Name: Narcissa Grace Lucania
Codename: Solaris

Academy X Student Team: Omega

Age: 21
Birthday: September 8
Hair: Golden Blonde
Eyes: Cerulean Blue (White when she uses her mutation in excess…)
Skin Tone: Slight Tan
Height: 5”4
Weight: 110lbs
Build: Thin--But surprisingly fit for her hobbies of shopping.
Race/Nationality: British-American
Noteable Characteristics: Her hair is very long, down to her waist. She can be a little mouthy. A lot mouthy.Though hailing from London she has the attitude of a bitchy Cali-girl. She could be the next top model without thought... But such things don't interest her.
Uniform: ( Black & Red )
Standard Dress: She usually wears something sassy and eclectic. Not to mention she has a penchant for PVC and leather. She has the look of a bombshell blond-- Not a hair out of place. She wears only labels, and leans towards mini dresses and high heels. Occasionally pants will grace her form...But this is rare. And if they do, they hide very little from the imagination.

Place of Birth: London, England
Family: Mother: Elizabeth Lucania (Deceased)
Father: Carlisle Lucania (Deceased)
Grandfather: Christopher Stone (Guardian)

Superhuman Ability: Absorption of ambient/celestial energy.

The most notable source of energy to her is the sun. Narcissa’s cells are constantly absorbing , among other things, solar energy-- And much like a plant they store it. She does not know what her limit is-- Or how much energy she can take in before her mutation begins to show. If her body takes in too much, her skin begins to lighten, almost glow, and her body temperature rises dramatically. Her touch, and soon enough her presence is lethal.-- An inferno in her wake. She tends to go nuclear after a point, a barely contained nova. She can boil water just by being too near to it-- Turn sand to glass just by touch.

The light that she emits is pure white in color. Solar energy is naturally white, but when seen though the atmosphere it appears yellow. It does not take on another color until it starts to burn. Her body serves as a livewire conduit, that absorbs energy and redistributes it in it’s natural form-- Though obviously on a lesser scale. Once the energy is absorbed, it becomes a part of her-- Fused with her cells. If she isn’t careful, she can easily set things on fire. Quite a power house, no part of her can be touched if she looses control. The energy flows out from her quickly-- In searing waves, almost a plasma form, and burns everything that isn’t smart or fast enough to get away to a cinder. Most regular flame will not harm her-- She is already hotter than that if she’s using her powers. Water tends to evaporate before it touches her.

She has mourned the loss of many an outfit that way.

Her emotions trigger her mutation, she can also call it fourth by will alone-- Although she isn’t so good at shutting it down. She does have a natural psionic focus that allow her to attempt to direct the energy-- Though she is poor at it. She has managed to make an unstable orb the size of a tennis ball that has the power of a small bomb if thrown. If she maintains focus she can shoot a concentrated beam from her palm or finger tip-- It can make magma of rock, and slice through steel.

If she is locked in the darkness too long, she will grow tired, and eventually ill. Night is hard for her-- She can feel the sun setting, her main power source, like a kick to the stomach. Although if the moon is present, and unhidden, the reflected light-- Though less powerful than the sun, is more than enough to sustain her.

She comes to the Institute for help. She has been living in England because of the terrible weather, and because it was home. With little to no sun, her mutation is more easily managed… She has more control than she used to, and now trusts herself around people, but she is still desperate for help. This is what leads her to stay at the Academy... Her potential to go off like an atomic bomb is always in the back of her mind-- Though over the years she has far more control than she ever has before.

Abilities (not gained from mutation): Archery. She can play cello. (Does not advertise this...) Shopping--- (Does that count?)

History: Narcissa was born in London, England-- The land of rain and tweed. She grew up with a very peaceful, if not completely normal life. Her mother works for Narcissa’s grandfather, Christopher Zale. Her mother originally came from the United States, but Christopher had decided that ‘Zales Diamonds’ needed to expand Internationally. Elizabeth was chosen of her other two siblings to begin the corporation in London-- And while there met one of the top curators for the British Museum ‘London’ Branch. Carlisle Lucania was a sweet man, funny-- Who never seemed to look his age. Elizabeth was taken with him, and not a year later they were married.

Life for Narcissa was easy, and perfect. She spent summers in the United States with her Grandfather, and went to London Elementary, and London Middle school during the year. She kept up her grades, and formed her own circle of friends- Though some were more vapid than others. Her parents tried to raise an unspoiled knowledgeable child-- And they partially succeeded. She was very, very intelligent. But at the same time, she became very spoiled, used to getting her way.

