Character Details

@Desc me=%tHer pale blonde hair has been curled and upswept at the back of her head, falling in a golden cascade of curls to just above her neck. This frames a face that is hidden by a mask of white, shaped like the wings of a butterfly. The upper wingtips sweep to just above her forehead, the lower ending at the curve of her jaw. Delicate rhinestones circle the eye slits and decorate the wings in intricate detail. This leaves her sensual lips uncovered, pale pink lipstick the only makeup she wears. Blue eyes meet your gaze boldly, intelligent and calculating.%r%tHer strapless gown features a satin bustier and a slender straight skirt. It is the purest white, almost seeming a very pale blue in certain lights. The material clings to the curves of her body without being tight, the skirt falling to the floor where matching white satin shoes peek out from beneath the hem. Delicate rhinestones scatter across the straight skirt, sparse as they begin at the waist but increasing in numbers in a waterfall effect until they seem to almost cover the lower portion near the hem. A full half-skirt sweeps from her slim waist to flow behind her, giving an illusion of floating as it billows slightly with each movement. the perfect frame for the artistry of the dress. A gold chain circles her neck, a large teardrop shaped pendant dangling just above the upper edge of the dress, drawing the eye downward to the teasing glimpse of cleavage the dress allows. Matching teardrop earrings dangle from her earlobes. A single wide, diamond tennis bracelet hugs her right wrist snugly. %r

&POWER_TELEPATHY_GENERAL me=%r%ch%cwTelepathy General%cn%r%tEmma is a telepath of the first order, her power significantly higher than Selene, though just below that of Sinister. She is able to send thoughts to others through telepathy as well as able to read minds to obtain responses. She can probe minds to ascertain complete information about a person, even working through mental barriers placed there in many cases. This is only if the blocks are made by a telepath below her level and/or tech of that complexity. the higher the ability of the tech/telepath, the longer it will take her to work through these blocks.%r

&POWER_ASTRAL_PROJECTION me=%r%ch%cwAstral Projection%cn%r% Emma is able to travel on the astral plane and is quite adept at functioning there. While on the astral plane, she is able to create anything she wishes. This can include weapons, weather patterns, even the type of ground or lack thereof. Everything immediately surrounding her can be modified, although she is limited to a mile in any direction. If she is there with a telepath who has stronger powers, it would become a combat of wills as to the shape of the world around them. Her body is left behind when she takes astral form, leaving it quite helpless. She can actually remain on the astral plane for up to six hours but beyond that and she must return to her body or chance being lost in her astral form forever. While on the plane, she can communicate with people up to 1000 miles away from the location of her body. She is actually able to take others to the astral plane with her, sometimes against their will and without their realizing if they are sufficiently low in willpower. Someone like Magneto would be impossible to force onto the plane at her power level, yet someone like Callisto would be easily effected. She can force up to five people to the plane at a time, but no more than that.%r

&POWER_COMMUNICATION me=%r%ch%cwCommunication%cn%r%t Emma is able to communicate through telepathy, using words and/or images. She can converse with up to twenty people at a time although she could stretch it up to thirty if she had to. These can be in a conference style or separate one-on-one conversations. She can also link herself with someone on a semi or permanent basis, allowing her to follow their thoughts or actions. These links can be of differing types. She can simply follow a person's location. She can track their surface thoughts at all times. She can even set up an 'alarm' of sorts to know when someone she is linked to is in trouble. She has a range of 1000 miles however, the longer the distance, the less people she can talk to at once. She usually does not attempt more than ten people if there is any distance involved. She is skilled enough she can carry on multiple conversations, track several links and still perform regular functions or conversations without a problem. If she is holding 10 or more separate conversations at once however, she begins to suffer in the 'real' world and seems rather distracted. The more separate things she does, the more difficult it is to keep track of the world around her. A mass conversation counts as a single one, meaning she suffers no ill effects.%r

&POWER_ILLUSIONS me=%r%ch%cwIllusions%cn%r%tEmma is able to create complex illusions by actually changing the perceptions of a person in their mind. This can effect all the senses and seems quite real to the affected person. By sending to a group, she can even mask the presence of herself and others. These illusions can be merely changing the features of herself and others or their clothing, or as complex as making them invisible. Additionally, she is able to block detection devices or telepaths from recognizing certain mutant thought patterns, effectively cloaking that mutants distinct signature from others and making them seem like a normal human. This would still work against a device such as Cerebro which is as much telepathic as mechanical. However, it will not work on straight technology such as a camera. Emma is limited by numbers as well as the shielding levels of the minds she is trying to effect. In a local area, such as a single large ballroom, she could affect up to 200 people with a simple basic illusion. This would be for unshielded minds. For a more complex illusion to unshielded minds, she could only affect up to 50 people. Complex illusions to shielded minds (such as Cyclops or Storm), she could only effect two to five people.%r

