Codename: Destruct
Academy X Student Team: Hellions
Age: 17
Birthday: November 17th
Hair: Nappy black grown in long locks.
Eyes: His eyes are actually Golden brown but since his powers are nearly always active, they appear blood red as a result of the the cells emitting light all the time, giving a slightly less sever version of the red eye affect. When eve he uses his powers to cool his body, the eyes turn snow white from small frost crystals that form. A blue ring surrounds the iris which has been confirmed to be the a mixture of natural tears and ice.
Skin Tone: Medium Brown with a slight glow to him.
Height: 5'10
Weight: 167
Build: Thin Muscular
Race/Nationality: Afro Brazilian/Native American
Notable Characteristics: His body is covered in multiple scars and burns due to the nature of the use of his powers.
Uniform: A simple black trench coat that encases two layers of chain mail with a black baggy jeans with black and red fringes at the back, black steel toed combat boots, and a jet black shirt with a red "X" across the chest and back. The pants split on the sides at the ankles. He also carries a holster for his knife and a pouch where he puts various pellets as "ammo."
Standard Dress: Black t-shirt, in all weather, blue baggy jeans, chucks or Ecko brand shoes and a Bathing Ape Jacket on occasion.
Place of Birth: California
Family:
Mother: Moni Alexeander (Deceased)- Showed signs of Mutation
Father: Joao Alexander (Presumed Dead)- No Mutation
Sister: Estafani Alexander (Blind)- Foresight, Slight Time Manipulation, Extrasensory.
Older Brother: Miguel: (Dead)- No Mutation
Younger Brother: Lorenzo (Deceased)- No Mutation
Superhuman Ability: The ability to control and manipulate cellular reactions in the body to control body temperature and cause rapid combustion or freezing of body parts which also allows him to slow and speed up his natural healing rate.
His powers have only begun to manifest and have yet to be fully discovered.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): Rajan is a fast runner despite his left leg being heavy and artificial. He is the fastest sprinter of the track team who does not to use his mutant powers and despite moments of cellular failure in his body, mostly in his lungs, he has a high amount of stamina and can sprint for a max of two miles before having to rest. Rajan can also thwart off low level mind reading abilities due to his mastery of tricking his own unstable mind into a state of false satisfaction. Because of his training, he has a firm defensive hand-to-hand style. Rajan also has a broad understanding of many forms of weaponry, but excels in various forms of fencing. He is also a natural musician. This comes from him being able to listen in on frequencies boarder lining human regular limitations. He has taught himself to read frequencies and can tell if a note is off. His hear limitation goes as far as the static that runs through electrical appliances.
Power Levels: (Click here for a guide)
Physical Strength (1-10): 5
Power Mastery (1-10): 6
Speed (1-10): 7
Durability (1-10): 4
Intelligence (1-10): 8
Energy (1-10): 7
Agility (1-10): 8
Personal Strengths: Rajan has an all or nothing attitude and will never take the nothing to be his demise even if he knows it's impossible. He also has the gift of remembering people very well.
Personal Weaknesses: Aside from still being physically crippled, Rajan must live with emotional scars of his entire family being deceased because of his involvement in a small time gang event. Upon his return to the X Academy, changes in behavior began to change drastically. Once a realist, Rajan transcended into a logical pessimist. His own guilt leads him into further guilt.
Personality: Rajan comes out as dismal and at certain times mentally suicidal. He pushes people away but at the same time retains a sense of self-awareness and awareness of others and their predicaments or emotional situations. Still he is a fun loving teen who would do anything for a good beat and a night out.
Hobbies: Capoeira, all forms of break dancing, Tai Chi, writing, video games, reading, pondering and letting his mind wander, playing music.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Rajan holds no thought towards either side. Whether you like him or not is your problem. As long as he or his loved ones are left alone he is indifferent to the subject.
History: Rajan was enrolled into the X Academy as a freshmen and was a part of the New Mutants Squadron. However, he was transferred, on personal request, to the Hellion team. Even so he has continued to remain separated from the rest of the students and has even avoided being around teachers and team leaders, the only ones who have been told of his past tragedy.
As a youth, Rajan was a military child and moved from base to base, coming up on stations in the Pacific and Atlantic, before finally being able to settle in sunny Spring Valley, California. There is where he discovered his powers. It simply started out as him snapping his fingers and a puff of smoke would rise from his fingers. Later he learned that the snapping could be made into a large flame. And it progressed until he was able to make a flame and keep it there for a few minutes before burning the seconds layer of skin. It was not a huge deal when his parents, or his friends found out. Quite the opposite. He became the talk of the town. However, no one was dumb enough to go out and proclaim him a mutant. The city knew what happened when someone did.
It was not until when he was ten that he made the discovery of what drives his power. While sparing with his brother and training himself to use his powers, he swung his leg and thought about his leg making a huge fire that would scare his brother. He did more than that. His leg turned the entire garage he was in to rubble, severely injuring his four friends, sister, and killing his brother. Nothing was left of the leg: bone, skin, blood nor muscle. Though young, it was then he realized the fuel for his power was himself. This realization brought about his calm and seemingly reserved nature.
Life went on and he continued on with his life, growing up like any normal child, simply with a prosthetic leg. But he remained unhappy.
The years following he struggled to control his powers and seemed to be doing well. His family was contacted by Professor Xavier and he was sent to Academy X where he and his powers would develop properly. On a trip home, Rajan found his household caught up in the middle of a gang turf battle. His father had gone off to get help but was never seen again. His mother had taken a bullet and had fallen into a comma like state. His sister would later be hit by a car and also be put into a comma around the time at which his mother's heart suddenly stopped working. The same car that struck his sister, killed his little brother thus completely taking away his family from him. In the time of his great tragedy, new powers have risen from his depressed state, the ability to freeze his cells, and the ability to repair them
Upon returning to the only place he had left, Rajan slowly destroyed most of the relations he had with other students in school and began to isolate himself to try and work his feeling out by himself. In the process he picked up a secondary ability that was not a mutation. The ability to resist all but the most powerful mind reading and phycic abilities.
Now Rajan must balance between his powers, his shattered will, and school which shall be no easy task.

