*Bounces and waves*  Yuto! Yuto!  Over here!  

Voluptuos Vixen! Just the girl I was looking for!  This is Yuto!  You are just the GM he needs in his life!  Could you please give my young friend a fair shot at tasting the superpowered slice of life delicacies that you bring to Eliquiy so exquisitely?  

[yutohase]

Uh... hi? I'm Yuto. I got sent here by Muse I guess?

I'm not really a fan of irl face claims or canon characters but I'll try to make this work? It's not a deal breaker or anything, just a preference.

I'm a bit tired right now so I'll respond to things tomorrow.

[Muse]

  You don't need to a cannon character, Yuto.  You get some sleep, okay?  Plenty of time for this in the next few days, but thank you for stopping in to wave on the way to bed.  


   I usually start with an original superhero--like, a teenage mutant student at Xaviers.  (Not quite sure what the theme is here compared those games.)  And then Pumpkin or Silk suggests a cannon X-man that they think I'll be really good at playing that i know from the 90s cartoon when i was growing up and talk me through it, but this is it's own time line so my spin on that character is fine.  *smiles*  

  So just focus on your own original character and see what develops from there.  

  (Silk, VV, you can make an exception on the RL face claim for a player who's uncomfortable with them, right?)  

[VoluptuousVixen]

yeah drawn images are fine. 

[Muse]

Is this the story line we're following?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Still think the young Blob works for you. Last the one in the movie that shall not be named.

[Muse]

Hehehe.  My first priority was to get Yuto here.  *smiles*  

I'm not sure if I have the time to play.  I need to know what posting pace Vixen wants.  That's what I was just hopping on to ask.  

Vixen, what kind of posting pace are you hoping for?  

Pumpkin, i was actually thinking about trying to do Beat again.  I had some other ideas too.

This might spark interest.

Oh I'm interested. I finished Torrent a while back, though admittedly, I don't know if she's approved.

Character Sheets:
Hero Name: Lava Lord
Legal Name: Reilly Takahashi
Origin of Powers: Mutant. Mutation was revealed when saving a Japanese girl, his girlfriend that summer, from being swept into water heated to boiling by an under water lava vent after she fell off a boat

Age: 20
Sexuality: Pansexual, dominant, polyamorous
Description (Appearance): In human form, he stands at around 5'10" tall, has fair skin, lava red hair and amber orange eyes. He has a slightly lean, athletic build. In his Lava Lord form, he becomes much larger, at about 7'6" tall, and seems to be chiseled out of molten volcanic rock.

A surprise under Reilly's clothes.  It's a secret!

His Lava Lord form also has three large dragon cocks (and large can be up to interpretation, I'm willing to be flexible to players' desires).

Powers:
In human form he has:
--Low level super strength and toughness.
--High level fire resistance.
--Can spend about "one panel" transforming into his "lava lord" form.
In Lava Lord form he has:
--Mid level super strength and toughness.
--High level fire projection with poor precision.
--Mid level psychokinetic control of existing flames. This power needs alot of development.
--Fire immunity. Though the limits of this power have not been well tested, it seems to be complete and absolute.
--Infravision.
Lava Lord form has two major limitations:
--It takes a while to get out of. When Reilly first discovered the form he had to actually go to sleep to get out of the form. Now he needs to spend quite some time calming down. Potentially an hour or more, but at least several dozen minutes. (could be used to good effect for some warm cuddles or hot sex scenes)
--Though Reilly is resistant to damage in Lava Lord form, his healing is not much faster than a normal human beings and his blood is lava. While this can save his life if he's just been stabbed by an enemy, it can make medical treatment extremely problematic and he's extremely afraid of hurting his friends by bleeding on them. Fortunately an open wound can be closed quickly be wading into the ocean!

Gambit
Name: Remy Etienne LeBeau
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Age: 31
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180 lbs
Affiliation: X-Men, X-Force, Thieves Guild, Marauders, Horsemen
Played by: Bowen
Face Claim: Nick Bateman

Personality: Gambit is cunning, smart, tricky, manipulative, and sneaky. Despite all this, he seems to have a good heart deep down and even a bit of a conscience. Gambit can be prone to sarcastic outbursts when annoyed or stressed out, and he can make a good quip here and there. He would sometimes rather talk a problem out then fight, depending on the situation. It was never shown whether Gambit was flirtatious or even romantic, but it's very clear, Gambit's a powerful mutant, but also is an expert thief and has a charm that the other Acolytes lack. He's a master of witty one-liners and has an abundance of charisma and self-confidence.

History
Abandoned at birth, Remy LeBeau was stolen by the New Orleans chapter of the Thieves Guild. His devilish red eyes earned him the tag "le diable blanc", or "the white devil". The Thieves Guild believed that Remy would be the inheritor of a prophecy that was foretold in which he would be a vital part of their future. Raised as the adopted son of Jean-Luc LeBeau, Remy would spend the earliest years of his life learning the art of theft, as he became a specialist at pickpocketing. At the age of 8 years old, Remy met and fell in love with the patriarch of the Assassin's Guild, Bella Donna Boudreax. Due to the conflicts between the Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guild, the two childrens fathers arranged for them to be married when they became of age. The union between Remy and Bella would ensure lasting peace between the two.