Carlisle was called by a the Columbian Museum curator-- They were friends, and often shared new finds. This time Rafael Bole had found something that he said Carlisle needed to ’See to believe’. So the family trip was scheduled for Narcissa’s next school vacation.

They went to Barranquilla, Columbia and were met at the airport with armored cars. Confused by this, the family did question it-- and that they were told that the streets were not always as safe as they looked. Especially for three beautiful, obviously wealthy individuals that did not speak the language. The first three days were peaceful, and Narcissa spent her time with her mother and the marketplace. They were escorted through the blistering heat, and no one really seemed to notice the usually pale child gain a slight glow. It could have been excused as natural-- unless one looked too close.

It was around high noon in the private courtyard of the villa that had been rented and furnished for them that Narcissa herself began to notice something wrong. She felt pressure all over her body, and unusually, but not uncomfortably warm. The grass under her feet blackened… Her clothing began to melt away unnoticed…The once barely noticeable glow began to brighten and blaze until nothing of the young woman could be seen… Flames licked outward from her as she grew lightheaded, crawling though the dry grass like wildfire. The pure white of the light, emitted a terrible heat that caused nearby trees to catch fire and burn. The low hanging eaves of the villa easily blackened as they began to catch fire.. The once almost peaceful light around her began to swirl furiously, burning outward as the light became tainted and red.

She awoke covered in a blanket, in the arms of a stranger, who seemed to be sucking the deathly light and heat away from her. It was like a cooling breeze to her aching skin, and she slipped back into the blackness exhausted.

Sirens could be heard in the distance, panicked screams of those running around-- Behind Narcissa, the Villa was happy burning to the ground-- Part of it seeming completely blown away.

She was found alone by her smoke stained, soot smudged mother as the fire was slowly being contained--

It was attributed to arsonists. It was a miracle that she wasn't harmed, of course.

Through her time there, Narcissa stayed indoors. Every time she walked outside, she could feel that familiar warmth and pressure… Part of her wanted it. Part of her feared it whole heartedly- She did not understand. She'd been a mutant for years... But the cloud cover in London kept it bearable, until now.

Worried that the family was being targeted-- Mr Bole hired local help to keep the family safe for the rest of his stay. Rafael was good friends with Esperanza Stone of Barvaria Brewery, and she was happy to lend some of her security. Among them was a boy perhaps a year her senior, with a stern expression and dark sunglasses. Carlos, he called himself-- And weather it was fate or chance, Narcissa recognized him.

He had been the boy that had taken the light and fire from her the day she burned the villa down.

For a long time she avoided him-- But eventually they talked. His power allowed him to help her… Soon after that they became friends. Narcissa never asked how he knew to find her-- She was only grateful that he had.

They kept in touch, and every time Carlisle made a visit to Baranquilla, Narcissa at least accompanied him. Narcissa practiced her powers during those trips with her father, and tried to hide it every other time. She learned many things... It was around that time that she learned some humility- Even if outwardly she was still spoiled as ever.

She was fifteen when her Guardian, Christopher Zales, finally discovered that she was a mutant-- Causing all the random fires and burn marks. Her parents had perished in a plane crash that she had been in.. And somehow survived the explosion. She accidentally set her bed on fire while reading a hurtful text message from one of her friends. She tried to call the fire back to her, but it wasn’t working… The smoke detectors went off, and her Grandfather woke and ran to her room, only to find her bed linens a smoking mess. Narcissa had tried to put it out with water… At first he was furious-- Thinking that she had taken up smoking, as so many teenagers did… The more they questioned her, the more panicked Narcissa got. All the burned holes in her clothes, in the carpet, curtains, sofa’s-- That had to be it… So he mentally pushed her.

Backed up against her closet door, her hand on her computer desk-- She began to smell burning wood. Her Grandfather looking at her in shock-- And she caught sight of herself in the mirror. Her eyes had gone completely white, her body glowing, features unreadable. Clothes burned away…Hair fluttering in an invisible wind, each strand glowing just as brightly as she was. Looking down at her hand, jerked it back-- Leaving a burned hand print in the solid oak desk.

It was her Grandfather's friend who suggested the X Academy. They could more than afford the tuition-- And friends with similar problems had told him good things about it.

So it was decided that Narci would go to the United States-- No matter how much it was against her will.