&POWER_MENTAL_TAMPERING me=%r%ch%cwMental Tampering%cn%r%t Emma understands the mind and her own abilities so well, she can utilize this in several ways. She is able to erase memories from a person and/or implant memories of her choosing. She can brainwash a person into doing her bidding or causing them to perform a preset list of instructions. She can mentally sedate a person, keeping them asleep as long as she chooses. She can actually stop (or cause) pain or pleasure by effecting those areas of the brain. This works with the various senses as well. She is able to work her way through a person's mind and understand any mental trauma they have suffered. She has the power to actually heal these traumas if she chooses to. (Psychic surgery, as it has been called.) The amount of tampering she can do is limited by the mental defense of the person involved. A normal human/mutant can be affected forever. Those with some type of telepathic powers or mental strength training could be affected however, they would be able to get free of the effects after a time depending on their strength level and depending on the type of effect.%r

&POWER_NEURAL_MESSAGES me=%r%ch%cwNeural Messages%cn%r%t Emma is able to directly influence a person's body through the neural messages sent in/from the brain itself. (It would also work on animals.) This can be done in several ways. She can stimulate the various senses, such as how she makes illusions. She can block or cause pain by merely stopping or stimulating a specific portion of a person's brain. She can influence the nervous system directly through the brain, effectively causing someone to lose control of certain muscle groups or completely freeze them. Additionally, she can block messages to the voluntary or involuntary muscle groups. She has shown the ability to kill an animal by merely stopping the beating of it's heart in this manner. She can do the same to humans. She can block a person from moving or speaking. The person must be within one mile but they don't have to be in her line of sight. Emma can also move muscles for another person, causing them to do as she wants. Their mind is still their own, she simply changes the messages to the muscle groups for her own effects. She can only effect up to five unshielded people at a time with this ability. She can affect one shielded type although there may be a battle for control. Like her other powers, someone like Callisto could be affected easily however someone like Magneto would be beyond her abilities to take over.%r

&POWER_POWER_BLOCKING me=%r%ch%cwPower Blocking%cn%r%t Emma can go into a person's mind and block the portion used to activate their mutant abilities. This would not work on someone who has a mutant ability such as their appearance or enhanced strength. It would work on someone that must mentally trigger their powers in some way. For example, Gambit must think about charging an object. Much like her neural messages, Emma can block his access to that ability (in theory). This would work on telepaths, people with force blasts, etc. This can be done in two different tones. She can place a permanent block in someone's mind. These blocks must be placed carefully, requiring concentration and power. Once in place however, they remain until removed by Emma or a telepath of equal or greater power. The other is spur-of-the-moment. She can simply concentrate on a person and block them from accessing their powers. She can do this to up to five people at a time, depending on the levels of mental shielding/training they have. Someone like Ororo, she would likely be unable to effect whereas someone like Paige is easily blocked. She is also able to trigger other mutants powers to work even whey they are not trying to utilize them or make those powers misfire or backfire. This follows the same limitations as blocking.%r

&POWER_PSI_BLASTS me=%r%ch%cwPsi Blasts%cn%r%t Emma is able to create psionic bolts, flashes of extremely intense psi-energy which can short out a persons neural circuitry. These bolts can vary in intensity and they appears as a flash of white light similar in intensity and rapidity to the pop of a flashbulb. They can cause minor injury, severe injury, or even death. This appears to be major brain trauma when used at a high enough level to kill. To reach that intensity level, she focuses all her pent up anger, hatred, and pain into one psionic blast. This will fire off every cerebral synapse in their heads at once, effectively frying their brains. She does not have to see the person but must be able to sense them mentally in order to hit them with a psi blast. Her range is 1500 feet for the psi blast. This is an area in which Emma excels over many other telepaths. She is able to effect even those who have mental training, such as the X-Men. She has knocked out three of them with a single blast in the past. In general, she can effect one powerfully shielded individual, up to three shielded/semi-shielded or up to ten normal people with no shielding/training. %r%tShe can get through the psychic shields of another telepath who is of a lesser ability than herself. With someone of equal or just slightly lesser power than herself, she would probably not be able to get through their full shielding. If telepaths on that level have only minimal shielding (such as 50 percent), she could probably get through with a blast however, its effects would be reduced by the percentage of shielding (by 50 percent in this example). She would probably only get one shot before their full shielding blocked her. With intense concentration, she might eventually break through a shield of someone on that power level but it would take some time such as a continued battle where she constantly attempts to break through. With a little effort, she could still effect someone with mental strength training such as the X-Men. She is not able to get through the shields of those telepaths above her level such as Xavier.%r

