Background: Johnny is a native of New York, and has already attended the Institute for a year. After the fiasco last year where Kid Omega killed Sophia Cuckoo, one of the Stepford Cuckoo's, Johnny's parents found out and basically outcast him, ashamed to have a "mutant freak" in their family. Until that point, they thought he had been attending a normal boarding school.

Johnny's powers first manifested at home. It was all little things that his parents didn't notice. He'd wake up in the morning, and his pillow would be absorbed into his head. He'd be eating, and suddenly his fork and his hand would be one in the same. He hid it from them, as they constantly verbalized their distaste in mutants whenever shown on the news, of which they were avid watchers of. After a few weeks of random absorbing, Johnny somewhat taught himself how to control it. A month later he was visited by Scott Summers and Emma Frost. They pulled him aside, as they knew how much his parents detested mutants, and offered him the chance at Xavier's. He gladly accepted it.

Items: A small LG flip phone, a 2gig MP3 player, a lighter, a small notebook and pen full of notes and drawings or animals and plantlife, a switchblade, and a messenger bag full of Drawing materials, a sketchbook, and usually an anatomy textbook and a Biology textbook. (And my messengerbag can hold all that, done it before.) She also has a cannon digital camera with interchangeable lenses on a strap around her neck.

Background: Born in Africa with her British mother and Father, when they found her swimming in the pond in their backyard looking for all the world like a mermaid at the age of 10, her parents were overjoyed. They took her to a local tribe and told the chief that she was a mutant. The chief accepted her and her parents left her with the tribe. The Witch Doctor of the villiage called her a spirit child and promptly renamed her Adeola.

As she grew older the Witch Doctor began to teach her the ways of nature. As he lay dying on her 16th birthday he proclaimed to her that she should go to America and Seek out Xavier's school.

After he died, she gathered what little belongings she had and made her way to America, and to the School. Her parents paid for everything and send her a thousand Dollars every month, which she uses to buy more science books. Once in America she began to study Organic Chemistry and she bought all Of the textbooks that she carries around.
This is her first term at Xavier's.
(Oh, and she's totally bisexual whee )

Costume: Her uniform consists of a Blue T-shirt with a vivid electric Yellow equals sign on it (Brownie points if you get the Symbolism), a pair of Black Bondage pants with Green Stitching and chains hanging from them.

Name: Phedre Akayev (people call her Phe)

Alias: Flux

Age: 16

Physical: Phe is 5’5” with a slender, athletic build. She has finely crafted features and thick, wavy, shoulder length black hair that, combined with her deeply tanned skin tone and slightly almond shaped, emerald green eyes, give her a vaguely exotic appearance.

POWERS
*Mutant DNA Manipulation- When Phe touches another mutant she can manipulate their Mutant DNA to either boost their power or completely shut it down. The length of the effect varies depending on the strength of the mutant and the amount of time Phe is able to maintain contact.


Str: 7

Int: 4
Dur:7
Aim: 2
E.P.: 1
F.S.: 9

Skills: Martial Arts, Academics, Literature, Art, Seduction

Items: A messenger bag containing a sketch pad, charcoal sketching pencils, 1-2 fantasy novels (which ones they are continually change as she finishes one and moves on to the next), A small, well worn, paperback containing the poems of Emily Dickinson, her cell phone, and her wallet with ID and other various walletey items.

Background: Unlike many of her peers, Phe’s parents not only accepted her mutant powers, but actively encouraged her to develop them. This may have something to do with the fact that they themselves are mutants. Her mother is a low level telekinetic and her father can manipulate water.

When Phe was 6, she and her father were playing “water tag” around the pond behind their house. He had formed a large ball of water that was chasing her around the field. She ducked behind a tree, laughing and slowly snuck up on her father. He had sent the ball of water high over his head as he looked around, trying to spot her. Laughing, she ran from behind a nearby tree and tackled her father’s leg. “Tag! You’re it!” Her father laughed and sent the ball of water flying at little Phe. His eyes widened in surprise as the ball of water suddenly faltered and fell apart, dousing both of them. After that day, Phe’s father and mother encouraged her to practice her powers every day and sent her off to Xavier’s school once it became clear that they had taught her everything they could.