Serrated Name: Donalbain Gregory "Don" MacTyler Codename: Torrent Academy X Student Team: New Mutants Age: 17 years Birthday: March 24 Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue Skin Tone: Caucasian Height: 5'11" Weight: 160 Build: Athletic Race/Nationality: Mixed European/Native American Noteable Characteristics: Tattoo on inside right forearm: (But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ). Tattoo on inside left forearm: (Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.) Small scars on face and torso. Sapphire pendant in casual dress. Appearance: Uniform: As below, but with gold trim instead of dark grey. Standard Dress: Place of Birth: Mobile, AL Family: Father: Jason James Mactyler, Deceased at 47 (Human, Fantasy author/Pastor) Mother: Mary Josephine "MaryJo" Kensington-MacTyler, Deceased at 43 (Human, Housewife) Brother: Isaac Lucas MacTyler, Deceased at 7 (Unknown) Grandfather: William Henry Kensington, 72 (Mutant [minor healing touch], Chief of Surgery) Superhuman Ability: Torrent has been blessed with a power called Hydrokinesis, the ability to remotely manipulate water and some other fluids. He has been seen to move such substances as hydrochloric acid, blood, and motor oil, though higher-viscosity fluids tend to move less... well, fluidly. -With some effort, can move around 25,000,000 liters (roughly the volume of ten Olympic swimming pools) with fine control. -Can likely move more, perhaps significantly so, but with less and less precision. -Can "sculpt" small bodies of water (3 liters or less) -Can move containers of liquid, so long as the fluid inside is at least half of the object's total weight. -NOTE: an organic barrier negates the previous usage of his abilities. For example, Torrent can NOT move people, plants or animals on his own. -NOTE: Despite what the majority of people who've seen his powers believe, Torrent is not a mutant. His power is the result of an inoperable but benign brain tumor. It is apparently quite resistant to healing as well, as he has been touched with mutant healing powers in the past with no effect on his abilities. Abilities (not gained from mutation): Highly accurate with thrown objects, some classical training in vocal music (baritone). Power Levels: Physical Strength (1-10): 4 Power Mastery (1-10): 10 Speed (1-10): 7 Durability (1-10): 5 Intelligence (1-10): 6 Energy (1-10): 5 Agility (1-10): 7 Personal Strengths: Personal Weaknesses: Easygoing to the point of apparent laziness or apathy. Also, despite his apparent mastery over water, Don doesn't know how to swim. Personality: Eager to make people laugh, through wit or self-deprecation as necessary. Staunch defender of any he considers a friend or family. Hobbies: Writing poetry, doodling comic ideas, reading, watching movies, playing tabletop RPGs, singing, learning guitar. Mutant/Human Relations View: Don believes that mutants were specifically chosen to be so by God; not in order to dominate or replace humanity, but to help and to guide His favored creation. While maintaining this view is difficult, especially when being assaulted by Human-only movements or the Brotherhood, he stands on his faith. Unfortunately, this is viewed by some as a more altruistic version of Magneto's particular vision of life. History:to be written

VelanOrien Name: Caston Harrison Codename: Solomon Academy X Student Team: New Mutants Age: 18 Birthday: December 8, 1989 Hair: Brown, dyed reddish. Eyes: Green Skin Tone: Light, but not overly pale. Height: 6'1" Weight: 156 lbs Build: Lean, with very slight muscle build. Race/Nationality: English Noteable Characteristics: Diamond piercing in right nostril. Uniform: Fairly standard black leather X-Men uniform with a few deviations. See pic at bottom of proile. In addition to that, there are many seemingly decorative bits of metal and plastic about the uniform. These are actually items Caston created to aid him in combat etc . . . There are weapons, defensive items, medical items, and the like, and their design keeps them concealed from all but the most detailed scans. Standard Dress: Caston wears clothing mainly of his own design, but one might catch him in the designs of Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Dior, and other top designers. While not over-the-top, his clothes do tend to catch the eye. Place of Birth: York, England Family: Mother: Victoria Harrison (Control over her body's cells, Duchess of Sutherland) Father: Charles Harrison, (Super Intelligence, deceased) Brother: Charles Harrison, II, 28 (Cellular regeneration, mentally handicapped) Step-father: Roger Hilbury (No mutation, no job, no title) Superhuman Ability: After Solomon's cells systematically destroyed and regenerated themselves (in order to correct what they found was a flaw in his stucture), Caston lost his previous ability to control himelf on a cellular level. His body was now normal, and his DNA was tweaked during the cellular fiasco. His new power allows him to create, manipulate, or destroy magnetic fields. His powers are astoundingly strong, but he lost all of his previous abilities, including his super-intelligence. With enough concentration he could implode a cruise ship, or halt traffic for several city blocks. He isn't limited by weight or mass, but he is by distance (roughly a mile). While his ability to act as a human computer is gone, he still retains a vast number of memories, and can still focus his concentration quite powerfully. Other Abilities: Skilled clothing designer and cook. Speaks German. Competent physician. Caston can also play a variety of musical instruments. Power Levels:Strength: 3-5 Power Mastery: 9 Speed: 3-5 Durability: 3-5 Intelligence: 10 Energy: 3-5 Agility: 3-5 (34 to 44) Personal Strengths: Caston can do just about anything he sets his mind to. He easily befriends people, and has a hard time not getting along with people. Things don't generally seem to bother him. Personal Weaknesses: He may appear arrogant and flashy (but he certainly doesn't mean to). He tries not to be clingy, but sometimes he needs to be around people. He doesn't get annoyed easily, but he can fly off the handle when he gets angry. He might be too happy. Personality: Caston loves being around people, and helping them. However, he also likes flashy things, and has expensive tastes, which nearly always gives him a negative image in most people's minds. He often believes money to be the solution to everything (especially when he is trying to help someone), but he isn't particularly greedy. His good intentions are overshadowed by negative stereotypes combined with his stubborn confidence. He tries to make friends with everyone (but particularly other mutants). Hobbies: Making clothes, cooking, yoga, cars, hanging out with people. Mutant/Human Relations: Solomon thinks that mutants should be treated as equals with humans. He isn't above manipulating humans to better the condition of his own kind (though he certainly wouldn't harm anyone in the process). History: Caston Harrison was born to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, an English family politically tied to northern Scotland. He was tutored about his mutation at a young age (he first discovered his abilities at age eight), as was his brother, though the family kept it secret from the outside world. At age twelve his father was assassinated in Northern Ireland (for his politics, not the fact that he was a mutant), and Caston was sent to the United States as a child prodigy. Solomon interned at Johns Hopkins at age fourteen, using his superior intellect to make major advances in the medical field. He contributed to major advancements in laser surgery and diagnostic medicine, specifically in degenerative illnesses. He was able to financially support himself 6 months into his internship, and by 15 his breakthroughs made him one of the wealthiest men in the country. Later that year however, his internship at the hospital would be cut short unexpectedly. Two months before his 16th birthday, Solomon began working on a cure for aggressive degenerative diseases by extracting his own cells, dedicating them to prevent brain deterioration, and implanting them in terminal patients. Everything was going according to plan, until he was paid a visit by members of a major pharmaceutical company, who thought it was better to make money selling pills than curing diseases. They gave him an ultimatum: go into seclusion and stop all medical work or become a test subject for the company. A week after his 16th birthday he was contaced by Forge of Academy X. He's been at the school ever since. PHOTOS!: Caston in UniformMein Auto

Matanago Name: Axella "Xell" (pronounced "Shell") Rondo Codename: Resonance Academy X Student Team: New Mutants Age: 16 Birthday: June 12 Hair: Black, shock blue at tips (dyed). Layered, with the longest strands being about shoulder-length. Eyes: brown Skin Tone: tanned Height: 5’3” Weight: 125 Build: petite Race/Nationality: American – Mediterranean (Southwestern Europe) descent Noteable Characteristics: Hair color. Is usually seen with a pair of either dj-style or bud-sized headphones covering at least one of her ears, either playing music or just muffling the world. Uniform: Dark blue suit with gloves, belt, and boots at stop mid-calf of a tarnished gold as well as accents –almost pads – of a similar color on her knees and elbows. While the gel in those areas offer some cushioning in case of a fall, their main use is as a medium more effective than air to carry sound, meant to strengthen a hand-to-hand attack with a small blast of sound. The golden headband that keeps her hair back also helps her to hear frequencies not even she normally picks up. Standard Dress: Relaxed. Either jeans or cargo pants, with some kind of graphic on the t-shirt or baby tee shirt she’s wearing. Sometimes a light hoodie or zip-up jacket. Place of Birth: California Family:Mother: Vivi(an) Rondo - musician Father: Chester Rondo - physicist Dog (female shepherd mix): Lulu Superhuman Ability: Heightened hearing and sound manipulation, including pitch and volume. Concentrated energy can be released in a sonic boom. Abilities (not gained from mutation): Was on the track team before attending the Academy, so is a decent sprinter and jumper. Can play the piano fairly well, and is picking up the guitar. Power Levels: Physical Strength (1-10): 3 Power Mastery (1-10): 5 Speed (1-10): 6 Durability (1-10): 4 Intelligence (1-10): 5 Energy (1-10): 5 Agility (1-10): 4 Total: 32/45 Personal Strengths: Quick learner, doesn’t stay – or at least appear to – down for long Personal Weaknesses: Might lose track of time, long-term goals, and common courtesy when completely focused on a task. Doesn't have much life experience because of her relatively sheltered life, so may have trouble empathizing with the suffering of others. Personality: Indeed a scientist’s daughter, Xell is powered by a great curiosity in the world, especially its hows and whys. Socially, she comes off as something of a well-meaning goof, and is usually the first to extend a hand, though will remember it if that hand is slapped away. The resulting way she treats those who offend her will not be outright aggressive, but certainly a lot more chilly and formal. Hobbies: Music, reading, video games, movies, trying out foreign cuisine Mutant/Human Relations View: The tensions between mutants and those without powers doesn’t really surprise her, as a look at history would show that humans are remarkably talented at finding and fighting over the most minute of differences. While she wants to believe some kind of understanding can be reached, she remains wary of any promises on either side of peace. History: -in progress- Picture: :3 ?