&POWER_SHIELDING me=%r%ch%cwShielding%cn%r%t Emma is able to protect her own mind from probing or tampering through a psychic shield. This helps protect her from any psychic attack although it could be breached by someone of greater power than herself. She always has a mental block in place shielding her from probes, blasts, and/or tampering. This is usually kept in place almost unconsciously by her after so long. They are even maintained while she is sleeping normally although sometimes intense thoughts/emotions may get through while she is asleep. It can be intensified should an attack occur on her person since she is normally operating at 50 percent of her shielding power. Someone of Selene's level would probably be able to get through her shields at a reduced percentage (50 percent shields, 50 percent of the blast gets through). They would only have one chance before she would shield completely. Someone on Xavier's level would be able to get through her 50 percent shield with minimal effort and through her full shielding with intense concentration. %r%tEmma must maintain constant mental blocks to keep from going insane. If she does not, she hears the thoughts of everyone within an approximate 20 mile distance. This was what she suffered with at the manifestation of her power and convinced her parents she needed to be placed in the asylum.%r

&POWER_TRANSFER_PSYCHE me=%r%ch%cwTransfer Psyche%cn%r%t If Emma is about to die, there is a final defense mechanism she can use. She can use all of her powers together to separate her mind from her body, then transfer it to another 'host' body. (Either voluntary or not.) That body must be within 100 feet of her. This is an extreme strain and Emma's mind will become dormant for up to a week in order to recover. When she becomes 'conscious', several things can happen. If her body has been preserved, a telepath of her level or higher, or a telepath of lower with sufficient technological resources, can transfer her back into her body. If her body has been destroyed, she could be transferred to a different one (of a deceased person). If that is not possible, she will either remain in the host as a second entity with no influence (if the person has sufficient mental defenses to keep her that way) or she will begin to take over the host's body herself (if she can beat their mental defenses). This could give the effect of a multiple personality since the two psyches would be warring for possession of a shared body. If the person is weak enough, Emma could take over completely. (Of course, she would want to get back into her own body or another one rather than reach this point.)%r

&FLAW_CONCENTRATION me=%r%ch%cwConcentration%cn%r%tEmma must be able to concentrate to make her powers work. The more complex the power she is trying to use, the more concentration she must have. Communications are normal for her and require little concentration at all. However, psychic surgery requires intense concentration as does astral projection. The others are varying degrees in between.%r

&FLAW_RANGE me=%r%ch%cwRange%cn%r%t Emma does have range limitations on her various powers. Communication is 1000 miles. However, this distance is lessened depending on how many conversations she is carrying on at once. More than ten and she begins to have lesser distances in proportion to the numerous conversations. Up to 30 people and she would be limited to a 50 mile range. Psi blasts are limited to 1500 feet. Mental tampering can be done at range if it is not complex. Psychic surgery must be done within 100 feet or closer. Illusions can be within one mile. To mentally activate or block another mutants abilities, she must be within 1000 feet or closer.%r

&FLAW_CONSTANT_SHIELDING me=%r%ch%cwConstant Shielding%cn%r%tEmma must maintain constant mental blocks to keep from going insane. If she does not, she hears the thoughts of everyone within an approximate 20 mile distance. This was what she suffered with at the manifestation of her power and convinced her parents she needed to be placed in the asylum.%r

&FLAW_FEAR_OF_ISOLATION me=%r%ch%cwFear of Isolation%cn%r%t This is one of her secrets and Emma has done a very good job of keeping anyone from learning about it. Thanks to her time in the asylum, she fears being locked away and left alone for long periods of time. This is not to say she cannot be alone for a up to eight hours if necessary but she will not like it. She would much prefer to have some human contact at least every few hours to make sure she knows she is not alone. %r

&FLAW_UNDERESTIMATION_OF_OTHERS me=%r%ch%cwUnderestimation of Others%cn%r%t This is a true danger that Emma still has not conquered. Because she is so confident of her own powers, she sometimes tends to underestimate those of others. She is always sure she is able to handle a situation, until she is proven wrong. She does have a healthy respect for those she considers her betters, in specific areas. Such as Xavier is better at telepathy. Someone like Shaw she would respect for his business sense as well as the ability to plot against others. Even if she does not like them, she will respect those abilities. Unfortunately, most people she does not consider more capable than herself. %r

