Welcome to Gaia! ::

UPDATED - 7-17-09

Name: Adelle Taylor – Adie to her friends
Codename: Shard

Team: Alpha

Age: 20
Birthday: December 13th, 1991
Hair: Light blonde with a few natural highlights. It falls in natural curls down to the middle of her back.
Eyes: Her eyes are a piercing blue, constasting sharply with the white-blonde of her hair.
Skin Tone: Adelle is soft pink skin, which is pale, but flawless. As she spends more time outside she does tan, but her skin is always a lighter tone, just like her hair.
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 127 lbs
Build: She is extremely flexible, and athletic, as she loves to be involved with sports. She is an Olympic level gymnast, and was scheduled to be a part of the Olympic team, though she was unable to attend due to an ankle injury.
Race/Nationality: Adelle is Caucasian, with some German ancestry.
Notable Characteristics: Her most notable characteristic is a tattoo on her lower hip, which is hardly ever visible. It is a small black ahnk, showing her fascination with ancient Egyptian history.
Uniform: Considerably more revealing than her previous uniform, it consists of two pieces. The darker blue fabric is a synthetic weave that is much stronger than it looks, though it appears to look like an oiled latex and breaths like cotton. Her midriff is completely exposed, and the waistline of the bottom piece forms a deep V, though still tasteful. She wears a pair of elbow-length gloves and a knee-high boots to complete the ensemble. The gloves are the same material as the rest of the outfit, but the boots are made of leather, and have a 2" heel on them. There are two metal arm bands that connect a very thin, glowing blue wire to her gloves, some piping along the legs of the suit also shining the same color. That is so the suit phases as she does, leaving her constantly clothed in the heat of battle.
(--X-- The silver / metal looking parts are painted black)
Standard Dress: She is known for being fashionable, yet confortable. She loves to wear things that show off her figure, while at the same time cover the things that need to be covered. It is rare for her to be seen in something other than heels or boots, but this does occasionally happen. Her favorite colors to wear are black, and red. She still hates anything the color pink.

Superhuman Ability: Adelle has the ability to “de-molecularize” herself, allowing her to “walk through” any solid object. Because of this, she also has developed very limited teleportation abilities, meaning that she can travel instantly from one place to another, though there are certainly limits. One, she has to be able to see where she is going the first time she teleports there. In addition to this, she can take up to three people with her at a time. A recent manifestation of her powers is that she can spread her molecules extremely thin, giving her a transparent appearance. In the dark, this can almost appear to be invisibility. In this state, however, she has a hard time gripping solid objects, and unlike her phasing, this does not trasmit to other people.
Abilities (not gained from mutation) : Being a dancer and a gymnast, she is extremely flexible, and quick. Recently, she has been working on being an offensive player, learning how to use knives and small weapons in combat. Paired with her quickness and flexibility, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Place of Birth: Boston, MA
Family:
Mother – Janice Taylor
Father – Michael Taylor

Personal Strengths: Adelle is capable of fitting into extremely tight places, making her ideal when it comes to reconnaissance. Furthermore, she is able to think on her feet, and while she might not always “follow the plan”, she is known for delivering. She is also good when it comes to motivating those around her, even if it might be in a different way than most. Furthermore, she is infintely more confident in herself and her abilities than she was as a student, and from that she has become more emotionally open. She had changed from the shy girl that would almost never start a conversation with someone to a girl that knows what she wants and how she wants to get it. This has lead her to become more of a leader, putting her always caring nature into more use in an attempt to help the younger students as she was helped when she came to the Academy. Her level of physicality is also a plus and she is, as mentioned before, an Olympic level gymnast.
Personal Weaknesses: At times, Adelle can now get so preoccupied with other people and trying to help them that she sometimes forgets to take care of herself. Furthermore, her genuine want to help can quickly turn into over-protection of those closest to her, as well as emotional distress when she is worried something might be wrong. She still feels a need for validation from other people, particularly Thomas and her closest friends. It is because of this that she had an intense fear of failure, and will thusly over work herself in an attempt to compensate for her shortcomings, even then they may not be there.
Personality: In the past year, Adie has blossomed from the shy girl that couldn't hardly stand to start a conversation with someone she didn't know, to a girl that flits from one social circle to the next. She always has time for her close friends, though at this point she considers herself on good terms with pretty much everyone. While she can sometimes be a "mother hen" to those she cares most about, she genuinely cares for those around her, and will do whatever it takes to keep them out of danger. She is still as easy to talk to as ever, and she still considers herself a good listener, which most people would agree with.