Urbydizzy Name: Matthieu Sylvain Codename: Overgrowth Academy X Student Team: New Mutants Age: 17 Birthday: June 5 Hair: white Eyes: blue Skin Tone: light, but not pallid Height: 5'2 Weight: 110 Build: wimpy Race/Nationality: French Noteable Characteristics: Wears large glasses at all times. Has a few faint scars on the palms of his hands due to thorns, which he is proud of but doesn't actively show off. Uniform: Blue with gold vinelike bands that wrap around his arms. On his person are various navy pockets containing seeds to use in combat. His gloves and boots are gold and reinforced to prevent scratching. (Would probably have pockets containing seeds and such, but currently not applicable.) Standard Dress: Usually large t-shirts (some sort of picture, text, or design on them is always neccessary) with a vest, and comfortable jeans of dark hues. Also wears a small gold rosary, which he is sometimes seen fiddling with. Place of Birth: Versailles, France Family:Father: Eric Sylvain - engineer Mother: Mirabelle Sylvain - architect Oodles of aunts, uncles, and cousins Superhuman Ability: Control of plant growth and shape to certain extents, heightened sensitivity to pollen and flower scents. Can also sense a plant's "mood". Abilities (not gained from mutation): Can run sort of fast due to a scholastic career of being a target of teasing, learns and reads quickly. It's not quite certain if it has to do with his mutant ability, but he gets along very well with animals. Power Levels:Physical Strength (1-10): 3 Power Mastery (1-10): 6 Speed (1-10): 4 Durability (1-10): 4 Intelligence (1-10): 7 Energy (1-10): 2 Agility (1-10): 4 Personal Strengths: Quick-minded and fleet of foot, faithful and trustworthy, never gets pollen allergies. Personal Weaknesses: Kind of easy to prank due to his faith in others and has a somewhat poor memory for people's names and faces. His mood fluctuates very easily. Personality: Under normal circumstances, Matthieu is a meek fellow that prefers not to stand out, although he will become more lively when he is assured that he will be accepted. He can be quite animated and is very passionate about his hobbies. However, he gets very shy around women and will often withdraw himself from situations with pretty ladies. Being around certain plants affects his personality. Being around predatory plants will make him more agressive, for example. This influence is most apparent in Spring, when flowers are in bloom and the normally unassuming boy becomes a creature of passion. In the winter, he tends to be more somber, but that is partly due to his dislike of cold. Hobbies: Caring for plants, reading, playing games (video, word, or number ones, doesn't matter) Mutant/Human Relations View: Matthieu believes that the whole mutant/human mess is quite ridiculous to begin with, and doesn't quite understand what all the fighting is all about. Because of this, he is very willing to help the two sides reconsile. History: Matthieu grew up in a relatively well-to-do family, and was the littlest of all of his cousins. He was an only child, but with relations scattered all over France, he had many opportunities to travel and meet others. He especially liked to go to the country, where he discovered that he had a knack for growing things. It wasn't anything unusual, he thought, simply dismissing his ease with plants as an exeptionally green thumb. However, when he started high school, it became problematic. While waiting for the bus one day, he leaned against a wall and napped. When he got on the bus, he turned to see that the vines that were on the wall had grown around him, making a perfect silhouette. This time he dismissed it as a very odd sign from above, and developed a nervous habit of fiddling with his necklace. The event that made him realize something was definately wrong was during a trip to a vineyard, where the rich scents caused him to fall asleep in one of the rows. When he awoke, he could hardly get out of the tangle of vines, leaves, and comically-sized grapes that spilled around him. He managed to discard most of the suspicious growth, but he noticed that what he touched... responded to him, yielding itself and growing like flowing water. Unable to find any answers within his relaxed faith, he told his parents about what happened to him. While they did regard him suspiciously for a few days, they realized that their son did have something more than just regular gardening know-how. Then they worried about the extent of his abilities - he had begun to experiment with crossing plants (in reality, a simple apple and orange cross out of curiousity) and fretted about the possibility of him creating something very dangerous, or mutant-haters sending pesticide in the mail. Whatever the reason, they began searching for a place to send him so he could develop his power safely and remain protected. His parents had heard about a boarding school for mutants in New York, but only due to a great catastrophe connected to it. After much debate, they approached their only son and told him he was going to America. Picture: Nyoro~n (:3

Gen X Jubilee
Name: Raelene "Rae" Gavett
Codename: Shiva
Academy X Student Team: New Mutants
Age: 18
Birthday: February 6
Hair: Dishwater Blonde/Golden Brown
Eyes: Blue-Green
Skin Tone: Fair/Pale
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 130lbs
Build: Lithe
Race/Nationality: Caucasian/American
Notable Characteristics: She has a 1.5" crescent-shaped slice scar on her left cheek leading down and away from just below her left eye.
Uniform: A navy blue sleeveless body suit with a blue X "cut out" of a gold circle at the center of her chest and a high almost Mandarin-style gold collar. One thick gold stripe continues across the top of her shoulders and lines the arm holes, then continues down the sides of the suit (containing areas of flat armor to act as a sturdy surface) to matching unheeled mid-calf boots. A loop of gold cloth hangs against both of her upper arms, she sports armored fingerless blue gloves with gold trim, and a loose blue eye patch/bandana covers the left side of her face to hide the recognizable scar while still being mesh enough to allow her to see through it.
