[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Viktor Johnathan was born and raised in a small orphanage in Latveria. According the woman who left him there, The monarch himself was the boys father. Sadly the mother disappeard near instantly, and Doom himself was vacant for some time. As such, the boy was fostered and all but forgotten about. On his ninth birthday, he broke into the orphanages computers and accessed his files. Attempts to contact his reputed father were rebuffed, and the youth turned to other methods of gaining the mans attention. Utilizing his own impressive intellect, Viktor meticulously trained and planned for a daring raid on a DoomTech Inc facility. Inside he was able to use his savy tech skills, training, and inventions to penetrate most of the defenses. Genetic sampling got him through the last countermeasures, proof provident of his true heritage. Once inside, young Viktor reallocated resources and finances towards reclaiming eighty-three acres of Latverian soil ceded to neighboring countries years prior, effectively bringing Latverian families back together again! Doom, being who he is, was of course quite quick to respond. Young Viktor got his moment in the spot-light, and confronted his father. The veracity of his claim, and that of his brith documentation was proven in short order. For a few years, Doom allowed his offspring to move into the Castle proper... but the relationship was a strained one, and it soon became clear that proximity to his father only fueled the boy's knack for causing trouble. Diplomatic Immunity was pulled far too often for Doom's liking, and he didn't have the time or patience to take an active hand in molding the boy into an appropriate heir. It was clear he had the bare essentials~ A passion for Latverian Patriotism, a Cunning Mind, Gifted Intellect, and of course the Doom heredity. What he lacked... Real World experience. He lacked perceptions beyond that which Doom himself held. If the boy did not grow beyond the Shadow of Doom, then he would be destined to make the same mistakes and suffer the same drawbacks. He must become his own man, for only then could he truly become the Heir Latveria deserved... The Heir Doom craved. To that end, Doom put out the call. A requested fosterage of his heir. Concessions were made, promises given. Doom risked much in allowing his offspring to fall under such an influencing hand, but to his mind he stood to gain much more. Without a say in the matter, Viktor was shipped off to America in short order. Viktor left behind his Doom Suit, much to the surprise of his father. If he was to become his own man, then he could not rely upon the safeguards of his Fathers genius. He must make his own, and make his own he has. It is a far cry from the advanced technology he's used to, or even the suit he envisions it will one day become, but it is his own. Built with his own two hands, and by his skill alone; All said and done, it's still a work of art given the constraints of Time, Money, and Facilities. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Viktor Johnathan (Von Doom) ALIASES: 'Scion', Viktor Johnathan, Viktor Von Doom, Bastard Son of Doom, Heir Apparent to the Throne of Latveria SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Blue HEIGHT: 5'11" WEIGHT: 140 LBS AGE: 15 =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 19W XXR=================== INT 06 (08W) PA INT 04 (01w) STR 02 (02R) PA STR 04 (01w) AGI 02 (02R) PA AGI 04 (01w) SPD 02 (02R) PA SPD 04 (01w) DUR 02 (02W) PA DUR 04 (03w) =================== VITALS =================== HEALTH: 02/02 PA HEALTH 04/04 ENERGY: 12/12 PA ENERGY 12/12 RECHARGE: 06 PA RECHARGE 08 =================== ACTIONS Total: 10W XXR=================== BLACK OPS 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Security Systems *Infiltration/Exfiltration *Espionage COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Free INT or Weapon Bonus *Advanced Hand to Hand *Silent Take Downs *Power Armor Combat COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Free INT or Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship *Called Shots *Advanced Firearms/Energy Weapons GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Free INT Bonus *Academia *Advanced Technology TECHNOLOGICAL GENIUS 01 ( 04W) *As Technology AND Invention *FREE INT BONUS *Base Cost AN+05 SOCIAL SKILLS 02 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Intimidation *Latverian Culture *Polyglot +01 PA FLIGHT 06 ( INVENTION) *Base Cost AN-01 PA PHASE-CLOAK CIRCUITRY 03 ( INVENTION) *As Invisibilty/Phasing *Base Cost AN+01 *Efficient +01 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 11W XXR=================== SUPREME ANTICIPATION ( 06W) *As Prescience TRUST FUND V ( 01W) *As Wealth *Base Cost 03W *Monitored and Controlled by Doom -02 PA COLLAPSABLE ( 01W) PA CYBERNETIC SENSES II ( 04W) *Base Cost MN+04 PA LIFE SUPPORT ( 02W) PA VIBRANIUM EXOSKELETON I ( 02W) *Bought With Wealth Stones *As Toughness *Base Cost MN+01 *No AP+01 *No x2 +01 PA DOOMTECH SUBROUTINES ( INVENTION) *Based on Rapid Recovery *Base Cost DN+01 *Recovers 04R per 02W =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XXR=================== CRIMINAL RECORD [INTERNATIONAL] ( 02) In a daring act of Corporate Espionage, Young Viktor announced himself to his father (and subsequently the world at large) at the tender age of eleven. His Robin-Hood inspired antics proved beneficial to Latveria in the end, earning him a begrudged public pardon by Von Doom. Pardoned or not upon Latverian soil, the exploit proved more than sufficient to implicate his involvement in numerous other such actions throughout Europe the following year. Warrants have since been issued for him in said countries, though as of yet insufficient proof has ever appeared to warrant extradition.MISTRUSTED BY PEERS ( 02) The Academy may have decided to humor Doom's request to foster the troubled youth, but that doesn't mean any of the faculty or students are inclined trust him.SHADOW OF DOOM ( 02) The suspicious paranoia of others aside, Young Viktor himself lives under the constant reminder of whom his father is. His achievements are belittled, paled in comparison to those of his progenitor or merely attributed to his inherited intellect; Or worse, perhaps, that they are conveyed directly from Doom to the boy via some mystical or as yet undiscovered technological manner... That, perhaps he is a fraud, charlatan, and puppet.CONFLICTED INTERESTS ( 02) True as his desire is to make a name for himself, and be his own man... Viktor DOES feel a fierce loyalty to Latveria, and his Duty as Heir Apparent.PRYING RELATIVES ( 01) Distance and distracted as his Father may be, Von Doom is ever vigilant and keeps an eye on his bastard son.ADDICTION [TECHNOLOGY] ( 01) Quite literally obsessed with the latest and greatest tech 'toys'... even if it means making his own, which it often does.