{jeon jong-seo, thirty-two, cis female, she/her} || BAEK SORA / PRIDE is a mutant with the ability of CHAOS EMBODIMENT. they’ve been in new york for THIRTEEN YEARS where they spend most of their time as A COMBAT INSTRUCTOR / GOVERNMENT AGENT. when i think of them, i think of A ROPE FRAYED TO ITS LAST THREAD, THE AFTERMATH OF A SUPERNOVA, AND THE SHIFTING COILS OF A SERPENT . they are affiliated with THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS. @c23intros
background.
the exact circumstances of her birth are complicated. the retelling given to sora throughout her childhood is that she had been unwanted, tossed away by parents that were unaware ( unworthy ) of the blessing in their midst. in truth, unbeknownst to her, she had been a wanted child, born to vulnerable people. the unfortunate pair had been coerced to give up their daughter ( sickly and premature ) for a lump sum. she would receive the care she needed, the figure had claimed, and they would receive resources that had been unavailable to them thus far in the states. sora would never know.
now an orphan, she could be snagged in the claws of a hungry ( desperate ) government and ushered away into their own private facilities. from there, her life became a whirlwind of training, of being treated less like a growing child and more like a tool of the state. where others in her age bracket would be kicking soccer balls or playing pretend, she wielded weapons of war and learned to kill those that opposed her superiors. she excelled. she had no other choice.
along with the approved government housing came specially chosen boarding schools. these are where she spent the majority of her adolescence, bolstering her knowledge not only for combat or espionage, but in all other subjects that could conceivably be used by their special agents. there, although sora didn’t realize it at the time, she met the people that would eventually join her in becoming a part of the seven deadly sins project.
most would die. weaker, unworthy subjects that couldn’t handle the magnitude of the experiments. while not first ( to her chagrin ) success in the group, she proved her worth by coming in second. where other agents were unable to handle the foreign dna invading their bodies, she adapted without parallel—and developed a mutation stronger than any bomb, any missile, any weapon of mass destruction that they could hope to build.
as pride—the future leader of the sins, in her eyes—one of her first, and largest, missions was to infiltrate the xavier institute, to disguise herself as one of his loyal heroes, but to inwardly plot for their eventual demise. to steal the secrets, not only of the mutant problem contained within, but of the technological advancements they had created as well. all that charles xavier commanded would belong to her.
quick facts.
has been at xavier’s for thirteen years, starting as a young adult student and gradually rising in the ranks to a respected combat instructor!
chaos being as unstable as it is, she has a difficult time with her own sense of self and changes her appearance often. literally, a new hair new me kind of girl.
claims that her dream job, post-institute, is to be an astronomer or an astronaut! it is not.
bi... ;)
practices calligraphy as a hobby and grounding technique, and is actually pretty good at it. that doesn’t mean she’ll show it to anyone, though...
possible connections.
xavier-affiliated people: she’s been there for over a decade and has been proven to be extremely trustworthy and invested in their cause. it would be great to see some people she works with or helps train!
hook ups/fwb: everyone needs to let loose sometimes, right? since sora is very hot-and-cold, this would likely be an on and off again arrangement. could be with feelings, could be without! any affiliation is fine.
anything else: the world is our oyster.. .<3
