The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

No Alexandria didnt take any issue with her forwardness or her flirty energy...its that she doesnt really know how to act around it. Shes employed Stephanie, even if it wasnt known that she was the employer. Being stuck in her parents house as soon as she showed mutant abilities...it didnt give her the life experience that she needed to know how to deal with something like being flirted with. It was all new to her.
Alexandria looks at the samples she is shown and nods at each. They look good from the small screen so it should work just fine. Specially after they are touched up on the computer with whatever program she has. "Take your time. You have about seven days before the pictures are needed anyways so dont rush it."
Only hesitating for a split second, Alexandria reaches out and shakes hands with Stephanie when she offers. "I'll pass the message along to her. Depending on the final results, you might just be hearing from her again for more once the site is updated." Those words seem just fine, something she would know if the boss told her and since she was here for the pictures, it sounded reasonable. Its when Stephanie tells her not to be a stranger that she worries her bottom lip for a second before nodding. Leap of faith it is. "Perhaps coffee once its all over? I dont know much about the city."

Stephanie gave off enough vibes for her to realize that she was bisexuality, its just that Alexandria has been sheltered and kept at home most of her life ever since her parents found out about her mutation. Since then she hasn't had much interaction with people face to face so its safe to say she really has no idea how to handle someone possibly hitting on her. Plus she doesn't even know herself if she's just into guys or girls or both...she just doesn't know.
"From the pictures you sent me through the email, I'd say you are correct." Alexandria wouldn't have just picked anyone for this job because the rings that Stephanie is currently handling cost over 1mill together. Beautiful perfect jewelry must have the right pictures of they won't sell.
When Stephanie starts packing up Alexandria gently grabs the rings and such to pack it all away. "I'll trust your judgment and see the final results when we meet up again." Alexandria wants to see the pictures in person, not through an email. "How much time do you need before that?"

When Stephanie speaks about the creeps and the gay community, admittedly, Alexandria didn't see it coming. Then again, shes been pretty sheltered since she showed her mutation and her family kept her home away from everyone. Even now knowing that Stephanie was gay or bi, probably bi since she talked about guys too, it didn't change anything for her.
She speaks about work and being dedicated and Alexandria gives a slight nod. "I wouldn't have responded to your email if I didn't think you were dedicated to your work." Over half the people who responded to her ad were trolls and most were armatures. While she doesn't mind helping those people out, with her business she needs to have someone who knows what they are doing. Someone who takes pride in it and wants to do right. Someone who wants to come back to do the job again, if asked.
Alexandria watches Stephanie work, moving the rings around, replacing them to hit the right light. With the previews that she had on her email and with what she is seeing now, Alexandria has high hopes for how these will turn out. The better the pictures the more people will buy, hopefully. Then again she doesn't care for the money as much as the recognition. Even if they don't know its her work and only her alias. When Stephanie speaks of going out some time to meet others, she has to think about it before replying carefully. "I appreciate the offer." Its not much, but for her, its something.

Silently Alexandria had to agree with Stephanie there. Having more than one person picking out a name for anyone is just asking for an argument. Her own parents had about five names each picked out and when they couldn't decide on one, they looked at names that could equal with a few nicknames. Her name came up and they agreed after a few days even then. Her grandparents on the other hand all had names themselves picked out and tried pushing them on her parents too. She was told by her grandmother that she always wanted a Sylvia in the family.
"The only way to know if someone is not a creep is to actually know the person first." Being new here makes it hard to know anyone like that so shes sworn off dates. Plus her ID doesn't say her real age right now not for another year or so. She wont start off a date or relationship on a lie like that. Her mutation and what she does, yes, she might just...not tell the whole truth.
When Stephanie throws out the questions about her working with the jewelry too and such, Alexandria stiffens just ever so slightly and it takes her a moment to answer. "I like what I do and I don't want to ruin it or lose it over something as small as not caring enough. I do what needs to be done. Keep everyone happy." That is true though while Stephanie will think she is talking about her boss, she is really talking about her clients and such. Keep the clients happy so she can keep selling and she really does enjoy her work. Using her mutation is something she enjoys doing. She doesn't say this in a defensive way, just matter of fact really.

