"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I wear my crown of thorns and pull the knife out my chest.
I keep searching for something that I never seem to find.
But maybe I won't, because I left it all behind."

She wears any shade of gray, black, and white. White tank tops, grey and black slacks or skirts, and then black or grey jackets. She also has the habit of keeping a gun, or any other sort of weapon, on her person at all times; which she often blames it on being "force of habit".
Play by: Angelina Jolie

Abilities

Powers: Not only does Vixen have claws, literally sharp, black claws that she can dispense from her knuckles at will. She also has a healing factor that causes any injury that she acquires to heal instantly. Vixen can create claws that sprout from her knuckles at will. In the beginning, the claws were made of a material that closely resembled the human fingernail, but now it is made of a black metal substance. Vixen also has the typical heightened senses as well as natural survival instincts that are present in many feral mutants.
Power Flaws: One of her flaws is the heightened hearing capabilities. Any sonic or high pitched attacks against her could end up doing more damage to her than what she could do to the attacker. Also, and this isn't a power flaw, but one of her weakness is her children. Hold them against her, and she is practically vulnerable.
Weapons: Her claws, her attitude, whatever physical weapon she can get her hands on (guns, knives, etc.)
Past Affiliations: Didn't really care
Current Affiliations: X-Men
Thoughts on The Cure: I honestly don't give a damn about that cure. It's worthless, and it doesn't even work for another thing. It's ridiculous, how they think we can be cured. We're not some damned disease that needs curing. We are who we are, that's it, no "cure" could ever change that.

Overall Personality: Vixen has a very interesting personality, some of these traits are some she doesn't show very often. She is very prestigious and holds true to the believe "There is a place for everything and everything is in its place". She is a very organized person and likes things to be in order; she is utterly stressed in a situation of chaos and panic.

But, there is a part of her personality that Vixen shows heavily. She is a bad ass, or so she thinks. She is very cocky and full of herself. She thinks she can't be beat and welcomes a challenge with open arms. She is also very distrusting; she doesn't like to get close to people and often keep those "close" to her on a short leash. They know virtually nothing about her, and she knows little about them. That's how she likes her "friends". She doesn't care for the friendly types, and often avoids them. She is very cold and distant, often seeming to appear fearful as well.


History

Birthplace: Transylvania, Romania
Parents: Tereza Alina Dalca and Charles Xavier
Siblings: None
Spouse/Partner: Aaren Conner O'Riley (Deceased)
Children: Rose Tereza Dalca, Michael Gabriel Dalca
Other Relations: None
Overall History: Vixen grew up in Romania with her mother, Tereza Alina Dalca. She was always told stories of her father when she was little, how it was just a fling when the man was in Romania; this often gave explanation as to why her last name was "Xavier". He was looking into mutant outbreaks in Romania, and that's how he met her mother, and they had some sort of romantic fling during the months he was there, then he had to go home, and she was given the opportunity to go back to America with him, but she refused. But soon after that, Tereza came into knowledge of her pregnancy of Vixen.

Vixen always had the dream of finding her father, so she went to America when she was of the age eighteen. But, when she came to America in search of her father, she found something more. She, in a trick of fate, met Aaren Conner O'Riley when she was deep in search for her father. They met in the romantic movie kind of scene, both bumping into each other, Aaren offering to buy her lunch, and then things hit off. But, even in the heat of love and passion, Vixen had a secret that had manifested in her since birth. She could create sharp claws from the knuckles in her hands, that were of the same material as the human fingernail.

She kept this hidden from Aaren the best she could, but one day, he found out her secret; and he used it to his own advantage. One night, while Aaren was at the government lab facility where he was employed, Vixen was attacked and knocked unconscious. She woke up hours later in Aaren's lab, bound by heavy leather straps. Enraged, she began screaming at Aaren about his betrayal and how he could just let her be treated like a lab rat. After her voice went hoarse, Aaren began his explanation. He told her how he infused her bones and "claws" with a black metal alloy, how he was creating the greatest super weapon he could control, how she was now infused with panther DNA so she was a feral mutant, and then he began explaining what a mutant was.

