Aloof ~ intelligent ~ Observant ~ Judgmental ~ Self-Serving ~ Patient

Summary:

The Macleod twins are relics of a time long gone, born in the 15th century. Growing up in a secluded village a few days travel south of Forres, it wasn't until they past their first century when they experienced the first taste of religious extremism a d watched their village and their people burn in its rancor. They fled Scotland for the New World after that, leaving behind what few survivors there were forever.

From there, Nicholas and his brother, Barty, were always on the move and rarely set down roots for long than a few decades at a time. The longest they stayed somewhere was New Orleans during the 1800s and when their lover tried to kill them after revealing themselves to be the descendant of an enemy they'd made at the end of the 16th century, the twins adopted an even more nomadic lifestyle and numbed themselves in a haze of sex and drugs.

However, they found themselves back in New Orleans nearly two centuries later when the rumors of a school for the strange, supernatural, and magical was founded and flourished. They enrolled and even though they'd not know a moment of peace in nearly 5 centuries, they hoped this would be different.

During his time with the Mutant Underground (his so called friends instantly forcing him to flee from society), James formed an inseparable friendship with Max and Ben and found the love of his life, Casper.

The earliest explanation for Leah's powers was that she had been born a mutant like her father. Imperator had, allegedly, took a piece of his daughter's DNA when she was born, and scoured it for any evidence of the "X Gene." Once she was old enough to understand what a mutant was, he explained to her that she had superpowers. Leah didn't understand this at first, because it was strange that her father would know that before she displayed anything. Imperator explained that he ran a test shortly after her birth to "prepare for the inevitable." Two days later, they concluded she was a geokinetic, and possessed heightened physical abilities. Ultimately, someone else discovered Leah's powers for her.

This was not true.

It wasn't until long after Leah had attempted to kill him that she realized what she really was. A giant, from the world called Jotunheim. Her dad had gone there, kidnapped an infant giant, and then genetically modified it with a strange device to make her look mostly human. Then, her raised her as his own, in his usual sadistic ways. She's only gotten flashes of it, but having broken the fragile change after Andy was badly injured, it's now clearly obvious just how deep the trickery went.

There once was a kid named Mayra Pavon, daughter of an absolutely evil man. Imperator was a high-profile mercenary who worked for people he did not disclose to Mayra until she was around 10, and wanted to bring her under his wing. His reasons were varied, but one of them was to allegedly teach her to control her new abilities. Mayra wasn't given a choice, and so for the next two years, she was trained extensively in close-quarters combat by a man who could outthink her every move five minutes in advance. It was painful, being knocked on her ass every time she attempted to make a single swing on him, and it put a massive strain on her relationship with both Imperator and her mother, who believed she was simply away with her father on business trips. She never fully understood why things had to be this way, and she eventually rebelled against him in an act of rage.

One day when she was home, she confessed everything to her mother. Mayra told her everything, about her being a mutant, about the so-called training, even about Imperator's workshop. Unsurprisingly, she didn't believe most of that, but it didn't matter in the end, because Carlos Pavon came home just in time. When his wife questioned him, he didn't even react before he shot her. The whole house fell in on them. Imperator was a superhuman genius, but in his own hubris he failed to account for the possibility that Mayra's training had been more productive than he realized. There is nothing left of that house but a veritable mountain of stone and rubble.

She ran, and ran, and ran.

The rest is somewhat blurry in her mind, but she walked through the Arizona deserts for hours on her own, before eventually flying away on a rock when she came down from the emotional rollercoaster of watching her mother bleed out, and possibly burying her father alive. Mayra eventually found the Avenger's Academy, and used the opportunity to live a different life than what was destined for her. All she hopes now is that no one uncovers her history, or digs into legal records to see if her name is Leah or Mayra.

Leah spent the next three years of her life at a school for superheroes, deciding to be better than the parent she killed. It wasn't easy, having to suddenly be social and make nice with an entire building full of people she didn't know. In fact, it sucked. She didn't know how to talk to other kids, she didn't understand the little social things they did where they looked at each other and immediately understood each other. Leah was only there because, one day, she wanted to fight the bad guys that made life hell for other people. Everyone was told and led to believe that her best shot at this was the Contest of Champions, defeating some of the schools best to unseat them and be picked by the Avengers. For most of the time she spent here, she wasn't convinced. After all, she'd been training to fight before she could even form proper words. She knew better than to hold back and spare terrorists, she only needed this place until she was eighteen. Right?

Wrong.

