Description

Description:
Five girls, young, each one a carbon copy of the other and almost perfectly beautiful by today's standards, like works of art. The Cuckoos reflect maturity beyond their age. Despite the twinge of constant youthful curiosity in their eyes, the girls exude responsibility and sophistication, almost as if they come from nobility and good breeding stock. With figures of lithe dancers, they have the curves and shapes that often get an appraising eye or wicked and intent grin.

Silky blonde hair of spun gold, cut just above the shoulder line. The features of their face are fair, retaining a strong distinctive British heritage, as if they were crafted with the most artistic hands, yet there is nothing fragile or delicate about their beauty, more dangerous and possibly deadly. Then you come to the eyes, like gems of cut blue ice given life. harbouring an awareness and cold pierce that can send shivers down one's spine

Normal mode of dress consists of a classy but sexy uniform of a white dressy blouse, with a black school uniform blazer overtop, and a matching pencil skirt, giving them an almost business-like quality. Their legs are bare other than the white knee socks stretched tightly, displaying the lengthy athleticism and smooth skin, and their feet are adorned with a black pair of girl's loafers. Top it off with a tennis bracelet around their wrists, a sensible pair of silver earrings and an expensive looking black and white diamond choker around their necks.

History

History:

The history of the Cuckoos is a short one, in that they're technically not even a year old yet. The story of clones tend to have that lack of depth and yet they're so full of drama. Starting when Emma Frost was kidnapped by one Mister Sinister, the clone's piece of genetic sample was taken from the White Queen against her will and even her knowledge. Skip ahead and Sinister would have been coerced with a large sum of money and favor to sell the sample (At least a portion of it) and the buyer quickly went to work creating his greatest weapon. The Thousands of clones that will be used to take over the world! With the aging artificially sped up, the man sent out a quintuplet of his creations out into the world. He was overly careful to avoid having his own mind read by the group of girls. The five were given names, and identities and sent out in the world with a simple goal to infiltrate and report about how best to remove the X-Men from their 'father's' way in order to take over the world.

Personality

Personality:
After getting some time in the Xavier Institute, the girls, while still a hive mind, developed individual personality traits: Phoebe has demonstrated some aggressive behavior, Esme is power hungry and rather selfish, Sophie is heroic, and along with Esme they are both above the rest in terms of power and are able to lead the hivemind, Irma enjoys playing piano, and is the most romantic, Celeste was initially the most timid and affectionate of the Cuckoos, she is the third contender for the leader position and is generally defined by being more mature than the others. According to her sisters, Celeste has began to think she is better than them. Celeste has urged her sisters to watch something a bit more self-improving than Glee.

Collectively, For their age, the girls are pretty well put together. They lack a lot of the immaturity associated with girls their age. Like Emma, they have a very refined nature which is displayed in their usual mode of dress and the way they carry themselves. They can be cold, well-spoken and knowledgeable. They do what they have to do to get what they need to get done, regardless of feelings from others or circumstances with extreme results at times, giving them a questionable sense of ethics. Despite their vast powers, they rely primarily on cunning. They can be ruthless, but care deeply for their friends. The Cuckoos are supremely confident in their abilities, yet tend to underestimate their adversaries and allies alike. Perhaps their most defining personality trait is their desire to be in control, both of herself and their environment.

Abilities

Hive Mind:
The Stepford Cuckoos have a linked hive mind, which allows them to share thoughts and maintain a continuous telepathic connection. The link is strongest when the girls are in close physical proximity. This mental phalanx also allows for increased telepathic strength and shared intellect. The girls' powers are greater the sum of its parts. A stronger personality can take lead of the hive mind, but the girls still maintain their independence.

Telepaths:
Telepathy: The Cuckoos can read minds and project their thoughts to others with a range of roughly 200 meters. Though they individually possess their own telepathy, but their telepathic abilities are greater when the girls join together. The girls have stated that together they can block even very talented telepaths from reading their minds. Only able to use their mind altering within 50 meters and 10 meters respectively. Even at their young age, they're nearly on par with 'mother' only in sheer telepathic strength. They lack the finesse, precision and experience that Emma Frost possesses, yet they are capable of an array of telepathic skills:

-Illusions: The Cuckoos can create realistic psychic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.

-Mind Alteration: The Cuckoos are able to alter the minds of others by force of will. This can be restoring memories or transferring knowledge.

-Telepathic Tracking: The Cuckoos' psionic senses enable them to detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations or thought patterns. This ability is highly sensitive to proximity, but can be enhanced with the use of Cerebra.

-Astral Projection: The Cuckoos are capable of sending astral projections, astral travel, and communicating with others astrally through their own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others.

-Paralysis: The Cuckoos are able to effect certain areas of the brain to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.

-Memory Erasure and Restoration: The Cuckoos can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia. They can also restore memories.

