XS NPCs

Students

• Daiki Komatsu - Born December 17, 1996. Tall slim Japanese boy. Tends to dress elegantly. Excessively polite. Usually keeps his shoulder-length hair tied back in a ponytail. Mutation: Charisma. People like him. Sometimes quite intensely. Kinda sucks for him because he is a major introvert, admittedly by habit more than by nature. Quiet and keeps a lot to himself. When people will let him, at least. Is a helpful tutor and excels on the fencing team.

• Dennis Tauscher - Born May 2, 1997. Short, mousy-brown hair, frecklefaced. Prankster. Hydrokinetic. Pretty loud. Usually friendly but pretty judgemental; has definite leanings of being a bully but is sometimes swatted away from these by the other Prometheans. Tends to hang out with them more by virtue of habit than because they actually like each other.

• Hope Perkins - Born January 29, 1997. Tall and bony, dark brown hair, quick smile. She is not actually by default an obvious mutant, though her mutation -- osteokinesis, of herself and others -- lets her fashion all kinds of odd bone formations and she usually /chooses/ to be very visible about this even though she could hide if she wanted to. Usually sports extravagantly curling horns and a number of arm spikes. Acerbic, brusque, though nice if you can get past that. Is intermittently dating Taylor. (Deceased as of the 2015 zombiepocalypse.)

• Inès Riera - Born August 22, 1996. Dark haired, dark eyed Columbian girl. Mutation: Electrokinesis. Social butterfly. Usually the first to organize all the parties and the first to know all the gossip. Chatty, warm, tends to come off as somewhat flighty but is actually quite bright. Enjoys fencing and theater.

• Karrie Matthews - Born June 15, 1996. Skinny little thing, frizzy red hair, green eyes, braces, more freckles than unfreckled skin. Not particularly /shy/, but quiet, often found on the fringes of social groups and never really very integrated with any of them, though she hangs out with the ex-Prometheans more than most. Has a couple good friends but mostly just a lot of sort-of-friends. Her power is resurrecting the dead, although this is only known to a handful of people at the moment. She hates being asked to use it. Active on the tennis team, excellent at photography. Takes a lot of the Yearbook photos though if you ask her nicely she'll show you her more artistic work.

(All of the above NPCs are adoptable! Talk to Shane or Sebastian for details.)

• Bashir Karim - Born February 9, 1997. Skinny dark-skinned dark-eyed boy with glasses and an often somewhat hunted expression. He was homeless before Perfectus took him in and together with Julie, came to the school by way of the Perfectus cult when Sublime led him and the rest of the cult in an attack on Xavier's. Bashir is actually human; he got his ability -- limited control of mammals -- from the transplanted legs of a kidnapped mutant.

• Cassie Sawyer - Born September 13, 1996. Tall, sort of chubby girl from Texas; has a very thick accent. Has short-cropped blonde hair that she likes to dye in crazy colors, is very freckly. Plays ALL THE SPORTS, and will probably try to recruit you to play too. Her mutation causes people around her to get extremely uncomfortable when she's around, and while she spends a lot of her time trying to circumvent that, she has been known to use it for pranking. Is probably Faelan's arch nemesis.

• Chelsea Garcia-Cage - Born -someday-. Chelsea was as surprised as everyone to learn that she is in fact Luke Cage's daughter. She is an Afro-Latina girl with fairly light skin and wears her curly black hair in sproingy coils. She's typically quite thin, and seems to have hardly begun the transition to womanhood at all. She's also known to have healing factor which is so off the charts that her body occasionally grows unneeded limbs and organs for no reason at all, which she then has to have removed.

• Julie Berry - Born September 20, 1998. Julie, like Bashir, came to Xavier's with Sublime's attack. She also lacks the X-gene, deriving her ability -- projecting sonic waves -- from a transplanted mutant heart. Her mother was killed by Jim and Logan during the raid on the school; with nowhere else to go she is staying at Xavier's, too.

• Horus - Born January 12, 1997. Short for a person but huge for a bird. Looks overwhelmingly more like a bird than like a human, to the point that until people see him actually behaving in a human manner or interacting with people they'll just assume he's some odd giant bird species than a mutant. Started at XS in the spring of 2014 after holding out a long time because of being scared of Basically Everyone. Most often seen in the company of Ducky or Taylor or the shark twins. Likes Twitter.

• Ross Bennet - Born September 17th, 1996. Purple, barbed tail, pointy ears, brown hair which often has streaks of color in it and ribbed wrists. Sort of maybe crazy but ended up going to an institution and getting medicine and /kind of/ better? Has a handbuilt robot named Pedro. Projects pheromones that allow her to control someone with her voice after touching them, doesn't use her power anymore and now wears gloves, also pretty weak bone structure, fragile as hell.

Faculty & Staff

• Charles Xavier - The telepath of telepaths. Also the Headmaster. Knows if you've been naughty or nice.

• Savita Chavan - Cook. Often found around the kitchens. Will probably rap you with a spoon if you try sneaking around while meals are being prepared but also remembers everyone's favorite foods and keeps lots of tasty treats around. Is fully human; her daughter was a mutant who graduated Xavier's years back.
