Mariot

He who does not stand firm on principles and has neither wide knowledge nor penetrating judgment is not worthy to be a companion ~~ Mo Tzu
Introduction xxxxxA recent immigrant to the Colonies, Mariot has been recruited to teach at the prestigious academy run by Charles Xavier. That she lacks any formal qualifications in the role might be considered a little unusual, but the Academy does have a rather eclectic recruitment policy, doesn't it? Still, there're rumours that she was formerly quite a high-ranking officer in the British Army, and that there might be a bit more to her role than just making use of her university studies... History xxxxxAll-girls boarding school; two prestigious universities; the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst; the British Army's Intelligence Corps; Iraq; Afghanistan... and then Major Mariot Gall drops off the public radar. Honourably discharged on medical grounds, she disappeared from view for some time, before resurfacing with a firm job offer - and the necessary paperwork as a skilled professional providing unique talents - to take up a post at Xavier's Academy for the Gifted in a sleepy little town outside New York City. Powers xxxxxPut simply, mutant abilities can't "lock on" to Mariot. She doesn't show up like lead to superman's x-ray vision: she's simply imperceptible to mutant powers. Of course, many abilities require no power-based perception or targeting to affect her: a mutant who devastates a city block with an earthquake, or who simply punches her with super-strength, isn't using his power to target her. Anything which requires a specific "lock", however, runs up against her defences. The precise details of this can get a little complex... but for most purposes anything directly affecting her (a power that stops her heart, changes her emotions, alters her shape, etc) will fizzle, while anything indirect (enhancing the power-user himself, generating an effect away from her, etc) or affecting someone else is likely to work. xxxxxThese defences can be extended to others by touch, though this is taxing. Determined mutants can try to force their way through her defences, though few are powerful enough to do so without other drains on her willpower and energy. Connections Friends Moira MacTaggert: There's a reason for Mariot having found her way to Xavier's Academy, and the Academy's hidden co-founder is it... Foes Coming soon. And everything in between Coming soon.
