She can use a single power for only an hour or a variety of powers for 45 minutes.

She is familiar with Attilan technology and the Fantastic Four’s devices. She is skilled in basic first aid. Her political skills give her +1 CS on such FEATS.

Role-Playing Notes:
Through the years Cyclops has been visited upon by many seeming tragedies. While these have not diminished his leadership, they have shaken his self-confidence in his personal affairs. When playing Cyclops you should be quick to think of ingenious team tactics.
History:
Crystal was the second child of Inhuman nutritionists Quelin and Ambur. Quelin was brother to Rynda, wife of Agon, the Inhuman’s king, and as such, Crystal was considered part of the Royal Family of Attilan. Like her older sister Medusa, Crystal was subjected to the Terrigren Mist while she was still an infant. The process endowed her with her mental powers.
Civil war erupted when she was a child, and Crystal fled Attilan with her kinsmen. Crystal grew to adulthood while traveling with her family on their search for the lost Medusa.
When they finally discovered Medusa in Manhattan, Medusa mistook them for enemies and fled to the sanctuary offered by the Fantastic Four. Although the two groups fought, the mistake was soon corrected and they became lifetime friends. It was then that Crystal first met Johnny Storm, the second Human Torch. They began a lengthy, intermittent, long-distance courtship. Crystal eventually returned to Manhattan to serve as a substitute member of the Fantastic Four during Sue Richards’ pregnancy leave. Unfortunately, during this period, it was discovered that the Inhumans were developing an allergy to industrial pollutants. Crystal was forced to return to Attilan.
Enroute she encountered Diablo, then discovered the wounded Quicksilver. She brought Quicksilver back to Attilan where she nursed him back to health and fell in love. When the Human Torch discovered the change in her affections, he engaged in a futile battle with his rival. In despair and anger, he cut his bonds with Crystal. She and Quicksilver wed soon afterward, in the first recorded marriage between an Inhuman and a human (albeit a mutant). Their first child, a girl they named Luna, was born soon after Attilan relocated to the Moon’s Blue Area. Luna became the source of antagonism between her parents. Her Inhuman genes had negated her mutant gene’s potential for super powers. Quicksilver wanted to exercise a father’s right to expose Luna to the Terrigen Mist in the hope that she would develop powers of her own. Only Lockjaw’s admission that he had been born in human form stayed Quicksilver’s hand. The marriage began to deteriorate. Quicksilver’s angry tirades against humans alienated Crystal. Although she was forbidden by AttiIan law to divorce him, she left both Quicksilver and Attilan. With Luna and nanny Maya in tow, Crystal returned to the Fantastic Four and the recently married Johnny Storm. Crystal was no longer the naive girl who readily acceded to others’ wishes. During her stay with the FF, Crystal demonstrated that she had become a hardened, even ruthless combatant. She also wanted Johnny back, although she resisted making overt plays toward him. Eventually, her family duty won out over her in dependence. She returned to Attilan to deal with the crisis posed by Medusa and Black Bolt’s child. Amidst the troubles, she and Quicksilver reconciled.