Alexandria had no judgement on Stephanie when it came to her daughter, unless she was mistreating her. Her own parents tried to force their beliefs on her but it never stuck. To her, people could do as they pleased so long as they didn't effect her or try to force her to do or believe something. To each their own. "Malia huh?" That name sounded familiar to her...from a tv series...Team Wolf if she wasn't mistaken, though she wasn't going to point it out. "Pretty name."
Alexandria hasn't been out much, her family kept her in. Didn't want people to know what she could do since she is a great way to get rich, fast and with how many greedy people were out there...like her own family. Yeah, she didn't go out much either, well she did, but she didn't trust people.
She watches Stephanie work on some earrings now, the Ruby Earrings that she spent hours working in, almost a full day. The rose gold was one of the harder metals to craft, she hasn't gotten it down perfect in one go yet. Others are more simple. Alexandria stays quiet for a moment then nods slightly. "Perhaps, but clients expect the best and its given to them. Perfection and being on time is a promise." She has to word herself carefully to not add anything that will point to her being the boss. She doesn't know Stephanie well, just enough to get to her take pictures.
Alexandria relieves stress with music or reading, yoga or other forms of exercising. "I don't see how dating can relieve stress. Can't see it." She looks over the box and sees only three more rings, Ring one, Ring two goes with the ruby earings, and Ring three. Its not a large ring holder, she didn't want o bring everything. Only what will catch eyes. Other orders she has she wont post, these are just things that come to her mind. "Setting ones mine to work, with this detail can also be relaxing, when you lose yourself to it and don't think."

Hearing that she has a daughter is a surprise to Alexandria since Stephanie didn't look much older than her. Then again, with what she doesn't and does know, people do get pregnant when they are younger now a days. Wasn't there a show called 16 and pregnant or something? "How old is your daughter?"
Seeing has how Stephanie now as the ring set up, she stops asking other questions and watches her work. When working in her room, Alexandria loves the quiet. It lets her think and see what she wants to make in her mind. Noises are distractions and can seriously screw up concentration and focus. How many times has the people living around her played music too loud, started screaming at each other, or started banging against the walls or made noises too loud while having..er..fun. Yeah shes had to remake quite a few items, almost putting her behind schedule for shipping it out, which she prides herself on getting it done on time, if not early.
Alexandria gives her a small smile when Stephanie says she could have two boyfriends at the same time, or hell even a girlfriend. Thought has crossed her mind before since she has never even been on a date. Then again its hard to do that when shes shuts herself in her apartment to work all the time and she doesn't like getting close to people. Her parents kind of screwed her over for that. Her eyes though, everyone takes notice on those which did help her get a fake id with a higher age when she originally left. "With how much I work, I wouldn't even know how to balance one, let alone two relationships." Alexandria isn't going to say boyfriend or girlfriend, seeing as how she hasn't had time to figure out what she even likes. Job first.

Seeing the first ring that Stephanie picked up, Alexandria knows that this ring will be a test of how well she is able to pick up on everything it has to offer. With the 3 cross wave and the oval stone, this was one of her more time consuming pieces. Making sure that it wasn't to small it would bend and break, making sure that it all was even spaced, that it looked how she wanted it to look. It wasn't the most time consuming or the most intricate in its self but to make sure it was a flawless cross wave, it did take time. On the ring holder she brought out, the one Stephanie picked first was the most intricate on it, the rest more simple, yet not. The lower the case, the more expensive and time consuming.
Alexandria watches her as Stephanie sets up her board and the ring. Shes not hovering exactly, if she is its from at least six feet away, but she is watching closely. She has a hard time trusting people and this is the first time she has had anyone else being around her creations that haven't bought them. When Stephanie starts speaking to her about their shared past. "South or North?" There were two Carolina states. "I work most of my time and its time consuming, getting things right so there isn't much time to hang out with friends." She has made some yes, but most don't understand why she works so much and why she never goes out to the bar with them or why she never has them over to drinks then.
"You think I have two boyfriends at the same time?" Alexandria lifts her eyebrow slightly in surprise. Shes never managed one before, probably her introvert personality and life style, but to hear her ask that was a surprise to her. Or maybe she was asking if she had one and then another when she broke up with the first. Talking to people is not her specialty, which Stephanie should soon be realizing, if not she will soon!

Alexandria does business online for quiet a few reasons. One of them being that people expect the owner, her, to be much older than she is. Plus she isn't 21 yet so most everyone would think she was a scam. Letting people guess her age, who she is, what she looks like, and her gender is best. She is the ghost who makes perfect jewelry, exactly what people ask for. That's what her business is all about. Well at least half of it anyways. She doesn't really advertise at all on TV or websites, its all word of mouth and reviews. "A map could have been sent in a link to help you find it better. Apologize."
When Stephanie says she will use the black velvet gloves and background, Alexandria nods some and grabs them from a side pouch in her bag, no wrinkles in it, and walks over before placing them closeish to her before going back to her bag to start with the first row of rings. Starting with rings is easier, then necklaces and bracelets. If things go well from there, possibly the gem creations.
Once she has grabbed the first black velvet metal inlay ring holder, which holds 20 different style rings, she brings it over to Stephanie and places it down gently and carefully about a foot from her before stepping back out of the way. Some of the rings are gold, silver, white gold and all with different stones and inlays, some with multiple stones, the works. Alexandria really hopes that Stephanie wont take off running with this set. Its worth a lot yes but what she will pay her now and if she needs her later to take more pictures, it adds up. "No, not native here. Texas." Alexandria has gotten good at hiding her accent, but she still hasn't been able to get rid of it.