--

Since then the sun goddess has gone through various transformations, and currently leads the Omega team. She is... Strong willed, as she ever was, with a wicked tongue... Her past is not pretty, her years serving the school not kind. Her files have been moved to a higher clearance level since her abduction to Limbo... There are secrets Emma has decided that she need not know. Things that she had done, while brainwashed... That she need not remember.

Little does Emma realize-- That despite the mental blocks, the alternate personalities are mutating within her, influencing her. It will only be a matter of time before the blocks erode completely...

Picture Updated: 2-16-11

Name: Kerrigan “Kerri” Schwartz
Codename: Knoxx

Academy X Team: Omega

Age: 20
Birthday: May 19th, 1990
Hair: Red
Eyes: Pale green
Skin Tone: Kerri has flawless, pale skin
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 139 lbs
Build: Kerri is in peak physical condition. She is toned, though not so much as it takes away from her figure.
Race/Nationality: Caucasian
Notable Characteristics: None other than her hair.
Uniform: Her uniform consists of her mechanical armor suit, which is black with glowing red trim. ( Uniform without Helmet – [-X-] )
Standard Dress: In the last year, Kerrigan has moved from one of the biggest tomboys in school to one of the most fashionable. This most likely came about by her constant access to Cissa's closet, but regardless her tastes have changed. While she will still wear her jeans and a tank top, she is not above wearing the occasional dress, or even heels. Her fashion world has been opened.

Superhuman Ability: Kerrigan has the ability of “Adoptive Muscle Memory,” which allow her to copy any action she sees. However, she cannot mimic powers of any kind. Typically this is used in terms of fighting styles, which she is always up to learning. Often, she does not realize that she is taking on new characteristics, since once she knows how to do something, it is almost as if she has been doing it her entire life. Of course she can only imitate abilities as far as her physical limitations will allow her, which is why she works so hard to remain in peak condition. In order to make the abilities she mimics permanent, she has to practice them consistently - without any work at them they would fade from her "memory" within a year.

Abilities (not gained from mutation) : Kerri has been bred for physical combat, and so she is much stronger, faster and more flexible than normal girls of her stature. On a more mechanical note, her uncle is extremely gifted with making armor, and also worked for the army for many years. After he retired, her father told him about her abilities, and he engineered a mechanical armor-suit of sorts for her to wear, which enhanced her physical stamina to match her abilities. In recent months, her suit has been upgraded to connect to the web, able to pull videos and such from the internet on a moment's notice to show her any skill she wishes to learn. While it takes time, and is not necessarily efficient in the midst of a battle, it opened a whole new realm of possibilities to her.

As of right now she has been "trained" in the following areas:
~Several different forms of martial arts
~Kick boxing
~Archery
~Gunmanship
~Parkour
~Gymnastics

Levels:
Physical Strength (1-10): 5
Speed (1-10): 5
Durability (1-10): 6
Intelligence (1-10): 4
Energy (1-10): 8
Agility (1-10): 8
Power Mastery (1-20): 10
( Third Year Powers: 46/46 used )

Place of Birth: Fort Knox, KY
Family:
Heather Schwartz - Mother
Daniel Schwartz – Father (Military – Army)
Xander Schwartz – Brother (Married to Kaelin Hammond)
Randall Schwartz – Brother (Military – Marines)
Daniel Schwartz Jr. – Brother (Military – Army - Deceased)

Personal Strengths: Kerrigan is still as dedicated as ever, willing to do whatever it takes to advance herself mentally, physically or even emotionally. While before she could be seen as cold by others that didn't know her well, she has grown more social in the last year, and is known as a person you can depend on for whatever you need. She might still be quiet and like to be by herself a lot, but she is hardly the mystery that she used to be. Of course, nothing is more fun for her than physical activity to this day, but she has learned to tamper that excitement and zeal with friends and a social life. All in all she is more rounded and confident in herself than ever.
Personal Weaknesses: Even with her new confidence, she is still the girl with the crazy drive to prove herself and her abilities. She never got over her fear of looking weak, and therefore she still often pushes herself too hard. Since the passing of her brother while he was in active duty she can sometimes lash out at others when she is having a particularly bad day, and since then it seems that she is more susceptible to stress. It is dealing with these emotions and stressors that she has problems with, especially considering her tendency to bottle up negativity inside herself to keep it from being a burden on her friends and loved ones.
Personality: Kerrigan is infinitely more social than she used to be, and as a result she is more firendly and warm towards others. Since the death of her brother, however, she has days where depression sets in, causing her to revert to her old ways of isolation. Like any girl her age, she has her good days and her bad days. Once someone makes it into her inner circle, there is no loyaler friends that this redhead. At the same time, get on her badside, and watch out.
Hobbies: Physical activity of all kinds, including a lot of extreme sports and activities that many would find scary or uncomfortable. If she is not in school, it is a safe bet one could find her in the gym or out on the grounds with a book in her hand. Recently, she took to engineering as a hobby, mostly because of working with her uncle on her mechanical suit.

