X-men Forever RPG: (90`s Era/LGTB Freindly) OPEN

[VoluptuousVixen]

An X-men Game set during the 1990s era of the comics. Inspired by the resale of the new X-men 92 comic. Just to be clear, this game is set before the AGE OF APOCALYPSE, ONSLAUGHT, SEARCH FOR XAVIER, E IS FOR EXTINCTION, HERE COMES TOMMROW, HOUSE OF M, MESSIAH COMLEX, MESSIAH WAR and all the story's that followed it.

As far as the X-men are concerned the legacy virus hasn't been infected into the mutant population and their oldest enemy Magneto was killed during their last battle on Asteroid M. X-force are out fighting for Xavier's dream in a more violent style, The Hellfire Club has disbanded after the deaths of the Hellions, X-factor is working for the government and Genoshia is a mutant graveyard.

I WILL accept more recent characters from the X-men universe like say X-23, Hellion, Pixie etc etc. But we will need  to figure out together how to bring them into the fold in a new and exciting way.

I am also open to created characters but the same applys to them. They will need to be RECRUITED into the fold.

The Game will it be a cross of sandbox and GM-driven. The first Story Arc is already been planned out.
Violence and sexual content is Encouraged but as is story development and plot.
It is a Freeform  game, combat will be resolved via a polling system or done privately between the GM and the players depending on the seize of the battle.

APPERENACE:







HISTORY:

Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Born Ororo Munroe, her mother, N'Daré, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya, who married the American photojournalist, David Munroe, and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.

When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt and, at the age of five, a plane crash destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.

She became a thief and was the first of Xaviers students to encounter him. But despite offers she didn't return to America with him.
Months later, however, Professor Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm, as he called her, and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being, known as Krakoa. Prof. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a "goddess", but a mutant and had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world, just as she had helped the local tribes. Curious, Ororo accepted Professor Xavier's offer and was given the codename "Storm". After most of the original team left, Ororo, along with fellow new recruits Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, Thunderbird, and Banshee stayed as members of the new X-Men.
After serving with the team for two years, Storm was appointed leader of the team following the departure of former leader, Cyclops, after the apparent death of Jean Grey.

Soon after, the X-Men encountered the underground community of mutants, known as the Morlocks, who had kidnapped one of their former members, Angel. To save her friend, Storm challenged the Morlock leader, Callisto, to a duel and bested her in hand-to-hand combat. As a result, Storm became leader of the Morlocks and she ordered them to cease their hostilities against the surface-dwelling humans.
When the X-Men later traveled to Japan to attend the wedding of their team member Wolverine, Storm first met the ninja named Yukio and the X-Men battled Viper and Silver Samurai over control of Clan Yashida. A friend of Wolverine's, Yukio was the most carefree spirit that Ororo had ever met and the two became fast friends. Yukio influenced a major rebellious change in Storm's attitude towards life and she took to wearing leather and shaved her hair into a Mohawk.

Storm later had her powers accidentally neutralized by Henry Gyrich with a gun invented by the mutant machinist, named Forge, who took it upon himself to nurse Storm back to health. During her convalescence at Forge’s headquarters in Eagle Plaza in Dallas, Texas, Storm and Forge fell in love, but their relationship was cut short after Storm learned Forge had created the device that stripped her of her powers.
She However continued to serve as leader of the team without her mutant gifts.

But her powers were eventually restored by the time the X-men temporarily moved to Australia. Throughout the ever changing roaster of the X-men over the next few years Storm remind a loyal member. She was assigned as leader of the GOLD team recently.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

A) Weather Control;

Storm has demonstrated a plethora of abilities, most of which are facets of her power to manipulate the weather. Storm possesses the psionic ability to control all forms of Weather Manipulation over limited areas. She has been able to control both Earthly and extra terrestrial ecosystems on several occasions. She can modify the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture (at a molecular level), generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. She can incite all forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and hurricanes, as well as mist. She can dissipate such weather to form clear skies as well.

B) Electromagnetic;

Also known as Electromagnetic Radiation, EM Energy is the mixture of electric fields and magnetic fields combining together causing the flow of electricity to generate multiple effects. The electromagnetic force is second in effective strength only to the strong force and is infinite in range. Storm has a direct relationship with this source of energy. By using him as a lightning rod, Storm was able to focus a massive amount of EM energy through Colossus, and then into herself, and has also shown the ability to create EMPs of varying degrees. Electromagnetic radiation is classified according to the frequency of its wave. One classification would be gamma rays. Using a combination of gamma radiation and kinetic energy Storm was able to deflect solar flares from the sun around the entire planet. Since Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, Storm is also able to use this source of energy to amplify her other abilities to incredible levels.

C)Radiant/Solar Energy;

Radiant Energy is the energy of EM waves and can be transmitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Sun as well as other stars produce radiant energy and given the right circumstances Storm can manipulate this energy on a large scale. Outer Space contains elements of much larger quantities and potency than that on Earth, which is why Storm's powers are seen as amped during her time in space. Storm was able to manipulate the radiant energy from the solar corona of the sun and convert it to Solar winds to fly in space, as well as create a Force 12 Gale to destroy a sentinel backed by the full power of the sun. Both are impressive feats but the most ambiguous display occurred when Storm summoned the full power of an entire galactic core, millions of stars and suns within a close proximity, within herself to stop a brood transformation

WEAKNESSES:

A)Claustrophobia: (Practically formerly) Having been trapped under rubble for three days while her mother lay dying, Storm's claustrophobia was once so severe, it rendered her completely helpless. However, she has more or less conquered her fear, though tight spaces still make her uncomfortable.

B)Emotional Influence:(Practically Formerly) Storm's ability to manipulate the weather in her immediate vicinity is affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. As a result, Storm has in the past kept a tight rein on all extreme emotions.

C) Physical Condition:(Practically Formerly) Storm is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to put an end to a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly killed herself from exhaustion in the process.

PERSONALITY:

A passionate and careining nature. A born leader and mother figure. She has a passionate side.
Storm was formerly in a serious relationship with Forge.
Ororo lost her virginity to T'Challa, at age 12.
Storm is claustrophobic due to her traumatic childhood experiences in Cairo.
Ororo was best friends with Jean Grey who she considers her *sister*
Storm is also very close with Wolverine (friends with benefit's), Colossus, Nightcralwer, Kitty Pryde, Gambit and Rogue.
Ororo considers she and Cyclops to have a healthy sibling like rivalry with each other.
Storm considers Charles Xavier to be second farther to her.

EQUIPMENT:

Storm often carries lock picks. Also formerly a knife for protection when she lost her powers. and M'Rinn gave her a Cameo Crystal that could detect and allow Storm to get to M'Rinn's dimension.

KNOWN ENEMIES: The Shadow King, Mystique, Calisto and The Man Ape.

APPERENACE:




HISTORY:

Kitty was born in Deerfield, Illinois. When she was 13 years old, she began getting headaches which were the result of her mutant powers starting to manifest. Both the Hellfire Club and Professor X pursued Kitty to get her to join their cause. Kitty did not like Emma Frost or her attitude which made Kitty feel uncomfortable around her. It was an easy decision for Kitty to go with Xavier and the few X-Men accompanying him. One of the X-Men was Storm, and they quickly became friends.

The X-Men were abruptly attacked by mercenaries sent by Emma Frost. They battled and The X-Men defeated them easily, but Emma used her telepathy to freeze everyone. Kitty was able to slip away during the confusion and contacted Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. They arrived soon after and Kitty helped them rescue the captured X-Men. Xavier returned Kitty to her parents who were furious that their daughter had been missing for an entire day. When Professor Xavier requested that she be allowed to study at his School For Gifted Youngsters, Kitty's parents refused, and expressed their fear for the danger they felt he represented to their daughter. Jean Grey erased their memories and replaced them with false ones, thus changing their perception of Professor Xavier. Kitty's parents relented, and she was allowed to join the school, becoming the youngest X-Man ever.

While in the X-men, Kitty developed a relationship with her (older) team member, Colossus. She also became close friends with his sister Illyana Rasputin. Initially, Kitty was also uncomfortable around mutants with irregular physical features such as Nightcrawler. Eventually she overcame this problem as she got to know him, and the two became close friends. During a mission in space, Kitty befriended an alien dragon named Lockheed. They gained a psychic bond with each other and Lockheed became extremely loyal to Kitty. To this day the two are nearly inseparable.

While dating Colossus Kitty met Douglas Ramsey, a bright young man who shared her love for computers, science fiction, and arcade games. The two seemed an ideal pair; both notably bright (Kitty has been said to possess 'genius-level intelligence', Doug being on par), from similar backgrounds, and close in age.

This was not lost on Colossus, who sometimes wondered if he, a 'simple Russian farm boy', could make Kitty as happy as her new friend seemed to. The White Queen stated that Kitty had feelings for Doug when she tried to persuade the young woman to transfer to Massachusetts Academy. Despite all this, Kitty and Colossus remained close, often going to Salem Center on dates. Colossus, despite having stated that he and Kitty had already talked about having a life together once she was old enough, developed feelings for an alien named Zsaji whom he met during the Secret Wars. At first he thought the feelings were due to the side-effects of her healing powers, but he eventually realized them as genuine emotion. The object of his affections, however, died in battle, a loss that affected the young Russian profoundly. Once back on earth, he confessed to Kitty that he had not been faithful and cheated on her with Zsaji. This ultimately ended their relationship.

When Kitty's father, Carmen Pryde, ran into trouble with the Yakuza, she went to Japan to investigate. She was kidnapped and brainwashed by a ninja Yakuza boss named Ogun. Using a combination of brainwashing and training techniques that bordered on magical, Ogun turned her into an assassin and she single-handedly killed entire groups of ninjas. When he felt she was ready, Ogun ordered her to kill Wolverine. Kitty nearly did kill Wolverine before his friend, Yukio, beat her senseless, allowing Kitty the opportunity to defeat the brainwashing. Kitty realized that she had been turned into a killing machine and tried to run away, however Wolverine stopped her and forced her to confront her issues. Kitty, Wolverine, and Yukio battled Ogun together and defeated him. Defeated and humiliated, Ogun tried to kill her, but impaled himself on Wolverine's claws as he passed through Kitty's phased form. In the end Kitty decided not to kill Ogun which convinced Wolverine that she was herself again.

Together, Kitty and Wolverine helped her father recover, eventually returning to New York City. The two have since developed a big brother/little sister relationship. She also adopted the code name Shadowcat after this event.

During the Mutant Massacre, Kitty was badly injured saving Rogue from Harpoon. Her injury made her unable to un-phase and she was rushed to Muir Island to be treated by Dr. Moira MacTaggert. Moria was able to stop her from losing physical substance which would have made her cease to exist, but was not able to do more. Kitty was still intangible and had to make an extreme effort of concentration to become solid. At first they went to Mr. Fantastic for help, but he declined, claiming that he did not know what he could do for her. The X-Men turned to Doctor Doom, which angered the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four then tried to stop Dr. Doom from treating Kitty, believing that Doom had an ulterior motive, and they battled the X-Men. Franklin Richards stopped the two teams from fighting and made everyone come to their senses, in the process bonding considerably with Kitty herself. Reed Richards saw the error of his ways and decided to help the wounded young mutant, saving her life.

During a fight with the Adversary (Kitty was not present due to her injuries from the Mutant Massacre), the X-Men made a sacrificing move to defeat him. This was televised live and it showed the X-Men being killed while defeating the Adversary. They were later resurrected and decided to keep a low profile so they could have the advantage on their enemies. This meant they could not contact friends, family or even Kitty. Thinking her friends had died, Kitty was devastated. She left the X-Men mansion together with her long time teammate Nightcrawler and her pet dragon, Lockheed, and went to Britain. There she helped form the superhero team Excalibur which included new teammates Captain Britain and Meggan.

She and Rachel Summers (an old X-Men teammate) were good friends, however, she was annoyed with her a great deal sometimes as most men they met were only interested in Rachel. Wanting to be like Rachel, Kitty dressed up in one of Rachel's costumes, strapped some high heels on, painted her face and went out on the town.After some time with Excalibur, Kitty learned that the X-men, who she presumed dead, where still alive. While being happier then she had been in a while, she and Nightcrawler choose to remain with Excalibur. 

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Kitty Pryde has the ability to pass through solid matter by allowing the molecules of her body to travel through the space between the molecules of whatever solid she is traveling through. In A+X she explains she used to hold her breath or she thought she had to but after the initial shock wore off, she can now phase through solid objects while breathing and talking. She can also render other people and objects intangible by touching them. When phasing through extremely dense materials, such as adamantium, Kitty experiences pain and disorientation as well as those with dense metals in their bodies ( Wolverine, X-23, etc.) should she phase through them. For some unknown reason, when Kitty phased through Garokk, it caused him intense pain. The reason for this is unclear. Kitty is capable of phasing any amount of her body through objects as well as humans leaving them unconscious.

Kitty can disrupt electronic devices by passing through them in this manner without harm to herself. When she uses this ability in the opposite direction she can levitate herself by walking on air, as if she were walking up a flight of stairs. In her intangible state she is weak against certain energies, psionic and mystical attacks. While in phase form Kitty has demonstrated a remarkable resistance to psychic probing and psionic attacks, but she can be hurt by the Soul Sword and remains vulnerable to magic-based attacks.

WEAKNESSES:

Kitty sufferd mental torture under the hands of Ogun and never really got over it, she considers him her greatest foe.
She is susceptible to all magical attack and telepathic assaults. Kitty would die for her friends and they are her greatest weakness.
Kitty feels guilty for the death of her farther and thinks she could have saved him If she hadn't been so proud when they fell out.   

PERSONALITY:

A trained dancer and gymnast.
Has a passion for the theatre and music festivals, loves to travel.
She wears her Jewish Star under her uniform.
Kitty never really stopped loving her first boyfriend Piotr Rasputin.
She sees Logan and Ororo as surrogate "parents".
Kitty is also close with Cyclops, Nightcralwer, Rachel Grey, Illyana Rasputin, Captain Britain and Megan. 

EQUIPMENT:

Kitty dosent really carry around weapons but she is trained in all types of weaponry.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Ogun, Magneto, Nimrod, and others.

Considering the following;

Gambit or Legion (I really got to love the character in his more recent run in X-Men:Legacy for Marvel Now).

Possibly Longshot. I know we briefly talked about Spidey too, though I guess you're centring on the mutants, thats cool.

[Acula]

Hi there! I'd like to reserve Rogue if possible? ^^

[kckolbe]

Seeing a few fun folk in this thread.  It's been a while since I've played Banshee.  How much leeway do we have with our characters?  Thinking of Ewan MacGregor for the faceclaim and dropping the accent, with a bit more history in the US as opposed to the UK.

[Caradoc]

I would potentially be interested in Gambit, Warpath, or Quicksilver.

I still have not managed to make images work on here if that's a deciding factor. I'm a lot more a writer than a graphics guy I guess.

I look forward to hearing back.

[wander]

lois, I've replied to your PM about Longshot and Legion, my face-claims I've shown are more a starting point, you're pretty good at suggesting people so I'm open to see if you can think of people better suited.

