There was an earth-shaking thud as a dragon far larger than the other ones landed near them. He was a massive creature, easily three times the size of most of the dragons there. The dragons and their riders would recognize him as Kalamadea, one of the few dragons there with a truly draconic name, as he was not named by Men. As was normal for him, his physical voice rang out in speech, and it was directed towards Dynamis. "Now, there's no need for such drastic measures, Dynamis. There are other ways to warm everyone." He lay down and lifted a claw, flame erupted over it as he deposited the fireball on the ground. It lifted a few inches above the ground and remained there, despite the fact that there was no wood for it to burn. The rain hissed as it fell into the flame, but the fire didn't go out. "Now would be a good time to get some rest. We won't get much farther with this storm raging, anyway. It's getting too severe for us to fly."
Laurie, who was one of the oldest present within the bunker, sat near where Scattershot and Beast were talking about what to do. She'd already seen the conversation's result, of course, but it was still interesting to listen to. She was still feeling frustration at not seeing last week's attack coming, but such feelings weren't voiced. Laurie never really shared her feelings all too often.It was, after all, a well known fact that she was quiet and reserved, but not exactly shy at the same time. Suddenly, she glimpsed that Steve would be waking soon, so she abruptly got up and went to the medical bay. She opened it and saw Steve standing right in the doorway, reaching for where the doorknob used to be. She had, of course, expected that. "So how are you feeling? Better?" Not that she didn't already know the answer, but she had to ask that question to make that future happen. Plus, it would probably help him feel a bit better to have someone show concern for him. Laurie was concerned for him, though, just as she was concerned for just about everyone there.
Thanks. Admittedly, it was kind of tricky to do because of Laurie's temporal awareness.
You didn't have to edit it. A simple indication here that he noticed would be fine.
I've changed my mind about sticking Kalama in here. I'm trying to reduce my usage of him to vary my character roster a little more.
I really can't seem to find Aadab's sheet even through Google search. I have a bookmark, but I'm still not sure how to get to a cached page.
Also, in case you can use it, here's the link the bookmark contains.

Just PM it to me to maintain the secrecy for others. Laurie's already seen it, anyway, lol, since her sight isn't based on memories.
Didn't even realize this was up. I'll get a sheet up as soon as I can.
I have reworked the sheet, as I felt the original version was a bit too skimpy on the description of her powers. I'm also including how her powers will develop as she gains more control of them.
Name: Laurie
Alias: Sage
Age: About 40 (appears to be in her late 20's to early 30's)
Power: Temporal Awareness
Sage can see all possible futures, as well as all alternate pasts and presents. The more immediate the future, the more similar to other futures it becomes. Futures mere seconds from occurring deviate in only minuscule ways, making them indiscernible from one another.
Temporal Affinity
Because of her familiarity with time, her body also became accustomed to the flow of time. Because of this, her aging has been slowed slightly ever since birth. As such, she aged about 25% of the speed that a human does. As her sense was trained, with all the resistance it gave to such a thing, her affinity also became higher. Right now, she ages at about 20% of the speed at which a human ages.
Weaknesses: More distant futures are more varied, making it difficult to predict them accurately. The farthest she could accurately predict is about two to three days, after which point futures become very difficult to predict accurately. And even though she can see two to three days in advance, doing so leaves her exhausted. Also, as of right now, she can only see the timeline of her local surroundings, with a maximum range of about 500 feet. It's not that she can't see beyond 500 feet, it's just that it's so chaotic beyond that range that she just shuts out all sensory input beyond that range. She is also currently unable to figure out which present is actually occurring if the area the present applies to is outside of her physical sight, which is 20/20 like a perfectly healthy human. She also lacks all forms of enhanced physiology beyond temporal awareness, so she is every bit as physically vulnerable as a human.
Developments of Power: The temporal awareness will, of course, become better able to predict farther into the future as she goes. However, she will also gain range until she can see all of time, which will mean all pasts, presents, and futures for all of space. She will also be able to eventually see all of time on a multiversal level. Of course, seeing all of time and being able to cope with it will take a long time. Being able to see all of time will also mean having a similar effect to omni-vision, but she would have difficulty picking out which present is actually occurring if it's not within range of her physical sight. As she becomes more familiar with her temporal awareness, her temporal affinity will also become higher, causing her aging to continually slow until it completely halts. At the rate she's currently gaining temporal affinity, her aging will likely halt in her 50's or early 60's, with her physical age being in her mid to late 30's.

