers are exactly as it says. She can control ice. When there is water present (present, not like in faucets), she can turn it into ice and manipulate it. However, because her powers have not yet matured, when she creates ice, she gets the water straight from her body. It dehydrates her quickly, so she uses her powers carefully. Abilities (not gained from mutation):Tai Kwon Do - used for offense and defense. Musicality - plays the flute and the piano. Quite skilled.
Non-mutant power skills: Parkour (intermediate)
Power Levels: Physical Strength (1-10):3 Speed (1-10): 5 Durability (1-10): 4 Intelligence (1-10): 5 Energy (1-10): 5 Agility (1-10):5 Power Mastery (1-20):7
Personal Strengths: Determined and calculating. Has the ability to see the objective from start to finish. Personal Weaknesses: Prideful, easy to take offense. Conspiracy buff. Personality: Vee speaks when she wants to. She only wants to speak when it is necessary. She has a sardonic, sarcastic, and dry sort of humor. She tends to slink around and look very suspicious. Somewhat of a wallflower. She doesn't think much about other people's feelings, because she doesn't really care all that much. But she knows how far to take things when taunting. Hobbies:Vee loves music. She really does. Most of the things she does in her spare time - when she's not slinking around in the Academy and spying on other students - is to play music, both on her flute and the Academy's piano.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Vee hates the government and the Brotherhood of evil, after what happened to her parents. Her ulterior motive while on missions is to get revenge.
History:Aghaveagh, or Vee, as she likes to be called, didn't have much of a father while growing up. He ran away from the family shortly after she was born, leaving her mother to care for Vee all by herself. Her grandmother would come over often to babysit and help take care of Vee. A few years later, Vee's mother received a letter saying that her father had died and left the fortune he'd made while he was gone to Vee. Her mother used some of it to be a better house, upgrading from an apartment to a two-story house.
Vee's mother, Eva, was a stern woman. She was a mutant herself; a hydrokinetic. She was never much of a team player; she did her work alone. She kept the peace in her own city, which unfortunately brought attention to her and her family. Outside of her life, she was a secretary for a well-known company.
Eva trained Vee from an early age. They had a decently-sized backyard, and that became their training space. There, Eva taught Vee in the art of Tai Kwon Do. It was also there that she trained Vee to control her powers. She would create water and have Vee freeze it, then manipulate and mold it into another shape. Eva was a hard taskmaster. Vee went under grueling training under her, but she never resented it. Her mother was also caring, and Vee loved her dearly.
But then, the government interrupted their somewhat peaceful life. After receiving many reports about a rogue crimefighter, they did some research on Eva McMurphy. They didn't like what she was doing. Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil did. One fated day, both the Brotherhood and the government stopped by Vee's house. Magneto came first, offering Eva his hand of partnership. Eva refused. Then, the government arrived. They and Magneto and his Brotherhood got into a scuffle, which became an all-out fight. Eva was killed in the crossfire. Vee witnessed it all from a crack in the closet, where Eva had hid her in.
After the government and Magneto cleared out, Professor Xavier arrived. He found Vee and took her in. He brought her to the Academy, and there she lived ever since.

xxxxxxxxxxxxIn his first life he was the offspring of a passionate night between a male Shield agent and a female shapeshifting Hydra agent sent to kill him. After the night was over his mother did finish her assignment and kill the other agent. When she found out that she was pregnant she hid the pregnancy through her shapeshifting until Thomas was born and then discarded him at an orphanage. Growing up in the orphanage he was adopted at a young age by a young couple that couldn't have children of their own. Growing up a normal life for a child living in the suburbs Thomas was happy for a time. While in middle school he was walking down the sidewalk when a car swerved and hit him. He was taken to the hospital only to shock the doctors when he healed from his wounds within days. Being released his adopted parents were both amazed and afraid. By the time he entered into high school his adopted parents began to worry what others might think of their child when they were first approached by a man calling himself Charles Xavier.
After a little bit of convincing Thomas went with him and after a some training became a member of his x-men. After a couple years of living around them and seeing his adopted parents on occasion the x-men were attacked at their home. Thomas was a casualty of the battle and after being mourned and prepared to be buried something odd happened. Bursting into ashes his body was replaced by the body of a baby. His adopted parents were informed however they didn't want to raise him all over again saying they were still mourning him.