Being a '90s game... My pics for those two are pretty... '90s...  ::)

[VoluptuousVixen]

To Wander, Yeah Longshot and Legion are both fine.

To Miyaluca feel free to put up a bio for Rogue.

Banshee is fine kckolbe

And Caradoc, Gambit is reserved for another player but feel free to drum up a bio for Warpath or Quicksilver.

CHARACTER NAME: Banshee

REAL NAME: Sean Cassidy
AGE: 41
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'0"
WEIGHT: 175
AFFILIATION: X-Men
FACE CLAIM: Ewan MacGregor
APPEARANCE: Banshee is possessed of a light build, being one of the weaker X-Men in terms of upper body strength.  His hair is noticeably starting to gray, something he's resigned himself to.
POWERS/ABILITIES: Superhuman hearing, Sonic screams, Flight, Concussive blasts, Sonic energy lances, Ability to cause nausea, disorientation, or unconsciousness, Immune to powers of known family members
WEAKNESSES: His powers are tied into vocal chords, meaning that they are subject to fatigue and he loses the ability to maintain frequency when strained.  He is also not immune to his own powers if he pushes them beyond his normal limits.
HISTORY: After growing up in Ireland, Sean moved to New York when Black Tom inherited Cassidy Keep.  He started working for INTERPOL, quitting after a few years due to a failed mission (botched by Deadpool).  While doing freelance detective work, he stumbled across Factor Three.  They found a way to mind control him, leading to his first fight as a mutant, that fight against the original X-Men team. 

For the next couple of years he continued in New York, living a somewhat normal life, his abilities aiding him greatly as a detective.  When the original X-Men team became captured, Banshee was one of several enlisted to help save them. 

Over the remaining years, Banshee lived a mainly normal life, interrupted by occasional stints as an X-Man or helping the team as he could, at times limited by temporary losses of power due to over stress.

PERSONALITY: Banshee is something of an outsider among the X-Men.  Though only Cyclops and Jean Grey joined before him, his off and on status along with being a decade older than the original class always set him rather apart, and he never felt really close to them.  He did feel a semi-kinship with Wolverine, both of them being experienced combatants and older than their students, having joined at the same time, and neither being full-time members, though Wolverine seemed to eventually find his place among the team.  Banshee often keeps to himself, playing on the piano, reading, working out, or listening to music while he works Sudoku puzzles.  He is a generous friend, dependable in any situation, and an excellent listener, though he can be a bit awkward at times.

EQUIPMENT: Banshee always carries a simple sidearm on him, and occasionally a handful of assorted grenades.
KNOWN ENEMIES: Black Tom

[TamaRose]

Can I claim Rogue as a canon and then I will also make up a character as well.

[Juggtacular]

CHARACTER NAME: Gambit
REAL NAME: Remy Etienne LeBeau
AGE: 26
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'2
WEIGHT: 189lbs
AFFILIATION: X-Men, Thieves Guild, Marauders
FACE CLAIM: Channing Tatum
APPEARANCE:

Gambit is about 6'2, 190lbs. He works out all the time so you can see how muscled he is; he's more of a racer than bodybuilder when it comes to body type. He's incredibly handsome and has wooed women just by looking at them before. He has an almost always present scruff on his face, like a 5 o'clock shadow that won't go away; it works for his charm though. His eyes are unique, in that his sclera(white part of the eye) is black, while his irises are a vibrant, glowing red. He's had that mutation since he was born, and it was the reason he was abandoned as an infant.


POWERS/ABILITIES:

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. He can charge a rock as big as a small house in the matter of seconds. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. Gambit can also use his powers to accelerate an object's kinetic energy instead of converting its potential energy, for example, he can charge his bo staff with enough power to level a house.

Enhanced Agility - Gambit's ability to tap energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity which gives him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style. Gambit is so fast he can easily block automatic gunfire with his staff and has avoided being hit by a room full of lasers all pointed at him.

Static Interference - Creates natural mental 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.

Hypnotic Charm - Subliminal psionic talent channeled through his voice that allows a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit's charm, and people who are consciously aware of what he's doing can shake off the effects.

SKILLS:

Master Thief - Gambit was groomed to take over the Thieve's Guild back in Louisiana since he was taken in as a newborn. He was literally raised around thieves and criminals. His training was intensive and due to years and years of it, Gambit is one of the best thieves in the world, even  without his powers. He can sneak into practically anywhere, bypass or disable any type of security system, etc... Simply put, if Gambit can't find it, steal it, or break into somewhere...it can't be done.

Martial Arts Expert - His training also included combat, and Gambit has mastered the French form of Savate(French Kickboxing) as well as Bojutsu(using a staff in combat). He knows many more styles, but those two are his true area of expertise, and his powers make him even more formidable in a fight.

Expert Marksman - As evidenced by his choice of projectile(throwing cards), Gambit is a master at hitting his target, whether it's with a gun or cards or knives. If it can be used as a projectile, chances are he's good at using it.

Multilingual - Gambit is fluent in both English, and Cajun French. He speaks, reads, and writes several other languages as well.



WEAKNESSES: Due to the extreme potential of his powers, for a time Gambit couldn't control them. So he had Sinister remove a portion of his brain. Because of this his powers are weakened and he can't charge anything without physical contact. Despite his powers, he's not much more durable than a normal person, so pretty much anything that can kill a normal person can kill him as well.

HISTORY: Remy LeBeau is a mutant who was trained to be the leader of the Thieves Guild. Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery.

Later, when he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves’ Guild and their rivals, the Assassin’s Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassins Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Remy killed Julien in self-defense, but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans in an attempt to maintain the non-aggression pact between the two guilds.

Remy wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon. At one point Remy had approached the master geneticist Mr. Sinister for help in controlling his powers. Sinister removed some of Remy's brain tissue to reduce his power levels, thus affording him a greater degree of control.

As a result, Remy was now in the geneticist's debt, and Sinister subsequently charged the thief with assembling the team of assassins called the Marauders. Remy did not realize that Sinister would employ the Marauders to massacre the underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. Seeing the horrific results of his actions, Remy attempted to stop the massacre but was almost killed by the Marauder named Sabretooth. However, he did manage to save one young Morlock girl who would one day grow up to become the X-Man named Marrow.

Eventually, Remy encountered Storm, a member of the outlaw team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. Storm had been transformed into an amnesiac child who had turned to theft as a means to survive. Remy helped her escape her enemy, the malevolent psionic entity known as the Shadow King, and they became partners. Later, when the X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of traveling in outer space, Storm sponsored Remy's admission into the X-Men.

Remy soon fell in love with his fellow X-Man, Rogue, blessed and cursed with the ability to absorb other mutants' thoughts and abilities through skin-on-skin contact. The feeling was mutual, but the two soulmates were condemned never to touch.

Despite his loyalty to the X-Men, Gambit still spends lots of time with the Thieve's Guild as it's second in-command and interim leader when Gambit's adopted father Jean-Luc is unable to give orders for whatever reason.

PERSONALITY:

Gambit is an incurable flirt and will hit on practically anyone provided they are 1) female, and b) attractive. Meet those two requirements and chances are at some point the Cajun will try and chat you up. Due to being trained by the Thieve's Guild, Gambit is a somewhat secretive individual.

He plays his cards close to his chest almost always, and it's rare that anyone, even Rogue knows exactly what it is he wants or what his motivations are. Despite that behavior, he is loyal to a fault, and will follow his friends into the depths of Hell even if it's not expected of him.

He's cocky and confident almost to the point of arrogance it seems, and while he truly does believe in how amazing he is. However a good thief knows when to cut and run. He has no problem leaving a battle because it can't be won, and he'll argue with the others to get them to realize the same thing.

EQUIPMENT:

Bo Staff - Gambit's prized possession is a collapsible bo staff made of an unknown metal that is not only durable enough to take all the punishment in the line of duty, but to get charged with Gambit's energy and survive the explosion.

Playing Cards - Gambit has a seemingly endless supply of playing cards that are used as his primary weapons.

Armor - Gambit's uniform is armored in several places, so he can take a bit more of a beating than normal.

Tool Kit - No master thief is ever without his tool kit, which holds all that he'd need to break into a place at any given time. His is usually kept in his trench coat.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Belladonna Boudreax(sometimes), Assassin's Guild, Mr. Sinister, Marauders, etc...

His senses, particularly sight, hearing, and scent, are sharper than human, although not as acute as Wolverine or Daredevil. He can run at up to 90 miles per hour. He is very hard to hurt, but when it happens, he heals abnormally fast, although not as rapidly as Wolverine.
   Warpath is a skilled hand to hand combatant and knife fighter. Warpath was also trained on the staff by Shatterstar. He is an adept tracker, hunter, and outdoorsman. He speaks English, Apache, and some Spanish.

WEAKNESSES: Warpath’s enhanced senses make him somewhat more susceptible to things like flashbangs. He can be proud, stubborn and vengeful.

HISTORY: James Proudstar grew up at Camp Verde, Arizona, on the Apache reservation. He idolized his older brother, John, pestering him to take him hunting and teach him traditional Apache ceremonies. James was surprised when his brother was recruited by Professor Xavier into the X-Men. James had barely started to get used to the idea of his brother being gone when he received news that John, as the X-Man Thunderbird, had died on a mission.
   James was devastated, and blamed Xavier. His rage and grief made him easy to manipulate, and he was recruited by Emma Frost into her Hellions, taking his brother’s codename, Thunderbird. James was fueled by a desire for revenge against Xavier and the X-Men. Eventually, James came to accept his brother’s death, to question Emma Frost’s motives, and finally left the Hellions to join the New Mutants as Warpath. Shortly after he joined the team became known as X-Force.
   Tragedy continued to follow him. James returned home for a visit to find his family had been slaughtered. He blamed the Hellions initially, but Emma Frost eventually convinced him of her, and their, innocence. The murder of his family remains unresolved.

PERSONALITY: Warpath can be stubborn and vengeful. Despite this, he is loyal to his friends, family, team, and tribe. He is a warrior who fights for his friends and protects the innocent.

EQUIPMENT: Warpath has been known to carry two large bowie knives made of vibranium, and occasionally employs a staff. 

KNOWN ENEMIES: Count Nefaria (killed his brother), Sentinels (hunting all mutants)

CHARACTER NAME: Domino
REAL NAME: Neena Thurman
AGE: 32
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 5’8”
WEIGHT: 120 lbs.
AFFILIATION: X-force
FACE CLAIM: Charlize Theron
APPEARANCE: As a result of her mutation, Domino has chalk white skin. She also has a tattoo around her left eye from her days in a Mutant Breeding Program.



POWERS/ABILITIES:
1.   Domino is a mutant with the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." D

2.   Due to her time in the super solider program she is also a very skilled in hand to hand combat as well as proficient with various weapons including guns and knives.


WEAKNESSES:
She can’t consciously control her power as it only takes effect if she is in a stressful situation (such as running or fighting) and it only affects her.
She is terrified of chickens.
Her thrill seeking ways often cause her to put others at risk of injury or harm

HISTORY:    
Domino was the result of a top-secret government breeding program known as Project: Armageddon, which was made specifically to create the perfect weapon and genetically engineer fighting soldiers. Out of the test subjects, Domino was the only survivor but her powers of 'good luck' was deemed a failure in the case of meeting the project's goals.

She was freed from the project by her biological mother who left Domino with Father Rudolpho Boschelli, leader of the cult called the Church of the Sacred Heart which was based in Chicago. Domino lived within this cult until she turned thirteen and escaped. She decided to become a freelance mercenary and worked with various government agencies.

While working for the NSA, Domino was tasked to guard the genius, Dr. Milo Thurman, whose analytical ability made him too dangerous for the government to set free. While guarding him, Domino and Dr. Thurman somehow fell in love with each other, even going so far as getting married, apparently officially. When A.I.M soldiers raided the facility, Milo and Domino separated, with Milo believing that Domino was killed during the raid.

PERSONALITY: Domino is brash, headstrong and very tough. She is a no nonsense mercenary and fighter as well as an experienced thief and killer. She hates it when somebody wastes her time and doesn’t admit to weakness. Domino is also a thrill and adventure junkie she receives a huge rush out of taking risks and will often launch herself into dangerous maneuvers trusting her power to keep her from harm.

EQUIPMENT: Various weapons including but not limited to knives and guns.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Agent Briggs, Arcade, Bantam, Baron von Strucker, Barrage, Bastien, Bella Donna, Black Mamba, Chimera, Copycat and Deadpool.

Can I have Psylocke and Feral?

[wander]

An X-men Game set during the 1990s era of the comics. Inspired by the resale of the new X-men 92 comic. Just to be clear, this game is set before the AGE OF APOCALYPSE, ONSLAUGHT, SEARCH FOR XAVIER, E IS FOR EXTINCTION, HERE COMES TOMMROW, HOUSE OF M, MESSIAH COMLEX, MESSIAH WAR and all the story's that followed it.

As far as the X-men are concerned the legacy virus hasn't been infected into the mutant population and their oldest enemy Magneto was killed during their last battle on Asteroid M. X-force are out fighting for Xavier's dream in a more violent style, The Hellfire Club has disbanded after the deaths of the Hellions, X-factor is working for the government and Genoshia is a mutant graveyard.

I was looking through my X-books earlier... I can see you're going for an alternate universe with the removal of the Legacy Virus. I can see canon isn't a thing, but I wanted to quickly say Genosha's fall and E for Extinction is a 2001 storyline for New X-Men after all (it's a great story, either way). :)

I was looking through Generation X and thought of the potential they had... They do fit in with your timeline with the Hellions being passed on, if you wanted that extra option of characters.

Just a thought. :)

[Acula]

I'm finishing up my character sheet and will have it up sometime today. ^^

[Cassandra LeMay]

Question: With characters from several teams in the same game, how much room will there actually be for all these characters to interact?

I realize that going into details may reveal some parts of whatever plot is planned, but perhaps you could give us some general idea at least?

[Sirian Eve]

Hmmm...I think I'll take on Psylocke.

Oops! just seen Tama's post :)

So! I'll go with Polaris if none has claimed her.

Y'know Excalibur were still kicking around if the Government X-Factor are about in this timeline too, so that's another team right there. I'd have gone with Nightcrawler of Excalibur also if they were a team.

EDIT = I somehow didn't see Excalibur up there, good to see they're about! xD

[VoluptuousVixen]

Basically the game will run on a week by week basis, meaning each post will have a time stamp so we know when which characters interacte when. As for the storyline, lets just say the game takes place loosely after the events of  "X-Cutioners SOng" which was a storyline which saw the Xmen, X force and X factor team up against Apocalypse and Stryfe.

With some members recuperating at the mansion and Cable deciding maybe it is best to follow Xaviers lead from now on. That X force carnt just go out and do what they ant with the consequences be dammed, the story opens the week after with the school rather full, but some brutal attacks on mutants ill cause the  X family to return home but not everyone will stay.   

[Cassandra LeMay]

I am thinking about taking either Captain Britain or Rachel Summers, but I'll sleep on it and PM some questions in the morning.

[TamaRose]

Hmmm...I think I'll take on Psylocke.

