When Anita Marie's Mother came down with a fatal illness it allowed her father to enforce the "discipline" he thought would do his daughter some good. Anita was both physically and emotionally beaten as she tried desperately to gain her father's approval. On her wy home from school she was attacked by a man who had every intention of raping her. In a desperate attempt to get away she ended up killing him (stabbing with a broken beer bottle). She has waited guiltily to pay the price for her sin but was suprised to find nobody was collecting. Theodore Macintyre the leader of the Kindred a group of assassins had witnessed Anita's first kill and had been impressed by the girl's ability to...well, basically not throw up at the idea of taking a human life. He had kidnapped the young 14 year old and trained her to become one of the greatest killers the world had ever seen. It had been difficult for Anita was a martyr and was willing to die for the cause she believed in. With great care and a lot of bull sh** he was able to convice her other wise...and Holly Cross was born.
She later found out she had the ability to read minds and be alarmingly sensitive to the feelings of others (empathic). After a crash course in the Xavier Institute she was able to control her powers. Anita is currently 21 years old and has supposedly turned over a new leaf but how long can she last and how loyal are her friends? Loyal enough to follow her into the dark side should she ever turn to it?
Magick was born with metamorphic wings that changed according to her mood. she was also extremely capable at wielding Magicks. around the age of ten, she realized she could separate her brain, or conciseness from her body. at first she used this to her advantage and took up a life of super crime. However after about a year she decided to ditch her body all together, leaving it in a comatose like state. Magick's parents who did not know about her powers panicked and called the police. Realizing that her secret identity was about to be discovered, Magick reunited with her body and took up super villainy again. She was caught by S.H.I.E.L.D, but did not go to jail in extainge for working as an S.H.I.E.L.D agent for a year. she is now free and on her own, not quite reformed but no longer focused on a life of crime.
Slight was never really that speacial. He went to school just like any other kid his age. But what he didn't know was that he was the host for the cosmic entity the Oracle. In a sense, the oracle was the alter ego of the Phoenix, sharing its power. It was only when Slight was attacked by a mugger, when his power first manifested. Times seemed to freeze itself. The Oracle, who shortly after revealing himself to Professor Xavier of the X-Men, had the power to control water. Slight was told that he was a mutant, with the power to control water, and telekinesis. Wiith the Oracle within him, this power was greatley inhanced, and could over come Slights own humanity. On his 16th birthday, and having been with the X-Men a while, the Prof. sent Slight on a mission. Little did he know that he was going to be in for the fight of his life on that day. While he was away, the X-Men prepped for his surprise party, while Magneto prepared to attack the New York bridge. On his way back to the Manshion, Slight saw the commotion on the bridge, he went to check out what was going on and as soon as he got to the bridge, a piece of shrapnell flew into his side. Bleeding the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants showed themselves. Magneto came down from above, and said Where are your X- friends. He began to rant about his devotion to the cause, while Slight realized that he would bleed to death. Using water as a gauze patch the wound seemed to heal at a rapid speed. It was of little use because soon after he blacked out. Waking up in an unknown tower, Slight walked the hall and found the Brotherhood had taken him to a secret base. He sat down and was lectured by the one and only Magneto, on how he could be so much more, If he joined the Brotherhood. Slight left and went out to the surrounding beach. Calling for his teamates who had obviously forgotten about him, Slight flew to the only visible land. When he made landfall, he realized that he was back in New York, where he noticed a sign for the New-Outsiders. He decided that this was a perfect opportunity for him. He soon spoke to the team leader who welcomed him in.
