PrisonersFiona Green 20 // Mutant // New Smyrna Inmate // Brotherhood // New York // Teyana Taylor A once notoriously brutal member of the Brotherhood, Fiona Green grew up on the streets of the Bronx, the daughter of a murderer and a single mother. She joined the Bloods when she was only thirteen and became pregnant with her daughter Silver when she was fifteen. Fiona, though, had a secret - she could alter the composition of her skin to make it rock hard while she appeared perfectly normal. Her fellow gang members used this to their advantage, taking her as a human shield to their fights and shootouts, until the MEU caught up with 18 year old Fiona while she took Silver to her aunt's one day before one of these "missions". Heavy handed, the MEU managed to shoot Silver and kill the toddler, capturing Fiona and throwing her into New Smyrna. Since then she has been a vengeful mess, somewhat crazed by the loss of her daughter, but she has managed to stay alive as a test subject, the cellmate of Vita Kitayama for five months now. She has now been transferred to Project Trinity as a control subject, even though there has also been talk of trying to genetically modify the main subject of Project Trinity with Fiona's DNA, just for kicks.Vita Kitayama 25 // Mutant // Prisoner at New Smyrna // Unaffiliated // New York // Devon Aoki Despite being the baby of the family, Yukiko Kitayama was always forgotten by her parents in favor of her big brother Ryuu. Leaving Mount Holyoke a semester short of a degree in studio art, she instead took to the New York party scene and became quite notorious as a socialite and party girl. Six months ago, however, she was captured by the MEU after a stay in the hospital led to a blood test that turned up her X-Gene, however latent it might have been. Since then, she has been at New Smyrna, a long term experiment trying to draw her powers out, and once they were revealed to be quite powerful, develop them to their fullest. During the breakout she was not able to escape, keeping her locked inside, now handed over to Collette Masters as a control subject for Project Trinity, along with her long term cellmate Fiona Green. Power up to player.Margot Van Buren 75 // Mutant // Prisoner at New Smyrna // Morlocks // New York // Lacey Chabert A special addition to the Project Trinity program, Margot Van Buren looks to be a young woman of twenty six or twenty seven. In reality, thanks to her power - slowed aging - she is close to her 75th birthday. Originally from the tiny town of Red Lake, Minnesota, she was the daughter of Dutch immigrant farmers. She has outlived her husband (died in Vietnam as an officer) and her daughter (in 1959 from leukemia), existing only by constantly changing towns as remaining a myth. When the McAllister Commission heard of her powers, they specifically sought her out and captured her for their project. Her projected lifespan is theoretically around 400 years old, but she does not have the power to heal herself. She has almost died more than once and has the scars to prove it - from a car accident in 1946, shot by a robber in 1978, and then a collapsed lung thanks to the MEU. She has now been at New Smyrna for eight months.Teddy Kilgore 29 // Mutant // Prisoner at New Smyrna // Unaffiliated // New York // Michael Pitt A once homeless immigrant from County Cork, Ireland, Theodore Kilgore worked for three years busking with his guitar on the streets of New York while occasionally taking jobs from unscrupulous types in need of his special powers - super speed. Captured in a normal police raid on a homeless camp on Staten Island, Teddy is a tough talking Irish man with the belief that New Smyrna - despite it's problems - is better than living on the streets. He gets fed, there is a roof, and no need to work for a living other than lay there for tests. He is a diagnosed sufferer of schizophrenia, however, leaving him constantly in a state of agitation and even fear. He is not afraid of death, but instead of being forced back onto the streets. At least the doctors at New Smyrna give him his antipsychotics that he could otherwise not afford. |

Infilzare il Cuore(All are in New York/New Jersey.) Claudio Cuore 63 // Human // Mob Boss // Infilzare il Cuore // Harvey Keitel The head of the Cuore crime family, Claudio is an aging man responsible for a number of interesting developments in recent years. Firstly, he brought into the world three children with his now deceased wife Alessandra – son Marco and daughters Lucia and Maria. More importantly, though, Claudio saw the opportunity that using mutants to his advantage after witnessing Marco’s use of his powers against the police. He is a cold-hearted bastard who uses people to his advantage, especially Marco, bossing him around and keeping him wrapped around his little finger. Claudio knows what he wants and he will stop at nothing to get it, no matter who he has to step on in the process.Marco Cuore 36 // Mutant // Mob Heir // Infilzare il Cuore // Sharlto Copley Always a slightly whiney, shy man, Marco was raised in a sheltered environment by his doting mother and his father that simply wanted to cultivate a good heir. Having lost the only woman he ever loved to his father’s greed, Marco has watched people he loves be slaughtered because it was “good for him”. Still, he harbors the secret of being a mutant, photokinesis, the ability to control light. After using it to scare off the cops in a panic, his