icecoldfrostSo, some of you may have noticed that Emma had an accident today. And is currently very very shiny, and mildly annoyed/bemused by the whole thing. She will be attending class like this, as she is stuck for the duration due to psychological trauma she suffered during the BDE.
So, what does this mean for Emma and your characters? It means she's got a whole new bag of tricks, although it's going to take her some time to master them.
◊ Secondary Mutation Organic Diamond Form: As a result of undergoing a body-wide secondary mutation, Emma now possesses the ability to transform her body into a flexible organic diamond form. In many ways, this is similar to Colossus' organic steel form. She must transform all parts of her body, rather than selectively transforming certain areas and can remain in this form for an indetermined amount of time. If she is rendered unconscious, her body will automatically transform into its normal state, but it's difficult to knock her out. This transformation also alters Emma's personality, causing her to become rather cold-hearted and to lose her empathy for others.
Or, in other words, she's actually going to (somehow) be more of a bitch than usual. I apologize in advance for anything she says when she's like that, and I promise, I'm probably wincing in horror.
◊ Superhuman Strength: In her diamond form, Frost's physical strength is increased to superhuman levels. At her peak, she is able to lift approximately 2 tons, but she doesn't know that yet. Emma will slowly be testing her limits, but no lifting anything over 200lbs for at least a year.
◊ Superhuman Stamina: While transformed, Frost's muscle tissue becomes infinitely more efficient than the organic musculature of normal humans, or most other organic beings for that matter. Her muscles produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting her almost limitless superhuman stamina, or at least until or unless she is forced to resume her normal state.
◊ Superhuman Durability: Frost's diamond form renders her highly resistant to most forms of physical injury. She is able to resist great impact forces, such as being repeatedly struck with superhuman force, without being injured. Her body is also resistant to temperature extremes, able to withstand temperatures as cold as -320 degrees Farenheit or as hot as approximately 7,362 degrees Farenheit before her form begins to melt. She is also self contained while transformed, requiring no food, water or oxygen.
◊ Telepathy: NONE. ZIP. ZERO. NADA. While in her diamond state, Emma is unable to access her telepathy, and is highly resistant to any type of psionic attack. Unless you're the Phoenix, Cable, or a Jedi Master, you aren't going to be able to get in her head.
Emma will be changing back to her normal, fleshy-self on early Tuesday morning, but after that she's going to be unable to control her shifting. If she's startled or gets extremely upset, her body is going to automatically shift to diamond to protect her. It's her best physical defense and prevents her from dealing with messy messy emotions, so her subconscious is going to be reacting to keep her safe. Don't be surprised if she shows up to class shiny when she's having a bad day.
And if you stare, she may use her mutant power of biting sarcasm.

"I've had quite enough of these painful emotions. I have no telepathic powers in diamond form and no empathy. No compassion. Just a cruel sense of humor and a cold, hard heart." -- New X-Men Annual 2001