On day one of her third year, there was a carnival at the school. Fortunes were being told by Agatha Harkness, and Leah wanted to get an expert opinion on something she hadn't been sure of. Cards were drawn. Ten of Swords, Temperance Reversed, and the Queen of Wands Reversed. Agatha revealed a cycle to her. One where a tragedy struck, and an identity was forged only to be torn down again. Great forces reshaping her life on a whim, and she was at their mercy. It confirmed that her old man was still haunting her one way or another. But Agatha pulled two more cards, Five of Wands and the Hermit, to reveal that the only way out was through. She, and she alone could break the cycle before it happened again.

Marlena was modifying a shirt to be looser around the chest area one day, and had a pair of heavy scissors beside her. She reached for a needle, and accidentally knocked the scissors off the table. Her hand went out to catch them, and her foot jerked back. The scissors stopped mid-air, only to go skidding off when she realized what was happening. She lifted them up again, from across the room, and figured it out.

Marlena comes from a family of two. Just her and Carl Evans, her father. Her mother got dreadfully sick when she was twelve, and didn’t make it. Growing up in a big building, in an even bigger city, there were always a lot of faces around and not many quiet spaces to hide away in. Between the hours of school and the late evenings, Marlena had a habit of pulling away and not telling dad or her sister where she’d go. Sometimes she’d just take a walk, or skate around and probably hang out with someone who was chill enough about her. But there were always nights when Marlena was the only person awake in the entire apartment building, coming back at midnight because she felt like staying out longer. Marlena had picked up the hobby a month after the funeral, and despite the problems of a kid running around New York City unattended, it helped. She’d come home smiling over a trick she finally landed, handling things well enough in her own way that her dad let it slide.

It became more than a simple hobby. Marlena stuck with it. At fourteen, she came out as trans to her dad. It was an awkward talk, but he was always the sort of man who opened his ears more than his mouth, so he took it well. Some people at school weren’t quite as receptive, but Marlena was surrounded by enough support to know she was ultimately accepted. That Summer, she took a big interest in changing up her appearance and name, and went back to school much happier. Her father was supportive in all the things she did, even if he didn’t always understand, and she really couldn’t have had it better.

Except for the powers.

As she got older, Marlena got into a habit of staying out later and later. Sometimes, it’d be midnight before she got home. Sometimes, she’d be up even later than that. All those hours spent awake when the city was asleep were spent grappling with the secret of her powers, she’d developed the ability to move things with her mind. Marlena could propel herself along on a skateboard without her feet ever moving to push the ground. She’d keep a knife with her in case someone stalked her, and she could twirl it above her hand like she was a damn wizard. She heard the horror stories about previous generations of mutants fighting tooth and nail, struggling for every single victory they ever got, just to not get killed. It had gotten better over the years, she knew, but looking into it in decret didn’t fill her with much confidence. These days, mutants didn’t hide, they went off to learn how to use their powers. They didn’t just hang out at home and play fighting games witj the kids across the hall, they hopped across the country to fight terrorists. The world didn’t typically mind mutants when they were on a screen, flexing their powers while they fought bad guys and saved the world- When they were palatable.

Marlena didn’t want to be a superhero. Or, at the very least, she didn’t want to change her life. Leaving home to train in some school full of wizards, aliens, demons and other mutants felt like the wrong life for her. Her vision for her future involved being known as Marlena, the girl with a great fashion sense and awesome tricks. Not Marlena, the mutant who wasted her potential on being normal. So she kept her powers secret. In the late hours when she was alone, she’d experiment with them just to be sure she didn’t accidentally kill someone if she ran into them, but they were for her alone to worry ablut, not someone else. She went to school, skated her way home, and just did all the usual kid things.

But then she went home from school one day, and her dad looked hurt. He stared a hole through her from the kitchen table, and he knew she’d been keeping a secret. Apparently, a friend from work spotted Marlena skating around as usual the night before, using her powers to twirl the knife he insisted she carry. They talked, and talked, and talked. She told him how she felt about it, and he felt upset she felt the need to hide it. But Marlena got frustrated, and then so did he. Neither of them wanted to yell, so Marlena walked away.

It put a rift between them, making it awkward to talk to each other for the next few days. They made up eventually, but Marlena’s dad sat her down one day, and had a serious talk with her about it. He wanted what was best for her, he did his own research into things, and told her that he was going to send her to a different school. One that taught people to use superpowers well. And then the rift split back open. She didn’t want to leave home, she didn’t want to go to another school to fight people, and Marlena made it abundantly clear that this was why she hid it from him. Out of fear her life would get turned upside down. This time, they resorted to yelling.

But in the end, Marlena was the teenager and he was the adult. So the decision was final, and she was sent to the other side of the country. They haven’t spoken since.