Hobbies: Adelle is very gifted when it comes to performance arts. She is very talented when it comes to dancing, and enjoys doing so in the privacy of her own room. It is the same with singing – particularly when it comes to jazz music. Furthermore, she is very talented when it comes to gymnastics, and was once offered a spot on the Olympic team, though due to an injury she was unable to compete. She loves to read, and sometimes even writes, though no one ever sees her own work. Currently, she is on a classical literature kick, and can't get enough old books!

View on Human/Mutant Relations: She really wants peace between the mutants and the humans, which stems from her want for acceptance. She wants, more than anything, to lead a “normal life”, and she feels that by bridging the gap between them, this is the first step towards achieving this, without subjecting herself as a mutant to the persecution of the humans. She understands that there is nothing wrong with her, but she wants others to see this as well.

History:
Adelle was born to Michael and Janice Taylor, in the suburbs of Boston. As a child, she grew up happily, her parents being active members of the political community. As a child she did gymnastics and won several honors and competitions. This, of course, made her parents extremely proud, but they also began to push her into that life more than a girl of 13 or 14 would really be interested in. While she had always been different from the other kids, she did not know that things were about to get a whole lot more complicated. As the hand of her parents began to tighten around what she could and could not do, since everything she did reflected back on her parents, Adelle did what any 15 year old girl would do. She rebelled.

Flirting with older men, sneaking out at night to hang out with the wrong crowd, getting involved in shop lifting and even smoking for a little while, she did everything she could think of that her parents forbade her from doing, just for the act of doing it. Of course, for fear of getting caught she tried to be as discrete as possible, and avoid all media attention. One particular night, her powers first manifested when a fight broke out at the party she was at. One of the brawlers pulled out a gun, though when someone tackled him to the floor, the gun fired, straight in Adelle's direction. The bullet hit the wall directly behind her, and as it turned out, she had phased directly through the bullet. She had never been shot at before, hell, she had never even been in a room with a gun, and because of that, she suddenly found herself very afraid.

Terrified, she ran home and tried to sleep, thinking that this was all just some weird dream or coincidence. However, as she was having a nightmare about the whole shooting incident, her emotions running wild, she phased straight through the bed and floor, landing on a coffee table in the living room. Her parents came out to find a very confused, scared Adelle and it was then that she told them everything that she had been doing. They decided to send her to therapy for a while, since she was 16, and rather than rejoin the lifestyle she had left behind, Adelle threw herself into her school and gymnastics, which she excelled in. She worked so hard that she was offered a spot on the U.S. Olympic team, which she was all too happy to accept. However, during a training session, her powers manifested themselves once more while she was working on a complicated balance beam routine. She phased straight through the beam as she attempted to land a backflip, her ankle smashing into the steel supports for the beam. And that was the end of her Olympian career for the time being.

However, as Adelle tried to explain what happened to her parents, there was only one explanation that they could come up with. Her Uncle was a mutant, and therefore it was entirely possible that the gene had been passed on to her. Consulting the family physician, who would keep all of this quiet, a DNA test confirmed that she did carry the Mutant X gene, and he recommended that she find a way to get more control over her powers, so they were not manifesting themselves at random, inopportune times. While her parent's researched where the best place to send her was, Adie practiced her powers in private, only really going out to go to school. She was starting to get the hang of it, though they did not always work when she wanted them to, but at least she was able to keep from phasing through things when she did not want to.

At the end of the semester, her parents announced that they were going to be sending her to Xavier's Academy, and that she really did not have a choice in the matter. Adie was none to happy with this decision, especially because it meant leaving behind all the friends and life that she had worked so hard to form here. However, she agreed to go along with it, grumbling the whole way. If she was going to have to go to a school for mutants, at least it was a nice one from what she had seen in the brochure.

