Hi, I found this board and thought I’d app Lorna Dane/Polaris, since you guys said any comic character is a go. I'm tweaking her history a bit to fit into Evo, and I also hope that's okay. ^___^ Here's her comic bio: www.uncannyxmen.net/db/spotlight/showquestion.asp?faq=10&fldAuto=58&page=2 I will say I changed a bit about her history – but as she’s already powered up in Ultimate, I didn’t consider it that much of a stretch here. ^___^ This is also a totally different canon, so I gave her no affiliations and a bit of a different personality to start out with. (Since we don’t see her as a teenager in Mainstream) Thanks for taking the time to look this over. ^___^

Codeword: Pirates
Full Name: Lorna Dane
Nicknames: N/A
Codename: Polaris
Age: 16
DoB: 10/4
Origins: Midwestern United States
Orientation: Straight
Blood Type: AB+
Hair: Green (Dyes it brown)
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'4''
Weight: 130lbs
Physical Affects of Mutation?: Yes, Lorna was born with Green hair, her adoptive parents make her dye it brown.
Personality: Lorna is shy, and bent on fitting in, often no matter what it costs for her to do so. Her adoptive parents have invested a lot of time in making sure she maintains a normal appearance. She almost never approaches someone unless approached first and she tends to doubt herself and double check everything she does. This being said, she loves her adoptive parents and calls them 'mom' and 'dad' even though she knows they're not. She'll often accept and agree with things she normally wouldn't to make things go smoother and to avoid fights. This can make her rather weak willed and open to suggestion.
Even with all these flaws she is also sharp and analytical, even to the point of being critical of her herself. When she does undertake a course of action it’s because she has thought it over and is sure it's the best one, even if her reasons don't fall into what one would normally consider mainstream ethics. If something startles or upsets her, she’s likely to have an ‘accident’ involving her ‘gifts.’ At this point in her life, Lorna views her mutation as a curse. She’ll deny she’s a mutant if confronted and get more and more flustered as the accusations continue.
Appearance: Lorna is slightly built, and to appearances has brown hair. If she hasn't dyed it in a couple weeks green roots will start to appear. Rain or any other water source is also likely to rid her of hair dye if she isn't careful as it never sticks well. (This has something to do with the magnetic field she subconsciously generates.) Her eyes are a deep green, but she hardly ever meets anyone else's gaze. She's the type of girl to hold her books tight to her chest and hurry to her next class with her eyes on the floor.
Clothing Style: Lorna dresses in the popular style and as unobtrusively as she can to prevent standing out. Lorna also almost always has a hoddie and an umbrella with her, to cover her hair in case of an accident. She never wears watches, as after a short period they always stop working.
::Battle Uniform::
At present, Lorna doesn't have a 'battle' uniform.
Relations: Mother (deceased), Supposed Father (deceased), Biological Father (Magneto, not known to Lorna/family), Uncle (Robert Dane), Aunt (Elizabeth Dane) (Her relation to Magneto also makes her a half sibling to Pietro and Wanda, though she doesn't know it.)
Weaknesses: Shy, unsure of herself, self-esteem issues, family issues, lack of control over her powers, indecisive
Powers: Her powers are the same as Magneto's, the control and manipulation of magnetic and electro magnetic fields, though nothing near his level. Lorna, for example, hasn't quite figured out how to fly and doesn't spend her time trying to figure it out.
Affiliation: Independent/None
Skills: Intelligent, orderly, technologically adept/tinkering (often builds electric magnets)
Interests: Geology, physics, magnets, magnetic fields, science, music, math
Bio/History: Lorna has been living with her biological Uncle and Aunt who she calls 'Dad' and 'Mom'. The people that they supposed were her parents died in a plane crash when she was just a child. She barely remembers them. And her Aunt and Uncle are only about half right about her parentage. While her mother was her mother, the man they supposed was her father wasn't.