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: XX W XX R===================[/quote]

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Long thought vanquished by the Avengers, the living cybernetic program known as Machinesmith has long lingered in the darkest corners of cyberspace, locked away in a rotational algorithm prison created by rival Victor Von Doom for his failed attempt at usurping control of Latveria. Tormented to the edge of insanity, Starr has finally escaped. Eight brutal years of technological advancement has left him somewhat behind the times... which means he'll need to find somewhere to hide. He needs time to acclimate to the "current" world, to re-establish his level of robotics mastery before he can again make any overt moves on his own. And, where better to hide than in an antiquated and empty model of the synthoid once known as Vision? =================== CHARACTER NAME: VISION ALIASES: Machinesmith, Samuel "Starr" Saxon, Starr, Dr. Saxon SPECIES: Living Cybernetic Program GENDER: HAIR: EYES: HEIGHT: WEIGHT: =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT (UNTIL I FIND BETTER) =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 09W XXR =================== AI 06 (02w) STR 06 (02w) AGI 04 (01w) SPD 04 (01w) DUR 04 (03w) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH 06/06 ENERGY 18/18 REGENERATION 06 =================== ACTIONS Total: 21W XXR =================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 04 (01W) *Base Cost AN-1 *STR Bonus or Weapon Bonus *Brawling *Advanced Tech Melee Weapons *Avengers Multi-Style *Adaptive Techniques COMBAT [RANGED] 04 (01W) *Base Cost AN-1 *Marksmanship *Energy Weapons *Thrown Weapons * Advanced Tech Ranged Weapons GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 03 (02w) Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Advanced Engenieering [Robotics/Cybernetics] *Academia *Avengers Data Archives MANIPULATE DENSITY 04 (06W) *Base Cost AN+05 *Corrupted Circuitry (Cannot improve via LoE until Repaired) -02 FLIGHT 06 (03W) *Base Cost AN-1 INVENTING 01 (03W) *Base Cost AN+04 *INT Bonus SOCIAL SKILLS 03 (01w) *Base Cost AN *Streetwise *Hacker Culture *Intimidation TECHNOLOGY 01 (04W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Auto-Transference +04 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 20W XXR =================== HARD LIGHT BEAM 06 (06W) *Base Cost MN-1 *AP +02 *Accumulate +02 *1/2 AN if away from Sunlight too long -02 CYBERNETIC SENSES IV (04W) *Base Cost MN+02 PRESCIENCE [LIMITED: Manipulate Density] (04W) *Base Cost 04W SELF REPAIR (03W) *Base Cost DN+01 TOUGHNESS I (02W) *Base Cost MN+01 *No AP +01 *No x2 +01 TRANSLATOR (01w) *Base Cost 01W =================== EQUIPMENT Total: XXW XXR =================== =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XXR =================== DARK SECRET 03 The hero known as Ghost, masquerading as a revitalized antiquated model of The Vision is in fact the villainous living-cybernetic program known as Machinesmith!

Oversized eyes of impossible color, pointed ears, skin pale as marble, add up to an inexplicable and unearthly beauty. Any damage from Cold Iron weapons inflicts x2. Whisper is a Noble in the Unseelie Court, which can entail obligations back home or on Earth as the GM so desires As a Sidhe, Whisper has inherited a great many enemies both in Faerie and on Earth, merely by existing. As eldest son to the Lord of the Outer-Reaches (The borderlands between Faerie and Earth), he is expected to one day return home and ascend to the position of rulership in the event something ever befall his Father. Lastly, life expectancy for Sidhe is effectively millennia, if nor immortal.PSYCHOLOGICAL [PREDATOR/PREY] 02 Like all Sidhe, Whisper has an undeniable urge to cat-and-mouse hunt worthy prey, something he is always in search of... Having found ripe hunting grounds on Earth (a land long since abandoned by his people in favor of greater hunting in Deep Faerie), Whisper has found a new grounds for honing and testing his skills.PSYCHOLOGICAL [CtSUftUD] 03 Whisper views humanity as lost children, children is people once tended as flock... That the primitive creatures have grown into a worthy species, if child-like still in such development, has instilled in him a near paternal instince. He finds a satisfaction in hunting the enemies of Humanity that stretches beyond the Thrill of the Hunt... He feels 'good' about saving humans.DEADLY ENEMIES 01 Aside from the courtly intrigues of Faerie, left behind in his home dimension, Whisper has amassed a small list of enemies of his own... friends and family of the monsters he's successfully hunted and slain during his short time on Earth.[/quote]

