Fiona

Page subtitle
Introduction xxxxxA mutant born in Seattle, Taylor Marinov is a student at Xavier's who is trying to find a place they fit in. History xxxxxUnlike many other mutants, Fiona was born with her mutation. One might think that, given her red skin, yellow eyes, and tail, her parents, family, heck the whole town might have abandoned her. She was born in Small Town, Flyover Country, USA after all.So it was odd when the threats started coming in. Letters left in her locker, to her family. Leave town, or else. People were appalled. Nobody took responsibility. Who hated them? Why? Rumors swirled about strange faces seen around town, asking questions they probably should not have been. xxxxxThis didn't really happen though. In fact, Fiona lived a rather idyllic life in that small town. Her dad was a well respected doctor - not rich but well enough off. Her mother, a school teacher. Fiona herself was the second of two kids, with an older brother. xxxxxShe spent most of her time reading, fishing, and generally just goofing off with other local kids and her brother - blissfully mostly unaware of what was going on in the nation at large. She was even in the school band! Yea, some kind of registration act? Didn't seem like a big deal.%r%r xxxxxIn a town like hers, everyone knew everyone and most people were careful to keep the mutant in their midst on the downlow. People in general, especially in the rural Midwest, were NOT so accepting. They knew this. xxxxxSo it was odd when the threats started coming in. Letters left in her locker, to her family. Leave town, or else. People were appalled. Nobody took responsibility. Who hated them? Why? Rumors swirled about strange faces seen around town, asking questions they probably should not have been. xxxxxThen suddenly, the evening after a big football game with another town, it happened. Upon arriving home, her house was strangely dark. She entered, and heard a metallic click and something cold against her head. xxxxxThat's a good freak. Don't you go moving now, trash, a gruff voice spoke.%r%rFiona was filled with panic, shaking.%r%r xxxxxA click and the lights went on, revealing two masked men with guns, one holding her father at gunpoint. Easy does it, girly. We're here to help. We're working on a cure- the thug began, before being interrupted by Fiona's dad. xxxxxBullshit! You lay one hand on my daughter and Ill kill you! Being a mutants not some disease! You can't 'cure it! Being held at gunpoint, he lunged for the thug closest to him. A shot rang out; blood seeped from a wound on his chest. xxxxxTime seemed to stop for a minute, and it looked like the two gunmen had never considered actually shooting anybody. Jesus man, you weren't supposed to shoot him! xxxxxYou ASSHOLES! screamed Fiona, years streaming down her cheeks. Heat waves began to radiate off of the girl. Smoke seeped from her nose. A faint scent of sulfur came with it. xxxxxHey man, whats she doing? Shes not supposed to be able to- his whining was cut short by a gout of flame issuing forth from the girls mouth. Suddenly, everything was on fire - the walls, the intruders, all of the furniture. In a blur, the young mutant grabbed her father and bolted out the door. xxxxxBy the time Fiona had made sure her dad was as safe as possible, called the authorities, and attempted to go back into the house to check, the two intruders were gone. The family house went up in a blaze; thankfully her mom and brother were not inside, having been out at the time. xxxxxThe whole incident sent waves through her hometown and gave rise to suspicion; people who had once been friendly were now cold. She did it on purpose, they said - there never WERE any intruders, it was a domestic argument, they said. he anonymous harassment didnt stop, either. Dont think weve forgotten about you, and, We know what to do with your kind. xxxxxIt wasnt too much longer later when Fiona was walking into her favorite bookstore (howd they know?) and then suddenly - a blinding, searing pain. She was thrown upwards and back by the blast, the heat singing her clothes. Upon waking, the scene was chaos - she was somehow still alive, being wheeled on a stretcher as paramedics, firemen, and police scurried around frantically. xxxxxShe passed out again, and awoke in a hospital bed several days later, family gathered round. Everyone was of course happy - but it would be a few more days before she was to go home. The doctors wanted to keep her for observation and tests to make sure no permanent damage had been done. xxxxxAt this point though, Fiona had had enough of the whole business it was clear someone meant to kill her, and that by staying well, it was only putting her family in danger. They'd be better off without her; yeah, obviously this was the only way. So she gathered up what belongings she had, and lit out for the open road.