* Telepathic Illusion: ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
* Mind Link: ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
* Telepathic Camouflage: ability to mask herself, and other peoples' presence from those around her. Can telepathically disguise herself, making her appearance to those around her quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).
* Mind Control: ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration.
* Mind Possession: ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as her own.

* Psionic Shield: ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and of others minds.
* Psionic Spears: can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.
* Astral Projection: ability to Astral Travel and communicate with others astrally through her own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others.
* Induce Pain: can also induce mental pain merely by touching the brow of her victim.
* Heal Trauma: the ability to erase a person’s memories and to heal mental trauma through “psychic surgery,” the power to stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in a persons brain, to subtly brainwash susceptible minds and persuade them to do her bidding.
* Cloak Mind: ability to rearrange the “mental engrams” of mutants so their distinctive mutant though patterns cannot be detected by Cerebro-type devises or by other telepaths.
* Mental Sedating: Emma can telepathically "sedate" her victims so that, if already rendered unconscious, they remain so for as long as she continues to "sedate" them.
* Dilate Power: ability to place “psychic inhibitors” in the minds of mutant adversaries to prevent them from using their powers.
Organic Diamond Form: Turning into a flexible, translucent diamond-like substance while retaining mobility is her second mutation. In this form, her skin is as hard as real diamond. While in this form, she becomes cold-hearted and loses empathy for those around her. In this state, food and water are not needed for a undetermined amount of time.
* Telepathic Immunity: Enclosed in diamond skin, Emma cannot use her telepathic ability nor be attacked mentally by another telepath.
* Superhuman Durability: Skin, bone and muscle augmented to make it stronger and harder than human; impervious to injury to an extraordinary extent. However, like every diamond Emma has a flaw that can be exploited.
* Superhuman Stamina: ability to sustain peak exertion for up to a day.
* Superhuman Strength
Manifestations:
Emma looks perfectly like a human, so it's pretty hard to tell that she's a mutant. But, her second mutation allows her to turn into diamond. She has full control over her changing into her crystalline form and back.
Class:
4
The Character
Personality:
Everyone loves a bad girl and there are none badder than Emma Frost. Often dressed in tight, white leather, the White Queen is a hedonist who loves to screw with minds as much as she loves to, well, screw. She is the school boy dream come true and every good boy's secret desire.
Control is the most important thing for Emma. She's in control of herself every waking moment of her life. She wants perfect control over her job, perfect control over her looks, perfect control over her life, and especially perfect control over her power. She has a paranoid fear that if she let any bit of control slip, even for a moment, her entire world that she's focused so much effort into building would crumble down around her.
While there is a cold-hearted and condescending side to her, there's also another more charming side. Emma can be absolutely dazzling, and not just in a physical sense. When she chooses to be, she is refined and elegant and exceptionally articulate. She can make people go crashing at her feet, though she really only uses this when she needs to. She finds most people too easily manipulated and boorish. The only men (or women) you will ever find her attracted to are those she would consider as equals - and those people are few and far between. She respects power and cunning. While she cannot tolerate another person having control or power over her, there's another part of her that finds this kind of person unbelievably attractive to her. A person she cannot control is a challenge, and Emma's never backed down from a challenge.
She has no problems using her telepathy against people. She can be classified as unethical in this regard, though she would not use that term in reference to herself. Telepathy to her is as much a tool and skill as good speech, etiquette, or intelligence. She thinks it is foolhardy to waste this particular power. If you told her she shouldn't use it against another person, she would ask you "Why not? I have it. I may as well use it."
It is important to note that Emma is not incapable of compassion, love, or passion, but she chooses to ignore this "baser" side of herself. She's never really experienced love, and the entire notion of devoting herself to another person seems absurd and vaguely terrifying. When someone tries to get close to her, she shoves them away, utterly terrified that if she lets them get too close, they could hurt her.
[x]Likes[x]
Emma enjoys sex and her sexuality, and doesn't see intercourse as a particularly intimate act. It is simply something for her own personal enjoyment, or to advance herself in some way (though it's usually for the former). It is important to note though, that she has to show sexual interest first. You never touch her first. If you come on too strongly and she hasn't given you any signs that you should, you're in deep trouble.
Emma loves being rich and powerful. She enjoys her powers and the lifestyle they've afforded her. She gets a secret thrill out of using her powers on people, even in the silliest of ways. She has a passion for good champagne and cosmopolitans, and can be a bit of a lush (though not alcoholic or often drunk). She loves revealing clothing, and likes the fact that it gets her a lot of attention. It's part of her "I have it, might as well use it" personality. She's very aware of her sexual powers over men (though she rarely gets romantically involved). Again, sexuality is a tool.
[x]Dislikes[x]
She holds contempt for people who she perceives as weak. The classic example is her sister Cordelia. There is some fondness for Cordelia, simply because Cordelia is probably the most tolerable of all the people in her family. Emma feels that her sister may have become someone that she could relate to if her sister weren't, in her words, "a whiny, spoiled, apathetic brat." On the other end of the spectrum, she cannot stand people who are more successful than her. Her older sister Adrienne is, by far, more successful than Emma, a fact that she loathes.
