REAL NAME: Chandler, Meredith

Halloween 1994 - magnetic as Polaris |
| HISTORY:
Magnetic enjoyed a "normal" childhood for all intents and purposes. It wasn't until a family vacation drove her to pick up a comic book in Honolulu that she became the person she is today. She spent her turbulent high school years escaping into the pages of her favorite comic book, Peter David's X-Factor. When David left the book she began creating fictions of her own with friends. Her parents feared that she was hopelessly lost in a fantasy world of her own making. Their worst suspicions were confirmed when she demonstrated an embarassing lack of commitment to her higher education, moved home to attend community college and started Project: POLARIS. Aware of her own shortcomings, Magnetic worked hard at community college and finally set aside her more etheral pursuits in exchange for a Battle Dress Uniform and Air Force Blues. |

| Standardized military testing revealed that Magnetic had a natural ability for languages. She attended 63 weeks of intense language training at the Defense Language Institute (class KP0599) and graduated, fluent in Korean. From there she was sent to Texas for 5 more months of intelligence training to complete her certification as a Korean Cyrptologic Linguist. | 
KP0599, section B - Down Time |
| Upon graduation, Magnetic was sent to Osan Air Base, South Korea to serve a 18 month tour of duty. While she heartily enjoyed the challenges her work presented her she found it difficult to accept the "because I said so" policy of the U.S. Military and soon found herself looking forward to her date of separation. The day to day minutae of the military hierarchy soon eclipsed the joy she had in her work so in February 2003 she bid them a bittersweet farewell. She is currently unemployed by society's standards but considers the maintaining and expanding of her bitterness to be a full time job. |