Guilds, and though both were reluctant, in the end the two agreed. It was sometime during his teen years when Remy's mutant talents began to emerge. Unlike most developing mutants, Remy seemed to gain control over his abilities with ease, using them for various tasks for the Thieves Guild. During a visit to Spain with his cousin Etienne, Remy and Etienne were captured by the beautiful villianness, Candra, whom claimed to have met Remy prior. After a chance escape thanks to Remy's powers, the two were apprehended by The Pig, whom Remy managed to fend off with the use of a deck of throwing card that he kinetically charged. Despite escaping, the two boys had fallen into the ocean where although Remy was rescued, his cousin Etienne had drowned. Shortly before his wedding to Bella Donna, Remy travelled to Paris with his adoptive brother Henri. It was there that Gambit would complete his rites of passage and earn his place into the Thieves Guild. The task was to steal a valuable jewel called l’Etoile du Tricherie, but it had already been stolen by another. After a failed mishap, Remy was introduced to the murderous Sabretooth for the first time, whom almost took the life of Henri had Remy not chosen to return the jewel and save his brother. When his wedding day came, Remy was challenged to a duel by Bella Donna's brother Julien, who opposed any type of union between the two duels. Remy won the duel, but in by doing so he killed Julien and was exiled from the Guilds. Banished from the Guilds, Remy left New Orleans and became a master thief over time.

Powers
Molecular Acceleration: Remy has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus “charging” that item with explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object. The larger it is, the more time it takes.
* Dissolution: Gambit can also cause objects to pull themselves apart instead of exploding violently making them harmlessly melt down to nothing. Once having focused charging on dissolving shrapnel in a victim's stomach and at times when jump-started able to overcharge falling debris from crumbling buildings. His control over this has increased to the point he can shatter ice he was encased in without blowing up.
* Disruption: Gambit can take his explosive acceleration to temporarily scramble the sensory awareness of a person, knocking them out cold
* Enhanced Conditioning:Gambit's ability to tap energy also grants him increased speed, strength, reflexes and reactions, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance as a side effect, bestowing him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style.
*    Accelerating Regeneration: Gambit can enhance his own recovery rate by stimulating his own cellular activity. Through this process he once healed after removing a bone slag lodged in his chest.[27] Another time, when his eyes were damaged by a charged card exploding in his face, Sage augmented his powers and enabled him to restore his sight
*    Speed Augmentation:LeBeau can use his kinetic abilities to vastly increase his reflexes and locomotion to incredible extremes. Shown by dodging bullets, lasers, catching a bullet and throwing it back, blocking bullets with his staff, able to dodge missiles, spotting a magical bullet and knocking it out of the air scant moments before it struck him in the eye.
* Static Interference: Creates natural static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that shields his mind from intrusion by telepaths. Can increase the effect by holding a charged object near his head. Although reportedly uncomfortable for the parties involved, this shield does not totally prevent telepathic invasion.
* Vibration Emission: Gambit, through kinetic acceleration instead of conversion, can emit a shockwave accompanying a bright flashbang which leaves a sizable crater in the ground He can also charge items and not have them explode, such as his bo staff and even Captain America's shield. Rather than exploding, the energy is released upon impact.
* Shearing/Cutting: By charging his cards, Remy can use them to slice through objects as dense as solid steel without worry of them exploding.

Abilities
Multilingual: He is fluent in English and Cajun French. He also knows some Japanese though he is not very fluent.
Master Marksman: He is extremely skilled in throwing small objects such as cards, bolas, knives, and balls with great accuracy.
Master Martial Artist: A profound fighter, often employing martial arts, street fighting, and acrobatics. He is well adept in the martial arts Savate (French kickboxing), and Bojutsu, the art of using a Bo staff.
Master Stick Fighter: Remy's extreme skills in Bojutsu makes him dangerously skilled in the use of his bo staff.
Master Thief: One of the world's greatest thieves, being able to get into anyplace on earth
Gifted Intellect: Gambit is a born strategist, and without studying, he managed to prove himself to be one of the greatest strategists of the X-Men. It is possible that he is as good a strategist as Wolverine or Beast.

Weaknesses
* Mutant: with a human appearance (moderated by X-Men uniforms)
* Touch required: Generally, Gambit's powers require physical contact to function and were nearly, if not totally, incapable of affecting organic matter. His abilities have occasionally been augmented so that these limitations are no longer applicable.

Paraphernalia
Equipment
Guild Costume: Gambit's guild costume is armored, providing better protection than a normal X-Men uniform,[89] according to Gambit himself, there may be a slight headache from being hit, but bullets and energy blasts will bounce off the armor. On his recent adventures Remy LeBeau stole a magic deck of Tarot Cards from Lady Saturnyne's keep, each one having the magical ability represented by the mystical arcana based upon the various characters who represent them, such as Longshot's visage on the wheel of fate governing good fortune.
