Name: Illyanna Rasputin
Alias: Magik / Red Rook
Age: 25
Gender: F
Side: Against
Appearance:
Height 5' 6"
Weight 120 lbs.
Eye Colour Blue (can turn red)
Hair Colour Blond with red streaks
Mutation/Powers: Magik's mutant power is the ability to teleport herself and others through time and space by summoning "stepping discs" of an unknown form of energy. If she teleports herself or someone else from one place on Earth to another, the person being teleported passes through Magik's dimension of Limbo in the process. Magik can also teleport herself or someone else into her limbo or out of it. Apparently she can mentally scan her Limbo while on Earth in order to locate whomever she wishes to teleport to Earth from it. The greater the distance over which she teleports, the greater the possible margin of error in terms of her arriving at the point in space/time she desires.
Illyanna is a practicioner of magic. "Magic" is a very ambiguous term, but it essentialy denotes the use of her own energies to influance the world around her. Her special bond with Limbo allows her to also draw on the energies of it's inhabitaints when she is there.
In Limbo, she is 'Dr. Strange," on Earth, barely comperable to a stage magician.
A promithium splinter usualy delivered by her Soul Sword can exert her will over others.
Personality: She is usual nice and sweet with a dark twisted edge at times. Varies with her exposure to Promethium. Illyana is currently in college as an art major. Likes: Magic shows, decadence, art, paranormal studies, gambling and...teddy bears. Dislikes: people knowing about her teddy bear collection. Goodie-Goodies.
Magik is the Mistress of her Limbo dimension. A realm composed of the psycho-active metallic element of promethium. This element can be summoned and shaped by the realm's controller thoughts, concious or subconcious. Limbo shifts from Paridisical garden to fire and brimstone hell complete with demons as her personality shifts.
A thorough Description.
History/Background:
Centuries ago, the sorcerer Belasco in failing to free ancient dark entites from their other-dimentional prison, was confined to one himself. In this prison, he was presented by fate with a possible way out. While his captors had denied him a way to leave this relm through them, the stepping disks winked in and out of the real world from time to time.
Illyana Rasputin was on the family farm in the former Soviet Union when a run away tractor threatened the Rasputin's "little Snowflake." 'Yana's screams were heard too late to prevent her disappearance into another, apparently random, stepping disk.
Illyana wandered the nightmare realm shaped by Belasco until one day, looking out from his castle the man she would come for a time to call master spied the first human face he had seen in centuries.
Belasco took the poor lost little Illyana into his home where over the years she read and absorbed his writings from the past centuries. She read how he had come to Limbo, as he called it, how he had become it's master, and the true nature of the promethium. However, the one secret he kept hidden form her was the way he had mastered Limbo's chrono-energy to render himself ageless.
As the years passed, Belasco's teachings, physical and psychological abuse slowly took their toll.
It was in the tiny cell where she was kept for offenses as much imagined as genuine that her desires for control and revenge were able to open a small stepping disk just large enough to reach through. What she grasped on the other side was a handful of raw promethium from a time before Belsco's arrival. Her desires forged it into the shape of a sword with which she cut down the door and in a fateful battle, took control of Limbo.
It wasn't long before Illyanna joined the X-men under the New Mutants program. But it was always such a constant struggle to keep her darker side supressed. The struggle took on new levels during Inferno. It had to end.She had to establish a balance. When her fellow newmutants arrived on the scene with a younger alternate version of herself that they had manage to pluck from Limbo, Magik saw her last chance fo fend off total concumption by the darkness within.
This had to be a clean break. She had to do it on her own. Even her best friend, Kitty couldn't know. A quick trip to limbo, a few spells to seal the secret, and the younger Illyanna was given a second chance.
Years flowed by, Magik transversed dimentions, elarned a great deal of magic, both balck and white. But power comes at a price. She would liekly never be the girl the tried so hard to be with the New Mutants. Fortunately, the DarkChilde had also been vanquished from her soul. What was left was Magik. Sorcress Supreme of Limbo. It was time to return to earth, but she couldn't face her friends. Not yet.
As she came to understand and control her power, her love for games of chance taught by Belasco eventualy led her to Las Vegas Where she became a regular at the Inferno Hotel & Casino. Through tiny stepping disks and promithium balls at the Roulette table, it wasn't long before Illyanna caught the attention of the owners... the Hellfire Club.
Once a den of the truely dispicable, it was now run by her old commrad in arms, Roberto DaCosta. He ahd a few ideas for the Club and willingly allowed his old friend among it's ranks.
But, beneath her dark and sinister exterior, hidden deep inside, was the innocent little snowflake from the family farm so many years ago, the little snowflake who still adored cute things like teddy bears, which she has an extensive collection stashed in secret under her bed.
Sample Post:
Excellent. rogue was willing to essentialy make a deal with the devil to get back up on her feet again. "Stand back." she instructs the others as a pentical of silvery fire streams from her Soul Sword to suround Rogue.
Illyanna utters strange words, some sounding like a form of latin, others, wholy unrecognizable. Metalic promethium strands rise from the ground weaving in and out of Rogue's open wound as a glow surounds her. Soon, the glow has faded, and the strands have gone. Physicaly, Rogue appears whole.
"Be careful for a few days, Rogue. No adventuring. I'd recomend bed rest, but the mansion is a common target. Maby you should take a vacation."
Another stepping disk is summoned to take them back to the mansion entryway.
"For the moment, however, let's all return to Xaviers."
