Player: Annabelle
Given Name: Marcus Trent
Current Alias: Mika Tanaka
Codename: To be Determined
Age: 15
Height: 5'2
Weight: 109 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Emerald Green
Nationality: Japanese American

Occupation: Student (Freshman)
Appearance: Once, Mika was a young man, with unruly, tosseled brown hair, hazel eyes, and an impressively average teen build.... That was before the incidents that put him on the radar of the Academy's interests. Now Mika appears as a young Japanese American girl, of approximately the same age. She has coal black hair, cropped into a short bob cut, green eyes and very light, creamy-tan colored skin. Her current form is a good half a foot shorter, standing only 5'2 and weighing a mere 109 pounds. Over all, she has a slim build with adequate curves and a modest c-cup bust.


Personality: Marcus, or Mika, as her classmates will be introduced to her as, is very tomboyish. She tends towards being somewhat clumsy, though with regeneration, scrapes and bumps are of little concern. She's typically energetic and (tries to be, at least) fun to be around, but the recent changes to "her" lifestyle, coupled with recent events, have cuased her to become more withdrawn. It's not easy attending a strange new school, one can only imagine doing so in a strange new body as well. Prior to discovering her mutant abilities, she had some very normal hobbies. Video Games, Schoolwork, and hanging with her small circle of friends numbered her top three priorities. These are unlikely to change.
Background: Marcus was born to a middle class family, and the youngest of three siblings. Thus far he has been the only one to show any sign of X-gene mutation. Born and raised in the suburbs of New York, Marcus never really wanted for anything, at least necessity wise. She might not have gotten everything she wanted, but it was a good childhood. That was before the incident. While on holiday with her family over the summer break, her father was attacked by a bear while out hiking during a camping trip. This was the first manifestation of her powers, healing the wounds that would likely have killed him. Being Anti-Mutant, this created a bit of turmoil between father and son, but was kept secret from the rest of the family. This rift was short lived, over the coming weeks the use of her powers alerted other organizations of her existance. While the academy would likely choose a more diplomatic means of recruiting, some parties would rather resort to more dispicable acts. An Anti-Mutant riot, after yet another super powered battle, on a witchhunt would deveastate his home and nearly kill his family. This was the first time Marcus fully tapped the Power Cosmic, saving his families lives, and those of the mob, when the more militant mutant group interceded violently to conviently "save" him from the surprisingly organized mob. The hostilities came to an end abruptly however, as Marcus's desperate reach for the Power Cosmic to protect them resulted in an explosion that leveled nearly half a block. Strangely, no one was hurt, and many woke up the next morning healthier then the night before. Once he "faded" out the group lost his trail.. it took nearly a month for Marcus to rematerialize in her new body... Completely alone, lost, with an entirely new face, and no way to prove ones identity.

Hit Points - ??
Mental Health - ??

Resources: Poor
Source of Income: With Mika's family unaware of her survival of events, she is reliant upon the school for everything, effectively "orphaned" by her own power, as her family would no longer recognize her.
Origin of Powers: X-Gene Mutation
Source: The Power Cosmic

Powers:
Cosmic Regeneration - Mika regenerates at a rapid pace, allowing her to recover from wounds quickly, even from death itself. Like all of her X-Gene abilities, this regeneration stems from cosmic energy. Her wounds fill with a strange white light that crackles aubibly, flesh and bone seeming to rematerialize rather regrow. Should death claim her truely, her body disappates, burning away into the crackling white light and rebuilds itself a new, though often randomizing many of the active genetic sequences as it does. As a result, each "death" Mika experiances reinforces her ability to draw on the Power Cosmic, but at the cost of his/her identity each time. In addition, each time she "Reincarnates" her physical conditioning may change to suit the new body, but her mental abilities seem to remain relatively intact. Genetically, his DNA is mutable and changes with each incarnation, though the specific X-Gene responsible remains identical and unique, and is the only really telling evidence of his identity.
Cosmic Control: Mika is attuned to the Power Cosmic, as such she can consciously draw on it to produce a myriad of effects, (Though many are unknown to her at this time.)
Healing Surge: Mika can use the Power Cosmic to heal the injuries of others at a rapid rate. It's the simplest and easiest conscious use of her powers she can manifest.
Cosmic Shockwave: An offensive ability that produces a short cone-shaped blast of raw and undisciplined cosmic force.
Barrier Aura: A defensive ability that produces a small sphere of undisciplined cosmic force that can be used to shield herself and others from harm.

