APPEARANCE


Eye Colour: Allison has beautiful, blue eyes with an orange accent on the outer rims.
Hair Colour:Dark Blond
Height:5'5
Weight:109 lbs

Description of Appearance:

Alison has flowing, long blond hair down to her upper chest, which she is usually keeping in a ponytail. In the sun, and in her Magma Form her hair radiates a white accent. Her eyes are bright blue with an orange accent on the tips at regular times, but when in Magma Form her eyes are pure orange with red accents. Her height is five foot five inches, leaving her not noticeably tall, but keeping her a fair measurement off the ground. She weighs around one-hundred and nine pounds, giving her a tiny stomach, but not completely flat and muscular. She is in well physical shape.

Her legs are long, and lush, leaving her torso a bit shorter than some peoples. Her knees are sort of knobby, but she usually can keep them hidden with a dress of short pants. Her arms are nothing noticeable, just there, and normal. The only thing normal about her in her own opinion. Her fingers are lengthy, but not bony, or unattractive in any way.

Her face is somewhat pinched then let go. She has a cute, round face that makes her look as if she were much younger than she is, which she doesn't precisely love, but doesn't despise, either. Her breasts are fair, but not as big as she would want, or need to get certain peoples attention. Her neck is not very long, but isn't chubby in one sort of type.

Her body itself is not at a "physical peak", but between training, and every other form of physical exertion, her body has been trained to run for up to nine miles with rare complaining. She is gifted at long distance running, and races. She can tolerate between four and five hours of yoga and stretching exercises before it wears her out. She is certainly a fair-shaped X-Student, and promising for the future.

She is aware of her attractiveness, and is not shy at flaunting it. She isn't too horrible at being self conceded but she doesn't hide the fact that she knows she is pretty. She taunts other girls by twirling her beautiful blond hair and batting her long lashes. She enjoys their reaction.

Fears:

-Magma hates tight spaces, and planes. She cannot generate lava or summon up columns of fiery earth in moisture, or areas far away from the ground.
-Telepaths. She constantly worries of Telepaths infiltrating her mind, reading her thoughts, maybe even making her think different things for a short period of time.
-The Brotherhood. She fears that one day they will come for the X-Men, and they will be over-power. She fears their loss and the Brotherhoods victory. If they win, they can try to recruit her, and they love using powers for no reason, and she doesn't.
-Water. She has no use of her powers in water, unless the water is a hot spring, or not separated from the earth by something for example a natural pool or spring, which leaves her scared of water. Leaving her weak, and unprotected.

Personality:

Alison, being a teenager, shows it. She has cramps and when she is sick; that can interfere with her powers. Overall, she is a sweet, but defensive person. Alison, like everyone else does have her faults, but doesn't burst, often. When she does, her first response to things is usually isolating herself from people for an extent. She is bad at keeping her temper, and truthfully, she is scared of what she might do if she loses it; so when she is angry, she locks herself in her room, or goes somewhere she can think, and be alone with herself.

She cares for others, in a way that no, she may not sacrifice her life for you, but yea, she may talk to someone that hurt your feelings or bullies you down every day. Her instinct is to help people, but Alison isn't one to use violence unless permitted. It's not that she hates her powers, but she is scared of them. What will stop her from turning New York into an isolated volcano if she really loses her grip on things? Nothing. Magma hasn't unlocked anywhere near her full potential as a Student, but she is a powerful Mutant with a hidden fear of herself.

Alison is one to. . . . .lets just say, talk the talk, but not walk the walk. Alison plays big and strong. She might taunt you in the Danger Room before safe-combat, or she might threaten to burn you if you piss her off, but she would never do it. Though when she is asked thing like, "What would you do if the Brotherhood came-" her response would probably be cracking her fingers and snapping her thumb to cause a spark of fire, but really, she would try and hide using her powers when her life was in danger.

Alison can be, yes, very "hot handed" -(not hot headed, because she generates lava from her hands)- when her life is in danger, but she also has a deep romantic side. She has gone through many men, but ever since coming to the X-Mansion, she keeps coming back to Bobby, a boy that generates ice, something she never thought would attract her.

She really has problems admitting her mutant genes. She is First Generation. Her family has no genes in them, and she was quickly shunned from them. Ever since, she usually doesn't admit it and rarely goes out in public. When she does, she can practically feel everyone's eyes on her, like they know she is a mutant. At the Mansion, she can submit to herself the fact that she has powers and learn to control them better.

Alison has "certain troubles" making friends with "certain" mutants. Iceman, for example is one of her favorites, though he is her opposite. But shapeshifters, such as Mystique for example- she cannot befriend. Since the day she met Mystique, she fears shapeshifters. They could be anybody. Anywhere. Anytime. Telepaths are another negative for her. They can read her thoughts! That just isn't fair. What if she is flirting with a boy and he reads her mind? The relationship could be ruined.
Overall, Alison fears mutants with higher capabilities than her. Ones with advantages, like telepaths or shapeshifters that can hold something over her.