father has used him, as well as a whole slew of mutants he has recruited or kidnapped, to create something of an army he hopes will help him take over New York. Despite having seen how evil his father can be, and knowing that what Claudio Cuore does really is wrong, Marco keeps his head down and continues to be a good little servant to the cause. Unbeknown to him, though, Claudio Cuore isn’t even his real father…Lucia Cuore 34 // Human // Capo, Secretary // Infilzare il Cuore // Tina Fey Claudio’s admitted favorite, Lucia is the sneaky, manipulative youngest Cuore child, and the one who would be the best leader going into the future if mob politics allowed for a female boss. The ultimate bitch, she always attempts to undermine Marco and Maria to make herself appear in a more favorable light, and more than has considered having her brother killed to make sure he cannot be boss, forcing her into the role. Lucia is a prized capo, or Lieutenant, in the family, also working as Claudio’s secretary at the family’s auto garage in New Jersey. Claudio constantly tells her to get married to a good Italian and give him real grandchildren, but Lucia is scared to tell him she’s really a lesbian.Maria Cuore 37 // Human // Artist // Infilzare il Cuore // Marion Cotillard The eldest Cuore child, but also the black sheep of the family, Maria Alessandra Cuore left the protective fold of the family for the party scene of late 1980s and early 1990s New York. As a club kid, she was a drug addict and a teenage mother, giving birth to Magdalena when she was only 17, the father unknown. With a child on her hands, Maria cleaned up and turned herself around, living in Jersey City while she raised her daughter and taking up art. Soon she became one of the most heralded sculptors in the United States, and her first one woman show at the Museum of Modern Art opens in February. The only member of her family she’s still close with is Marco, but she is slowly falling back in with the family now that she’s found out her daughter is a mutant.Magdalena Cuore 20 // Mutant // Music Student // Infilzare il Cuore // Karlie Kloss A brilliant young pianist studying at Juilliard, Maggie Cuore was raised in an eclectic home around art and music and without much knowledge of her family’s true business, only ever really knowing Uncle Marco as her grandfather continued to call her a bastard child to her face. Maggie hates her grandfather and hates the idea of what her family represents, but she remains close to her uncle as her powers, being able to warp sound into a destructive force, continue to dominate her life. They are hard to control and more than once have they manifested during moments of high pressure, such as her Sophomore Concert when she burst two sprinkler pipes in the recital hall. She’s living in fear but has promised herself never to fall in with the mob – Marco and Maria have promised to keep her secret, but it’s only a matter of time before Claudio finds out, especially as she falls in love with one of the Infilzare’s captive mutants.Morgan Svoboda 24 // Human // Socialite, Heiress // Infilzare il Cuore // Keira Knightley Morgan would be the first to admit that Claudio is her sugar daddy; she has been his Mistress for two years now, ever since Alessandra Cuore died. The thing is that she doesn’t need the money, since her father is America’s fifth richest man and her mother one of the most famed actresses of the 1980s, Veronica Delaney. Instead, she wants the attention, and she has actually found herself falling in love with the much older man and his dangerous ways. She might not be smart, but she is pretty, and she knows that. Still, she has a secret of her own, given that Infilzare captive Braden Knox is her ex-husband, refusing to tell Claudio as payback to her cheating ex that she’s still in love with.Braden Knox 29 // Mutant // Infilzare Captive Soldier // Infilzare il Cuore // Chris Hemsworth Raised as a trust fund brat in Connecticut, Braden wanted there to be more to his life than polo matches and debutante balls for his three sisters. After attending MIT where he received his degree in Public Health, he attended medical school at Columbia where he was able to meet fellow rich kid Morgan Svoboda, only eighteen to his twenty three. They were married in less than six months, but his career and her party habit drew them apart. The final straw was him cheating, leading to their hasty divorce. Several years later as he completed his internship at Bellevue in epidemiology, Braden was captured by the Infilzare, discovered as a mutant with a very beneficial power to them. He’s been sitting in a makeshift cell in a basement with several other captives since July now, and with threats to hurt his sisters on his shoulders, he cooperates with Claudio’s demands. |

