Signing up, my darlings.

Name: Apollo Mishenka Wilde
Call sign: None as of yet - Probably nothing more than just "Apollo"
Age: 19, 20 in the AOA timeline
Hair color: Dreadlocks reaching to her midback
Eye color: Molten pale Gold
Sex: Female
Height: 5'4
Star Sign: Leo

Powers: Much like the god she is named for, Apollo has an incredible ability to heal. She is unable to heal herself, however, and has no "marvelous" regenative skills herself, and serious healings such as terminal illnesses and severe organ damage take a lot out of her, and require a minimum of two weeks for her to recover from it. Inducing euphoria or pain [ she has to be either happy or sad for this to happen, and only through some form of music, ei, singing, playing the piano ], and producing light. The latter power isn’t seen outside of the bedroom, if you get my drift.
_______________________________________________

"Everyone tells a white lie. In my case it would be a compliment."

Apollo is not a people person.

Despite being named after such an amiable god, Apollo is a bit of an elitist and is under the general assumption that she is better than 95% of the people she is unfortunate enough to run across. This, however, has nothing to do with her powers. Take them away and she’d still be the arrogant pain in the ass that she is with them. She is infatuated with the arts - she enjoys drawing, writing, and music [ mainly classical and Asian, such as Korean, Chinese, and Japanese ] fully. She often wears something red [ since it’s her favorite color ], and something loose. For example, she’ll wear a tight red shirt, but baggy blue jeans. She abhors bad taste in clothing, and will be quick to tell you so if you ask her opinion. She is usually never seen without her CD player and a book, and wears no make-up. If you ask her if she thinks she’s pretty, she’ll say ‘yes’, and look at you like it was a given, although she really leaves that up to the viewer. She has a bit of a complex about she looks - she acts like she doesn't care when she actually does. She won't fish for compliments, though. She wears nothing to cover up the odd color of her eyes.

Written off as a child prodigy in her younger years for her ability to play the piano, Apollo enjoys the limelight, and those who don’t recognize her as a cynosure are in for a hard time. In simpler terms - ignore her and face her wrath. Despite seeming like a complete attention whore bitch, Apollo isn’t really a mean person at heart - just reluctant to open up and picky. Relationships aren’t really a good thing for her, either…or at least close ones. She’s slow to make friends, but once she has, she proves to be ultimately loyal to them and very caring. She also has a habit of asking people three questions before she allows them to talk to her. Answer all three and she'll grace you with speaking to you on a regular basis. Answer two and she'll be...remotely nice to you. Answer one, she'll know that you're alive, and answer none of them, expect her to walk off without a second glance.

The product of a broken home, Apollo found solace in the arts, and learned from an early age not to rely on people readily. After being let down in nearly every way possible from nearly every person she met, she finally just decided “Fuck it,” and started blocking people off. Although she finds a temporary home in the adulation of those that come to see her play [ mainly because of the euphoria that she can induce ], she’s a solitary person with a tongue as sharp as a razor, true to her namesake.

She is proud of her Russian/Irish heritage - under the assumption that both were some sort of hero. In actuality, the “Wilde” surname comes from the illegitimate child of an Irish Airman [ perhaps the one made famous by Yeats - if you get that joke we’ll get along just fine ] and a Harlemite. The Russian comes from the same sort of relationship, with a bit of a kinder air. While the airman chose to return home, leaving his child and lover behind, the Russian sailor visited his wife and child frequently, until he was killed at sea. Her middle name comes from the name of the loving Russian sailor, while her last name comes from the Irish airman. Although the child was illegitimate, the airman saw no harm in letting the child have his last name.