Emma believes in a continual strive towards perfection. If she were a teacher, she'd be the teacher from Hell. She would push you as far as she could... and then push you some more. If you failed, she'd make you see exactly why you failed, and then she'd make you do it ten times over until the word failure wasn't in your vocabulary. Any resistance would be weakness, and Emma would never tolerate that.
Physical Description:
Emma has stunning, sexy looks...including her body. Emma is taller than most woman, her height at 5'10'. Her weight is healthy for her age and height. Her weight being 144 pounds/65 kilograms. Emma's skin gives a healthy glow, due to doing yoga and other various exercises. She has beautiful, long, soft blond hair. Her natural hair color is brown, but she dies her hair blond because it looks better on her. She likes to keep her hair straight, but usually does something fancy with it or curls her hair. Her eyes are a wonderful blue color, which matches with her ash blond hair.
History:
Emma Grace Frost, now known as The White Queen, was born into an old Boston mercantile family that arrived from England in the 1600s. She was the second out of three daughters; her older sister was Adrienne and her younger sister was Cordelia. Emma also had one brother named Christian who had turned to substance abuse as escape from the drudgery of his life. The three Frost sisters would all become telepaths, their telepathic powers would mature upon reaching puberty. That was an unknown fact to them and their families at that time.
Soon, it was time for their father to choose a heir for family fortune, her brother Christian was quickly dismissed due to his constant drug use. Her older sister Adrienne seemed like an obvious choice, but her father decided on Emma to be the heir to the family fortune. But, Emma refused to be the heir due to wanting to make her own way through life.
The White Queen inherited a good amount of wealth, but most of her overall wealth came from her professional success. She quickly ascended to the upper echelon of the business world thanks to her intelligence, drive, and her personal charm, as well as secret use of her telepath abilities. One day, the female met Dark Beast, and he helped her rise to wealth and power.
Eventually, Emma became majority stockholder of a multibillionare-dollar conglomerate principally involved in electronics and transportation - both the building of aircrafts and ships, and their use for freight and passenger converyance. Despite her being young, she was given the role of being chairwoman of the board and cheif executive of the rechristened Frost International. She also became headmistress and chairwoman of of the board of trustees of the Massachusetts Academy. The Massachusetts Academy is a college prepatory in grades seven to twelve located in the Berkshire Mountains in Snow Valley, Massachusetts.
Her recent success caught the attention of the Hellfire club, an elite social organization consisting of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. When she learned that the club was hiring dancers, she auditioned and used her telepathic powers to give her performance a boost in their eyes. Unlike the other dancers in the club, Emma was comfortable with the strict dress code that required the female members to wear lingerie at all times. She believed that her extremely revealing wardrobe gave her advantage over men, and considered it a weapon.
Frost quickly became an ally of Sebastian Shaw, a male member of the club's Council of Chosen who were secretly conspiring to achieve world domination through economical and political means. At that time, the club leaders were named after chess pieces. The White King at that time was Edward Buckman and the White Queen was Paris Seville.
Buckman threw the council's support behind Project: Armageddon, scientist Steven Lang's program to construct mutant-hunting Sentinel robots. Aware of Shaw's genetic disposition, Buckman told him the initiative's intent was to capture mutants as a means of helping the council attain power. Using her telepathic powers, Emma soon learned that the project's actual purpose was the annihilation of all genetic deviants. After Sebastian's lover was murdered by one of the sentinels, Frost and Shaw staged a coup that would seize them control over the Council of the Chosen, which they renamed the Inner Circle. Frost took the title of White Queen, and Shaw took the title of Black King.
Under the control of Shaw and Frost, the Inner Circle consisted of mutants. To strengthen the club, Emma recruited new genetically gifted youngsters and thought them to hone their skills at her school. A lot of these students were members of the Hellions, Frost's first mutant squad. Eventually, she encountered the heroic team of X-Men, when she unsuccessfully tried to recruit the young Kitty Pryde. Later, the X-Men joined the Hellions to protect the White Queen from the time-traveling mutant/terrorist named Trevor Fitzroy. Unfortunately, the madman's brutal assault put Emma into a deep coma and brought the Hellions' to their quick demise.
Whilst Emma's consciousness still active on the material plane, her body was kept in the infirmary at the X-Mansion. Seeking to insure her students' welfare and the school's future, Emma had willed responsibility for the Massachusetts Academy to Professor Charles Xavier, the X-Men's telepathic founder. During her psychic incapation, her students were added to Xaiver's rapidly expanding school for mutants. While Emma’s corporeal form was in stasis, a short-circuit in the mansion inadvertently caused her psyche to possess the X-Man named Iceman, whilst his mind was transferred into her body.
