Abilities
Mutation: Polaris is a mutant with the ability to manipulate magnetism. Although she has the potential to exercise all of the powers that Magneto has, as yet she has only used powers involving the manipulation of magnetic, electrical, and gravitic fields. Moreover, she cannot summon as great an amount of energy as Magneto can. The exact limits on the amount weight that she can magnetically lift at present have not been measured, but they are considerably below those of Magneto. Since she has preferred not to use her powers in combat situations, she has not worked nearly as hard to develop them as Magneto has. As with Magneto, it is unknown whether Polaris's powers are purely psionic or whether they derive from her physically.
Polaris has been observed levitating metallic objects and creating force fields in which she can suspend persons or objects in the air and in which she can protect them from attacks from outside the fields. She can also overload or short-circuit electrical systems. By concentrating, Polaris can perceive the world around herself solely as patterns of magnetic and electrical energy. She can perceive the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings, as well.
Skills:
Modeling-While with her adoptive parents, they made Lorna take Modeling lessons in an attempt for her to learn how to walk properly and to also give her the perfect posture even though Lorna never wanted to learn them.
Personality: Lorna is a sweet girl in every way. She’s kind, understanding, and a content listener. This is why she is so easy to talk to about anything because she's open and friendly to everyone when it comes to their problems.. She loves to fix people’s problems and to help them and she is a great person. To add with this sweet attitude she is also very intelligent and has a future ahead of her. This might explain why she was working as a scientist for a couple years away form the x-mansion, to work on making a different life if she needs too. She does enjoy her studies as well you know.
She also likes to figure out everything. She believes wit is better than strength and definitely has a lot of wit herself. She’s good at solving problems, finding a solution and such. It’s almost as if she strives to fix everything that is wrong. You could call it her slight obsession really. She does like to get information but won’t go to huge amounts to figure it out. She’ll figure it out what she wants on her own pretty much.
Being very social she loves to talk to people. She’s at no means shy and not as much as a bookworm as some might think. She loves to go out there and meet new people and is usually the one to just randomly start up a conversation or break silence. Silence for her is boring and she dreads it’s annoyance (if no one will break it she sure will without any problem). She’s very outgoing as well and loves to try new things. She’s pretty much up for anything.
Recently though, Lorna has become a slightly colder woman having too much death and sadness in her life. She tries her hardest to avoid feeling too much as it always seems to make things worse for her.
History: The woman that would eventually be known as Polaris didn't know she was adopted until much later in life. As it was, Alex and Nina found, on their doorstep a beautiful little girl who was very different right off the bat from everyone else. She had lime green hair, and brilliant green eyes. Taking the baby into their possession, they adopted her, dyed those lovely locks and vowed to never tell her of her real past. One shrouded in mystery and darkness. Lorna lived her childhood in the beautiful capitol city of Cheyenne, Wyoming. When season came around, she hunted deer with her father, and went to pie-baking contests in the summer with her mother.
While she was still little, it was decided by her mother that she didn't quite have the best posture around so she was sent by her father and mother to go take modeling lessons in an attempt to give her a good posture to go with her looks. They felt that a young girl's beauty was often tainted by (in their words for her) a rather shocking display of horrific balance and posture. Lorna did these lessons until her parents were killed in the plane crash.
That was a sad moment for poor Lorna. She was at home one day when she was told that her parents were killed in a plane crash. It was at that moment, she was also informed by the police that she had actually been adopted by the Dane's when she was a little girl, but nobody had any idea whom it was that was actually her real parents.
Hearing this killed poor Lorna. She went on a search to find her real parents just to find out more about them. This was when her powers first came about. Unintentionally, she drew on some negative energy around her, and she managed to grow slightly taller so as to reach a book that she wanted to check out on someone that she thought might have actually been related to her or something like that.
After everything that Lorna had been through, this scared her and caused her to automatically go back to her normal height. Running away from the library and even her home, Lorna found herself in a forest, and for the first time in her life, she noticed the fact that her hair hadn't actually been dyed and she began to notice tinges of green in her hair. This only added to her fear, so she took some of the money that she kept on her and bought some more hair dye, not yet ready to deal with the fact that her hair was really green and what she might be.
Going home, she stayed in the dark in her room for a few days, trying to figure out what was going on. Getting slightly angry at herself, Lorna managed to lift up the television in her room, thus finally getting her latent mutant power finally. After this, Lorna was contacted by Xavier's to have a conversation with them. After the conversation, Lorna agreed to join them...if only for a little while as she thought about just what she was going to do.
At the Mansion, Lorna found herself making friends with some of the people there. She got along fairly well with most people, and she led a relatively calm life. The most major thing that happened in her opinion was when the Mansion was the death of Jean Grey. Lorna was distressed by that as for one it started her thinking about her adoptive parents, and Jean Grey had been someone that she had bonded with.
When she was found once again, Lorna was ecstatic until they found that Jean was not the girl that she had once been. Upon the death of Xavier, Lorna contemplated leaving the X-Men, but she had too many ties there with her friends. Things became slightly rough for Lorna though when she found out whom her real father was. Lorna had always wanted a mother or father that she knew, but when she found out that Magneto was her father. It kind of hit her hard. It made her wonder if she really belonged with the X-Men considering she had a half-brother that was with the Brotherhood.
After that, Lorna became a bit of a loner, trying to figure out where she belonged in this world. She loved her friends, but she also wanted a chance at a family with her father and half-brother and that. As Lorna was trying to figure out hat she wanted to do. Although things changed pretty quickly for her. Lorna realised at the sight of the Brotherhood working with someone like Exodus. She realised, that even though she may want to get to know her father, and there still might be a chance for that, but she couldn't leave the X-Men. They were her life now. All of her friends were there.
When the Decimation happened, Lorna was barely affected by it. Physically, but emotionally, she was badly affected. She couldn't believe everything that had happened to her friends or anything like that, she felt for the one's that managed to get de-powered, and she tried her hardest to make the most of her powers and her life after that.
Sample Post: Lorna loved the observation tower. She could always stargaze and look for constellations. Most of the time she did this alone, and tonight was no different. Not many people knew that she was back at Xavier's, because it had only been a few days since she had unpacked. As she walked up the stairs to the top of the tower, she wondered if anybody would recognize her.
Once she had reached the top, she stopped and took the beauty of the stars and the moon in, not once looking around her to see if anybody else was here. The place was usually deserted anyway. On chance that someone was here, she wore a very flattering outfit. Her favorite red cashmere sweater still fit her, even after having it for a few years. And her favorite jeans still made her legs look a lot longer than they were, which was a good thing because she wasn't the tallest one at this school. Her hair was normally wavy, because she didn't feel like straightening it today. Plus, it framed her face nicely.
After finding a few constellations, she looked around the tower and noticed another person. From the backside he didn't look too familiar, but for some reason, she had a hunch that she would know who he was. Lorna didn't want to scare him, so she walked closwer to him and continued looking at the constellations. Once she got to be about three feet from him, her heart skipped a beat. At once she knew who it was. It was Alex. She still loved him, of course she did. But she didn't know if he still loved her. They had gone their seperate ways, and he had probably gotten over her by now.
'Oh well, I might as well talk to him...' Lorna thought. After another few minutes of silence, she gently tapped the man's shoulder. She smiled at him as he turned around.
"Hi Alex." Was all she had to say.