While he knows little to nothing of his previous life he has had a few brief visits from his adopted parents in the years since his rebirth. Therefore the only home he has ever known was the institute being raised by the people who were his close friends and peers before. Because he was raised at the academy he knows little of what it is like in the real world having never been persecuted for who he was or what he could do. He has attended classes at the academy since he could walk. Despite being at the academy since he was reborn and having been a mutant in his past life his powers didn't reappear again until he turned 11. Because of growing up in the institute he has a good education and has graduated from High school already and is taking college level courses.
When old enough he took a position on the Shadowwalkers at the request of Psylocke for reasons he doesn't entirely understand. Working with the team closely he was eventually offered leadership, but turned it down in favor of following instead. His reasoning being he was never much of a leader. Not to mention he figured he would mess something up if he were to lead. Through the years he has met most students that have been on a team and enjoyed a friendly rivalry with some. He has lots of friends including some of the teachers considering past history that he still doesn't know completely. His time with the x-men has been mainly pretty unremarkable with the occasional mission he has endured. Most of his active duty spent with the x-men has been letting his blood be used to heal people who returned from missions wounded. The infirmary has several vials of his blood for emergency use for if he isn't present on the base.
He has made multiple attempts to find out information on his past life through various means and still knows very little. Frequently being told they could use him on one of the junior x-men teams the Alphas or the Omegas he continually declined. Feeling that he was not cut out for those types of missions. However after the mall incident he had a change of heart and decided to join. His help healing those who were wounded helping along that decision. If he had been present after all he might have been able to stop some of the more serious wounds from becoming life threatening. He could be frequently seen during the incident in the infirmary having his blood drawn to heal the wounded. He also was briefly affiliated with the Corsairs before accepting the invitation to join the Alphas. He was probably with them for a good three months before joining the Alphas having switched at request.

xxxxxxxxxxxxBeing born into a family that consists of one of the biggest casino owners in Vegas and owns one of the most renown modeling agencies in the world kind of sets one up for having parents with high standards. That was exactly what Aspen was born into in Las Vegas Nevada. Naturally, though, her parents were busy running their businesses and companies so a young Aspen ended up being dragged to one or the other a lot of the time since her parents were eager to take care of their child as opposed to leaving Aspen home all alone with a nanny as a baby.
Naturally, though, as she got older she became a bigger and bigger handful for her parents, learning to crawl, open things, etc. So once she turned three they hired a nanny named Priscilla to both care for Aspen as well as home school her and teach her all the subjects she was required to know in order to make it to college one day.
Priscilla was a diligent nanny in that she was extremely protective of Aspen and treated her as if she were her own child and taught her valuable life skills amongst just teaching her the standard curriculum set by schools. She didn’t just keep Aspen locked up in the house from the outside world, but rather made a habit of taking her on regular excursions in order to offer her a proper glimpse of the real world they were both a part of.
Unfortunately one day while venturing out, Priscilla and a ten year old Aspen ran into a strange woman that ended up being one of Priscilla’s exes and he ended up cornering Aspen and Priscilla in an alleyway they typically took as a short cut. As intimidation tactics on Priscilla’s exs’ part ensued, Aspen could only stand there and hope for the best of what seemed to be a really grim situation.
The woman drew a lead pipe and all too quickly she made a move to swing at Priscilla with it. Seeing that things were going downhill fast, Aspen chose to intervene and just as Priscilla would have been hit by the assaulter’s pipe, Aspen took her place and took a hit from the pipe. The strange part, though, was that it was far less painful than Aspen had anticipated, in fact the scream from Priscilla that followed made her wince more than being struck by a pipe had. A scream of pure terror, it was unlike anything she’d ever heard before and that wasn’t a good thing.
One good thing, though, was that she’d somehow managed to survive being bludgeoned with a lead pipe without any severe pain at all. However, Aspen could clearly see the woman preparing to swing again so before she had the chance to she went to shove her in the hopes of throwing her off balance. She achieved her goal, in fact, when she went to shove her she staggered backwards as if she’d been struck by something though all Aspen had done was shove her. In reality it had been her power accidentally activated but she had yet to figure that out.
Priscilla, having witnessed the entire demonstration of Aspen’s newly found power, was baffled as to how she’d managed to fight off their attacker. And at the time Aspen possessed no answers for her and instead they began to evacuate the scene with full haste.
After they returned home from the incident, a diligent and dutiful Priscilla reported to Mr. and Mrs. Romanov exactly what had happened during hers and Aspen’s outing. As a result, both of Aspen’s parents were appalled such an event had taken place in the first place and immediately fired Priscilla on the spot without question.
Needless to say both Aspen and Priscilla mourned the outcome and said their goodbyes in tears.