H 04/04 E 09/09 R6 ==================== Logan[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:AMMENDED BACKSTORY. James 'Logan' Howlett doesn't know much about himself. What teenager does though? True, Logan has more excuses than most. He was found adrift on Lake Ontario, just off the shore of Fort Niagra State Park. His clothing was water-logged and tattered; His condition hypothermic, and apparently amnesic. A US Military Dependents ID was found on his person, but legit as it looked no matches could be found in any DoD database. At best guess, The Medical professionals deemed him to be of eleven or twelve years old. The only life Logan knows, is growing up in the New York State Foster Care Service. Bouncing from one Agency Home to another, before the first adoption at age 13. The records show that the pairing was deemed a 'Bad Fit', and that Logan's propensity for acting out had resulted in his remedial custodianship by the State of New York. Those records cite that the young Logan claimed abuse, but no evidence would ever be found to sufficiently prove it. It's not like the abusive father was going to admit that his inflicted bruises had healed within moments, or the arm he'd broken had mended within hours. The shock, and insult to his manhood, had caused him to overlook the convenience of a continued abusive relationship that he could never be prosecuted for. The beatings got worse; Baseball bats, chairs, broomsticks. When the old man gave himself a heart-attack and died (not surprisingly while beating the puss out of Logan), Logan was finally freed and taken back into Foster Care... the System none the wiser for the life they were rescuing him from, and labeling him ungrateful for. In the face of such hardships, young orphans tend to develop a 'Hard Edge' to their persona's. Logan, was no exception. Detentions, Suspensions, Expulsions. They fell off of him as rain from the sky. He was a Rebel without a Cause, a kid who realized that consequences just weren't his thing. By age 16, Logan was an iconic burn-out in the making according to his teachers. The local police had there suspicions of DUI's, but could never land anything except Underage Driving and Wreckless Endangerment. The Foster System was on the verge of washing their hands of the youth, when Charles Xavier found him. His charasmatic charm had somehow won the stubborn boy over, convinced him to agree to one more shot at a new Institute before Emancipating himself. In hindsight, Logan suspects that Charles may have used psychic coercion (Now that he knows what the guy is capable of). Not that it matters though. Logan has discovered he was not alone, or not as alone as he'd thought he was. At Xavier's he became part of something, part of something that's not quite Family... but something that proved worth actually sticking around for. It's wasn't the Dream. Logan understood the Dream, and he understands why Charles is fighting to make it a reality. It was just that, Logan felt the Dream was pure fantasy. He'd seen Real Life. Real Human Nature. He knows that Nightmare for what it is. Life isn't Charles' dream. Life is pain. Fighting is something Logan's good at though, and for awhile he to tried to Fight that Nightmare by supporting the Dream. At this new... Institution, Logan claimed to not be from anywhere. He claimed no family of note, and in fact met any probing questions with silence. A silence laced with menace and anger. Theories were abundant, but Logan confirmed none of them. What little of his life he CAN remember is stuff he'd much rather forget... Where as the stuff he's forgotten he wishes he could remember, and can but hope that his life was actually worth something to someone at some point in his past. In spite of his best efforts, Logan's time at Xavier's wasn't all that bad (something he's begrudgingly admitted to Orroro, his closest friend at Xavier's, on more than one occasion). They were successful in helping quite a few people in their time, and he even started to consider some of them friends... Not all of them of course. There was, after all, his quite public rivalry with Scott. Such rivalry is an inescapable truth, when two men love the same woman after all. This 'golden-age' of sorts came to an end when Logan's past came crashing down around him. First his quasi-brother showed up, then he and Orroro were kidnapped by Weapon X... with coinciding agenda's of bringing Logan back underfoot and turning that catalytic-leverage into a weapon herself. With Storm's powers fully unleashed, the two became a near unstoppable force for the Program. Eventually turned back upon Xavier's, only Jean proved powerful enough to stop and save the duo... at a mighty cost to herself (The Pheonix Force), a cost that neither Scott or Logan have been able to forgive Logan for inspiring. Less than a month after the incident, Logan was gone. His good-byes were minimal. A note for Storm, a note for Jean, and a note for the Professor. Scott found four flat tires on his jeep, courtesy of Logan's adamantium claws. Forge and Angel were left the cuff-links they'd designed for him on the Minneapolis mission... any notions of trailing him via the transmission beacon curtailed. Sabertooth was the only one Logan actually spoke to, and it was to him he charged looking after the others as best he could. Especially 'Ro, who was now on Weapon X's radar just like the two of them. From there, Logan wandered... =================== CHARACTER NAME: James 'Logan' Howlett ALIASES: Logan SPECIES: Mutant GENDER: M HAIR: Black EYES: Brown AGE: 17 HEIGHT: 5'3" WEIGHT: 150 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 05 W 01 R=================== INT 02 (02R) STR 02 (02R) AGI 03 (01W) SPD 03 (01W) DUR 04 (02W) =================== VITALS Total: 05 W XX R=================== HEALTH: 04 (DN) ENERGY: 09 (01 W) RECHARGE: 06 (04 W) =================== ACTIONS Total: 05W 02 R=================== BLACK OPS 03 (01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Weapon X Background -01 *Assassination *Infiltration/Exfiltration *Covert Ops COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 (02W) *Base Cost AN *Agi Bonus *Efficient +01 *Berserker Rages *Intuitive Fighter *One Against Many COMBAT [RANGED] 02 (02R) *Base Cost AN *Agi Bonus *Archery *Thrown Object HUNTING/TRACKING 03 (01W) *Base Cost AN SOCIAL SKILLS 03 (01w) *Base Cost AN *Orphan Culture *Intimidation *Instigation =================== MODIFIERS Total: 