Lorna's father is Magneto, though she's unaware of that fact. She knows her 'parents' are her Aunt and Uncle and assumes her biological father was her birth mother's husband. As neither of them are around to say otherwise, and, as far as any one knows, her biological father is unaware of her at this point. So, Lorna has had a mostly normal childhood, with a few exceptions.
The most notable of these being what her Aunt and Uncle have made her cover what they consider her 'birth defect.' Lorna has had green hair since she was born, which they have died brown. Hair dyes tend to wash out on her rather easily. Walking home in a hard rain, for example, is likely to leave her with green streaks in her hair.
Her hair she hides from the world (at her Family's behest). But it's her abilities she hides from her family. Not wanting to worry or scare them, she hasn't told them about her other gifts. She's known for years know that she can control magnetic fields and magnetism. She spends more time repressing this than controlling this, and half her reason for her interest in the magnets and magnetism she has is so she can blame any slip she makes at home on one of her experiments.
This constant repressing of her gifts melts over into her personal life, though mostly well adjusted; she's extremely shy and has a hard time making friends despite her good looks. Lorna also spends a good deal of time reading books instead of interacting with people. She is a bit more awkward than your normal teenager, and dresses to fit in. In the end, she just wants to be normal; she had nightmares about her powers acting up beyond her control. Despite that, she does use them for little things; she has a set of metal worry balls that she'll play with when she's upset. Someone paying close attention would notice that the balls never really touch her hands.
Recently, her parents have picked up stakes and moved from the Midwest to Bayville. A move traumatic for Lorna for a number of reasons - namely it leaves her without any of her few friends. She's trying to fit in the best she can and simply be a 'normal' kid, the word mutant terrifies her. Lorna wants to be normal if for no other reason than her adoptive parents have gone through so much to make her normal. Even with her adoptive family though, Lorna feels out of place.
Example Post:
Moving was a bad enough experience without the boxes. For a reason she couldn’t explain, the boxes seemed like the worst part to Lorna. Sitting on her bed, she looked at the attic bedroom she had claimed for her own. Boxes lined the floor here too, all labeled with things like ‘Lorna’s clothes’ or ‘Lorna’s stuff’ or ‘magnets/science experiments.’
At least, she thought, I didn’t have to unpack my bed. Her computer, her magnet collection, her clothes and books, her cds, everything else would have to be unpacked. She held out her hand, idly twirling two metal balls above the palm of her hand. Something she wouldn’t risk if her parents could see her. She watched them circle each other at her direction with a detached fascination. As far as her ‘gifts’ went, it was the only thing she could do well. It was the only thing she ‘practiced’ with any frequency.
The click of the bedroom door startled her and the metal balls fell to the floor with a hard clang. Boxes containing anything made of metal were pushed back a foot and she knew she’d have to reformat her computer and reinstall everything when she unpacked it. Her ‘Dad’ walked in, picking up the balls off the floor as he did so.
“Doing okay, kiddo?” He asked, and sat down on the bed beside her.
“Yeah, I guess so,” Lorna said with a shrug, gathering up her knees to her chest and looking out over the floor.
“You start school here tomorrow,” he pointed out, holding out the worry balls, which she took from his hand without looking up at him.
“I know,” she said simply.
“Excited?” He asked, his tone one he used to try to draw her out. Oh no, it’s parenting in action, Lorna thought sarcastically.
She shrugged in reply and her Dad, No, she thought to herself, my uncle, mused her hair. “Your roots are showing; make sure you touch it up tonight, okay?”
“Sure thing, Dad,” Lorna said with a bit of a snap. Then Lorna smiled in apology, “I’ll do it after I get some of these boxes unpacked.”
“Good,” her Dad said with a smile and looked around, “though unpacking this all might take all night. Make sure you get some sleep, Kiddo,” he said and ruffled her hair again before getting up and leaving the room. Lorna watched him go, and as soon as the doors closed, two metal balls started dancing half an inch above her palm as she cursed her hair, her ‘gift,’ her having to move, and having to unpack.
Life was better back home.