Being on time is something that Alexandria likes. When people are late, to her, it just shows that you don't care enough about whatever is happening. Being late is rude. Now there are some things that will excuse someone for being late, but honestly, not many and with today being nice out, there should be no reason to show up late, unless it was personal.
When Stephanie says she loves her name, Alexandria almost tells her its just a nick name, but manages to hold herself back. She isn't here to make friends. It would be nice to have someone to trust into one day, but for now, its pictures of her work. Its business not personal or pleasure. "Thank you. I hope this place didn't give you too much trouble to find. That was not my intention." Stephanie must be new to the city then if she is still having trouble finding her way around, but she cant find herself asking anything personal. Business needs to be done and until it is over...well for her, she wont start something. Business is what she knows right now, so its what she will stick too.
"Yes, I was the one you were speaking with through the emails. The website needed to have some new pictures, something that other sites didn't have. You shows that in your examples so you were chosen." What she says doesn't implement that she is the boss or that she has one either, its just left open. People think that she has a team behind her to create the stones and metal into what they want since they get their product so quickly. Quicker than other people and stores anyways. Which is ok with her seeing as a lot of people still don't like mutants and with her fami- sorry blood relations still looking for her, having people assume that, it works out well. Besides, with how much money she has on a few off shore accounts...hiding is good. No one to rob her.
Alexandria waits until Stephanie is almost completely set up before speaking again. "When you are ready, I have a few pieces you can try out first. A few stands, black velvet boxes and some gloves for you as well. Help with the smudging when you move the metal around." If things go well...perhaps she can pay Stephanie more money to keep quiet if she pulls out some of her more...rare gem creations...to keep her quiet. Paid off. Thought for later.

Alexandria looks up from her computer screen and over to the door when she hears the knocking. She doesn't have time to say that its occupied when the door opens and a head pops into view and speaks. Its the photographer she hired. Good. Shes on time.
Alexandria stands, shuts her laptop and nods to her. "Yes, please come in and lock the door behind you if you will." When she does and the door is closed, Alexandria kind of waves her hand towards the other side of the table. "You can set everything up there if you'd like." She wont be taking out her jewelry just et until Stephanie is all set up and ready to go, that way she can pick what she wants to start with.
Keeping her distance, she hopes that Stephanie wont want to shake hands or anything. Shes not very touchy feely with new people, or at all really. Really she is just hoping that these pictures will go well today. And that she wont ask many questions about anything but how she wants the pictures done or what she wants taken. Alexandria knows she hasn't given her name to Stephanie yet and knows she needs too since her emails with her, she never did give her name, just used her work email which just stated NCJewlery. Then again, since she uses an alias for herself for her business, she could always just give her a nickname and say shes taking pictures for her coworker or boss. "I'm Dreya. I hope you found this place alright."

Alexandria sat in her apartment, on the black leather chair she bought not too long ago by her window, looking out onto the street. Its taken some time and some talking up to herself, but she decided to put out some feelers for some photographers. Someone to take pictures of her creations, who wont ask too many questions. Being a business online and being anonymous means she doesn't have to pay others to sell her things, means she wont be robbed by her own employees or other people, it also means she doesn't owe the government anything either since its an all cash business. Alexandria has no problem with having a store one day with employees she has to pay, but for now, shes by herself. She has been taking pictures of her own creations with a white background and the jewelry in different positions, but she doesn't have the eye for it and she knows they could be a lot better.
In her ad she put out, all she was asking for was a photographer who was looking for some a job taking pictures of jewelry and sculptures, no questions asked. It had an email account she set up specifically for this job so when people applied though the email she would reply by that they had to send her examples of what she was asking for, since she wasn't going to pick someone who couldn't do the job right. Alexandria did go through some that looked nice, but didn't have what she was looking for, she also went through some that were completely copyrighted and stolen from others, and of course people who were just trolling. She did get one, however, that looked very promising and today was when she was going to meet this person.
Alexandria would do the business in her home since she doesn't trust people and certainly not a stranger she is meeting off her ad and email, so she actually rented out a very small conference room at a business that rents them out to people who need to use them. Frosted windows with tables and chairs, walls with no windows, or a mixture of both.
Letting out a sigh, Alexandria stands and collects her rolling bag with all the things she wants pictures taken of, clamps a lock on the outside of it, knowing the combination brief case inside is safe, and walks out, locks her door and goes outside. Taking a breath Alexandria puts on her sunglasses and makes her way towards the building they are to meet at. Its not close, but also not too far and since today isn't actually a very cold day, walking it is. Plus she is in jeans with some warm black timberland boots, a white long sleeve turtle neck like shirt and a tan jacket tied in the middle with a fake fur inlaid hood on her head. She is warm enough to walk.
Once inside the building, Alexandria gets the keys from the front desk and makes her way towards the room she rented, kind of towards the middle, but one that only has one frosted glass wall, the one with the door. Once inside, she places the bag in the corner, takes off her jacket and hangs it up on the coat hangers, unlocks the rolling bag and takes her laptop out then takes a seat by one of the walls. She didn't bring anything else with her because in her emails, she did ask this photographer to bring her own supplies. Alexandria places the laptop on the table and logs on tot he free wifi, though her computer is secure, all she does is check her email to make sure this person is still coming, that they didn't cancel today. Once she is sure, she closes the laptop and waits.