Although she has recently graduated from high school, she chose to continue her education at the Institute, hoping that it would provide some sort of entertainment for her. Since she is away from her home, contact with her parents and other family members is rare. Due to her rough past with them, she would rather be left alone. They know she’s a mutant….but don’t really care. As long as she continues to make them look good with her talent on the piano.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Name: Artemis Foma Aloyoshenka
Call sign: none
Age: 20, 21 in the AOA timeline
Hair color: Black, and curly. He wears it tied back from his face with a red lace
Eye color: Silver
Sex: Male
Height: 6’7
Star Sign: Cancer
Identifying marks: Crescent moon tattoo on left upper bicep. Eye of Horus on right upper bicep. Zodiac symbol for Leo on his left pectoral. 3 piercings in his left ear, 1 in his right ear. Both nipples pierced.
Build: Swimmer’s [ broad shoulders, tapering torso and waist, long lean legs ]
Attire: Immaculate black jeans, and a sleeveless dark red shirt with a high collar

Powers: Similar to Apollo, Artemis’ powers are that of the goddess that he is named for. He is an incredible tracker - all five senses have been enhanced to the point of forensic science. If he were to come across a skull in the woods, he could tell you how long it was there, if the victim were male or female, young or old, and to a certain extent, the facial features.

A second mutation mutant, he also has Apollo’s abilities to generate light, although he doesn’t have to be aroused to do so. From this light, he is able to concentrate it into a ‘bow’ and ‘arrow’ of sorts. The ‘arrows’ have the same affect as lighting, except rather than burning their target, they freeze it.

He shares also a sort of telepathy with Apollo, although its rather weak on her side.

Weaknesses: For Artemis’ powers to work, he MUST be in open spaces, or large rooms. If he were locked into a bathroom, he’d be pretty much helpless. Well, not quite, but his powers would be knocked out of commission. In addition to that, his second mutation prohibits him from creating his light without generating an arrow, and the arrows can only be ‘held’ for no longer than 2 or 3 minutes. After the allotted time is past, the force will either inflict the world’s nastiest case of frostbite, or recoil back onto him. His tracking abilities really are sort of limitless, but he looses concentration easily around a certain golden “twin” of his.
_________________________________________________

“I won’t allow for any intrusions, Apollon…”

While Apollo is not a people person, Artemis is. He is incredibly friendly and outgoing, as welcoming as his outward appearance - like that of a bonafied Bottocelli pretty boy angel. He shares Apollo’s love of music - his instrument of choice being the cello. He is fairly confident of all of his actions, and unlike Apollo, doesn’t need reassurance from others. He is a wildly independent person, although fiercely devoted to Apollo, as she is to him.

Artemis is Apollo’s distant cousin, a remnant of her Russian bloodline. Born a day and a year before her, he acts as if he were her twin, rather than her cousin. Raised in the wooded country of Russia, Artemis and his parents moved closer in to Moscow in order to travel to the US more easily. Once he was able to get into physical contact with his cousin, a tight bond formed between them - one that remains unbroken to this day.

Returning to Russia from that first visit, Artemis realized that he had some sort of mental connection with her, and from that day on, used it as a constant way of keeping in contact with her. Despite the abject poverty that often held his country in a strangle hold, Artemis was fairly well brought up to a doting mother and distant father. He could speak English well by the time he was six, and in later years, would master Latin as well. He is engrossed easily by history, and by the arts, just like his American counterpart. Despite the somewhat negative rap that male ballet dancers would receive in the US, Artemis proudly pursued the art form, becoming a “prodigy” as well.

Artemis has no criteria for his friends as Apollo does, but he is not wholly warm, either. The appearance is misleading - he can be rather heartless, cruel, and vindictive when need be. When it is him and Apollo together, it is either about him or her - nothing else matters. If he is insulted, he is quick to avenge himself. To a further extent, if he feels Apollo or his mother to have been insulted, he will act swiftly and coldly.

Outwardly, him and Apollo have a close and competitive relationship - one is always trying to best the other at some thing. Even though this devotion is intense, Artemis has chosen to stay in Russia while Apollo pursues her career at the Institute. He feels that if he is to truly understand his powers, then he has to work them out himself.

As chill as the dark side of the moon, he is not above helping children and animals, hence his name “Twin Helper of man”. [ the translation of his middle and last name ]. With so many positive attributes, it’s possible for the mere acquaintance to miss the more darkly ambitious side to Artemis - he clearly has his own motives, and won’t stand for people getting in his way. A creature of solitude at heart, he has his own designs and his own methods of carrying them out.