MorlocksPark Eun Ae 19 // Mutant // Runaway // Morlocks // New York // Jeon Ji Hyun The daughter of the Korean ambassador to the United Nations, most might think that Eun Ae would be living a rich, decadent life. Instead, her power manifested when she was 13 and she ran away from her privileged and happy lifestyle for the sewers. She has been running with the Morlocks for years, and since then she has risen to a level of almost a leader. She is a key member of the group, and it doesn't hurt that she has extrasensory ability when it comes to feeling auras, especially unfamiliar ones. However, her power has another aspect which forced her to leave - her eyes, sclera, pupil, and iris all the same, are solid black. She is unmistakable for being different than the norm, but she can see perfectly fine. Eun Ae (nicknamed Gracie since that is the meaning of her name) is smart, fluent in four languages, and creative. She is an expert nowadays at getting out of situations that most would consider sticky.Javier de la Garza 47 // Mutant // Fugitive // Morlocks // New York // Benicio del Toro Javier de la Garza used to be one of the top drug lords in New York. Well, actually, he still is, through a syndicate of lackies who carry on his legacy. However, his mutation - hypertrichosis masking super strength and some degree of invulnerability to physical hits - has finally gotten the best of him after all these years, forcing him into hiding now that the government has him pegged as a mutant. He has joined with the Morlocks as a last resort, and in exchange for paying for food and supplies, they afford him a high level of protection at all times. He isn't a smart man per say, but he is crafting and most certainly conniving. Javier has been known to kill a man by rather sinister methods. However, he is true to his word - honor is his number one moral in life. He has to shave twice a day to keep his unruly hair growth under control.Mae Anne Potter 21 // Mutant // Runaway // Morlocks // New York // Masha Tyelna Mae Anne Potter was a normal, happy girl from Staten Island, bound for a mid-level college one day, with average parents and an average family. Other than being 5'10", she was not a standout. Mae Anne was average in every way. When she hit puberty, though, and her beloved grandfather died in an accident, she found out that she was a mutant in a very inopportune way - her eyes popped out of her head. This might be considered disgusting, and it is, but there is something very odd about Mae Anne's eyes - she can disconnect them from her body for up to fifteen minutes and use them as recorders. Any longer than that and she risks permanent damage. She has only been with the Morlocks for a year now after finding them by accident, but she has already become a very useful member because of her power. Mae Anne is something of a scout for the group, and since the only weird aspect about her is her bulging bug eyes, she can wear glasses and fit in perfectly well in public. She is happy and has an optimistic attitude, refusing to believe that there is any bad in the world in an attempt to keep herself sane. |

X-Men(All are in New York and surrounding areas.) Isaiah Rourke 41 // Mutant // Bodyguard For Hire // X-Men // Sam Trammel A former instructor of physical education at Xavier's, Isaiah Rourke is a tough as nails yet fun loving Irish-American straight from Boston. As smart as he is, Isaiah has a fondness for his rough and tumble career, now protecting celebrity kids in New York City and occasionally abroad if the price is right. A divorcee with no kids of his own, Isaiah nowadays spends his time doing his job and rooting for the Red Sox, playing in a men's softball league during the summers in Central Park. New York is his adopted hometown, but he makes no amends for preferring Boston any day of the week. He's been arrested more than once for bar fights but still sees himself as something as a mentor to the former Institute kids, all the while having a feeling in his gut that the remnants of the X-Men will not last long before falling because of an inept leadership.Violet Donogue 27 // Mutant // Stylist // X-Men // Jayma Mays A perky Canadian fashion stylist and personal shopper at Barneys, Violet never seems to let anything get in her way of leading her life the way she wants to, not even the fact she is a mutant with the ability to play possum in a way - appear convincingly dead for up to three days at a time. Her heart stops and she stops breathing, but her body lives in suspended animation. It helped her escape her violent boyfriend back home in Nova Scotia, and after making it to New York five years ago with twenty dollars in her pocket, she has made quite the name for herself, aligning herself with the X-Men for the protection it affords her since she's otherwise quite defenseless and innocent. Violet is your token innocent girl, a bit naive and prone to relying on others, but her heart of gold shines brighter than any other in the entire city. |

UnaffiliatedBianca Oort 29 // Mutant // Actress // Unaffiliated // New York // Rosamund Pike Real name Ann-Walhilde (Bianca is her stage name), Bianca is the younger, prettier sister of Sebastian. A rather narcissistic young woman, she has an uncontrollable desire for attention and a very high sex drive (just like Seb). Thanks to her power of seduction, a constant hormone emission that makes men and women want to be with her, Bianca has become one of the most popular and highest paid women in Hollywood, even though she has recently moved back to her native New York to work on Broadway. She loves her brother immensely and both have promised to keep their secrets safe with each other, but at the same time she is rather manipulative of him. She has dated almost every well known actor in Hollywood and she has her sight set on others, such as a few well placed officials in government. Bianca has always wanted to marry a politician, after all.Marisol Bonita 27 // Human // Actress // Unaffiliated // New York // Morena Baccarin Born Mary Bentley, Marisol Bonita has carved out a reputation as an up and coming musicals