A TENUOUS TRUST
Sometimes, the line between friend and foe is more blurred than one might suppose. How would you respond to a possibly deadly betrayal?
--the summary of xFreakx's Interfic.
**********
The premise is this. A new school for mutants has recently been founded in a medium-sized city not far from Toronto, called Champlain. The three adult mutants running the show have combed Canada and perhaps other countries as well, and have found anywhere from five to fifteen possible students. The new mutants move into the Champlain Institute and begin lessons, friendships, and resume as normal a life as is possible. However, before long, things go terribly wrong and these uprooted youngsters are on their own, trying to discover the truth.
Please fill in the form in as much detail as possible. Think hard about the character you're creating, think it through as well as you can. I will not accept characters currently appearing in any other fic, interactive or not. I will not take Mary Sues, characters related to any canonical X-men (that means no Wolverine's long lost daughters or Rogue's twin sisters). I don't need a "scientific" explanation for powers, but please try to think them through. I will not take characters that have tons of different powers. Stick to one thing, please. Also keep in mind that these are kids around sixteen or seventeen; they won't have complete control over their mutation yet. Please try to be original. Not everyone can be a wise-cracking smart alec. Not everyone is a rebel. Not everyone is smart, beautiful, or popular. Don't be afraid to be creative!
I may not be able to update this a lot, since I'm not allowed on the computer during the week (I sneak on. ;) However, I'll try to get working on it as soon as possible. The winners should be up fairly soon... I'm not going to take anymore than fifteen, probably no more than ten -at the most-. So try to make 'em good if you're interested. ;) Good luck!
I don't own X-Men, or X-Men Evolution. :) Ummm.... Let's see. Here's a sample form that you can copy and paste, and one filled out with my character. Yippee.

Your ff.net name: xFreakx
Name: Leanna Shaw Nelson. But she generally's called Lee. ^_^
Gender: Female.
Age/Grade: 16/Junior
Alias: Torrent.
Powers: Lee has a certain extent of control over water. It doesn't come from within her body, but she can generate it with her mind -- the process is an unconscious one; she combines hydrogen and oxygen atoms to create a stream of water under her control. Also, Lee is beginning to be able to control water other than that she creates, such as those in ponds or streams... It's more difficult for her, however, and leaves a nasty headache if she tries it for too long. The water that she creates can be concentrated so that it can knock someone over, and has other battle uses she's figuring out still -- but Lee's power isn't always practical in battles, it can be heated and then the steam is completely useless.
Hair: She has light, mousy brown hair, too thick to really do anything with, cut short to about the chin. Lee is constantly pushing it behind her ears in an attempt to tame it, but unfortunately -- it's not to be conquered and jumps back just as quickly.
Eye color: Lee's eyes are a pale and watery gray. They're incredibly light and it's difficult to find a color at all... Somewhat disconcerting if she's staring at you. :)
Height/Weight: 5' 5" 130 lbs. She's distressingly average.
Clothes: Lee seems to gravitate towards baggy clothing. When shopping for pants, she avoids the women's section all together and makes a beeline for the men's cargo pants, or skater-ish type things that hang over her feet. The tops are a little more fitted, but still, quite loose. She generally wears either band shirts, solid colors, or shirts with odd little slogans painted across them, such as Shakespeare quotes or political opinions.
Miscellaneous Looks: Lee is not a pretty girl. She's, as in almost everything else, quite average. Very thick lensed and black framed glasses obscure her facial features and eyes, she's almost blind without them. Lee has a snub nose above a very wide mouth, and a face dotted with barely-there freckles. She's rather flat chested and could possibly be mistaken for a boy with longish hair, when she's in her normal outfit. Otherwise, she's easy not to notice. Lee's just -- there.
History: Lee's father and mother are a rather unlikely pair; an English immigrant and a die-hard French-Canadian respectively. Lee herself is Canadian born and bred, and lived in Champlain for about half of her life. Her family moved when she was three, to Toronto, but she returned when she was recruited for the Champlain Institute. In school, she only had two close friends, and was otherwise generally picked on. She knew that she was different, always, and it wasn't much of a surprise when her powers manifested at age thirteen, soaking her room and springing a leak in the downstairs ceiling. Despite the damages, Jack and Rose were able to claim flood insurance damanges. ;) They were quite supportive of their only daughter, and only sent her to the Institute with the express idea that she would learn more about her powers, not to send her away from sight.
Family: Jack, 41, and Marianne, 38.
Birthplace: Champlain, Canada.
Personality: Lee is a fairly easy-going girl. She's a bit ironic in her look at things, but optimistic in most others. Although she was picked on in school, she harbors no grudge against the human race in general -- she realizes that people are people, and will never be perfect. She's a bit of a slacker, and prefers lazing around and having fun to really working hard to benefit herself. She's not a leader and never has been, but she's not a follower. Lee's a bit of a loner, actually, her somewhat bizarre take on things is not endearing to many people, and neither is her habit of zoning out when they're talking to her and she's not interested.
Character flaws: She's a bit too apathetic. Lee has almost no ambition at all, and would be perfectly happy to sit around doing nothing if that were possible. Although she won't admit it, she still has nightmares and is afraid of the dark.
Likes: Music, karate, laziness, the chance to enjoy a day, skateboarding.
Dislikes: Being told to hurry, people yelling at her, teachers who expect a lot from a student, the dark, being sick, spinach.
Favorite band: Radiohead.