But whenever she needs him, he’ll be there. Their relationship works on a much deeper level, and can never be taken for face value. Intricately tied to one another, one end leads to the other.
****************************************************


Name: Andrea Meleager/Hermes
Call sign: Hermes
Age: Appears 27, is thousands of years old
Hair color: Jet black and straight. Keeps it back in a short ponytail
Eye color: Watery blue-green, with more green than blue
Sex: Male
Height: 6’4
Star Sign: Virgo
Identifying marks: Left nipple pierced, three earrings in each ear, one in his tongue, and another below the equator
Build: Tall and thin.
Attire: A black high-necked muscle shirt, black pants, black boots, black trench over the whole shebang

Powers: God of the Crossroads, trickster, messenger

Weaknesses: Women and cigarettes. He gave up booze. Supposedly.
___________________________________

“I used to be a Mormon, you know.”

“Convenient” is the word that would best sum up Andrea’s life and fortunes. He started off as your idle farm boy, and matured into one bonafied asshole. Incredibly intelligent and witty, he is impossible to love and impossible to hate. Even those most annoyed with his presence find themselves attracted to him. Maybe because he walks as if he has his own jazz band behind him.

Moonlighting as a continuous student of the theater, Andrea is deeply involved with many illegal activities - namely drugs. Not that he does them, of course. He just has several ties to people within that black world without fully talking to them. Just how deeply no one knows - even to the people that ‘know’ him best. He is an enigma, and doesn’t offer up hints to his being.

His sexual habits are enough to disturb anyone. Slightly bi [ if it feels good, he'll go with it ], he has no qualms with any sort of sexual practice. However, he'll let you be the one to make the suggestions.

At one point in time, he used to be somewhat of a normal person.

His connections to Apollo are a bit shady - if you ask her, she’ll tell you he’s her mentor with an eye roll. Just what their exact relationship is varies. Even though they’ve known each other for years, she couldn’t even tell you his last name. He's been revealed to be the god Hermes, although his dealings with Apollo still remain in the dark.

Eye color: Black. His pupils and iris are composed of the reflection of different celestial bodies
Sex: Male
Height: 6’
Star Sign: Most recently, Scorpio
Identifying marks: A tattoo of an Egyptian style reclining jackal on his chest, black angelic wings
Build: Slender, almost like a girl’s
Attire: Silver snake armbands on both arms, golden bracelets. Silver, gold, red sandstone, onyx, and opal Egyptian necklace [ the large ones that start at the throat and end usually about an inch or two above the chest ], gold drop earrings, gold rings on all fingers of his right hand, and silver rings on all fingers of his left, a linen Egyptian wrap of iridescent silver like cloth held with a crimson belt -dyed with blood-, and sandals.

Powers: Like Apollo can heal, Anubis brings death. However, before he can do so, he must weigh the heart of his victim on his scales. If the heart [ or deeds ] is heavier than the feather he weighs them against, he is allowed to kill them. He is immune to things that would cause mortals to die, such as disease. He can be evoked to protect a person from death, how long his protection lasts depends on the person and their deeds, however.

Weaknesses: Light. If he must be out and about in the daytime, he has to take several precautious to take care of himself and to hide, or else be exposed for who he truly is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anubis is a name associated with antiquity….and like time and tide, he drifts in and out of the mortal spectrum. As protector of the Dead, he has seen his powers and his very existence scorned as the eons pass by, but recently, he has been called forth to protect one who means Life…And without Life, there cannot be Death…

Here is my char

Fellen Vornen
Age: Unknown
Height: 5'7"
Weight 220lbs
Hair: White with Red Streaks through it
Eyes: Green but can change to white and he can make his eyes blair red
Distigushing Marks: Has his arms covered by tribal designs over it and all over his back
Powers: He has a healing factor and his reflexes are astounding and his agility is better than a cats, he is very quick on his feet. He can channell sonic waves into small cuts from his sword. His senses are very heightened. He is trained in forms of martial arts and the artful style of swords. But on the other side of the spectrum he has no confindence in himself at times, he gets severe cases of depression that slows his entire body down and his mind, until he can get out of that mind frame.

Allias: Blade




Origin:
Fellen was a mutant that was rejected by his entire hometown and he ran away, he didnt know what to do or where to go, he just ran and became a bum for awhile. He than met a man that took him in off the streets and taught him martial arts and the art of the sword and how to use guns, that man took care of Fellen for 10 years, and one night he left Fellen in New York at a local library, and he abandoned him. The only things that Fellen had was his heart soul and his sword that his Sensei gave to him that was a Katana. Fellen did not know what to do, maybe it was because he showed his Sensei his powers and he freaked out, but Fellen was used to it. Later he got into some trouble with a gang and things got out of hand and the X-Men came and helped him by taking him into there school for the gifted. Now he trains and learns there about the world and how to control his powers.