actress on Broadway. However, her rather sordid past is something she would rather keep hidden. Marisol wasn't always the glamorous stage actress she is now, starting out in New York as a prostitute, before her more than adequate servicing of a top Broadway producer gained her a small role in the chorus of his show. Now fighting for the leading lady roles, she has found her nose rather put out of joint by the new girl in town, Bianca Oort. However, despite her professional jealousy, she can't help but be drawn to the woman, in more ways than one...Astrid Hendrix 31 // Mutant // Psychotherapist // Unaffiliated // New York // Maggie Gyllenhaal Astrid Hendrix might only be 31, only three years out of receiving her Ph.D. in psychology from NYU, but she has quickly become known as the top psychotherapist in NYC treating psychiatric disorders, especially psychosis. In secret she is a low-level empath whose powers are focused on being able to slowly cure and even slowly cause psychotic episodes, from schizophrenia to delusions to multiple personalities. Dr. Hendrix's methods of hypnotherapy disguise her powers at work, and in fact it takes several hours and great deals of energy for her to do any major work. For that, her patients are only dealt with for short periods of time. Astrid makes eight figures a year for speaking engagements and appointments and is now writing a book, and has recently received an inquiry from a potential new patient, a doctor by the name of Carson Rodgers...Ivy Mulroney 19 // Mutant // College Student // Unaffiliated // New York // Shenae Grimes Ivy is the sister of fugitive mutant Eric Mulroney. Originally from Bangor, Maine, she is the youngest of the Mulroney children - one son and five daughters. Of course, she has been frequently overlooked, but in a college environment she is beginning to flourish from the one time black sheep of the family into something of a social butterfly. She attends Barnard College (following a family tradition of educational excellence) and is currently a sophomore, but ever since her brother Eric became a fugitive, she has kept in as much contact with him as she could, knowing that she is a mutant herself, although she hasn't told her family, afraid that they will react badly even though they still love and care for Eric. She hasn't even told her beloved big brother. Her powers are currently not defined.Kimmy Thornton-Grant 23 // Human // Graduate Student // Unaffiliated // England // Aubrey Plaza Kimberly "Kimmy" Thornton-Grant might not be a very assuming young lady, except in the event that her father is the Prime Minister of England, Ian Grant. Her mother is an alcoholic, her father never at home (and having an affair), and Kimmy has been left pretty much to her own devices since she was 15, along with her brother Tom. With that in mind, she made perfect grades while studying philosophy at Oxford and is now studying for her Masters in Politics at the London School of Economics, just because it gives her something to do. She is no stranger to Ethan Underwood's bed, but Kimmy does harbor a rather confusing obsession. Kimmy loves the idea of mutants - loving mutants, studying mutants, being a mutant. She knows full and well that Ethan is a mutant and she keeps his secret safe in exchange for more information on mutants just to keep her weird love satiated.Daisy Dunn 46 // Mutant // Professor, London School of Economics // Unaffiliated // England // Michelle Pfeiffer Daisy Dunn, at least at first glance, is little more than a ditzy, blonde MILF. However, her fluffy, almost Barbie-doll exterior hides a sharp mind and a deadly mutation. Daisy can release a paralysing toxin at will through her fingertips, which can render a human being totally immobile within a few seconds. While she has never used her power to kill someone, she has come close by accident, when she was inexperienced in the control of her powers, resulting in her then- boyfriend being hospitalized for a week. She rarely chooses to exercise her mutation, but has been discovered by the Brotherhood and the Alliance, both of whom are trying to woo her to their side, seeing her as a formidable ally. However, despite her attempts to keep her mutation secret, she is afraid that one of her students, Kimmy Thornton-Grant, daughter of the Prime Minister, may have discovered her secret.Isabella Perez-MacDonald 33 // Mutant // Do-Gooder // Unaffiliated // England // Eva Mendes Princess Isabella of Spain, legally Isabella Marisol Maria Acevedo y Perez, has been raised in the lap of luxury since birth, since she is second in line to the throne of Spain since her father was the only child and then only produced four daughters himself. However, she escaped the rigors of royal life for the halls of Cambridge, graduating with her degree in Philosophy and teaching Spanish in a London elementary school for five years, during that time meeting Nathan, a man she thought at the time was just another lawyer, albeit an extremely kind, smart, and even funny lawyer. Once they began to date, it all came out that she was a Princess and he a Baron, but they were engaged and then married nevertheless. Except from Nathan and her close family, she has never revealed she is a mutant - she can turn her entire body into a ghost-like form, and not just for phasing. She has since retired from teaching, dedicating her life to being a do-gooder, an eternal volunteer as she calls herself, all while Nathan lobbies for mutant rights. |

