Age: late 20's

Character description:
Shalimar is a tough fighter who protects the members of Mutant X like a fierce mother bear.
Life before Mutant X: Shalimar's father had placed her in a mental institution and paid the staff to inflict physical violence and beat her into becoming 'normal.'
Shalimar Fox has had anything but a simple kind of life. Daughter of Naxcon founder Nicholas Fox; Shalimar's father always believed something was wrong with his daughter. After years of trying to convince Shalimar that her feral nature was just a phase; Nicholas had her committed to a psychiatric institution when she was 12 years old. In hopes that they would make her normal he told her doctors to do whatever it took to 'fix' her. Daily she was beaten and drugged until she finally overpowered her doctors and escaped. She spent the next few months running across the country staying in two-bit motels along the way. Until Adam Kane found her more feral than human.
Unlike the rest of the team Shalimar's abilities are constantly a part of her. There is no "off switch," she has no way of turning down her enhanced strength, speed, agility, vision and hearing. Shalimar is always in conflict with her human half and her feral nature; least she regress to the state Adam found her in all those years ago. The truth remains that in her battle to remain human, she may lose the one thing that matters most to her: 'her family.'
Persuasion: (good evil neutral) Good
Type of Creature: Feral Mutant. Shalimar herself is classified as a "Feral Feline", meaning that she has animal genes spliced with her own to give her increased physical abilities.
Powers: Feline Physiology: She has been given Feline characteristics, granting her some special abilities which are beyond human ones. When using her abilities, her eyes sometimes take on a glowing orange catlike appearance.
Enhanced Strength: Her Feline powers make her very athletic, and her strength is considerably greater than normal. Thus, she can even bend steel objects, rip apart metallic web, and knock a human unconscious with one punch.
Leaping Ability: Superhuman Strength grants her the ability to make incredible acrobatic feats in the air, which can be used as an advantage during fights with other humans and Ferals.
Enhanced Speed: She is able to run much faster than an ordinary human, and is even able to rival the speed of a thrown knife.
Superhumanly Acute Senses: Shalimar possesses superhumanly acute senses of sight, smell, and hearing comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing with greater clarity and at greater distances than an ordinary human, and retains this same clarity, even in near-total darkness. Also, her enhanced sight allows her to see phenomena beyond normal spectrum, for example, infrared radiation. Her hearing is enhanced similarly, enabling her to both hear sounds that ordinary humans can't and to hear at much greater distances. Shalimar is able to use her highly developed sense of smell to track a target by scent.
Danger Sense: After further mutation, she is able to feel a danger to herself, like she has eyes at the back of her head.
Superhuman Agility: Shalimar's natural agility, balance, and coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Reflexes: Her natural reaction time is enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits.
Enhanced Metabolism: Enhanced Metabolism allows her to heal wounds and injuries much faster than an ordinary human.

History: Shalimar fox is in her late 20’s, a fiery and feral beauty utterly in touch with her primal nature. Shalimar is a little wild and completely unpredictable… breathtakingly sensual — the kind of woman what man — and frankly an awful lot of women too — throw themselves at, damning caution to get next to her outrageous sexiness…
… All of which are the natural outgrowth of her mutant abilities, drawn from the splicing and cross-indexing of human and animal genetic traits.
Shalimar possesses the strength, speed and relentlessness of the animal kingdom. Uncannily fast, inhumanly agile, sensually cat-like, wickedly guileful, and incredibly sexy… a beautiful, reckless, kittenish, flirtatious and funny woman.
Shalimar was born and raised in the south-west — the only survivor of a special branch of the Genomex project — a division experimenting with splicing the genetic makeup of a broad spectrum of the animal kingdom with fertilised human eggs.
Like all the various functions of the project, it was maintained in complete secrecy — and shut down immediately as a total disaster when all but one of the test subjects died — in many cases taking their mothers’ to the grave with them in childbirth.
Shalimar’s parents fled the facility, and her mother gave birth to her little girl in the desert. She was raised as a normal child, and grew into a striking beauty — who kept her secret deeply buried. Shalimar, like all the children of Genomex, knew from her earliest moments that she was special. As an infant she fell from a crib — and landed cat-like on her feet. When she was three she could out run and out climb her tabby.
It was her fear — of exposure, of embarrassment, of shame — a feeling she shared with so many other children of Genomex - that kept her from sharing these secrets with anyone. Like all the children of Genomex she was continuing to evolve. Shalimar developed an instinctual ability to read people — and she acted recklessly on what she learned, without restraint or regard for any consequences.
And it was on one of these reckless adventures that she found herself face to face with Adam — the first man she couldn’t "read". Adam told Shalimar her own story right back to her — with sympathy, empathy and understanding. Adam knew all about her feeling frightened, isolated, alone — and frankly inhuman. He shared his own secrets with her, and then explained the danger she was in from Mason Eckhart and his security division — and together — with the blessings of her parents, who have no idea of their beautiful and loving daughter’s secrets — the left her old life behind, disappearing into the night.