Since arriving at the Academy, Adelle has taken to it like a fish takes to water. She has mane several new friends in Kryhin, Isabella and Carlos, and even has a small crush on someone, who shall remain nameless. Everything seems to be falling into place, including her powers. Control is still sporadic, but the missions she has been involved in have really helped her hone her abilities, and she has never felt better really. Looking forward to a semester of classes at her new school, Adelle started the new semester with not a care in the world. Things were progressing with Thomas, and the two finally had the chance to go out on a date, just the two of them, on which Thomas asked Adelle to "go steady" with him before he kissed her. It was one of the most romantic moments she ever experienced, but even that was cut short with the announcement that the Hellions were now attacking the school in an attempt to get Gideon.

The pair returned to the school, breaking apart to help different teams as the onslaught continued. Adie did her best to move the injured to the infirmary, but with all the chaos around her, it only made it that much more obvious that she needed to step up her training again. These chaotic situations seemed to be too much for her, and she found that she had a hard time getting complete control of where she was phasing / teleporting when she was in an extremely stressful situation. As it wound to a close, she found her confidence shaken in the school and the other teams, wandering who could find justification for attacking their friends and home? How can things go back to the way they were?

Name: Victor Deveraux
Codename: Diamont

Academy X Student Team: **Requesting Omega**

Age: 19
Birthday: February 14
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Crystal Blue
Skin Tone: Fair
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 155
Build: Toned
Race/Nationality: French

Noteable Characteristics: Striking blue eyes, slightly accent

Uniform: Victor's uniform resembles mostly that of a wetsuit, consisting of a sleeveless black top and skin tight pants with a blood red stripe running down the left side of the suit. He dons a black and red X utility belt and gloves with a pair of black and red boots. Occasionally he wears a pair of black shades with red lenses.

Standard Dress: Victor is never anything less than fashionable.

Place of Birth razz aris, France
Family: Father-Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Brother: Varian Deveraux - Telekinesis

Superhuman Ability:--Ability to become and create an organic diamond compound. (Just like Emma's Secondary Mutation)

This ability allows Victor to turn into a living, mobile diamond form, granting him substantial resistance to damage and superhuman strength. While mostly invulnerable to physical damage in diamond form, like a real diamond Victor can still sustain damage if struck correctly on his flaw (by breaking or shattering).

If shattered, he can control the majority of the fragments, and over time, reassemble himself—(Kind of like Dust, but slower.)

Resistance to the elements when in diamond form, enhanced stamina, and is self-contained, requiring no food, water, or oxygen to survive until returning to human form.

Weakness:

While he is in diamond form, he loses the ability feel emotion that drives a person. While human, he might love his brother—But while in diamond form, he will know that he loves him, but he wont really feel it. He acts as though he can—But its actually absent.

Shifting back and fourth is very draining to him. His shifting into a diamond form is at times uncontrolled, brought on by a need to defend—Either himself or someone else.

If knocked unconscious he reverts to human form.

Abilities (not gained from mutation):

Non-mutant power skills:
Martial Arts:Intermediate
Fencing: Intermediate

Power Levels:


Physical Strength (1-10):4 (7 in diamond form)
Speed (1-10):4
Durability (1-10):4 (7 in diamond form)
Intelligence (1-10):5
Energy (1-10):5
Agility (1-10):4
Power Mastery (1-20):7


Personal Strengths:Strong-willed, loyal, and powerful

Personal Weaknesses:Slightly cold, tends to be emotionless, and logical

Personality:stoic sort of slightly cold type. Victor's main problem was that he isn't very good at forming bonds with people but when he does their as unbreakable as diamond. He'll go to the ends of the earth for those he considers worthy and erase any sign of those he doesn't. He's a strong person because he has to be and doesn't want to ever lose sight of those he loves.

Hobbies:Shopping, Painting, Sculpting

Mutant/Human Relations View: Victor has a very elitist attitude when it comes to the human/mutant relationship. He believes that as homo superior mutants should have the power. He doesn't seek to cause disruptions with this view but when given that chance to assert his authority he does so.