Oops! just seen Tama's post :)

So! I'll go with Polaris if none has claimed her.

If you want Psylocke you can have her. I am okay with it. I can still do Feral and possibly Jubilee if I am allowed.

[kckolbe]

Just watched some clips from the old X-Men cartoon, and I'd love to see someone play Jubilee well.  Nice to see this thread getting some good activity and people working together, by the way.  Can't wait until we are working out relationships.

[Sirian Eve]

If you want Psylocke you can have her. I am okay with it. I can still do Feral and possibly Jubilee if I am allowed.

Awww Thank you. :)

Okay I'll take Psylocke then.

[Sasquatch421]

CHARACTER NAME: Rogue
REAL NAME: Anna Marie
AGE: 21
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 5’ 8”
WEIGHT: 120lb
AFFILIATION: X-Men
FACE CLAIM: Christina Perri
APPEARANCE:



POWERS/ABILITIES: Rogue has the ability to touch and absorb any mutant powers temporarily, but she also absorbs a fractured bit of the mutants memories and personality in the process. If she does this for too long, she can kill the person. Retaining Ms. Marvel’s powers during one of these transfers gone wrong, Rogue can also fly and possesses super human strength.
WEAKNESSES: Cannot touch others without draining them when she is not focused; the trapped psyche in her mind.
HISTORY: Raised in Mississippi, after kissing a body named Cody and putting him into a coma thanks to her powers that manifested suddenly, she was devastated and her ‘normal’ life ended. During this dark period, the girl was approached by Mystique. Mystique convinced the girl to come with her, and became her foster mother.

During this period Mystique manipulated the girl and convinced her to work with her in terrorist activities, one of which went terribly wrong when Rogue absorbed a mutant, Ms. Marvel, permanently. Now in addition to her draining ability, she now had Ms. Marvels, which consisted of the power of flight and superhuman strength. Ms. Marvels remains in a coma to this day, a piece of her psyche trapped within Rogue.

After an encounter with Rom, a noble Spaceknight, Rogue began to have doubts about herself. Eventually this, along with the fractured psyches trapped in her mind, lead her to Professor X in desperation. In response, Professor X welcomed Rogue to the X-men, against her new teammates protests. Eventually however, she proved she had changed for the better and the team accepted her as one of their own.

Ms. Marvel’s psyche again plagues Rogue when she ends up in the Savage Land and is nearly killed by the vengeful woman, only to be saved by Magneto. The alliance is short lived as Magneto kills against Rogue’s wishes and they go their separate ways.

Now Rogue works with the X-men in an attempt to protect mutants while gaining control over her powers. Professor X has managed to train Rogue how to control her power of absorption, but only for short periods of time. He hopes with time Rogue will not only be able to control her powers, but banish the trapped psyches that threaten to drive the mutant mad.

PERSONALITY: Confident and strong-willed, Rogue is friendly and outgoing. Most of the time she’s down for anything; seeking out fun and adventure wherever she can find it. At times though, she can be withdrawn and will turn inward, avoiding others. This is rare however, and most times you can find Rogue with a cheeky smile on her face.
EQUIPMENT: Rogue rarely worries about keeping anything on her, as her greatest weapon is her fists.
KNOWN ENEMIES: Complicated relationship with Mystique, Magneto, and Others

[Caradoc]

Also, as a general note, I'm willing to take on more roles if additional characters are needed, I just didn't want to seem greedy right off the bat.

[Lady Onyx]

I was about to say the same thing, if we need more males I can make another profile. I just can't promise said male will be 100 percent heterosexual. -laughs- It's hard for me to play a male characters that prefer females.

[Sasquatch421]

Good other then for being a little stressed. How are you? It's good to see you again. Who are you playing this time?

Also, don't get to exciuted about Jubes. It will be the first time playing her. :-[

Not to bad... Finally done with college and I don't plan on going back. Two degrees in three years is enough! Now I'm in that job hunting phase while getting things done around the farm. Plus need to think up a name as we have another new colt running around.

Lois thinks I might make a good Warren, so I'm going to do an Arch Angel profile.... Unless I can find that other one I did, then it's just copy and paste! Not sure for any other characters yet... Do have a wild hair to try out Boomer....

[Caradoc]

I was about to say the same thing, if we need more males I can make another profile. I just can't promise said male will be 100 percent heterosexual. -laughs- It's hard for me to play a male characters that prefer females.

Maybe we should split them, you take the females and I take the males, if any extras are needed? ;)

[Lady Onyx]

Maybe we should split them, you take the females and I take the males, if any extras are needed? ;)

I can do that as well and it would probably be a bit easier on me. I can write up the profile for a couple of extra females should they be needed.

[TamaRose]

Instead of Feral, I could do a male if you need one. I wouldn't mind trying out Havoc.

[kckolbe]

Right now we are fairly balanced, and in my experience, group games tend to do better with slightly more female chars.  That's just my two cents.

[Juggtacular]

Well I'm making 2 more guys. Juggernaut & Bishop. Just a heads up.

[Lady Onyx]

I wasn't complaining at all, just offering. I've been in groups myself where the gap between male and female was four or five more females than males. What ends up happening is there are multiple female characters seeking attention from the same male character and the behind the scenes drama is ridiculous. Those could've been bad groups though. Either way this is going to be a great roleplay because we have some fantastic writers joining up. I'm excited  :-)

[kckolbe]

I've seen both extremes, Onyx, and both suck.  A 3:2 f:m ratio seems to work out best, accounting for the higher likelihood of bisexual female characters.  Of course, the early X-Men were very heavily male, so I'm okay with there being slightly more males than females.

CHARACTER NAME: TamaRose

REAL NAME: Jubilation Lee (Jubilee)

AGE: 16

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight

HEIGHT: 5' 5"

WEIGHT: 155

HAIR: Black

EYES: Brown

AFFILIATION: X-Men

FACE CLAIM: Kea Wong

APPEARANCE:





POWERS:

Energy Plasmoids/Lumikinetic Explosive Light Blasting: Jubilee possessed the mutant ability to generate what she calls her "fireworks" or "Lumikinetic Explosive Light Blasts" energy globules that varied in degrees of power and intensity. The globules obeyed her mental control, traveling where she directed them, arranging themselves in balls, streamers, and other shapes, and exploding when she wished. These combinations could result in anything from a multitude of colorful sparkles capable of temporarily blinding a person to a fairly powerful detonation, capable of smashing tree trunks or metal objects. Jubilee could absorb the fireworks back into her own body without harm. According to Emma Frost, she had the potential to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level.

Psionic Shields: Jubilee's mind possessed a natural defense against telepathic detection or attack. These psionic shields rendered her mind "slippery" and invisible to telepathic beings unless they knew precisely what to mentally scan for.

Abilities: Jubilee is also skilled in gymnastics and had qualified for the Olympic Games before her parents were murdered. She is also a good hand to hand combatant, having received some training from Wolverine. She also seems to have the makings of a good leader.

WEAKNESSES: There is always the chance of losing control but there is a very good chance of blowing something up if she isn't always in control.

HISTORY: The daughter of two prosperous Chinese immigrants, Jubilation "Jubilee" Lee, was born and raised in Beverly Hills, California and lived a charmed life. Jubilee attended an exclusive Beverly Hills school and was believed to have the gymnastic potential to participate in the Olympic Games. However, all in one fateful weekend, her parents lost their money in the stock market and were then mistaken for their neighbors (also named the Lees) and killed by two hit-men, while Jubilee was out with a friend of the family.

Jubilee was then sent to an orphanage, but ran away and hid in a Hollywood shopping mall, stealing food to survive. Jubilee first discovered her mutant power, to generate blinding and explosive energy "fireworks", while running away from mall security. The stress of running away from the security guards caused Jubilee to emit a large light energy blast while in a back alley. This completely disoriented the men and allowed the frightened young girl to escape. Upon learning about her mutant ability to create fireworks, Jubilee realized she could earn money by using her powers to entertain customers and visitors in the mall.

Frustrated with the young girl's rebellious nature and powerful light-shows, the mall security hired mutant hunters, known as the M-Squad, to capture her. Jubilee held her own by blasting the M-Squad's energy tractor beams, but she was eventually caught. Lucky for her, Jubilee was rescued by the X-Men Dazzler, Psylocke, Rogue and Storm, who happened to be shopping at the mall. Curious about these strange women, she followed them for a while and later jumped into a portal after them.

Australian Base

On the other side of the portal, Jubilee found herself at the X-Men's temporary base in the Australian outback. Jubilee stayed hidden and, while living in the underground base, the mutant known as Gateway was the only person aware of Jubilee's existence. During her stay in the base, Jubilee stowed away in Dazzler's quarters and found an immediate kinship, in the extent of Alison Blaire's wardrobe. Jubilee stole food and borrowed clothes from several of the X-Men to create a makeshift costume for herself. Jubilee was present when Nanny and Orphan-Maker ambushed the X-Men at their base, but simply hid while the battle ensued. Once while the X-Men were out, Jubilee was harassed and hounded by a Reaver guard dog that was left at the base. Jubilee stayed in hiding until the X-Men had abandoned the base, and their enemies the Reavers had captured Wolverine and taken over the base.

While sneaking around the caverns in the outback base, Jubilee was startled to find Wolverine hung up on a cross and near death. Jubilee helped Wolverine get down from the cross, and nurtured him back to health. Afterward, she teamed with Wolverine on several of his missions throughout the world. During this time she held her own against The Hand and blew up a section of the Mandarin's castle with her powers while being held prisoner there with Wolverine and Psylocke.

Jubilee and Wolverine grew a close father-daughter relationship with one another. Jubilee needed the guidance of a parent, while Wolverine needed the peace and joy of a child. Due to this relationship, Jubilee was referred to as Wolverine's unofficial sidekick. The duo teamed up to fight Sentinels, Omega Red, Sabretooth, Sauron, and even seek revenge on Reno and Molokai for the murder of her parents.

X-Men

After hearing of mutants being attacked on the island nation of Genosha, the trio make their way there. They meet Boom Boom and Rictor, who had lost their powers. Leaving Jubilee to guard the depowered mutants, Wolverine and Psylocke attempt to invade the Genoshan Magistrate headquarters, but are captured. The three young mutants escape capture, and help the other X-Men defeat Cameron Hodge. Upon returning to the United States, Jubilee joins Storm, Wolverine, Forge, Psylocke, Banshee and Gambit as a member of the X-Men. Although she accompanies them on many of their missions, they remain wary of placing her in harm's way because of her young age. When Wolverine is kidnapped by The Hand, Jubilee argues that she should be allowed to help (as she had previously fought and defeated The Hand), and finds an unlikely ally in Psylocke. After run-ins with the Skrulls, the Brood, Omega Red and Mojo, Jubilee is finally made to stay at the mansion by the X-Men, and is not permitted on missions anymore due to her age.

When Professor X is almost killed by a villain named Stryfe, who appears to be Cable, the X-Men are quick to suspect Cable of the deed. It is Jubilee who persuades the X-Men that he may not be the culprit, as no one knows what Stryfe really looks like, and he could therefore be disguised as Cable. Once Professor X is cured he regains the use of his legs for a short time, and Jubilee takes him roller-blading to cheer him up. After spending some time bonding with him she realizes that he isn't the stuffy old man she took him for, and they grow closer. After his legs begin to weaken, Jubilee helps him back into his wheelchair, realizing that just being there to help means more to him than anything she could say. Some time later Jubilee accompanies Wolverine to their old base in Australia. Their arrival sets off a dormant Sentinel, whose attack interacts with Gateways portal and sends Jubilee back in time to her parents' house just before they were killed. Certain she could save them from dying in the car crash, she is convincing them not to go when the doorbell rings. At the door stand two armed hit men, Reno and Molokai, who take her parents away at gunpoint. Learning for the first time that that their car accident had been faked, and that they had in fact been murdered, Jubilee swears revenge. Upon returning to the present she tracks the two hit men down, with Logan backing her up the entire time. But once she has her parents' killers at her mercy, she finds that she just can't bring herself to kill them, a revelation that pleases Logan.

Back at the mansion, Jubilee becomes close friends with Ilyana and whilst Jubilee becomes jealous of Kitty's arrival due to her being Logan's first sidekick, the pair soon form a friendship. Jubilee can usually be found by Logan's side, even to this day and the pair go on adventures together still.

PERSONALITY: Sassy, Fiery, Feisty, Smartass.

Jubilee:"Who died?"

Wolverine: "YOU did, ya little pain in my ass! Scared the life half outta me"

Jubilee: "Really? Cool."

Wolverine: *pause*

Jubilee: "Dude, ever heard of the words, 'mouth-wash?" 

EQUIPMENT: None

KNOWN ENEMIES: The Brotherhood

Thank you. I hope I do well, playing her.

[Cassandra LeMay]

Tama, aren't the last two paragraphs of Jubilee's bio the (possible) future of the game setting? LLK said the legacy virus hasn't infected anyone yet (as far as the X-Men know), so Illyana would still be alive at this point in the timeline. Magneto removing Wolverine's adamantium skeleton should also happen several weeks, perhaps months, after X-cutioners Song (which seems to be the current time in-game).

As for the male-to-female character ratio, personaly I'm not worried. But if it becomes a problem we could consider throwing one or two non-mutant NPCs into the mix as love interests. Might be better than having a large army of heroes around just for the sake of a balanced gender mix.

Well, it seems like this an alternate version of the 90s...

There's no Generation X and Genosha has already fallen, though this time it seems to be from what happened in Bloodties, which should be after X-cutioner's Song.

I'd place current events at late 1993 possibly early 1994, though we've yet to hear any news on the Child's Play event involving X-Force. Seems if there is no Generation X that the Phalanx Covenant hasn't happened yet. But then if the Legacy Virus is not around, we can call this an alternate timeline, so other things may not match up right.

[Cassandra LeMay]

Well, it seems like this an alternate version of the 90s...
...
I'd place current events at late 1993 possibly early 1994,...

Yes, well, placing the "point of divergence" precisely is, most likely, quite impossible. 


That aside, I'd still say that leaving out some bits and pieces from Jube's bio could be the easiest way to avoid potential conflicts with the biographies of Colossus and Wolverine. If I played Wolverine I might be a tad surprised to read somewhere that I no longer had an adamantium skeleton.  ;)

Edit: Guess I should apologize if I come across as trying to force a rewrite of Jubilee's bio. When I get really interested in something new (like a roleplay) my mind and muse sometimes kick into overdrive and are suddenly all over the place and I spurt out a lot of random thoughts about setting, characters, scenarios, and whatnot. I guess it can be annoying and make me look pushy and domineering, but that's really not my intention. Sometimes I just can't help myself when I get excited (and you bet I am about this setting). Just give me a day or two, to calm my overflowing mind, please.

[Chaeronea]

I wouldn't mind being a gay Havoc! Just putting that out there!  ;D

Please, no! Alex gets kicked around enough in the comics! Have you no sympathy for the poor guy???  (Besides, I always thought Havok and Val Cooper made a cute couple...)