New Char

Name: Selenia
Alias: Livewire
Age: 18 but because of how small she is she appears younger
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 110lbs.
Hair: Golden blonde down to the bottom of her ass
Eyes: Emerald green when she is happy, blood red if angry

Powers: Controls electricity, can shoot it out or channel it through her own body, can also channel the energy so fast through her that she can move through objects, similar to shadowcat.

Background: Her mother was truck by lightnign on the way to the hospital to give birth, Selenia was not expected to survive but did. Mother died in birth and without a father to be seen she was sent to an orpahanage, as a result she is very solitary.

Name: Asiana Ellis
Age: 19
Race: African-American
Height: 5'1''
Weight: 100 lbs
Hair: Light brown, ending just at her shoulders
Eye Color: Light brown
Call Name: Blaze

Powers: She can control fires, make and extingish them at her will

Quirks: Has been known set fire to a few things by accident. She's still learning how to control her powers fully.

Personality: Shy and sweet, Asiana tries to be everyone's best friend, and is the one to come to for realistic advice. But, she sometimes has an uncontrollable temper at the unfairness of the world.

Orgin: Unknown. She traveled the streets alone must of her life, trying to comprehend her stranges powers before coming to the school for the gifted.

Weakness: Has the ability to create a large fire storm, but is very weak afterward, and it takes some time to recooperate afterwards, since she is still in the learning stages.

I dunno if I should say anything, but I think that Feral Black was made a little too powerful Spike D. Having all those powers basically make her immortal. I really think you would need to tone Feral down because playing with a character who is that powerful really takes the fun out of role-playing, especially since there doesn't seem to be any flaws with the character to counter-balance the great power. I think it was be fair to everyone if you foundt some way to make things more fair. I mean even though Magento is very powerful, even he had his flaws which could make him very weak. I mean, none of the X-men could harm Apocolypse. The only time he had truly gotten hurt and nearly killed was when he was attacked by Doomsday during the Superman vs. Doomsday series.

ok folks I need everyone to look over their chars, each needs some sort of weakness, EX: my char has a slower healing factor, quicker than a normal humans but less than Logan's, then add in his bloodlust. If we keep getting too many powerful chars I'm gonna start putting limits on powers, please lets all make the powers limited so that way we all have fun!!!

Hell, can I just play Rouge?

Shadow Stalker (nicknamed Shade)

Hi
It's been a while since I've joined a thread, but I'm interested in getting back in. I'd used a character named Lucas sometime back, but his character was somewhat similar to Maniac's, though with pronounced wolf characteristics and more self-control.

That being the case, I would like to introduce this character.

Name: Goes by Shade; parents were killed when he was very young and Shade was the name given him by members of the mutant underground who took him in.

Call Sign: Shadow Stalker (prefers to be called Shade)

Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 170 lbs.

General Appearance: Lean & hard bodied; skin color when not employing his powers is a sort of dark tan that doesn't quite look natural. When he is using his powers, his skin darkens further; shoulder length black hair, usually tied back into a ponytail; his eyes appear black on black with no white around them, actually he does not have physical eyeballs, they are shadow itself which shifts and flows but reflects nothing and does not affect his vision (which is why he usually wears sunglasses as this is a giveaway to his mutant heritage); clean shaven; wears a lot of black clothing, particularly favoring a black mantled ankle length coat with a lot of hidden pockets containing tools of his trade and a few "surprises" (not mutant related); black jeans, black shirts, black, soft leather boots with crepe soles

Alignment: Independent

Powers: Shadow Stalker can move from place to place over vast distances, even through a limited amount of time and dimension, very quickly, via shadow through what he calls "shadow rift". He is best at moving into places he knows, but can find anywhere if he has some clue as to where he is going.