History:Victor spent much of his childhood gallivanting around the world with his family. They were world class travelers, working in one Australia one day and the Brazil the next. Much of his childhood is obscured by memories of foreign family and friends. They finally settled in New York, taking jobs and immigrating fully into the country.

Victor settled into the life they were trying to build and abhorred every minute of it. He felt, out of place in the presence of such people and because of this fact he always found himself assuming control of all that happened in his town.

Life for him was great up until the day his powers activated. That day started as normal as any other. He rode in the back of the car with his brother as his parents sat in the front, arguing on their way home. He wanted more and grew tired of the way they slipped into a more complacent lifestyle. He never wanted such a thing but as the conversation hit a surging point the car swerved and ran into incoming traffic. At that moment his powers activated, shifting him into his diamond form. His life was saved but their parents didn't survive the crash. For weeks on end Victor would remain in diamond form, opting to not feel instead of feel the loss. He stuck close to his brother up until the moment he joined the students at the school. After about a year he's learned much more than he's ever knew and has grown to accept the deaths of his parents as signs of the frailty and weakness of humanity. He now steps into the new year, ready to see just how tough his meddle is.

Character Picture:

Nickname:: Sunny
Codename: : Ceres

Academy X Student Team: Omega

Age: 17
Birthday: February 14
Hair: Black, long and straight
Eyes: Colorless (no iris or pupil, she is blind in the general sense)
Skin Tone: Medium skin tone
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs
Build: Slender
Race/Nationality: American (Half Native-American)
Notable Characteristics: Her colorless eyes and the fact that she often doesn't wear shoes which has caused her feet to develop a tougher exterior to counter act rough ground.
Uniform: Black suit that has long sleeves and a high collar for protection. The feet of her uniform are designed to leave her toes and heels bare so she always maintains contact with the ground. She does have the option with the uniform to cover her feet if necessary. Around the top of her uniform, she wears what almost looks like a red over-shirt that is fastened tight around her torso but the sleeves flow over her arms. (Almost looks like Mai's top from Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Standard Dress: She can be rather plain in what she wears mostly because she can't see her clothing and has no care for how it looks. Sunny often wears long skirts or dresses because she likes the feel.

Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California
Family:
Father: River Whitehawk (Restaurant owner, water mutation)
Julia Schmidt Whitehawk (Mother, no mutation)

Superhuman Ability: Ceres is an earth manipulator. She is able to 'talk' to the earth around her to have it work with her will and also to allow her to 'see' what is around her. Her skill is still developing, but she is able to manipulate the ground around her to create changes in terrain within a twenty yard radius. (Such as creating rock formations or pushing roots and other substances up out of the ground, pushing the ground apart, etc.) She also can use the earth to create rock like weapons for use. 'Seeing' what is around her extends to this twenty yard radius where she is able to visualize objects (including people) attached to the ground.

Abilities (not gained from mutation): Her blindness gives her a heightened sense of hearing, smelling, touch and taste; however, this is not on the same level as mutated senses.

Non-mutant power skills:
Self-defense (beginner)
Small weapons (beginner)

Power Levels:

Physical Strength (1-10): 3
Speed (1-10): 3
Durability (1-10): 4
Intelligence (1-10): 4
Energy (1-10): 5
Agility (1-10): 4
Power Mastery (1-20): 7


Personal Strengths: Ceres appears to be weak because of her appearance but her ability leaves her able to pack a punch. Her visible lack of vision also makes her unassuming as a threat.
Personal Weaknesses: If she is not touching the ground, she is completely blind from the world.
Personality: She will always fight the good fight and is a bit of a "tree hugger." On the contrasting side, she can be a bit blunt when it comes to communicating. This is partially due to her inability to see expressions and partially due to personality traits she picked up from her mother.
Hobbies: Gardening, cooking

Mutant/Human Relations View: Sunny believes in harmony between people and the earth... and that includes humans and mutants getting along.

History:
(Need to write but the long and short is that she had a happy childhood and her family sent to her Xavier's to learn her power better. Nothing crazy, mostly normal.)