The Entity Cosmic - The Power Cosmic is a powerful and dangerous force, especially so to those unaware of it's dangers. Perhaps that is why Marcus has such difficulty tapping into it, a mental safeguard of sorts, subconsciously limiting what he can do with it. Regardless, during periods of extreme emotional highs, Marcus can draw on the full well spring of The Power Cosmic. Entering a state where the cosmic energies flow through him undiluted and raw. The sheer potential of this form discards his physical flesh, burning it away as it springs forth through him. In this state, Marcus becomes more powerful in all aspects. Perhaps even powerful enough to contend with the Silver Surfer himself. It comes with a cost however, his physical body can't withstand the raw, unfiltered might of the power cosmic and requires him to fully reincarnate into a new existance. Further, the taxing nature of the ability itself and the abilities grants access to cuases a sort of burn out. Rematerializing into a physical body takes time, days, months, perhaps even years. Marcus has only demonstrated this ability once and this event is the real begining of his story..
Unknown Potential - Mika taps into the very energies of the Power Cosmic, as such his potential abilities are to various to detail.
Resistances and Immunities:
Immunity: Aging, Poisons, Diseases, Suffocation, Fatigue - Once fully "Grown" Mika's regenerating abilites will stave off aging potentially indefinately. In addition, her regenerative abilities provide a few benefits passively. They render poisons and diseases ineffective, Prevent her from dying from suffocation, and give her a nearly inexhaustable amount of energy.
Nullification: The Power Cosmic is nearly impossible to supress, and nullifying her abilities is particularly difficult. Her regeneration and reincarnation are innate abilities and can be weakened, but not irradicated. Her other abilities require some measure of conscious direction and control, thus can be interferred with, though are still more difficult then nullifying those of mutants of equal power.

Contacts: None

Knowledges: Knows what most 15 year old teenage boys know, nothing.

Skills: Great at video games without using her powers to gain an edge.


Notable Notes: Mika's particular X-gene is the only genetic marker that can be tested for to determine her identity.

Hair: Black Blonde

Nationality: Japanese Russian American

Occupation: Student (Freshman)

Appearance: Once, Mika was a young man, with unruly, tousled brown hair, hazel eyes, and an impressively average teen build.... That was before the incidents that put him on the radar of the Academy's interests. Now Mika appears as a young Japanese American girl, of approximately the same age. She has coal black hair, cropped into a short bob cut, green eyes and very light, creamy-tan colored skin. Her current form is a good half a foot shorter, standing only 5'2 and weighing a mere 109 pounds. Over all, she has a slim build with adequate curves and a modest c-cup bust. Mischa is a bit taller than Mika and a touch more robust, but still slender. She has fair skin and silky blonde hair, big blue eyes and a couple of freckles. Her chest is certainly no longer modest, and the rest of her isn't either because her current body does not care for the Los Angeles temperatures.

She took the name Mika, and ended up as a student at the school. Later she swallowed a bomb to save Ryu and Chester, resulting in her second death. She soon reformed as Mischa.

