Name: Sarah Vale
Alias: Network
Age: 22
Birthday: November 6
Appearance: Network is petite, at 5'4" tall and about 95 lbs. She has long auburn hair and hazel eyes.
Personality: Network is brutally honest and sarcastic. She's confident and doesn't give much thought to what other people think of her. She isn't rude, per se, but people are often put off by her directness. She has a sharp wit and low tolerance for nonsense.
Powers: Cyberpathy (the ability to communicate mentally with any kind of machine.)
Background/History: Network and her twin sister Preview (also a mutant) were raised in a series of foster homes. When they started reading about mutants, they would fantasize about having super powers in order to run away and start a new life. During one of their games of make believe, Preview had her first premonition - that Network would turn the television on by pointing at it, like magic. A few minutes later, it happened, and the girls began to explore what they could do. They hid their discoveries from their foster parents, who could barely tolerate them as it was. They didn't want to give them any extra reasons to turn them back over to the state.
Child services tried to keep the sisters together each time they were moved, but at age 10, they were separated. Network was inconsolable and acted out in school, which made her undesirable to potential foster parents and she ended up in a group home. She learned early not to get attached to anyone because there had never been anyone (other than her sister) who she could count on.
Network finished high school and, at 18, was no longer a ward of the state. She moved to Chicago and got a job designing software. The company she worked for turned her away initially because she didn't have a degree, but she convinced them of her value by hacking into their system and sending them a comprehensive report on necessary upgrades and improvements. In her spare time, she tried her hardest to find her sister. Shortly after her 20th birthday, Network found out from a former foster family that her sister had been killed in a car accident several years prior. She was devastated.
Network was never ashamed of her mutation, but was always a private person with trust issues, so she kept it (along with any other personal details) to herself. She followed the news closely, and realized that things were bad for mutants and steadily getting worse. She was angered by the things she saw on the news and decided to try to help any way that she could. At various protests and rallies, she heard about the X-Men and Xavier's school. After some research, she realized that, short of infiltrating the government itself, this school and it's involvement in mutant affairs was her best bet at making a difference. She quit her job, closed out her modest bank account, and caught a plane for New York.
At the school, Network became friends with another Cyberpath named Tron, and in an attempt to disprove Omen's prophecy unfortunately fulfilled it, starting the war that would cause so much death and destruction. Consumed with guilt, she went into hiding.