Mutant/Human Relations View: Hoshi believes that humans could be more understanding of mutants, but she doesn’t favor one group over the other. In turn, she doesn’t believe that humans start all the problems. As far as her morals go, she has a line she won’t cross- she won’t sacrifice the one for the good of the many.
History:
When Eathan, Hoshi’s father was 23, he decided to sail around the world. When he was near Japan, He and another boat nearly collided during a storm. In the other boat was Hoshi’s mother, Risa. For the next week during a series of storms, Eathan and Risa got to know each other and fell in love as they camped out in a cave. However, one day Eathan went to see if he could get some food and a storm came up. Risa thought he died, because he’d disappeared. When she discovered she was pregnant, she was not sure how to react, but fell in love with Hoshi once she was born.
Hoshi was nearly seven years old before Eathan, who’d gotten turned around and lost in that storm, found them. He and Risa married within the month, and Risa had Sorsha and Morgan eight months later. Hoshi had begun displaying her mutation when she was five, and the twins showed theirs at three, at least the Telepathy. When the twins were five, and Hoshi twelve, they moved to the States for her mother’s work- she is a computer repair specialist. When Hoshi was thirteen, her mother’s parents died, and her dads parents moved in with them because Her Grandfather, Michael, had a heart attack and needed more help then his wife could provide. Because they have so many mutants in the family, Hoshi’s family raised her to be tolerant of people with differences. However, Hoshi has a problem with stupid people- two weeks before her sixteenth birthday she caught a guy she knew from school tormenting her sister Sorsha and lost her temper. She turned into a forty foot dragon and spit her first energy orb at him- she missed him, but only barley. She spent the next eight months really recovering from the incident. Hoshi’s parents kept her home, saying she had Mono, knowing that she couldn’t go back to school. In June, They got a letter from the School saying Hoshi qualified to be entered as a student because of her grades. Rogue and Remy came and gave the ‘this is for the best and we’ll help her’ speech. Hoshi has been at the School since July.

Character Picture: coming soon, I swear

Name: Cedric Miles Erikson II
Codename: Polymorph

Academy X Student Team: Alpha

Age: 17
Birthday: August 24th, 1992
Hair: red
Eyes: deep green
Skin Tone: pale
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 118lbs
Build: Slim
Race/Nationality: British
Noteable Characteristics: Cedric has four piercings in his right ear, and five in his left, he also has a snake bite piercings in his bottom lip, and similar piercings in his top lip, but without rings. He actually tends to put sterilized wiring through the holes, and sews his mouth to a point where he can still open his mouth enough to talk, but there is an 'X' design in the sewing.
Uniform: (?)
Standard Dress: Cedric normally wears gothic clothing, tending to wear wrist coverings, blacks and reds, baggy pants, and baggy shirts. It isn't rare for him to wear gothic make-up, either. He also has a staple leather trench coat that he is never seen without.

Place of Birth: London, England
Family: Cedric Miles Erikson I (Human, philanthropist aristocrat, deceased)
Mary Deanne Erikson (Human, deceased)

Superhuman Ability: Cedric's mutation is skeletal, epidermal, and muscular manipulation and alteration. He can manipulate, stimulate, and alter anything relating to his own physical being. His appearance, his muscle mass, his height, weight, eye color, hair color, etc. He cannot impersonate people at his level, but he can camouflage himself by altering his facial features, and adjusting his body structure just a tad.

This also includes the ability to grow bone spurs, and increase his skeletal durability, by stimulating his marrow he can grow resilient skeletal 'armor.' He can also force his bones to jut from his joints, or from his hands, and create skeletal blades, but he can't remove them from his body. With more training such a feat might be possible, but not yet.

Along with this ability comes a collateral regenerative ability. Because he can stimulate, and manipulate his own body in many different ways, he can consciously speed up the healing of wounds by willing the affected muscles, skin, and bones to mend themselves.

Abilities (not gained from mutation): Cedric is a talented singer, and is often heard singing to himself when he thinks he's alone. He often writes poetry, and music lyrics.

