Powers: Photokinesis - Olivia has the mutant ability to generate and control visible light to create various effects. Her main power allows her to generate a bright pink/solar like light from her body. This is usually focused offensively through her hands in the form of volatile neon projectiles or laser like constructs generated through the tips of her fingertips capable of burning through solid steel.
Flight - Olivia has the ability to turn her body into neon light for short periods of time. In her neon form she becomes weightless enough to achieve self propelled flight.
Power Limitations: Photokinesis- Despite generating her light within herself Olivia is vulnerable to the darkness and will wilt rapidly if she were to be locked away from the sun for longer than a few hours.
Flight - Olivia can only shift to her neon form for short intervals of time before tiring out, usually no more thsn 10 minutes at one time. In this form she is solid light, sized the same, and therefore can be injured or captured. She cannot use this aspect of her powers to pass through solid surfaces or into smaller spaces than she would normally be capable. She cannot carry anything exceeding 10lbs in her neon form.
Hobbies and Interests: Liv was trained as part of an X team but has no actual field experience outside of what she's gained on the road. She is a skilled medic, speaks six languages fluently, and somehow has kept her hair and makeup flawless despite fleeing for her life.
Background: Olivia was born the second daughter to French Ambassador Olivier Mimieux and his third wife, actress Julia North. She and her sister were raised in the lap of luxury in between Washington DC and New York City. It was a lavish existence filled with prestigious schools, political playdates, and archaic debuts into society.Her father wasn't a cruel man by any means, just a chevenist to the core with too much affluence to see the error of his ways. Women with Olivia's breeding and looks didn't need to be intelligent or substantial. Their sole concern should be finding a husband of means and birthing him an army of beautiful one percenters to continue the grand tradition. Livy learned early on that it didn't pay to disobey her father, having watched her sister's exile to France for insolence, so she kept her mouth shut and her face beautiful. It was surprising even to her how easy it was to pretend; to pretend she was stupid or boring, to pretend she cared about wooing the President's son, to pretend her life mattered. She got so good at pretending she herself almost forgot more lay beneath the surface of her flawless skin.Thankfully a biology professor her freshman year of high school saw through her. Doctor Cecilia Reyes saw more than just a pretty girl and pushed her to reach her full potential, to make use of her near genius IQ. Under the mutant's watchful eye the young woman blossomed, her once icy exterior melting to reveal a genuine, kind, young woman. She even started looking into Ivy League school's with MD programs. She wanted a life of worth, she wanted to heal people.Graduating at 15, Olivia was immediately accepted to Harvard and began pursuing her dreams with ferocious determination...in secret of course. Her father thought she was majoring in literature or history, vying for the attentions of a promising young lawyer or some such nonsense. Everything was going perfectly until the United States had to up and fall apart. Liv had learned at about her mutation at an early age, the mutant gene having passed down from her mother, but had spent the majority of her life unaffected by it. Between her father's money and their diplomatic immunity it just wasn't a concern, until 'The Safety Act' was introduced to Congress at least. In a blind panic her parents fled the country, leaving her behind to fend for herself.
Still attending Harvard, Olivia was approached once again by Dr. Reyes, this time with offer of protection. The X-Men were a dying breed and needed all the fresh recruits it could get. This was her chance to help people, to have the life of substance she always craved. Livy joined without any hesitation.
Assigned to a fledgling squad based out of Vermont the young mutant received training but rarely saw any actual X-Men or field time. She loved her team but it was hardly the life she'd expected, especially as things turned so dark in the world around them.
When the safe house in DC fell to Sentinels Olivia's team panicked. With bases all across the country being discovered and destroyed they believed the worse and made a break for it, fleeing for the Canadian border as quickly as they could only to be turned away by the Government.
They were crushed.
With Apocalypse to the West, Therizo to the East, and War destroying the South they had few options but to keep moving. Over the months that followed people died or split off until Olivia found herself alone traveling through hostile territory.
Desperate to stop running Olivia headed Southeast in hopes of finding somewhere isolated enough for her regroup.
Personality: Olivia is an extremely complex individual. She is incredibly intelligent and compassionate but has spent the vast majority of her life hiding behind a mask. She was the beautiful daughter of Olivier Mimieux and she, like her mother and older sister, were to be seen but not heard. Over the years she built a carefully crafted persona; the vain party girl, the bubble headed debutante, the icy princess. Whatever suited her purposes.
Out from behind her facade she is a totally different person; genuine, remarkably intellectual, and keenly observant. She is somewhat shy to open up this side of herself to people but once she does you know you've earned her trust.