BrotherhoodRyan Vance 36 // Mutant // Terrorist / Hitman // Brotherhood // New York // Aaron Eckhart The former husband of Aurelia Vance, Ryan is a native New Yorker who has spent his life on the streets, with the exception of the brief period he tried to give it all up in the name of love for the girl he had barely met before getting her pregnant. After Aurelia miscarried (actually poisoned by jealous ex-lover Abbey Cross), he found himself divorcing her to keep her safe and returning to the fold. Given the power of extreme sight (he can see to the level of a pinpoint from 500 yards away) and enhanced strength, Ryan Vance is one of the McAllister Commission's most wanted criminals, wanted dead or alive. Ryan is not a man of desire, he is a man of need, and he does what he does because it keeps him alive, not because he likes it. He yearns for his true love Aurelia, but he's vowed to stay away to protect her from himself.Abbey Cross 23 // Mutant // Terrorist/Smuggler // Brotherhood // New York // Shannyn Sossamon Abbey Cross, real name Victoria Ainsley, comes from a loving, normal home in New Jersey. On her eighteenth birthday, though, the desire to rebel got the best of her and she found herself in the arms of the deadly assassin for hire Ryan Vance. She joined the Brotherhood, allied herself with a notorious arms (and occasionally drugs) dealer in the Bronx, and developed a rather nasty jealousy for Ryan's new love, the nice and normal Aurelia. When she got pregnant and Ryan proposed, Abbey used her powers - poison creation from glands beneath her fingernails - to poison Aurelia and force her to miscarry. Ryan came back to her, and she thought all was well. She's fiercely in love with the man who loves his ex-wife, but at the same time she is a cold blooded killer, just like Ryan used to be until Aurelia gave him the heart he never had.Ryuu Kitayama 33 // Mutant // Lawyer // Brotherhood // Ne York // John Cho Ryuu Kitayama never intended to join the Brotherhood, but circumstance led this straight-laced human rights lawyer down a very unethical path. After his little sister Yukiko (also known as Vita) was captured by the government and taken to New Smyrna, he has become an advocate for the rights of mutants. Secretly, though, he has joined with the Brotherhood to make sure his beloved kid sister gets out by any means necessary. A first generation son of Japanese immigrants, he has always felt torn between two cultures, more so than his sister ever did. He's proven his worth in the courtroom, though - after his studies at Columbia, he has already been made a partner at high powered human rights firm Yancey Courtland Thomas and Scott, with the chances of adding Kitayama to that long name very likely in the years to come. His $250,000 a year salary has been spent recently trying to free his sister unsuccessfully from prison, leading to him turning to the Brotherhood for help. Power up to player.Beatrix Potter 28 // Mutant // Spy // Brotherhood // New York // Anna Friel Believe it or not, Beatrix Potter is her real name, but after twenty eight years people still believe she is lying to them. Beatrix, believe it or not, is a mutant spy for the Brotherhood with the power of being a human lie detector. It's not very powerful but damn useful, especially now that she has gotten herself a rather cushy job as a secretary in the office of the Home Secretary. Beatrix is not your typical mutant activist - she is a sweet Londoner with a rather kinky sense of humor and a love of collecting teapots in her tiny flat in Stepney. Nevertheless, Beatrix can be a rather ruthless individual if given the opportunity - she is an expert shot with her handgun (illegally acquired), and she has participated in more than one Brotherhood mission that involved death. She's quite fearless actually, unless her teapot collection is threatened. Also, she is quite proud of her unused accomplishments - she graduated with highest honors with a graduate degree in Particle Physics from Cambridge when she was only 22. She uses her term paper on Laser Technology as a paperweight.Anderson Ullman 47 // Human // Wall Street Financier // Brotherhood // New York // Robert Downey Junior Anderson Ullman is a brave man indeed. Not only does he secretly finance the Brotherhood of Mutants, as he sees it as a rather good investment in the long run, but he is engaged to be married to Miranda Reinhold-Spencer, the beautiful but capricious ex-wife of the Friends of Humanity President, Alan Spencer. Despite Miranda being incredibly beautiful, and the perfect specimen to be his trophy wife, he still continues a clandestine affair with Jane Whitcroft, the much younger heiress who seduced him into supporting the efforts of the Brotherhood. While he would be more than happy to go public with Jane, he sees her as too plain to be his public partner, and that is where Miranda is an asset. While he loves her for her looks, and is more than happy to give Miranda everything she wants, Jane is the one who has a hold on his heart.Jane Whitcroft 26 // Mutant // Terrorist Sympathizer/Heiress // Brotherhood // New York // Lauren Ambrose Jane is the daughter of a rather infamous Texas oil tycoon/playboy and his fourth wife, lost in the shuffle of ten kids all trying to claim their piece of the inheritance money. Jane is the brightest, the highest educated (Harvard MBA), and wisest of the bunch, and also the only mutant, possessing