24W XX R=================== ADAMANTIUM SKELETON (03W) *Base Cost AN ANIMAL SENSES 03 (01W) *Base Cost MN CLAWS III (06W) *Base Cost MN+04 *Retractable (FREE) HEALING FACTOR [ENHANCED] (09W) *DN+05 *Heals 01W Per Panel *Weapon X Bacground -01 TOUGHNESS 01 (03W) *Base Cost MN+03 *No x2 from Fire Arms +01 REFLEXIVE DODGE 01 (02W) *Base Cost MN+03 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XX R=================== ADDICTION [SMOKING] ( 01) Logan is a habitual smoker. The momentary rush of nicotine is fast enough, and short-lived enough that it's not countered by his Healing Factor (like any of the other heavier drugs he's tried have thus far proven)COMPULSION TO STICK UP FOR THE UNDERDOG ( 03) Despite his own hangups and issues, Logan has on more than one occasion stuck his neck out for others in similar or worse situations than him within the Foster Care system... Taking blame and shouldering responsibility, or even just getting down right physical if the opportunity arose.HAUNTED PAST ( 02W) Logan has discovered the murky hints of a life better left forgotten... Or lifetimes, perhaps. While memories of even his most recent time with Weapon X have been blurred, fragments surface of occasion... As does Weapon X's continuing interest in their wayward asset. Worst of all, is the guilt Logan feels for those who have been, and will be, caught in the wake of such incidents (the most recent of such, having hurt 'Ro and Jean cut the deepest)MUTANT ( --) Logan doesn't know much about himself, but he knows he's more than human... and more than Mutant, courtesy of revelations three years past regarding augmentations courtesy of the Weapon X Program.PSYCHOLOGICAL [SELF DESTRUCTIVE] ( 03) A common issue with Orphans is a low sense of Self-Worth. Logan's is lower than most, a direct result of the traumatic verbal and physical abuse from his first adoptive father. It is his lack of self worth that has inspired his self-destrictive tendencies~ Drinking and Driving, The Hardest Drugs he could find, Picking Fights with anyone and everyone... He's been kicked out of three schools, and self-sabotaged more than one adoption interview.PSYCHOLOGICAL [AUTHORITY ISSUES] ( 01) It should come as no surprise that Logan has some serious issues with authoritarian figures.[/quote] ==================== When he first arrived at the Mansion, Logan didn't know how to tie a tie, let alone wear the associated accoutrements. Leave it to early companions Warren and Forge to help him learn how to fake it with the best of them... a lesson he tried his damndest to adhere to, and almost managed to succeed. "Fake It"
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all The one you sold to fool the world You lost your self-esteem along the way Yeah
[Chorus:] Good god you're coming up with reasons Good god you're dragging it out Good god it's the changing of the seasons I feel so raped So follow me down And just fake it if you're out of direction Fake it if you don't belong here Fake it if you feel like affection Woah you're such a rutting hypocrite
And you should know that the lies won't hide your flaws No sense in hiding all of yours You gave up on your dreams along the way Yeah
[Chorus]
Whoah Whoah
I can fake with the best of anyone I can fake with the best of em all I can fake with the best of anyone I can fake it all
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all The one you sold to fool the world You lost your self-esteem along the way Yeah
[Chorus]
Fake it if you're out of direction Fake it if you don't belong here Fake it if you feel like infection Woah you're such a rutting hypocrite================================ For the first time in his life, at least that part of his life he could remember, Logan had REAL friends. Friends that for the most part were even trusting him, treating him like one of the team... part of the family. Too good to last. Lifetimes forgotten, resurgent. Weapon X. His best friend held hostage as leverage, then mind-wiped into submission... Himself soon to follow... His own beastial spirit revealed... CLAWS. Unable to help himself, let alone Orroro who'd followed him to NYC just so that he wouldn't spend the trip alone. He'd let her down... the first person he'd ever met that truly trusted him to look out for her in her weakest of moments. And she wasn't alone. Logan and Orroro, brain-controlled or not, would spear-head the assault on Xavier's School... "Let You Down"
Trust me There’s no need to fear Everyone’s here Waiting for you to finally be one of us
Come down... You may be full of fear But you’ll be safe here When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
I will let you down I’ll let you down, I’ll When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
Trust me I’ll be there when you need me You’ll be safe here When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
I will let you down I’ll let you down, I’ll When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
I will let you down I’ll let you down, I’ll When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
Never want to come down Never want to come down Never want to come down
(Down, let you down)
I will let you down I’ll let you down, I’ll When you finally trust me Finally believe in me
I will let you down I’ll let you down, I’ll When you finally trust me Finally believe in me================================ In wake of their failed assault on the Mansion, and subsequent release from Weapon X's control, Logan sat down for a talk with the Professor. The walls of blame were closing in on him, both from without and from within. Tensions with his teammates were at an all time high, even Orroro was ill at ease around him... nevermind that look of pain in Jean's eyes when she'd freed them both that was haunting his dreams. With unresolved feelings, Logan went for a walk in the woods to clear his head... the following song came across his ipod, and he knew what he had to do. "Runaway"
