The Turtle Monument

History: An old Native American religious monument in the Middle of the Woods nearby Xavier’s. It was a part of a lesson that was used to teach Shaman what it is like to walk in another person’s shoes.

Power: When touched by two people the turtle causes them to switch bodies for 48 hours.

Shane sat in the kitchen his head buried his arm crossed on the table. He just couldn't believe it. His mother had told him that she never wanted to see him again and that he should never come home. He never thought that those anti-mutant sentiments could get to her but somehow it finally did. Though words had hurt more than anything he had ever experienced before and he didn't know what to do about it.

Shane was really excited to have found out the Matt Riely had written another book. He had not idea how he had missed it. But he absolutely loved his Scarecrow series. He had gone down to the local bookstore and picked up a copy as soon as he found out about the book.

He had already gotten half way through the book when he realized that maybe he should eat since he had already skipped two meals reading.

Shane headed down to the kitchen to make himself something to eat. The book was of course in his hand as he made his way down there.

Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Matt
Email: mbeck46@my.uri.edu
AIM (if you have one): darkhoodedmonk46
Character Name: Shane Ostrum
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Shane is 6' and 169lbs. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Shane has a couple of scars from electrical burns.

Age: 22
Birthday: Apirl 15
PB: (If using one.)Andrew Cooper

Abilities: Electricity Absorption- Shane can absorb massive amounts of electricity and does so reflexively making him impossible to hurt with electricity.

Electricity Manipulation- Shane can manipulate electricity and control it. He can also create simple electrical constructs as well. He can also lift himself off the ground with electricity levitating himself.

Weaknesses and flaws: Shane's ability to absorb electricity has a limit though it's very high. After it's reached his body will discharge it in a mass static electricity burst.

Shane has an easier time manipulating his own stored electricity than other sources and takes mental effort and energy to manipulate electricity.

Otherwise he is basically a normal human with the weaknesses that come with that.

Character location/Home: Xavier's
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Relatives (living/dead?): John Ostrum Aka Johnny Ohm-Father, Maria Wyatt-Mother
Backstory: Shane's father was put in jail before Shane was born on murder charges that his mother always told him were trumped up. While his mom had been as much a trouble maker as his father she really cleaned up her act when she found out she was pregnant and she worked very hard to provide for Shane.

While they weren't very wealthy they were happy. Shane life was fairly normal except for the visit to see his dad in prison. But that changed when he was sixteen and he got electrocuted by a downed power-line. The incident activated his latent mutant gene saving his life. No long after that he got a message from Xavier's inviting him there to learn to better control his abilities. He has been with the institute ever since.

How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Already a member of the x-men and coming back from a trip.
What are you planning to do with this character?: X-Men stuff and plots.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Develop as a character and fun x-men stuff.

Sample post:

Shane was driving back to Xavier's from his trip home to visit him mom. This whole mutant thing had freaked her out at first but she had grown to accept that. He was her son and she loved him. Though the whole thing with him nearly dying when his abilities first activating probably had not helped. He still tried to visit her whenever he had the time to do so.

Xavier's had been pretty good to him. They had helped him out a lot with understanding his powers and learning to better control them which he definitely needed with his abilities over electricity. He had accidentally blown up more than a few TVs and computers during those first couple of weeks. But now it took quick a lot for something like that to happen accidentally with his powers.

He had also made a bunch of good friends during his time there even though he had been a bit older than most for being new there and to his abilities. But he had really come to love the place and had stayed to help out there where he could.
