Laurie "Transonic" Tromette

FULL NAME: Laurie Tromette

ALIASES: N/A

CODENAMES: Transonic

AGE: 18

PLAY BY: Comic Appearance

Over all Appearance: Laurie is an unusual looking woman with her body completely covered by crystal blue skin, a kind of coating over her true skin. ALong her head and shoulders are long bone like protrusions with red hair growing around the head protrusions. She also has body markings all over her body, darker blue lips, and solid white eyes. She is however a slender, fit looking person being a height of 5'9.

Due to her mutation Laurie generally doesn't have to wear clothes since she isn't truly naked and sometimes can go without. But out of habit she will wear hoodies and gym shorts, sometimes sleeveless shirts or tank tops and often just prefers shorts.

LIKES:
*Learning
*writing
*having peace
*flying
*studying different cultures or subjects

DISLIKES:
*Being a mutant at times
*mutant haters
*violence
*fighting
*Camping

FEARS:
*Hospitals
*Losing those she cares for
*Guns

Over all personality: What someone might notice when they meet Laurie is that she is quite intelligent, having even graduated school a year earlier then most. This makes her a quick thinker and someone always willing to learn when she gets the chance. But next to this she is quite out-going and kind to most everyone. She also seems to greatly believe in morals and ethics, growing quite annoyed when someone gets the two mixed up.

In battle thought she is fierce and doesn't give up that easily even if it means she could be killed. Also she can sometimes be serious about dire situations and takes her work as an x-man seriously. This can also make her somewhat skeptic on some missions and question the tactics of others depending on what occurs.

FAMILY: Unknown
Apocalypse-Alleged Ancestor
Possibly Clan Akkaba due to alleged ancestory

HISTORY: Laurie is a young woman who was mostly raised in New York City, though she did at one point in her life live in Canada giving her a dual citizenship. None the less most of her lift was spent in the city of New York where she grew up in a good family environment and where her family encouraged her to work hard in school. Throughout her life Laurie has spent most of her time learning and aiming to excel in school, hardly showing any interest in sports or most other activities unless it was things like book club, chess, or something to keep her mind occupied. 

Though occasionally she did work out to keep herself in shape, often moderate times of workout. It wasn't long though by age 16 that Laurie graduated from high school a few years earlier then most kids her age. Of course it was no surprise as Laurie skipped a grade or two in her younger years. BY age 17 Laurie had applied to college and wound up in Vancouver, Canada for her college until around the age of 18 things began to take a painful turn for Laurie when her mutation began to show itself.

Around this time she showed flu like symptoms and faced terrible pain to the point she was screaming in agony. At one point when her hair began to fall out the pain began to come too much for her, the pain enough she wanted to commit suicide and nearly did so if not for the X-men finding her. Taken to the institute Laurie was watched over until at last her skin became blue, covered by a costume like crystal one and her hair grew back as a dark red. From just a few months ago she has been with X-men as a newest member due to her age and has been learning some hand-to-hand combat and testing the limits of her powers.

There has been one time in her life Laurie tried to fit in with the "cool kids" due to pressure from her former best friend Melanie. This resulted in her trying to do an illegal street race where she lost control resulting in an accident that nearly cost her friend her life but ultimately ended their friendship. It can also be noted Laurie has drawn interest from the Canadian Government, most specifically to possibly end up a member one day of a new Alpha Flight if it's ever needed.

POWERS: *Shifting Crystal Skin: One of her primary abilities and most obvious one is that Laurie has crystalline skin. What is unique about her physical mutation though is that it has reactive or adaptive properties in which allow her to adapt to various environments when flying or using her speed. At times, her form alters to match altitude which causes her to grow in size and alter shape to resemble more of a mermaid-like form or flying fish by some and other times become more aerodynamic of which can be especially seen with her spiked protrusions which make her look more of having a rocket-esque appearance along with her skin seeming to become smoother and lacking the markings as visible as they would be when she is not moving. At slightly lower altitudes for when she is moving quickly but not at full speeds, she gains a more spiked appearance and visible wings upon her back that look more jagged and feathered. Overall, her skin or covering over her true skin allows her to adapt to various pressures very similar to those of aerial adaptation, likely allowing her to even breathe for limited times in oxygen-deprived places, such as the higher parts of Earth's atmosphere or space. But the full extent of this ability has yet to be seen.

Though, it can be theorized to some extent that Laurie could mentally manipulate the crystal covering/skin if she were to ever actually give it some thought. As she gets gradual mastery, or at the very least better control, over her shapeshifting-like power it's possible she can gradually make these similar features show through concentration and focus. If she does, it could be likely she could someday even have enough control to some extent make these features better help with flying and gliding, better improve durability, or even use for further enhancement of her physical attacks. In other words, she could come to control her reactive crystal skin at will but could never have a full, normal appearance.
+Superhuman Agility: Due to a possible similarity to aerial adaptation, Laurie has proven herself more agile and nimble above the average human limits and it's been believed this further improves her intellectual ability in being able to think faster and figure out conclusions, situations, and problems faster then normal.
+Superhuman Maneuverability: To many and Laurie herself, her maneuverability is truly the most notable physical enhancement she has, being described as "Freakish" by many. She is able to make a change in movement faster then a blink of an eye, such as charging forward before moving suddenly to another direction or altering her flight and running paths without warning.
+Enhanced Durability:With crystalline skin, Laurie has proven to be far more durable then normal humans, being able to handle greater impact forces and falling from certain heights but she is unlikely to take a full punch by superhumanly strong individuals and can still break bones with good enough force.
+Superhuman Stamina:Laurie is able to exert herself far beyond the limits of normal humans in terms of physical activity. She can exert herself for several hours before fatigue toxins begin to impair her and she becomes exhausted, forcing her to have to take breaks eventually.
+Transonic Speeds:Laurie can literally fly at the speed of sound, being able to to a maximum of Mach 1 in terms of speed. She is thus able to get from one place to another in a matter of minutes or seconds, depending on distance and obstacles in her way and easily rivals the speed of most modern jets.

*Self-propelled Flight:One other primary ability she has is being able to propel herself to fly, estimated by her to be upon her own energy. The limits of what heights she reaches has never been tested and her crystalline form is especially helpful in adapting to certain levels of the atmosphere to enable to avoid wind drag and particularly help in maneuverability and agility. She does occasionally get physical wings that can come from her body but mostly help in a more gliding manner then truly helping with flight period. With her physiology though, she generally can avoid being torn apart by the speeds she flies at and seems to be the only real ability she has full control over.

WEAKNESSES:
-Laurie's morphic abilities tend to only happen to help her adapt to higher altitudes and with her transonic speed.

-The use of her speed too long will tend to tire Laurie out, so she may only use it in short bursts and not rely too heavily upon this ability.

-At this point in time Laurie is not fully aware what her powers can do, especially when it comes to her enhanced physiology that is still a mystery to her and just what changes her body can make at higher altitudes. That's if she can even go higher in the atmosphere.

-Personality wise Laurie tends to be very self-conscious and insecure of her looks while also not being an overly social person, and with her mutation requiring really no clothing she tends to be concerned of what people think.
