Timeline

Timeline:
2024: Born to parents on the run and in hiding as fugitive Mutants.
2030: Orphaned during a Sentinel Attack on Xavier's school. Found barely alive by soldiers who used drugs to neutralize her.
2032: After years of torture and brainwashing / behavior modification, Rachel became a Mutant Hound. Her powers let her sense mutants and track them down.
2040: Shame, guilt, and rage over having hunted and killed mutants for the government, some of the mutants being her friends and loved ones... Rachel was finally pushed over the edge during a 'therapy' (torture) session, and broke her brainwashing and rebelled before being placed in a Mutant Internment Camp named the South Bronx Mutant Containment Facility. At this point, she was sixteen years old.
2044: After spending four years living in the camp, Rachel found survivors of the X-Men, and joined in their plan to end the evil of the Sentinels, via temporal manipulation. Friends she made at that time included Magneto, Wolverine, and Kate Pryde (not Kitty), and also Franklin Richards.
2046: Having become Franklin's lover, Rachel began to feel a sense of self worth despite the hideous brands on her face and despite her guilt and shame about her past. But more pivotal was the day Rachel and Franklin found a way to neutralize their power-nullifying collars and escape with the X-Men.
2047: Several failed attempts to alter the past led Rachel to trying something out of desperation. The remnants of the X-Men along with Franklin and her, were trapped and soon to be killed by Nimrod, and refusing to give in to despair, Rachel impressed the Phoenix Force that had been bonded with her ever since she was born. After all, in this reality, it never cocooned Jean, it merely bonded with her fully. So she passed it down in her genetics to her daughter.... when the Phoenix Force sensed such strong will, and such a need and a stubbornness that teetered on the edge of madness, along with the utter desperation... (After all, at this point, the only survivors of Nimrod's assault were herself and Kate Pryde... and she was just watching Kate give her life, phasing through Nimrod's CPU and then turning fully solid inside, destroying herself -and- Nimrod..). The other Sentinels were all moving in to finish off the last mutant present, blasting at Rachel's telekinetic shields with a combined assault that would overwhelm her in moments... That was when the Phoenix Force decided to bond with her -power-, and flames burst forth throughout the room. But Rachel's mind was focused on restoring what should be. On fixing all of this before it happened. That was the entire plan that the X-Men had been working on for years. Suddenly... Rachel was somewhere else. She was in the same -location-, but not the same time.
2020: Rachel appears in New York City in the past... maybe the future -can- be changed. She needs to find her friends.. she needs to find Kitty. But.. why is she on fire? What is this voice in her head telling her that she has more power than she was ever aware of?

Personality

Personality:
Rachel is a tormented soul who refuses to give in to sadness and despair. She is full of guilt and shame for the acts that she performed when she was a Hound for Ahab and the Sentinels. She is grieving for her friends and for the man she fell in love with.. Franklin. She misses the touch of his hands, the feel of him next to her.
But she never quite learned how to quit, how to surrender to the darkness inside. She was at the edge of hopelessness, and exhaustedly pushing forward when she should have died. But her sudden arrival in the past has filled her with a renewed sense of possibility, but more importantly, something she thought she would never feel again.. HOPE!
It is time to do whatever she needs to do in order to change the future for the better. To save her friends and family. And maybe, just maybe she might find Franklin again.

Character Sheet

Powers

Click to expand.

Empathy:
Rachel has strong Empathic powers, allowing her to feel the emotions of others, but also to alter them. She can influence others with emotions of her choice... changing the feelings, sensations, and emotions of organic sentients.

Telekinesis:
Rachel also possesses Omega level Telekinetic abilities. When used at its most basic level, she can move massive amounts of weight or project vast amounts of telekinetic force. There are some applications that she can perform of a more subtle and detailed nature. Most of these are subconscious as she is still coming to terms with having the awakened Phoenix Force within her.
Force Field: Rachel protects herself with a shield of telekinetic energy that is virtually impentrable if she is focused on it. If it is a more passive thing, then it is weaker but by no means considered 'weak'. It would take heavy high explosives, or concentrated power such as Warship scale weapons to breach it in passive mode. But every hit makes it harder to maintain. So overloading her shield is possible. Three or four blows from someone of Colossus's strength would breach it in passive mode. If she is focused on her shield to the exclusion of all else, it would take truly staggering power levels to bring it down. Something like Superman at full force, a fusion warhead, or Power Cosmic level blasts. This doesn't mean that she won't be bounced about inside the shield like a rock in a suitcase however.
Projected Force: When used offensively, she can project blasts of staggering force. These -are- kinetic energy at its most basic, so anyone capable of resisting such pure force can handle them. She can crush an armored tank with one of these blasts. If however, she is enraged to the point of losing control, the Phoenix Force will augment these blasts to truly ludicrous degrees. She will just have less control over them and might harm friends or foes. So she tries not to let go of her discpline and control if possible.
Flight: She can control herself and fly at high speeds. When reaching supersonic speeds, she will be seen to have a full Phoenix aura about her.
Phoenix Aura: She can call upon the Phoenix Force to manifest itself directly and the wings and claws of the aura inflict both physical and mental damage upon contact.
Plot Device: The Phoenix Force at its most primal is a device for the plot and story to progress forward. Anyone who is running a story or scene is encouraged to use this to provide jump off points or plot tie-ins to make things work more easily. In whatever way improves the story of course.

