Powers: Regeneration, bone manipulation. Rory has regenerative powers strong enough to let her heal from all but the most deadly wounds. Her bone manipulation allows her to ‘pull’ bones out of her body and shape them into whatever she needs.
Power Limitations: Using her bone manipulation powers is very painful, and she needs her regeneration to work overtime for her to get through using her bone manipulation powers. Her powers replace the bones naturally, but the act of pulling the bones out of her body tears through the skin and has to be healed before she bleeds to death. She can’t turn her bones into anything with moving parts, and she can only pull bones from her own body. Rory’s powers don’t protect her from diseases of any kind.
Sentinel Upgrades: Rory has been changed into a Bio Sentinel with the use of nanites injected into her blood. As a sentinel Rory has these additional abilities: increased strength, durability, flight, mutant detection, tracking and identification, mental communication with and control over lesser Sentinels, link system in the neck for software upgrades which also allows her to access machines she comes into contact with.
Hobbies and Interests: One of Rory’s favorite things to do has always been to sneak into a movie without paying, even if she could pay she likes the feeling of getting away with something. She’ll take her leftover bones from using her powers and sculpt things out of them, just to gross people out when they’ve annoyed her. No one seems to like finding out their ashtray used to be Rory’s hip bone. Mostly what she really likes to do is socialize, and go to parties. She’ll talk to anybody about anything, and sometimes make things up to sound like she knows what she’s talking about.
Background: Rory grew up in the Bronx with her older sister Blair. The apartment was pretty low rent, but Rory liked it. It was home to her. She didn’t remember her mom at all, and her dad was rarely around and ignored them when he was. She made attempts to get his attention, but they usually failed or ended in spankings, so she gave up before she even started school and just relied on Blair to look out for her. She started to actually prefer it when their dad was gone, they got to do a lot more when he was off their radar.Rory sometimes would get herself in these little messes, just from misjudging consequences or not actually thinking about them before she plunged in head first. Blair was always right there behind her, though, and always got Rory out of whatever trouble she’d been in. That got easier when Blair turned out to be a mutant, and Rory was always happy to suggest new ways to ‘practice’ Blair’s abilities. As fast as they got into trouble sometimes they managed to get out of it again without too much trouble. She found out about her own powers one day when she decided to sneak into the neighbor’s apartment by jumping from their fire escape to the neighbor’s. She missed.She fell seven stories to the alley behind their apartment building. It hurt like crazy, but by the time Blair got to the ground floor Rory was on her feet, totally fine. Her leg had broken badly enough to break her skin, worse than her other injuries, but when she’d put a hand near the bone it moved out of her leg almost by herself, and she could almost feel it replacing itself as her skin healed over the wound. She’d almost gotten what she wanted; she had powers, like Blair, but she didn’t think they were nearly as cool. Blair’s didn’t hurt to use, for one thing.Finding out about her healing powers just made her less worried about her own safety; either she had Blair, or she had this healing factor to fix things up for her. In high school she fell in with a faster crowd, went to parties with people a lot older than her, and started getting into bars and clubs. She was surprised when Blair started coming with her, but very happy. She loved having her sister around, and any of her friends that didn’t got cut off.Her Dad left when she and Blair were still in high school. It was sort of a shock, but it didn’t bother Rory too much, or so she told herself. It wasn’t like he’d been much of a presence in their lives to begin with. She flat out refused to go into foster care, though, and talked Blair into faking their dad’s presence so they wouldn’t get split up and put into foster care. When that failed, Rory ran away instead of being “kidnapped” by the welfare system, and her sister came with her.Things were bad for mutants, especially on the streets, and after a while Rory’s health seemed to be going downhill almost daily. Maybe it was the stress of being on their own, or the cold, or just being worn down, but either way they decided a change of scene would fix it. They decided to try to get out of the country too, but that never happened. After a long week of feeling miserably sick and trying to deny it, Rory’s nose just started bleeding and nothing could be done to stop it. She passed out at some point, and woke up to find out Blair had gotten her to a hospital. Rory tried to make it out to be no big deal, but she was freaking out inside, and it seemed like the doctors didn’t want to do anything for them once they found out the girls had no money. Rory could tell Blair was worried, especially about the unofficial theory that she had leukemia. She didn’t get it; she thought her powers would fix anything wrong with her. She was trying to be calm about it all for Blair’s sake, but she felt so lost now that she’d finally come up against something Blair couldn’t take care of.
