Name: Claire Destine

Codename: Limos

Age: 18

Country of Origin: Scotland

Hometown: Aberdeenshire, Peterhead

Birthday: October 14th

Power: Claire has the ability to eat and digest any material. Rare metals, powerful acids, unstable energy forms, if she can get it into her mouth, she can eat it. Her teeth are capable of biting through unbreakable adamantium alloys and her digestive tract is more of a hyperdense singularity capable of containing an enormous amount of matter without causing any sort of ill-effect to the rest of her body.

It is not known how she actually draws nutrients from anything she eats, but early studies of her biology suggest she might act as some sort of fusion reactor. Matter is drawn into the singularity and the energy to power her body is released from the resulting fusion reaction. The supervising scientist said about this theory, “That’s ridiculous. This is ridiculous. You’re all ridiculous.” More study is needed.

Claire also has a highly sensitive taste of taste. She is able to distinguish variations in chemical structures at a molecular level.

Due to her unique parentage, Claire has a bit of an extended lifespan and might expect to live for 200 – 300 years. Her aging is only slowed, not halted, and she has no additional resistance to disease or injury.

Personality: Claire is a bubbly, optimistic, and reckless space-case. She often acts recklessly or impulsively and rarely takes the time to think through the consequences of her actions. She trusts people easily and falls in love quickly, but she can be difficult for others to rely on due to her whimsical nature.

Description: Claire is slightly taller than average with a skinny frame. She naturally has curly, brown hair, but has recently dyed and straightened it to avoid being recognized by whoever is after her. She has green eyes and usually looks like she’s not paying much attention to what is going on around her.

Background: Claire is the grand-daughter of Adam Destine, a Saxon warrior under Norman rule granted immortality by Elaylth, a genie who he rescued and fell in love with during the Crusades. Adam and Elaylth had many children, each born with abilities that marked them as different from the rest of mankind. The family stayed in the shadows of history, preferring to live their lives without being noticed, but in the modern-era that became more and more difficult. One of Adam’s children, Newton Destine, invented the Relative Stranger Protocols in response. These protocols provided established identities with no connection to one another and protected the family from being discovered through a variety of security measures and procedures. This allowed the various members of the Destine clan to avoid discovery by all but the most dedicated individuals.

Claire’s father was a man named Vincent Destine. Vincent was a very powerful member of the family with an enormous amount of control over time and space. During his wanderings through the world, Vincent met Claire’s mother, Miranda Davis, in Peterhead. Her mother was a rare books and antiquities dealer working out of a small shop. They had a short but passionate affair and Claire was the result.

Vincent didn’t stay in Claire’s life very long. He left when she was only a year old, when she was too young to have anything more than a few scattered emotional impressions. In her dreams, she sometimes remembers him saying something, but the words are always gibberish.

Claire loved Peterhead. She grew up living in the back of the bookstore and playing along the docks, learning about fishing and sailing from all of her cousins and uncles. She collected shells and the trinkets usually sold to tourists.

She was happy.

She was five years old when her powers began to manifest. She was horribly sick and feverish for several days. Her stomach felt like it was burning. Her mother was ready to take her to the emergency room when her father walked in. He looked almost identical to the way he had looked when he left.

He told her mother Claire would be fine. He sat by her bed and read to her until her fever broke. He explained that she was different. She wasn’t human. He looked disappointed as he explained that the change was something of a physical mutation, an ability to consume any sort of matter.

He didn’t explain anything about the Destine family. Instead, he lied and told her she was a mutant. And whether that was to protect his daughter or his brothers and sisters will never be clear to Claire, because he left for the last time while she was sleeping. It wasn’t much long afterwards that Vincent Destine died. Killed by Adam Destine to protect the family and the world.

At eighteen, Claire had started working nights serving drinks at a bar one of her uncles owned for some extra money. In the early morning, she was walking back to the bookstore, when she heard an explosion. She rushed towards her home and saw a fiery pit where her life had been. A blue monster cradled her mother’s body in his arms as he walked out of the flames.

Without thinking where she was going, Claire ran. The next few days was a blank space in her memory, but when she finally came out of shock, she was on a boat heading to London. She’s a mutant. There are people that help mutants there. Because she needs help. The beast is coming for her.

And the rest of Clan Destine is not far behind.

Maybe if enough different things are after students they'll all clash at the gates and take care of each other...

I'd often wondered if Scots evolved superior tolerance to haggis.