Standard Dress: Ever the tomboy, she never wears skirts or dresses and instead prefers loose, flowy clothing overall. She can usually be found in jeans and tank tops covered by light-weight hoodies, more often than not in shades of blue because it's her favorite color. Also she always keeps her wavy hair pulled back in a low ponytail with a scrunchie when not in uniform.
Place of Birth: Orlando, FL
Family:
Andrew Gavett (Father; No known mutation)
Samantha Butler (Mother [Currently Estranged]; No known mutation)
Superhuman Ability: Shiva's main power is the ability to "grow" multiple copies of her own body parts off of inanimate solid surfaces as well as off themselves to create chains and the like. She can control these just as easily, if not more so, than her original body. Her usual mediums are arms (lacking fingerprints) and eyes, which she can use to see further away, catch, climb, lift and restrain.
Essentially her power, like Cyclops's or Nightcrawler's, involves tapping into another dimension. She can mold matter from that dimension into animate copies of her own body parts and "phase" them through solid matter in this dimension with the solid surface chosen acting as a type of portal/gateway. The copies outwardly look like her own body parts, but were they to be cut cleanly or otherwise damaged there would be no blood or bone inside, just a dark matter that would immediately turn to a gaseous form and evaporate much like dry ice when not connected to the "gateway" surface anymore. Unlike Multiple Man whose copies have their own brain, however, she controls all the partial copies through one psychic link.
Seemingly because of this superhuman ability to multi task and organize extra sensory data quickly, she also has higher than normal mental defenses from psychic intrusion as a secondary power.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): Rae is a decent singer, though she prefers harmonizing over singing melody and hopes to one day put together an a capella group just for the fun of it. She is also (mostly) bilingual in Spanish due to the tutoring of childhood friends and their family back in Orlando, is very techno-savvy, and has been a skilled juggler even before her powers emerged.
Rae's strangest ability, however, is also her biggest quirk and has yet to be understood whether it's actually a side effect of her mutation or just a mental barrier outside of her X-Factor altogether...in that she has an adaptation that borderlines on split personality. As her normal self she can be initially shy, unsure, prone to distraction and not able to project her powers with her full level of control. However putting her bandana over her eye acts as a symbolic mental "trigger" of sorts and brings on a swift and sudden change in her persona. She gains a seemingly metahuman confidence and focus (able to multi task at her highest level of control), as well as a much more mature and formal attitude complete with speech lacking casual contractions and a "pleasant poker face" consisting of a confident smile that doesn't seem to leave her face no matter what the situation is. The only thing that keeps the change from being thought of as another personality altogether is that she has (almost) exactly the same thoughts, feelings and knowledge either way and simply handles her feelings and reacts to situations differently between the two persona. Still, to combat confusion for others this formal persona is generally referred to as her "Shiva" side since she normally only wears the bandana when in uniform to hide her scar and thus her ability to be easily identified, though she goes by either name no matter what mindset she's in at the time.
Power Levels (Rae/Shiva):
Physical Strength: 5/7
Power Mastery: 5/8
Speed: 4/4
Durability: 4/7 (Only for pain tolerance and ability to keep control of her powers and emotions while injured, not actual physical ability to withstand impact)
Intelligence: 4/9 (Mostly charisma, quick strategizing, keeping control and being able to read people)
Energy: 4/4
Agility: 5/5
[Totals: 31/44]
Personal Strengths: Rae's biggest asset would probably be her self-control, especially while in her Shiva persona. A seemingly unphasable smile can be a very intimidating presence on a battlefield and she uses this coupled with her powers to her advantage whenever possible. She is also very loyal and an avid "team player", able to adapt to different roles within a group (offense, defense, reconnaissance) and be a voice of reason when tension arises.
Personal Weaknesses:
Physical Strength - Rae does not have superhuman strength on her own, and as such each of her copy limbs are only as strong as the originals. However, while more can be created to redistribute weight or add power to balance this out and lift heavy objects, it is still extremely difficult if not impossible to effectively restrain overly large or superhumanly strong opponents.
Pain - The connection between Rae and her copies is purely mental, so while damaging any of the copies doesn't hurt her real body, it feels as if it is. So she would feel like an arm was being hacked off or she'd gotten stabbed in the eye until she removed the copy. This doesn't usually break her concentration much as Shiva since she's steadily gotten used to the pain through practice and conditioning, but it's really hard for her to focus otherwise, as would be expected from someone with no healing factor.
Breathing - Because the connection's only mental, inhaling airborne poisons or smoke through copy mouths doesn't transfer the poison to her, though she would get the feeling of burning lungs during the time she'd made the copy. Unfortunately that also makes the opposite true, meaning that if she was drowning or inhaling poison herself, she couldn't just keep her mouth shut and make a copy somewhere away from the area and use it to breathe. She could make the copy, and it might psychologically relieve some of the pain tricking herself into believing she was breathing fresh air long enough to focus, but none of the oxygen would be getting to her lungs so she wouldn't really be breathing.
Vision - She needs to be able to see the surfaces to be able to grow phantom limbs off of them. Extra eyes can be used to see further away, but it's impossible for her to grow eyes on a surface inside of a room that she has no access to see into in the first place. This means that all her copies must phase towards her through the surface rather than inwardly to the other side of a wall.
Stamina - Due to lack of lower body strength Rae has low physical stamina overall and can only sprint a short distance before tiring out. As such she's not a very good close-combat fighter, though she can defend herself for a short while in a hand-to-hand fight and is training to increase her overall fitness. Though her mental stamina is much greater, even it has its limits. If she tries to control too many copies at once (about 150 as the ultimate maximum for Shiva so far and 50 for Rae normally) she can overload her senses and lose control fairly quickly, leaving herself dazed and helpless until she gets rid of them and is able to catch up with the prior rush of extra sensory data. Because of this she rarely pushes her boundaries outside of training.
Persona - On missions Rae relies heavily on the confidence and control she gets from her Shiva persona to work through her fears and other weaknesses and, given that her "trigger" is a simple piece of cloth, having it removed in the middle of a fight can mess up her control if she's working at a level outside of her normal comfort zone, and can also make her more prone to distraction from not being able to deal with pain as well. Because of this she also prefers to use her powers while maintaining her distance (long-range compared to close-combat) to lower the risk of somehow being "unmasked".
Personality: Rae could most easily be considered an introverted tomboy. She's never really "stood out" and doesn't particularly care to, preferring internet chatting with friends to partying in clubs and watching a good episode of Law and Order to watching sports or shopping. An optimist at heart (or at least she tries to be) with a strong sense of justice and a good sense of humor, she rarely gets openly depressed or angry at anything, preferring to deal with her less-than-pleasant emotions privately instead of bothering others with them. The problem with this is that she can be a little too private with her own thoughts and feelings, often holding her tongue for the sake of harmony unless she has especially strong feelings on a topic...which doesn't happen very often. Apathy is one of Raelene's best friends.
As Shiva, someone would never realize the two were one in the same unless they saw it for themselves. Shiva seems like the type that's eternally cool and calm, with an almost ever-present amused smile on her features that many consider eerie or close to inhuman. Quick-witted and easily able to speak her mind (albeit in a polite manner), she talks formally and with articulation and tends not to use contractions, almost like an aristocrat from years past. Most would think she's just faking it to seem more "superheroish", but when asked Rae chalks it up to feeling more confident and in control when in uniform, finding strength in a sense of anonymity. The truth, however, is a little more complicated...