Seriously, I wouldn't mind playing Havok, although there doesn't seem to be any interest in the other members of X-Factor so I'm not sure if the GMs would run an X-Factor thread if there was only one character. Maybe he ends up folded in with one of the other X-teams?

Alternatively I wouldn't mind playing Cannonball in a 90's X-Men RPG. Gambit is already taken (dammit) but I like the idea of playing a character who is trying to hold onto a life outside the various X-teams, and both Alex and Sam seem to fit the bill just fine.

[Cassandra LeMay]

I had seriously considered playing Polaris, but discovered that I am too much of an Excalibur fan to not play Rachel Summers.

But if you really want to play Havok you might as well do it, with or without other X-Factor characters around. If you don't claim him now and someone else does so later you might regret not claiming him while you had the chance.

And hey, Rachel wold have an uncle.  :-) That could be interesting, only I have noooo idea if Alex even knows that Rachel is an alternate-timeline daughter of Jean and Scott. Her teammates in Excalibur know for certain, Scott and Jean do, as does Professor X. But everyone else ... haven't got a clue, to be honest.

CHARACTER NAME: Archangel formerly Dark Angel, Death, Avenging Angel
REAL NAME: Warren Kenneth Worthington III
AGE: 26
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'0"
WEIGHT: 150lbs
AFFILIATION: X-Men formerly X-Club (founding member); Death's champions; Secret Defenders; X-Factor/X-Terminators (founding member); Horsemen of Apocalypse; Defenders; Champions of Los Angeles (founding member)
PLAYED BY: Sasquatch421
FACECLAIM: Justin Heartly

APPEARANCE:
   

POWERS/ABILITIES:
    Wings: Angel possessed the superhuman ability to fly by means of his natural wings, which spanned sixteen feet from wingtip to wingtip. He later lost his wings, due to infection and amputation, but has regrown identical techno-organic wings. Fully feathered like a bird's, the wings have a very flexible skeletal structure, enabling him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing. Angel flies by flapping his wings, as a bird does.

    Aerial Adaptation: Angel's entire anatomy is naturally adapted to flying. His bones are hollow like a birds, making him weigh far less than usual for a man of his build. His body is virtually devoid of fat and possesses greater proportionate muscle mass than an ordinary human does. His eyes are specially adapted to withstand high-speed winds which would hurt the average human eye. He possesses a special membrane in his respiratory system enabling him to extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes.

    Peak Human Strength: Due to his body's natural mutation, the Angel possesses greater physical strength than an ordinary human equal to him in body weight and can lift about 500 lbs.

    Superhuman Stamina: The Angel's musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. His physical stamina while in flight is considerably greater. The Angel can fly non-stop under his own power for a maximum of approximately twelve hours. Contrary to some reports, he couldn't make a transatlantic flight solely on his own power. During his one attempt to do so, he hitched a ride on an airplane for part of the way.

    Superhuman Durability: The tissues of Angel's body are somewhat harder and more durable than that of an ordinary human, though he is far from invulnerable. While he can be injured in ways comparable to an ordinary human, his body is structured to withstand the friction caused by flying at high speeds. He can also withstand impact forces that would severely injure or kill an ordinary human with only mild to moderate discomfort.

    Regenerative Healing Factor: The Angel possesses an accelerated healing factor that enables him to repair damaged tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. He can completely recover from non-fatal injuries such as slash and punctures within a matter of hours and injuries as severe as broken bones within a few days. This ability extends to being transferred by blood, thus he can heal others who come into contact with his blood, provided they have the same blood type. It is possible that his healing factor also protects him from diseases because he once had affair with a girl with HIV and he didn't contract it even though HIV is highly contagious.

    Flight: The Angel's normal cruising speed averages around 70 miles per hour (112 kph), though he is capable of diving swoops that reach up to 180 miles per hour (290 kph). He can fly at 150 miles per hour (240 kph) without the help of a tail wind for up to half an hour at a time before tiring to an appreciable degree. Though he generally flies beneath the height of the clouds ([6,500 feet)(1981 meters)he can reach a height of 10,000 feet (3000 meters)with little effort. With severe strain he can attain the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight (African geese at 29,000 feet (8840 meters) above sea level), but he could only remain that high for several minutes.

    Techno-Organic Wings: Angel was given techno-organic wings by Apocalypse as part of his conversion to the Horseman Death. Those wings enabled him to fly approximately at Mach 1 as well as being razor-sharp and able to shield his body by covering up. Its flechettes can be thrown as weapons, some of which are covered in a neurological agent that can stun a foe.

HISTORY:

X-Men

Warren Kenneth Worthington III is the mutant son of the wealthy Warren K Worthington Jr and his wife Kathryn, neither of whom were aware that their son had developed a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back, enabling him to fly. Warren, first, began his superhero career after a fire broke out in his dorm at Phillips Academy, in Exeter, New Hampshire, as the Avenging Angel. Warren was recruited, by Professor X, and became the third founding member of the X-Men, along with Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, and Marvel Girl, and enrolled in the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. In the School for Gifted Youngsters, the X-Men were tutored, by Professor X, and trained in the use of their powers, in the Danger Room. During his time in class, Warren was a carefree student, often flying-off during Prof. Xavier's lessons. Though Warren was initially attracted to Marvel Girl, he dated Candy Southern during this time. During his time with the X-Men, Warren faced Magneto, the Vanisher, the Blob, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Namor, Unus, and Lucifer. After being controlled, by the Puppet Master, Professor X ordered the X-Men to battle the Fantastic Four, until Beast destroyed his doll and the two teams battled the Awesome Android, who Professor X defeated from afar. They journeyed to the Savage Land and later battled the Juggernaut. Around this time, while the X-Men were battling the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants at Hammer Industries, Magneto and his troops withdrew from battle, after the arrival of a Sentinel. Back at the X-Mansion, the X-Men were approached, by the Evolutionaries, who informed them they were there to ensure the survival of Homo Superior. After a brief battle with the young X-Men, the Evolutionaries sought the help of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, viewing Magneto as the leader of all mutantkind. After the Brotherhood kidnapped Emma Frost, Magneto took her to Xavier's School, to use Cerebro. Beast created a device, that shut-off their access to cosmic rays and accidentally killed two of them. When Cyclops vowed to protect mutantkind, the remaining Evolutionary reluctantly left, but not before erasing the memory of their presence from the minds of the X-Men and Brotherhood and vowing to return one day. The X-Men went-on to battle Dr. Bolivar Trask's Sentinels, Mimic, Count Nefaria, the Locust, El Tigre, Puppet Master, the Factor Three, the Super-Adaptoid, The Warlock, Cobalt Man, Mole Man and Tyrannus, Mekano, Mutant Master, and Grotesk.

When the Changeling, posing as Prof. Xavier, was killed by Grotesk, the X-Men, again, battled Magneto, where Warren escaped and was attacked by Red Raven, with the Avengers, and when they returned home, were ordered to disband by Fred Duncan of the FBI. Returning to live with his parents, Warren continued to sneak out at night and secretly satisfy his need to fight crime and see Candy. When dozens of latent mutants were summoned to San Francisco by Mesmero and, what seemed to be, Magneto (actually a robot duplicate), Warren reunited the X-Men briefly. The X-Men were able to destroy the organization from both outside and within. They, then, went on to battle Blastaar, The Living Pharaoh, and Larry Trask and his Sentinels, Sauron, then, returned to the Savage Land and battled Magneto and his Savage Land Mutates (where Warren briefly died and was revived by Magneto), briefly battled Sunfire, stopped the invasion of the Z'Nox, where the X-Men officially reformed, with Prof. Xavier returned (explaining his situation of leaving before the Z'Nox invasion), and survived an encounter with an angry Hulk. Next, Professor Xavier sent the X-Men back to the Savage Land, to make sure that Magneto actually perished, where Warren was saved by Avia, and Warren separated from his teammates to rescue Avia from a storm created by Deluge.

While Warren was out on a date with Candy, his father was killed, by men working for the villain Dazzler. Overcome with grief, Warren blamed his own absence for his father's murder. Candy was kidnapped by Dazzler's organization as well and, when Warren went to rescue her, the Dazzler removed Angel's mask and revealed his identity to both the Dazzler and Candy. Dazzler admitted to actually being Warren's own uncle, Burtram Worthington, having only used Worthington Industries for his campaign of diamond smuggling. Burtram was apparently killed in the following battle, from a great fall. It was later revealed that Warren's uncle, Burtram, had, in fact, survived the fall and was intending on stealing away the Worthington family fortune. The X-Men, with Candy, were able to stop the Dazzler's plot, but not before Warren's mother, Kathryn, was poisoned by Burtram and died. After hearing that an old colleague, Professor Hans Jorgenson, had been kidnapped, Professor X summoned the X-Men to track down Spider-Man. After the X-Men defeated him, they returned him to the mansion and learned that Prof. Jorgenson was, actually, kidnapped by Michael Morbius. The X-Men defeated Morbius, saved Prof. Jorgenson, and cured Spider-Man of a toxin. Attempting to check-in on Beast, after he had left the X-Men and began a career at the Brand Corporation and hearing of beast attacks, Warren arrived and aided Beast, who was also the beast in question, in battling Griffin and creating a story to explain Hank McCoy's recent disappearances. Later, Magneto learned to control people, by manipulating the iron in their blood and controlled Warren to help heal him. Later, the X-Men and a number of mutants were kidnapped, by the Secret Empire, to harness their energy to power an "Electorn-Gyro". After Number One landed the saucer on the White House lawn and defeated Moonstone, the Secret Empire was defeated by Cyclops, Captain America, the Falcon, and Marvel Girl. Warren was among the original X-Men that were rescued by Prof. Xavier's new team of X-Men, from an encounter with the island-being Krakoa. Not longer after, Warren and the other original X-Men left the team, leaving Cyclops and Prof. Xavier with a brand new team of X-Men.

Champions of Los Angeles

Warren decided to start a college career in Los Angeles. While meeting with Iceman on the campus of UCLA, Warren and Bobby Drake were attacked, by harpies, trying to locate Venus. The two young hero were joined by Ghost Rider, Black Widow, and Hercules. After a battle with the Huntsman, Hercules and Venus were kidnapped and taken to Mount Olympus. After defeating Pluto, the self-styled "Champions of Los Angeles" decided to stick together as a team. Warren's wealth bankrolled the group, with the vast amounts of wealth Warren had inherited from his mother's death, and they bought a surplus of Avengers' Quinjets, the "Champjet", for team usage. Around this time, Warren also set-up a scholarship fund for his original school, Phillips Academy, for mutant students. After briefly battling each other, the Champions battled Rampage, Griffin, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Darkstar, Stilt-Man, Warlord Kaa, Stranger, Kamo Tharnn, and Swarm. After being beaten and taken hostage, by Typhon, who ordered Iron Man to call the Champions and defeat Hercules, Warren was reunited with his old teammate, Beast. After Dr. Doom attempted to take over the world with a mind-altering neurogas, Magneto and Beast went to the Champions, for assistance. After arriving, the Champions also attacked the duo and they went to Washington, D.C. and confronted Doom, who had the Hulk attack them. After the arrival of the Champions, Ghost Rider shed the effects of the gas and aided the duo. Magneto was poised to defeat Dr. Doom, until Dr. Doom reversed the effects of Magneto's powers and he withdrew from battle. The Champions, Hulk, and Beast defeated Doom, after Ghost Rider burned his to the point that he removed his mask and lost control over everyone. Later, Vanisher returned, with Blob, Lorelei, and Unus, and the Champions defeated his Sentinels. The group was volatile, however, and disbanded after a brief stint.

After the team disbanded, Bobby visited Rampage in the hospital and was brought under his mental control. Bobby began wearing the armor of Rampage and helped him to escape. Spider-Man arrived, to cover the story of the Champions disbanding, and Bobby battled both him and Angel. Spider-Man battled Iceman and was able to bring him to his senses and Warren returned Rampage to the hospital. Warren and Candy moved away to Colorado for some time. While in Colorado, Bobby took his girlfriend, Terri Sue Bottoms, to Warren's cabin style mansion and was attacked, by Master Mold. After Bobby was captured, Warren flew after and, after battling Doc Samson over Gamma Base, Master Mold awoke the Hulk. The Angel and the Hulk were also captured and taken to the Sentinel Space Station, where the Hulk broke free and tore Master Mold into pieces. While at a bar, in New York, Warren ran into Thing and Human Torch and Warren and Thing were drugged and kidnapped, by Toad. Toad had become a hired assassin and was hoping to test his death castle on Warren. After surviving the castle's traps, Warren felt pity on Toad, who did not have the money to pay his contractor, and offered to pay, if Toad began working for him. After, Warren opened a theme park over the castle, called Toadland.

Hearing of the problems the X-Men were having with the Hellfire Club, Warren invited the X-Men to a Hellfire Club party, to try and prove their innocence. During the party, the Phoenix fell under Mastermind and the Hellfire Club's control and transformed into the Black Queen. Warren joined the X-Men while they battled the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle and Phoenix underwent another transformation into the Dark Phoenix and soared through the universe, where she devoured an entire star and the five billion inhabitants of one of its planets. When Phoenix returned to Earth, she threatened to kill everyone, but Professor Xavier was able to keep her under control and helped her will herself back to normal. The X-Men were then teleported away by the Shi'ar. The Shi'ar Empire had witnessed Dark Phoenix consuming the star and the X-Men were forced to battle with the Imperial Guard over Phoenix's fate. The battle triggered her transformation into Dark Phoenix once more and Phoenix understood that she would never be able to fully control the dark hunger inside and sacrificed herself on the moon. Later, Warren attended "Jean Grey's" funeral.

Following Jean Grey's (Phoenix) apparent death, Cyclops left the X-Men for a time, so Angel rejoined the team to ensure they were not shorthanded. The X-Men stopped the attempted assassination of Senator Robert Kelly, by the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Later, Warren attended Dazzler's first show at Numero Uno and battled Amora The Enchantress' Nightgaunts. Then, after Miss Locke kidnapped Candy, the X-Men traveled to Latveria where they defeated a Doombot in the image of Dr. Doom to rescue Arcade. Warren eventually left the X-Men, again, due to constant conflict with fellow team member, Wolverine. Later, Warren was reunited with Iceman and Beast, after he and a group of heroes were manipulated to join the Avengers. Warren felt compelled to display his skill, by battling Tigra, and it was revealed that Moondragon was manipulating all of them, to strengthen the Avengers. After Moondragon reconsidered, Warren departed. While Warren and Candy were in his cabin style mansion, the couple was attacked, by Ghost Rider, and aided, by the Avengers, until Warren calmed his former teammate. After Tanya Anderssen, Dr. Karl Lykos' girlfriend, asked him to check if Sauron was alive or not, Warren later found himself again in the Savage Land, aiding Spider-Man in battling the Savage Land Mutates, where Brainchild experimented on him. After Warren and Spider-Man are transformed, Dr. Lykos absorbed their mutant energy and was permanently transformed into Sauron. After Spider-Man left, Warren called the X-Men and they were captured, while Warren escaped. Seeking to rescue his friends, Warren and Ka-Zar entered Sauron's citadel and Warren distracted Sauron, while Ka-Zar rescued the X-Men.

