Inazuma ‘Ina’ Rasputin - Circuit
15
-----
Inazuma is the daughter of Piotr Rasputin (Colossus) and Noriko Ashida (Surge). She is on the smaller side, standing at around 4'8 with lightly tanned skin. She has a slim and compact build, meant for one thing and one thing only: speed. She's the fastest person you'll ever meet. She's crazy fast even without her powers. She still happens to have a bit of muscle on her, but not enough to really make a difference. Her hair was originally black, but after finding a bottle of hair dye labeled "Electric Blue", her hair is now colored bright blue. She keeps her messy hair pretty short, not even falling to her chin. Even then it sticks out all over the place. Like she just got out of bed. She also has a thin braid, starting just behind her right ear, that goes down and drapes over her shoulder. She can sometimes be seen messing with it. Her eyes are the real freaky thing about her. They aren't normal in the slightest. They are solid, electric blue orbs. No iris, no pupil. Just solid blue. There are also plumes of electricity filled smoke emitting from the corners of her eyes at all times. It looks like blue smoke, filled with tiny bolts of electricity. When she's using her powers the smoke becomes straight up lightning shooting from her eyes. The bolts are about as long as her hands. She tends to wear a light blue tank top which cuts off at around her belly button, as well as skin tight black shorts. Over the shorts she wears a light blue cloth that looks like a skirt that’s split up both sides. It’s tied to her with a white cloth, like a belt. She also tends to always being wearing black, aviator sunglasses to hide her eyes from the public. It doesn’t always work that well.
Inazuma is as loyal as they come. She'll never betray her friends nor will she leave them behind. She's an amazing friend to have. But that doesn't stop her from being brash. She doesn't pause to speak her mind and sometimes seems like a jerk. In fact, she is kind of a jerk. Especially when she's overloading. But mostly to those she doesn't know. She can be the most bored person in the room, or the most active. She could go from jumping off the walls to laying on the floor and whining. She's very random sometimes. Actually all the time. She's also a prankster. A really good one. Sometimes it can go too far, but somehow it's still kind of funny.
Inazuma’s parents weren’t a thing for long. More like a short fling. Her mother still got pregnant though, and she was born. She was raised mainly by her mother between the X-Mansion and Japan. While at the mansion was when she saw her father. At least her parents were on good terms so she could actually have fun with her father. Thanks to him, she learned how to mostly control his side of the powers. Also he taught her Russian. She didn’t have many problems with her life besides a few run ins with mutant haters. All she had to do was run away, and it was rather easy.
Inazuma obviously has the same powers as her mother, strengths and weaknesses. She can absorb electricity and release it in several different ways. Though first, how she absorbs it. She is always taking in electricity. Always. If from the static in the air, or any electronic devices around her. Lights are known to flicker around her. She can't control it at all. This leads to overloads of energy. An ‘overload’ is when she's absorbed so much electricity, it causes a mental overload. This causes her to speak too fast, normally in Japanese, sometimes Russian, scatter her thinking, and worsen her control over her powers. When this happens, she has to release all of the energy inside her. A 'reboot' she calls it. She blasts all of the electricity out of her, usually into the air, then passes out for about ten to fifteen minutes. When she wakes up, she loses her powers for an hour or two. Even her eyes look normal during this time, being brown like her father’s. After she recovered enough energy, then she's back to normal. Well, as normal as she can be. Now as for how she actually uses her powers, it comes down to blasts of electricity, sending electricity into objects, and using it for bursts of speed. The first way is using her powers to release powerful lightning blasts. Either in streams, or balls of energy. The second way is sending electricity into objects. This includes anything electronic or metal, causing a surge. It knocks out electronics, restarts them, or makes metal emit electricity. She can also send it through living beings. It's like a taser, sending a shock through the body and knocking them unconscious. The third and final way is channeling the electricity into bursts of superhuman speed. Her speed increases almost tenfold. She looks like a blue blur when she uses this certain power. She also emits a bit of electricity at the same time. In fact, she looks more like a lightning bolt than a blur. However, she also received the powers from her father. She can turn her body into organic metal. When she does this, she gains almost an entire foot in height, and gains increased strength. She also becomes highly durable and quite a bit slower due to the extra weight. This also affects her other powers. The metal works as a conductor and grounding point. She no longer overloads, however her powers are heavily dampened. She can now only cover her metal body in electricity, release concentrated bursts, and use the electricity around her legs to hover a couple inches off the ground. She can’t move very fast, but the hovering lets her move a little easier by gliding over the ground.
