Mutant Power (if applicable):[/size]Bobby at first was only able to lower the temperature of his body and encase it in a layer of ice but now he can turn his whole body in an organic ice form which he is able to manipulate. Also though this ice form he is able to regenerate any damaged or missing limbs that he has gain during battle, if necessary he can reform his whole body with the aid of water vapour which he will freeze. He can also create objects, shields and projectiles out of ice which includes the freezing of liquids into an ice form buy reducing there temperature.
Also with his Ice form he is able to add parts to his body and change his size. He quite often adds sharp icicles to his knuckles and shoulders while fighting. Also when enlarging his ice form his increases his strength as so to match his new size. He is also able to control chemical reactions which have some sort of heat exchange and stop people with fire base abilities from using them by cooling the air. He is also train in unarmed combat, tactics and has been train to have some resistance to mental attacks from being a member of the X-Men.
Power Limits:[/size]Though Bobby can turn into his Iceform to become quite indestructible because of his healing abilities he finds it take more concentration for him to keep in his ice form in elevated temperatures as it takes more strength to keep his body temperature down. Also it takes a great deal of concentration and strength for him to be able to heal his entire body in his ice forms and at times hasn't been able to fully come out of his ice form because of injuries he has taken on, but over time they heal and he is able to return them to normal. He is also not able to hold enlarged Iceforms of himself for more than a few hours as it takes an awful lot of strain on his body depending on the size.
The objects and projectiles that he makes out of ice can be countered by the attack of a mutant with a fire base ability as they could melt the projectile before it reached them. Though shields will be harder as he is constantly cooling the shield while in use creating newer ice for that what is melted but it the fire mutant is too powerful or raises the temperature around Bobby too high he may struggle to keep a constant shield.
Personality:[/size][/font]Bobby still has a little bit of the class clown in him from his school days. He still enjoys a little prank every now and again as he isn't a stern as other teachers at the institute. Though he want tolerate anything that could harm others. Bobby himself can still sometimes be a little immature and do a few childish things but this is because he like to have a little fun and not be too serious with himself. Though when needed to be Bobby can be serious about things and show his more adult grown up side which is shown to some extent when he is teaching in order to be able to control the class.
When it comes to love Bobby has had quite a few relationships. None which really lasted overly too long. Though despite not having a whole lot of luck with love he still hasn't given up on it. He likes to think that love will come to him when it wants to though he doesn't like it when it leaves as it has cause him some pain in the past. Though he tries not to let emotions rule him all the time as he knows there will be times that he can't let them decided for him. Though Bobby is also rather brave and will step in to help others when needed as he knows that in his iceform especially he can be more durable because of his powers than some others. Bobby is also an exceedingly honest person and isn't one to lie to others as he knows that even the smallest of lies can turn around and bit you in the neck.
can't you see we are the same?
Eyes:[/size]His eyes are a warm hazel brown.
Hair:[/size]His hair is rather short and messy looking in style. He very really uses any gel on it and it is a brown in colouring like his eyes.
Physique:[/size] Bobby isn't exactly Mr. Muscle but her does have a slightly muscle body from training with the X-Men. He is quite tall but not tall compared to some of the other men at the institute who make him seem smaller than he actually is. He stands around five foot eight and weight about one hundred and forty five pounds which is about right for his size.

this war we're fighting is undecided...
History: [/font]Robert Louis Drake was born in Long Island, New York to his parents William and Madeline Drake. His life growing up in Long Island was nothing all that special. He tried out for sports teams, he joked around in classes and even had girl friends. Though whilst going though puberty Bobby found out that he was not just your normal guy. At first it started off with him being in a constant state of trembling cold but he soon learn to control it so passed it off as some weird puberty stage. But when he was out on a date the local bully pushed him aside so that he could hit on Bobby's date. At this Bobby was furious and encased him inside a block of ice which cased his date to run off scared to be with a mutant.