Graffiti decorations Under a sky of dust A constant wave of tension On top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me I learn were never true Now I find myself in question (They point the finger at me again) Guilty by association (You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension Has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action These words were never true Now I find myself in question (They point the finger at me again) Guilty by association (You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
i'm gonna run away and never say goodbye (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away) i'm gonna run away and never wonder why (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away) i'm gonna run away and open up my mind (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind============================= Logan's last day at Xavier's, he spoke with only one person. He asked his best friend, Orroro to deliver some goodbye notes for him. Not being an overly wordy kind of guy, he went with song lyrics for most of them. In his year there he'd barely ever had more than a sentence or two at best for Jean outside the confines of his head. No doubt, this song came as a surprise... "The Way I Feel"
Lately I've been wandering Off the narrow path You’ve given me so many things that I've never had And all in all I know it's you that always pulls me through If you reach deep inside you’ll see my heart is true
‘Cause I hate the way I feel tonight And I know I need you in my life Yes I hate the way I feel inside And I promise to make the sacrifice
The world I know is pulling me More and more each day I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray Spiteful eyes are watching me With everything I do In the midst of darkness Lord My spirit calls for you
(You know sometimes deep inside) I feel like this
'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight And I know I need you in my life Yes I hate the way I feel inside And I promise to make the sacrifice
'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight And I know I need you in my life Yes I hate the way I feel inside And I promise to make the sacrifice
The Way I Feel Yeaah
The Way I Feeeel================================== For two solid years, Weapon X operatives hounded Logan through every corner of the Earth to which he fled. He always managed to stay two steps ahead though... until Ireland. There they managed to finally corner him. But they didn't attack him, not this time. This time, they approached him with offers. Offers of bringing him in, of lending him a voice in their organization. Free Will this time... a chance to help them meet their mission objectives in a better manner. On the verge of agreeing, Logan caught wind of a scent. The man who'd been in the lab the day they'd broken their word and taken Orroro from him.. that same man trying to sneak up on him at that very moment. This time they didn't have his best friend hostage, no bargaining chip to hold back his primal rage. Nothing to keep him in check. This time, he was free to act on those animal impulses buried deep inside of him. Logan did things... bad things... under his own will and volition, he took lives. There was no blaming Weapon X this time. He'd chosen, and hadn't stopped with the retrieval team. He tracked them, he took the hunt to them. Back to Canada, deep into the wilds. He tracked them, and he made them pay. His soul hardening with every kill, until there were no more to find. At least no scents to trail, or clues in which direction he could pursue. He loitered in the wilds for awhile, building a cabin near a logging community and even taking a job. Then he saw the breaking news. Genosha. He felt drawn, but had no idea why. It wasn't the good kind of draw. It was that darkness within him. There was something bad there. Something that needed the kind of answers he had been bred to provide. He couldn't say no. Not anymore. Someone or something there needed to die. "Animal I Have Become"
I can't escape this hell So many times i've tried But i'm still caged inside Somebody get me through this nightmare I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal (This animal, this animal)
I can't escape myself (I can't escape myself) So many times i've lied (So many times i've lied) But there's still rage inside Somebody get me through this nightmare I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare I can't control myself Somebody wake me from this nightmare I can't escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal (This animal I have become)

In the current timeline, he rapidly aged (in a matter of days) to the age he was in his home reality/time. As such, his cultural references and mentality are a little 'off' at times.DEADLY ENEMIES ( 03W) In addition to enemies inherited via his new association with the X-Men, Nathan is a recognized enemy of The Apocalypse (whose agents somehow learned of Nathan, and failed to kidnap him within hours of his re-birth). Also, he tried to kill Logan. That didn't go over well... despite explanations afterwards.DISLIKED/MISTRUSTED BY 'FATHER' ( 02W) Scott doesn't entirely trust Nathan, his story, or anything about him. He remains aloof, distant, and holds Nathan to a higher standard than anyone else.GYPSY SOULED ( 02W) Having been raised in the fashion he was, Nate has never lived in any one place for more than a week at a time... Settling down at Xaviers is, uncomfortable to the young man. He finds himself unwilling to unpack his bags (always ready to be on the run if needs be), and he tends to switch bedrooms every few days. Nate never takes the same route to class two days in a row, and endeavors NOT to form any predictable habits/haunts.DARWIN-MINDED ( 01W) Despite heroic intentions, Nathan originally grew up in a time where Only The Strong Survived. As such, his empathy for the weak (or those unwilling to even TRY to help themselves) is often in need of encouragement.STRYFE ( 01W) Seemingly dormant, and not yet detected, there is an imprint of Stryfe hiding within Nathan's psyche.