Non-mutant power skills:

28/30 pts

Personal Strengths: Cedric is a contradiction. Or he seems to be. Though he dresses in a dark manner, his mood is usually very chipper and cheery. He's always up for a good laugh.
Personal Weaknesses: The sad truth is, his cheery disposition is a mask. He rarely shows his true feelings, and wears baggy shirts and arm coverings to hide his depression. He's a cutter, and hides it from everyone.
Personality: Cedric tries to keep to himself, most often, but when forced into a social situation, he makes sure to put up a facade and ingratiate himself into the group he's with.
Hobbies: Cedric writes poetry, and plays video games when he has the chance to.
Non-Mutant Skills:
Bow/Arrow: Beginner

Mutant/Human Relations View: Cedric's view on the situation is that he'd rather just be left alone. He wants humans to stop the prejudice, and let there be peace. Mostly he just wants the hate to end.

History: Cedric was born into an old money family. The Erikson's had a hefty estate, and many servants, and everything a boy could want, Cedric had. Except for someone to play with. As a child, Cedric was ignored a lot by his parents, who had several things to do, all the time. Appearing at banquets, keeping up appearances, estate upkeep, business meetings, etc. Cedric's only caring for was done by a nanny.

So, the neglection of his parents drove him into a depressive state, only to be worried on by his nanny, who pestered him to no end to stay chipper, and offered nothing more than consolation of his parent's return at some hour, which turned into a lie.

As Cedric was an only child, he never had any siblings to play with either. As he lived on an estate, he had no young neighborhood children to play with. It was just himself, his nanny, and his family's servants. This did nothing to save the boy from stress, and depression. He tried to find ways to entertain himself throughout the house, but only ended up with punishment being levied upon him at the end of a ruler.

At the age of seven, he was sent off to boarding school, and his nanny transferred to other duties within the estate. This was both fortunate, and unfortunate. Already being a depressed young man, he tried desperately to fit in with the other children, but only found rejection and forced isolation. He did well in school, though, despite his emotional state.

At the age of nine, Erikson estate suffered a massive explosion. One of the maids had foolishly left the oven on, and Cedric I was a pipe smoker. He'd taken his pipe into the kitchen, to grab his usual afternoon sandwich, and in the process of making his sandwich, he'd attempted to light his pipe up. The result was a horrible explosion that claimed both Cedric's mother and father, and a few of the house workers.

Cedric was now an orphan, albeit the sole beneficiary of a fortune. An orphan none the less. His father's lawyers took care of the insurance and will business, and set his fortune into trust funds, and a good amount of money was paid to the boarding school, enrolling him for many years to come.

Needless to say, this event brought Cedric lower than he'd been before.
It was now that he started cutting, and hiding his scars under his school uniform. He hid it very well, indeed, for no one ever suspected.

Puberty began to hit at age thirteen, when his cutter scars began to heal faster than normal. In hours, they'd simply disappear. One day, His hair grew out three inches, in a single day. Another day, during physical education, he had a terrible trip, and landed on his arm wrong, breaking his forearm. Three days later, it was fully healed.

Hearing news of these strange happenings, his father's lawyers searched for an answer. When they found out about Xavier's Institute, they enrolled him as quickly as they could. Cedric's progression in understanding his power has been a slow one, as he's mostly concentrating on his actual education, and doesn't like interacting much with anyone, deep down, despite how he acts around people.

History: Eighteen years ago, Ben and Jessica Spencer became the loving parents of twins; Christian and Catherine. His father and mother both natives of Washington state, they never left the great Northwest. Throughout his childhood, his father worked for a major technological firm while his mother played Suzy Homemaker, raising both children with the assistance of their paternal grandparents. His grandmother always helped around the house while his grandfather would always steal off in the mornings only to return in the afternoon with his quarry in hand.

Being twins, Caty and Christian naturally stuck together, even throughout their young school careers. However when it came to home life, both children were taught rather gender-specific roles. Caty was taught the domestic path in spite of her intellect, a trait which she inherited from her father. Christian, seemed to pick up on his mother’s laid-back approach to life, though at the same time Caty was raised by her mother and grandmother, he was taught basic mechanical skills.