Shadow Stalker's control over the shadow rift weakens as he approaches light. In places of medium and greater darkness he can even remain just inside the rift and observe the worlds/dimensions on both sides without being detected by any technological means or regular senses, even enhanced ones while within the rift nor assaulted with physical means from the "real" world. Psychic detection may be possible and he remains vulnerable to attack from the denizens of the shadow world while just inside the rift (see below). Shadow Stalker cannot interact physically with the "real world" while within the rift, even if he can see and hear and smell, etc. what is going on there. In other words, he cannot attack someone or steal something while remaining within the shadow rift. He has to leave the rift and there is a brief window of time, a few seconds, while he makes the transition that he is vulnerable to attack from both sides of the rift. And the dangers from the shadow world can make the dangers from the "world of light" seem tame.

There are "things" which lurk in shadow that he must avoid if possible, fight if absolutely necessary. For this reason, he has become a deadly hand to hand fighter trained in various martial arts. His vision is excellent; he can see much further into either end of the spectrum than any normal human which is why the sunglasses he wears do not hinder his vision. His vision, not based upon physical eyeballs, is unaffected by sudden changes in light or darkness, either. He can transport things and people with him, but there is a limit to size and number.

He can also reach through shadow to retrieve things and people, but must be able to visualize who or what he is after. An additional danger exists from the monsters of the shadow world when he does this for he weakens the interface and can be attacked or even possibly allow some of these creatures into the "real world".

Within shadow or areas of progressive darkness, his strength and invulnerability increase, save when up against some of those shadow "things" which are equally or even more powerful. (These "things" are the demons and monsters of legend, half remembered by humans from the time when they were less confined to darkness.)

By the by, these shadow beasties do not necessarily show up when there is darkness. The reside in the "shadow rift" through which Shadow Stalker travels when travelling from shadow to shadow. There are some who actually are able to break through into the "real" world which is unfortunate as they tend to have a talent for violent chaos and a taste for human and mutant flesh. On the other hand, they are fortunately rather stupid and the rare breakthroughs are more by accident than on purpose. Unlike Shadow Stalker, they don't necessarily become much weaker and more vulnerable as they move into light though intense light can cause them pain. Just thought I would add these thoughts in case additional complications to the plot might be desired. *G*

Shadow Stalker is a thief by trade, but has little interest in acquiring much wealth beyond enough to meet his needs for the lifestyle to which he wishes to become accustomed. His alignment is listed as independent, i.e., he looks out for himself. Depending upon his mood (which includes a sometimes malicious delight in practical jokes) and what he sees as his best advantage, he might work with the good guys or the bad guys. His rather loose morality has its own form of honor. Generally, once bought he stays bought. However, he is not above lying to someone about just who it is that has bought his services at the time. This, combined with a certain arrogance, means he is not fully trusted by anyone. He even sometimes works for free, albeit reluctantly. He is bi-sexual and rather enjoys kink. He has a definite weakness for a pretty face and body of either gender depending upon his mood at the time.

Light is his greatest vulnerability, the stronger the light the less his powers. In a shadowless place, he would be as vulnerable as any human save for his fit but very human physique and fighting skills which are not a part of his mutation. He cannot use his own shadow to escape or "pull" anything. He has no shadow of his own, another giveaway to his mutant heritage.

History: His parents were both mutants, father-Night Hunter who could also move through darkness and grow stronger/more invulnerable with darkness and mother-Shadow Weaver who could "form" shadows into illusions. They both died under circumstances of which even he does not know all the details. They died when he was very young. He has lived and moved among the denizens of the international mutant underground most of his life. While he isn't completely sure as to why, his parents' murder left him with ambivalent feelings towards humans and a particular contempt bordering on hatred of human authority. While not a big fan of the X-Men due to their "human defense" philosophy, he can work with them. Or against them, again depending upon where he sees the best advantage to himself.

Ambitions: To enjoy himself to the fullest; he is an unabashed hedonist. To discover the truth behind his parents' death and make those who caused their deaths suffer and die, preferably as horribly as possible. To find ever greater challenges to his powers and intelligence, for he does get off on the adrenalin rush. To successfully break into and steal something (unless he has a commission at the time or knows of something really valuable he doesn't much care what it is) from the X-Men mansion.

Dakota Fenyx
(Would love to join, let me know if the character would work, need to be changed or toned down..Hopefully she is weak enough to start.)

Gender: Female
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 140
Age: 19
Appearance: Light brown hair that falls to the middle of her back. One blue eye and one brown eye.


