The Person
Name: Scott Summers
Age: 23
Place of Birth: Anchorage, Alaska
Applying too: Xaviers
In what capacity: Student
Family: Katherine Anne Summers (Mother- Deceased), Christopher Summers (Father- Deceased), Alex Summers (estranged Brother)
Height: 6'0
Weight: 170lbs
Appearance:
Skills: Cyclops has shown a skill at leadership in his time at Xaviers and in the times when he comes out of his shell he is able to take control and act in a rational way to resolve it.
Scott is a master pilot, being so used to clocking hours in the blackbird flying the jet is like second nature to him.
Scott in his time piloting the Blackbird has learnt the inner workings of the jet, as well as studying the mechanical workings of other vehicles. Over the past five years he's been studying mechanics and now is training to be the schools mechanics teacher.
Scott has learnt to utilise his powers and use them alongside his equipment, he is a skilled marksman and can hit hard to see targets very well.
Personality: When Scott first came to the academy he was a quiet and shy boy. In social situations he can still appear quiet and uncomfortable around people. Whilst at the Academy he has come out of his shell. It started slowly, with him starting to answer more in class and offer corrections to other students. Now whilst he is still a little unsure of himself at times and finds it hard to talk to people he is unfamiliar with when he is in more formal situations, such as missions or training sessions he completely changes and becomes more of a stronger personality, giving orders and making sure he keeps everyone in line with the plan. He can be considered a bit straight laced, he doesn't like to break rules and he'd much rather be in the mansion playing video games then going out to all night raves. This can make him seem a bit boring but in reality he just dislikes anything that could get him in trouble and likes to stay in the professor's good books.

The Mutant
Codename: Cyclops
Mutant Abilities: Optic Blasts: Scott's powers revolve around the use of laser beam like blasts that fire from his eyes. When fully unleashed his blasts can level walls and kill people instantly. When his eyes are open the blasts automaticly fire and he has no known way to stop them himself. He controls his blasts with ruby glasses that stop the beams coming out of his eyes and when on missions uses a visor that he can control and use his blasts as a weapon. His optic blasts can be halted by a psychics blocking certain parts of his brain but as of yet this hasn't been discovered.
Weaknesses: Scott has no control over his abilities, meaning that with out his glasses he has to keep his eyes shut to stop himself blasting everything in an area. If his glasses or visor are removed during a fight he is more or less useless as he refuses to open his eyes in fear that he'll hurt someone seriously.
History: Scott Summers was born as the youngest child of two to Katherine Anne and Christopher Summers. Little did the family know that he and his brother were both born with the X-gene. A gene that would effect their lives greatly as they got older. Scott lived in a normal, loving relationship with his family up until the age of ten. His parents were returning from a trip to Florida visiting friends when their plane crashed in a storm, his parents died instantly. With no family to take care of them the brothers were taken in to care. Alex dealt with the loss better then Scott and the previously bright and happy child became very enclosed and shut off from the other people he shared the children's home with.
He became more closed off to everyone and inevitably Alex and Scott became further and further apart until they were totally different people. Scott spent his early teenage years trying to stay hidden, he obeyed rules to the letter and kept to himself so that no one would have an excuse to single him out for anything. When he got in to high school his quietness was noticed and quite the opposite to what he wanted he was singled out for it. A large older boy named Josh who had issues of his own took a dislike to the quiet Summers boy and begun to bully him. This made Scott more quiet and closed off. This relationship went on until Scott was sixteen. Josh hit Scott in the face but something was different this time...all the emotion he built up over the years came out at once and the anger he felt triggered his mutant powers. As he screamed in rage a powerful blast of optic energy fired through the school cutting a neat section through the school as if he was cutting a giant slice of bread.
After this incident Cyclops was terrified, as were half the school as whispers of the 'Cyclops' spread through out the community. Cyclops spent months with his eyes closed, occasionally running away when he couldn't hold it in any more, his blasts were visible for a mile on a clear day. This news caught the attention of Charles Xavier who travelled to Alaska to meet with the boy. Professor Xavier offered Scott an opportunity to go to the Xavier institute of higher learning and Scott grasped the opportunity, leaving his brother behind he went to the school and begun a new life among people like him. Xavier developed ruby quartz glasses so that Cyclops could see. As the young mutant went through his education he grew as a person and begun to open up among his peers. He progressed quickly, excelling in the physical and leadership parts of the education. Now after two years at the academy Scott is a proud and active member of the academy. He has proved himself a trusted student and recently Professor Xavier has offered him the opportunity to pass on what he knows to less experienced students by training the New Mutants.
History Add On:
In the previous five years Scott has grown from a socially awkward teenager in to a more confident and grown up individual. His role as an X-man and one of the leaders of the New Mutants has put him in the forefront in the war against Apocalypse and has taken it upon himself to help new and younger students in this new more frightening world. He's also spent the last few years passing his exams so he can one day live his dream of teaching at the Xavier school for gifted youngsters.
RP Sample: Scott stood in the blank room by himself. He'd performed scenarios like this a hundred times before but every time he was a little bit nervous. He wore his combat gear, a set of tight combat clothing that whilst apparently offering him protection also made him feel ridiculous as the dark blue and yellow suit wasn't exactly discreet. On his head was his trusty visor with a dial on one side that allowed him to control the power of his blasts and a trigger button on the other that allowed his blasts to fire out at whatever strength he wanted. This little device gave him a little control over his powers that he lacked. As the basic training program started black disks like those from a clay pigeon range fired all over the room and started to fly like small flying saucers...moving targets, okay...he could deal with this. He placed a hand to his temple and begun to fire, making sure to get just ahead of the projectiles. He got several and the robotic voice said in a monotone 'round complete...difficulty increasing...' suddenly the projectiles begun flying towards the mutant. As they came he fired at the closest ones and they exploded in a dust. One got past but he managed to dodge it and grab it as it went past, hurling the object back towards the final one that was coming towards him, both smashed and the robotic voice once again said 'round complete...difficulty increasing...' great...well time to get to it.

Player: Darren or Cyclops
Any plans in mind for the character? Nothing exact planned but I plan on slowly making Scott come out of himself completely and be more like the 616 Cyclops
