Xuby

Introduction xxxxxAn excitable, quirky personality, this telepath resembles a large, bipedal ant at a height of 5'1". As she was home-schooled from manifestation at twelve to the age of seventeen, Xuby is thrilled to attend the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. No secondary sex characteristics identify the mutant as female and Xuby's gender identity fluctuates between non-binary and female. Despite her outwards appearance, the greatest difficulty the student faces comes in the form of social interaction and her communication skills are currently in need of improvement. History xxxxx Skills xxxxxGrowing up with a single, working parent who preferred night shifts in order to teach her daughter during the day, Xuby has had her fair share of cooking ... experimentations. When one such as her is given free reign in a kitchen as a teenager, the results could end up being less than appetizing. Certainly to a more mature adult figure. Still, who couldn't go for chocolate syrup on a bagel or pears doused in Tabasco sauce? xxxxxDespite her mother's best efforts, Xuby ended up spending a lot of time alone as a teenager. Although her eyesight is poor, she does enjoy watching television and films and reading books. What's even more fun is acting them out. Xuby likes to think of herself as having a knack for acting even when a silent lead may prove difficult for most audiences to understand. Powers xxxxxTelepathy: Xuby has a low level of telepathy. It's great for communicating with bugs and insects, whose minds she can read and interact with. They don't always do her bidding, but sometimes they agree to help her out. Dealing with larger creatures, such as humans or other mutants, however is more of a difficulty requiring a fair amount of concentration and effort on her part. She is only capable of inserting thoughts or 'speaking' to other people and these thoughts come through in a broken pattern. Though she has learned some ASL, this is her main means of communicating. She can hear, but her physical manifestation has rendered her incapable of speech. xxxxxPhysical Manifestation: Xuby uses her two antennae to hear, taste, smell, and detect temperature changes. They have additionally heightened her olfactory sesnse above those of the typical human. The tree simple eyes one her forehead are capable of detecting changes in light polarization and assist in navigation, along with her antennae, so that she can easily backtrack along her most recent route. The wings on her back are capable of lifting her body off the ground although she has been very nervous to try this out and does not yet know how to fly properly. Xuby can spray formic acid from her behind. It comes out a different hole than other things, though, to be sure. She sometimes dilutes it for anti-septic purposes. Undiluted, it can be used to caused skin irritation. She also has a larger heart, necessary to pump blood throughout her larger form. She does not have the tubular heart that ants have, but her blood is clear. Connections Classmates Marinov Trivia Random facts you think are worth knowing about your character. And more random facts!