Word soon got around and it wasn't safe for Bobby at home anymore as mobs would come around to his home to beat him up. The sheriff stopped it and imprisoned Bobby so he could do no harm or have harm come to him. Cyclops broke into Bobby's cell and offered him a place in this newly formed team of mutants but he refused it and instead began a fight with him. The mobs return attacking both of the and where only stopped by Professor X. He to offered Bobby the position and this time Bobby accepted it. This made Bobby the second member of the newly formed X-Men team. Others did join them later though Bobby was the youngest in the team which meant he was often looked down up which he didn't like at all.
Though Bobby soon developed a tight relationship with Hank McCoy and together they dated Zelda and Vera Cantor. Though the relations didn't last all that long as they had to keep running out on their dates to fight villains. Also in his early days as an X-Man Bobby was only able to have a every snow like appearance for his ice form but with the help of cyclopes he managed to altar the temperature to make the snow into ice. Bobby fought as the Iceman with the X-Men team for a while before he quite. Professor X got him a scholarship in UCLA where Bobby was talking with Angel when harpies attacked the school. He and Angel began to fight them along with some other who where around but Venus and Hercules where captured so the rest of them managed to get to Olympus and save them. After that the Champions of LA where formed.
After fighting for a while with them Bobby began thinking that he should retired from being a super hero and begin to think of his future as he wasn't so comfortable with the life of a superhero. Though then he went and risk his life saving Darkstar. Bobby had feelings for her though they was never returned and after the the return of the sentinels who was being controlled by the Vanisher the team disbanded. So then while he was study at sophomore college he was contact by Professor X to assist some other mutants as the X-Men where busy with Doctor Doom. He agreed to help and thought along side Havok, Polaris and Banshee. Bobby still had feeling for Polaris but had accepted that she was in love with Havok.
It was shortly after that he visit Hank his old friend who was involved with the Defenders and he managed to convince Bobby to join the team and soon after Angel. Bobby once again found his love for one of his team mates, this time with Cloud. Though Bobby couldn't stand Cloud in there male form. Though it was later revealed that Cloud was a space being who took the form of a couple that died in a car crash which apologize to Bobby for the pain it had caused him. Though after a disastrous event in which most of the members where killed the group disbanded and Bobby went on to further his career.
Later Bobby along with Hank joined Angel's new team which ended but being a reuniting of the X-Men under the new name of the X-Factor. Though after some fights with the likes of Apocalypse Bobby was capture by Loci to fight Thor. Though for Bobby to gain the level of power needed he was submitted to a machine which maximized his abilities beyond control. So when returning to his teammates side he could control his power of the ice and Leech had to be used to cancel them. Because of this Bobby began using an inhibitor belt to help keep his powers under control. He tend began dating a mutant called Infectia who was tricking him as she wanted to find out what would happen if she used her power on a mutant though Hank save him from what could have been a horrible fate.
After this Bobby dated Opal Tanaka who wsa aware of his identity so the relation went a little better then his previous ones until she was was capture by Yakusa and forced to marry Hiro. Bobby followed them to Japan and challenge Hiro. He returned home with Opal. After this he rejoins X-Men with the rest of the X-Factor. After rejoining the X-Men Bobby found he could control his powers once more and so he did not need the inhibitor belt any longer. The X-Men where separated into two groups with Bobby being put in the Gold group along with Angel and was led by Storm. He also continued seeing Opal and even took her to dinner with his parents. Though it wasn't long until the was attack by Yakusa again. This time Hiro gave his life to save Bobby and Opal. This made things hard for them and they eventually broke up.
When Bobby came across Mikhail Rasputin he realised that he had not yet reached his full potential and was able to turn his whole body into ice and not just cover it making him better at using his powers. Though when he was checking on Emma Frost who was in a coma like state she possessed him and was able to use his power in ways he didn't think possible. Though when she left his body Bobby himself wasn't able to use his power in the same way which made him a bit upset that Emma could use his powers better than he could. Later on while fighting Post his chest was shattered and he found himself unable to turn back to his normal form. Though with the help of Emma Frost he was able to refresh his body and return to his normal state again.
