|Amina Mansouri|FC: Imaan Hammam|17|Pansexual|Manipulation of Earth and Plants|



Personality}
Amina radiates authenticity, concern and altruism, unafraid to stand up and speak when she feels something needs to be said. She finds it natural and easy to communicate with others, especially in person, and her intuitive nature helps her to reach almost everyone, be it through facts and logic or raw emotion. She easily sees people's motivations and is able to bring these ideas together and communicate them as a common goal with eloquence. The interest she has in others is genuine, almost to a fault – when she believes in someone, she can become too involved in the other person's problems, place too much trust in them. Luckily, this trust tends to be a self-fulfilling prophesy, as her authenticity inspires those she cares about to become better themselves. But if she isn't careful, she can overextend her optimism, sometimes pushing others further than they're ready or willing to go. She’s vulnerable to another snare as well: she has a tremendous capacity for reflecting on and analyzing her own feelings, but if she get too caught up in another person's issues, she can develop a sort of emotional hypochondria, seeing other people's problems in herself, trying to fix something in herself that isn't wrong. If she gets to a point where she’s held back by limitations someone else is experiencing, it can hinder her ability to see past the problem and be of any help at all. When this happens, it's important for her to pull back and use that self-reflection to distinguish between what she really feels, and what is a separate issue that needs to be looked at from another perspective. She is a genuine, caring person, and nothing makes her happier than leading the charge, uniting and motivating her team with infectious enthusiasm. She is a passionate altruist, sometimes even to a fault, and she is unlikely to be afraid to take the hate for the people and ideas she believe in. Amina wants to lead the way to a brighter future.

Mutant Name: Hemlock


History}
Yassine Mansouri came to America with the intents of presenting himself as a "company man", masking his mutations and taking himself and his family. However, very soon, he began to get involved with money laundering, cleaning the money from drug running, extortion, gambling, and prostitution discreetly through the company he worked for. In no time at all he became a rather high ranked member of a local mutant-supremacist gang. He was well respected and trusted, able to kill when ordered for the sake of the success of his family. With the passing of his boss, Yassine soon became a boss himself. His wife Nada, concerned with his actions, left him. Assuming that she left him because of his mutations he had her killed. He then raised his only child, Amina, in the ways of controlling her mutations.

When she was young, Amina loved to spend time with her father, learning to fight and wrestle and how to trick people into doing what she wanted. She also had loved gardening with her mother, learning to control her grasp on the earth. Despite her father's prejudice against all humans, Amina never truly understood the need for an "us" and "them". After all, it was only genetics. However, there was an incident in high school, her classmates tended to make fun of her, her accent and her features and mutation. One day, she snapped. She took aside the boys who had been insulting her, and then fought back. Though she was appalled by her loss of control, her father was proud of her. She was "following in his footsteps". That was when she decided to run before the situation got worse. She ran and sought help from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Though she's a student there now, she aspires to become one of the X-Men.

You're back! Thanks bb! I adore this FC.

(I love her mutant outfit design!)

Thanks! I tried to find the marvel one that I've used before and came across that one. It'll suck because it can't do guys, but... I might just put the costume on a girl model anyways, since I just need it for reference.

|Benoit "Ben" Sarkozi|FC: Adrian Sahores|18|Asexual Homoromantic|Transformation into Mist and Control over Shadows|



Personality}
Ben's focused on making the world a better place for people. His primary goal is to find out the meaning in his life. What is his purpose? How can he best serve humanity in his life? He's an idealist and perfectionist, who drives himself hard in his quest for achieving the goals he has identified for himself. He's highly intuitive about people.He relies heavily on intuition to guide him, and uses discoveries to constantly search for value in life. He is on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through Ben's value system, and is looked at to see if it has any potential to help him define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - Ben is driven to help people and make the world a better place. Generally thoughtful and considerate, Ben is a good listener and is good at putting people at ease. Although he may be reserved in expressing emotion, he has a very deep well of caring and is genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making Ben a valued friend and confidante. He can be quite warm with people he knows well. Ben doesn't really like unnecessary, trivial conflict, and go to lengths to avoid it. If he must face it, he approaches it from the perspective of his feelings. On the other hand, Ben makes a very good mediator, and is typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because he intuitively understand people's perspectives, and genuinely want to help them. He's flexible and laid-back, until one of his values is violated. In the face of their beliefs being threatened, Ben can become aggressive, fighting passionately for his cause. When he has adopted a project or job which he's interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for him. Although he is not a detail-oriented individual, he'll cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for the "cause". While he doesn't like to deal with hard facts and logic, he has had to in his life. He doesn't really get impersonal judgment, which makes him kind of ineffective at using it. Ben has very high standards and is a perfectionist. Consequently, he's usually hard on himself and doesn't give himself enough credit. He has problems working in a group, because his standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In those kinds of situations, he tends to have a control problem. He's at his best in situations where he's working towards the public good, and in which he doesn't need to use hard logic.