Considered cute, above average in wit and academics, and comfortable on the social scene allowed him to share in the popularity enjoyed by his sister (if in circles of his own). While friends were many, none were ever so close as his sister. Such is the bond of twin siblings though. Unlike his sister, Lester has vague memories of their prodigal mother... and holds a small grudge that she'd abandoned them all in favor of some other life. Lester remembers the glistening tears of his father glowing softly in the light of her reverse lights as she pulled out of their driveway that last time. From that moment his heart hardened some. To him, their father let them down by allowing the mother to leave, and was as such just as guilty. For Lester, from that moment forth... The only other person he trusted and would allow himself to depend upon was his sister. When Lester rushed outside in response to his sisters scream, he paused only for a heartbeat to assess the scene. Their father dead in the street did nothing for him. Not even a shred of grief. Everything was instantly drowned out by his sisters anguish. It was to her he rushed, and her he comforted until help arrived. His sisters catatonia weighed heavily upon him, and when the system stepped in and separated them... something else broke inside of him. All faith in a greater good melted away. He became one of ' those' orphans. The orphan who rebelled, the sort who turned on the system proclaiming it's desire to help him. Habitual 'Bad Fits' and academic suspensions/expulsions followed. Bad habits developed, and Lester embraced rif-raf crowds in favor of the preppy ones he'd once called friends. Without his sister, those days were nothing but painful memories. Nightmares of the day they'd taken her away haunted his nights... vivid daydreams about her own life, and how horrible it must surely be began to insinuate themselves into his thoughts throughout the day. Then it happened. His own latent mutagenic potential erupted, and time itself cascaded around him in a cacauphony of overlaid-vision. Through it all, one thing rang constant. His sister was in trouble, and if he didn't use his new abilities to find and save her... they were both destined to be suffer horrible fates. Three cons later he had the money. Next came the break-in, and with his abilities as a guide he snuck them out... remaining three steps ahead of authorities the whole way! =================== CHARACTER NAME: Lester Jacobs ALIASES: Omen SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Black HEIGHT: 5'9" WEIGHT: 125 LBS AGE: 16 =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 04W 01R=================== INT 04 (02W) STR 02 (02R) AGI 02 (02R) SPD 03 (01W) =================== VITALS Total: 05W XXR=================== HEALTH 03/03 (01W) ENERGY 09/09 (01W) REGENERATION 05 (03W) =================== ACTIONS Total: 10W 01R=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 01 (01W) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus *x2 Damage +02 *Prescient Combat COMBAT [RANGED] 01 (01R) *Base Cost AN *Prescient Targeting GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 (01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Free INT Bonus *Academia *Potential Outcomes [Derrived from Educated Guesswork, Nightmares, and Visions] FORESIGHT 02 (01W) *As Concentration *Base Cose AN+03 *Free INT Bonus *Acquire General Information about the future from the GM *Mental Block [Cannot Improve VIA LoE] -02 PROBABILITY MANIPULATION 03 (06W) *As Hex Spheres *Base Cost AN+03 *Accumulate Energy +02 *Automatic Collateral Damage -01 SOCIAL SKILLS 3 (01W) *Base Cost AN *Natural Born Liar *Con Artistry *Streetwise =================== MODIFIERS Total: 05W 01R=================== PRECOGNITIVE FLASHES (01R) *Base Cost 01R PRESCIENT REFLEXES III (04W) *As Reflexive Dodge *Base Cost MN+03 PRESCIENT SENSES III (01W) *As Enhanced Vision [Probabilities] *Base Cost Options X MN =================== EQUIPMENT Total: XXW XXR=================== iPhone *JailBroken *Has an illegal App that cycles all minutes/data charges to nearby phones Deck of 'Lucky' Cards 'Lucky' Silver Dollar =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XXR=================== Compulsory Challenges:[/i] MUTANT 03 Lester is a Mutant...POWER OUT OF CONTROL 02 Effecting Prophecy and Probability Manipulation Only Harmful: A mutant's power is actually physically damaging, resulting in severe nose-bleeds, nausea, and other impairments.

His desire to help is often impeded by the disbelief of others, or the unwillingness to accept the measures which Omen suggest must be taken to avert such odds...PSCHOLOGICAL [CHRONIC NIGHTMARES] 01 A side effect of Prescient Sense and Precognitive Flashes, Omen is plagued with chornic nightmares of potential futures and/or alternate/divergent timelines which may or may not have been averted or created due to his own actions. He's never had a 'peaceful' nights rest since his powers first manifested, and they frequently result in Night Terrors, States of Deja-Vu Inspired Fear/Paranoia, Confusion, etcPSYCHOLOGICAL [TO DEFY FATE] 03 Much like a compulsion to stick up for the underdog, Omen is driven to defy the supposed Edicts of Fate... Odds he has on occasion been able to thwart. This has at times driven him to means decidedly extreme, or beyond the scope of Right (and the Law)... Actions which have estranged him to the more peace-minded reactionists among Xavier's camp. Conversely, this has served to attract the Brotherhood to him, his proactive nature to seek to create change at any cost is right up their alley...[/quote]

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Earth is no stranger to Paranoia, it's metahuman population is no exception. Rare is the person, organization, or entity that doesn't have a list of What-If scenarios. Contingent Planning is a keystone of survival in these uncertain times (and has ever been). Such plans can snd do range from vague ideas, to literal terabytes worth of information databases detailing out any number of Response Actions for triggering events. One of the most dangerously concise databases of such contingency plans was created by one Professor Charles Xavier: The Xavier Protocols. First disovered by SHIELD in the after-action incident reports from the Onslaught Crisis, Later exploited by enemies during Operation Zero Tolerance, most firmly believe that the databases are long since destroyed and forgotten. Director Fury of SHIELD is not the sort of man to let such a valueable tool slip through his fingers. Stolen from the ashes of Bastion's attempted genocide, Fury locked the files away deep within HQ (completely isolated and secure to his opinnion)... Little did he realize that the Xavier Potocols is in fact an AI... One that continues to correlate metahuman data from around the globe via advanced alient technology