When Graydon Creed was running for presidency Bobby was chosen to infiltrate his campaign. It was here that he found his father was standing up for Mutants which surprised him as he hadn't always been this supporting before which reveal a new connection between Bobby and his father. So the people how worked for Graydon captured him and almost beat him to death. Because of this Bobby decided to spend some time way from the X-Men and spend it with his father. Though Bobby found and helped Cecilia Reyes who was trying to hide the fact she was a mutant. He took her and another to the Manson after defeating Bastion but soon left again in order for him to spend some more time with his parents. Bobby was also one of the twelve capture by Deathbird one of the horsemen of war at the time.
Afterwards he joined a new team of X-Men as he was now using his power in a whole new way by channel the ice and not turning his own body into it. After a battle with Black Tom Bobby received a chest injury and when turning back to his normal form he found that parts of his chest hadn't fully recovered and remained icy. This gave him a new attitude which made him be a little rude at times. He soon found himself in a relation with Annie though it was only a distraction from the fact that Havok and Polaris where to be married soon. Bobby had feelings for Polaris and Annie for Havok. So when Havok broke the weeding off Annie left Bobby and he began a relation with Polaris thought it didn't last.
After the effects of the House of M storyline Bobby was believed to be depowered though it was actually him suppressing his powers. Though he got them back thanks to the help of Emma Frost who unlocked his powers from his mind allowing him to turn from his icy form to his normal form and his chest wound had completely gone. Polaris who had been depowered left X-Men with Havok as he body guard. Bobby tired to chase them but Cyclopes convinced him to stay with the X-Men where he was needed. So now Bobby lives at the institute and teaches the students Maths and accounting as it still enables him to help the rest of the X-Men out easily.

[/center]it's time to make a choice
Role-play Example:
The darkness of the night has swept over the planes of Africa. The animals where asleep in the prides or packs with only the few nocturnal creatures creeping around the planes. This land was just some of the land under the reign of the Jenali monarchy and to see it so peaceful and happy brought a smile to Masozi soft lips. She was proud of the land that she partly owned. She had watched over it for many a year now and kept it safely in the hands of the Jenali monarchy. She ruled the land at her husbands side and with the other vampires that made up the Jenali's monarchy which included her two sons. Faraji and Sefu. They are her pride and joy. She is forever grateful to the vampire who allowed her to have the chance of a child and was even more pleased when she found that she had indeed been blessed with a pair of beautiful twin boys.
They maybe be one hundred and fifty years old each but since Masozi herself was one thousand five hundred and fifteen they are still most certainly little youngling's in her own eyes. Though every mother always sees her sons as little boys no matter how old they grow. Though in Masozi's case she wouldn't have to watch them grow any physically older she would always be able to watch them grow mentally into the men that they are. She will be able to watch her sons grow wiser and stronger for centuries and maybe even mulenia. One day she might even get to watch one of the rule of the kingdom with a Lady of the court by there side so she and Jenali could retire and relax a little. Though they would still keep an eye on them and if they ever needed to she had no doubt he husband would step up if it became to much for them.
Though that was way off into the future and may not even happen. There are many possibilities that could change the course of how they lived. Though Masozi didn't want to think of that. She hoped for the Jenali's to stay in rein for as long as she lived and to continue to reign on after her passing if it ever did happen. Masozi wasn't one of those vampires who thought that she would never die because she was a vampire. Especially now that one of the oldest reigning bodies of vampire had been over thrown and killed by a coven lead by hybrids. Thankfully they had only a grudge against the Volturi as one of the leaders came an made a pact with them so no harm would be done to either government of vampires. So for now vampires seemed to be at peace with each other though if anybody threaten the Jenali, Masozi and her husband would not take to it lightly.
Though now around Masozi all was quite. Masozi found the silence of the night relaxing and peaceful. Something that she had found to treasure when she could. Ruling the vampires of Africa could a tasking job at times though one had to hold parties and balls in order to be in keeping in what was happening in her land. It was how Masozi got to know who was doing what and also find out how the different vampires of Africa where copping with there various life styles. She had a duty to he people to make sure they where all safe and well. And holding balls was a lot more fin and exciting than having monthly meeting with a representative of each area to find out the exact same thing. And nobody could best Masozi at throwing a ball as it was very much her forte as she liked to meet as many new vampires as she could as any tips she could lean on keeping the the vegetarian life style would indeed be most welcome to her.