After the incident, Aspen’s parents decided that she would be better off going to the public school system where she could be monitored by teachers and be properly socialized amongst school peers. Aspen didn’t have a whole lot of difficulty adapting, she made friends easily enough if she desired to. She possessed a natural charisma. Naturally incidents with peers arose and that was when her parents were forced to change their minds on sending her to school. While Aspen had come out of them virtually unharmed the children she'd fought with hadn't been so lucky ... Later she would find out again this was attributed to her having a mutation.
Upon hearing Priscilla’s testimony to Aspen’s abilities via his brother, though, her uncle Rupert ended up utilizing her as a tool when it served his purposes. He had her trained to fight and kill others, desensitizing her to violence at a tender ten years of age. Not only that but he blackmailed the child into keeping quiet by telling a young Aspen if she didn’t do as he said he would tell her parents what a monster she truly was.
The years went by until Aspen graduated from middle school via being home schooled due to her violent tendencies when an event ensued that would completely alter her lifestyle and eventually introduce her to the academy:
Casinos were the kind of business one ran within the family; at least that’s how Nicholas Romanov (Aspen’s father) ran his business. All the higher end business, therefore, was solely dealt with by his family members. And eventually Aspen was to enter the family’s enterprise as well or at least that was the plan until certain members of the family fell ill with the sinister virus known as greed.
One day, Aspen’s uncle Rupert decided that he wanted a bigger cut of Nicholas’ business and fortune so he made a secret plot to kill both potential inheritors of Nicholas’ fortune. In order to do this, Rupert called a secret board meeting solely between him and Nicholas while also requesting the presence of Aspen. Rupert had the two sit at the head of his desk while he sat behind, revolver stowed in his drawer until he chose the opportune moment to utilize it to end the life of his brother and his niece to inherit their fortune.
First he tried reasoning pleasantly; knowing Nicholas would be far too stubborn to give up as much of his cut as Rupert wanted so he was quick to switch gears. He then began demanding how he’d worked so hard for so little and how he deserved more, especially since he’d been there through thick and thin, yadda yadda. Both Aspen and her father simply sat there, Nicholas unwavering in his response that ultimately denied Rupert of his objective.
It was then that Aspen noticed her uncle reaching into his drawer, a place she knew he kept his revolver as she’d accidentally stumbled upon it once as a child. She immediately rose from her seat and jumped over the desk in attempts to stop him. Rupert was quicker, though and shot a fifteen year old Aspen point blank. Instead of dropping to the floor as all three of them had expected, though, Aspen, while harmed, hadn’t seemed nearly as phased by the bullet as she should have. However, she did feel a huge build up inside of her, a familiar build up she’d come to recognize over the years that signified she was unleash a hit equivalent to that she’d taken.
What ended up differing in this special scenario, though, was that Aspen had absorbed too much energy and wasn’t able to control it. It was forcing her to unleash it and she was forced to make a split second decision whether she risked turning away from her uncle who’d tried to kill her in the event that it severely hurt him or use it against her uncle to protect both herself and her father. In that moment, the desensitized killer Rupert had made Aspen into chose to save herself and her father at the cost of her uncle’s life.
Aspen ended up hospitalized after the event, her mother being the one forced to bring her there as her father had instantly disowned her upon her forcing him to witness the murder of his brother despite the fact it had saved his life. While in the hospital, her mother explained how he perceived her as a monster and that she wasn’t able to bring Aspen home with her so once recovered, Aspen left the hospital completely homeless.
Aspen’s mother at least cared enough to administer a small amount of cash to her each month and paid for her schooling but it wasn’t anywhere near enough for her to afford necessities such as rent, thus forcing Aspen to come up with some creative solutions. These creative solutions involved illegal underground cage matches and fights amongst what seemed like an entirely different society from the one she’d grown up in. It was here she acquired her various fighting skills, endurance, strength and brutality.
She spent a couple years living like this until members from Xavier’s Institute managed to find her via their discovery of the underground phenomena and flew her to New York where Aspen studied not only how to control her abilities but took up journalism as well. For money on the side, she still resorts to any sort of fighting tournament she can find along with working at a local club under an alter ego.
xxxxxxx▃▃✖▐P e r s o n a l i t y ↓ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
xxxxxxxxxxxxD i s p o s i t i o n → Despite being considered young, Aspen is often attributed with being mature for her age and very responsible when on the field or in the public eye. Generally she’s a very level-headed individual who’s easy to get along with and seeks to treat everyone as equals. That being said she has a very large appetite for adventure which she curbs by living on the wild side when no one else is watching. She’s extremely open (past aside), so much so that she can easily come off as unorthodox to certain people given the situation. She also possesses a darker side to her due to her past but she chooses to avoid the topic.