&PERS me=%r%ch%cwConfident%cn%r%t Emma knows what she can do, both her skills and her powers. She has a good understanding of each. For good reason, she is very confident of herself, bordering on over-confidence or even egotism. There is no doubting the pride in the way she carries herself at all times. She may at times over estimate her capability at handling a situation, finding herself needing assistance. This is something she finds it hard to ever admit to though, which typically makes things worse instead of better.%r%r%ch%cwIce Queen%cn%r%t Emma carries herself like nobility. She is rather aloof when dealing with most people, especially in business matters. While she can open up to those she is close to, she normally can be rather cool toward people. Many consider her emotionless. No one gets to the Ice Queen. While this is actually a defensive mechanism on her part, most people would never realize that. She simply comes across as rather stuck-up, to put it bluntly. She can control her reactions, keeping her expression a mask to hide her true feelings.%r
&PERS2 me=%r%ch%cwIntelligent%cn%r%t Dumb blonde? Not Emma Frost. She is extremely intelligent and she is proud of her intellect. She is able to reason through situations, business or even combat, and make sound decisions. She is self taught in a lot of ways, having built her business from nothing. Literally. She has focused her intelligence in order to build more wealth, through her business dealings. Even without her powers, she would be a formidable player in the business world. She is able to invent complex technological devices that have helped to enhance or track mutants in the world. It might be easy to underestimate her due to her appearance but this could be a fatal business mistake.%r%r%ch%cwLeadership%cn%r%t Emma seems to always end up in positions of leadership. From her position as White Queen of the Hellfire Club, CEO for Frost Enterprises, and Headmaster at the Massachusetts Academy, she has always seemed to be in the position of power. She is able to gain the confidence of others though her own natural charisma, without ever falling back on her powers. She does aspire to be placed in these positions, as it is fueled by her need to be in a position to control things.%r
&PERS3 me=%r%ch%cwManipulative%cn%r%t Emma Frost is used to manipulating people for her own means, as well as those of the HFC (if it suits her). She will use information that she gains about a person, through her telepathy or in other ways, to her best advantage to make that person perform in a manner she wishes. She knows how to manipulate a person to do what she chooses, or even to place other people in a position to take the blame instead of it being placed upon her. She has the tendencies to use her powers even when some might consider it morally wrong to do so, in order to achieve what she feels is necessary. She feels no guilt over this type of manipulation, if the goal is one she feels is right.%r%r%ch%cwProtective%cn%r%tEmma comes across as very possessive of people. While people cannot be owned, one might think Emma never learned this. This is especially true of her students. In actuality, this possessiveness is her protective side coming out. She does not wish those she cares for to be hurt so she does everything in her power to keep them from being. Of course, to them, it seems the is a manipulative, controlling woman and the real reason behind it is likely missed entirely by those around her. She will sometimes go to very extreme measures to keep them safe from threats. %r
&PERS4 me=%r%ch%cwMerciless%cn%r%t Emma is not a woman to cross. She has killed in the past and will do so again if necessary. This is not something she enjoys, however. It is merely a necessity at times to protect her allies. She has even been known to lose her temper for minor mistakes (such as a sniper she hired firing a bullet which caused a shard of glass to scrape her cheek), although this is not a normal behaviour or her students would never stay at the school. She will severely hurt someone who is a threat to those for whom she cares or to herself. She has also been known to be a bit protective of women although that is a lesser known fact. Hurt a Hellion and Emma will find you. She will hold a grudge for a very long time, if necessary. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold. %r
&SPECIAL_APPEARANCE me=%r%ch%cwAppearance%cn%r%t Emma knows that she is what many people consider beautiful. She is quite willing to use that to her advantage. She was once commented upon as perhaps the only character in the Marvel Universe who shops for her battle gear at Victoria's Secret <tm>. She dresses to impress. Perhaps to shock is a better way to phrase it. Her clothes tend to show off her sexuality. Do not mistake the way she dresses for how she acts though. She is the Ice Queen for a reason. Looking is expected. Touching is not allowed.%r

&SKILL_AUTOMOBILES me=%r%ch%cwAutomobiles%cn%r%t While she would not be able to change the oil or repair an engine, Emma does like automobiles. She is particularly fond of vintage automobiles, having a collection of antique cars in mint condition. She does often have a chauffeur drive her around in a Rolls Royce but she is capable of operating vehicles herself, both automatic and standard transmissions. She is not a stunt driver by any means. She has good knowledge of antique cars and at times will attend shows or auctions to add to her collection. %r

&SKILL_BUSINESS me=%r%ch%cwBusiness%cn%r%t Emma is CEO of Frost Enterprises. She built this company from scratch over the years. The business deals in electronics, building of ships and aircraft, and transportation (of people and freight), though she is always on the look for other things to branch out into. Emma does not have a degree in business but her practical experience gives her a higher level of skill than such a degree might. Everything involved in running a business, she is familiar with, from the secretarial pool to being a CEO. %r

&SKILL_EDUCATION me=%r%ch%cwEducation%cn%r%t Emma is the Headmistress at a prestigious prep school, with the Hellions as a secret group attending the Academy. Emma has earned a teaching degree, though whatever means, and is certified by Massachusetts and New York to teach. She knows how to run a school, the legalities involved, how to get loans from the government, etc. %r

