AGENT OF DESTINY: No
BACKGROUND:

| POLARIS GIFTED WIKIA ( incomplete )
| THE GIFTED SEASON 1 WIKI

POWERS:
MAGNETOKINESIS > Lorna has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, giving her a range of talents associated with it

MAGNETIC MANIPULATION > At a basic level, Lorna is able to manipulate ferromagnetic metals. This gives her an ability to move metals in any way she wishes. While she had a limited range once before, her pregnancy has enhanced her ability to a greater power and range. As such, so long as Lorna can react, she can use her abilities near instantly. This means she's able to stop bullets, and even shoot them back. She has strength enough to tear a moving plane apart, as well, though it takes a tremendous amount of effort on her part. Through manipulation of metals, Lorna is also able to make herself fly. This is only possible if she's wearing metals on her body, which she does often ever since she made this discovery at 16. Due to her ability to manipulate ferromagnetic metals, she's also able to sense where these metals may be found. This means she can also sometimes sense people nearby ( with concentrated effort ) due to trace metals in their systems.

ELECTROMAGNETISM > Using magnetic fields, Lorna can manipulate electric currents. She can force currents to reverse, surge and burst, and create EMP fields that take out electronics in the vicinity. She can also tamper with walkie-talkie and cellphone frequencies. As with sensing ferromagnetic metals, Lorna is able to sense electrical currents, including electromagnetic pulses in living creatures nervous systems ( again, with great concentration. )

STARTING EQUIPMENT:

- Clothes on her back (leather jacket with studs, deep cut top, jeans with dangling chains on them, steel toed boots, bracelets, etc.)
- 1 burner phone
- her Daemon looks like a medallion given to her on her 13th birthday. It's name is Magnetd.

SAMPLES:

It's a strange feeling going from deafening chaos into near utter silence. The sound of the waves nearby are loud enough, but compared to the chaos of the hounds that had just attacked her home, they were nothing. Her hands dig at the sand and snow as Lorna tries to grasp the situation. It's not really a comprehensible one. Her eyes scan wildly over the beach for anything that would put this world into some sort of framework.

It only really gets weirder, though.

Laying not too far in front of her was something she wasn't holding on her person when she left through the door. A medallion, one she kept but didn't carry around everywhere.

Yet there it lay, red and glistening against the white snow.

Lorna climbed up onto her knees, still dazed as she reached for the medallion. She held it in her lap, squinting as she continued to look up and down the beach. There were no answers, but she seemed to be hoping some might magically appear. And sure enough, they did.

When the medallion spoke, she eyed it with strange curiosity. Yet she took into account all it had to say, and when it finally asked for a name, she gave it one. "Magnet--.... Magnet. Just Magnet." Somehow, she seemed closer to Magneto than she'd ever been. That didn't mean she had to invite him into her life, though. Even just by name.

Magnetd, then. The daemon settles on.

She finally stands, and a thought occurs to her. "Hey Magnet...d? Did the X-Men come here?"

I have no records of "X-MEN" currently.

"Of course not. That'd be too easy," She sighs heavily as she starts to walk along the beach. She throws the medallion in the air, letting it flip before catching it with her magnetism. "Guess I'm doing this all over again."

EXIT STRATEGY:

D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. infiltrated a program to turn mutants into weapons called the Hound program to use to it's advantage. Red soldiers in the form of mutant hounds swarmed where the Mutant Underground was meeting, just as Lorna was leaving with her newly formed Hellfire Club. She tried to get herself and others out the door, but when she tried to leave as well she ended up in a beach instead of just outside the building.

ANYTHING ELSE:

On her pregnancy - I would like Lorna to have her pregnancy suspended. She'd still be pregnant, but the pregnancy wouldn't progress past where it is currently. Meaning that she needs to be careful of any risks she would take that might hurt her pregnancy, but we don't run into any problems of her having the baby before season 2 comes out.

On baby!affected powers - While all the lines of her powers vs. the baby's assistance haven't been drawn, the biggest difference seems to be Lorna's range and need to strain herself. Early in the show, Lorna can't affect a drone that is too high in the sky and outside her range. At the end of the series, she can tear a plane from the sky ( though it was taking off, so not fully in the air ). She's also shown to be able to move several large metal poles with ease early on, but later during the pregnancy shown to shut a large vault door with just the flick of her wrist. She could do the latter with a lot of strain and concentration, but she remarks that with the baby she's able to do it at that distance with just a flick.