Hobbies: "World" music, technology (especially the Internet...she's one fast typist, after all), bowling, collecting small rectangular plastic keychains with silly quotes on them, B horror movies, and swimming.
Mutant/Human Relations View: Rae is a definite supporter in the dream of mutant/human peaceful coexistence. Being one with a mutation that can be considered creepy and frightening, she has heard just about every slur and bit of fear-mongering that an anti-mutant protester could give but tends to take it all in stride. Instead of giving in to the same type of anger, she's simply decided to hope that using her powers to protect others and be a positive influence will eventually help people look past what might be disgusting or scary to them and see what good can come of it.
History: Born and raised in the suburbs of Orlando, Raelene enjoyed a upper-middle class life as the daughter of a businessman and a nurse, though because of her parents' occupations they didn't have the amount of family time that other parents and children had. Instead she would often go straight from school to the house of her best friends Bianca and Elena Estevez until one of her parents got home, and as such the Estevez's became a sort of second family to her. They taught her Spanish and introduced her to the joys of Cuban food and piña colada, and since their father was a computer programmer they also gave her her first look at the world of technology.
But things always changed, and at age 12 the best friends had to part ways when Raelene's parents divorced and she moved north to Ohio with her father. Of course they tried to keep in touch, but eventually their lives had other plans and they lost contact. Rae continued on into her teens with a slightly more introverted personality in a new, colder environment, maintaining fairly good grades in school (though not considered "gifted"), keeping indoors much more often (going from a tanned beach baby to a pale computer geek), and finding a hobby in browsing the Internet as she waited for her father to get off work. She went through school with no detentions, but also no real recognition to her credit. This didn't seem to bother her though, and she simply found it to be less stressful staying under the radar.
Unfortunately being plain and unobtrusive was not always the best thing to be in a world with people that would pray on such types. While walking back from a convenience store at night the 16-year-old was jumped by two muggers and robbed at knife point in a nearby back alley. When she realized they weren't just looking to steal her money she panicked and struggled to get away from the one that was holding her arms behind her back, kicking towards the other with the knife. The blade was thrust forward and came millimeters from stabbing her in the left eye. It was held there as a threat, but the close call pushed her already high stress levels over the edge and seemingly activated a dormant mutation.
Rae just knew that she had to get her arms free and get the knife away, and that need triggered a scary set of events. A flailing arm would swiftly grow from the shirt over the knife-wielder's side, reaching to grab his wrist and pull the blade away from her face and back towards him, in the process causing a shallow but scarring cut across her cheek. But the sudden movement coupled with the mugger's surprise didn't give him time to realize what was going on and the knife was pushed deeply back into his own chest. The teen was in shock and didn't know what had happened, and the other mugger was just as confused but much more vocal about it. Once again she panicked and needed to get away, and as soon as the grip on her was loosened a couple arms had grown from the pavement at the man's feet and gripped his ankles to stop him from coming at her again. Rae forcefully shoved him backwards as she ran past and away, only hearing a crack of head against the concrete. The next day she would hear on the news how two gang members had fought and killed each other in a back alley the previous night, one being stabbed and the other sustaining head trauma...
Raelene found herself traumatized and in shock for the next few days and subsequently holed herself up in her room during that time, unable to do much besides think about what had happened. Though it had been in self-defense and was an accident at that, she never thought she could actually take a life, much less two... In the meanwhile she was unaware that this sudden change in her psyche had begun to form into another recessive persona altogether, separating out the memories and stringing the rest together across the gaps until she couldn't even remember what exactly she'd done, just that she had been mugged, managed to escape with only a cut and suddenly gained newfound powers. It was all her mind could do to let her continue functioning as she had without cracking under the realization of being a killer.
Still she eventually had to explain this to her father, who had returned several days later from a business trip only to find his daughter with butterfly bandages across her face. After she'd explained about the mugging, she showed him what she'd been able to teach herself to do in the short time, and in turn he surprised her by somehow being okay with it. Of course seeing a human arm seem to grow out of the dining room table was a shock at first...but for a man who made business deals with humans and mutants alike, it wasn't anything especially new. The two talked it over and soon enough she applied to what was the Xavier Institute. Safe to say the returned acceptance e-mail was a big relief for one who never really considered herself a "gifted youngster", and she found herself in New York the following week.
The next year and a half was spent learning all she could about how to control and use her powers, though it wasn't as easy to find a counselor with expertise in such an ability. For a school housing elementals, tanks, phasers, psychics, ferals, energy blasters, shapeshifters and teleporters, "body part grafter" didn't exactly fit a niche... Luckily the Professor had experience dealing with things out of the ordinary and with enough tests and training they began to get a better idea of what she was capable of doing.
With Magneto's attack on New York, Raelene got her first chance to go put her powers to good use. There was preemptive concern that this would cause a major rift in human/mutant relations and so she was urged to be a bit more anonymous.As such she wore her training uniform and let her hair down this time, taking a spare piece of cloth from a ripped suit and turning it into a makeshift eye patch/bandana to hide her scar. Instantly the recessed memories and persona were triggered and Raelene found herself with a much higher degree of focus and control. She used this newfound control to create dozens more copies than she usually was able to, even forming giant limbs out of many normal-sized copies to lift cars and other wreckage off of victims and then get them to safety. This display of quick-thinking and focus got her noticed by Cyclops, who eventually added her to the roster of New Mutants under the alias of "Shiva".

The Karaoke Ninja 
Name: Iris Morrigan Bates
Codename: Pane
Academy X Student Team: Hellions
Age: 17
Birthday: October 30
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Silver
Skin Tone: Fair/Light Tan
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 126lbs.
Build: Athletic
Race/Nationality: Caucasian/American
Notable Characteristics: Iris's only striking features are her pupilless reflective silver eyes, which are a dead giveaway of her X-Factor.
Uniform: Pane
Standard Dress: Iris's fabric of choice is denim in various shades. She can normally be seen wearing at least one denim item, be it a pair of jeans or a jacket. She also isn't a stranger to dark-colored, low-cut corset tops and tanks, and always carries a pair of military-style dog tags on a chain that belonged to Glenn.
Place of Birth: New Rochelle, NY
Family:
Jonathan Matthew Bates (Father, No Mutation; Deceased)
Heather Anne Bates (Mother, No Mutation; Deceased)
Glenn Charles Cooper ("Adopted" Older Brother, Reptilian Features; Deceased)
Superhuman Ability: Pane can willfully shift her body into a clear, tempered glass/crystal state. In this state she is stronger, more durable, and is several times more resistant to bullets than the strongest bullet-resistant glass on the market currently.
This doesn't mean that she's completely invulnerable. Supersonic attacks, high-caliber projectiles and other powerful blows can form painful cracks in her glass body and chip pieces off. Once she reverts back these cracks and missing chips translate into physical wounds, though only recently has it been found that by ingesting quartz sand (silica) or glass pieces then changing to her glass form and back she can reconstitute the wounded areas and heal herself. The only problem with this is that, of course, eating glass can be a painful process.
It is thought that she may be able to reconstitute herself were her glass body to be shattered, but given that this isn't a sure thing and she has no desire to test it in case it's a false hypothesis, it remains unknown. In the meanwhile her uniform is equipped with soundproofing materials to protect her glass body from shattering due to supersonic frequencies.