%r%r Powers -Feral Form: Taylors body has shifted into that of a humanoid ocelot, and simply will not shift back. This is a permanent and obvious mutation that the teen will have to adjust to. This form comes with a number of advantages and drawbacks. -Senses: So long as it is not pitch black and there is at least a little light, Taylor will be able to see. Taylors peripheral vision is also enhanced, to the point where Taylor can see movement that is off to the side and slightly behind, in a 200 degree field of vision. However, the teen needs reading glasses to read anything up close, having lost strong near vision. Taylor can pick up and distinguish sounds that are outside of normal human hearing, whether due to low intensity or it being out of range. 40Hz to 70000Hz is Taylors hearing range (though Taylor finds very high pitched sounds to be intensely uncomfortable to listen to), and sounds as quiet as a mouse rustling 40 feet away in grass can be heard. Any whispering around Taylor will almost certainly be heard. The flipside is that very loud sudden noises can be startling and painful: when watching television or playing games, Taylor keeps the volume quite low. Finally, it is easier to pinpoint the exact location of any sounds that are heard, and the teens ears can swivel to listen more closely to different things or to help block out a loud noise that is not as sudden. In terms of smell, Taylor is about 20 times better than a human, and can determine emotional states based on scent alone after enough experience with this ability. As with other sensory powers, the drawback is that intense smells are much more unpleasant for Taylor to deal with. People can be recognized by scent, and if so inclined, Taylor could feasibly track someone. Taylor has a generally normal sense of touch, but the whiskers on Taylors cheeks and eyebrows make it easier to pick up air movements. The whiskers are sensate, they affect balance and help Taylor know what spaces can be crawled through. Taylor is liable to get stuck in crawlspaces if they're cut and will seem generally less familiar with environments until they regrow. -Strength and agility: Taylors reflexes are greatly improved, three times as fast as a regular human, with the physical speed to back it up (this actually makes Taylor seem rather skittish if people come too close with little warning). Taylor can run twice human speed, and can keep up this speed for almost an hour without tiring out. The teen is able to jump from the ground to latch on to objects that are up to twenty feet high, and due to these strengthened leg muscles, can deliver bone shattering kicks. The teen also seems to possess a strong sense of precision and balance, and so can jump from branch to branch in trees or walk on a railing, for example, without too much difficulty and without losing balance. Learning agility related skills comes more naturally, as well. In general, Taylor is also much stronger than before, and is about as strong and tough as a professional boxer in most ways, with Taylor's leg muscles being particularly enhanced beyond that into the superhuman. -Natural weapons: Taylor has strong retractable claws that can pretty easily tear through flesh, but are not so useful against non-organic targets. They can chip off, and if the vein is torn, it will bleed and be quite painful, but the claws will regrow with time (about a week). The claws can help with clinging to surfaces and climbing. Taylors teeth are very sharp, but still just made out of teeth material. Still, the teen can bite with a lot of force, enough to crack bone. -Limitations: Taylor has a mostly carnivorous diet, most greens will cause illness and vomiting, though grains can be digested. The lions share of food will have to be meat. There are also circumstances where the feline nature will take precedence over reason. For example, if there is the smell of certain foods in the air, Taylor is likely to try and steal it without really considering that other people are preparing that food for a reason. Or if Taylor is sleepy, everywhere is a fine sleeping spot. The teen will be apologetic if these actions are pointed out, but wont really notice or think anythings wrong until someone else mentions it. Skills -Doll making: Taylor is good at putting dolls together based on parts, and then making outfits for them however elaborate. This can be translated to full person sized clothes as well, and Taylor makes a lot of their own clothing. The doll clothing tends to be of higher quality than Taylor's own outfits. That isn't to say that Taylor's own clothes aren't of high quality, just that they are really well dressed dolls. -Chemistry: Taylor really enjoys chemistry class and has a genuine interest in it, and would be able to tutor other students. Other than that, Taylor is an average student, but knows a lot of trivia about various intersex conditions, and knows a fair bit about androgen insensitivity syndrome from experience alone. -Video gaming: Taylor enjoys playing video games, and while not a professional gamer, is one of those people who seems to have a knack for pretty much any game they pick up. -Brawling: Taylor is able to cause some damage in a fist fight, just from experience, finding it easier to make people shut up with violence and use fear as a deterrent. Taylor can normally fight and win against teens of about the same age who have no serious martial arts training, but the edge diminishes with a trained opponent. Connections Friends Coming soon.