Rory was pretty sure the hospital was sick of them after a week or so, nobody wanted to do tests even for ‘research,’ the excuse some of the nice doctors had made to do a few tests on Rory. They probably had gotten in trouble, since they stopped coming around even to say hello. Then one more doctor showed up. Rory almost told her to go away; she was tired of getting messed with for nothing, but there was something different about this doctor, other than the creepy vibe she gave off. She wasn’t sure what to think when she offered a cure for her leukemia, but when she gave her that first shot she felt better almost immediately. When she said she’d keep her healthy in trade for her and Blair doing some work for her, Rory jumped at the chance. She only hesitated when she heard her name--who called themselves Mrs. Sinister?--but only for a second. They didn’t seem to have much of a choice, though truthfully Rory didn’t think it over all that hard. She doesn’t like everything they’ve had to do since they joined Sinister, but it’s either stay and live or leave and die slowly. For her, at least at the moment, the choice is easy to make.Never fully supporting the Marauder’s cause, it was inevitable that eventually she and her sister would leave. That night came when she came upon Marco, a fellow marauder attempting to rape Blair. The two of them were able to fight him off and get away. Though Rory was hesitant to leave the organization due to her health problems, it was decided that would indeed break out on their own. To the surprise of both sister’s they discovered that Sinister’s “medicine” was not helping her recover but was in fact the cause of her illness. This revelation sparked a new sense of surrealistic nature in the Winchombe’s. From that day on they were going to look out for number one no matter what, never again would they be taken advantage of. They soon discovered Sinister had been tampering with Rory's DNA and her applied regeneration ability began to fade, no longer allowing her to heal others. To be strong, it was decided that they would need to “acquire” something of value to get them on their way. It was during this heist, the sister encountered Clover Young. A dazzling and enigmatic mutant with some astounding abilities. The Winchombe’s decided to include Clover as an honorary sister. Before long they got to know Clover's old friend, Meredith, and a few others. Down the road they adopted a few more “sisters” eventually they started calling themselves The Sisterhood.
The Sisterhood clashed with the X-Men from time to time. Rory started an affair with He Who Will Not Be Named, and he broke her heart. She never looked at the X-Men the same way. They pretended to be the good guys, but ultimately, they were a team full of pricks!
The country fell apart, and the SIsterhood traveled around, looking for a place to call their own. One day the X-Men found them. Her sister Blair apparently did not learn from her mistakes and started a relationship with one of the X-Men. Then she started going to the X-Men's secret island base... Rory turned a blind eye, until the Sisterhood needed a new place to go, Clover decided that Blair would take them to the island.
It went okay for a while, if you can call watching your sister set herself up for disaster 'okay.' Then something happened with a couple of the X-Men, and the Sisterhood had to go. No big surprise there. But after that, they couldn't find a safe place to settle. There were always Sentinels, or enemy mutants, or there just wasn't enough in the way of supplies to stay in one place.
She wasn't sure exactly when it happened. It could have been that last fight with a Sentinel, but Rory had been feeling funny long before that. She hadn't thought much of it - it wasn't surprising that she'd feel run down after they way they'd been living. But she realized that the mutants she'd surrounded herself with were a threat that needed to be eliminated, and she attacked.
She didn't win, but she wasn't about to give up. No matter how many times they knock her down, Rory is going to get back up again and finish the job. That's just who she was now. She was a sentinel.
Personality: Rory acts fearless, because she feels like she has reason to be. Nothing’s ever gone too badly before Blair found a way to fix it all, and Rory has utter faith in her sister. Living in fear of her disease has changed her some; the only ones she really cares about are Blair and herself. People she should care about or at least feel pity for get nothing out of her. Rory will try anything once, sometimes twice, just to get the experience. She tends to make a bigger deal out of the bad things in her life, sometimes, for the attention or just to play the guilt trip card.