&SKILL_ELECTRONICS me=%r%ch%cwElectronics%cn%r%t With her business specializing partially in electronics, Emma has access to the latest technology for her own use. She is also able to create and repair complex electronics herself. These have included an amplifier for psionic powers as well as mutant locating devices. Although not on par with Shi'ar technology, these items are sophisticated. (OOC Note: No new items will be created without the permission off staff. Emma only will have access to those in her traits.) Additionally, she always has the latest computer equipment at her fingertips. She uses them both professionally and for personal use. She would be able to repair a computer or build one from scratch. She can write her own software as well.%r

&SKILL_HIGH_SOCIETY me=%r%ch%cwHigh Society%cn%r%t Although Emma parted from her parents at an early age, she was still exposed to the high society circles in Boston. She was taught in school all of the proper etiquette. These included being able to negotiate in high society, how to dress, dance, make small talk, etc. Through her own experiences when she was on her own, she learned all of these necessary skills for an adult in social and business situations. She knows the necessities of a fox hunt including weapons, hounds, horses, and so forth. She is able to ride a horse with ease in the worst of terrain. She can handle a rifle well. Last but not least, Emma has developed an appreciation of wine over the years. She can tell many pressings by tasting them and has a rather extensive private collection spread through several of her homes.%r

&SKILL_MANIPULATION me=%r%ch%cwManipulation%cn%r%t Emma is the mistress of manipulation. She has perfected the use of her skill as well as her own charisma to bend others to her will. She knows how to read people well. She is able to find their weaknesses through subtle questioning of the person or people they are close to emotionally. She can learn the buttons to push in order to make people perform in a manner she chooses. %r

&SKILL_LANGUAGES me=%r%ch%cwLanguages%cn%r%t Being a telepath has its perks. One of those is being able to learn languages at the speed of thought. She already knew English, being from Boston. Through some gratuitous use of her powers, Emma has learned a variety of other languages. These have included Spanish, French, Arabic, Latin, German, Japanese, and Italian. She is able to speak, read, and write all of these languages. It is just a matter of a few moments in the mind of a person for her to learn new ones.%r

&TECH_FROST_ENTERPRISES me=%r%ch%cwFrost Enterprises%cn%r%t Emma is the owner of a multi-billion dollar corporation. Frost Enterprises specializes in the building of ships and aircraft, transportation of people and freight as well as electronics. The main office located in New York City is said to be the most secure building in the world, with the highest security measures money can buy. Emma has all the resources of her company at her fingertips any time she should need it. With her business specializing in electronics, she has access to the newest toys on the market. She even has access to some prototypes which will never be sold. Aircraft and ships could also be obtained through her company should she need them.%R

&TECH_CONTACTS me=%r%ch%cwContacts%cn%r%t From her position at Frost Enterprises, Emma has many business contacts. She knows several politicians, many of which owe her some favors. She would be able to contact someone in high levels in most types of businesses around the globe, some of which also owe her favors. Of course, there are a few people she could call upon who she simply has information on which they would not want leaked to the press. Her time in the Hellfire Club has given her information on some of the most powerful financial figures as well as some of the worlds more influential mutants. %R

&TECH_HELLFIRE_CLUB me=%r%ch%cwHellfire Club%cn%r%t Emma is the White Queen of the Inner Circle. It is a position she has a personal attachment to. She has access to their technology and information, which include manpower, weapons, explosives, etc. There are some there who are her closest friends and allies, while others in the Royals are truly her enemies whom she hopes to have removed from the Circle. Of course, they do not necessarily know that. She is one of the people who makes the rules for the Club. To the general membership, she is one of the leaders of the Club but they have no clue what goes on behind closed doors or that there are mutants in their midst.%r%tShe is also the teacher of the Hellions. While some of the students have graduated and moved on with their lives, others still look to her for leadership and guidance. She can call on the group to do her bidding yet they can also call on her as their instructor for assistance in matters. It should be noted that the HFC will not allow the Hellions to endanger their existance. They know as little as necessary. Should a Hellion choose to leave the team or to betray the Inner Circle in some manner, they will be dealt with in the most severe manner. This can include them being completely eliminated although generally, Emma simply fixes their minds to erase the information which would endanger the Circle, then lets them go on with their lives.%r

&TECH_RESOURCES me=%r%ch%cwResources%cn%r%t Emma is extremely wealthy. She has a multi-billion dollar corporation of which she is the CEO. She has her considerable salary from that position, not to mention her many personal investments on the market. She has at least a million dollars accessible at any time and would be considered as one of the filthy rich of the world with almost unending resources. She has a variety of accounts around the world, has invested in the market, as well as collecting art/antique automobiles/wine. Additionally, she owns several properties around the world, including places in Canada, England, France and Japan. Most are in the United States, including a mansion near the Massachusetts Academy and a penthouse in New York City. Her company is based in New York City but owns properties in Boston, Chicago, Washington DC and other places around the world.%R

