Mutants United: Rebellion

Name: Subject 07-T, Kirra Taylor (So original)

Nickname: Reverb

Age: 18

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Red (I'm a mutant, i do what i want!)

Height: 5'8" (173 cm)

Weight: 55 kg (121 lbs)

Appearance: Kirra's dark hair flows down to her shoulder blades, the same location in which her glowing blue birthmark, an unusual pattern, can be found. She has slender frame, wrapped in pale skin, with heavy scarring on her torso. She usually wears long grey denim jeans, a white tee-shirt and a black hooded jacket over the top. She also wears a silver locket around her neck, although it is locked and she does not have the key nor know its contents.

Power: Energy Conversion - Absorption
This ability allows the user to absorb energy around them, then convert in a way that better suits them. This means they can absorb energy, usually in the form of Heat or Kinetic. They can then redirect it, allowing it to be used as a dangerous weapon.
For example, if someone punched you, you could absorb the energy, making the blow hit no harder than a feathered pillow, than redirect the force and break their rib-cage.
The only problem with this is the user has to consciously absorb the energy, meaning if you don't know it's their, you can't absorb it. If someone shot a bullet at you, unless realize their is a bullet, you cannot stop it.

Like a battery, the energy does build up, although the built up energy cannot be released in bursts and must all come out at once. This can be problematic in many ways, say if you absorbed the energy of a nuclear explosion, its all going to be wasted on one little thing. Another problem is how you release the energy. In the same situation as before, if you absorb the energy of an explosion then release it as an explosion, the effect will be devastating to you and everything around you. The reflexes of the human are not fast enough to absorb the energy when it's released either, so you could not pull of a stunt like that then expect to absorb it and survive.

Backstory:
Not much was known about Kirra during her early life. She lived with her parents somewhere in the United States, living a normal life. This all changed when she was six years old. Her house was caught in a blazing fire, and her parents perished within. The only reminder she had was her mothers locket, which she had been trying to open at the time of the incident.
Kirra was found in the brutal aftermath of the fire hiding in a scorched cupboard. After a short while in a hospital, she was taken to an orphanage. The orphanage was a cold place, were those with terrible lives were picked on by the stronger kids with worse lives, where the staff couldn't care less what happened to its occupants as long as they got paid. Kirra, as one of the younger children, was a common victim.

One day, something strange happened. One of the boys who had become quite accustomed to taking out his anger on her. So one day when he pasted her in the hallway, he threw a punch at her. A thought rushed through Kirra's head. A realization. She didn't want to be this kids personal stress reducer, she didn't want to get hurt. And that's when it first happened.
The odd birthmark on her back started glowing as the fist travelled towards her. The boys fist barely tapped her, she barely felt a thing. Then he doubled over in pain, coughing up blood, his arm dangling limp at his side. Shortly after Kirra blacked out.

When Kirra awoke, she was no longer in the orphanage anymore. She wasn't quite sure where she was. She was lying on a bed, in a white room surrounded by people in white lab coats. In truth, she was in a facility belonging to a branch of the military. They studied young individuals from all over the country, all very special individuals. Why? Because they were what people now know as mutants. Humans who, in one way or another, had gained seemingly supernatural abilities. If you dug a little deeper, it could be seen that by certain key relatives, they were all related to a French scientist from the eighteen hundreds. Year after year, day after day, Kirra was surrounded by scientists. Testing and examining, teaching and training. While some were just tested on, by scientists trying to understand the mutant genome, most were taught how to use their abilities, how to weaponize them. They were being trained to be soldiers, that much was clear.

Kirra spent nearly ten years in one of these facilities, more than half her life. She, like many other mutants, were given an education, military grade self-defense training, and the promise of a better future. Most of the mutants could see through the blatant lie, as they were still examined each day, still being trained as weapons. Kirra, like many of her mutant brothers and sister, only wanted freedom and a normal life. And on one fateful day in the year 2015, they finally got it.

Kirra had been walking from the lab to her room, as always escorted by a guard, on the day of the breakout. They all new it would happen, so many mutants yearning for freedom, a riot of some kind was inevitable.
First the alarms in the facility went of, then the guards panicked as mutants tried to escape. Kirra and a handful of other mutants made it to the ground floor of the facility, but could not manage to reach the main entrance. Instead they did the next best thing. One of the guards, in hope of disrupting or possibly killing the group, through a live explosive at them. Kirra managed to redirect the energy of the explosion towards the nearby wall, creating a gap large enough to escape. Many mutants died or were recaptured in an attempt to escape, but nearly two thousand managed to get out.

Today, they live among the general population. Some disguise their abilities and try to live a normal life, while other present themselves openly to the world. Some fight as vigilantes and local police, putting their training to good use, while others went to university and studied, desperately trying to make a name for themselves besides "Mutant". Some failed, some succeeded, it wasn't really Kirra's place to worry about it. Now, at the age of 18, she works as a simple office worker in a small business, hiding herself and her origin for herself. But she could feel something in the air, something familiar.
She could feel a rebellion coming. And she was ready to fight alongside her people if the need arose.

(Kinda started losing the original idea the further i got to the end, but for now i'm satisfied. May look at it again in the morning and decide to change something.)