Abilities (not gained from mutation): Iris is an adept kick boxer and knows basic karate, as well as the use of firearms. What one wouldn't realize is that she's also a talented cook, though she doesn't advertise this fact at all and not many know about it.
Power Levels:
Physical Strength: 6
Power Mastery: 7
Speed: 5
Durability: 8
Intelligence: 5
Energy: 6
Agility: 4
Total: 41/45
Personal Strengths: Iris is the ultimate soldier. She's a good listener, she follows orders without argument, she's intelligent and she's tactful. Though she can have a temper, she knows when to keep it in check and when to use it to her advantage.
Personal Weaknesses: Being a soldier has the downside of lacking in social skills. She rarely begins conversations in that she doesn't exactly know how to, and when she does it's usually awkward or seems forced. Because of this any goodheartedness that she may have is masked and no one really knows what she's like.
Personality: Iris is the ever-stoic type. She doesn't say much in the most literal sense. In fact her conversation comes in the form of between one and three words at a time, generally in a quiet monotone save for the occasional burst of force when necessary. She'll do whatever has to be done to achieve the goal given to her, and at least seems to have some sense of right and wrong, but generally shows no emotion to others unless they somehow manage to really get under her skin. Otherwise people have to really study her to understand her body language, and those who can understand it usually have to act as translators for those who can't.
Hobbies: Reading (mostly poetry), cooking, using the Danger Room, punching bags, sculpture (rarely), and classical music.
Mutant/Human Relations View: No one really knows what Iris's views are or even if she has any, though given her background it could be inferred that she sympathizes much more with mutants and doesn't trust humans to stop being intolerant and acting out violently.
History: Iris was born the daughter of a New York lobbyist and his wife. Initially because of the baby's silver eyes and seemingly clouded-over pupils she was thought to be blind from birth, but soon enough little Iris's ability to follow and react to things led them to take blood tests and instead conclude that she was a mutant. This devastated her parents, who up until that point had been fearful of mutants and unopposed to their segregation in society. Afraid for their reputation (as well as what their daughter might be able to do), they kept the girl inside with a less-than-kind and understanding nanny and home schooled her, leading to Iris's lack of social skills and taciturn nature.
Eventually her father sought a political position, and because of this a fifteen-year-old Iris was shipped off to a boarding school out of state. There she withdrew even further psychologically, since she was constantly teased and harassed as some kind of freak despite showing no mutation other than her glassy-looking eyes. Because of this when allowed off campus she would wear dark sunglasses to hide them. However in the town she eventually came across another physically altered mutant named Glenn with green skin and some reptilian features, who despite his initially scary appearance was one of the most tolerant and understanding people she'd ever met. The elder mutant befriended her even with her social difficulties and taught her to ignore the verbal harassment, though he also taught her some kick boxing skills for self-defense and the two would frequently have friendly spars to release tension. Over the course of the following year Glenn would become a sort of older brother to her and helped her come out of her shell little by little.
Unfortunately Magneto's crazed attack would be the beginning of the end. In the wake of the destruction Iris had no idea what had happened to her parents, and though the couple had seemed more ashamed of her than anything, they were still her family. For this reason she asked Glenn to make the trip to ground zero with her, and when he agreed they left for New York. What they found once they got there a few days later was nothing short of horrific. Iris would learn soon enough that her parents had indeed been part of the casualties, though given that that meant she was now an orphan and would eventually be forced into government care she opted to run away from it.
Glenn offered to take her in and the two decided to return to his town…but they didn't make it far. Upon stopping for gas near the state lines the two were cornered by mutant-haters that were fired up after the attack. Iris watched as Glenn tried to raise his hands and calm the other men, only to be immediately shot by the most trigger-happy of the group. In shock she suddenly fell to her knees at his side and tried to help him, in the process losing her sunglasses and outing herself to the group, who turned their guns on her assuming she was going to strike in retaliation.
Fear and stress overtook the teen, activating her previously dormant power in time for the shots. The bullets would strike a hard glass form instead of flesh. At first Iris had expected to die, and though she was surprised to see bits of metal and fine glass shards sticking out from her own torso, it took a backseat as rage formed and she lashed out on the small group in the midst of yells and bursts of gunfire. She would later be found staggering down the highway in her glass form by members of the X-Men, some cracks and tiny bullet holes showing where there was no fabric to cover them, along with blood splatter on her clothes and clear knuckles, her face devoid of emotion as she carried Glenn's body. They helped her lay him to rest and took Iris into Academy X, where she's remained the terse and stoic member of Emma's Hellions ever since.

Puppeteer of Hearts Name: Zidane Koivu Codename: Shadow Academy X Student Team: Alpha Squadron (temporarily.) Age: 17 Birthday: February 17, 1991 Hair: Black Eyes: Cold teal Skin Tone: Pale Height: 6' Weight: 200 lb Build: broad shoulders, slightly muscular. Race/Nationality: Caucasian/Finnish Noteable Characteristics: His cold teal eyes are his most notable characteristic. Also, his Finnish accent is notable. Uniform: Black and gold uniform. Standard Dress: Usually a long black jacket down to his knees, white shirt, dark blue jeans, black Etnies. Place of Birth: Oulu, Finland Family: Immediate family: dead. Extended family: over in Finland, mostly loss of contact. Superhuman Ability: Ability to manipulate shadows. Light is required for all of his techniques, otherwise there is no shadows to manipulate. Ability to move from shadow to shadow (within vision) and ability to bring tentacle like structures from shadows (solidifying them slightly) to attack ones opponent with. They can also be elongated like long thin needles. Abilities (not gained from mutation): Rather skilled in using a switchblade which he keeps on hand at most times. Use to be on his schools Snowboarding and Skiing team so he is rather skilled at snowboarding. Power Levels: Physical Strength (1-10): 5 Power Mastery (1-10): 8 Speed (1-10): 7 Durability (1-10): 6 Intelligence (1-10): 4 Energy (1-10): 6 Agility (1-10): 6 [42] Personal Strengths: He keeps himself away from a lot of relationships so he is mostly self-sufficient and doesn't get hurt to easily by others emotionally since he keeps away from deep relationships. He also has good self-esteem..usually. Personal Weaknesses: There is a flipside to his strengths which are his weaknesses. He only relies on himself usually so it is hard for him to accept help. He pride will not allow it. He feels that he has to prove himsself worth soemthing to others. Also when he does get in a relationship or deep friendship, and if he is hurt emotionally by that person, he falls deeply. Personality: Cocky, most would call him harsh or as cold-hearted as his eyes until they get to know him (which is a difficult thing to do) and see that he does have a heart. He is actually quite the romantic. Hobbies: Snowboarding, skating. Mutant/Human Relations View: He believes that mutants are superior. 'Normal' humans are insuperior and if they get in the way, then they are disposable. Humans are worth something though. He likes the idea of mutant-human relationships romantically; a quite beautiful concept. Due to these romantic views he hopes to preserve humanity. History: He was born in Oulu, Finland in 1991. He was raised by his parents and they moved over to the United States when he was 14 years old for a change of lifestyle. Oddly enough, life does not come without irony. Zidane's lifestyle did change. The plane went down in a field in Pennsylvania. He was fast asleep as the plane crashed. Luckily, he was unscathed besides a few cuts; quite a miraculous feat. His parents however were not as lucky. He was dead. When an ambulance found its way to the crash, they grabbed him. Shocked beyond all belief and scared, Zidane did something he never knew that he could do. Black serpents rose from the shadows behind the paramedics and pierced through them several times over, ripping them to pieces. He was found by someone who worked at Xavier Academy and was told that he was not the only one with these strange powers and that there was a better life. Shortly after he figured out that the plane's engines were ripped to pieces but nobody could figure out what could cut the engines apart the way that it did. It was almost like spikes had been shot all throughout the engines. He was the reason that the plane crashed. He was the reason his parents were dead. Why all those people were dead. He put himself into a shell so he could not hurt anyone else further or get hurt further. He promised himself he would come to better terms with his powers so nothing else could ever happen like that again. Years passed and he continued his training, being very devout to the cause. He became self-sufficient. He made very little friends and those who he did make, the friendships never lasted. Now his training was relatively over. Now he would have to train socially; perhaps the hardest training he will ever face; Breaking out of the shell. He joined Alpha Squadron soon after. Character Picture: [X Zidane X]

Past her waist, she can almost always be seen with a brush in her hands. It is hard to put up with but she loves it and always makes sure it looks nice. It is a dark crimson colour with black lowlight running thoroughly through it. She is prided on the fact that it is her natural colour. She has never died it. Eyes: She has deep blue eyes, the colour of the sky about twenty minutes before dusk. She has long eyelashes that cares her cheeks when she blinks. Skin Tone: She has fair skin. Not pale and not dark but she refuses to tan. She believes that they look the way they do because it is how they where intended to be. She would never alter her appearance using something unnatural. Height: She has always been taller than most kids her age. About five-eleven and a half. Weight: She weighs about ninety-six bounds, though she would rather not consciously know. Build: She is slim and tall. If compared to an animal she would be most like a ferret. Race/Nationality: She is not quite sure of her nationality.