Powers: Dakota has the ability to pause time. She cannot do it at will as of yet, it will only happen when she is startled. Example- walking through a hall and someone jumps out at her, her startle reflex pauses time freezing all around her, say within 10’ allowing her to avoid the situation. The power affects her and anyone touching her physically (but she doesn’t know this yet either). The ability has just manifested itself in the last few years and she has not quite mastered it, hence the reason of no control.

Weakness: The power is only temporary; it never lasts longer than a few seconds to a few minutes at most.

Click to expand...

why don't you make it so she can only stay tranceformed for a short amount of time and transforming exhausts her energy.

Weakness

Livewires obvious weakness is water, get her near it, she shorts out and she gets tired if she uses her power too much.

Does Pulse need a weakness (Besides his hatred for killing and limited fighting skill)? He doesn't seem like a very powerful character to me. If he does, I'll add one.

Yea I was thinking the same about Epona. She really isn't that powerful. Her main skill is the changing and martial arts. Other than that, she's not all that strong, doesn't use weaps of any kind, and she's independent.

I guess I could have it where if she is in one form for more than 30 min, her eyes are the first thing to give her away. The longer she stays in the form less control she has over it. Or something like that.

Other than that she's not all that massive with her powers, her martial art skills are her only real power.

/shrug hope this works hehe.

change

if you thought Feral was to strong before check her out now. I gave her some flaws and made her have less powers. hope it will satisfy all of you

I appreciate the willingness to work on this folks! Gimme a few more days and I'll get the actual thread rolling........Oh and if anyone has any questions or ideas on the thread message me alright?

Personality: Everybody's favorite stereotypical southern good ole' boy. He's got a knack for making people feel at ease, but he does tend to be sarcastic. He is also known for his "southern charm," which makes him highly chivilrous, but also makes him a touch chovanistic. All in all, he's everybody's friend and is always ready to jump in front of lasers.

Background: Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and raised as an orphan. Benoit never knew his mother, and he became a ward of the state when his father was arrested for armed robbery when he was 4. He started learning Silat from the Athletics Director of the local YMCA when he was 6. Moved to New Orleans with the first of several foster families when he was 9. Untill he moved to the Xavier Institute at 14, he lived an under-privileged life in the streets of the french quarter. He discovered his powers when he was 13 when he was shot in the chest with a laser pistol during a drive by in the New Orleans slums. With the energy he absorbed from the gun, he released a blast that destroyed the car. Unfortunately, his foster family disowned him, and he took to the streets instead of going back to an orphanage. A year later he was picked up by Gambit when the X-man faced his ex-fiance, Bella Donna Boudreaux.

Raven

Name: Vincent Stormcrow
Age: unknown
Sex: Male
Appearance: Straight long black hair. Sapphire eyes. Copper skin. Well toned build. Wears a cloak of black feathers and black leather armor studded with blue diamonds. His bracers are made of black grenadilla wood and studded with sapphires. He typically wears caribou skin pants and moccasins.


Powers: Able to transform into a giant raven, or take a hybrid form. He is invulnerable to the elements, and has hightened speed, strength and agility as well as all the five senses, especially sight. Raven also seems to be able to see events before they happen, so he can make best use of the situation. . Illdilyntra’s magics sustain him, so he needs no food or sleep and does not age. He is also a shaman, with emphasis on illusion and transmutation magic and possesses all the powers granted by nature.

Weaknesses: Stormcrow is akin to jugernaught in that his weakness is in his mind, but Raven can’t shield himself or he looses the ability to mentally cast his spells.

History: Raven is the holder of the gem of Illdilyntra, one of the eight mystical entities from other dimensions. He is an Exemplar and exists only to fight the other seven Exemplars and take control of the world for his Mistress. Stormcrow’s predesesor was revered as a god by the Haida, an Indian tribe in Alaska. He has a reputation for being a trickster, but it is just a testament to his cunning.

Name: Coyote
Age: unknown
Race: Outsider
Sex: female
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 118
Appearance: Straight long black hair. emerald eyes. Copper skin. Well toned build. Wears buckskin leather top cut to expose her toned midriff with a short skirt of the same material. Knee high buckskin boots. Black bear fur cloak and coyote headdress.

