[COLOR=darkgray][color=#C0392B][b]◼ OPTIC BLASTS[/b][/color]
Scott's eyes emit powerful concussive beams of ruby-coloured force. This is an involuntary ability, his eyes produce the beams constantly and cannot be switched off through conscious effort, a consequence of neurological damage that prevents his brain from naturally processing and absorbing the energy. The beams are not heat-based but purely concussive, and Scott has developed precise control over their width, intensity and focus despite their involuntary nature.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#C0392B][b]◼ ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY[/b][/color]
Scott's mutation grants him a degree of physical resilience beyond a standard human baseline, allowing him to withstand the physical strain of channelling his optic blasts without lasting damage to himself.[/color][/sup]

The only reliable means of containing Scott's optic blasts. The visor is fitted with ruby quartz lenses that absorb the energy his eyes constantly produce, releasing it in a controlled beam only when the trigger is engaged. Without it Scott keeps his eyes shut to prevent uncontrolled discharge.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#27AE60][b]◼ TELEPATHY[/b][/color]
Jean possesses the ability to read, project into, and influence the minds of others. This power was suppressed by Professor Xavier during her early development and has only recently become active, meaning she is still learning to filter and direct it. At present she experiences the thoughts of those around her as an overwhelming and near-constant noise, though her raw potential in this area is considered extraordinary even among other telepaths.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#27AE60][b]◼ TELEKINESIS[/b][/color]
Jean can move and manipulate objects and people with the force of her mind. This ability is combat-ready and precise at smaller scales, though at its upper limits it becomes harder to contain and direct. At the peak of her demonstrated ability she has produced a fusion of her telepathy and telekinesis simultaneously, projecting psychic force in ways that go beyond either discipline in isolation.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#2980B9][b]◼ SUPERHUMAN PHYSIQUE[/b][/color]
Hank's mutation grants him strength, agility and reflexes considerably beyond a standard human baseline. At this stage of his development his body still appears broadly human in proportion, but his physical capabilities in close quarters are substantial, with his agility and coordination in particular being exceptional.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#F39C12][b]◼ WINGED FLIGHT[/b][/color]
Warren's mutation produced a large pair of feathered wings capable of sustaining flight at significant speed and altitude. His physiology is adapted to support this, with a lightweight but durable bone structure and enhanced eyesight suited to aerial navigation. The wings are strong enough to be used offensively in close combat as well as for travel, and Warren has developed considerable skill in using them tactically in both capacities.[/color][/sup]

Warren carries a bow as a ranged combat option, allowing him to engage targets from altitude in situations where his wings alone are insufficient.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#AED6F1][b]◼ CRYOKINESIS[/b][/color]
Bobby has comprehensive control over ice and temperature, capable of generating and shaping ice in virtually any form he can conceive of. He can lower the ambient temperature of his immediate environment, encase objects or opponents in ice, and construct structures of considerable size and complexity. The theoretical ceiling of this ability places him in a rare category of mutant whose power at its maximum is genuinely difficult to quantify or contain.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#AED6F1][b]◼ ICE ARMOUR[/b][/color]
Bobby can coat himself in a shell of solid ice that serves as both armour and a means of physical augmentation, enhancing his strength and durability in direct confrontations while protecting him from damage.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#AED6F1][b]◼ MOISTURE MANIPULATION[/b][/color]
Beyond generating ice directly Bobby can manipulate the moisture already present in the air around him, flash-freezing it to create constructs, projectiles or a surface he can travel across at speed.[/color][/sup]

Scott has demonstrated a natural aptitude for battlefield command from an early age, able to assess threats rapidly, coordinate team members and adapt strategy under pressure. Even among more experienced fighters he is instinctively deferred to as a field leader.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#C0392B][b]◼ COMBAT TRAINING[/b][/color]

Even before her telepathy fully manifested, Jean possessed a natural attunement to the emotional states of those around her, an instinctive empathy that now feeds directly into her developing telepathic range and nuance.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#27AE60][b]◼ FORCE OF WILL[/b][/color]
Jean's ability to push through psychic strain and external mental pressure, even when her powers are unstable or being actively suppressed, points to an exceptional degree of mental resilience that appears to be intrinsic rather than trained.[/color][/sup]

Hank possesses one of the most formidable scientific minds on the planet, with expertise spanning biology, genetics, physics and engineering. He applies this intellect with a methodical rigour that makes him as dangerous in a laboratory as he is in the field.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]
[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=#2980B9][b]◼ ARCANE STUDY[/b][/color]
Alongside his scientific disciplines Hank has developed a working practical knowledge of magic, studying arcane principles and incantation with the same systematic approach he applies to his science. His ability to combine these two disciplines gives him a problem-solving range that is genuinely unusual.[/color][/sup]
[color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]

Bobby's approach to his powers is notably instinctive rather than methodical, generating novel applications and constructs in the moment rather than through prior planning. This natural inventiveness gives his fighting style an unpredictability that more rigidly trained opponents struggle to anticipate.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]The original five X-Men, [color=#C0392B]Scott Summers[/color], [color=#27AE60]Jean Grey[/color], [color=#2980B9]Hank McCoy[/color], [color=#F39C12]Warren Worthington[/color] and [color=#AED6F1]Bobby Drake[/color],  from the earliest days of the Xavier Institute have found themselves in a time not their own. The five oldest students of the Xavier Institute were not brought forward in time. They were taken.

The signal that tore them from their own era bore no resemblance to anything in Charles Xavier's laboratory. It came without warning, without consent, and without the careful theoretical scaffolding that underpins sanctioned time displacement. One moment they were where they belonged. The next they were not, arriving in a present that greeted them not with confusion or cautious welcome but with immediate and overwhelming violence.

Their captor was a machine that called itself Nimrod, a sentinel intelligence originating from a dimension in which the merger of human consciousness and artificial dominion was on the verge of completion, prevented only by the continued efforts of the few lingering mutants and their ability to wield the Phoenix Force and reform time itself with the many deaths of Moira. Nimrod had studied the timelines with the patience of something that did not experience time the way its targets did, and it had reached a precise and clinical conclusion: that the five were more dangerous in potential than most were in fact. That the most efficient solution was to remove them before that potential could be realised. Thus, the X-Men of days past have been pulled forwards into this, largely irrelevant (by Nimrod's opinion) time and dimension to be dealt with swiftly.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Quite simply I have wanted to write the Timelost X-Men for some time and the opportunity has never really arisen. With current players being up for it I'd like to dive into a rewrite of their origin. This focuses on my favourite aspects of the Orchis plotline, that of the eventual conversion of humanity by the sentinels themselves into Posthumans, with the end goal of joining with the Dominion. As with many things, by seeking to use time to prevent one of the final roadblocks, Nimrod will create the means of their own defeat as is often the case with comic time travel stories.[/INDENT][/COLOR]