-Mental Triangulation: Due to their hive mind, the Cuckoos have the perspective of multiple directions and are able to triangulate on individuals' minds. Flawless Diamond Form:
Flawless Organic Diamond Form: Like their biological mother, the Cuckoos have the ability to transform themselves into a flexible, translucent, organic diamond-like substance while retaining mobility. In this form, their skin is as hard as real diamond. In this state, food and water are not needed for a undetermined amount of time. Their diamond form does require a conscious hold as however. Unlike Emma Frost, their diamond forms are completely flawless. Nothing can enter or escape from their core. However, maintaining this form for extended period of time reduces their emotional capabilities. While in their Diamond form, the girls have specific traits:

Telepathic Immunity: Although they are immune to all psychic powers, they can not use their telepathy.

Superhuman Strength: In diamond form they can lift 2 tons.(maximum)

Superhuman Stamina: Their diamond form grants the ability to sustain peak exertion for up to a day.

Superhuman Durability: Their diamond form augments their skin, bone, and muscle to become stronger and harder than human. They're far more durable in this form, but capable of being shattered or broken by diamond objects or harder than such with enough or repeated force.

Compartmental Diamond Transformation: Unlike Emma, the Cuckoos can selectively transform discrete parts of their bodies.

Skills

Acting:
The Cuckoos are gifted and talented actresses, in that they not only divine the reactions that are expected of them, but they're able to pull them off nearly perfectly with their own flair. The girls have seen and gleamed a few reactions off people that they're able to recreate at any time, yet these motions and reactions still feel alien and false to the girls.

Home Training:
Taught by cold, calculating and manipulative scientists, the girls are aware of their powers and have several ideas of what they can do with them, and not taught how to use them with hesitation. They will kill and assimilate knowledge like they were taught to.

Scientifically Minded:

The girl's don't quite possess emotions like normal humans or mutants, they're too fresh in the world and thus they possess a Spock like, analytical mind allowing them to think and process information entirely without emotional inhibitors. This is due to their rather, sci-fi up bringing and birthing process. The girls are incredibly open minded as far as what's scientifically possible.

Resources

ExpandClick to expand.

Cuckoos:
The Cuckoos can always rely on their sisters. The five are rarely ever apart, so they always are ready to help each other out in any situation, as there's safety in numbers and especially when those numbers have a connection beyond their physical groupings, but an incredibly powerful mental connection. That's to say nothing of the nearly one thousand dormant fellow clones back at the lab where they Cuckoos were originally grown.

Nanocarriers:
The 'father' figure did install in them nano-machines that are capable of broadcasting, and recording through their bones and brainstems, meaning they possess within them, advanced scientific technology, built for spying and recording for their nameless 'father'.

Unknown Benefactor:
The Cuckoos do have a 'father' in a nameless man that was the one that started the cloning process and instilled them their goals and purposes, and despite the head strong nature they all possess, they're welcome back to the 'facility' they come from though to return would be a slight admission of failure and that's something the Cuckoo's refuse to allow to occur. But the resources are there.

Xavier's:

The girls have access to Xavier's for a room and a school offered phone (That the girls refuse) and the laptops and a few others items. Like vehicles and clothes and bathrooms and shampoo and conditioners.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Born Yesterday:
The Cuckoos are beyond naïve, they're less than a year old despite their advanced physical appearances. They have to look into a person's mind in order to understand how they're supposed to respond to nearly any social situation.

Cuckoos:
The clones are exactly that, clones. They're young, inexperienced, and actually quite impressionable, yet that goes with their powers as well. The hive mind ability is actually quite vulnerable to a fellow unknown telepath getting linked into the five's mental pentagram. They could disconnect the hive mind, or block access to it in any number of ways. Needless to say they're physically weak and quite easy to overpower in the physical realms.

Emotionless:
The girls are technically orphans with no spiritual or even physical mother and father, they only had the biological mother and a man who taught them purpose and a few basic things to allow his 'scouts' and 'experiments' into the world as a test run. They don't have emotional teachings, or a maternal figure who taught them rights and wrongs, or a paternal figure to show them the paths of social situations or how to use their hearts AND their minds in unison. They're severely crippled in nearly all social aspects.

Inexperienced:
The girls have been in this world a short time and as such, they haven't encountered other telepaths except for themselves and they've been told about their 'mother' so they don't have the mental barriers any telepath would quickly learn to have erected to protect their mind from not only attacks, but also strong enough thoughts. They have a sort of 'always on' mental reading, uncaring of others as they probe into others with reckless abandon. They also don't think about leaving mental residue or a sort of psychic signature in their probings or even reading that they do.

New Telepaths:
They are not only knew to life, they're new to their bodies and new to their telepathy, and as such they don't know everything they CAN do with their powers, and yet on the flip side, they're afraid to be apart from each other, as it feels alien and dangerous to be alone and an individual. They feel their own weakness and it feels, unwhole. They can over do it on their powers, and initially they wont be afraid to look into people's minds and extract what they deem is important.

Unknown Host:

The quintuplets, (As are the rest of the unawaken clones) are all infested with nano-bots in their bone marrow, making them nearly impossible to detect, and even harder to counter. The machines do not send a detectable signal, unless requested to by an outside source, meaning they are only active when they're ordered to. They provide GPS and various other forms of feedback to the unknown individuals running the cloning facility and weapons program they're a part of.