Powers: Coyote is an uncanny tracker, able to find anything given the proper time. She is deeply connected to nature, and can command all manner of living organisms. She is also able to use the natural world to fuel her regeneration. Coyote also has access to the spirit planes, as she is a resident of the ethereal plane herself. She can possess the living, and beings which were possessed are rendered unconscious after she has passed. The possessed remember nothing of their time under coyote’s control. Coyote may also shift form into that of her namesake at will, as well as take a hybrid form or that of an old man.

Weaknesses: Coyote is highly susceptible to energy attacks and anything unnatural. Energy weapons deal blows that she can only heal on her native plane of existence, and thus she is rendered incapacitated and phases out if enough damage is suffered. If “killed” in the prime material plane, she phases back to the ethereal plane to heal. She can only be truly killed on her home plane of existence.

History: Coyote is revered among many of the western mountain tribes of North America. She signifies loyalty and wit, and is known for her fiery attitude, although she is a bit of a trickster. Like all spirits, she can be banished back to her realm, but enough shamans feed her power to make the banishing quite a task. She is fiercely loyal to her people, but she is one of the least seen of the spirit deities, preferring to help from the shadows rather than be unveiled in the light. Many a shaman has beheld a beautiful Indian maiden in one vision or other. More common is the old man form. Although Coyote and Raven have been at odds in the past, when united in a common cause they are formidable.

Panic

Name: Brandon Michael Ford
Alias: Panic
Age: 29
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 193
Appearance: Broad shouldered and heavily muscled. Hard yet handsome features. Always wears a black trench to conceal two silver Smith & Wesson plasma pistols kept in a dual belt holster behind his back.

Abilities: Panic is able to release adrenaline in others whenever his skin makes contact with theirs. Due to the supplementary nature of his powers, he also has extensive training as a marksman, and can shoot the short hairs off a fly at thirty feet with both pistols simultaneously. His reaction time is extremely fast, and this may have to do with his powers, but Ford is only aware of his ability to induce a reaction in others.

Personality: Asshole doesn’t quite give the man credit. Bastard doesn’t come close. Although these are the words most likely to be used to describe the highly self motivated and extremely self interested man. He’s never done a damn thing for anybody without some sort of payment, and even though he doesn’t have a fair share of friends, he is extremely successful. When he does have to deal with others to make a profit, Ford is quick witted and a natural leader, always in control of the team. He carefully selects his teammates, but if you screw up once, you’ll be lucky if you get the chance to make a mistake again.

Brandon Ford is the leader of a freelance mercenary unit comprised of fairly young humans and beta and lower power level mutants currently employed by the U.S. government under the C.I.A. codenamed “Whiplash.” He spent his younger twenties in the Navy SEALS, from which he “died” in the bombing of a NATO destroyer off the coast of Egypt. Since being blacklisted, Ford simply goes by Panic.

changes to Shadow Stalker

I've made a few changes to my character in the original post, taken away one of his powers (illusion), more fully explained his remaining powers and expanded upon his weaknesses and personality. I've also added some ambitions of his, including the desire to successfully break into and steal something from the X-Men mansion. This doesn't necessarily mean he is opposed to helping them, depending upon the story. By the same token, he could just as easily side with the bad guys. Just depends on what appears to be most profitable (or enjoyable) to him at the time.

Geez, what an arrogant, amoral wretch. *ROFL*

Am I too late?

Name: Simon Magus
Alias: Deacon
Hair: Light blonde (spiked up)
Eyes: Crystal blue
Affiliation: Neutral
Age: 19

Powers: Can manipulate time, only for a short amount of time though. Gets exhausted if using his power too much. His control is limited can only slow or speed up a target by 2 (double speed or halve it), but he can increase his own speed by much more however ANYONE who touches him gets the same increase. He can also carry extremely heavy items but when he punches he is only as storng as a normal human, to offset his offensive weakness he carries a giant cross that is actually a machine gun (like from Trigun).

Background: He was dropped off at a church as a baby, it was them who gave him his name. As a result of his upbringing in the church he hates to kill, but will if it would save the life of another who he things is more deserving (kind of a god complex). This attitude is whatcauses him to be neutral and side with the side is thinks will cause the fewest casualities.