Because of the loving and accepting atmosphere that Phe grew up in, she has a hard time understanding the prejudice against mutants that runs rampant through the world and an even harder time understanding those mutants that hate themselves almost as much as humans do.

Costume: A burgundy lace and satin corset top. black stretch pants with silver buttons up the side to the knee , Black sneakers A silver and gold middle eastern pendant given to her as a gift from her father. Silver X shaped dangly earings.

E.P.: 9

Skills:
Art (traditional Indian as well as her own style), Academics, Languages (Hindi, Sanskrit, English), Yoga (Kundalini), Computers

Items:
Backpack with sketchbook and art supplies, iPod, mirror from a makeup compact, tattered copy of The Ramayana, cell phone with GPS

Background:
Kaya was born in a small village in India, in the Outcast caste, which is considered the lowest of the low. She grew up very poor, but studied hard in her village's school. She had very few friends, only a couple other Outcast children who lived nearby. Her father was a labourer and her mother a housekeeper for a relatively wealthy family, so their earnings were meagre. What money they could spare went to her older brother, who, by means of a scholarship, was studying medicine in New Delhi, in hopes of eventually practicing in America. She found art to be an escape and an outlet for the anger and hatred that was building just by having to live as if she were beneath everyone else, and she learned how to draw in traditional forms as well as use her imagination and create other things. All in all, she was a normal child starting out, it wasn't until she was 13 that something happened that would bring out her powers.

That day began the same as any other: she walked to school at daybreak, kissing her parents goodbye, ignoring the constant taunts from people as she passed them, and eventually making it to school, sitting in her customary place at the back of the class. As she was making her way back home at the end of the day, she noticed a groups of people rushing past her going in the same direction, toward her house. Puzzled, she began running as well, until she saw the thick column of black smoke rising from what remained of her house. In front of it a crowd had gathered, watching the house burn as well as an even more horrid scene. Her mother was hysterical, running between the house and a group of about 3 or 4 men, all surrounding a man on the ground, beating and kicking him. Kaya ran closer and discovered it was her father, curled up on the ground, knees to chest, with his arms flung up uselessly over his face. His clothes were torn and bloody, and the beating was so brutal he could only make a hoarse barking sound with every blow.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was like the very gates of Hell had opened up and swallowed everything she knew. No one helped, no one even cried "Stop." Every now and then she'd overhear a "damn Outcasts, it's what they deserve," and "we told them to leave, it was for their own good - they don't belong here." Kaya saw her mother run up to one of the attackers and grab his arm, but he backhanded her across the face and sent her sprawling on the ground, weeping and screaming.

It was too much. She felt this pressure in her heart building, this strange energy surging through her body. Suddenly, it was as if a veil passed over Kaya - all sound was gone, and she saw everything through a haze. She raised her hands and began floating in mid-air, she felt as strong as one of the gods. Everything slowed down around her; she flew towards the men who were now beating her father in slow motion. She looked at her right hand, and a small ball of energy formed, spinning over the centre of her palm. She unleashed it at the nearest man, who flew back at least a hundred feet, unconscious, arms and legs twisted in impossible ways. She did the same for each, one after another, until all the attackers had been disposed of. Then, as quickly as the power came, it disappeared, and she blacked out and fell to the ground.

After this incident, she found she could produce the energy balls at will, without completely transforming. She learned kundalini yoga which helped her become more aware of her energy and its potential and how to control it. Her father survived the beating, but was bedridden for many months. Even when he completely healed, he was unable to do the heavy labour he used to. She and her family moved in with her mother's sister, who lived in another town. She heard what happened and helped them collect what little they had left and leave the village. Things took a better turn for Kaya and her family, who realised just how special she was. They didn't understand that she was a mutant, they thought she was the embodiment of a goddess and, although they were still as kind as always, they treated her with a certain reverence and awe. In the meantime, her brother had made it to America, and found a very successful position as a genetics specialist at a prestigious research institute. He sent for Kaya and their parents to join him, and after learning of her gifts, got her enrolled in Xavier's Institute, and this is her first term.

Costume:
Red halter top and black leather pants, black knee high 4-inch heel boots, traditional red sash she either wears around her waist or across the front and over one shoulder, an amethyst pendant on a gold chain around her neck, a small gold X on her forehead, in place of the traditional jewel.