Outraged, her emotions took control of her actions, and she broke free of the binding, then began attacking her husband. In the end, she killed him for his betrayal, and escaped the laboratory. Weeks after the incident, Vixen went into hiding, then found out she was pregnant with Aaren's child; which later came into light that she was having twins. She gave birth to Rose and Michael Dalca, giving them her surname. They grew up with her being a protective mother, keeping their identities hidden from working for the CIA. With the mutant uprising and possible "mutant cure", Vixen quit the CIA and went in search of her father once more, only to come to find that he was killed. Heartbroken, Vixen was almost tempted to go back to Romania with Rose and Michael, but reconsidered when she saw how happy they were at the school with the fellow "gifted" children. She took up a position teaching German to the students so the two could be near others of their own kind, and grow strong with comrades of their own.

Out of Character

Alias: Mandy
Age: 17
RP Experience: Four almost five years
Characters: None as of yet.
Sample RP:

Vixen walked through the streets slowly, every step like a jolt of a memory. She saw in the streets her and Aaren walking, holding hands, and talking, even laughing. She saw the flower shop where Aaren got their anniversary roses after a year of their marriage. But in those memories, she saw nightmares. Vixen saw the laboratory as she walked, her thoughts consuming her mind, her consciousness. She relived the pain, ever so slightly feeling the jolt of pain circuit through her body. She remembered the cold metal room she was kept in, the leather bindings, the needles that fused her skeleton with the black metal that now replaces her skeletal system.

Then, through the pain, she heard laughter; and her vision faded into a small two story picket-fence-surrounded home that seemed like it would be the “picture perfect home” in any American home and garden magazine. Her children came to mind then, and a slight crack of a smile came to her normally stone cold face. She remembered those days, when they weren’t hunted like the monsters they were. They were actually happy, even though the pain of what her husband, their father, did to her fresh in her mind. Vixen was happy, with her children Rose and Michael; they were all happy. Hearing car horns blaring in the streets, she was shaken from her memories; and looked around the sidewalk paths cautiously as she ducked into an ally, heading back towards the rundown apartment she shared with her now sixteen year old children. It was one of the only places they felt safe, for the moment.

PENDING!

1. First off, I'm not going to lie to you. This character is a Mary Sue.

2. Her relationship as Xavier's daughter is another issue. We get that no one's playing Xavier so you can't talk to Xavier about it, but it is something you should've messaged an admin about before basing an entire history around. And both myself and Sierra agree that unless you can make a good case for Vixen being Xavier's daughter that it needs to be changed. Basically you need our permission.

3. Her powers are pretty much exactly like Wolverine's. This needs to be changed. Either tweaked so that it's not exactly like his. Or completely different powers.

4. Power flaws is specific to power flaws. If her kids are a weakness then it should be put in personality flaws. And her power flaws are in no way long enough nor flawed enough.

5. Her secrets are pretty much the same. She puts up a cold front and cares more than she let's on. It feels more like you're elaborating on the first secret rather than creating a second secret.

6. Teaching isn't a habit.

7. You say that your character teaches German but aside from her nationality and that job no where does it mention anything about Germany or learning to speak German. And you push a lot on her Romanian side. So there are two very good options. You can make her the Romanian teacher or find a good place to through learning German in there.

8. There really isn't any mention of the feral side of her manifesting in personality, which it quite often tends to do. This could be incorporated very easily with the protectiveness of her children. Which should also be elaborated on.

9. How Aaron and Vixen meet is to perfect. And his betrayal of her when he finds out about her powers is predictable. You could spice it up a bit more and make it a lot less...soap operaish.

10. Infusing someone with panther DNA doesn't make them a feral. The most Aaron could probably do is inject her with the mutant genome. And he wouldn't have any idea of what power it would manifest as or if it would even take given the presence of her natural mutation.

11. We already have a panther feral on the board. And unless it is completed needed and pertinent to the character we would like to ask looking at other felines. Perhaps those more protective towards their cubs. Lions, for example. You could even pick a different type of feral. Bears are very protective of their young. It could tie everything together quite nicely. Seeing as how bears are also considered the least social of the ferals. Just think about it.

12. We're open to the idea of her having metal claws. But please understand that it is still worrisome and reminds us of Wolverine. Just please take that into account.

13. Mutations tend to manifest at puberty or under extreme stress. Of course there are exceptions when it comes to physical mutations like Toad's. But generally, puberty or extreme stress.