Warren was later kidnapped by the underground Morlocks, to marry Callisto and he was released after the X-Man, Storm, defeated the Morlocks' leader, Callisto, in a duel for leadership of the Morlocks. Around this time, Warren found himself pursuing Alison Blaire, aka the Dazzler, who he had been infatuated with since he met, when they were manipulated by Moondragon into joining the Avengers. Ever since then, Warren had developed a crush on her and wanted to ask her out on a date. After butting-in on a date of hers, Warren waited for her at her house and took her for a flight, which led to a romantic evening. After stopping Dr. Octopus from a prison escape, Alison remained confused about her actions. Warren later attempted to reunite Alison with her mother, but her friend, Vanessa Tooks, beat him to the act. When the Sisterhood of Evil Mutants, Mystique, Rogue, and Destiny sought revenge on the X-Men, they decided that Angel would be an appropriate source of information. When the trio attacked Warren, Alison defeated the trio of villains. Warren began to lay-low, returning to Los Angeles. After getting a call that Ali had been blackmailed to kill a man in Los Angeles, Warren flew to her aid in time to save them from a bullet that the angry blackmailer fired at them.

Defenders

After recovering from the bullet wound in his arm, Warren joined his original teammates Beast and Iceman, to reorganize the Defenders. After the founding Defenders (Dr Strange, Prince Namor, The Hulk, and The Silver Surfer) were convinced to leave the team, Warren funded the team and provided his Colorado penthouse, as a headquarters. With the Defenders, Warren stopped Cloud, Harridan, and Seraph from kidnapping Vision. Later, when the Defenders attempted to rescue Seraph and Cloud from the Secret Empire, Professor Power became the new Number One and sought to trigger a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but the Defenders defeated him, the Secret Empire, as well as their agents Mad-Dog and the Mutant Force. After a misunderstanding, the Defenders even battled the New Mutants. Later, they battled Walrus, Manslaughter, and teammate Gargoyle. When the Dire Wraiths homeworld, Wraithworld, began to approach Earth through hyperspace, the Defenders went to aid ROM and, with the help of Forge, banished them from existence. Another of the teams' adventures was when the Grandmaster and Death had them battle with all of Earth's heroes. Later, Candy was asked to lead the squad. Later, Moondragon, who was possessed by Dragon of the Moon, seemingly killed most of the members of the Defenders, in a climactic battle, and the team disbanded.

X-Factor

Around this time, the Mutant Registration Act was passed, that called for all mutants to register with the government, forfeiting their civil rights and illegalizing an unregistered mutant. While deciding what to do with his life, in New Mexico, with Hank and Bobby, Warren received news, from Reed Richards, that the real Jean Grey was, in-fact, alive and Warren called Scott Summers, to meet with her. After meeting with Scott, Jean decided that they should do something about the current situation of mutants, as the X-Men had strayed from Professor Xavier's dream. The five original friends founded X-Factor, an organization that intended to seek out and aid other mutants, under the pretense of hunting down those perceived menaces to society, believing that the X-Men were no longer following the dream. The public assumed they were humans hunting mutants, when in fact, they were training young mutants in the use of their powers at the X-Factor Complex. Once again, Warren funded the group and appointed Candy as the Vice President of Worthington Industries. Warren asked his best friend and college roommate, Cameron Hodge, to act as the team's PR adviser, unaware that Cameron actually despised mutants, was the leader of the anti-mutant group The Right, and was simply waiting for the time to strike. With X-Factor, Warren, first, rescued troubled mutant, Rusty Collins, from the Navy.

Shortly after the formation of X-Factor, Beast was captured, by Tower, for the geneticist, Dr. Carl Maddicks. The team was contacted to silence Tower and ,after a battle, the team rescued Beast and Artie Maddicks, while Dr. Maddicks perished, distracting the guards. After battling Tower, X-Factor rescued Rusty from Frenzy. The team went-on to battle Apocalypse and his Alliance of Evil and Bulk and Glow Worm, where the media referred to their non human guises as X-Terminators, and next, Doppelganger and Crimson Dynamo. After being accused of capturing William Evans, Jr. by his father, X-Factor journeyed to Project: PEGASUS and briefly battled Iron Man, before teaming with him to stop a rampaging Willie, at the cost of the young mutant's life. After attending Willie's funeral, X-Factor was hired, by J. Jonah Jameson, to capture Spider-Man and, after a misunderstanding, briefly battled, until he rescued Marvel Girl from a fall and X-Factor returned the fee, stating that they only hunt mutants. Rusty was again pursued, this time by the Freedom Force, where Blob recognized X-Factor as the original X-Men, and the team was aided by a girl, named Skids, and invited her to the Complex. Rusty had been greatly injured, by the Blob, and needed medical attention and Artie had went into the Morlocks' tunnels looking for him. While Angel and Marvel Girl rushed Rusty to medical attention, Beast, Cyclops, and Iceman stayed in the tunnels, while the Marauders began their massacre of the Morlocks. At this time, reporter, Trish Tilby, shattered X-Factor's illusion, from Mystique's tip, by leaking that Warren, a mutant, financially backed the group and Candy walked-in on Warren comforting Jean and left him and her position.

Death

When returning to aid X-Factor against the Marauders, Warren attempted to rescue Artie on his own and his wings were pinned to the wall by the Marauder, Harpoon, after being beaten by Blockbuster and Vertigo. After being rescued by Thor, Warren's wings were severely infected to the point that amputation was necessary for him to live. Although Warren objected, Hodge had a court order issued to go through with the amputation. Distraught by these experiences, Warren attempted to fly one more time and his plane exploded (later revealed that it was sabotaged by Hodge). It had seemed that Warren committed suicide and was believed dead, although, he was actually rescued by Apocalypse. Warren agreed to serve Apocalypse, in return for his new techno-organic wings. Apocalypse warped his body and mind into his own "Angel of Death" upon his Celestial Ship and placed him into his team of Horsemen.

Warren's new wings could fly higher, faster, were razor sharp, with feathers that were thrown as blades with a neurotoxin, and could even fold into a barely visible bundle on his back for concealing. After the fourth Horseman, Death, was revealed to be Warren, Apocalypse had the Horsemen battle each other, to find the leader and Death beat them all. As Death, Warren fought the rest of X-Factor and captured them. After X-Factor's defeat, the Horsemen were sent into Manhattan to incite chaos. X-Factor and the Power Pack battled the Horsemen, Pestilence was killed, Famine was sent to America's Bread Basket, and Apocalypse called Death and War back to Ship, where Warren was soon brought out of his brainwashing, after Iceman faked his own death at Warren's hands, by having him destroy an ice sculpture of Bobby. Warren, then, rejoined his team and, after their defeat of Apocalypse, his Ship crash landed on their Complex and X-Factor began living on Apocalypse's sentient Ship and Caliban left with Apocalypse. Unable to face anyone, Death left the team and X-Factor was approached by the media and finally revealed the truth of their mutant origins and disguise of mutant hunters.

Death returned to Candy's apartment and found it empty. After questioning Trish of Candy's whereabouts, Death concluded that she was kidnapped by The Right and began a search, starting at Worthington Industries. After arriving at the Right headquarters, Death battled through Smiley-Face soldiers and demons to reach Hodge. Once Death reach Hodge, they battled and Hodge eventually killed Candy, stating that he had made a deal with demons and was immortal, and Worthington decapitated Hodge, in retaliation. After a brief proposition from the demon, N'Astirh, Death overheard of an invasion of New York and returned to aid his former teammates of X-Factor. After stalking the team, Death eventually returned to X-Factor. After reuniting with X-Factor Death fought countless demons, searching for baby Christopher Summers, Cyclops' son. X-Factor's search lead them to N'Astirh, who teleported with the baby, and Madelyne Pryor-Summers, Cyclops' wife, reappeared with him, calling herself the Goblin Queen and calling baby Christopher Nathan. The Goblin Queen battled X-Factor and instigated a battle between X-Factor and the X-Men, giving Death his chance to fight his former teammate, Wolverine, having the X-Men under her demonic influence and believing that X-Factor was attempting to kidnap Nathan. After N'Astirh attacked, X-Factor and the X-Men combined efforts to defeat him, assuming that he was controlling the Goblin Queen and Havok, calling himself the Goblin Prince.

At that moment, Marvel Girl was captured, by Maddie, and another battle was instigated between X-Factor and the X-Men. Longshot and Dazzler were corrupted, by the Goblin Queen, to attack Death and he was delivered to the Goblin Queen, where she began to corrupt him as well calling him the Dark Angel, kissing him, and connecting their pasts of being used by Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister. The Goblin Queen attempted to sacrifice baby Nathan atop the Empire State Building to permanently open a gateway between Earth and the demonic Limbo. Fighting the Goblin Queen's influence, Death freed Marvel Girl and rescued Havok from a lethal fall. The Goblin Queen locked herself, Nathan, and Jean inside a psionic barrier and both X-Factor and the X-Men's combined efforts seemed to be futile in an effort to break through the telekinetic bubble. The invasion was thwarted after Madelyne committed suicide in combat with Jean, attempting to kill everyone in her power, but the X-Men and X-Factor protected each other while Jean protected Nathan Christopher. Death later officially returned to X-Factor, as the somber and brooding "Archangel", as Beast called him, constantly fighting with the urge for his wings to kill.

Continually fighting an inward battle against his killer instincts, Warren eventually learned to control his wings through concentration. Warren was attacked by Caliban, a former teammate who had taken his place as the Horseman Death, trying to prove himself in the eyes of Apocalypse. Later, Warren encountered a resurrected Cameron in Genosha. Warren met a widowed mother and beat cop named Charlotte Jones. Together they began an awkward relationship.

Returning to the X-Men (Gold Team)

After defeating the Shadow King on Muir Island, Warren and his fellow X-Factor founders returned to the X-Men. Warren often adventured with the X-Men's "Gold Team" led by Storm.

The team journeyed to a void where Warren was seduced by the Triumvirate leader, Sha-Har-A-Zath, into battling his comrades. Soon after, the X-Men returned to the Morlock Tunnels to stop a young mutant, Brain Cell, from mentally influencing the Morlocks to incite chaos. After the battle, Warren made his way back to the spot where his wings had been injured by the Marauders. There, Jean helped him see that his destructive behavior was not the fault of his wings but instead his own repressed violent tendencies. Warren began to see it was up to him to get his life under control.

When Prof. Xavier was shot by Stryfe, Warren allied himself with the new X-Factor and X-Force to track down Apocalypse and the Mutant Liberation Front. While engaged in battle Warren accidentally decapitated Kamikaze, once again blaming his wing’s lust for blood. When Beast and Dr. Moira MacTaggert had exhausted all of their resources, Apocalypse stepped-in to save Prof. Xavier. Warren, surprisingly, vouched for Apocalypse's genius but promised he would kill Apocalypse after torturing him and at a time of his choosing. However, Warren decided to leave him to die alone after a wounded Apocalypse asked him to end his misery.

PERSONALITY:
   Warren is your standard rich boy growing up with anything he wanted. As time went on he became the Archangel and he became more dark and brooding. Taking over the company after his parents died he took over the company and became more successful then before. He still struggles against the persona of Death that are in his DNA thanks to Apocalypse.

EQUIPMENT:
    Other then a standard communicator Warren rarely carries anything else.

KNOWN ENEMIES:
    Standard X villains....

I have a bit of time on my hands at the moment and I do love to toy around with graphics, logos, and so on. No idea if we will use post headers or what image dimensions might be allowed there so I did these just for fun.

          

If anyone wants / needs something like this done, I'm game.

Those look great!

[eightxinfinity]

Seems like y'all could use some villains. I think I'll tenatively throw my hat in the ring to take Sabretooth or Juggernaut if he's available, though I think I saw a claim for the latter earlier.

[Juggtacular]

I'm working on Juggernaut at the moment yes. Sabretooth would be cool to see though, especially with a Logan too. Just like Black Tom could be awesome against Banshee.

[wander]

Okay, so with the lacking of X-Factor interest and I happen to like the Inhumans, I'll take on Quicksilver.

I'd like to look more into his failed marriage with Crystal and he'd be a dad to little Luna still then and I'm pondering when abouts it was that Crystal was with Black Knight. She'd be with the Avengers around anyway, as she came and joined them before Pietro joined up with X-Factor.

Anyway, if noone else has shown interest, I'll take Quicksilver.

I wish to echo the statement made by Miyaluca. Those are really good looking. I would love to have one in my signature once we get started.

[Sirian Eve]

Alright I think Psylocke is all ready. I may need to edit some history between her and certain X-Men, if anyone is interested let me know. :)

[Juggtacular]

Alright I think Psylocke is all ready. I may need to edit some history between her and certain X-Men, if anyone is interested let me know. :)

We can talk about Psylocke and Gambit. And Bishop when I get him up. Hopefully should be later tonight.

[kckolbe]

Never settle for the first offer Eve!  ~grins~

Naturally, up for plotting with Banshee.

[NubianLegend]

May I reserve Captain Britain?  I'd like to take a stab at the character. I know very little about him but he seems pretty bad ass.

[TamaRose]

I miss so much when I spend all day doing yard work. :-(

Anyway, I love Havoc. It's just that I would play him different if I did play him.

Jubes, I can work on tomorrow. I am totally exhausted.

...and Archangel is totally hot! :P

[Sirian Eve]

Lol, if you two want to shoot me a pm, I'll be here when you're ready.

[wander]

Okay, I'll get a profile up for Quicksilver tomorrow... Playing him is growing on me.

I also need to work on doing a Shatterstar profile, though I'm struggling with the face-claim. I know he is gay in the comics, I'll be playing him as bi here.

As always, feel free to PM me to talk about either guy. :)

[Lady Onyx]

Hmm I didn't know we could do edits in history. I probably should've, but it's been awhile since I've done a group roleplay. I suppose I'm a bit rusty. -laughs-

FACE CLAIM: Stephen Lang
APPEARANCE:



POWERS/ABILITIES:

   Telepathy: Ability read minds and project the thoughts of others.
       
          ◾Telepathic Illusion: Ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. 

          ◾Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. Can extend these defenses to others around him as well. Cable's abilities can, at times, go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths, depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities.

          ◾Mind Link: Ability to develop a mental link with any person, which remains as a connection to that individual.

          ◾Telepathic Camouflage: Ability to mask himself and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around his quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).

          ◾Mind Control: Ability to control the minds and even voluntary and involuntary bodily functions of sentient beings (such as other humans).

          ◾Mind Trap: Ability to take another person's mind from their body and effectively trapping that mind within his own.

          ◾Mind Possession: Ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as your own.

          ◾Mind Alteration: Ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.

          ◾Psionic Shield: Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others minds. Cable has proven very difficulty to psychically assail, as he is very well skilled in shielding his own mind from mental-attacks (such as attempts to read, control or harm his own mind), and has been sufficient to protect himself from other psychics. His power was strong enough to break Onslaught's control over Hulk.

          ◾Psionic Blasts: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind, so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.

          ◾Astral Projection: Ability to Astral Travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the Astral Plane, he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. Cable has a mastery of astral projection, and is able to remain on his own plane of existence or to traverse into any of the so-called "Astral Planes".