View on Human/Mutant Relations: Kerrigan has a hard time understanding why people are so against those with mutations. Because her parents have always been so accepting of her ability, why someone would want to treat her differently doesn’t make much sense. She is for protecting people, whether they be mutant or human, and therefore she tries to remain as neutral as possible.

History: On May 19th, 1987 Heather and Daniel Schwartz gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. From that moment on, they knew that she was going to be special, and took care to give her all the privileges that they could afford. However, Kerrigan grew up as an “army brat,” the youngest of 4 children with 3 older brothers. As a result of this, she learned to toughen up quickly as a child, and was the most eager of the bunch to learn how to fight and defend herself by her Father from a young age. As she grew and matured, her family began to notice that she had an innate ability to mimic the physical movements of those around her, starting at around the age of 6.

When she turned 6, she was put into a military education, living on base with her family, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Her ability first surfaced when she watched a little boy scale the monkey-bars with ease on her first day of recess. Without a moment’s hesitation, she jumped up on the bars and made it completely across without a single mistake. Furthermore, in gym class, she was able to flawlessly replicate the drills they were shown in class with only watching the instructor demonstrate it once. Her teacher’s were baffled, but her parents had a sneaking suspicion she was one of the “mutants” that they had heard about on television. After taking her for genetic testing, secretively of course, their suspicions were confirmed. Of everyone in their immediate family, she is the only one with an ability.

Both parents were extremely supportive of her ability, and both did whatever they could to help her control and learn how it worked. Her father headed the majority of the physical training, and her brothers were great sparring partners. When Kerri was 13, her father was deployed over seas, leaving her mother to take over her “training.” As time dragged on in her father’s absence, her mother taught her more about grace, and imitating things other than fighting. Her brothers took over her physical training at this point, even though her mother was not too happy about it. However, with two of them in the army as well, she was basically going through the same basic training as they were before she could join up. She studied everything from karate movies to etiquette movies, at the urging of her mother, resulting in her being able to compete at a black-belt level as perform a perfect curtsy.

Her father returned from his 2 year deployment to find that she was more than proficient in almost all forms of martial arts and kickboxing, but also that she had been studying gymnastics and parkour in her free time. He was proud of her, and rather than trying to teach her a wealth of new skills, she decided that it would be best to work on her physicality than anything else so that she would be best prepared in any situation.

Kerri’s uncle also worked for the military as an armor engineer, working to develop a new sort of mechanical armor for soldiers to wear. Unfortunately, he could not seem to get a prototype working that was up to the Army’s standards, and so he retired early. Kerri’s father brought her Uncle (his brother) to live with them at the time, and explained Kerrigan’s unique situation to him. Her Uncle was intrigued, and so with the help of the family, he was able to construct a suit especially for her, which he explained would enhance her physical attributes such as strength, agility, speed, etc. She began to train in the suit, and after a few months, she found she could fight worlds better than she had been able to do before, which was saying something.

When Kerri turned 18, she graduated from school, and was ready to enlist in the army, which had been her plan all along. However, her parents thought that it would be a better idea for her to attend another few years at a school where she could be around other mutants full time, and learn to deal with her powers even more. They were supportive, and always did what they could, but knew they would not be able to help her as much as others might be. It took a little bit of convincing, but they got her to agree to attend Xavier’s School for the Gifted for at least a year before she decided if she wanted to continue her education further, or go into the military. Between school and her personal training, Kerrigan had not been able to develop very good social skills, so she was a little worried about going, but knew that if her parents thought it would be for the best, then it was what she needed to do.

Upon graduation, Kerrigan was set to go into the military, as per her original plan. However, news arrived that her brother, Daniel, had been killed in combat when he was captured by enemy forces. The way the situation was handled angered her so much, that she gave up her future military career, instead opting to stay at the Academy for University courses. Considering the military was all she ever dreamed of doing, she is going through a transitional period in her life that is starting to take it's toll on her physically and mentally.