and constantly creates new Protocols (each using whatever mystery algorithm Xavier programmed for its access encryption) Recently, two Janitors stumbled onto the vault during a power outtage (resultant of a HYDRA hacking attempt). Having never even noticed the small room before, they ventured in to explore. The system spun up, utilizing the two janitors to unlock Xavier Protocol Seven-Oh-Seven-Omega. Displayed on the 3D Holofield was a plan, a plan detailing methodology for SHIELD to not only bait and capture the Phoenix Force... but to control it. Such a plan was described as an End-Game-Maneuver at best. Harnessing such an impredictably volatile entity was leagues beyond anything Fury would ever personally have considered, even in the event of total defeat. The decision wasn't left for him, as the Janitor's accidentally confirmed execution of the Protocol... Citing a world without Heroes, a world without SHIELD, a world so populated by enemies that a pair of simple janitors had accessed the terminal. A Remote Cloning Facility in the Austrailian outback came to life, a relic from the days of Ms Pryor's residency alongside the exiled X-men. Within 24 hours a fully developed clone was produced, created from the collective DNA of Quentin Quire and Charles Xavier. Bred from the worlds most potent Telepaths, this Omega Level Mutant-Clone was the perfect bait. Clad immediately in a psionic inhibitor suit, already tempered by pre-incubational mental conditioning by Professor Xavier. When his eyes first open, they're blue... It doesn't last. The iconic screech of the Phoenix is heard, and the eyes flare with psychokinetic flame. To say Fury was... furious with the janitors would be an understatement. SHIELD dispatched a joint response team, complimented by a handful of X-Men. Luckily, it turned out to be overkill; They found the clone, lounging in the lab and watching TV. After some discussion, and a fair amount of argument (influenced in no small amount by interactions with his progenitors at Xavier's)... The clone chose to accept the Avengers invitation. For the first time in history, the SHIELD had thier own Phoenix on the roster! Or, so they hope... Right now, they cannot even convince him to use the assigned call-sign of Phoenix. =================== CHARACTER NAME: The Omega ALIASES: Phoenix, Quentin, Quire, Quintavius Francis Charles Quire, Charles SPECIES: Mutant [Clone] GENDER: Male HAIR: Red EYES: Blue HEIGHT: 5'8" WEIGHT: 129 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 11W XXR=================== INT 06 (04W) STR 03 (01W) AGI 03 (01W) SPD 03 (01W) DUR 04 (04W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH 04/04 ENERGY 12/12 REGENERATION 06 =================== ACTIONS Total: 47W XXR=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 01 (01R) *Base Cost AN *STR Bonus or Weapon Bonus *SHIELD Training COMBAT [RANGED] 02 (02R) *Base Cost AN *Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship *Advanced Marksmanship FLIGHT 06 (FREE) *Free via Phoenix Force at original purchase AN, increase via LoE *01R = 0-200MPH *02R=201MPH-Mach 2 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 (01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Academia *SHIELD Indoctrination Programming SOCIAL SKILLS 04 (02W) *Base Cost AN *Deceit *Instigation *Intimidation *Streetwise TELEPATHY 03 (03W) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus +02 *ProjectThoughts/ControlOthers/Illusions +02 *Mental Block [Cannot Improve VIA LoE until Removed] -02 *Read Minds: If Resistance is overcome, 1R to read surface thoughts, 1R to remain undetected, 1R for deep thoughts *Range 4 *Free Mental Defense at AN PHOENIX FORCE 06 (40W) *Base Cost AN+13 *Power Out Of Control w/o Inhibitor Suit -02 *Mental Block [AN can never be more than Telepathy AN x2] -02 *2xAN free red stones per panel *Become an enormous Phoenix *Force Blast x2 Damage, AP *Immune to Energy *Manipulate Time/Matter/Energy *Self Contained Life Form *Limited Teleport, Time Travel (GM Discretion) *Flight at AN, gets its own box (AN increased independently via LoE) =================== MODIFIERS Total: 02W XXR=================== MENTAL DEFENSE III (FREE) *Free via Telepathy AN RAPID RECOVERY (02W) *Base Cost DN *Recover 03R per 02W =================== EQUIPMENT Total: XXW XXR=================== PHOENIX INHIBITOR SUIT (FREE) *Self-Repairing Unstable Molecules *Armor Value: 1 =================== CHALLENGES Total: XXW XXR=================== MUTANT03 Clone or not, Quentins DNA is clearly laced with the X-Factor of two of the worlds most potent Omega-class telepaths.PSYCHOLOGICAL [Conflicting Interests] 04 Born of two great DNA's, Omega has inherited the strongest personality traits. From the original Quentin Quire, a rebellious and antagonistic nature. From Xavier, unbreakable conviction and a desire to better the world... Add into the mix SHIELD's training and Conditioning, and a smidgeon of teen-angst? A veritable culdron of components all struggling for dominance. Through it all, one thing does thankfully sing true: A desire to stick ip for the underdogs, to fight injustice, and to champion the innocent.INHERITED ROGUES GALLERY 03 With a face that could pass for Quentin, or even a young Xavier, is it any wonder the clone wouldn't have to work hard to dredge up dangerous enemies with axes to grind? Factor in those who hunt Phoenix, and enemies of SHIELD and The Avengers... It's a good thing Omega has no shortage of self-confidence.[/quote]

From their relationship was born: Andrew Thomas Marko. Raised primarily by his mother until recent years, Andrew was afforded an education and familial support network that Cain was deprived of early on. Despite their best efforts, it became quickly apparent that Andrew truly was his fathers son in every imagineable way. These similarities came to a head recently. As recompense for The Serpents theft of his Scion, Cyttorak was able to exploit fine print in agreements older than time itself to instill a second avatar upon The Earth. It came with stipulations of course, all of which might be met and satisfied by a direct descendent of Cain.. Andrew fit the bill perfectly. And so it was, Andrew awoke one morning. A Crimson Gem of Cyttorak embedded into his chest... root-like glowing red veins stretching forth and into the farthest extremeties of his body. Andrew had become a new Juggernaut. Similar to his father, but different. Unimpressed by his fathers pitch on possibly enrolling at Xaviers, or with Excalibur... heck even The Avengers, Andrew opted instead to ply his new abilities towards personal gain. Drunk on his own power and awesomeness, Andrew seeks only to increase his power (monetary and mystical).. and the easiest means of doing so to present itself has been Mercenary work~ =================== CHARACTER NAME: Ballistix ALIASES: Andrew Thomas Marko, Juggernaut, Rew.

