X-Force
Arachne – May Parker – Spider Man & Black Cat – She inherited both her father's powers and her mother's probability effects, in addition to having six arms, and being able to fly and shrink to insect size – She has short, platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, an upturned nose and a fair complexion with a smattering of freckles. She has medium height and the athletic build of an inveterate tomboy. Unlikely to be described as ravishingly beautiful, she's nonetheless extremely cute – Her father was killed seven years ago in the Manhattan Massacre that killed most of the Avengers. Her mother got her out of the city and then out of the country. Felicia was killed a few years later when a job went extremely wrong and her famous luck finally ran out. May remained at the New Xavier Academy in the Australian Outback until the team decided to return to the US a year ago.
Askani – Scott Summers – Cable & Domino – He's a techno-organic cyberkinetic with temporal powers that make him the world's greatest warrior. He can slip in and out of time, as well as predict any action an opponent could take. Whereas his parents preferred guns, he prefers melee weapons - He's an albino with white hair and a black birthmark over his right eye in the form of a four pointed star. His skin is almost translucent and fine circuitry, wires and other mechanical amalgams can be seen faintly beneath it. His eyes are blank and colorless. He's blind, but in no way even the slightest bit hampered by the loss. He carries a small arsenal of weapons on his person at all times and is never unarmed; preferring melee weapons, but being equally skilled in creating ranged weapons of an extremely high tech nature – He was raised at the Xavier mansion and moved to Australia with the rest of the students when the feds moved on the school. His parents were on Muir Island when Sentinels attacked and turned the rock into a reef. Their bodies were never found, but there can be no doubt of their deaths.
Avenger – Nick Rogers – Captain America & Warbird – He inherited his mother's strength, agility, reflexes, speed, flight and seventh sense; as well as his father's shield. The rest of his abilities are all hard won skills. He does have circuitry in his duster that gives him access to dimensional pockets where he stores the shield and equipment when not in use. Finally, although nowhere near invulnerable, he is reasonably tough and heals quickly. Armor built into his bodysuit and duster helps as well – He's the spitting image of his father, right down to the blue eyes and blonde hair. His build is a little thinner and his hair is a little longer, but there's no way Cap could have ever denied the boy – He was raised at the Xavier Mansion and moved to Australia when the feds moved on the school in the wake of the Manhattan Massacre that claimed the lives of both of his parents. SHIELD managed to get his father's shield and got it to him just before they were thrown out of the US along with the UN. His godfather, Nick Fury, now runs the Academy in an attempt to redeem himself for the mistakes and unintentional betrayal that caused the destruction of the super hero community in the US among several other atrocities.
Dragon – Michael Rasputin – Colossus & Shadowcat – Transforms into a super strong and super tough winged flying metallic humanoid dragon. In the flesh, he's still pretty strong and can phase. When phased, he disrupts electronics and CAN disrupt living organisms. His phased touch can even kill. – He's a large, gentle young man with curly brown hair and hazel eyes; standing about six feet tall and weighing in the vicinity of two hundred pounds and still growing. In dragon form, he's more like twelve feet tall and weighs over half a ton. He has chromed scales like his father, massive wings that resemble Archangel's second set, claws on all four extremities, a powerful tail and a saurian head – He was born and raised on Muir Island, but was in Australia when the destruction of the island and the deaths of his parents caused the re-formation of X-Force against Fury's better judgment and express orders.
Lioness – Kate Wakandas – Storm & Black Panther – Cat girl with weather control powers in addition to her physical enhancements. She has a mild fear of flying, preferring to use her wind riding abilities to enhance her leaps and cushion falls. Her feet and tail are partially prehensile. Her preferred weather medium is lightning – She's a tall athletic young woman with silky black fur and a white mane that more closely resembles a mohawk. She has fangs, and claws on all four extremities. Her features are feline, but she has her mother's eyes – She's the princess in absentia of the nation of Wakanda. Her parents were killed in the coup that briefly turned the once peaceful nation into a brutal military dictatorship. Forces loyal to the king managed to get her out of the country before the borders were closed. She's been at the Australian Academy ever since; even though her older brother was able to reclaim the throne. To say the siblings don't get along would be an understatement. Peter Wakandas is a despot, but the people flourish under his rule. Kate doesn't agree with his methods, but knows that returning home would give cause to the resistance and the Panther Cult; which could trigger a civil war that would destroy the country she loves. As long as the king keeps his rule fair and the country healthy, she's agreed to remain in exile. He is the rightful ruler, after all.
Phoenix – C J Summers – Cyclops & Phoenix – Internal/External Psychokinetic and Spatial Manipulator. His powers include: Displacement, Teleportation, Spatial Awareness, Deflection/Reflection, Spatial Bending, Spatial Disruption and Spatial Shearing, as well as the normal Telekinetic abilities – He has red hair tinged with brown and green eyes. He's tanned and athletic, but by no means a jock. He wears glasses and his headset is designed to his prescription. When he becomes agitated, angry or distracted, he becomes rather difficult to look directly at. Doing so gives the observer a headache from eye strain - He was raised at the Xavier Mansion and moved to Australia when the feds moved on the school in the wake of the Manhattan Massacre. His parents along with several other X-Men died when US Special Forces, with Sentinel back up, attacked Genosha. The team fought a delaying action while others evacuated as many innocents as they could. More than a thousand mutants were alive due to their sacrifice. CJ is proud of their legacy, but would rather have them.
Predator – Rose Logan – Wolverine & Mystique – Hyper sensory, physically enhanced, regenerating shapeshifter with surprising control over her physical form. She can walk on walls and become invisible in shadows. She can even hide in plain sight if she has to, but the power isn't reliable. She doesn't have claws, but rather uses a specially energized adamantium katana – She can look like anyone she chooses to and become visually identical to them. In her default form, however, she has her mother's complexion and hair color, and her father's hairstyle. Her default form for mixing with society changes only her complexion. Whatever form she is in when she goes unconscious remains her form until she consciously changes it – Her father is believed to have died in Genosha. Her mother was never much a part of her life, but vanished and is presumed dead after her Raven Darkholme identity was exposed by Sentinel sensors. She could not care less about what happened to Raven, but has convinced herself that her dad could have survived.
Quicksilver – Cassie Stark – Iron Man & Scarlet Witch – Her liquid metal form is extremely malleable and resilient, and measurably faster than her uncle and namesake. She's physically enhanced and incredibly agile; a veritable living weapon – Her metal form is shimmering silver and liquid. Her flesh form is tanned, blue eyed and platinum haired. She has a gymnast's build and would have been one in another world. Small in stature, she's large in personality. Her eyes constantly twinkle with mischief barely contained – Her parents sent her to the comparative safety of the Xavier Mansion just before the Manhattan Massacre. She spent the next years training and preparing for what she always knew would be her life's work. They died heroes. She's determined to honor their memory by bringing an end to the people who killed them.
Seraph – Brian Worthington – Archangel & Psylocke – Winged telepath and healer who wields a powerful psi-sword – He has model caliber good looks, blonde hair, purple eyes and a California tan. His build is tall and thin, but athletic. His wings are pure white and feathered – His father insisted on remaining in the US and in plain sight in order to fight the government's assault on freedom. He was taken into custody, held on trumped up charges, tried convicted and executed before a rescue could be launched to save him. His death became a rallying call that unified and strengthened the then still nascent Resistance. His mother later died in Genosha, her death in the midst of battle being televised around the world.