BRIEF Bio: Laurie's time sense initially was not present. The gene was dormant until the age of 32. It was five years of being barraged with. Before the gene surfaced, her life was rather average and kind of dull. She spent time at Xavier's Academy learning more advanced subjects than most high schools teach as well as how to focus her time sense, but the sense was so powerful that, even with three years of rigorous training, little, if any, progress was made. It continually evaded all attempts at control and focusing it. When the chaos (which she failed to predict until it was unavoidable) ensued, they had made sufficient progress that she could predict two or three days in the future accurately, but she was exhausted by the action.
Notes: I changed it up a bit, since in the state she was upon acceptance she was a bit useless.
Relationship Sheet: Laurie (Sage) - Distant, Withdrawn, Kindly - 35
F - Friend, E - Enemy, N - Neutral, L - Love Interest
A quick thought on each as to how you view them, your opinion of said character as well as their relationship listed above^^^
General Thoughts (this one statement applies to all she meets): It's rather difficult for me to really decide if I like someone or not. Seeing all of their possible futures as well as their pasts makes it hard to really gauge them as a person, since I see both the good and bad futures for all people, even myself. Whether they know it or not, I know the entirety of all of their pasts, even what they themselves have forgotten. I also can't really risk friendships, not when some (while few) futures have those people dying just hours in the future.
Pyra - Sarina Saunders: Her confidence masks the pain of her past. Poor thing, to have discovered her powers in such a violent way. I can't think she'll ever fully appreciate her powers because of that. Her futures are mixed, basically equally divided between good and bad. I want to be her friend, I really do. But I just can't bring myself to try to start a friendship when I'd be constantly thinking about how any of her futures could come true. -N
Bass - Caleb Idlett: He's very outgoing, I'll give him that. He's also a very nice person, and I see many futures where he and Heidi are very happy together. I only wish I could block the parts of his past that should remain private. -N
Raiix - Shuya 'Steve' Denzan: He has an interesting and useful power, but I feel sorry for him that he can't ever go swimming. It also pains me that he lost his memory when he was four. I've told him if he wants to know what his life was like before the memory loss, I would tell him, but he seemed a bit freaked out by the idea that I could see every aspect of his past. I do understand why he'd feel that way, but it still upsets me a little. -N/F
Elixir - Aaron 'X': His power has a lot of potential for abuse, but he seems to not have any desire to abuse it. His past saddens me. Having to live on the streets made him a bit shy, but at least the other students have helped him overcome that. -N
Prodigy - Heidi Williams: It must be tough being hyperintelligent among people with mostly average intellects. She seems to love learning. If only I could share my time sense and show her future scientific theories to chew on. I bet she'd enjoy that. -N
Scattershot - Jacob Jones: He's very likable, but I still can't seem to bring myself to risk a friendship. -N
Eye Spy - Jay Redmond: I really don't know what to think of him. I know I can invade on private space, but I can't really shut that out. He has the potential to do so on purpose, which, knowing him, he probably does. I'm not sure if I like him all that much. -N/E
Chimera - James Venture: I'm really not sure what to think of him. We haven't really encountered each other that often, but he did seem to have a good life before coming to the mansion. -N
Animus - Zhayne Spencer: He's very easy to get along with, which is amazing considering his past was so tough. I can't imagine why people could outright hate mutants, nor could I ever imagine it. I respect him for coping with his past so well. -N/F
Sage - Laurie: It's tough coping with seeing all of time at once. My mind is so chaotic even I'm surprised I haven't gone totally insane yet. I still can't be sure which futures will occur, but in the time I've lived with it, I've found a way to filter out the noise that's constantly raging in my mind. Hopefully, I can find a way to accurately predict this timeline, but, knowing how time actually works, I fear I'll only ever be able guess at it.
Odin - John Smith: I've seen his past, and I really don't like this man. Others obviously respect him for coping with his disability, or are merely wary of him or lack trust for him, but they haven't seen the contents of his notebook as he wrote in it. He's been finding ways to take us out, and while I know it's a sensible thing to figure out, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He lets his past hatred of mutants get in the way far too often for my liking. Thus far, he hasn't taken note of ways to take me down, though I kind of doubt he'd find a way to surprise me. -E
V for Vanquish - Jeanvieve "Vivi" Monceux: She's from a magical ancestry, which intrigues me. I really haven't spoken to her that much, but her past seems pretty forgiving as far as mutations go. -N

Why not make it just supernatural luck? I mean, a who has nothing else going for him other than he's the luckiest sonofabitch you'll ever meet. Might be interesting and let's be honest. With that much luck... The fuck else do you NEED?
Exactly! Just look at Zee Captein from Romantically Apocalyptic, for example. He's the luckiest man on Earth and he never, ever gets hurt no matter how much danger he's in. He was in the middle of a burning building, sleeping on a bed that appeared to be sliding off the floor, but it was caught on something that kept it from continuing to slide off and the floor he was on never buckled.