Telepathy:
Rachel's power level is classified as an Omega Level Mutant. This puts her potential off of many charts. While she has not achieved her -full- potential at this point, she has been boosted by her bond with the Phoenix Force.
She can read minds and transmit her thoughts to human or animal minds within a range that has yet to be fully measured. She only knows that it is vast.
Telepathic Defense: Rachel's psionic abilities shield her own mind subconsciously. It would take a tremendous amoutn of telepathic power to breach her defenses.
Telepathic Illusions: She has the ability to place images in the minds of others that are realistic enough to make them interact with the illusions. With a push, it can go so deep that the target only thinks they are responding to them when in reality they are merely frozen and it is all in their mind.
Mental Paralysis: An advanced version of the Illusions, Rachel can simply make a target (or multiple targets for shorter durations in direct proportion to the number of targets) unable to take action or even receive sensory input for a time while she concentrates upon them.
Mental Blasts: Rachel can project telepathic energy directly into the mind of a target. These blasts can cause pain and neural disruption in a target. These can cause unconsciousness or even brain death if a target is already weakened or not of strong will. Or if blasted repeatedly.
Astral Projection: Rachel can project her consciousness out astrally. This takes a lot of effort and time to perform, and can only be maintained for a short duration at present, but in this form she can only be perceived by those capable of seeing astral forms, and can travel at vast speeds at an unlimited range where it can be barred by magical or psionic shielding and can perceive the world around it. At present, it takes so much focus for her to project that sne cannot use her telepathic or telekinetic abilities while projected astrally.
Telepathic Detection: The power that made her valued as a hound, Rachel can sense the presence of psychic beings or at closer range, she can actually sense mutant genetics via her psionic sensory abilities.

Skills

Click to expand.

Close Combat:
While not a full expert, Rachel trained in hand to hand combat in her timeline since battle was around the corner at any given moment. She can take care of herself in most mundane situations without resorting to her powers.

Repair:
Rachel is also adept at taking machines apart and putting them back together. She had many chances to learn the ins and outs of how advanced technology functioned. For example... Sentinels. So she is quite adept at learning such things.

Thief:
In her future, Rachel trained in picking locks and all of the various skills one might use as a Cat Burgler. She could do some serious B&E damage if she chose to.

Resources

Click to expand.

Phoenix Force:
Yes, Rachel has access to some of the Phoenix Force. The sentient sum of all psionic power in the universe. But she does not have unrestricted access to it. She can call on it for its enigmatic advice if she focuses hard enough.

X-Men:
In the future, Rachel worked with the X-Men. In the present day, there is no reason to believe that she will not be taken in by them and treated as an ally and / or family.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Control:
Rachel has -just- discovered her bond with the Phoenix Force. She is lacking in the control department where her boosted powers are concerned. Any time she goes into Phoenix Power Levels, she risks losing control of the power, and having it run rampant, affecting friends and foes alike. At first, she is not fully aware of this, but her control could improve as time progresses.

Hunter Marks:
She was not aware of this, but the marks on her face and back had a more interesting effect than pure cosmetic. In her future, they had embedded nanotech that would, when activated, allow her to be tracked. They are not active currently, but if discovered, they could be used against her and against anyone near to her as it is remotely possible that they could be used to dirupt her nervous system. If that was done at the wrong time, she could totally lose control of the Phoenix Power.

Magic:
While the Phoenix is very powerful, even it does not know what to do with or make of magic and magical objects. She cannot affect or override magical curses or other effects. Even the full power of the Phoenix Force would never pull the sword from the stone, so to speak.

Traumatized:
Due to her time of torture and brainwashing, Rachel is emotionally scarred and traumatized. At any given time, things she sees or otherwise perceives could cause her to have flashbacks or to react in an irrational way. Seeing a young girl crying might make her lash out at the perceived cause of this, even if it was just that the child dropped her ice cream cone, for example.