Frayed at the bottom from natural roughing, the seam along the outside of the leg curves around. It starts at her hip like normal jeans and it continues along the leg strait until about the knee. Then it starts to cur around and the seam ends at the end of the jeans about an inch the left of her foot. She usually wears long sleeved white dress shirts. They are all slightly different, ranging from off white streaks running horizontally to ruffles down the chest. But that is rarely seen because she wears a black, sometimes grey vest over the shirt. She sews her own vests so she has a plethora of them and she can make one depending on her mood. She also has a very old dark grey, long-sleeved jacket. There are two rows of buttons and the flaps that button overlap each other.

She can hold the change when she moves and it is her choice to change, not automatic. She is learning to change into human colours, almost a form of shape shifting but she does not gain he voice. She is very talented, despite her young age. Abilities (not gained from mutation): She had always been extremely fast. Not as fast as someone with super speed, but for one without the power she can run incredibly far. She was on the track team at every school she attended and she was one of the bests at them all. She has also been training with daggers and swords, though she prefers to fight with her halberd. She fights with weapons because her ability is passive. She is also training martial arts, though she prefers using her weapons. She has also studied many languages including but not limited to English, French, German, Slovenian, Norwegian, Italian, Icelandic, Antarctic, Japanese, and Spanish. She has quick reflexes, due to her position as goalie. She can play the piano very well and she is a tallented vocalist. Power Levels: Physical Strength (1-10): 4 Power Mastery (1-10): 8 Speed (1-10): 7 Durability (1-10): 5 Intelligence (1-10): 7 Energy (1-10): 6 Agility (1-10): 8 Personal Strengths: She can speak many languages and she is extremely intelligent. She has learned very quickly control over her abilities. She is also very quick, both witted and physically. Personal Weaknesses: She is sensitive about her family.

She doesn’t interact much with other kids. Personality: She is calm and quiet. She doesn’t enjoy being around other people and she can often be seen sitting below a tree listening to music and reading. She doesn’t have any good friends and she barely knows the names of the students in her classes. She eats alone and has her own dorm. She doesn’t seem to notice, or she just doesn’t care that she could easily be ‘popular’ with her looks if she just developed the right attitude. She has never opened up to anyone except her brother. She finds very little funny and she rarely smiles or laughs. Like a brick wall, the only hint of feeling in her can be sent through her eyes. And all that can be seen is pain. She thinks it is her fault her brother was taken. She doesn’t like technology. She isn’t a ludite but she doesn’t believe that technology should even exist. She doesn’t mind being around it. The sliding doors, the computers for class et cetera. She doesn’t really care abut it, but she doesn’t own anything technological of her own. The only exception is her iPod. And even then, she only has twenty songs on it. She has this sad little 'school-girl crush' on Cyclops and that is why she is taking every one of his classes she can. It's pathetic and she knows it. Hobbies: She reads a lot and enjoys spending time on learning control over her powers. She also enjoys developing her body physically. She does a lot in the weight training and sparing rooms. She enjoys listening to her iPod but she only has two artists on it. Peyton Geerey, a young, budding Broadway star. He was a friend of hers when she attended an Arizona school. And James Marsden, *Nothing intended here, sorry guys biggrin I had to. He’s just so cool* her favorite actor of all time, who also doubles as a singer. She is an amazing singer herself, though she never lets anyone listen to her and she can play the piano. She owns a horse down in the school stables. She loves him very much and rides him at least twice a day. She also plays number thirteen, goalie for the AX hockey team. Mutant/Human Relations View: She will fight for her side, though she isn’t exactly sure why she has chosen this side. She prefers not to think about the war in particular. To her, she is just at school, and this is what is required to pass the class. History: **I have a huge list of all the places she’s lived, the dates they moved, et cetera but I forgot it at home and I’m in another state all summer. If ye need me to, I can make it all up or I can do a basic gist thing but I won’t be able to remember all the exact dates and country order until I get home.** Schedule:Period One- Mechanics II ~ Scott Summers “Cyclops”Period Two- Ethics & Mutants ~ Scott Summers “Cyclops” Period Three- US History I ~ Danielle Moonstar “Moonstar” Period Four- Tactics & Strategy ~ Scott Summers “Cyclops” Period Five- Long Range Combat ~ Bobby Drake “Iceman”Period Six- Music II ~ Alison Blair “Dazzler” Period Seven- General Power Development ~ Scott Summers “Cyclops” Abit like that, I guess.

