Weaknesses: Ripdash has a 3rd eye in the center of his forehead. With it he can see in pitch dark, but it's extremely sensitive to light and any light brighter then one street lamp and he can get crippling headaches. Ripdash is extremely fertile as well, not only can he have a child with either a man or a woman, but he can also self-fertilize so he MUST take a birth control pill or he will become pregnant.
Talents: Mystic Background
History: Ripdash's history begins with "his" grandmother. She was born on an Arizona reservation. The law in Arizona forbids selling of goods in rest stops and on the sides of roads, however if the money changes hands on Indian land then it's not against the law. So the tribe set up booths on their side of the barbed wire fence. One day a handsome trucker stopped to buy a rug. His name was Drew Crane. Drew gave one smile to a young maiden and she was "in love." Soon they eloped and went to New York.
Then life became Hell for her. Drew was extremely abusive. He drank a lot too and because of this and the beatings their first child, a boy, was born mentally retarded. Their second child, a girl, was born normal. When she turned 13 she started her period and Drew announced she had to start doing what a woman does. He and his son raped her. It was with her brother that she conceived Ripdash. She ran away and soon was forced into prositution. She gave birth to Ripdash in a dirty motel. So doped up was she that she just muttered out the first words that came to her lips - "Rip" and "Dash." In actuallity it was "I am so ripped, give me some hash," but it sounded like "Ripdash" to the "doctor" attending. So his birth certificate was signed "Ripdash Crane."
Ripdash's mother screamed with horror when she was sober enough to see her son and the blinking 3rd eye with it's orange color. Worst was the vagina and penis. Horrified, but unable to kill her child, she took Ripdash to the police where soon the entire story came out. Drew was arrested, the brother sent to a special home, and mother, daughter, and grandchild went back to the reservation.
Life wasn't happy for Rip on the reservation either, except for his great-grandmother, a powerful shaman. She had always told him he had a destiny to "bring together all kinds, humans, mutants, Inhumans, and many others to fight a great evil." She tried to teach Rip magic, but after a severe beating by the boys on the reservation, Rip ran away from home. Following in his mother's footsteps, he became a prostitute. Soon he discovered his problem of getting pregnant as he had his first miscarriage.
Rip was arrested at 18 and spent two years in jail until he qualified for a work-release program. He found himself working for a woman name Celcia. Celcia was skilled in magic and knew Ripdash was capable of it too. She taught Ripdash everything she could. Then one day the spirit of his great-grandmother, who had died while he was in jail, visited him and told him he had to learn on his own now. So he left Celcia and went on his own. He is guided by the spirit of his great-grandmother who appears to him in the form of a 3-eyed eagle.
Appearance - Mostly masculine, like a Native American Harrison Ford, but with size D-cup breasts. Dresses usually in a tribal shirt, blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a mask that covers the upper half of his face, the mask has a sliding-door in the center of the forehead portion. Long black hair usually braided down the center of the back. He also wears a necklace with a pendant made out of obsidian shaped like an Eagle, but with 3 eyes.

History: Pearl was born and raised in sunny Costa Mesa, CA. From birth she displayed mutant talents. Her parents nor her older brother cared that she was a mutant, they loved her. She was one of only 2 mutants born in her family. The other was Edwin Banks, a cousin who was about 90 years old when she was born, living in New Orleans, LA. He was a VERY powerful psychic and used his powers to make billions of dollars. Pearl got to visit him every year after she turned 5 and he doted on her. Even naming her his heir since he never married or had children.
When Pearl was 8 she spent a wonderful summer with her cousin. Until she got a phone call from the Costa Mesa police. It seemed that the psychopath Crosshairs had came upon her family home in the middle of the night. He was injured. The Banks didn't know who he was, just that he was a person in need. They let him in the house - and he showed his gratitude by killing them all, including her brother, Andrew. Cousin Edwin allowed Pearl to live with him, he died a short time after her 21st birthday, leaving her a list of business dealings that would prove very successful for her. She annoys everyone in New Orleans because she never comes to any parties. Pearl owns homes all over the world and though she visits them often, she's never seen leaving them. She lives the life of a hermit except for the servants who clean the houses once a week.
Pearls talent is as follows - by controlling electrical and magnetic pulses in the air around her, she can form "holograms" that can be solid or not as she chooses. They can be as large or as small as she wants and can do anything except have a smell. She can also create a magnet field. When upset or sick the magnetic field that's constantly around her has been known to mess up machines, erase floppies, etc. However her power can be charged up by caffeine. For every 1 espresso or 20 oz (one bottle) of Jolt Cola her power can increase a half a rank. However, if she has more caffeine then in 5 bottles of Jolt her power goes haywire and will not work properly. Anyone around her will get shocks and machines will go bonkers, etc. She also gets a little weird when she has so much caffeine in her system. But who doesn't?
Pearl doesn't go out because she's afraid of loving anyone else. She's already lost her parents, her brother, and her cousin.
Someday, she'd like to meet Crosshairs and ask him one question - Why?
Between my friend Gerry, who plays Pearl's lover/Master, Warrior Born aka Geoff Barnes, and myself we made some 3-D Pearl pictures with a smidge of animation.