Magaline Simmons was born to two parents who should never have been together. Despite this, Gabriel and Renata Simmons got married and had Magaline early on in their marriage, some speculating it was a way to save a doomed relationship. Gabriel, a museum curator, and Renata, a bank teller, did their best to provide for the young girl who seemed energetic and wild since she first took in a breath of air.

Underneath the surface was trouble. Renata had a long history of addiction to hard drugs and alcohol. She did her best to hide it but quickly lost ties to friends and family, struggled to keep her job, and often left her daughter to fend for herself when Renata watched her. Gabriel noticed this and begged and pleaded with his wife to get help. No amount of Alcoholics Anonymous seemed to get through to her.

One night, Renata was driving Magadline after she had drunk a lot and crashed into another car, severely injuring the other person. Magaline was unharmed, but remembered the flashing lights, the cries from her mother, and the intense noises from the crash. Magdaline saw firsthand how addiction latched onto her mother. Renata was arrested, and her father came to pick up Magdaline. This was the final straw for Gabriel, who fought for sole custody of Magdaline and divorced Renata. Renata was sentenced to a year in jail. After that year, Renata attempted to see Magdaline, but Gabriel refused. After getting a restraining order, Renata fled off into the unknown.

Magdaline's father did his best to raise her on his own, but he struggled a lot. Having autism made connecting emotionally more difficult, and he found himself struggling to be fully present with her. This was why he relied on his family, namely his siblings Valerie and Harry. Magdaline loved her uncle and aunt and relished their visits. Magdaline grew a love of music and performance from Harry and would often bother him with karaoke sessions and productions Magdaline thought up on her own. Harry encouraged Magdaline's love of the stage.

Valerie spent more intimate time with Magdaline, teaching her various things like how to lockpick and hotwire a car. Unbeknownst to Magdaline, who only saw that she had a cool aunt, Valerie was preparing Magdaline for her future. There was always an underlying worry that Magdaline was a mutant, given that the Simmons bloodline had the gene. Renata was also a mutant and hid her powers, diminishing them with her drug use and alcoholism. Magdaline's powers, if she even had any, never manifested during her adolescence.

With her love of music, Magdaline changed her name to Millicent Broadway and started pushing out videos to social media. She quickly amassed a following when she was just 13 years old. Eventually, she was asked to sign on to record labels that wanted to direct her and market her. Millicent, thanks to Valere's lessons, ensured she remained in creative control of her music and would only perform her own original songs. Harry helped a lot with the performance and routines, but Millicent grew even more popular, especially among young girls. By the age of 14 Millicent's music was trending and she was topping the charts. Performances sold out quickly and she went on tour, performing with some other notable names.

Millicent was riding high.

During one performance, a fan, one who had sent Millicent multiple letters professing his love for her and his desire to meet her, came to one of her shows. The man rushed the stage, outmaneuvering security until he got face-to-face with Millicent. Freaked out, she attempted to calm him down, offering to perform with him on stage. He screamed about how he wanted to be with her, how he wanted to have her all to himself, and when he noticed Millicent's reaction, she pulled out a knife and attempted to attack her.

As he did so, Millicent's powers manifested as she produced a force field around herself, protecting her from the knife. Once it fell, she turned invisible on stage and ran back as security came and tackled the man to the ground. The performance was quickly canceled, and all future dates were canceled and refunded.

News spread quickly despite attempts from multiple PR firms to change the story about Millicent's abilities. Though she carried a loyal fanbase, social media blew up with rumors of her powers, her secrets, and what she planned to do. Mutant distrust was still present.

During this time, Millicent's aunt Valerie visited often, comforting the girl and helping her train. Millicent, full of uncertainty and fear, followed her aunt's instructions and learned how to defend herself. The training sessions often got intense, so much so that her uncle Harry often had to intervene to get Valerie to stop, and with Valerie's partner Eva in tow, it was clear there was too much pressure from everyone.

It was during this time that her uncle Harry made a suggestion. She needed to learn how to manage her abilities as well as be in a place where she could be herself without fear. Having some knowledge of it, Harry recommended that Millicent attend Avenger's Academy and decide there what her future looked like. There she would be able to take hold of her powers and skills and make a future for herself. Millicent enrolled readily, knowing she had support behind her.

Though she often wondered where her mother was now.

Sabine discovered her powers very young when she got in trouble with her father. He was yelling at her for her poor schoolwork when she kept thinking, hoping he would forget about it. Sure enough, he stopped yelling and asked what she wanted from him. She showed him her grades again and he got upset, saying the same thing. She practiced again, willing him to forget, and he did. With practice, she was able to determine she could manipulate people's memories as well as see memories from objects or other people simply by touching them.

