Claris Cox | |||||||||||
Hi! My name's Claris. That's me in the pictures there, along with my pet Bob. I'm 14 years old, well, age wise anyway. Physically I look about 20. Confused? Don't be. It's a long story, but it's best if I start from the begining. I was born December 31st, 1986. My parents were Robert and Sarah Cox, two well known and very respected scientists. My father was a biologist, my mother a chemist. Both of them taught me a lot, and not just in science. From the time I was little I was smart, always ahead of all the other kids my age. I was alone most of the time, because everyone was a little afraid of my genius, but that was ok. I really didn't even notice, I was so wrapped up in my work. When I was about eight I did my first ever creation by myself. That was Bob. I combined rabbit and cat DNA and came up with her. She's a loyal pet, but only a pet. I have two rules about my science. Never use it for harm, and never use it for profit. Otherwise, anything goes! A few months after I created Bob I became the orphan I am now. It was my fault completely. In most cases the children blame it on themselves when they really didn't do anything. Well, in my case it's true. I was working in the lab late one night on an experiment and something went wrong. It blew up the lab, and most of the house with it. I survived somehow, my parents didn't. So I was given over to the state of New York. Sent to live out the rest of my childhood in an orphanage in New York City, I never imagined anything like this would happen to me. What's "this"? I'm getting to that. First thing that happened in my entry in to the mutant world was I met Mhorg. I can't really explain her. She was a nice person, let me stay in her hotel room for a while. When she didn't come back, I left, like I usually do, to go back to the orphanage. That's the first time I saw V. Now V I can explain. Well, sort of. Later. Anyway, after encountering her my next, and biggest, thing happened. I met Logan. He's the sweetest, most kind person I believe I'll ever meet. The man can do no wrong. Even Bob likes him, and she doesn't like anyone but me. Anyway, I became friends with Logan. It was him who told me about my powers, and that I wasn't going crazy, I was just a telepath. He helped me control it, a little since he isn't a tele- tel- telepath himself. I also met Doctor Cecelia Reyes. She's really pretty and really smart and really nice. Of course, curious scientist I am, I had to go and mess around with nature. I'd been messing around with the idea of an aging formula for some time. But when I started staying at the hospital I finally had an opportunity to test it. I got everything together, and one night when Logan dropped by I used it. It... didn't really turn out as planned. Instead of aging gradually, but faster than normal, over a period of years, I aged six years in about a minute or two. Yeah, I know. Major bummer, as they would say. So now I look twenty instead of fourteen. And my power increased as well, so much so that I couldn't control it at first. I've gotten the hang of it, I think, but my headaches are getting worse. I'm not sure what's causing them. Anyway, now we come back to V. I had no other place to go, I felt guilty about going back to the hospital, so I ended up living on the streets again when I met V for the second time. She offered me a place to stay and a lab to work in in exchange for me making her older. Only problem is she's technically dead. I still haven't been able to explain it, but I'm working hard on it. Another strange thing that happened to me was when I went shopping with- you guessed it- Logan. Yes, he actually went shopping. Anyway, I got sucked in to this Mojoverse place with all these other people that Logan knows and I got attacked by a silver wolf thing and a stuffed Pikachu. Sound crazy? Well, it is. But it's still true. We all got out of it. Well, except for two women. Um. I'm not really sure what happened to them. And I met the shopping mall queen! Although I didn't know shopping malls were a monarchy... Anyway, that's it for now. I'll keep you guys updated as I get in to more trouble... erm, adventure. |