Character
Personality: Alexandria doesn’t like to be touched much, because of her parent’s behaviors, but that’s usually surprise touches. If she knows they are coming, she can brace herself. Shes not very loud spoken, preferring the quiet of a good book in her apartment though if she is among friends she can have fun she just won’t be bubbly loud. Keeping secrets is like second nature for her when it comes to her family and past, she evades them or asks her own questions.
Job or part time job and description: Has her own jewelry store online which she might later turn into an actual store.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Being found by her parents and locked back in her room. Fear transmuting something too big for her and passing out or worse.
Special talents: Flexibility, creativity with her sculpting and her designs with jewelry making.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Alexandria’s morality is good, if not natural on some things. She doesn’t like to fight and doesn’t enjoy the sight of blood so theres no chance of her starting something. Her neutrality comes to some of the more political sides and family side.
Mutations
Mutation description: Transmutation of precious metals and stones with control of what she creates. Alexandria can change nonorganic objects and other metals into a precious metal but can only turn stones into precious gem or change what they are. Like a golf ball into a gold ball or a stone from the beach into a precious gem. She can only control what she creates/manipulates.
Example: changing a golf ball into a gold bar right now would leave her tired, like she just did 30 pushups if one doesnt do pushups. Changing A old clunky large computer monitor would leave her passed out for a day or more. Though kne day she might be able to do the computer with more practice. Changing a large steel beam would kill her
Strengths: She never has to worry about running out of money because she can create whatever she needs to survive. She can craft jewelry with perfection. She can create sculptures out of the metal and with more will power, the gems since they don’t move easily. She can manipulate her jewelry into protection items if she is attacked.
Weaknesses and Limitations: To change something to a metal she has to use her own energy and or strength to do it. The bigger it is, the more energy it will take. If it’s too big it could very well knock her unconscious or kill her. The same goes for the gems. To bend and shape something that which she already changed also take energy, though a bit less since all she is doing is changing its form.
Changing another metal into a different one doesn’t take as much energy as changing something non-metal. She cannot change living material into a metal.
She cannot change a precious gem into a different gem, only stones.
She cannot make the mass of the gem or metal larger than its original form. She can only work with what she has originally.
She has to be touching the item to change it and holding it to form it.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: Alexandria isn’t extremely strong, more toned. She does hit the gym but doesn’t do it to gain muscle since she doesn’t want to look like a body builder, she just wants to stay strong. Alexandria does box. She is fast since running is something she does daily to keep in shape so her stamina is up there. Her reflexes are over average since she is very flexible from doing yoga daily.
Fighting Style: Alexandria can box but doesn’t like to fight.
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Pros- she can throw a punch if needed. Con- she can’t use weapons well or kick well.
History Of Your Character
Alexandria was born to parents caring more about their next drink or hit then their bills or food. They only went out to get things when they decided too. She didn’t have much growing up, the trailer stained and filled with empty bottles of liquor and a few needles here and there. The one thing her parents were consistent on besides the drink and drugs was the lottery. They would always buy a ticket or two though they would never win.
When Alexandria turned 11, all she wanted was a pair of earrings, after getting them pierced anyways. Her parents said no, that it was a waste of money. Most of her friends at the school already had their ears pierced and a few of them did it to themselves so when they told her how, she took one of the needles from the house, not a drug one, but a needle and thread type, an ice cube and cotton swab. One of her classmates let her have a pair of cheap metal and quarts earrings. Said she had the real deal and didn’t need them anymore. Alexandria waited for her parents to pass out from drinking that night then pierced her ears without delay. When she was done, Alexandria grabbed the cheap set, secretly wishing they were the real deal like her friends and put them on feeling exhausted.
The next day when Alexandria woke up, her parents were furious that she got her ears pierced, thinking and assuming that she went behind their backs, took their money and paid for her earrings and also dye the tips of her hair white. They made her take out her earrings and sent her off to school while they went to sell her earrings off for whatever cash they could make. When she got back, her parents cornered her and asked her where she got diamond earing with silver settings. She told them that they were fake, not real to which they said that they were told by the pawn shop they were real.
See Alexandria knew for a fact that they were the cheap ones and on a whim the next day, took one of the little stones on the playground and put it in her pocket. That night when she got home, she took the stone out and held it in her hands. She started to wish and pray that it become an emerald. Her birthday month stone. She never did get to see the finishing product before she passed out. Something like a little stone tired her since her power was so new. Then again she didn’t know she had this power until she woke up, opened her clenched hand and saw a sparkly emerald there. Her parents came into her room since she was late going to school, saw the stone, grabbed it, and demanded to know where she got it. From having just woke up to screaming parents in seconds, Alexandria answered with she made it from panic and surprise. If she was thinking clearly, she wouldn’t have told the truth because this was the start of the hell they put her through to make money.
Every day her parents would force her to make something new of gem or metal. If she didn’t comply she would be hit or thrown into a wall, possibly both until they got what they wanted. Every time she changed something, her stamina and strength grew so she could do a few stones a day, rather than just one. She also learned, on her downtime one night that she could contort and create things out of what she created.
Alexandria practiced her creations on her own when she had the strength and alone time to do it, knowing that this was how she got out of this life. Not the trailer life, that already changed to a very nice house, which her parents claimed was lottery money. On her 16th birthday, Alexandria gathered up her belongings and took off, catching a bus and heading towards New York, a place big enough with enough people that she could essentially disappear.
When she got to New York, Alexandria bought a fake id, saying she was 19, keeping her real one for when she was actually of age, and got herself a small cheap apartment where she has stayed since. She got herself a laptop and started up a small business, jewelry making and sculpting, though the sculpting is not something she does often and the gem sculpting is only for return buyers of her jewelry, after a set amount of items and money. Once she got herself a computer, Alexandria finished her high school online quickly and grabbed her GED. This is where she has stayed till now, under the radar and away from her parents, who she did see a news clip asking their daughter to come home.