the power of precognition up to a week before an event happens, barring the series of events being manipulated. While it is not entirely obvious, she is a secret member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, her small fortune going to help her friends and allies, especially since she has been seduced to the idea that maybe one day mutants can overtake humans and become the dominant race on Earth. Maybe then her father will remember her name.Daniel Hester 45 // Mutant // Mutant Terrorist // Brotherhood // England // Clive Owen Quite possibly the head of the Brotherhood of Mutant's British sector, Daniel Hester is one of the few people to ever escape from New Smyrna, right after it opened in 2005. With his power to control the weather and without the use of drugs strong enough to suppress the powers of the strongest captives, Daniel created a tornado that destroyed half the prison and allowed a number of mutants to escape. He fled back to his native England where he now vowed to continue on with his mission to make sure mutant rights are given and mutants are respected worldwide. Daniel has been responsible for a good number of British mutant-powered terrorist attacks against government organizations, the Friends of Humanity, etc. The funny thing is that he also has a family that knows little about his alter life - his young wife Calliope is oblivious that her beloved husband of six months is a wanted terrorist. Likewise, he doesn't know she is is a member of Friends of Humanity sent to lure him out so they could bring him to justice - all without telling her who he really was. He is known to the public as the Beast of Ruislip, his home base (supposedly).Jezebel Jones 24 // Mutant // Accountant, Recruiter // Brotherhood // England // Michelle Williams By day Jezebel Jones is an overworked, underpaid accountant for a trading company, but by night and most weekends she works for the Brotherhood, both as an accountant/funds manager and as a recruiter, trying to find mutants to join their cause. Raised in a mutant family, Jezzie has the power of invisibility, deflecting light from around her to make it seem as if she isn't even there. Although she has been dating Ian Alexandrios for three years now and loves him dearly, and only knows him as a banker, she still hasn't told him what she is, even if she has used her powers around him. She also hasn't told him the number of times she has cheated on him with their very handsome neighbor Ollie Eddy (one night stands, of course, except there have been nine of them). She is increasingly growing in love with Ian, it's just that thanks to his job he's away a lot, leaving her at home by herself. That's one of the reasons she joined up with the Brotherhood in the first place - boredom.Kipling Stewart 34 // Mutant // Artist // Brotherhood // England // Michael Vartan Born to hippie parents in the backwoods of Wales, Kipling has never been one hundred percent normal. Far from it, actually. With the power to animate inanimate objects, in his case almost always his surrealist sculptures, Kipling often 1.) talks in the third person 2.) refers to his imaginary friends from when he was four and 3.) get high and/or wasted. Kipling has been very single after his last girlfriend left him, but he hasn't been in the dating market. Instead, he has stumbled upon the Brotherhood quite by accident, and occasionally makes the hundred mile trek from his artist commune in the village of Milton- upon-Derry to give whatever assistance he can to the cause, even though he uses his powers more for his own amusement than to really help them out. That doesn't mean he hasn't killed anyone, though, to "support the cause".Harry Kaprun 28 // Mutant // Waiter // Brotherhood // England // Josh Hartnett An Austrian-Brit, Harold Kaprun has been torn between his cultural homeland back in Vienna and between his place of birth in Glasgow since he was born. His father, a fugitive from Austrian law, had taken refuge in the slums of Scotland and raised his son to be just the spitting little image of him, a German-speaking lawbreaker from birth. Wilhelm Kaprun, however, was arrested while trying to enter Austria and eight year old Harold deported back to the UK. Since then, he's struggled to survive, even with his mutant powers - superspeed. He's migrated to the back allies of London where he works as a waiter in a German restaurant, getting drunk out of his mind on weekends and occasionally giving the Brotherhood some help. His father is still in prison, and he hopes one day he can somehow use his connections with the organization to break his father out. |

AllianceSati Pilankar 26 // Mutant // Geography Teacher // Alliance // New York // Frieda Pinto A geography teacher at PS 321 in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Sati was born in Pune, Maharashtra, India, her parents devout Hindus but also devout worshipers of the American way of life. In 1994, the Pilankar family packed up and moved to Buffalo, New York, where Gajpati Pilankar took a job as a Professor of Engineering and Ajit Pilankar became a housewife with the desire to make sure all four of her children - three sons and daughter Sati - became doctors and marry good Marathis back in India. Sati went to Harvard as was expected, but instead she majored in Geography, eventually becoming a geography teacher. With the power to immerse herself in a self- generated flame and live (her name was somewhat