Rebecca Essex (wife, deceased), Adam Essex (son, deceased), One other unnamed son (deceased), Mary Essex (mother, deceased)General Appearance:
Being a shapeshifter, Sinister's form varies from time to time. As a human, he was an average looking, middle aged Caucasian man from England. After his transformation, he took on the "standard" form he has currently. In this form Sinister is 6' 2", and to the average person would seem to keep himself in great shape. His skin is quite pale to the extent that is actually white in colour. He has short, jet black hair, and his eyes are a deep red with no visible pupils or details at all. There is a small, red diamond in the centre of his forehead, a mark left by Apocalypse, almost a signature in a way. Sinister is not bound by one type of fashion, though most if not all the clothes he wears are either dark purple or navy blue in colour.Personality:
Sinister is cruel, arrogant, and devious. He has no qualms about using others to further his goal, even to the extent that he once worked with the Nazis. He is a master manipulator, and enjoys making people do his bidding.Abilities:
One thing that must be remembered about Sinister, though, is that he does nothing needlessly. If he is cruel, manipulative, or just downright fucked up insane, it is all with a purpose in mind. He does nothing for the sake of it.
Sinister, due to his transformation at the hand of Apocalypse and years of genetic experimentation, has a vast array of abilities that can make him a threat to entire groups of enemies.History:
The primary one is his complete control of every molecule in his body. This allow Sinister to shapeshift in to an almost flawless likeness of anyone he chooses. He is also able to quickly heal wounds that would kill most people. His molecular control also grants him enhanced reflexes, stamina, and superhuman strength to the extent that he can lift the combined weight of around ten small cars.
Sinister is also a high level telepath, able to read minds, control them, subject his enemies to mental and physical paralysis, and even "disable" a mutant's powers for a short period of time.
Sinister has limited telekinesis, allowing him to levitate, fly short distances, and even lift some objects.
He also has the ability to fire concussive blasts of energy from the palms of his hands or the diamond on his forehead. The blasts themselves have not been measured, but they are capable of incapacitating a human being with one shot.
Sinister was born in the seventeenth century in England. Not much is known about his early life, but what is known is that he was a biologist, and a rather talented one at that.Other:
He vigorously studied what he believed to be the next stage in human evolution: Mutation on a genetic level unlike anything seen in the species before. Unfortunately, the scientific community mocked and belittled his studies, leaving Sinister bitter and angry.
Essex had a wife and child, but when his son died, Nathaniel buried himself in his work, eager to be proven right even if he had to rebel to do it. He sought funding for his work, but was unsuccessful, and ended up kidnapping people off the streets of London on which he could perform his experiments.
Sinister, frustrated at his attempts to unlock this "Essex factor" of the human genetic structure, found himself allying with a being known as Apocalypse, a mutant of vast power. In return for his loyalty, Apocalypse gave Sinister immortality, and the resources with which to conduct his experiments.
Apocalypse's first order was that Sinister create a plague with which Apocalypse could destroy those that were "weak". Sinister betrayed him, creating a virus that instead attacked Apocalypse, forcing the god-like mutant to retreat in to hibernation, where he would stay for many years.
Free from the shackles of his master, Sinister travelled the world, performing experiments on people and using his genetic knowledge to actually give himself the same mutant powers as some of his subjects. That was how he came to have such a vast array of abilities: He copied them for himself.
Over the years Sinister became bolder, even working with the Nazis during World War 2 (earning the name "Nosferatu" from Jewish prisoners), and the American government, where he studied mutant children. He even showed up in Vietnam during their bloody war with America, earning the name "White Devil" due to his tendency to kidnap soldiers and civilians to use as guinea pigs). During this period Sinister managed to recruit Scalphunter and Sabretooth to his cause, though their involvement was sporadic at best. Several years ago, Sinister even encountered a young mutant in New Orleans, giving the young man a favour. He never went back to collect, but he has all the time in the world.
Over the course of several decades, Sinister ran an orphanage under the guise of "Mister Milbury", where he could watch and study mutant children. One such child was Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops. Sinister became obsessed with the Summers genome, and tried to bend Scott to his will, impersonating several people at the orphanage (even Scott's roommate). He believed, for a time, that the progeny of Cyclops (when combined with certain females) would produce a mutant so powerful that none could stand against it.
Sinister now lies in wait, wondering if that will ever come to pass, and preparing for the return of his master, wondering what kind of punishment might befall him.
Sinister is a geneticist of the highest order, and was considered by many to be a genius before his downfall. He can even successfully clone humans and mutants.Sample RP:
Sinister is also skilled in surgery, psychology (which he uses to manipulate those around him), and he is also a gifted engineer (constructing most of his own equipment).
Sinister's laboratory, deep in the lair that houses the sarcophagus of Apocalypse, was filled to the brim with medical technology, some of which the mad scientist had created himself. None of it was wasted though; everything had a specific, unique function, and Sinister endeavoured to do the best with what he had.
In his white lab coat, Sinister was almost a cross between his former "human" form, and his current one. He was handsome, but he was not pale. He was what he ideally saw himself as being: Just a man... A man with a vision, with a dream.
He was trying to clone Summers and Grey, but for some reason he couldn't get their genetic codes to combine. Was their something about the two of them, something he could not replicate? Perhaps her proximity to his enormous power? Or perhaps it was her womb... Did it have something, something that set it apart? He could only guess...