She is also a huge Adrenaline Junkie.
xxxxxxx▃▃✖▐M u t a t i o n: Kinetic Absorption ↓ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
xxxxxxxxxxxxD e f i n i t i o n → Aspen’s ability allows her to absorb kinetic energy, meaning when she is attacked physically via kinetic energy she is able to absorb the momentum and strength put into the attack and redistribute it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxS t r e n g t h s → Aspen is able to absorb physical energy, meaning she is impervious to many forms of physical attacks and can absorb momentum. Once she’s absorbed the energy she is able to redistribute it in a few different ways: 1) She can use it to make herself physically stronger [ex. Being punched and sending the same punch she absorbed right back at someone.] 2) Can be used for a brief, temporary boost in speed
xxxxxxxxxxxxW e a k n e s s e s → She needs to be expecting a hit in order to take it, in other words she has to ‘brace for the hit’ or else she will take the full hit and not absorb any of the energy. Aspen’s ability to absorb energy is solely limited to kinetic energy so she cannot absorb other types of energy. If the source of energy is too much for her to handle or absorb she can severely injure herself, likewise if she manages to absorb too much energy it can be detrimental to her as well, resulting in seizures. Lastly, she has to choose between utilizing her energy for either physical strength or speed boosting. She cannot use both at once.

Name: Gabriel Byrne Codename: Siege
Academy X Student Team:
Age: 18 Birthday: Unknown (Thought to be in January) Hair: Blonde Eyes: Silver Skin Tone: White Height: 5’ 11” Weight: 190 lbs Build: Lean Race/Nationality: American
Notable Characteristics: Has silver eyes, has a tattoo along his neck of a barcode.
Uniform: Black Shirt and Pants with Dragonskin body armor, over which is a tactical vest that he keeps his ammunition and weapons. Weapons: Customized M1911 .45 Pistol HK416 Assault Rifle M4 Benelli Super 90 with bayonet attachment
Standard Dress: Whatever he damn well feels like.
Place of Birth: Unknown (Raised in Las Vegas, Nevada) Family: William Byrne (Adoptive Father) 51 Danielle Byrne (Adoptive Mother) 49 Katherine Byrne (Adoptive Sister) 24 -Deceased James Byrne (Adoptive Brother) 20 Royce Byrne (Adoptive Brother) 21 -Deceased
Superhuman Ability: Gabriel is to put it in simple terms: a living, breathing weapons platform. He has the ability to undergo biomechanical shifts with his body, usually using his arms, in order fire bolts of metal thought to be a form of tungsten carbide. The metal bolts are the result of a still unidentifiable biochemical process within his body that is located within his torso, possibly his stomach. As a result, he has a much more powerful metabolism that requires more food in order for him to function normally even with full reserves for his shots. The shifts themselves are for the most part uncomfortable for Gabriel, but not painful. He currently has only the ability to fire a few bolts, usually five to six bolts can cause him to collapse from sheer exhaustion.
To meet the demand of energy required to fire these shots, his diet consists of an extremely high calorie intake, which results in him eating roughly 5-6 full meals per day. Also, he supplements his diet high dosages of energy boosting vitamins like B12 and B6 as well as high metals like iron to support the material he produces with his ability. This has lead to the near constant use of energy drinks, in particular Monster. When not using his ability, he is slightly more energetic, and usually requires less sleep than a normal human due to the build up of excess energy. Usually around 4-5 hours will roughly put him at the same level of activity for someone that sleeps for 7-8 hours. When he uses his powers, he may fall into a deep sleep that can last anywhere potentially between 12-15 hours. However following that period of rest and a bit of food, he can usually get back into stride with his normal daily routine.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): He is an apprentice gunsmith specializing in customized design, modification, and building. As a result he is a skilled machinist, able to machine parts with notable precision and accuracy. He also has notable knowledge in ballistics, as he must know how a weapon should fire before and after modifications. However, unlike his father he has almost no business skills, he simply helps in the design and manufacturing of weapons for his father’s clients.