          ◾Mental Detection: Can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a large, but as yet undefined radius of himself, by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being. At his peak, Nathan is strong enough to sense a stray thought a continent away.

   Telekinesis: Cable possesses high-level telekinesis enabling him to manipulate matter with the energy of his thoughts. Capable of very fine control over objects, including himself. On larger levels, Cable can levitate great weights, but her upper limit has remained undisclosed. At his peak, Nathan could extinguish a star with something less than a conscious effort.

          ◾Intuitive Aptitude: Can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.) and, just as quickly, easily assemble complex devices. This also has enabled him to even attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, Cable could detect if a seal was hermetic, or not, by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. Can even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules, and determine the atomic weight of molecules, by the amount of atoms present.

          ◾Matter Alteration: Ability to alter molecular and atomic structures, in his own techno-organic components (though this may be a function of telekinesis, as opposed to a discreet superhuman power), and the ability to alter molecular valences.

          ◾Psionic Spikes: Ability to create destructive psionic spikes that destroy the physical objects that the spikes come into contact with.

          ◾Force-fields: Ability to create protective force shields that could deflect even the most powerful of attacks (even filter bacteria from the air). The upper limits of this ability remain unknown, but it is believed that he could probably protect himself from harm at the ground zero detonation of a 1 kiloton nuclear warhead (4.18 terajoules of energy from the heat, concussion and radiation effects). Cable has also displayed such control over the fields as to shape them precisely, even to conform very closely to his body’s form. There does not appear to be any correlation between field strength and the thickness of the telekinetic fields.

          ◾Concussive Blasts: Can project telekinetic energies as powerful blast beams directed from his brain that could apparently affect matter with concussive force.

          ◾Telekinetic Flight: By levitating himself, he can "fly" for very long distances and at varying speeds.

   Techno-Organics: Much of Cable’s body has been infiltrated and altered by the techno-organic virus, which has taken the form of cybernetics and bionics, meaning he is a cyborg. The primary infection resides in Cable’s left side. As a consequence of his telekinetic guidance and his ability to control his own physical substance, Cable’s entire body has been heavily fortified, down to the cellular level, rendering superhuman strength to an unknown degree, as well as a superhuman level of resistance to physical harm. While he was injured in combat with the Hulk, the injuries were not nearly as severe as they should have been, especially in light of the fact that he was suffering from the effects of his techno-organic virus getting out of control. His entire skeletal structure has been replaced by porous, marrow-filled organic metalloid bone replacements that do not interfere with the creation of erythrocytes (red blood cells).

His entire CNS (Central Nervous System) has been augmented by chemical changes down to the atomic level and by bio-computer enhancement, rendering his reaction time far above what is possible for a human being.
 
        ◾Superhuman Endurance: Cable possesses superhuman physical endurance, just as he does superhuman levels of mental endurance. He is capable of exerting himself at peak levels (fighting full-out, sprinting, etc.) for several hours, before fatigue begins to visibly impair his performance. He is also capable of going extended periods of time without sleep, being fully capable of fully resting with not much over an hour of sleep. However, whenever both possible and feasible, Cable still chooses to sleep for hours at a time (approximately 6 – 8), in order to dream. This high endurance has had other effects on his body, making even his soft tissues extremely durable, and more than up to the task of rendering him virtually immune to conventional firearms and conventional firearm munitions.

        ◾Superhuman Speed: In spite of his great size and impressive build, Cable is literally fast enough to evade high-powered bullets in-flight (after they have been fired), and even has the ability to visually track rounds after they have been fired (though they are not easy to see, except through his cybernetic eye). This great speed is also visible in superhuman levels of dexterity and agility, including manual and pedal dexterity.

        ◾Superhuman Agility and Dexterity

        ◾Cybernetic Eye: This eye permits Cable to see deep into the EM (Electro-Magnetic) spectrum, and far deeper than any known 20th – 21st century technologies are capable of. It is also possible that through this eye, Cable is able to see the deployment of psionic energies, as well as the less exotic spectra of electromagnetic energies.

        ◾Cybernetic Arm: His left arm is completely mechanical, and while Cable is ambidextrous, is his stronger arm, probably capable of allowing him to curl and dead-lift several tons, without assistance from his right arm. His right arm is also cybernetic, but far less so.

        ◾Cybernetic Restoration: Through a combination of his telekinetic abilities, and his ability to rearrange the atomic structures of matter (including his own techno-organic matter), Cable is able to rapidly repair any damaged components within his body. However, if there is widespread damage, this may not be possible, as he may be unable to muster the energy to affect these repairs. When he was attacked by Magneto, and virtually every component in the left side of his body was damaged or destroyed, Cable was left unable to repair enough systems to save his own life, and required outside assistance. It is through these abilities that the physical appearance of his cybernetic components has changed, over the passage of time, as well. At times, they have been articulated, smooth artificial limbs, while at others they have been observed to grow razor-sharp blades on command, as well as retract them. Cable is also able to rapidly redesign and improve his cybernetic and bionic components, thus. On-the-spot improvisations has allowed him to create a variety of microcomputers in his totally mechanized left arm that do such things as allow him to physically interface with exterior computers, up-link/download to computers he has hidden across the world and in space (such as those he had on Graymalkin), and even permit cellular communications and high-speed, broadband, wireless Internet access.

ABILITIES:

   Master Combatant: Cable was a highly accomplished warrior and battle strategist, highly adept in many forms of hand-to-hand combat and in the use of a variety of weaponry from both the modern era and the late 37th-early 39th century.

   Gifted Intelligence: Cable has a diploma in law and is also in possession of an education provided by the Clan Askani, which is far in advance of modern era conventional education, especially in the sciences.

   Teleportation: By "Bodysliding", Cable can teleport or 'bodyslide' to virtually any area, with a limited number of passengers. Though this isn't used much...

   Strength level: Cable's left arm is superhumanly strong, and he can augment himself by using his telekinesis. Which is around 10 tons... Without the mechanical arm and augmenting his strength Cable possesses athlete level strength.

WEAKNESSES:
   Cable is limited in the use of his powers by the need to use them to restrain the T-O Virus from spreading. An excessive effort could release the Virus, and cause him to die slowly, turned into a cyborg.

HISTORY:

Origin

Nathan Christopher Charles Summers' destiny was planned before his parents even met. Geneticist Mr. Sinister found that a union between the X-Men Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) would produce a powerful genetically superior mutant. Sinister hoped he could control such a mutant and use it to defeat his immortal adversary Apocalypse.

Around this time Jean's form and consciousness was replaced by the reckless cosmic Phoenix Force while she healed from radiation poison in a cocoon at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. Sinister created a clone of Jean and named her Madelyne Pryor. Sinister's plan was to produce the child he needed from the union of Madelyne and Scott. Sinister considered his clone a failure until a spark from the Phoenix Force granted Madelyne a life force and some of Jean's memories. Sinister crafted a false background for her and arranged for her to meet Scott as a pilot for Scott's grandparents. Scott was instantly drawn to Madelyne because she strongly resembled his true love, Jean. They quickly married. Madelyne later became pregnant and had a son who she named Nathan Christopher Charles Summers—"Nathan" from an implanted suggestion by Mister Sinister in Madelyne, "Christopher" from Scott's father, and "Charles" from Scott's father-figure.

Early Years

Baby Nathan's alternate reality teenage half-sister Rachel Summers created a psi-bond with him, while promising to protect him and always be there for him. After losing leadership of the X-Men, Scott retired from the X-Men and together he and Madelyne raised the child in Anchorage, Alaska.

Over time Scott and Madelyne's marriage became strained. Madelyne resented the fact that Scott was rarely home and that he continued to miss Jean. Everything worsened when Jean was discovered alive. Scott left little Nathan and Madelyne to reunite with Jean and the other founding members of the X-Men in New York to form a new team called X-Factor. Hearing of Jean's return, Mr. Sinister sent his Marauders to capture Nathan and to kill Madelyne, before she could be exposed as a clone. Madelyne survived and came into the care of the the X-Men, while Sinister took Nathan to his secret lab hidden under the State Home for Foundlings, the orphanage in Nebraska where Nathan's father had grown up. There, Sinister experimented on Nathan. Sinister was thorough and erased all records of Nathan and Madelyne's existence. Scott later returned to Alaska to reconcile with his family, but there was no trace of them except for a baby toy he found left behind in their old home. Scott believed Madelyne had moved away with the baby.

While staying with the X-Men, Madelyne learned the reason why Scott had abandoned her and slowly lost herself to the dark side of her personality. Madelyne agreed to help the demons S'ym and N'Astirh create a link between demon infested dimension of Limbo and Earth in exchange for baby Nathan. Madelyne became aware of her powers and began calling herself the Goblin Queen.

The precognitive mutant Destiny pointed Scott and Jean to Sinister's lab where they found Nathan and many other children in incubation pods. While attempting to rescue Nathan, Scott and Jean battled Nanny and Orphan-Maker, who were attempting to kidnap mutant children to safeguard them. Somehow a telepathic link between Nathan and Jean was opened. Demons escaped with Nathan and he and nine other kidnapped infants were teleported to Times Square. N'Astirh, using the babies as the points of an inverted pentagram, tried to keep a portal open, but the portal was closed by the combined efforts of the X-Terminators and the New Mutants. When his father arrived to rescue him, Nathan was taken back to his mother at the orphanage. Mister Sinister had revealed Madelyne's true origins to her. Blaming Scott and Jean for the misery in her life, she intended to use Nathan and the other nine mutant babies atop the Empire State Building as a sacrifice in her effort to reopen another portal. After the defeat of N'Astirh, the Goblin Queen locked herself, Nathan, and Jean inside a psionic barrier. Madelyne killed herself and locked Jean into a mental bond, hoping to take her down with her. Jean re-integrated the portions of her life-force that had gone from the Phoenix Force to Madelyne. In doing so, Jean also received Madelyne's memories, including those of raising young Nathan.

Nathan was taken to X-Factor's sentient Celestial Ship, where he was cared for by Scott and Jean. Scott decided to take Nathan with him on missions. Nathan's other mutant powers began to manifest, as he could form a protective telekinetic force bubble around himself. Meanwhile, the mysterious Cable took command of the New Mutants. Unknown to Scott and Jean, Cable was actually an adult Nathan returned from the far future, paradoxically living in this time as both an infant and an adult.

The Riders of the Storm kidnapped Nathan and took him to Apocalypse's base on the Blue Area of the Moon. Before Nathan could be rescued by X-Factor, Apocalypse infected him with a Techno-Organic Virus that was rapidly spreading liquid metal and organic steel through his body and, if not stopped, would kill him. Ship created a protective electro-magnetic field and merged with Nathan's electrical parts to keep him alive. A visitor from 2,000 years in the future, Sister Askani of the Clan Askani, appeared to Cyclops. She had sacrificed her physical body to become energy and claimed that Nathan would become a savior in her time. Sister Askani promised the Clan would cure him of the virus in the future, however she would be unable to make another time-jump, trapping Nathan in the future. Cyclops chose to save his son's life and gave him up, believing that he would never see him again.

Nathan Dayspring

Upon arriving in this future Earth ruled by Apocalypse and his Canaanite Army, Nathan was given to Mother Askani, a time-displaced version of his sister, Rachel Summers. The Clan Askani worshiped Nathan as the prophesied "Dayspring" and "Askani'son".

Mother Askani placed Nathan in an incubation crib to preserve his life, but the virus had progressed too far. The only thing keeping the child alive was the acts of Ship. Fearing that Nathan would not survive, Mother Askani had him cloned. Despite their original assessments, the Askani learned that the original child would live after all. Just then, the Canaanites attacked the base. Nathan was safely removed before they nearly killed Mother Askani and began the massacre of the Clan Askani. Apocalypse himself claimed the cloned child, whom he believed to be the original Nathan Summers who he had infected centuries earlier. Apocalypse raised the child and called him Stryfe, planning to use him as a vessel the next time Apocalypse needed a new host body.

Badly wounded, Mother Askani brought Scott and Jean into the future to protect Nathan. As their own bodies could not have survived time travel, Jean and Scott inhabited new bodies cloned from their descendants. Much time had passed since they had last seen Nathan as a child. At this point in their lives they were married and had learned Cable was Nathan's future self and had begun to mend their relationship with him.

Apocalypse's Prelate Ch'vayre captured the true Nathan. Scott, Jean, and Mother Askani successfully rescued Nathan, but Ch'Vayre severely wounded Mother Askani, leaving her in a coma. Under the aliases of Redd and Slym Dayspring, Jean and Scott raised Nathan together while Rachel was lying in a coma, held alive by machines. They never told "Nathan Dayspring" of their true origins or his, and never stayed in one place for too long. They began Nathan's training in the hope he would become Cable and eventual fulfill his destiny by overthrowing Apocalypse. The Techno-Organic Virus had already spread to the left side of Nathan's body, giving him a cybernetic appearance. Redd taught Nathan to use his telekinetic abilities to hold the effects of the virus back, and to telepathically mask its presence.

At eight years old, Nathan met Stryfe during a Clan Rebellion raid on Apocalypse's citadel in Crestcoast. Surprised at their resemblance, Stryfe was defeated by Nathan. His sister Rachel telepathically spoke to Nathan from her coma and helped him destroy a virus designed by Apocalypse.

After years of remission, Nathan's Techno-Organic Virus suddenly began to flare-up and he went into a coma as his condition was deemed terminal. Slym watched over Nathan day and night. Mother Askani, appearing as young Rachel Summers, telepathically formally introduced herself to Nathan. Rachel explained to him that he was potentially the most powerful mutant ever and that, if he sacrificed the maximum use of his telekinesis daily, he could contain the virus.

The day came when Apocalypse was ready to make Stryfe his new host, and Redd, Slym, and Nathan were there to stop him. Apocalypse saw through their physical bodies and recognized them as his ancient adversaries Cable, Jean Grey, and Cyclops. After Nathan, Redd, and Slym attacked Apocalypse, the disillusioned Ch'vayre betrayed his master, distracting him, and Slym ordered Nathan to disrupt any telepathic links between Apocalypse and Stryfe, seemingly killing Apocalypse. At that moment, Mother Askani began to die and Redd disappeared. Slym realized that he too would be sent back to his time and would be forced to abandon his son for the second time in his life. Wanting to say so much, could only promise Nathan that he would never be alone. Ch'vayre took Stryfe into his care and warned Nathan that followers of Apocalypse would search for him. Nathan left on his own to restore the dream that Apocalypse tried to destroy.

Years passed. Stryfe eventually became the military leader of the new dictatorship that arose in Apocalypse's place, the New Canaanites. Madame Sanctity turned the remains of the Askani into the Askani Sisterhood. Nathan traveled on his own and grudgingly attended secret Askani revivals, where he met Tetherblood. Nathan and Tetherblood forged a very close relationship over the following years.