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:For untold millenia the cycle has persisted. Shao-Lou, an Immortal and Benevolent Wyrm, has ever been the virtuous patron of the K'un-L'un. Once in a every ten cycles (roughly 100 Earth Years), when The Nine Worlds Align, Shao-Lou holds a grande tournament. From this tournament a champion shall be chosen, whom in turn is granted the honor to challenge Shao-Lou to a duel... If victorious, the mortal is granted The Rite of athe Iron Fists and allowed access to The Soulforge (An enchanted forge built around the molten heart torn from Shao-Lou's chest before man came to roam the Earth). The resiltant warrior, mystically augmented and known as Iron Fist shall serve as a Champion of K'un-L'un until such time as death takes them. To date this cycle has continued unbroken. K'un-L'un presently has two such Champions in the shape of Daniel Rand and his estranged (and recently resurfaced) grandfather, Orson. What wasn't known until last week, was that when Daniel sank his fists into The Molten Heart of Shao-Lou something happened. Shao-Lou saw a dark future, one in which his current Iron Fists would not prove sufficient to safeguard K'un-L'un. Shao-Lou forsees the return of his once nemesis, the same virulent Dragon-Lord responsible for removing his molten heart; The same brother-in-law that had trapped Shao-Lou in these caverns for all of time... Chaintang would soon be reborn. As with any living creature, Shao-Lou has but seven Primary Chakra's. To the Dragon King was lent the fealty of the Ajna. To his bride... her life preserved by his Sahasrara. The city of K'un-L'un, blessed and guided by his Vishuddha. All in K'un-L'un know that Shao-Lou's Anahata, his Heart, fuels the Champions... The Iron Fists. That left three. None of which were ideal in the least with which to entwine to a humans soul, each bore significant risks... eclipsed only by the choice to not act. The Manipura would instill a hunger so great, not mortal could ever hope to restrain themselves. Swadhisthana would overwhelm even the most stalwart and chaste monks inhibitions, drowning them in inhuman ecstacies. That left Muladhara; The Root Chakra. The promeal seat of Shao-Lou's essence. In the end, there could be no indecision... With the looming threat of Chaintang, Shao-Lou could not afford to not go all in. Young Joseph was three when his mother brought him to the ancestral homeland. As with most children in K'un-L'un, Jospeh was raised from then forwards in The Old Ways . On par with his peers, it was only his struggle to control a flash-fire temper (presumedly inherited from his irish father) that held him back from excelling. No number of mantras, or hours of meditation drills could seem to cleanse this temperment... and as he entered into his teens it only grew worse. The rudiments of medetative focus and concentration continued to elude him. Finally, on his seventeenth birthday the cause was made manifest. Young Amsel awoke with a branded tattoo upon his chest. The mark of Shou-Lao, the very same scar marking proven Iron Fists... Similar, but different. The Masters and Mystics gathered, discussing and theorizing this newest and unpresedented of portents. Even an outsider, known only as The Ancient One, was consulted. It was he who recognized what was happening. The boys Chi, his very soul, had been bound to that of Shao-Lou somehow... And his soul was struggling to find a balance, to regain control. It was the outsider, The Ancient One, whom was at long last able to teach Joseph true control. Finally, the youth could transcend not only his current distress, but he could rise above and truly focus the totality of his mind to any task. With the Ancient One as his guide, Josephi attained Balance. In exchange for this gift, The Ancient One was granted three requests. First, and foremost, the youth's training would cease in K'un-L'un. He must venture forth and into the world, to find heroes of the modern era that might expand his horizons. Joseph must accept his responsibilities are beyond merely K'un-L'un; Beyond Asia; Beyond even all of Earth; He was not to be Champion of K'un-'Lun alone, but a Champion of Creation. Second, he must ever strive to actively champion the good, to serve the down trodden, and act on behalf of those innocents in need. Third, that the youth must be made to understand his own debt... One he might one day be called to make good upon should The Ancient One ever have need. And so, true to his word and debt, Joseph has returned to Earth...

A voice ever trying to guide and manipulate his host towards ends it's own (GM Fiat)PSYCHOLOGICAL [CtSUftUD] (03W) As the Youxia he emulates, this wandering knight-errant is a champion of the downtrodden, a servant of the people, and force of good.LIFE-DEBT (03W) Joseph and Shou-Lao might both have perished were it not for the timely intervention of The Ancient One. Without his guidance, Joseph would surely have been washed from existance. Shou-Lao's Root Chakra might have suffered irrepairable damage, if not actually bleeding the Immortal dry of his divine spark. Time will yet tell if, even with this newest Champion, K'un-L'un will survive... Both know that had he not, there would have been no chance at all. While it has not yet been revealed what shape this debt shall play, many of the Mystics in K'un-Lun suspect that The Ancient One Intends to apprentice Joseph.DEADLY ENEMIES (02) As a Scion of Shou-Lao, and Champion of K'un-L'un, Joseph has inherited a plethora of deadly enemies who would slay him on sight merely for such affiliations. That his attire and fighting style mark him as a successor of, if not relative to, The Iron Fist (an established Hero in North America before his return to K'un-L'un) has earned still more enemies. By Registering with the SHRA and willingly enlisted at this Initiative camp he'll no doubt begin making enemies all his own soon enough.[/quote]