Non-Mutant Power Skills: Firearms: Intermediate (Result of growing up around, firing, and even working on various firearms has resulted in him being very skilled with a firearm) Chemistry: Beginner (Working with weapons over the years has lead him to develop a broad knowledge regarding chemistry, with a specified focus in gunpowder. Other forms of chemistry are not as much of a focus for him, leading him to not be as well skilled.) Computers: Intermediate (The result of the ever evolving processes by which weapons are designed, he took up the skills in order help the business. He also uses this for developing remote weapons systems: a task he has only done once successfully, and is continuing to work on and perfect) Martial Arts (Muay Thai): Beginner (Result of sparring with his much more experienced older brother James)
Number of Points: 35 35/35
Power Levels Strength: 3 Speed: 5 Durability: 4 Intelligence: 5 Energy: 5 Agility: 3 Power Mastery: 7
Personal Strengths: Gabriel is a bit of trickster, usually one to rely on his wits and intelligence rather than his physical abilities or powers. He’ll also rely on the use of gadgets to complete a task. He’ll also let his shooting do the talking if he has to.
Personal Weaknesses: He’s far more comfortable in a workshop rather than at a formal occasion, though he tries his best to be social. He’s also a bit of technophile, habitually looking at his computer or PDA more than the person talking to him. This has lead to some awkward dates for him, if not for his brother snapping him out of it.
Personality: Hard-working to the point of possibility of being a workaholic, he strives to better the family business out of loyalty to his father. He’s one to take on a task and focus on it to near borderline obsession until it is done.
Hobbies: Target practice, reading about guns, talking to his dad back home. Mutant/Human Relations View: Some people have more obvious advantages than others, big friggin’ whoop.
History Gabriel was put into the system as a baby, quickly being adopted by the Byrne family and brought to Sin City, Las Vegas. From there, he was raised along with his three siblings James, Royce, and Katherine, living in a loving environment in this happy family of six. From a young age, Gabriel had been fascinated by his father’s business: he owned a gun shop that worked on building, repairing, and customizing various firearms, even inventing a few innovative and custom weapons for different clientele. Out of all of his siblings, Gabriel could make the claim that he was the best shot, though they never might actually admit it. As each child reached an age that they could start officially working with their father, each one of his own siblings proved to have a specific skill that proved to be invaluable for the family business. Katherine proved to be a skilled businesswoman, bringing in more as well as higher paying clients for the business. Royce was the natural mechanic of the group, providing near perfect parts. James proved to be quite the chemist, branching out into various fields, eventually learning to create his own paint for the shop without having to buy expensive paints.
Gabriel turned out to be a bit of jack of trades in the production of guns. He could machine a part just like Royce and measure out the chemicals for gunpowder just as well as James, but he never had the savvy to work with clients like Katherine. He seemed to be more comfortable in the shop getting covered in grease and gun oil than talking to someone at the counter all cleaned up. Despite this, he seemed to excel with the ever growing needs of computerization in the workplace. The need for digital testing of weapons as well as programming for custom weapons proved even more invaluable for the shop.
Things began to change for Gabriel one particular day when he was 15, and he was sparring with his brother James. Gabriel may have been the better shot, but James was always the much better fighter. During a heat of the moment shot of adrenaline, Gabriel unwittingly activated his mutant powers, letting out a blast of plasma that nearly took his brother’s head off. Immediately going to his father, he told him what had happened. Rather than rise up in anger, he hugged his son and told him that he accepted it. “You are my son.” he said to him, “No matter what, you are always my son.” Soon the two of them would go out to the range in the back to work on the use of his powers, helping him develop and refine his aim. This took some work admittedly, and even now he’s still not that accurate, but the process strengthened the bond between the father and son even more.
It was not until a year later that tragedy would strike yet again. Katherine and Royce had to make a delivery for a client that lived in New York City, right as Magneto began his attack. Among those that had died, their names were among those identified by the fallen. Broken by this, the whole family toiled in their grief over the loss of their family. Gabriel began to sink himself even further into his work, at times losing track of the amount of hours he’d been at the bench to wind up waking up on the floor. Finally one day his father came to him, and sat him down. He’d made some calls to a school in New York that could teach him to use his powers in a more controlled manner. It could also mean that he could get a good education, and start out college over there. Gabriel gladly accepted the idea, and even suggested that he try and start a business over on the East Coast. However, his father had other plans.
“Son,” he said to him, “the man who killed our blood is still out there, and who knows when he’s going to come back out into the open. You are going to start up there in a few months, and he may show up at any time.” he took out from his pocket a bullet, “This is a plastic bullet, I made myself and it’s just a heavy as a normal one. It’s going to go into a rifle that you will bring with you. And if you ever encounter Magneto I ask you to do one thing for me.”
“I ask that you put this bullet into his head.”
Gabriel agreed, and took the bullet. He then set out and waited for the perfect moment to complete this task for his father.