Coerced by Professor X, Emma eventually reclaimed her own form. After making a full recovery, she resumed her role as headmistress of the academy. Soon, Sean Cassidy, the mutant known as Banshee, assisted her, she set out to train a new team of young gifted mutants. The new team called themselves Generation X. After the sinking stock market dealt her company, Frost International, a major blow she seeked financial help from her older sister and heir to the Frost fortune. Adrienne agreed to help her sister, Emma, but only if Adrienne was given the role of co-headmistress at Emma's school. But Adrienne's power play did not wind down when Emma acceded to her request, nor did it end when she supplanted her sister as the Hellfire Club's White Queen. Only after Adrienne telepathically incited a riot at the school did Emma find a way to upset her ascension: the way of the gun. Emma shot and killed her sister, thereby laying claim to Adrienne's inheritance.
Following the dissolution of Generation X and the closure of the Massachusetts Academy, Emma moved to the island nation of Genosha where she began teaching mutant children again. Soon after, a sentinel attack wiped out most of Gensosha's mutant population. Emma was found by the X-Men in the rubble, still alive. Emma looked different, it looked like she was pure diamond, including her hair. She had developed a secondary mutation, a mutation that allowed her to survive the major attack. Following the incident, Emma took on the responsibly of mentoring the telepathic quintuplets known as the Stepford Cuckoos. The Stepford Cuckoos are rumored to be her clones because of their similar appearance.
During the riot at Xavier's school, Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos died. The remaining three triplets soon blamed Emma for their fourth sister dieing, and told Jean Grey of Emma's affair with Scott Summers. When Emma confronted Jean, she was forced to reveal the moments of her past. After the confrontation, Emma was shot with a diamond bullet which shattered her diamond form. She was believed to be dead at first, The White Queen's consciousness was trapped in her remains. Soon, Phoenix discovered this and telekinetically fused Emma's body back together. Upon being reassembled, Emma identified Esme of the Cuckoos as the culprit behind her assassination. However, Esme was working with the mutant Xorn, which at that time believed he was the powerful Magneto. Xorn was the one that shot Emma with the diamond bullet whilst she was in her diamond form, which caused her to shatter.
Sample:
Sunlight was shining through a window, hitting the deep red carpet in Emma's office. She sat on her black leather chair, her expensive but beautiful desk in front of her. She tapped her pen on it, while she browsed through some papers. She often looked at the titles, and if it caught her attention she would at least take some time to read it. All these different offers, job applications, business letters were so boring. The first thought that came into her mind was to hire someone to do this. She browsed for another ten minutes, well that's what it seemed like, and finally something caught her attention. It had 'Hellfire Club' written on the envelope in red letters. She had heard of that club, it was for the most successful, richest, and most powerful people in the world. She quickly opened the letter, and her eyes quickly ran over the paper.

Dear Emma Frost,
Well, don't you think before I get to the main point of the letter I should give a proper introduction of who we are? I'm sure you already know about us, you have quite a clever young mind. You already have your own business at the age of 18, quite impressive. Well, before I start talking about you more, I would like to say that we are an organization of wealthy, successful, and powerful figures.
I wrote this letter to ask you to be a member of our organization. Also, we would like to offer you a position as a dancer because of you're stunning looks. It would be a shame if you didn't join us, we were really looking forward to having such a successful figure in our group. We offer a lot to our members, but I'm sure you already know and I don't want to make you bored of my letter, so I am not going to list those activities. If you really don't know, we invite you to our meeting taking place on Thursday, February 24, 2000.
Well, I thank you for taking your precious time to read my letter. We hope you attend our meeting and reply to this letter, and you'll officially become a member. Well, Emma, it's time for you to make your decision.
Sincerely,
Black King
She pushed aside the letter, she already made her mind up. She wanted to become a dancer, and show herself off to the men of the club. She would become even more powerful than she currently was if she impressed the men in that club, and joining it would be such a career booster. She opened her drawer, and pulled out a blank piece of paper. She wrote down the date, and she was about to start writing the letter for the Hellfire club but an unexpected knock at the door interrupted her. She just closed her eyes, and she got a mental image of who it was because of her telepathic powers. It was her secretary, Amanda.
"It's open, dear" she said, calmly. She already knew the reason Amanda interrupted her, Emma loved having telepathic powers. "Well, come in!"
Amanda quickly came in, listening to her boss. She was holding a couple of sheets, and took a huge breath of air. Amanda tended to get nervous whenever she talked to her boss. She was scared of Emma because Amanda always feared that she was going to do something stupid and Emma was going to fire her. "Mister Johnson is here to see you-" she said quickly, but Emma cut her off.
"-and you were wondering if I would like to see him" she finished her sentence, and nodded her head. "Yes, send him in if you must" she sighed. She looked at her desk, to find that there were papers everywhere! She quickly put them into neat piles, and it looked much better than it did before. Mister Johnson walked in, and her secretary closed the door to give them some privacy.
"Darling, how may I help you?" she asked, tilting her head and giving the older man a seductive smile. She was going to make him pay more than the real price was, by his own free will or with a few mind tricks.[/center][/size]
