Illyana Rasputin

Illyana Rasputin, also known as Magik, is a mutant with the ability to open portals to travel between another dimension called Limbo and who has learned sorcery. She is also the younger sister of Piotr Rasputin. Illyana was born in Russia. As a child, she was taken as a slave and tormented by gangsters, whom she internalized as otherworldly beings she called the Smiley Men. To escape all this suffering, Illyana created an imaginary dimension in her subconscious that she named Limbo. In Limbo, Lockheed was turned into a real dragon and Illyana gained new magical abilities. However, due to spending too much time in Limbo, that place became totally real. At some point in her life, Illyana murdered with her sword and Lockheed the men who used her as a slave, killing 18 of them one by one. Because of this act, she ended up in the Milbury Hospital, where she met Rahne Sinclair, Sam Guthrie, and Roberto da Costa. Rahne is quieter, more religious, and kinder. Sam is more sad, quiet, and reckless. Roberto is a flirt, and thinks he is cool because he's rich.Due to her tortured past, as a slave, Illyana developed a strong personality with no remorse for the things she does. This was shown when she did not hold back from saying all the people she had killed in her life and even feeling proud of it. She also showed an unhealthy attitude towards any newbies when they arrived at Milbury Hospital, even going so far as to make inappropriate comments against them and mocking them. Despite her strong personality, Illyana still had many internal fears that she had not yet managed to overcome, especially the Smiley Men, who even after so many years frightened her like no one else. It takes a lot to break down her walls, but when you do, she can be very clingy and very soft and sentimental. Illyana is a very powerful mutant who possesses powers of inter-dimensional teleportation. Illyana has the mutant ability to mentally open portals, which allowed herself and others to teleport across larges distances. However, when Illyana mentally calls for a portal, she must use Limbo as a midway point before she can teleport to an alternate location. It is not known if she was genetically predetermined to travel through Limbo, or if she did so because, having been there as a child, it was the alternate dimension she was instinctively aware of. In the hellish dimension she had created from her subconscious, Illyana became a powerful sorceress capable of manipulating mystical energy for a variety of effects, such as spell casting, summoning a weapon called the Soulsword and an armor who covering her right arm. Her mystic power manifests as blue energy. By drawing power from Limbo, Illyana gains considerably greater power and also physical abilities, like enhanced strength, durability and agility. When she uses this ability, Illyana's eyes are flooded with bright blue energy. During her multiple visits to Limbo, Illyana obtained a magic sword from the mystical metal found on the floor of Limbo. She is able to hide this sword in Limbo and summon it whenever she wishes.Every time Illyana summons her magic sword, a eldritch armor covers her right arm.Illyana is fluent in her native Russian, as well as English. Ever since she was a little kid, she had a purple dragon hand puppet named lockheed. She has the ability to make lockheed a small real dragon while she is in limbo, or strongly channeling her magic, but he usually remains a puppet. She treats him like he's real, making him do what she does, eating dry stuff, tucking him in, all of it. She is so emotionally attached and relient on him because her puppet was the only thing she had when the smiling men had her. Illyana will even make him talk sometimes, giving him his own voice. She likes to do kid like things sometimes, like coloring or dressing up in Dr Reyes lab coats to make fun of her. She is now 18.
