Power(s)
Telepathy is the ability to psychically communicate information from one mind to another. This can range from the traditional reading of minds to implanting thoughts into others’ minds. This could also allow the user to project telepathic illusions (illusory invisibility, illusory copies, and the like), or send thought-wave "static" into the minds of those who try to invade his mind. This ability can even be used to tap into the recesses of the mind to bring forth formerly-repressed memories or forgotten information, or the like.
Telekinesis, also called
Psychokinesis,
Telergy or
Psychergy is the ability for a person to psychically influence tangible matter with the intangible mind. One with this ability could mentally lift subjects that are usually far too heavy to lift with the user actual arms. One with this ability could toss, grab, lift, levitate and otherwise interface with physically tangible subjects even to the point of manipulation from a great distance and manipulation of concealed subjects that the user can't even see. There are three forms of this power:
a)
Ballistic Telekinesis
Ballistic Telekinesis, colloquially known as
Havoc is the more untamed version of Telekinesis. This ability causes any nearby objects to be moved around the user at high speeds, explode or to be propelled away from the user at high speeds without conscious effort from the user of the power (the ability is activated by the user feeling that he or she is in danger, or being under extreme emotional stress). One with this ability could move objects that weigh far more than he or she does.
b)
Vector Telekinesis
Vector Telekinesis, like normal Telekinesis, is the ability for a person to psychically influence tangible matter with the intangible mind. However, instead of simply using psychic force to move and manipulate objects, one with this ability manifests it as a set of invisible appendages of telekinetic energy. These are capable of lifting objects with more strength and maneuvering with much more dexterity than normal Telekinesis, allowing one to do many tasks at once as though one had multiple hands. These tasks can be as tough as lifting a truck to as fine as typing on the computer or juggling.
c)
Tactile Telekinesis
Tactile Telekinesis is the ability to channel the psychic energy that allows telekinesis through the hands, so as to appear as though one had superhuman strength. One with this ability has nearly all the same faculties as super strength (hitting with phenomenal force, have an amazing grip, and easily manipulate tough materials). One with this ability, however, could only lift or manipulate objects based on the level of his telekinesis, which would have to develop over time.
Flight is the ability to defy gravity in order to propel oneself through the air. One with this ability can accomplish it in one of multiple ways. Either their body projects an electromagnetic aura around them, which repulses the user from the ground and allows propulsion from one point to another. Others include the use of magnetic, gravitational or sonic repulsion, riding air waves, riding light waves, projection of an energy aura, the presence of physical wings and the like. This ability may be accompanied by Jet Propulsion or some other aerial faculty.
Note: Faith is unaware of this power at the moment.
Precognition or
Premonition is a form of extra-sensory perception in which one will perceive information about future events before they happen, by visual means, as opposed to merely guessing them, based on deductive reasoning and current knowledge. It can come as a brief flash of the scene or last for a long time. Sometimes, however, it can even be activated at will and within whichever time intervals the user desires (“the next six hours”, “tomorrow”, etc.), at which point the power becomes
Selective Precognition. Faith experiences three forms of this power:
a)
Dreaming
Faith can dream the past or future whilst sleeping. The dreams are entirely based on the decisions that people make and reveal the outcome. However, the dreams have been known to change loosely based on the decision itself.
b)
Visions
The most common form after
Dreaming. Faith can experience flashes of the past and future spontaneously, although this can be usually activated through touching a person or an object, which reveals key events tied to or the fate that awaits them.
c)
Summoning
The least used form, considering how difficult it is to summon the future at will. Faith has only managed this on two occasions - once accidentally, when desiring to know the outcome of a school test and another, when trying to uncover Magneto's intentions upon the request of Professor Xavier. A high degree of concentration is usually required and can physically harm Faith if she tries too hard.

Personality
Faith is described by several people as responsible, cheerful, confident, outgoing, polite, determined, trustworthy, overprotective and emotionally driven to do what she feels is right. She always puts everyone's safety before her own. Also defined as an emotional roller coasting time bomb, she is sociable and well adapted to her environment. However, as people begin to know her, they will discover a caring side beginning to emerge that she previously fails to show at first sight. Faith can show signs of anger and aggression towards others, especially when it's about fighting for a cause she believes in, even when it's just her. Professor Xavier has uncovered potentially damaging effects to her growing telepathic abilities - a hidden dark side, which is everything opposed to what Faith is: selfish, full of anger, sick, twisted and refusing to hold back from the true potential of her powers. However, this side has never emerged before and has only been seen through the visions of the Professor.

Appearance
Bio
Faith Crest was born 19 July, 1994. Believing her mother died during childbirth, she was handed over to her godmother, Patricia Musso. She took her home to her husband, Robert, and the two acted like adoptive parents to preserve her mother's dying wish. They lived in Marwick for many years, although Faith's uncontrollable powers continued to manifest at an early age of seven. Patricia - who knew Professor Xavier through their shared knowledge of the existence of mutants - contacted and pleaded with her old friend to help their goddaughter. He placed psychic barriers around her mind, although he was fearful of a dark side as a result of her telepathic abilities since he had a vision that this would happen in the next ten years in the future. Faith lived a very happy childhood thereafter. She would go on to become the captain of the netball team at Marwick High School, although this would be short-lived by the continued manifestation of her powers.
Shortly after turning the age of fourteen, Faith's powers were uncontrollable again. This resulted in her running away from home in an effort to stay away from people, whose thoughts she didn't want to hear. With Professor Xavier, Patricia found Faith two days later. They explained that she was special, a mutant with powers, a human being already on the way to the next step of evolution. The Professor offered her a place at his school and she reluctantly agreed, hoping that she'd be able to discover more about her birth parents and why she had these mutant powers. But as soon as she joined him and the rest of the other mutants at the X-Mansion, trouble was brewing already.
Magneto, still intent on world domination, attempted to sway Faith into giving into her desires and told her to join his side, so that they could take revenge on the world that didn't know they existed. Faith considered his offer for a while, eventually thinking that the Professor manipulated her into joining him at the Institute. She was emotionally confused for several weeks, even turning her back on and refusing to speak to the others in the Mansion. One day, Magneto used the Brotherhood to corner Faith and capture her at will. However, that was when the X-Men rescued her. Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Wolverine brought her back to safety at the Mansion and finally managed to convince Faith that Magneto was the evil one pulling the strings, with her as the puppet. Faith was ashamed of herself, but eventually came to trust the Professor and the X-Men once again.
Now she keeps having dreams that the next generation of mutants will decide the fate of the world and the secret of mutants will be exposed to the world. She fears that this will have to backfire eventually. In the meantime, Faith continues to have regular sessions with Professor Xavier to maintain some form of control over her telepathic powers, but begins to have doubts about her own motives when her precognitive powers reveal a terrifying side to her ...
