Player nick: RickyTickles
Name: Calypso Carter (Cal or Caly)
Codename: Axiom
Status: Student
DoB/Age: 17 (turning 18 August 20, 2009)
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140 lbs
Powers: She has the ability to make others believe what she's saying is the truth regardless of how outlandish the lie. She also has the ability to telepathically read the truth in others.
Weakness: When using her powers, she gains a bright blue/white aura which makes it obvious she's using her power, which can be hidden with clothing, and her eyes become electric blue which can be hidden by sunglasses, though the glow can sometimes be seen around them. She can also only affect one person at a time. So if she were in a group of say three other people, she could convince one person of the truth, but the other two would not only not be affected by her powers, but they would be aware that she's using her powers due to the aura.
Special Skills: Calypso has been working for years on her gymnastics skills, particularly her tumbling which has made her very limber. She enjoys making her own clothes and she's also become particularly adept with writing in her teen years, enjoying poetry most. Her favorite author is Lord Tennyson.
Background/History: Born the daughter of a national anti-mutant activist, Cal was born to a family that already had two children in front of her, and another one behind. Out of all four children, only Calypso was born with the mutant gene. Coming from a small town didn't help matters. It made her an outcast of mammoth proportions. When she first exhibited signs of her mutation at age 13, she was disowned by her family and shunned out of the local foster homes. She ran away at age 15 and made a dishonest living on the street, though it pained her to do so. In the end, she comforted herself with the thought that she could either be honest and starve to death, or she could use what gifts she was given and survive. This need for survival has allowed her to become quite skilled at putting together her own clothes. To even things out, she constantly donated whatever extra was earned to helping out other mutants in need, including clothing she'd made to homeless mutants she came across. This allowed her to keep her load light as she traveled from place to place. She came to Xavier's school, not only to have a place to call home, but more importantly because she believes she can help the most mutants by being there.
Appearance:
Neither thin, nor thick, with dark blue eyes and very pale skin whether she spends time in the sun or not. Because of this and the drawbacks of her powers, she tends to wear dark clothes as light clothes makes her look like a ghost and doesn't hide the aura as well. Her hair is short touseled layers of black and she nearly always wears a pair of black sunglasses and gloves.