prophetic it seems) she has had to live with a number of difficulties, especially since her fiance is definitely not a good Marathi - more like a good Jew. Still, she is happy with her life, even if it is extremely difficult.Xander O'Brien 28 // Mutant // Computer Geek // Alliance // New York Zachary Levi An electrokinetic with the power to create power surges large enough to cut the lights out to entire cities (and knock him out for a week), Xander O'Brien is a first generation Irish-American born and bred in Brooklyn. He's smart and dedicated to the world of computer science, working days for a top Fortune 500 company and nights for Simon Avery's pro-mutant organization, of course masquerading as a human computer analyst/web designer. With his thick accent, he's done a damn good job so far of hiding the fact he is a mutant, but he's still unsure of how much longer can hide what he is since he has to fight every day to control it. He is almost always static charged, resulting in almost everyone being zapped when they touch him, but he has turned it into something of a joke for those who know him. He is an old Princeton buddy of Eric Mulroney, but hasn't seen him in years, but he still keeps in contact (through email only) with Ashlyn Parker, unknowing of her anti-mutant connections and what she did to poor Eric.Garrison Harper 40 // Human // NYC Police Detective // Alliance // New York Paul Giamatti The husband of Veronique, Garrison is something of the enforcer for the Alliance, even though he tries not to pull his gun or badge unless completely necessary. A 20 year veteran of the NYC police, Garrison is a homicide detective, an idea most people laugh at when they see Garrison in person. He's a short, somewhat pudgy looking man who grew up on the Upper East Side in a rich Jewish family, leaving all that behind for the police force and his family's disgust. Still, he landed himself a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, Rosa. In fact, Garrison just puts on the bad cop demeanor for effect - he's really a nice, sweet guy who loves his family dearly, and while he's given up on religion, he tries to satisfy the demands of his mother and at least introduce his daughter to Judaism. He supports his wife as much as he can, which sometime draws the ire of the department by vocally supporting mutants.Evan Rosenfeld 29 // Mutant // Physics Professor // Alliance // New York // Charlie Cox Evan Rosenfeld was born in raised in Park Slope to two somewhat lapsed Jews, his father a banker and his mother a high school teacher, an only child. His power - enhanced memory and recall - has helped him well since it developed after his father's death at age 15. Since then, he has devoted his life to science, specifically astrophysics. He received his Ph.D. at Columbia at age 25 and accepted a job as an adjunct professor at his alma mater last year. Through friends he met Sati Pilankar and fell in love, proposing to her last New Years in Times Square. Sati and Evan are a perfect pair even if they do have different backgrounds and upbringings, but they do have one major thing in common - they are both mutants and members of the Alliance since before they met. Evan is not the loud, outgoing type, but he uses his smarts and his skills to his benefit.Veronique Richelieu 36 // Mutant // Pro-Mutant Activist // Alliance // New York // Gina Torres If most people went around promoting a better understanding of mutants, they would automatically be tested for being a mutant. In Veronique's case, her mutation prevents her from being uncovered. Besides her DNA appearing perfectly human, she can create force fields that protect her from physical attacks, a shimmery force that surrounds her body and her body alone. She cannot pass it on to other people, but if she puts herself in front of others, she can be something of a bullet proof shield. Veronique is a former model originally from Algeria, the daughter of a French diplomat and an African merchant's daughter. Having lived in the United States for almost twenty years now, she has an American husband and a daughter named Rosa who has inherited her mutation, but she is still afraid for the future despite being immune from the government's attempts to capture her.Rosa Harper 15 // Mutant // High School Student // Alliance // New York // Cassie Ventura Rosa Harper to most seems like your typical private school student, her tuition funded by her rich grandparents, but her home life is a tad different. For one, her family isn't that rich, living in a quaint two bedroom apartment in Murray Hill with her mother Veronique and father Garrison. Rosa is a curious, bright, and very artistic young woman, her paintings being featured across New York City, but she harbors the knowledge she is a mutant, even though DNA tests show her as a human thanks to her mutation, inherited from her mother. Rosa enjoys the Alliance and the companionship it gives her with humans and mutants alike, and she harbors a rather bad crush on Xander O'Brien. She's not the jealous sort, but she knows that if anyone ever hurt her beloved Xander, or stole him away from her despite their relationship being completely inappropriate and impossible since he sees her as a bratty kid, she would get very, very angry.Catherine Woods 34 // Mutant // Director // Alliance // England // Audrey Tautou Catie Woods has long since flaunted the lack of anti-mutant laws in England, parading the fact that she is indeed