After Nathan spoke-out at a meeting he was imprisoned by 'Strator Umbridge. His Techno-Organic Virus infection worsened. Blaquesmith, a member of Clan Askani, broke into his cell and extracted a glowing orb from the metallic flesh of Nathan's chest. The orb was Ship's A.I. which, forgetting its past, could control electronic devices and began to call itself "Professor". Nathan kept the Professor as an ally. After 'Strator Umbridge realized that it was Nathan who had defeated Apocalypse, she sent guards. Blaquesmith seemingly sacrificed himself so Nathan and Tetherblood could escape, telepathically telling Nathan to find the remaining members of the Clan Askani.

After arriving in Ebonshire, Nathan battled the Daegon and was saved from death by Aliya, who he immediately fell for. After battling the insectoid Loci, Aliya took Nathan back to Madame Sanctity and he asked to learn the ways of the Askani. Even though Nathan was a male, Sanctity ordered Aliya to instruct him because he was the Askani'son. After the New Canaanites attacked, Nathan saved Aliya and he began to lose control of his techno-organics in front of her. During the battle, Madame Sanctity was seemingly killed, but had actually joined with Stryfe. Nathan, Aliya, and Tetherblood promised to build a rebellion against the New Canaanite tyranny.

Clan Chosen Canaanites War

Stryfe began wearing his trademark armor and very rarely took off his mask. Nathan, meanwhile, became the foremost military leader of the New Canaanites' opposition, the Clan Chosen and continued the ways of the Askani. The Askani beliefs taught Nathan such tenets as "what is, is", that fate must be embraced, and "thanks for today, please for tomorrow", a belief that the past brings hope, and preached that the "Sacred Timeline" should be preserved and nurtured through careful time travel. Part of the Askani intense discipline and training was mediation performed while levitation upside down. The Askani also believed in tiny winged Wysps that carried prayers. The Askani had a ceremonial language, unique martial arts, and the Psimitar, a weapon that focuses psionic energy. Believers deified the ancient X-Men: "the Xavier" became a father figure, the Bright Lady a mother goddess, and the prophesied "Dayspring" or "Askani'son" their messiah. The Askani took, as their symbols, the Phoenix and the scarred eye, reminiscent of the scars around the Askani'son's right eye. Training in the Askani ways under surviving Askani elders, they repeatedly battled the New Canaanites and the Scions of Apocalypse, led by Stryfe.

During the war between these opposing forces, Nathan and Stryfe clashed repeatedly, becoming bitter enemies, even though Nathan was unaware that Stryfe was the same child he had seen when he was eight. Nathan also clashed with the Neo-Canaanites, a group that also wished to claim Apocalypse's power. Around Nathan's sixteenth birthday, one of the Canaanite forces had been infecting members of the Clan Chosen with nanite explosives, turning them into unwilling suicide bombers. Nathan and a squad attacked the Siberian Facility, where the nanites were controlled, and learned that one of his clan was infected. Nathan attempted to destroy their ability to trigger the bombs, by destroying the facility, but the clan member was still active. Fearing for his life, the clan member ran to his teammates, but Nathan, attempting to save the remaining lives of the squad, was forced to detonate the nanite. When Stryfe's spy, Korless, infiltrated the Clan and Stryfe psychically attacked Nathan, Stryfe captured Tetherblood and the Professor from Nathan's camp and Stryfe tortured Tetherblood to find out its importance. The withdraw of the Professor from Nathan caused him to become very sick and Blaquesmith sent Aliya to the past to find Cable, the adult Nathan. Aliya was successful, though she and Nathan were unaware of Cable's true origin. Cable returned with the flask and activated Ship's A.I., which again merged with Nathan. Professor lived within Nathan's techno-organic flesh, acting as adviser to him and helping to control the T-O infection. Nathan fell in love with Aliya and the two married. Aliya took the clan name of 'Jenskot' as a tribute to Jean and Scott, the parents of the Askani'son. At some time, a soldier in the New Canaanite army was wounded and Nathan came across his body. Nathan decided to contact the New Canaanite's Evac team, so that he was not left for dead, and then took off, not knowing that he would create a future enemy.

Later, Jenskot was captured, during a New Canaanite raid and, while she did not speak of her time as a prisoner, it was hinted that she was tortured and raped by Stryfe. Eventually, Nate was able to rescue her. Jenskot later gave birth to her son, Tyler Dayspring, and Nathan never questioned his parentage. During a later attack by Stryfe's forces, a bomb was set and Aliya was fatally wounded. Aliya died in Nathan's arms and asked him to take care of her son, unaware that Tyler had been abducted. Stryfe ordered Parridan Haight's scientist, Frisco, to brainwash Tyler to reject Nathan’s beliefs and become Stryfe’s pawn. After the death of Aliya, Nathan became more brash and a danger to himself and Tetherblood closely watched over him, even when he asked him not to.

Traveler

After losing the war to the Neo-Canaanites and growing sick of the fighting, Nathan decided to defy his Askani training and destroy Apocalypse before he came into power. Using time-traveling technology, Nathan traveled to ancient Egypt, shortly after En Sabah Nur found the Celestial Ship, and battled En Sabah Nur and his original Dark Riders, with a sword and shield while calling himself the Traveler. While cloaking himself from Nur and killing his assassins, Traveler was warned of an ancient evil by the Council of Nirinthia. After arriving eighty feet underground in the Karanada Castle, in the city Relic of Karanada, Traveler and a sorceress D'narda encountered the Skornn, a recently hatched being that fed on humans and especially mutants. Traveler fought fiercely with Skornn, but was unable to kill him, until D'narda informed him that a dagger, Five Fingers of Annihilation, was the only thing that could kill him, but in order for making the blade take a life, another should be put in return. It is unclear, but assumed, that D'narda sacrificed herself for Traveler to kill Skornn.

During one battle with Nur, Nur severed Traveler's left cybernetic arm and, during the confusion, the Traveler pulled a gun and shot him in the head. After reattaching his techno-organic arm, Traveler was accepted as the new leader of the Dark Riders, but declined. Traveler turned to Ozymandias, Nur's servant, and instructed him to remember that there will always be someone smarter and stronger around and that being fit to survive means to have the responsibility to help those who are not. Unaware to the Traveler, his techno-organic infected blood mixed with Nur's, as he wiped Nur's blood on Ozymandias.

Years after his battle with Nur, though only days to Nathan, the Traveler found himself somewhere near the Ho-Lo Shan Mountains in Mongolia, China, to ambush a caravan of advanced technology. Traveler followed the caravan to Ozymandias and asked how they obtained the futuristic technology, which Ozymandias replied that it was actually ancient technology. Ozymandias explained that he had Nur's dead body brought to an alien ship, hoping that its technology could heal him, and Traveler explained that it was actually a Celestial transport for a highly advanced alien race, a sentient exploratory device, realizing that he was standing in the same Ship that would become a part of him. Traveler entered the ship to learn that his blood mixed with the Techno-Organic Virus and Nur's resurrected him and, infected with the virus, allowed Nur to understand Ship. Angry at the revelation, Traveler told Nur that if he was responsible for his immortality, he will make Nur spend eternity far away from there and sent both Ship and its passenger far into space. Outside, Traveler told Ozymandias that he had been traveling through time to find out all about Nur, hoping to find a weakness, but his travels actually were the exact thing that brought Nur into power. When Ozymandias asked if En Sabah Nur would return, Traveler replied, "No, Apocalypse will".

Cable

Nathan returned to the future and, after decades of battle, the Clan Chosen signed a long-lasting peace treaty with the New Canaanites, but Nathan, upset by rumors that Apocalypse had survived, convinced the Clan's Askani Council that they needed to fight again, after the council made him prove himself against the Protectorate Council Guards in an arena. However, ensuing battles cost the Clan dearly and the following war nearly destroyed all life on Earth. Among the dead was Dayspring's ally, Adam Spectre. When the Clan Chosen attacked Stryfe, Tyler captured Clan member Dawnsilk, forging a neural link between them to gain Clan Chosen secrets. Nathan decided to sever the link, by shooting his son, in order to save Dawnsilk. This knocked Tyler out and further damaged his and Dawnsilk's mind as well. During another battle, Nathan and Tetherbood lead a squad to obtain Captain America's Shield, which Nathan used to inspire liberty and justice in his followers. After the Neo-Canaanites defeated the New Canannites, Nathan learned that Stryfe used the Tinex and, with the A.D.A.M. Unit Zero, fled, traveling back in time to the late 20th century. As part of his mission as the Askani'son, Nathan returned to the 20th century to foil the plans of Stryfe and preserve Apocalypse's rise to power. To ensure that he did not falter from his mission or disrupt the timeline and charged with the grim task of eliminating him if he became unstable, Blaquesmith was sent to an earlier time also, unknown to Nathan.

Nathan first arrived on Muir Island and met Dr. Moira MacTaggart, although later it seemed she did not recall doing so. After learning the English language and current events from a mind-link with Dr. MacTaggart, Nathan, now calling himself Cable, shuttled between the past and future multiple times, at one point bringing with him his orbital space station, Graymalkin (named after the address of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters), and setting-up technologically advanced safehouses all over the world. Professor had assumed control of Graymalkin and the safehouses, performing duties similar to those it had as Ship. Graymalkin had complete control over every part of its structure and could fashion rooms, weapons, and vehicles as needed from various storehouses and parts it had. It was able to design and run training programs for Cable, as well as make living quarters and workshop areas for him. Graymalkin not only served as a base for Cable, but also allowed Cable to teleport through time and space, with the time displacement core (TDC). Cable simply had to command Professor to "Body-Slide" him to a destination. On Graymalkin, Cable had robot servants that he named after the original X-Men.

Six Pack

In order to understand the current era's threats and obtain finances, Cable formed a mercenary group called the Wild Pack, later known as the Six Pack, and began to sell his advanced future weapons. Over time, Cable became intimate with his teammate, Domino, and became very wealthy. Wild Pack was mostly contracted to Mr. Tolliver, an arms dealer. On a mission in Afghanistan, Six Pack learned that Stryfe was in charge of Mr. Tolliver's opium routes and they were contracted to take out the Soviet armored carriers that were in this route's way. After a brief battle, Stryfe and Zero teleported away. Cable scrapped the mission, much to the disliking of the team. Angry, Mr. Tolliver sent agents to kill Six Pack, but they were defeated. On another mission, Six Pack invaded a Hydra research facility in search of a stolen component. Once inside, Hammer accidentally triggered a fail-safe and Baron von Strucker's image appears everywhere, threatening to kill Six Pack, but they quickly retrieved the device and body slid out. Six Pack later found-out that they were working for A.I.M.. Feeling used, Six Pack decided to go after Stryfe in Uruguay. After entering an underground bunker, Six Pack battled their way into a control room, where Hammer began to download secret information from Stryfe onto a CD. While waiting for the disk to finish downloading, Stryfe teleported behind Kane and grabbed his neck, demanding Hammer to give him the CD. Before Hammer could give Stryfe the CD, Cable shot him from behind. Stryfe grabbed the disk telekinetically and set-off a self-destruct on the bunker. Cable teleported away, leaving Six Pack to fend for themselves.

New Mutants

After the Six Pack was decimated, Cable returned to the future greatly injured. In the future, Cable discovered records that stated Sam Guthrie, the New Mutant known as Cannonball, existed into at least the 23rd century. Cable believed Sam would be the next in a group of immortal, mutants known as High-Lords or Externals. Cable returned to the present to take command of the New Mutants and guide Guthrie's ascension into the Externals.

X-Force

After settling into their new base in the Adirondack Mountains, Feral took a training session too far and Cable reconsidered allowing her to join X-Force. X-Force later aided Siryn in battling the Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy, who had detonated a bomb at the World Trade Center. After the battle, Cable was surprised to see G.W. Bridge, former member of Six Pack, with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attempting to arrest him. After returning to the base, Cable offered Siryn membership on X-Force and she accepted. Later, X-Force was ambushed, at their base by the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and Cable's face was ripped-off, by Thornn, revealing his techno-organic left side to X-Force. During the battle, Cannonball was impaled, by Sauron, and seemingly died, but returned, unaware what happened. After explaining his proposed immortality, X-Force went to the Morlock tunnels, with the bodies of Sauron and Masque and threatened them, if they ever acted against X-Force again. After "Domino" was attacked, by Deadpool, Cable learned that she was working for Tolliver and formed a plan, to fake their deaths. Before the base was detonated, X-Force was attacked, by Weapon P.R.I.M.E., and "Domino" reset the timer, detonating the base early, separating Cable from his squad. Angry at "Domino's" betrayal, Cable teleported the both of them on Graymalkin and asked Professor to retrieve X-Force, but he was unable, due to the high electromagnetic signatures surrounding them, so Cable armed himself and took the fight to Tolliver. Arriving at Tolliver's base, Cable shot Pico Halfghanagan and found the true Domino, in chains. The impostor Domino was revealed to be Copycat and Domino had been in captivity for over a year. After rescuing Domino, the pair battled Deadpool and Tolliver was seemingly killed in a helicopter explosion. As he teleported away, Cable requested Domino to track down X-Force.

Cable resurfaced to stop the Mutant Liberation Front, in a Parisian museum, while killing Sumo. The MLF was sent to gather an ancient sword. After deducing that the MLF would return, Cable ambushed them and shot-off Reaper's hands. Cable returned to his Safehouse 14, outside of Davosdorf, Switzerland, and was attacked, by Kane, who showed him a hologram of Stryfe taking-off his mask to reveal Cable's face. Cable assured Kane that he had never seen Stryfe without his mask and was unaware of the connection. The two worked together and planned to track Stryfe. Later, in the Yucatan jungle, just outside of Cancun, Stryfe led Cable and Kane into a trap and grabbed Kane from behind again. Stryfe took off his mask, revealing his face to Cable. Stryfe demanded Cable's Professor, as it belonged to Apocalypse, in exchange for Kane. Cable agreed to trade, after Kane was released. After Stryfe released Kane, Cable showed him a CD and then burned it. After a brief battle, Cable grabbed Kane and they teleported away. Cable took Kane to Applecrust, in the future, where they were able to enhance his cybernetic prosthetics.

PERSONALITY:

   Cable is a man out of time... The timeline where he was raised, was constant battle after battle and he is a soldier first and foremost. This time of superhero's clash with what he is used to as Nathan is fine with killing if it suits the greater good. He is also passionate for what he believes and will try and find a cause for the world to fight, even if that is himself. Every once and awhile he can show a humorous side as well...

Cable: Do you get it yet? I did not turn myself into everything I've always stood against -- make myself a God-- just to come up short! You don't get it-- you're practically immortal -- I don't have that luxury! I've been from the future to the past and back again-- but I've run out of time!
[Cable strikes down the Surfer]
Cable: Why are you doing this? Why can't you see how important this is to me?
Silver Surfer: I see your passion.
[He blasts Cable's arm off, leaving him for dead]
Silver Surfer: Passion begets hunger. Hunger consumes worlds.



Irene: And speaking of... does it make sense for you to always be shedding your clothes around me?
Cable: I'm sorry. In my future, soldiers of both sexes fought, bathed and dressed side by side.
Irene: Well, let's hope the evangelicals win this one...
Cable: What was that?
Irene: Nothing.