Origin of Powers: Mutant


Powers:
Power Cosmic Channeling - Marcus channels The Power Cosmic at Spectacular(50) rank, but unless otherwise written he controls it at Feeble(4).
The Entity Cosmic - The Power Cosmic is a powerful and dangerous force, especially so to those unaware of its dangers. Perhaps that is why Marcus has such difficulty tapping into it, a mental safeguard of sorts, subconsciously limiting what he can do with it. Regardless, during periods of extreme emotional highs, Marcus can draw on the full well spring of The Power Cosmic. Entering a state where the cosmic energies flow through him undiluted and raw. The sheer potential of this form discards his physical flesh, burning it away as it springs forth through him. In this state, Marcus becomes more powerful in all aspects. Perhaps even powerful enough to contend with the Silver Surfer himself. It comes with a cost however, his physical body can't withstand the raw, unfiltered might of the power cosmic and requires him to fully reincarnate into a new existence. Further, the taxing nature of the ability itself and the abilities grants access to causes a sort of burn out. Rematerializing into a physical body takes time, days, months, perhaps even years. Marcus has only demonstrated this ability once and this event is the real beginning of his story.
SYSTEM: Spectacular(50). This ability takes effect when Marcus dies. He can also try to force it by rolling Willpower; on a Yellow he changes on his next turn. The Entity Cosmic is an energy form that overrides all other powers. In this form, Marcus rolls Spectacular(50) to perform any action he desires; GM decides if he can do something. He cannot use this power to increase his Psyche score. If Marcus starts a round in this form, he gets -1CS to Psyche at the beginning of his turn. When his Psyche is depleted, he fades away and is dead.
*When Marcus takes any damage in this form, instead of losing hit points, he loses a single CS of Psyche. He may only lose one Psyche rank per turn from any attacker.
*Cosmic Resurrection - When The Entity Cosmic form fades, this ability is triggered. Un unpredictable amount of time later, Marcus will appear in a new body, either in the vicinity of somewhere he recognized as 'safe' at the time of his death, or just in the vicinity of where he died. Roll 1d6+2 to determine the CS of each Fighting, Agility, Strength, and Fortitude. Mental attributes do not change. Marcus's mind and memories are preserved, as is the way he uses the Power Cosmic as a mortal. His age also does not change.
*Material Vessel - Ever since his first 'death' Marcus's body has been merely a front, and an anchor for the powers. Determine his HP as if his physical stats each equaled his 'Entity Cosmic' rating. Additionally, he will not starve, suffocate, drown, freeze, or decompress. While his body will mature, it will not take negative effects of aging. Normal diseases and toxins will not affect him, although engineered or extremely alien things may. Marcus's body gets tired and sleeps per normal.
**Cosmic Regeneration - The body regenerates at a rapid pace; 5 points per turn. However, if it is missing 20 or more hit points, the wounds fill with a crackling white light as they heal.
Note: The powers of the vessel; the immunity and the regeneration; they are the Power Cosmic protecting an investment. They do not set off sensors that detect mutant powers in use.
*Soul Tether - An undefined part of Marcus's being is linked to his powers. This means he does not need any of his mass to continue to exist and to resurrect. This also means there can only be one 'true' Marcus at any given time; a clone will have the gene but the Power Cosmic will not connect to it as long as that part of Marcus exists. In the invent of interdimensional shenanigans, all Marci have their power divided by the total number.


