I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight...

Being Unable to help anyone
Mutant Power (if applicable):[/size] Electrical Absorption: absorbs electricity at all times: from static in the air, electrical appliances, outlets, etc (often causing lights to flicker, etc). She can't control the absorption, and thus must wear specifically-designed gauntlets at all times to regulate it.
Lightning Blasts: She can discharge the energy through lightning blasts from her hands or body
Superhuman Speed: ability to channel the energy into bursts of super-speed
Abilities
Surge is a native Japanese speaker who speaks English fluently, with little trace of an accent.
Strength level
Possesses the strength of a normal girl her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise
Power Limits:[/size]If Noriko doesn't discharge the electricity that builds in her body causes her mind to race.
Personality:[/size][/font] Very forthright and strong-minded, Nori has often clashed with her peers and superiors, from nearly getting into a brawl with Hellion after he insulted Prodigy's baseline status post-M-Day, and challenging Cyclops' assertion that the students are safe at the Institute. Nori also considers herself a feminist, attacking Dust's choice of garb as a betrayal of women's rights when the two are roomed together. Regardless, Nori is a loyal figure, dedicated to her friends, and increasingly feeling the responsibilities placed upon her as leader of the New X-Men. Surge was particularly incensed with Hellion's decision to rescue Mercury from the Faculty without backup, and has taken it upon herself to mold the team into an effective unit capable of defending the rest of the students. She's seen as having trouble welcoming X-23 back to the team after the latter's involvement in X-Force, possibly due to how the latter seemingly doesn't have to take responsibility for what she did as part of that team, in comparison to her own mounting responsibilities.
can't you see we are the same?
Eyes:[/size] Brown
Hair:[/size] black , dyes it Blue
Physique:[/size]She is average height, with a slim and slender body, muscular as well. Though she still is a bit underweight even with the gauntlets on, from taking the drugs she did before to keep her powers in wraps. Nori dyes her black hair blue, she seems to think the Blue fits her better than her Pure black her. Nori has long legs and arms that she tends to keep hidden in jeans of sweaters to hide the gauntlets she has on her arms, that forge had made her.

this war we're fighting is undecided...
History: [/font]Noriko Ashida (芦田 則子 Ashida Noriko) was born in Tokyo, Japan, where her family still lives. She was close to her brother, Keitaro (芦田 景太郎 Ashida Keitarō), but she ran away from home when she was thirteen-years-old, after her powers manifested; she claimed that her father "doesn't believe in mutants." How she came to the United States is unknown, but she was living homeless on the streets of New York when, four years later, she went up to the Xavier Institute gates - only to be turned away by student Hellion for being homeless.
Elixir gathered the rest of the group to try and find Nori that night, and they reluctantly went to try and keep her out of trouble. They eventually found her buying drugs, and assuming that was what was causing her to go out of control, Sofia blew the capsules away. In reality, it was the other way around, and without the pills, Surge completely lost control of her powers. Between Wallflower's's powers, and the fact that she was mostly discharged by that point, they managed to subdue her and take her back to the X-Mansion. There, Beast designed gauntlets that could regulate her absorption of ambient electricity, and that she could discharge through/into as required to prevent further mental overloads - to her less-than-complete gratitude.
Noriko became a student of the Xavier Institute and, when the school adopted a squad system, was assigned to the New Mutants squad led by Dani Moonstar. She reluctantly was required to share a room with Dust; the two young women disagreed upon the accepted role of women and tension arose from their disagreement.
Soon afterwards, the romantic relationship between teammate Josh Foley and teacher Rahne Sinclair was revealed. Returning Rahne's lost power with his own, Josh was severely injured by the feral Sinclair. Noriko proved herself innovative when she suggested she use her powers on teammate Josh Foley in order to shock his body into healing himself. Her plan successful, Josh awoke. Surprised by the taboo relationship, the New Mutants squad - except Noriko herself - ostracized Josh. Eventually the conflict was dissolved.
The events of House of M left over 90% of the world's mutant population depowered and Noriko with yet another glimpse of what a relationship between she and Prodigy would be. With only 27 students with their powers, Emma Frost, fearing their safety, ordered the depowered students and staff including Noriko's adviser Danielle Moonstar to leave the Institute. Iceman, while talking to Noriko's father on the phone, confirmed that she was one of the "lucky ones" who retained their powers. As it departed, one bus of depowered students was bombed by anti-mutant zealot Reverend William Stryker, killing all on board. Though depowered, David was not killed, and he and Nori furthered their romantic relationship.
Most of the remaining students were organized by Emma Frost into a melee fight to determine who would become a member of Frost's X-Men-in-training. Much to her surprise, Surge was chosen by Frost to be the team's leader. Soon afterwards, Nori received new, lighter, and more effective gauntlets from Forge.
The remaining students at the Institute became the targets of Stryker's crusade against mutants. After killing two more students, capturing others, luring one to his side, and finally attacking the Institute, Surge was able to lead her team against the attackers. Josh, enraged by Stryker's murder of Laurie, killed Stryker, ending his plot.
Upon discovering that the advanced Sentinel Nimrod was alive, and threatening Forge, Surge, as team leader, made the decision for the New X-Men to confront Nimrod themselves. In the end, she removed her gauntlets and poured all her power into Nimrod causing him to jaunt backwards in time. Noriko then went to the hospital wing to talk to Elixir and David. She asked if he could still kill, and he said yes. Elixir said that he wanted to learn how to control the new increase to his abilities. Nori went to the memorial service to remember all the students lost in Stryker's attack.
Noriko and David, unaware of the events that involved Emma threatening Laura, Mercury taking X-23 out on the town and being captured by Kimura, and Laura returning and taking Julian with her to go after Cessily, were busy at the mansion trying to recruit some of their fellow classmates to their squad. They had asked Bling who had blatantly refused because of the things that had been happening to anyone wishing to be a member of the X-Men period. Onyxx blurted out something about Laura coming in all bloody without Cessily and panicking; Surge and Prodigy rushed to Dust who told them what had happened to Cessily.
Soon, Surge took Rockslide and Dust with her outside of the Institute on the way looking for their teammates. Lexington refused to let them pass and Surge began to command Rockslide and Dust to attack; Shadowcat arrived and took them inside where they strategized. Before long, Surge, Rockslide, Dust, Elixir, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Colossus, and Shadowcat crashed into the Facility saving Laura, Julian, and Cessily.
Nori took Julian outside to talk and ended up slapping some sense into him and yelling at him for sneaking off behind her back to go with Laura to go rescue Cessily.
Surge still dealt with anger issues and her inner conflict over Prodigy. Shortly thereafter, Surge passionately kissed Hellion in front of the other students as a means of driving David away from her and out of harm's way, in hopes of sparing them the pain of losing each other. This ploy, however, backfired as David regained his memories of abilities he once had and copied up until he lost his power. In the aftermath, David decided to stay at the Institute and also ended their relationship.
She had returned to the Institute after only a few months, to try and see David, knowing there were not many students left, or many with powers at the very least after M-day, she is apart of the New X men.
