*smacks forehead*
Around the age of 14 through 16 she went through a completely different change. At this time she gained pull control over her telepathic powers. While on the inside she was still British to the heart, on the outside she wasn’t.
I'm sorry, what's this about still being British inside and outside not British? I like what you did with the rest of this paragraph, but do something about this British/non-British nonesence.
OR (even better) FORGET EVERYTHING YOU EVER KNEW ABOUT PSYLOCKE. Here is what you know based on the movie: She's got tattos and purple hair. She can make sonic booms by clapping her hands together. She thinks she's bad ass and is following Magneto around because she knows he's powerful.
There. Make me a character from THAT.

Why does she have all those crazy psychic powers when in the movie, she clearly had that sonic blast thing? How could it be possible for her to exchange mutant powers when the rest of mutant-kind cant?

Actually, the clappy one with the net shirt was Arclight; Psylocke's powers I don't think were ever actually seen - the most she did was have purple hair and I thought I remembered her bursting into cornflakes at the end, but I'm not sure. I do know that Arclight was the one who clapped, though.
However, your bio does STILL say that she didn't grow up a white British mutant, when I think it had been settled on that she did and it had been removed from various other parts of the application.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arclight_%28comics%29(arg, I can't do the links with words instead of the url yet) At the bottom of that page is a picture of Arclight, then Calliso, then Psylocke, going left to right. Psylocke also has an extensive page on Wikipedia. Arclight, the one who clapped, is the one with the silly hair. Many of Psylocke's powers as described in this application are actually canon. She's just that awesome. (Personally, I disagree with her being quite that awesome for purposes of not having Mary Sues about, but that's me.) Arclight is the one who's just boomy.

I prefer the boomy over a manifested weapon. But wait, who was the mutant that looked like the wall, but then walked away and was a mutant?

*smacks forehead again* THAT was Psylock? She didn't even have a single line in the movie! My appologies Sekhmet, I thought you were trying to play the "boomy" chic as Magneto put it. (I'm glad your not playing her - her hair freaked me out).
Let me re-read your bio with the correct Psylock in mind and I'll get back to you.

Was it girl-Asian or boy-Asian? Was its hair purple? Because there was Spyke (if that's even Spyke), who as Asian, too.
It could very well have been Psylocke, but I didn't read her powers closely enough to know if she could camofluage. I mean, it stands to reason that she could, what with all the other psychological stuff she could do - just wipe herself from an opponent's mind.
*blathers on*
edit: And yes, I agree that the Cowlick of Doom was highly disturbing.

Ok, I've re-read, with the real Psylock in mind this time (once again, appologies for the boomy-thing).
For now, you need to cut back on her powers. You say in the weakness section that she can't control them well, but in the paragraph above that you talk about her full-stregth sheilds and katanas and all the other things she can do. I would choose one or two for right now, and develope the rest during the course of the game. The point is not to beat everyone else at powers here - the point of games like this is character developement.
There are also some inconsistancies still with the Crimson Dawn and the english->asian thing. Read through it very carefully (outloud if you're not at work or the library or some other uncomfortable place) and fix these.

Quite honestly, due to the fact that this is movie verse and Crimson Dawn hasn't in fact happened, I'd actually sincerely suggest that you drop the Asian thing all together. This gives you the opportunity for roleplaying a plot at a later time to perhaps play that out.

Ok, from Wiki (much as we hate Wiki) this is what X3s Psylocke can do:
"Melancon said that in X3, Psylocke has the power to turn into a shadow and create psi-blades. However, in the film, she doesn't appear to create psi-blades, but she does blend into the shadows... In the novelization of the film, Psylocke does indeed escape by teleporting away."
So there is what you have to work with from the movie as to her powers and how she got away from Alcatraz.

I'm going by wikipedia on the Crimson Dawn as they said that is was suspected that because she could blend into Shadows, that she was the Crimson Dawn version of Psylocke.
"In the film, she fights against the X-Men as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. During an interview with Wizard magazine, Melancon said that in X3, Psylocke has the power to turn into a shadow and create psi-blades (which suggests that the Psylocke in the film is the "Crimson Dawn" version of Psylocke). However, in the film, she doesn't appear to create psi-blades, but she does blend into the shadows. It is unclear if Psylocke escaped Phoenix's disintegration wave that killed her allies Arclight and Kid Omega because she ran off camera when they were zapped. In the novelization of the film, Psylocke does indeed escape by teleporting away."

Yes, I read that. BUT, I'm telling you that its not going to fly at this game. And seeing as how it's my game, and I make the rules, its not going to fly here.
And in that paragraph about the movie they are only refering to her as such because its in her known comic history. We don't care about her known comic history. In fact, so long as she turned out to be a purple-haired, psi-blade weilding, shadow using, brotherhood member I don't care if her history says she grew up on a farm in Quebec with a goat named Chi. It doesn't matter what her comic history is so long as it makes sense, and quite frankly teh Crimson whoever doesn't make sense.

Everything pertaining to the Crimson Dawn has been taken out of both her history and powers. I limited her powers to two.

You've improved your bio a lot since you first posted it. Congrats. But just a small note that's been killing me for a while. "In deep comparison to her petitness, she is not all that tall, only coming to 5’3” and weighing nearly 122 pounds."
Petite usually implies small all around, so its not a comparison if she's short. And you said she looks scrawny, but 122lbs on a small girl would hint at a fair amount of muscle, or extra meat on the bones.