It was when his father went on one of his many important business trips that his grandfather, Robert took Christian on an expedition to southern British Columbia, against the behest of his mother and grandmother. It was an interesting week for him to say the least. In that time, Christian was taught how to track game through the forest around him, how to properly maintain the integrity of his rifle and even how to clean his kill. The first time he held the rifle in his hands, Christian was petrified. The heft of the rifle was almost too much for the young lad and the crack of the hammer almost made him lose himself in his drawers.


With his grandfather’s constant reassurance, Christian began to grow more and more confident with each passing hunt. It wasn’t until he was nine that Robert allowed the young boy to actually fire a rifle. The first time he actually shot a deer, he felt sick to his stomach. Upon pulling the trigger, a shell kicked back and hit him underneath his left eye, leaving a distinctive scar. Upon the kill, his grandfather and grandson both drug the carcass back to camp and immediately cleaned it., leaving the young boy very ill. It wasn’t until a few months after his first kill that Christian became used to getting his hands dirty.

It was a peaceful life that his family led, though his father wasn’t around much. It didn’t’ matter to Christian, however. He enjoyed what time he had to spend with his grandfather on the hunt, and he also enjoyed preparing what meat he’d collect on said hunts. It was some of the only time he’d have to spend with his sister, even though they had no real friends where they lived. When he reached the age of thirteen, his maturation into adolescence was rather uneventful. He kept living his life normally, aside from the fact that his father had been transferred to the East Coast. Seeing it best that the children stay where they were used to, the twins grandparents took over guardianship of the two to keep them in the Seattle area. That was when Christian started to become a tad more withdrawn. The only enjoyment he’d get was when he was out in the forest, tracking his quarry. In between his schooling and his hobbies, he also began to participate in sports such as football and baseball.

Another quiet couple of years had passed for Christian when he was enjoying an expedition by himself into the woods. His grandfather had fallen into bad health and was in and out of bed weekly. Late into his fifteenth year, while he was quietly tracking a small brown bear, he heard something rampaging through the woods near his location. Curiously, he stood from his hunting blind only to see someone being chased through the woods. It looked like one of his teammates from the football squad, and he looked to be in trouble. Christian heard the loud voices of whomever was chasing after his friend, and noticed that when his friend leaned up against a tree to catch his breath, his skin turned to that of bark. Christian had heard of mutants, but he had honestly never seen them before. That’s when the mutant hunters came bursting through the tree line.

They all started to fire at his friend without warning, causing Christian to duck for cover. It wasn’t until after a few seconds of cowering that he realized his friend was going to get seriously injured or worse that he sprang up from the ground and charged at the patrol. The sight of the imposing teenager rushing at the patrol caused one random officer to level his gun at Christian’s chest and fire immediately. The bolt that hit the young man wasn’t a normal bullet at all. It seemed to be an energy shot, which knocked him back on his butt. When Christian sat up, he noticed that his hands were glowing a bright red and he began to shake uncontrollably. The patrol’s sensors spiked heavily in the presence of both Christian and his friend and knew exactly what was going on, even though Christian had no clue whatsoever. Two of the officers plugged Christian three times shots, which caused his hands to glow brighter than before. It was then he felt like his body was going to explode and without warning, he threw a fist out in front of him releasing every ounce of the accrued energy within. It wasn’t for another four hours until Christian awoke in a haze. His friend was gone as were the patrol officers. No, the officers lay strewn about, broken in front of him. He felt a great trepidation when he saw the line of trees in front of him either knocked down, sheared in half, or splintered into toothpicks. Fortunately for him, he was approached by two strangers; one a man wearing dark red glasses and the other a wheelchair bound bald man. After the introductions were made, both men took Christian back home and explained everything to his grandparents. They were totally understanding and allowed Christian to go to New York state, something he wasn’t keen on, but… with whatever he had done, he obviously needed to control lest more people fell its wake. It was then with a heavy heart, he bid his grandparents and sister farewell and moved reluctantly to the East Coast.

Some time had passed and Christian had just turned 18 and entering his second year of powers courses, though in terms of his schooling, he was nearly graduated. It had taken all this time to control his abilities and working to hone what he could do on the junior training squads when he finally got the call-up to the big leagues at his instructor’s request.