&BG me=%r%t Emma was born into the cream of Boston society. Her parents were quite wealthy and were considered as almost aristocrats. Her childhood could not be termed as happy. Her parents were rarely home and when they did seem to notice her, it was at their convenience or to make the society pages think they were the perfect family. Until she started hearing the voices at age 12. She could hear them every night and day in her mind. Her parents decided she must be insane and shipped her away to "the clinic" as they always called it. She knew what it was. It was an asylum. She was left at the mercy of the doctors who tended to drug their patients rather then treat them. The guards were worse. They took advantage of the patients in the most personal and physical of ways. %r%t One day it occurred to her that if she could hear their thoughts, perhaps they could hear hers. She reached out to a guard and it worked. He fought the way out, killing several people in the process. Emma left alone as the building burned behind her. From that day on, she decided she would never have to ask for anything twice. And she never has to this day.%r%t%rShe was 13 when she left the asylum. Using her new found powers, she made her way on the streets and began to work her way into the society circles by combing the minds of others. She learned how to behave and handle herself in a business situation. As her knowledge grew, so did her powers. She learned more about them each day it seemed, taking advantage of them all.%r
&BG2 me=%r%tWhen her parents died, she found herself as the owner of Frost Enterprises. Despite her young age, 19, her telepathic abilities enhanced her skills and knowledge so that she could hold that position. She taught herself as she went, learning how to use people and their secrets to her advantage. She was continuing to perfect her skills as a telepath. She was able to gain control of a multi-billion dollar company and merge the two businesses with herself as the Chairman of the Board.%r%tThe Hellfire Club membership passed to her after her parents' deaths. Emma, Sebastian Shaw and some others took control of the Inner Circle from Edward (Ned) Buckman and his associates. This followed Buckman revealing his true colors by sending a Sentinel to attack Emma and Harry Leland. They were saved by Shaw and Lourdes Chantel who died during that battle. Buckman was surprised to find Shaw was not dead. Emma used her powers to control Buckman like a puppet to gun down the Council of the Chosen (as the Inner Circle was originally called). Shaw killed him by breaking his neck. Shaw became the Black King and Emma the White Queen, replacing Paris Seville. Their aim remained the same as the original Council, to control the world. %r%tShe used her own personal resources to create Cyberiad in order to scour the globe for young mutants to train in the use of their powers at her own school. She attempted to recruit a young Kitty Pryde for her school but unfortunately, Professor Xavier arrived with some of the X-Men for the same purpose. A battle ensued during which she was able to knock out three of the X-Men with apparent ease despite their mental training by Xavier. They later were rescued by their fellow X-Men. The Phoenix defeated her, leaving the destroyed base behind and assuming Emma was dead. It took her some time to recover.%r
&BG3 me=%r%tLater when Kitty's parents ordered her to leave Xavier's school and enroll in the Massachusetts Academy, Emma used this opportunity to use a personal exchange gun on Storm. This was the original plan to capture the X-Men by the Club. They exchanged bodies and powers. Emma attacked the X-Men with Storm's powers, while Storm helped Kitty escape. The two women then fought and Emma lost control of her newfound powers, overloading Shaw who was struck by a stray bolt of lightning. Emma and Storm switched back and the Hellfire Club had to once again withdraw. Kitty was released from the Academy and returned to the X-Men.%r%tAt one time, Emma was felled by a psionic attack which forced her to retreat into a catatonic state due to the horrors she faced. Through her own force of will, she was able to fight her way free. Her determination was more then the fears she had faced. Her fear of being trapped was enough to spur her to fight for her life and be victorious. It was later learned that Mastermind was the attacker. There had been a long lasting rivalry between the two in the Hellfire Club. He had decided to get revenge on those he felt had wronged him. Emma was his first victim.%r%tWhen Emma recovered, she continued her search for young mutants. The Hellfire Club supported this financially as they felt the mutants she had been gathering could be used to serve the club as well. They were named the Hellions and more mutants were added to their ranks. Emma continued as the instructor of these young mutants in a secret underground area beneath the regular academy. This is the pursuit she has continued to this point in time. %r
&TECH_PERSONAL_EXCHANGE_GUN me=%r%ch%cwPersonal Exchange Gun%cn%r%tThis complex device was a part of one of the more clever plans of the HFC. Unfortunately, it did not work out but the gun is still there should it be needed. It appears much like any other gun, although the barrel is a bit larger (more like a flare gun). When fired, it drains half of the power pack held in the grip of the weapon. So it can only be fired twice before it has to be reloaded. Emma is the only person who has the necessary power packs, considering she designed them herself. When fired (like any other gun with a trigger), the gun will effect the person holding the gun and the target only. No one else in the area, unless someone runs in front of the target person. The range on the shot is only 30 feet so the target must be close. When hit, the gun instantaneously switches the psyches of the two people, moving each into the body of the other. When used on Storm, Emma was possessing her body and Ororo was trapped in the body of Emma. Their powers remain with their body. (Ororo was a telepath and Emma had weather powers after the exchange.) Unfortunately, they do not gain the knowledge of how to control those powers which is what led to the failure of the original plan. The gun used that first time was destroyed but Emma had the plans and it was recreated. (OOC Note: This is a device that would only be used with staff approval.)%r