Backstory's done. How's that look? I can make him a full-time member of the resistance if you'd prefer that.

Story update and post order is up, will work on IC in a bit.

Well he can jump in when we start

(Military character, yes, but she'll be defecting to the rebel side pretty quickly)

Name: Natalia Chevchenko

Nickname: Blacksmith

Age: 22

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Hair color: Blonde

Eye color: Blue

Height: 5'3

Weight: 50 kg

Appearance:





Natalia is considered by many to be quite good looking. She has relatively short hair, and while she usually has her hair tied up in a sort of pony-tail/bun (More of a pony-tail, but her hair to short to form a proper one), even when she lets it down it's shoulder-length at best. She's rather slender, however still strong. Her skin isn't exactly pale, but it isn't really tanned either.

Natalia wears a navy blue 'army uniform' (Buttoned coat sorta thing with a collar), which ends with a skirt, white dress shirt underneath, fit with a tie, and stockings. She wears formal high-heels most of the time, but when going onto a combat mission, switches them out for black dress shoes. They're not exactly running shoes, but as Natalia deals with CQC these days, it isn't much of a problem. In addition, depending on the mission, she will switch to long navy blue pants.

Power: Telumkinesis. Telumkinesis is, basically, the ability to summon weapons. In this case, Natalia can turn pretty much any substance, such as dirt, into any weapon she can imagine. This could be anything from a knife, to a sword, to an RPG, to a light-machine gun. This ability does have limitations, however. First of all, only two weapons can be summoned at once. This means that if you have two weapons, and make another, whichever was summoned first will disappear.

In addition, when it comes to firearms, they only have 1 'set' of bullets. This means a pistol would have one clip, a shotgun would have enough shells to fill it, an RPG would have one rocket, etc. It is possible to create more ammo from a substance, but it counts as making another weapon, so you can only use one firearm if you wish to create more ammo. Creating another weapon after making more ammo would make the ammo disappear.

For a few seconds after the weapon is made, it appears as solid dirt, not having much use unless it's a blunt weapon. Afterwards, however, the dirt falls to the floor, and the weapon is revealed, as if the dirt had only been masking the weapon.

In addition, she does not magically know how to use the weapons she summons, so she cannot use a weapon she is unfamiliar with. That said, she does know how to use most things she summons at least basically. She has put a fair bit of training into things such as knives and swords, and can handle most guns, but anything other from that she can't handle. This includes things such as hammers, bows, etc.

Backstory:

Natalia was born in Kiev, Ukraine, to a Ukrainian mother and American father. She lived out her childhood relatively normally, going through school, making friends, having her first relationship, etc. Once she turned 18, however, something rather strange happened. While she was helping her mother tend her garden, her thoughts turned towards her career path. She wouldn't mind joining the military, and before she knew it, she was holding a pistol. Understandably, she was shocked, and left it in the garden. She ran to tell her parents about the situation, and once she did, her father sat her down.

He explained that he was a 'mutant', and that Natalia most likely was as well. He explained everything that he knew about mutants, and that he had worked for the US military in the past. He managed to escape to Ukraine, which is why he lived there in the first place. He offered Natalia two things. Her first option is that she could stay in Ukraine, and pretend she hadn't made the pistol or been told or this. The second option was that they could move to America, having previously discussed this with Natalia's mother, and go from there. What Natalia wanted to do with her powers was her choice, however staying Ukraine wasn't going to get her anyway as far as her powers went.

Natalia chose the second option, opting to join the US military. Her Father was not pleased, but supported her regardless, hoping she would enjoy her time there more than he did. She came to the military fully open with the fact that she was a mutant, leading them to give her special training and accept her instantly. By the time she was 19, Natalia fully trained and had learnt how to use her skill properly. By the time he was 20, she was leading her own squad, doing whatever was needed. She had missions to capture other mutants, and missions to simply fight in battles.

Once Natalia turned 21, she took on a slightly different role. She received a special uniform, elite squad and new missions. She specialised in capturing mutants, and if need be, killing them. For the most part, the squad just there to support her, as she could easily make things such as taser weapons to subdue her targets. Her uniform was rather simple, and only existed to help her stand out in her squad. She didn't wear armour, as most mutants would stick to their powers. If she did run into firearms, her squad would do most of the fighting for her. Her uniform was basically a white dress shirt, black tie, navy blue 'army uniform' (I.E Buttoned coat sorta thing with collar), which ended with a skirt. She also wore stockings, but it was her choice.

At times, Natalia would question what she was doing. Most of the mutants she captured were completely innocent, only being captioned just because they were mutants. She tried not think about it to much, but a wave of doubt did come over her frequently.

When Natalia turned 22, she was appointed on a mission to capture or kill a group of mutants. They were hiding somewhere in Austin, Texas, most likely in a secluded part of the town. She embarked on the mission, and is currently in Austin, gathering information on where the group may be. She doesn't have any equipment other than her uniform, money, and formal high-heels, which she is keeping in one of her squad-members backpacks. As somewhat of a side-note, Natalia's accent is not too thick, but noticeable.

Looks good, accepted