a mutant who can transform her body into a living liquid form. As the day approaches for those laws to go into effect, Catie has had to constantly dodge anti-mutant sentiment and attempts at her life by the Friends of Humanity to lobby for those laws to be repealed, seeing as how she is the very, very vocal director of Britain's Alliance for Mutant Relations. Once upon a time Catie lived in America while attending law school, before she came to love what she was, and that was where she met Simon Avery, a man she came to love and care about more than anyone she had ever met before. With the passing of anti-mutant laws in America, she had to flee, leaving Simon and Catie to break up, but she has taken up the banner of the organization he founded in England even though things look bleak. Catie has vowed however that she will become a martyr for mutants everywhere if she has to, to show the world that mutants are no different than humans.Sophia Woods 60 // Mutant // Housewife/Socialite // Alliance // England // Meryl Streep The overbearing, extremely protective mother of Catherine Woods, Sophia was not raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. Originally from war-torn Northern Ireland, Sophia O'Reilly came to London to pursue an acting career, only to get married to a rich man and instead become a London socialite, ditching her thick accent and exchanging it for the nicest clothes money could buy. Of course, she had other secrets she couldn't leave behind so easily - such as the fact she was a mutant with the power of photokinesis. Together with her husband she gave birth to daughter Catherine, who would eventually inherit Catherine's X-Gene much to Sophia's dislike, and on top of that her father's head-strong nature. Sophia is a secret member of the Alliance, however maintaining her public appearance as a member of the upper crust of London society, all the while constantly being forced to remind her daughter that she can't go around constantly using her powers if she plans on staying alive much longer.Raj Patel 31 // Human // Geneticist // Alliance // England // Kal Penn A geneticist who lost his mutant wife to anti-mutant criminals two years ago, Raj is a brilliant geneticist who for years had worked on a cure for Hanson-Meyer Syndrome, a disease which led to a wasting death by the blood being unable to become oxygenated. As a Ph.D. student at Oxford, he succeeded, resulting in him being an international celebrity which then brought pressure to his wife Marie, a young French doctor with a healing touch. She was murdered, and Raj was left grief-stricken to no ends. He joined with the Alliance in her honor, but he has left his work behind for something somewhat more sinister, something that the Alliance would surely not agree to. Raj Patel has been working on a formula for a mutant cure to "save the innocent" in Marie's honor. If he succeeds, he believes he will avenge his wife's death, and he could care less about the consequences.Fabian Harker 41 // Mutant // Television Newscaster // Alliance // England // Daniel Craig Charisma simply oozes from the pores of Fabian Harker, one of Britain's most popular newscasters. That would be because his mutation, which is an unconscious thing, causes people to instinctively trust him. Fabian has been aware of his mutation for several years now, and, with the inevitable introduction of anti-mutant laws in the UK, Fabian is a clandestine supporter of the Alliance for Mutant Relations. While, publicly at least, he is permitted to show no bias either for or against mutants, he devotes what time he can spare into fighting for their rights. The one thing missing from his life is love, but who has time for love when the future of your species is at stake?Jonah Kerrigan 25 // Human // PA // Alliance // England // Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jonah never planned to be a PA, much less a PA within the Alliance for Mutant Relations. A finicky, picky boy when growing up, his fussiness and habitual neatness developed into extremely good organizational skills, which did not go unnoticed by Fabian Harker when Jonah was on a work placement at the television studios. Offered a job by Fabian as his own PA as soon as he graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in media studies, Jonah was soon attending Alliance meetings with Fabian, where he came to the attention of Catie Woods, who quickly saw his value and poached him as her own PA. Now Jonah is the only one that Catie trusts to oversee the planning of the more delicate and shady operations that the Alliance involves itself in, but Jonah is hiding a secret of his own - he has secretly been feeding information to the Friends of Humanity...Genevieve Serrier 27 // Mutant // Activist // Alliance // England // Shiri Appleby The daughter of a French diplomat and his much younger English wife, Genevieve was raised between homes in London, Paris and Lyon. A mutant who has the ability to send those she touches into a short but deep sleep, she hid her mutation from her family until her nineteenth birthday, when they disowned her, terrified for her safety now that anti-mutant feeling was sweeping the world. Genevieve moved back to London, where she volunteered for the Alliance, and is now one of their most outspoken activists. Her one problem, however, is that she continually falls for the wrong man, and, right now, Oliver Eddy is just about as wrong as she could get... |