&TECH_CYBERIAD me=%r%ch%cwCyberiad%cn%r%tCyberiad is the computer/tracking system that the Hellfire Club (Emma specifically) utilize in order to find new mutants as their powers first manifest. It scans specifically for distinct power signatures at a wide range. The powers must be active in order for it to track. So the briefer and further away the mutant that triggers the system, the longer it will take to pinpoint. For example with Firestar, the system had to track her second power manifestation which was stronger than the first. Without a telepath to enhance, the system is able to track mutants within 300 miles at all times. (Same as Cerebro used by the X-Men.) However, if there is a telepath working the system, it will utilize their telepathy and boost it far beyond their normal abilities. They will be increased tenfold. The danger is that the boost in powers also boosts the flaws and effort required to control those telepathic powers so it is unwise for anyone unfamiliar with the system to try it or they risk serious damage to their minds. She system is also the main database for Emma Frost herself, in that it contains all of the information on mutants that are located as well as updates add through the system by Emma personally as more knowledge is gained on those mutants. This includes friends and foes. All systems are redundant and Emma keeps her own files away from the system entirely in order to be sure she does not lose such precious information.%r

&TECH_PSIONIC_AMPLIFIER me=%r%ch%cwPsionic Amplifier%cn%r%tThis is precisely what the name implies. It is a device which amplifies the psionic abilities of an individual. If the person has no psionic powers specifically (telepathy, illusions, etc), they gain nothing from the amplifier. It does not grant powers, it just enhances what is already there. For someone with psionic powers, it will boost them to three times their normal levels. For Emma, this means her range jumps from 1000-3000 miles on telepathy. When it was used by Mastermind, he was able to use his powers with such precise abilities, even Emma could not see through the illusions and much of the HFC fell before Mastermind was foiled. It will also boost something like a psi-blast, making what seems a low-level to the telepath a killing blow. In this way, it is a dangerous device to use. For now, it is locked in a safe place and will not be utilized as it proved to be too much of a danger to the HFC in the past. However, Emma does work on it from time to time, attempting to calibrate it so that it will only work for a single person at a time. Namely herself.%r

&TECH_PSIONIC_BAFFLES me=%r%ch%cwPsionic Baffles%cn%r%tThese devices are one of her crowning achievements. Being a telepath, many of her inventions have dealt with those powers. In the HFC, she became very aware for the need of privacy in interactions. To that end, she created the psionic baffles. These are located throughout the HFC itself, hidden in the walls and ceilings so that no one even is aware of their presence. All overlap in areas of effect so that even if one is disabled, at least two others cover that same place in the club. They are controlled either manually or telepathically. The baffles can be set to a level to allow the simplest of telepathic conversations only, making it an effort to do even that, or they can completely block telepathic powers within the walls of the HFC. There are key members of the staff at the HFC who know how to adjust/set the baffles. Most times, it is done by a member of the HFC or Emma herself. Emma has set them so that the telepaths within the club (herself and Selene) will be able to adjust the baffles mentally. However, if they are on full power so they shut down psionic powers completely, they must be handled manually. Of course, since Emma made them, she set up a back door for herself. Even on full power, Emma can use her lowest power levels at least for communication and she can mentally trigger the controls of the baffles. She would not be able to psi-blast someone nor do a mental tour of their minds unless she triggered the baffles off first.%r%t These same baffles are installed in Frost Enterprises at key locations, such as her office or the board/meeting rooms. These baffles are set to react only to Emma herself and no other telepaths or security personnel in the building.%r

&FLAW_ENEMIES me=%r%ch%cwEnemies%cn%r%tUnfortunately, Emma does have a few very serious enemies she has made over the years. The X-Men might be considered amongst their ranks although Storm and Shadowcat specifically have reason to truly despise the White Queen. Mastermind and Selene, members of the Inner Circle itself, have also been at odds with Emma for quite some time. Mastermind paid for his standing against her. Selene has yet to pay that price but it is coming some day in the future, if Emma has her way. The woman is a threat to Shaw and Emma will not allow that to happen. One assassination plot for Selene has failed but it is unknown if a future one will. %R

