History:
Born about 60 years in the future of the Marvel Universe (Earth-1191), Bishop has a distinctive M brand over his right eye, used to identify mutants in his era. After his parents were killed, Bishop was raised by a man named LeBeau, also called Witness, who was reportedly the last man to see the legendary X-Men alive. He was reunited with his grandmother and sister in a concentration camp in Nevada, shortly before the Summers Rebellion, when mutants and humans joined forces to destroy the Sentinels.
After the Rebellion, the mutants were "emancipated," and sent out of the camps to fend for themselves. Bishop came across an anti-mutant group called the Exhumes, who took his sister Shard hostage when the Xavier Security Enforcers arrived. After the XSE defeated the Exhume member, Bishop knew he wanted to join the XSE. When he got the chance, he accepted only if Shard could join as well.
While on a mission to wipe out a nest of Emplates, mutant vampires that feed on bone marrow, Shard was critically injured. Bishop went to Witness for help, and Witness agreed to transfer Shard's essence into a holographic matrix, if Bishop would work for him for one year.
Bishop and his XSE group "Omega Squad" captured Trevor Fitzroy, a murderous ex-XSE trainee in the ruins of the Xavier Institute War Room, where Bishop found a damaged recording of Jean Grey, which said something about a traitor destroying the X-Men from inside. Witness gave him very few answers, and Bishop thought that Witness did more than just witness those events.
Fitzroy escaped from prison and used a large amount of mutant life-force to open a time portal and break out 93 "Lifers" in the process, Bishop found himself in the past, in the time of his heroes, the X-Men. Bishop eventually "sanctioned" the Lifers, but did not get Fitzroy, and Professor Xavier offered him a place in the X-Men. When he met Gambit, Bishop recognized him as possibly a young Witness, and the two even came to blows at one point.
When the insane mutant Legion went back in time to assassinate Magneto, Bishop was one of the X-Men sent to stop him. When they failed, and Legion accidentally killed Professor Xavier, Bishop was the only time-traveler to remain when history was altered and became the Age of Apocalypse. He convinced the Magneto of that era that their existence was wrong, and with a great amount of sacrifice, managed to correct the error and stopped Legion. After the timeline reset itself, Bishop still had unsettling memories of the Age of Apocalypse.
The traitor in the X-Men was eventually revealed to be Professor X in the form of Onslaught. Bishop's knowledge of the future was the only thing that stopped Onslaught from killing the X-Men, although it was not enough to prevent Onslaught from nearly destroying all of humanity. He made peace with Gambit, who was not the traitor after all.
When trapped in deep space, Bishop became romantically involved with Deathbird, but when she turned on him and the X-Men, he killed her. Bishop spent some time in an alternate timeline, where he finally defeated Fitzroy.
Bishop as drawn by Carlos Pacheco.Although a little lacking in humour, he has been a loyal fighter, and rejoined a team of x-men searching for the Books of Truth, the diaries of the precognitive Destiny. He started using "Lucas" as a first name to go with his fake police ID. Even though the diaries became invalid due to a prediction being stopped, the team stayed together for a while before returning to the mansion. His team has recently formed their own XSE, the X-Treme Sanctions Executive. Bishop has also begun a friendship with the new X-Man Sage.
Recently, Bishop joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and appeared regularly in District X, a police procedural set in a mutant ghetto in New York City.
Since the House of M, Bishop continues to visit New York, but since a majority mutant population of District X was wiped out by the Scarlet Witch, Bishop has instead turned his attention back to the X-Men and school primarily. Bishop has recently been seen getting close to Angel's ex-girlfriend Detective Charlotte Jones.
Speculation
Given that very little is known about Bishop's past before he appeared in the present time, much has been hinted at and speculated about regarding his origin. One theory that has prevailed is that Bishop is one of Storm's descendants. Some questioned this theory's legitimacy once Bishop and Storm began to have a romantic relationship. Others have argued the possibility that a relationship between Storm and Bishop in the present might lead to descendants, one of which would become Bishop himself someday and creating a predestination paradox.
In an earlier issue of Generation X, Bishop becomes dizzy and mistakes M for his mother. It has also been revealed that the Australian aboriginal mutant Gateway is his great-grandfather although it is not certain. It is interesting, as Gateway was M's mentor prior to her joining Generation X. The matter of M being Bishop's mother is still speculation, as it has yet to be confirmned.
In the Marvel 'Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe', a history is provided to explain Bishop's origin. It writes: "Lucas Bishop was born in the 21st Century A.D. of an alternate future timeline in which mutant-hunting robot Sentinels had taken control of North America....Bishop's parents escaped to America shortly before the island nation of Australia was destroyed in a tactical nuclear strike. They were soon captured and interred in a mutant relocation camp in Sheep's Head Bay in Brooklyn, New York. There, Bishop and his sister Shard were born and, like other mutants, they were branded with 'M' tattoos over their right eyes for identification." This sheds some light onto the possibility of Bishop and Shard being Aboriginal Australians, their great-grandfather being Gateway.

Sample Post:
He has held a gun in his hand many times before-but never had one felt so cold and begging as he looked around the playground-where not long ago children were playing and laughing and simply being children.
But what remains now is a microcosmic warzone-torn to rubble, and crying black ash, the tears resting on the charocoled bodies of innocents.
Bishop chokes the tears inside of him, clenching the gun until his veins are but a crease in his skin.
"I come from a world where living is just another word for fighting. But that's not this world-it's not suppossed to be anyway. Children where I'm from are bron with a gun in there hand-cause if they ain't, it's already over for them. But these kids were innocent. Something bad happens when innocent people die-and I don't mean me wanting to plug somebody for soemthing like this. The others-who read and watch this happeniong-they're gonna want a head. They're gonna want a scapegoat."