MUTATION


Description of Mutation:

Alison has a special power that allows her to generate lava. She can picture a hot place in her mind, and control the shape and amount of lava that comes from her hands, to a small and certain extent. This volcanic ability also allows her to move tectonic plates from the center of the earth, and cause small, small earthquakes.
Her body can transfer itself into a pure ball of lava and fire, that wraps around her exterior, to fit her body, and allows her to boost her powers to a maximum extent. Professor classifies this as her Magma Form, in which her powers are increased and her energy decreases rapidly. She can only stay in Magma Form for a short amount of time before it exhausts her and she passes out.
The magma generated from her hands is minimal. She has mastered nothing yet so the fire balls, or lava, only comes out in small amounts. She usually can hold about one-ten pounds of lava at a time. Ten and higher, in Magma Form only. In a regular fight or practice, she usually stays in the four pound area, to generate small-medium amounts of lava, but she figures it is just enough to hurt someone if needed.
She can shove the lava outward/forward to create more of a lava blast than just an orb. She projects it at a maximum of thirteen feet on good days, up to thirty feet in Magma Form.
On her cruel, angry side is her Magma Form, a state that she goes into when 1) She is in dire need of help and must defend herself or 2) She is in an intense state of anger and cannot control herself or 3) She attempts using her powers to a maximum for example: trying to cause a level 3 or higher earthquake.

Limits:

Magma has self vs nature problems. If there is a large amount of moisture in the air, it makes it hard for her to generate lava, and it comes out slowly and in small amounts, that only gives her time to melt something or someone.
When completely drenched in water, or when swimming, she cannot generate lava at all. The only way that she can is if the water she is swimming in is a natural, or hot spring. She can still summon the rock, but it is not fiery when emerged in water.
Snow also has natural effects on Alison's abilities.
In cool temperatures, Alison's fiery abilities are there, but uneasy to access unless she uses Magma Form which increases her abilities to get past natural obstacles.

Side Effects:

Alison has certain side effects from her powers. When her temper is lost, the lust for revenge is contained in her powers, and when she is completely angry, she has no control when her powers erupt and she goes into Magma Form, and attacks someone until her senses come back to her.
She also cannot be too aggressive, even if just participating in a nice round of basketball at the Mansion with some friends, her body senses that she is in an intense state and automatically she begins generating lava without her own confirmation of needing help.

History:


Amara was born in Kilauea, Hawaii on the island of Kauai. The island is surrounded by five volcanoes, which Magma questions as if that is why her powers are volcanic. Her birthplace is right in the village of Kilauea, in a valley right below the volcano, with her father, Lucius, and her mother.

At age three, when really she could tart doing things, the child took interest in princesses that she saw on TV, and mutants that she heard of. Her parents told her of the nastiness of mutants, that they weren't people, so Amara dropped it. When she was five, she began loving animals and took an obsession of going outside and talking to animals. She noticed people stared at her weird and eventually she stopped. That same year was her first year of school. She loved it! She excelled in reading, spelling, addition; and she knew it. She would boss kids around commanding, "pick up those bricks!", and no snacks for you until you wash your hands!". School was her kingdom, until the next year, when they grew just as smart; some smarter than Amara. Still today she loves a habit that she developed at age seven; biting her nails. She does it when she is stressed, or excited about something. Age ten brought new things for her; she was in the double digits!, so she started pretending she was an adult and that phase lasted months before she figured it wasn't so great. Nothing exciting went on until age thirteen; when she got her first boyfriend, and they dated for almost a full year before he was caught cheating; another reason Amara is more bitter than she was.

She loved her parents, more than anything, as they loved her. But they couldn't help nature. They couldn't help that Amara was a mutant. They found out the same day that they died. At age fifteen, Amara was fighting, hard, with her parents. Screaming, her parents trying to calm her down, her temper rising. At the climax of their fight, Amara lost it, and for the first time, felt the volcanic fury that has always been inside her. Amara lit up and caused a landslide of pure magma right under their car. The tires melted, the car flipped, and Amara was the only survivor. It killed both of her parents, and only bruised up a distraught, terrified Amara, whom thinks it was her fault that her parents are dead. Before that day, Amara was a spirited, young, sweet child, but ever since is the rougher, more mature version of herself.

Four days later; after the funeral and after packing all of her things, Amara was told that she was put in the computer as orphaned but they already had a family,the Crestmere's, who were voluntary of taking in Amara. So she flew to New York City, New York, and met her new brother, and parents. They signed papers and in just a few hours Amara was theirs. They suggested to her on her first night a name change. She wondered why but quickly they told her it was an unused name in NY. For days they helped her with a name, before she found one she really liked; Alison. They signed more papers, and legally changed her name to Alison Crestmere.

She lived with them for several years, and grew to love each one for their kindness. Her little brother was sweet sometimes, and sometimes not, but she loved them, and they did her.They clothed her, bought her things, threw her birthday parties and invited her school friends. They were amazing to Alison.