&SPECIAL_WILLPOWER me=%r%ch%cwWillpower%cn%r%tEmma has an extremely high willpower. She is not someone who is easily controlled or manipulated, considering those are things she will recognize as they are what she herself uses against people. She has actually been able to bring herself out of a coma due to her willpower, driven by her need for vengeance on the person who placed her there. If faced with her greatest fears, this willpower could very well help her find a way out when she might have the urge to give up.%r

&TECH_ACADEMY me=%r%ch%cwMassachusetts Academy%cn%r%tEmma is the Headmaster (Headmistress if you must but Headmaster is the proper term) of the Massachusetts Academy which is an upper class, college preparatory school. It is private and only the elite of society are able to send their children to attend. As far as the public is aware, Emma is just the Headmaster and there is nothing really known otherwise about her. There is no hint that she is a mutant known to the public. Otherwise, the school could very well fail. %r%tThe school is also the base of operations for the Hellions. They are considered the "Honors" class, the elite of the elite. The actual facilities that are used by the Hellions are hidden behind secret doors and passages, well below the Academy itself. These include the computer room, Cyberiad itself, a training room (much like the Danger Room but with holographic technology instead of Shi'ar), and a medlab. There are a few others as well but these are the main ones used by the Hellions. This all had to be rebuilt entirely after Firestar turned on Emma. %r

&TECH_HELLIONS me=%r%chHellions%cn%r%tEmma is the trainer of the Hellions. She can call on them to perform the necessary duties for herself…or the Club if she must. Generally speaking, she prefers to keep them as her own little force. There are some of the Hellions who might not like her much while others consider her as an almost maternal figure. She is strict but not cruel in her treatment of her students. To be cruel all the time would just cause them to leave. There are times she does lash out thought but thankfully they are few and far between. In training, she will use their own weaknesses against them. This is to make them stronger, better able to deal with any threats in the future. She attempts to make sure they understand this. In exchange for this training, they are expected to keep their mouths shuts and not reveal secrets. They are expected to perform to the best of their abilities on assignments. They are expected to do the bidding of the HFC Inner Circle. If they cannot, they have no place there.%r

&TECH_POWER_DAMPENERS me=%r%ch%cwPower Dampeners%cn%r%tMuch like the psionic baffles, these are in place in the Hellfire Club, covering the entire location including those areas that are hidden from the general membership. Each of the devices overlaps others, so that even if one is destroyed, two others cover the same location. They are hidden in the walls and ceilings throughout the club. Basically, these dampeners will block the powers of mutants in the building. This will only work on those that have to trigger their powers in some way. Nightcrawler would still be blue and fuzzy but he would find himself unable to teleport in the club. Cyclops wouldnt be able to use his optic beams. Hank McCoy would be largely uneffected and so forth. However, there is one problem. These dampeners cannot be on at all times. If the Inner Circle want to be able to use their own powers, the dampeners cannot be on as they do not differentiate between members and non-members. For that reason, they are very rarely turned on although they can be utilized in a situation by the staff at the Club when one of the Royals is not in attendance. These dampeners can be activated either manually or via telepathy by Emma or even Selene. There is no back door for Emma on this one as her powers are entirely blocked if the dampeners are on, just like anyone else. These same dampeners are also installed in Frost Enterprises at key locations.%r

&SKILL_COMBAT me=%r%cj%cwCombat%cn%r%tWhile this may indeed be completely against her wishes, there are times that Emma had to resort to physical combat in order to protect herself. In general, it is beneath her and she will use her powers before she will ever lower herself to this level. There have been times though, particularly in her youth, when she had to fight to keep herself alive. Generally speaking, Emma uses a mix of boxing and kick-boxing styles. She is not a professional fighter by any stretch of the imagination. She could handle one well-trained opponent (on par with Banshee who was trained as a special agent as well as a police officer) at a time and potentially come out the victor. She could take on up to four non-trained, or basically thugs. This is in unarmed combat. Armed combat is another matter. She may very well lose to a well-trained opponent and would be reduced to two non-trained thugs for her to still come out the winner in a strict physical fight. To keep in shape, she does work out with a heavy punching bag keeping up her practice with her boxing skills. %r

&BG4 me=%r%tThere have been many times that the Hellions have wandered off on their own to pursue their own interest. While Emma at times knew of these, she rarely has interfered for her own reasons. There is one key failure that Emma has on her list of students though and that is Angelica Jones, also known as Firestar. Despite her careful manipulation of the girl in order to make her an assassin, the young Angelica was able to learn of the ploy (thanks to a guard who grew attached to the girl). Emma lost control and was unable to cope with the girl's temper. Firestar destroyed the base beneath the Academy but Emma somehow escaped with her life. While it was eventually rebuilt, this has been a dark spot on her record for students and that is something Emma will not forget. %r