Cosmic Control: Marcus expresses the Power Cosmic in a very limited way; much like any other X-factor the potential is limited by his perceptions. The powers do not change between incarnations unless Marcus somehow loses his personal identity. Cosmic Control is at Incredible(40) level.
*Cosmic Shockwave- An offensive ability that produces a short cone-shaped blast of raw and undisciplined cosmic force. This does Fantastic(30) damage and can hit one target up to 90 feet away or all targets in a 40-foot cone. This damage can only be resisted by defenses that explicitly state 'all damage'.
*Positive Energy- Marcus produces a healing energy that regenerates damage, Unusually, this power works on virtually anything, even damaged machines and structures. He has an Incredible(40) ability to heal by touching something for a full round. He can touch someone briefly as an action for Remarkable(20) healing, though a given person can only benefit from this once per round. He can use either of the abilities on his current body and needs not roll to touch himself. This is considered 'positive energy' for things that react poorly to such powers.
**Healidoo Laser- As a ranged attack, Marcus can fire out a beam of positive energy of Good(10) intensity. Unlike his touch, a single person can benefit from multiple hits per round.
**Radical Energy Blast- Marcus can produce a bolt of positive energy that is so energetic it is more disruptive than healing, and actually damages things. These ranged attacks do Fantastic(30) Energy Damage. Unfortunately, they are horrible against armor - double the effect of any applicable armor before applying damage. This that take damage from positive energy take double damage from radical energy.
**Radical Energy Scythe- Marcus makes a coherent extension of radical energy about six inches long from his fingertips. It looks like a stiletto, but when he swings it it leaves a long, visible trail of glowing energy that resembles the blade of a scythe. This is a melee attack for Amazing(60) damage. The energy behaves the same as the Radical Energy Blast.
*Energy Fields- Marcus can create planes of glowing white energy. This looks like his positive energy, but is neutral and will not have any effect on things it touches.
**Light Screen- Instead of dodging, Mika can throw up a thin field of energy between herself and an attack. This halves the damage of the attack. If the attack has an Armor Piercing rating, that amount of damage gets through and the remainder is halved. If Mika has an action and initiative, she may throw a Light Screen up for someone else, but this does not take away their option to dodge.
*Barrier Field- A defensive ability that produces a transparent sphere of force. Instead of rolling a dodge, Marcus can roll Fantastic(30) to resist an attack. The sphere is of Fantastic(30) intensity. Based on the outcome, that much damage is removed from the incoming attack; the sphere Protects Marcus and everything within 5 feet of him. Marcus may spend an action to raises the sphere to protect someone within its vicinity if the attack does not threaten him; he can also spend actions to raises the sphere additional times against a single attack.
**Force Field- Marcus can make a field of energy up to teen feet wide by ten feet wide. This field glows, but cannot be seen through. On a Yellow roll to create, it has Incredible(40) Hit Points. It remains intact until it has zero hit points. Mika can 'heal' it, but not above its original HP. She can also create it 'folded', doubling its HP in exchange for half its area (a 10x5 field with 80 HP or a 5x5 with 160). If it has to support something, it has Strength equal to its current number of hit points, and if it takes more weight than it can hold it will break.
*Matter/Energy Conversion- Marcus can concert an extremely small amount of matter into energy. This results in an explosion, mostly kinetic with lots of light and a little heat. As an action, he can roll Cosmic Control in combat against the opponent's Strength. If he wins, the opponent is knocked out of melee range from Marcus, if possible. Guarantee void against oversized opponents.
**Flashbang- By extending his palm, Marcus can create an explosion of light and sound. This affects everyone in a hemisphere in front of him, with a radius equal to his Cosmic Control. There is no roll for the attack, but it is a full-round action. and everyone in the area is deafened and blinded, temporarily. The duration is 1/10th his Cosmic Control in rounds. Victims can roll Agility to avoid the effect, or Psyche or Endurance to half it. They need a Yellow or better in either case. people who are already blind and deaf are not affected by this.
**Conversion Catapult- Marcus can create a small localized explosion to launch himself in a direction - up to his Cosmic Control in feet. There is no roll to aim, but he must roll Agility to avoid landing prone. He can make multiple explosions midair to get more distance or change direction, but each one gives -2CS to the roll to land safely.


Nullification Resistance.- The Power Cosmic is one of the few things more powerful than what powers V-Gene Nullification devices. Treat these effects as 2CS weaker when they attempt to affect Marcus.


Weaknesses:

Marcus Polo- People hunting for Marcus can pick him out with this one weird trick; simply hollar out his original name, and instinctively he will look over in recognition. He may roll Psyche to avoid this but he needs a Yellow not to react.

Cosmic Faucet- 'The Power Cosmic' is not, truly, Marcus's ability. His X-Factor simply allows him to access that, and without his powers, the Power Cosmic has nothing to do with him. His Material Vessel becomes a mortal body.

Contacts: The school.

Knowledges: Knows what most 16 year old teenage boys know, nothing.


Skills: Great at video games without using her powers to gain an edge.


Notable Notes: Marcus's particular X-gene is the only genetic marker that can be tested for to determine his identity.