On her fifteenth birthday, her powers showed themselves for the second time, when she blew out the candles and instead of going out, the candles inflamed and the cake itself exploded in flame. It quickly disintegrated, and the family dismissed it, pretending it never happened. Later that year, on a normal night as her mother fixed dinner, Alison helped cut up vegetables, and when finished, leaned over and relaxed. Stares and her foster mothers screams filled the room, because Alison was leaning on the stove her hand fully on it at 350 degrees, and she wasn't feeling it. Alison panicked and quickly pounced away from the stove. Screaming and fear erupted throughout the room, and in a panicked state, Alison's arm burst into flame, and inch by inch, in a matter of seconds, her entire body was covered in a magma and molten rock looking substance, yet she didn't catch anything on fire. It faded off almost as fast as fast as it came on, and her family new then Alison was a mutant.

For the next few months, they talked it over and figured it was okay as long as Alison didn't use her powers unless absolutely necessary. She agreed and they went on and didn't speak of it. Alison noticed that her family didn't talk to her as much, or check in on her every day. but they remained a family, and that was enough for her.

At age sixteen, just living her life normally in her third year of high school, her little foster brother had argued with her all day about her driving him to a date and pushed her over the edge too far with his last stunt, turning her room into a black hole of a mess. Alison exploded, and caught fire, the first time since the night with the stove. Her family panicked, as did she, but it wasn't hurting her. Before thinking, she started screaming at her fear-struck brother, and began erupting flame and projecting it as she caught their apartment on fire. The family got out alive, with minor burn injuries, but Alison suffered consequences. The apartment was surrounded by paparazzi, ambulances, and other mutants.

It took around thirty minutes for the X-Men to arrive and try to calm her down. She erupted and shook the earth around her shortly before passing out. The X-Men negotiated with her foster parents and they agreed that Alison needed them now and they gave her over to them, with caution, and hugged her unconscious body goodbye.

When she woke up, she was surrounded by X-Men. She was introduced to every one, and finally met the Professor. They told her what happened, and that she is a mutant. After giving her time to absorb the information, Alison was given two options; to continue her regular life and be released from the Mansion, or she could stay and learn to control her powers properly. They showed her the news video of her on the street, erupting flame, and causing a small earthquake.

After staying at the Mansion for a week, and getting to know everyone a bit better, Alison decided that staying is a better choice. She went through training and was classified as a geothermal mutant, with a high range of powers, some unlearned.

Alison, post accepting her position to stay, was given her opportunity to choose her codename. She debated on Molten, Inferno, Volcano, Spitfire, and finally decided on Magma. It was agreed that could be confirmed and it was set in stone, Alison is Magma.

For the next few months, Alison trained at the X-Mansion as a Student, and helped train even newer mutants to translate their anger and not use aggression, but other methods of letting your emotions out. She learned better control of her powers and can now generate lava without having problems turning it off.

Later that year, an attack was held on all of the people attending or touring around the area of an official government announcement to the public from the new senator. Magneto leashed out a power transferred from an X-Man, Rouge into a machine, to create more mutants. Alison was not allowed to go, but the New Mutants were allowed to watch footage broadcast on TV, until Wolverine, a tempered, fierce X-Man, stopped Magneto with help from other X-Men.

This event repeated itself the next year, when Alison, (along with the New Mutants), sat, listening to the X-Men tell them of what happened when they went to Alkali Lake to stop some freak from creating a Dark Cerebro- a mimic of this cool machine in the Mansion.

It was all changed when Alison was 18 and the government released a Cure for mutants, depriving them of their powers. Few, but some students were lost from the Mansion and went to get the Cure, but Alison refused, wanting to spit on the idea. She had just grown to trust and love her mutant family, whom all understood her and cared for her; no. She wasn't giving that up.

At that same age; Alison graduated. She was 18 and finally had opportunity to be a Junior X-Man. She gladly joined the Junior X-Men, and continued her stay, and training. She was at this point an excellent fighter, and even helped train New Mutants learn to control their powers.

She almost regretted not getting the Cure when the Legacy Virus came along, causing Alison pain and sickness for weeks, until finally cured and it took an extra few days of resting, but Alison, along with many other students, was nursed back to health. It was horrible, and Alison will not soon forget it.

In late March, Alison at age 19, at the attack on the X-Mansion by the Brotherhood, Magma was allowed fighting along with the other Junior X-Men. It was the first time that Magma had ever used her powers in real battle, and she knew she was in real danger. She was scared of what she would do if exerting herself too much, so she sort of stayed back, only fighting when attacked, and only took a small injury to the knee.

She is fine now, and helping repair the Mansion.
It was on that day, March 25, that Alison knew she was meant to be an X-Man, and fight for the better, stop the Brotherhood, and with everything else that they do; she is gonna be an X-Man. Or as she likes to say, "X-Woman".

ALLEGIANCE


Faction: Junior X-Man
Role in Faction: Magma goes on occasional missions with the Junior X-Men, not serious bad ones, but every day works harder at becoming an X-Man and controlling her powers.
Occupation: Alison is a bit advanced at controlling her powers, as long as her temper is kept, so she helps teach New Mutants how to focus their powers enough not to use it to an extent and just enough to use them as needed. As a Junior X-Man, she helps in Danger Room sessions with New Mutants, (supervised by X-Men), to help them learn higher skills in battle.