Sample RP:
Alexandria sat in her small 2 room apartment, the curtains closed and a small lamp on. In her hand sat a small thumb nail sized stone and a small piece of metal from an old trash can handle. She has been sitting here looking at these pieces for a good hour trying to see what she wants to make. Rent is due soon and she needs to make something worth something she can pawn off so she can pay for the rent.
Now her family would say to just create something raw and create a lot of it. Why live in this small place when she could be living it up in a mansion? Simple, she doesn’t want to be found by her parents. Greedy people. Ever since she showed this power, her parents have gone from trailer park to high society. People questioned how they came from the lows to the highs so quickly and they said they got lucky with a lottery ticket and an old family member passed away and left them everything. When they kept wanting more and more, bigger and better and Alexandria didn’t want to…
Shaking her head slightly to rid herself of some unpleasant memories and back on track she puts down the metal and folds the stone between her hands, cupping them like someone would pancake style hand holding but with her palms not touching. Closing her eyes she pushes energy into stone and sees what she wants the stone to become in her mind. After a few minutes she lets out a sigh and opens her eyes and her hand to see a deep blue sapphire, uncut, raw.
Taking the uncut gem in her hand, she holds it up to the light and grabs her loupe so she can see the finer details in the stone. It takes a few minutes but she finds what she needs to possibly make a few polished and finished stones from this. Placing her loupe down on the table lightly she folds the gem back into her hands and closes her eyes once more before pushing energy back into it. This takes a bit longer than the first time and more energy too but after about 30 minutes Alexandria opens her eyes again and then her hands to see 4 perfect sapphires. One round brilliant, one step cut and two pearl brilliant.
There is a black velvet bag on the small table beside her and gently places the gems in the bag, closes the strings and then places them in her pocket. Letting out a sigh, Alexandria leans back into the chair and closes her eyes. Its nap time so she can finish the metal next. She could keep going and not have to worry about passing out, since they were small to begin with, but she wants to keep a clear mind when she makes the ring next. It needs to be prefect so she can get the most money off it.