In actually, she tends to avoid looking at people directly to avoid reading their emotions too closely. She gets very easily irritated at lies, becoming confrontational and angry. Hobbies: Running, sketching (pencil), painting (watercolor), listening to music Mutant/Human Relations View: Previously indifferent, currently believe that mutants and non-mutants should live separately. Has problem believing that the two can co-exist peacefully. History:Lincoln is a small village with a little over 300. The community has a mixture of prideful independence and strong neighborly loyalty. Like family, squabbles pop up from time to time, but normally an adult will step in to stop things before they get out of hand. Predominately white, there is a undertone of racism amongst the village. Mutants and coloreds are tolerated as long as they stay out of the way and keep their oddities behind closed doors. Homosexuality is considered a sinful choice and an abomination to God. The Summers family has been living in Lincoln for generations and are related to most of the other villagers by blood, marriage or feud. Most of the family moved away during the last factory cutback, but the few that remained stay at the traditional family home. Hank Summers, a stubborn no nonsense man, stayed at the factory that caused many of his cousins and siblings to move away. Kindly, ever practical Anna taught Art at the local primary school. Aunt Vivian moved back in with her brother's family when her husband divorced her, a community scandal that has yet to settle. She has remained bitter to this day and recites her former husband's sins at every opportunity. A firm supporter of the church and the 'old ways', Vivian constantly pesters her neighbors with complaints of coloreds and mutants 'not knowing their place' in polite society. Sarah, age 8, has shown no mutation as of yet. She idolized her elder sister, until peer pressure caused her to behave differently in public and finally eroded the relationship the sisters once shared. Jessica Summers was once the star of her family. She had moderately good grades, got along with other children well and loved to play and work outdoors. She matured a bit on the early side at the age of 12 and began taking on more chores and small jobs around the neighborhood. Around that time she became disconcertingly bright, being able to read people so well that many suspected her to be reading their minds. Dimly aware of how mutants were viewed, Jessica proclaimed honestly, "I'm not reading nobody's mind! I'm just lookn' at what's in front of me!" Anna realized her daughter might be a mutant before the rest of the family, one sunny afternoon. The two of them were painting on the front porch and she leaned over to see what Jessica had been painting. It was a rough sketch of a house on their street, where a family member had passed away. Instead of the typical brown for the building and so forth, Jessica painted strange swirls of color over different parts of the house. When asked what the colors meant, Jessica rolled her eyes and responded impatiently. "I don't know why you grown-ups pretend I can't see it. I know y'alls secret. That's how you know everything. You just read the colors off'a people." What Anna learned, she kept to herself thinking that the strangeness would either pass on its own or Jessica would learn to hide it better. While it didn't 'go away', Jessica's power did grow over the course of the next year. She learned that different shades of color meant different shades of emotion. That sometimes people felt so brightly that the color seemed to blot out everything about them, so they looked like a watercolor painting where the lines had washed away. Her neighbors learned that while she was a bright little thing, her moods shifted faster than the wind during a storm. The county fair was the highlight of the year. Placed at the tail-end of the summer, the citizens of Lincoln treated it like a goodbye to freedom and fun. Tempers and passion were quick to spark. So it was then, two months before her 14th birthday, that Jessica learned that seeing people's emotions came with a price. To this day no one remembers exactly what started the fight, but everyone remembers what ended it. And who. When all was said and done it cost the Summers family a good chunk of their savings to pay the damages and their social standing in the community for having a destructive mutant for a daughter. Jessica learned how quickly tables could turn. She became something of a hermit, avoiding people as much as she could in the small village. Her grades dropped as she stared skipping classes. She constantly got into fights when she was forced into contact with other children. She became prone to packing a dufflebag and wandering off into the woods for days on end, her location only noticeable by bright flashes of light. Character Picture:

Hobbies: Models, toy trains, reading, window watching.
Mutant/Human Relations View: He seems them as the same species because the dictionary describes a species as "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring," and so doesn't see them as all that different, so he treats them the same, mostly on a person to person basis.
History: James really doesn't remember all that much about his childhood except describing it as "annoyingly average, I think." He claims that his mother altered many of his memories to the point of permanent loss/alteration. At 15, when his powers manifested, James panicked, revolted by what he could do, and spent three nights on the street, trying to come to terms with what he was. Returning home, he took as much money as he could, some books and other items before leaving Toronto and hitching a ride with a trucker, heading for the farthest, deepest parts of Canada. With his powers and some $, he was able to arrive in a small town, get a part-time job and live in a cabin in the woods, practicing his powers and coming to terms with himself, and what he could do and needed to learn how to do. As he spent more time away from his mother, his memories began to change, and he began to remember a much different childhood. The change came in bits, sometimes in dreams, others in sudden flashbacks. At 18, he left his self-exile, and began to see at bit of the world, before ending up in Genosha, where he currently resides, trying to know what to do with himself. Recently, more hidden memories have emerged, showing his mother's devotion to Magneto's cause, and how her zealousness effected James's life. How he will react to this has yet to be seen. However, he has become much less stable recently.

Artea Name: Ricardo Guitierrez Codename: Southpaw Academy X Student Team: Hellions Age: 15 Birthday: January 18 Hair: Dark Brown Eyes: Hazel Skin Tone: Deep Tan Height: 6' 2" Weight: 240 lbs Build: Slightly muscular Race/Nationality: Hispanic, from Cuba Noteable Characteristics: Wears a gold chain around his neck with a crucifix on it, has a deep voice, occasionally uses Spanish words when he speaks. Uniform: Black & Red leather with a bandanna. The shirt part of the uniform has a large red X that crosses from the shoulders to the waist. There's also a standard "X in the circle" symbol over the left side of his chest. His bandanna is black with the "X in the circle" in the forehead area. Standard Dress: Cargo pants and button collar T-shirts, the colors of which vary from day to day Place of Birth: Cuba Family: Maria (mother), Alejandro (father), and Miguel (younger brother) Superhuman Ability: Super strength in his left arm. He can also generate powerful shockwaves in his left arm that he is able to throw by punching outward in the desired direction. This power's weakness is that the shockwave's power greatly decreases with distance so it would only be affective over a distance of 50 feet or less. Abilities (not gained from mutation): He's bilingual and is a decent runner (compared to human average) Power Levels: 40 points total used Physical Strength (1-10): 8 (left arm, his right is a 4) Power Mastery (1-10): 6 Speed (1-10): 5 Durability (1-10): 5 Intelligence (1-10): 4 Energy (1-10): 8 Agility (1-10): 4 Personal Strengths: Ricardo has a strong sense of faith and hope and once you gain his loyalty, you have it for life. Once he sets his mind on something, he's determined to see it through to the end. Personal Weaknesses: He can be very stubborn at times and he can be wreckless in battle, sometimes throwing himself in harm's way to protect someone but that may cause more trouble for his team in the long run. He also occasionally has nightmares about his life before he came to the US and has a phobia of dogs. Personality: Shy around people he doesn't know but very open and friendly with those he does. It takes a while for him to allow people to get to know him. He also has a strong sense of sympathy and has a desire to help those in need. Hobbies: Ricardo enjoys cooking and loves experimenting with various cooking styles from around the world. He loves preparing meals for his friends. He also enjoys playing baseball but doesn't like watching it on TV. Mutant/Human Relations View: Right now his view is a "You leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy, but maybe that will change as he's exposed to the X-men's ideals. History: Ricardo was born and lived most of his life in Cuba, still under Communist rule. As a result his family has had to struggle for even the basic needs and lived in constant fear of their own government. His fear of dogs came from the soilders and their dogs that would harass the average citizen. His mutant power first manifested (rather late compared to some other mutants) in a moment of stress when he was trying to stand up to some soilders that were harassing his family and neighbors. After injuring and scaring them off, he and his family were marked for death and so they tried to escape to the US. He used his shockwave ability to help rocket their makeshift raft in short bursts which caught the attention of Cerebro. The X-men arrived in Florida and through various distractions to the Coast Guard, ensured his family's safe arrival at Miami. They then explained that even in the US, life is very difficult for mutants, so they offered to take Ricardo to their Academy and his family reluctantly agreed... Character Picture: Coming soon.