Her accent is pretty thick Japanese, and her English isn’t that amazing. It’s pretty strange, since she’s fluent in both Japanese and Russian.

Cyprus Thurman - Snapshot
19
-----
Cyprus is the son of Neena Thurman (Domino). He’s a tall and skinny guy standing at around 6' with a pretty compact build. He has muscles, and he's pretty strong, but it doesn't really show on him. He doesn’t share the physical mutation of his mother, not having white skin or the black circle over an eye. He keeps his hair styled as longer on the top of his head and shaved on the sides of his head. The hair on the top of his head is a couple inches long and spiked up. The color of his hair is a black. His eyes are a very bright blue. The thing is, only one of his eyes is really like that. The left one to be exact. His right eye is a pure white orb. He also has a large, jagged scar over his right eye. It goes from his forehead to his cheek, and actually appears on his eyeball as well. He wears an eye patch over it to hide his eyeball. The eye patch is a navy blue color. The actual patch has a silver outline and a silver symbol on it. The symbol is a hollow crescent moon with a solid circle in the center of the moon. There are also solid crescent moons on either side of the circle pointing out towards the tips of the hollow crescent. It also looks a lot like a C. His outfit is pretty simple. He wears a white shirt with sleeves that go to his elbows and that hugs his body. Over that he wears a dark gray, zip-up hoodie that he usually leaves open. He also rolls up the sleeves to his elbows. He tends to keep the hood up when he wants to avoid people. He then wears navy blue cargo shorts that reach a little bit past his knees. He also has a black belt wrapped through the loops of his pants. On his feet are white socks that reach a little over his ankles, and navy blue colored sneakers with white laces. He also wears headphones around around his neck. The headphones are navy blue with the same silver symbol on the sides as his eye patch. The soft parts of the headphones are black. When he's alone, or wants to be, he usually puts them on with his hood.
Cyprus isn't someone a person goes to for emotions. In fact, is you want a complete lack of them, he's your man. He's almost completely emotionless. At least that's how he appears. He doesn't smile, he doesn't frown. he doesn't really do anything. He doesn't really react at all most of the time. He does sigh lot though. There are rare moments where he'll show the slightest hint of a smile, or the tiniest furrowing of the brow, but otherwise he's just a blank slate to people. Luckily he's very smart, so he still has his words. A lot of words. He expresses how he feels through his words. He even prefers to talk instead of fight, but he'll fight if he can't talk. If you want a nice conversation, he's the guy.
Cyprus was born and raised on the move. He lived everywhere around the world. His mother was a mercenary, it came with the territory. Wherever she got hired, they went. He never minded, as it was all he’d known. It didn’t stay like this forever. As he got older, he started picking up bad habits from his mother. Mainly learning how to use guns. After she found him practicing with a rifle, she got worried. Mainly because he was good with it. She didn’t want him to have the same life as her, she wanted him to be better. So she called in a favor and dropped him at the X-Mansion when he was about 14, and he’s been there since. He still uses guns, but modified ones. They aren’t deadly, instead shooting lasers that knock people out on what would be a lethal shot, or just numb a part of the body when it’s a nonfatal shot. He works with it.
Cyprus shares his mother’s power of probability manipulation, though his is a bit more powerful. It shares the main dynamic, where it’s subconscious and he has to act for it to go into effect. However, he doesn’t need to be in a stressful environment for it to go into effect. He could be doing something as simple as throwing trash into a bin, or making a shot that could mean his life or death. Also, the things that actually cause him stress don’t always include those situations where he’s in a fight, so his mutation adapted.
