Character Name: Robert “Bobby” Drake / Iceman
Series: X Men (movieverse; X2 in specific)
Timeline: Right after the first psychic assault.
Background: Wiki link here that does not have a lot of information, and second movie summary here. (Part of his history is assumptions on my part, and coloured blue accordingly. Fanon related to Pyro was cleared with Buggy <3 )
Bobby was born to two well-off parents in Boston, Massachusetts, who later had a younger brother named Ronnie. His childhood was relatively normal, and he went to local private schools in Boston, his parents wanting him to get a good education and a good job when he was older. They were good parents, but placed heavy expectations on their son's shoulders; expectations he did his best to meet, and frequently succeeded in.
When he was 13, his mutant powers of ice manipulation manifested, and before his parents could find out, Xavier approached him with an offer to bring him to his private boarding school in North Salem, Westchester County, New York. It was, he explained, a school for mutants, where one could learn to control their powers and blend in with the humans. Bobby, frightened but also curious, agreed, and Xavier convinced his parents to let him come to the Institute, saying he believed Bobby had a gift.
Upon his arrival, Bobby was placed in a room that he shared with another boy - John Allerdyce. While the two had somewhat conflicting personalities and abilities, they eventually entered a tentative friendship that only seemed stronger as the years passed. Bobby did well in school, even though he was impersonated by Mystique to poison Xavier, and watched an attack on New York by Magneto using his then-not-girlfriend, and even managed to get himself a girlfriend - Marie, also known as Rogue. Around this time his friendship with John began to get a little strained, as Bobby was more reluctant to engage in mischief.
One night, however, soon after Wolverine had returned, the mansion was attacked by Stryker and his commandos, and Bobby, Rogue, John, and Wolverine ended up escaping the mansion narrowly, and traveled to Bobby's home in Boston. When his parents and brother returned home, he revealed that he could control and manipulate ice. His parents... didn't take it so well, you could say, and his brother even less; Ronnie called the cops and claimed the mutants were holding his family hostage.
Surrounded by police, Wolverine ended up getting shot, and John torched the cops, only stopped by Rogue's taking his power briefly. They were rescued by the X-Men that had been away on a mission, and Bobby reluctantly left his family behind.
The X-Jet was nearly shot down by two jets, a harrowing experience, but they were saved by Magneto, who told them the Professor and the captured mutants were at Alkali Lake, where they headed next. Bobby, Rogue and John were left in the jet while the others went out, and John left the Jet, claiming that he didn't want to wait around. Bobby did not go with him, and that would be the last that Bobby would see of John for a long while.
There was a psychic assault on the mutants not long after John left, and Bobby nearly passed out from the pain. When he comes to again, however, that is when he'll arrive on the Elegante!
Personality: Bobby is an everyman, as they say; he's friendly, and tries to get along with anyone as best as he can, preferring not to cause too many waves. However, he appears to have something of a playful, prankster side, as evidenced by his first interactions with Rogue and his interactions with Pyro in the first movie. He is friends with Pyro, though the relationship has been strained as of late, and when they are together Bobby is more likely to be drug along by his friend into pranks and mischief, whereas if he is with other, more responsible types he tends to defer to them. He also shows hints (more prominent in the third movie, but he's before that) of trying to assert that he's 'grown up', and tries to be the responsible one in situations. Basically, he tries to be smart and clever, then this fails a lot.
Appearance: Bobby's about 17 years old, and while he appears to be in good shape, he's not particularly physically strong, though he is fairly agile. He's a bit pale, with blue eyes and brown hair with blonde highlights, and is of slight body build.
Spoken / written languages: English, spoken and written.
Abilities: Bobby's mutant ability allows him to create ice from moisture in the air, and to manipulate the ice that he creates, as well as lowering the temperature of the air around him. (His normal body temperature is a couple degrees below normal to facilitate this.)
At the point that he is taken, Bobby can create solid walls of ice, shoot streams of it from his hands and mouth, and create such things as snow or ice sculptures with it. He needs sufficient moisture to do this, so dry, hot areas are harder for him to create ice in. On board the Elegante, any sustained use of this ability - for longer than a half hour, or less depending on what he's doing - will start to rapidly tire him out, and he will need time to recover, at least an hour.
It should be noted that Bobby, in the future, has the ability to turn his entire body to organic ice. While he doesn't have that ability when he comes on board the Elegante, with training he may be able to obtain it, if this is okay with a mod. (And if Bobby feels up to training on a cruise ship!)
Items: Nothing except some jeans, a sweater, t-shirt and sneakers.
Third Person Sample:
The great thing about having a mutant superpower that involves creating ice, Bobby thinks, is pretty obvious. Your drink will never get cold, you can keep things frozen, you don't have to pay for ice. It's also the downside - everyone wants you to keep their drink cold, their things frozen, make their ice.
And Bobby, being the Nice Guy that he is, doesn't really ever tell them no; he'll smile and wave his hand (or more accurately take whatever they need iced in hand) and tell them it's no problem.
Thankfully, down here in the Xavier Institute's kitchens, so late at night, there's no one to ask him to freeze their stuff. Bobby can sit at the island with his tub of ice cream, kept perfectly chilled so that he can eat it at his leisure, and contemplate … things.
Like how nice and uncomplicated ice cream is compared to his life right now.
Sure, he's better off than most mutants his age - his parents don't know what he is, so they can't get rid of him for being a mutant; and he has the Institute, and good friends at the place, but...
Well, it feels like there isn't anything he can do to help those other mutants. For every bit of lobby-work that he hears the Professor or Mrs. Grey do, it seems there's something else going through that makes things worse for them.
And speaking of his friends, it's not like that's smooth like ice cream either. (Bad analogy, he thinks briefly.) Marie is awesome, pretty, she's fun to talk to, but he wants... more. And he can't have that, because if he so much as kisses her, she'll suck his life out or his brains out, and not in any fun sense. And that makes her grumpy sometimes, and he doesn't know how to make it better, though he tries. Wolverine seems to do better at it than that, and while he knows it's not like that it still makes him... feel inadequate. Jealous. And he's not used to feeling that way.
Not helping things is John, either; the flame-wielding mutant is his friend, one of his best; or at least he thought so. Lately it seems like John is more antagonistic, acting out more. Bobby would blame the state of mutant-kind, and Pyro's similar frustration over not being able to do anything, but he knows that's not it. At least, he doesn't think so. It's weird to say, but he thinks John might be jealous of his and Marie's relationship. He just doesn't know of what part of the relationship he's jealous of.
Glancing down, Bobby notes that his ice cream has gotten melted while he sludges around in his thoughts, and with a brief touch to the carton, it solidifies again.
Man, it'd be so much easier if life was more like ice cream. Simple, uncomplicated, tasty and delicious.
First Person Sample: You know that feeling you get when you're tired and you close your eyes? Wait, not feeling - those images you see. Like red, murky fireworks going off behind your eyes?
Yeah, imagine that, but in like, bright, agonizing red color, and that's what just happened in my head on the jet. What the heck just happened?
And where am I? This isn't the jet - obviously, Drake, good observation skills there.
Jeez, I sound like John in my own head.
No time for this, though. I gotta find out where I am, and find out what happened to the others.
Preferred Quarters: Anywhere is fine, but not the same floor as Pyro please.
Age: Still 19.