Born in Lyon, France, the Bassards were a wealthy, influential family with fingers in many pies that ranged from politics to the arts. Sabine was born as the only child and sole heir to their name until tragedy struck and Sabine lost her mother, Giselle, in an accident. Distraught and broken, Sabine's father, Remmy, threw himself into his work, where he met Cosette. The two fell in love and got married rather quickly. Cosette had two children of her own from a previous marriage. Sabine hated them all.

Remmy made the decision to move to the United States when Sabine was 12 years old. The transition was relatively easy as Sabine had learned English in school. She also made a name for herself being an attractive blonde girl. Sabine's family were often too busy to interact with her and left the children to be looked after by staff. This allowed Sabine the freedom to do what she wanted, often getting into trouble and needing her family's wealth to bail her out. It was during this free time that she discovered her powers of manipulating memories and seeing memories of the past.

Sabine used this power sparingly at first until she was attacked by a boy at school. She saved herself by causing the boy to forget who he was, which caused a panic attack leading to the boy being hospitalized. Rumors spread that she caused the attack. Unsatisfied that her reputation took such a hit, she researched other schools and found the Avengers Academy. She decided that she wanted to learn to control her powers to prevent dangers in the future. She auditioned for the school and got accepted. She took the opportunity to rebrand herself, never allowing others to know more about her than she intended.

Chase didn't so much as discover his powers as he did have them thrust upon him. He'd always been a bit of a problem child. Bullying others at school, skipping classes, and sneaking out at night past curfew. His relationship with his parents wasn't the best, and it was because of their views that he had a hard time accepting himself. One day as he went out, he was snagged by some people in an unmarked car. He attempted to fight and struggle as much as he could, but they had numbers and mass far beyond him. When he next woke up he was inside of a glass tube, muted voices could be heard as he floated suspended in a liquid with a respiratory attached to his mouth. The only view he had was a sterile white room with a multitude of equipment, strange jars, others in similar tanks, and a single photo of a girl on a desk in the far back. Her face was burned into his memory.

Chase had lost track of how long he'd been down there. Countless experiments being ran on him as he was poked, prodded, and injected with various things. They were trying to…create something. What he didn't know. Soon he got used to the feeling of pain, and the last experiment they'd done on him would seal those doctors' fates. Something clicked within him, the substance fused with him not only giving him powers he'd never had before but also awakening his X-gene that had refused to trigger so many times before. At once every machine began to fail as his powers jinxed each one and test subjects began to have their tanks drain. Darkness filled his, cracks forming as the growing pressure from inside became too much before it all shattered and came spilling forth.

Shadows clung to him like a cloak as he walked over to one of the doctors and asked him why. How had no one come to search for him? Did not one care? He told Chase his parents signed a consent form and that broke something in him. Tendrils lashed out at equipment, machines broke, beakers smashed, and not a single doctor was left to breath as he rampaged through the facility. Before long he broke through a wall of the building and left, his parents were his next mark.

Before his powers, before his life crashed before his very eyes in fits of anger and darkness, Chase was a relatively normal boy. Growing up he'd always felt a little different, he didn't know how to process that information and instead decided to lash out. His parents spoke of evils in this world, and he felt as though he may be one of them. When he found out a boy in his school had liked him, he didn't know how to feel. He'd always felt a certain way towards other guys in his school, his gaze lingering a little too long within the changing rooms for P.E. So when he found out a guy liked him instead, he did the only thing he knew how to do. The only way he could express his emotions. He lashed out.

Chase bullied him relentlessly for his height, the way he spoke, how he acted, dressed, just about anything he did would catch Chase's attention. Shoving him in lockers and trash cans, and finding new inventive ways to torture the short king merely because his existence made Chase feel so confused and small. Eventually that kid transferred out to a new school, Chase wouldn't find out however since that summer was the night he was abducted.

After his inevitable break out and the carnage that followed after, Chase found himself wandering alone the streets unsure of what to do, where to go. He felt numb yet free. That was when he ran into two other mutants, Morgan and PJ. Apparently Morgan had seen this event occur before it did and knew where he would be and they chose to take him in. He got some therapy, which allowed him to work through some of his internalized problems, and finally set forth to having him join a school to hone his powers.

Luna grew up in a lighthouse. Do you see where this is going? Anyways, she loved the ocean's sounds, the views and of course the animals. There was plenty of space to grow and run around for a child of the famous Captain Britain. During the summer of her tenth year, she was walking along the rocks that acted as a breaker for the waves when she slipped on a particularly slippery one and fell. She screamed—loudly—but no one heard her due to the roaring waves. She thought of her father and cried out to him over and over while the waves pulled her under. A telepathic wave went out, and Brain Braddock heard his daughter immediately before coming to her rescue. After, she was sent to Xavier’s school for Gifted Youngsters to be trained first before returning home six years later to be trained by her father.
