Powers:
Geokinesis: can psionically control the movement of the tectonic plates within the Earth's crust within limited areas, probably no less than a radius of a few city blocks. Within this area she can create small or large earthquakes by psionically affecting the Earth's crust.
Pyrokinesis: can create flames and project blasts of heat that do not contain any molten rock. However, she apparently prefers to fire magma blasts rather than simple heat blasts, perhaps because the magma blasts have a solid impact that can knock down a target. The highest level of heat that Magma can generate is not yet known, but it is believed that she can reach at least 850° Fahrenheit or higher.
Magma Manipulation: can psionically cause magma, or molten rock, from far beneath Earth's surface to rise to and break through the surface, forming miniature volcanoes. can also telekinetically project fiery blasts of magma at targets. Apparently she does so by turning nearby rock molten and then telekinetically hurling it at her target.
Magma Form: When using her powers Magma's body shines with intense light and gives off tremendous heat. Her hair seems ablaze with fiery light. Neither her own heat nor heat from any other known source can burn or otherwise harm Magma. Magma has triggered small earth tremors without taking on her glowing form. Magma is not blinded by the light she gives off in her shining form.
Magma's power to create small or large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is linked to her emotions. She could unintentionally create major earthquakes and large-scale volcanic activity by losing control of her temper and becoming unusually angry.

Abilities: Amara is a skilled swords woman due to her training in Nova Roma. Extensive knowledge of ancient Roman culture. Also is Granted the ability to heal simultaneously when touched by some heat substance.

Weakness: Magma's powers depend on her maintaining contact with the Earth or whichever planet she is on, or at least with a floor that is part of a structure in contact with the ground. Magma's powers are linked to her emotions; hence, by losing her temper she can temporarily lose control of her powers.

Paraphernalia and Equipment: Amara's costume and clothing are made from unstable molecules so that they will not be harmed by the tremendous heat she generates.

Weapons: None

Uniform:

Personality: Shy and reserved are two words probably best used to describe Amara. To those that do not know her she comes across as a very timid person however can get defensive when talking about the great empire of Rome and her ancestry. To those however that she does know she is a warm and caring individual with a brilliant and often cheeky sense of humour. She is the sort of girl that has very high morals and would not partake in anything that could harm others intentionally.

History: Amara hails from the fictional country of Nova Roma (New Rome), a colony of the Roman Republic reportedly founded shortly after the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. The colony was hidden in modern Brazil and was ruled until recently by the immortal mutant sorceress Selene. Amara is the daughter of Lucius Antonius Aquilla. He was presumably a member of the historical gens Antonia which claimed descent from Anton, son of Hercules.
A faction of the city’s Inca population attempted to transform the republic into an imperial state and a dark cult following the Black Priestess was regularly sacrificing young girls in a pit of fire in some caves beneath Nova Roma. Senator Aquilla was the leader of the opposition to this faction. Fearing for his daughters safety, he sent his daughter Amara to live in the jungles outside Nova Roma, disguised as an Indian. Later, the senator discovered that the Black Priestess was actually the immortal mutant Selene, wife of Senator Marcus Domitius Gallio, the leader of the Imperial faction.
Amara remained in hiding for years until she was captured by the New Mutants, who were on an expedition in the Amazon jungle. They learned of her disguise, but then both Amara and the New Mutants were captured by soldiers of Nova Roma and imprisoned. Now held prisoner by Selene, Amara was to be sacrificed. Selene used her mutant powers to drain Amara's life energy into her own body. The New Mutant named Mirage attacked Selene. This distraction caused Selene to release Amara from her control, but Selene knocked Amara into the pit of lava.
Somehow, rather than harming Amara, her immersion in the lava awakened her latent mutant powers. Together, Amara, with her new-found powers, and the New Mutants defeated Selene and helped thwart Senator Gallio's attempt to kill Senator Aquilla and seize power. Amara was instructed to go to the United States with the New Mutants and there learn about modern civilization. At first Magma experienced culture shock, however she soon got a handle of modern civilization, including such things as computers and electricity.

At the age of 16, Amara ventured from the Institute hoping to go home for a summer vacation. However she found herself captured by a powerful telepath who buried all knowledge of her heritage deep within her subconscious, she was renamed Alison Crestmere and sent to live with a british family. When she didn’t return for the new semester at the Xavier Institute, Professor Xavier sent a few members of the current X-Men roster to bring her back after locating her using Cerebro. Finding that she no longer knew who she was, Xavier had to delve deep into her mind to undo all that the telepath before had done. Since then she has had a phobia of anyone entering her mind without permission. When Xavier died during the Alien War she felt a great deal of sadness because she had viewed him in the same light as her father but it was not the first loss she had experienced having lost a close friend and secret love just months prior to the first attack by the aliens. She still remains at the Institute hoping that perhaps one day she will have proper control over her powers.
