IVAN SMIRNOV
User Name: The Past.
Character name: Ivan Smirnov (code name).
Mutant Name: Guardian.
Classification: Teacher/X-Men.
Abilities/powers: Guardian has the ability to turn his skin into a fully impenetrable shield, but the act of doing this gives him the appearance of being covered in cobalt blue scales. This transformation cannot be pierced by any means, and also protects his eyes. Guardian is able to activate this across his entire body at once, or at designated patches.
Due to being immune to physical damage, Guardian is able to put more force than others behind his punches/hits, having no concern of damaging his body. His powers are external only, meaning he cannot bypass his body’s instincts to prevent internal injuries from lifting heavy weights/throwi
ng strong punches, etc. This also means he has no additional immunity to psychic or aerosol attack, etc. (without appropriate equipment to do so).

Additional Appearance: Any scarring is kept to a minimum, or gained before his powers became active.
Personality: In his role as leader, Ivan takes a serious and almost harsh role, having seen too many of his team die or injured over the years, and always demands a level of strict seriousness when in battle or strategising for the coming fight.
As a veteran of the house and advocate for what the mansion once stood for, Ivan holds a soft side for those who have gone through hardship, especially children and teens who have suffered as a result of the war. This stems primarily from his own pain but also a kindness that was passed down from the strong family connection of both his parents and the X-Men. He always tries to put time aside from his duties to lend an ear and hand when needed, to help them develop their abilities and keep up their morale despite everything that is happening.
Special Skills: Leadership, military tactic, survivalism, hand to hand combat, gun warfare and care.
Place of birth: New York, NY.
Weapon(s) of choice: Fists, handgun, knife.
Medical information: Depression during his teens, type 1 diabetes requiring strict food/exercise plan and insulin injections.
Brief History: Born into a world at war, Ivan was brought up as ‘normal’ as possible at Xavier’s-turn-military base by his parents and the X-Men. He lost his parents at a young age, his father to a long battle of disease, while his mother was comatose and has yet to wake. With the X-Men around to support him, Ivan trained and became part of the war effort, entering battle during his teens.
His mutation activated into his late childhood, before he hit his teens, and with practice he became an unstoppable force for the X-Men, unable to be harmed from any direct physical attack. On going training and loss of senior members led him to become a natural leader for their side, helping those than wanted to side with the X-Men and trying to find a quick end to the war. The memory of his father, his mother, and the kids that continue to come to Xavier’s for help pushes Ivan onward to become a better leader.
With the creation of time travel he has instructed teammates to travel back in time and attempt to prevent the war from happening in the first place. Unsure if this is even possible, he hopes that if it cannot help his timeline than it will create an alternative one which keeps the world from falling apart and his family and friends from suffering.