Lilith Blair - Crescendo
17
-----
Lilith is the oldest daughter of Alison Blaire (Dazzler), and the favorite in her mind. She’s slightly taller than the other females in her family, standing at around 5’9. While her build is a bit slim, it's actually quite mature for someone her age. She has curves to die for. Her skin is rather pale, which is a bit odd. Her hair is extremely long, easily reaching down past her waist to near her knees. She usually keeps it styled into long ponytails on the top of the sides of her head, and they still reach to around her mid thigh. The color of her hair is platinum blonde, with the lower half of her ponytails being dyed a light blue. Her eyes are a bright, silver color. They seem to lack the vibrancy her hair brings, even if they are bright. Lilith wears a loose, white, wide necked shirt with large sleeves that go to just above her elbow. In the middle of the shirt is a symbol of a heart made with a bass clef and treble clef, colored black. She then wears skin-tight sweatpants that reach to around her mid shin. They are colored a silver that shines a bit. There are also black stripes that go down the outside and inside of her legs, as well as down the middle of the front and back of her groin. There are also black rings around the edges, including the waist and cuffs. On her feet are white sandals with very slight heels on them. Around her neck she usually wears headphones with a silver band and white speakers. The cushions on the speakers are black. Also on the sides of the speakers are black symbols like the one on her shirt. Lilith was born as a mute, though she knows sign language. It’s basically her only way to communicate besides her music.
Lilith could be described as a true party girl, if she knew what that was. She's always happy and smiling. She loves being around people and she brightens up every room she walks into. She also over expresses all of her emotions. Something she picked up from not being able to speak. Those around her have no problem understanding what she's feeling. She's actually scared of being alone or abandoned. It's why she clings to people so much, and also why she sometimes has trouble keeping friends. She's also extremely innocent and ignorant to the world she lives in because of how she was raised. Which means she’s sometimes left clueless in most situations. Doesn’t mean she stops smiling though. She’s definitely an interesting person to be around.
Lilith was born on the move, what with her mother being on tour all the time. She somehow managed to keep Lilith a complete secret, though this was by keeping her completely sheltered. She knew next to nothing about the world, only really learning things through reading and television. It didn’t help when her powers manifested at the ripe young age of 9, which meant she was off to Xavier’s so she could learn how to control them. Because of her being mute, and so young, a lot of people didn’t approach her. They didn’t know how. So she was basically alone besides the teachers who would talk to her sometimes after class. This led to her being basically clueless about the world and most social situations. She’s knows the basics of course, but not much else beyond that. It’s a tad sad.
Her mutation is slightly different than her mother’s, even if it still involves sonic waves. Instead, she is able to control sound produced by her and direct it to do something in a kinetic way. She uses it in a variety of ways, from offensive to supportive. Mostly the latter though. While she can use the sound to hit her targets like a train, she can also use it to buff her allies. She can make them hit harder, run faster, jump higher, take a couple more hits. Even give them more energy. Basically use sound to make their bodies stronger. To do any of this though, she needs to produce some kind of sound. This would have been perfect to use with singing, but she doesn’t have a voice. Instead, she has to use music. Any kind will do, as long as she produces it and gives it direction. The buff only lasts as long as she focuses on it. Which means if she’s distracted, or is focusing on multiple buffs, she could falter and some could vanish suddenly. Two, maybe three buffs on a single person, or one buff for a small group of people, is about what she’s capable of keeping her focus on. She can attack still, but the attacks aren’t very strong. They hurt, but more like a punch than anything else.
Lilith is talented with using most stringed instruments. Whether they be plucked like a guitar or bass, or played with a bow like a violin or cello. She’s also rather skilled on the piano. Lately though, she’s been putting her focus into creating electronic music and being a DJ. She figures that would be a cool way to attract people to be her friends. Due to this new interest, Forge has been experimenting on a new way for her to use her mutation. He’s making progress, but very slowly. It’s a tad difficult according to him.