Domino: You know the others make fun of you for that.
Cable: For what?
Domino: The 'know-it-all' Mr. Mystery Man from the future B.S.
Cable: Eventually, the joke will be on them.
Domino: And when will that be?
Cable: When they find out I've been telling the truth.

EQUIPMENT:

   Weapons: Cable normally carries high-powered plasma rifles, explosives, a pair of knives, and a Psimitar as his weapons of choice.

      Captain America's Shield: In the late 37th-early 39th century, Nathan and Tetherblood lead a squad to obtain Captain America's Shield, which he then bore into many battles and used as a rallying point against Apocalypse.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, Stryfe, Tyler and other common X-Villains

Captain Britain

"I'll be your champion, now and forever. I'll be Captain Britain!"

CHARACTER NAME: Captain Britannia
REAL NAME: Malcolm Murdoch, succeeding Brian Braddock.
AGE: 32
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 1.92 meters (6'3")
WEIGHT: 108 kgs (240lbs)
AFFILIATION: Excalibur, Captain Britain Corps
FACE CLAIM: Idris Elba
APPEARANCE: Prior to the acquisition, Captain Britain was a young blonde-hair gentlemen. Currently he is a man of British-Ghanian descent by the name of Malcolm Murdoch.
POWERS/ABILITIES: He appears to have access to the full range of abilities granted by the amulet of right and the inherited mutation from Sir James Braddock  of the Otherworld.

• Superhuman Strength: While wearing his costume, Murdoch's strength is increased to high superhuman levels. At his peak, he's able to lift approximately 90 tons.
• Superhuman Stamina: Murdoch's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can exert himself physically for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
• Superhuman Durability: While wearing his costume, Murdoch's body is surrounded by an invisible force field that renders him highly resistant to physical injury. The field allows him to sustain powerful energy blasts, great impact forces such as bazooka shells or being repeatedly struck by superhumanly strong opponents, temperature extremes, and falls from great heights without being injured. However, repeated impacts from sufficiently powerful forces or weaponry will weaken and, eventually, penetrate the field. The field's density, however, is specially designed to allow oxygen and light to pass through it. This force field is now sustained by his own confidence.
• Superhuman Agility: Murdoch's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
  
• Superhuman Reflexes: Murdoch's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
  
• Superhuman Senses: Murdoch can purposely draw upon the energies that give him his other powers to temporarily increase the efficiency of his senses, enhancing them to superhuman levels. He can see objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than a normal human can. His hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing him to hear further than a human and to detect sounds normal humans can't.
  
• Flight: Murdoch can also channel these energies for the purpose of flying through the air at great speeds. At his peak, he is capable of surpassing the Speed of Sound, 770 miles per hour. The force field that grants him his superhuman durability enables him to withstand the rigors of traveling at such high velocities would have on human tissue without harm, as well as allowing him to breathe normally.
  
  • Energy beams
  pew pew
  

WEAKNESSES: Currently, Captain Britain's powers are based on his own confidence. The more he believes in himself and what he is doing, the stronger he is, and the less susceptible to damage he becomes. Formerly, Murdoch's powers were dependent upon his costume. If he wasn't wearing it, then he could not gain access to the interdimensional energies that granted him his powers. Also, though the force field protects him from conventional physical injury, it does leave him vulnerable to attack from "knock out" gases as they can pass through his force field as easily as oxygen can.

HISTORY:

Bio

The man known as Malcolm Murdoch is actually a mutant originating from South London, Murdoch's mutant abilities enables him to assimilate the memories, skills and whatever attributes of whoever he acquisitions into his being, though in the case of Brian Braddock, the former Captain Britain whose abilities he acquired most recently, Murdoch's own mutant abilities seemed to have "capped" since acquiring Braddock, meaning he needs to increase the size of his ram or delete something if he wants to download more files. In all likelihood, the man known as Brian Braddock is deceased, but he lives on within Murdoch.

A side-effect of his powers, Murdoch's own history becomes more muddled the more he integrates, because of this not much is known about his personal history. He is employed by a secret branch of the British government, that much is known. There are many conspiracies concerning how exactly Murdoch came to be Captain Britain, the most likely one is that Murdoch was assigned as a Reserve Captain Britain by certain powers, if for whatever reason Braddock was unable to perform his duties, simple as that. As such, Murdoch maintained a close "watchful" relationship with former Captain Britain, Brian Braddock.

PERSONALITY: Although Murdoch's mutant abilities allows him to retain the abilities and attributes of whoever he assimilates into his overall being, his innate personality for the most part remains the most dominant of all the personalities inhabiting his consciousness. Murdoch is very much a mis-mash of several personalities, some could say he has multiple personality disorder with his dominant personality being the one he was born with. Prior to being accepted into the British intelligence program, he wasn't exactly a model citizen, though he's mellowed out a bit with the introduction of Braddock and a few others to balance out and give perspective to his outlook of the world. At his core, Murdoch is a survivor and someone who adapts well under pressure. Explaining why it is that he was chosen to succeed the position of Captain Britain.
EQUIPMENT:
-Amulet of Right
-Excalibur
KNOWN ENEMIES: Baron Blood, Blackheart, Dracula, Doom, Juggernaut, Mordred, Morgan Le Faye.

A Captain Britain who isn't Brian Braddock?  :o Now that's gonna take some history rewriting for sure. 

I wish to echo the statement made by Miyaluca. Those are really good looking. I would love to have one in my signature once we get started.

Feel free to use the Domino one I posted, or PM me a link to an image, if you want another one used for her avatar. Just replacing the character image is no work at all.

Same goes for everyone: If someone wants an avatar done in a style like the ones posted earlier, PM me a link to the image you want used and specify what color you'd like for the border (or leave that to me if you can't decide).

[Sirian Eve]

Welcome Nubian :)

@Cassandra. I would like a avatar for Psylocke as well. Those images look real nice.

PM sent.

[Cassandra LeMay]

I'm working on Juggernaut at the moment yes.

Juggernaut is cool. And nice.



I mean, come on. How many bad guys would say "pleased to meet you" to the local good guy?

History
Shatterstar comes from Mojoworld (about a century in the future, as opposed to the Mojoverse which co-exists with the contemporary Earth dimension, making him a time traveler as well as a dimension-hopper) which is ruled by the alien tyrant Mojo V. There, Shatterstar was a slave, claiming to have had no parents, only a "gestation chamber." He possessed enhanced physical capabilities so he could serve as an arena gladiator, but it is unknown if his physical enhancements were the result of genetic engineering or extensions of his own physical mutation. It was once speculated that Shatterstar was made from some of the same genetic material as the X-Man Longshot who was artificially created on Mojoworld, as Beast has found that the two have some identical DNA.

Shatterstar learned the arts of battle as a warrior in arenas on Mojoworld, where he participated in combats staged for Mojo's television programs. It’s assumed it was here he developed his strong sense of honor and pride as a warrior, to combat the constant violence and death in his life. Eventually he escaped and joined the Cadre Alliance, the rebel group that sought to overthrow Mojo V's dictatorship. From there, he learned the Cadre’s language and began taking part in missions, one of which sent him back in time to find the X-Men and get their assistance in defeating Mojo.

Instead of finding the X-Men, Shatterstar was transported back in time to Earth at the point just before Cable reorganized the New Mutants into X-Force. He was found by the New Mutants destroying equipment in the Danger Room and when they went to stop him, he showed he was a skilled warrior but he was eventually beaten down by Cable. Eventually he explains where he came from and his reason for being around and so with Cable’s assurance that they would help him defeat Mojo, Shatterstar became a founding member of the new team.

X-Force was also where he first met Rictor, the pair have an off again on again bromance, though Shatterstar's naivety of the human condition currently leaves that in a standstill. After the fall of Magneto, Shatterstar has put more effort into working out, having been soundly trounced by Cable when the old mutant decided to test how far the X-Force had come since forming. Back at their camp, Camp Verde, Siryn had recently drunkenly come on to Shatterstar, though distracted at the time and not particularly needing the company, he rebuffed her. He holds a good friendship with Cable, both being mutants sent from the future to the past and have a good understanding of one another.

Known Enemies: Mojo, Spiral, X-Force villians.

Juggernaut is cool. And nice.



I mean, come on. How many bad guys would say "pleased to meet you" to the local good guy?

If it's alright, mind if I get one of those custom avatars as well?  :-)

[wander]

Always thought Stephen Lang would make a great Cable since I saw him Avatar, nice choice!  :-)

37 as his age though? Cable's gotta be around 48 and that's being generous with him...  XD

[Cassandra LeMay]

So I came up with a Captain Britain who's mutant abilities is to assimilate individuals whole, so in a sense he is Braddock. He has Braddock's experience and knowledge, that much is sure.  The more important question is, is he still Psylocke's brother?

I just don't see how this can work without creating a headache for other people. I am having a difficult enough time to think of ways how this character can be reconciled with the bios of Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Phoenix (my character), but what if someone wants to play Meggan (who happens to be Brian's girlfriend)?

It's not like there aren't ways around that, but perhaps I can PM you with some suggestions / ideas?

In the meantime, have an avatar.  ;D



(None of the Excalibur logos I found online really agreed with me so I cresated my own logo for some avatars I'm working on. I can use something else if this isn't to your liking.)

[Acula]

I suppose I should throw it out there that if anyone wants to plot something out with Rogue to let me know! :D

[Sirian Eve]

I'm not sure if Lois stated if this was an alternate version or nah, but let's see what she says.

Thanks for the avatar and do go ahead with whatever suggestions you may have.

[wander]

I'm not sure if Lois stated if this was an alternate version or nah, but let's see what she says.

So far the one big main deviation from the mainstream timeline I know is that the Legacy Virus isn't about, so Magik is still alive and a few other things likely changed from that main plot deviation. Lois has listed Longshot and Dazzler in the castlist, though both should be married in Mojoworld atm, which is partly why I took Shatterstar over his Papa. I'm placing things so far given the team line-ups at August 1993 as stated on comic release dates on the Marvel wiki.

I removed Shatterstar's teleportation power from his bio as he had not displayed it yet at this point, it was only afterwards when he returns to Mojoworld that he seemed to get it.

[Acula]

I'm not sure if Lois stated if this was an alternate version or nah, but let's see what she says.

Ok good, I'm glad it's being discussed because I was a bit confused. ^^;

[wander]

Yeah, I can pin down events at around June to August 1993 for the line-ups here.

The only puzzle is the inclusion of Warlock. He should have died in the episode with Cameron Hodge in Genosha, though he's listed as available here. He does come back in the Phalanx Covenant, though that seems to be after this space here, because line-ups change and people come and go to be different from who is listed here.

Anyway, I got Shatterstar up, I'll put Quicksilver up here sometime later.

[Sirian Eve]

Sounds good. :)

[Sasquatch421]

Always thought Stephen Lang would make a great Cable since I saw him Avatar, nice choice!  :-)

37 as his age though? Cable's gotta be around 48 and that's being generous with him...  XD

Shrugs... It's a place holder for now. If I remember correctly he's supposed to be around 15 to 18 years older the Scott. I was planning on changing it when we got a Cyclops sheet, I really didn't want to play the unknown card. Though given Cable's history I don't really think they really cared about birthday's and ages when it was a fight for their lives every day.

I like Stephen Lang as well, though I did see a lot of fan casts using Micheal Biehn.. Love the actor just not sure he'd make a great Cable... And I'm pretty sure I butchered his first name!

[Sirian Eve]

Loves on Pyslocke Avie <3

 

[Cassandra LeMay]

Thanks for the avatar and do go ahead with whatever suggestions you may have.

As we are talking continuity here anyway I might as well talk about it here. This way it will also be open for input from whoever wants to play Nightcrawler, given that he's a member of Excalibur.

As you said earlier that you know little about Captain Britain, I'll dig a bit into the background:

Captain Britain is empowered by a transdimensional interface and mystical powers. He might not even be a mutant in the strictest sense of the word. So how much anyone who can absorb mutant powers could copy his powers is an open question. Second, he is part of a multidimensional Captain Britain Corps created by Merlyn (and now run by Merlyn's daughter Roma, omniversal guardian of the universe). If Merlyn or Roma would allow someone to just take over the mantle of Captain britain without their say so is somewhat debateable in my opinion.

Excalibur chronology: At the point where I would like Phoenix to be, Phoenix has just returned to the team after one of those "almost kinda sorta dead" episodes X-Men seem so prone to.  ;) In the canon timeline she and the team travel to the alternate future she comes from and fight the Sentinels there. On the way back Captain Britain is lost in the timestream (and returns only later when Rachel/Phoenix exchanges places with him). Brian being lost to the timestream happens "off camera" in the comics. We are just told that it happens, but we are never shown it.

I think there is an opportunity there.

Two ways we might play this:

Brian Braddock is not lost in the timestream on the return journey of the team from the future, but rather is called away to Otherworld by Roma for some duties she wants/needs him to perform. Meggan could decide to go with him. Now, one option would be that Roma just endows someone with the Captain britain powers to defend the realm in Brian's abscence. The other would be that your Cap is a "temp" from another reality who has been chosen to fill in for Brian while he is gone, the main differenc ebeing that with the first option your character would be completely new to his powers, in the second option already being a member of the Corps and actually being displaced from his native reality.

Either way we would have the option of bringing in Meggan and/or the original Captain Britain at a later time, without changing their timelines too much.

And now that I think about it ... Option #3: Your Captain is a Captain Britain from another universe where almost the same events took place as they did in the 616 universe and during the time travel of the team the two Captains got sdwitched around by accident. Might stretch a few details of canon some more than the other options, but it could be fun to start a journey with one Cap, only to arrive back home with a different Captain. It could even explain some jumbled memories (if that's important to you), as both Captains might have exchanged memories when their lines crossed in the timestream.

[Juggtacular]

I knew I already had an app made for this. Saves me the trouble hahaha.

CODE NAME: The "Unstoppable" Juggernaut
REAL NAME: Cain Marko
AGE: 70's
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: About 8 feet tall, closer to 9
WEIGHT:  Variable, Usually 900lbs
AFFILIATION: Himself, Brotherhood
FACE CLAIM: Nathan Jones
APPEARANCE:


POWERS/ABILITIES:

Superhuman Strength: Cain's strength is vast. Simply put there is no known way to actually fully measure the full extent of his strength, and there may well be no limit as he seems to be as strong as necessary. He's knocked down a cosmic entity named "The Stranger" who is a match for Galactus and was 50 feet tall at the time. He's tangled with Hulk and Thor multiple times, and punched through dimensions.

Superhuman Durability: Cain's durability matches his strength and he can handle physical assaults from pretty much anybody, while giving as good as he gets.

Superhuman Stamina: Cain is powered solely by magic, so he has an unlimited amount of stamina, able to exert himself and fight as long as necessary. Furthermore, as he is fully sustained by magic, he is immortal, has no need to eat, sleep, breathe,  or drink(although he still can and does), and is immune to poisons and diseases as well.

Superhuman Speed: Once Cain gets moving, he can really build up some speed. His top speed isn't known, but he can run at least 600mph, although he usually has no reason to go that fast.

Mystical Powers: While Cain focuses almost primarily on physical combat, he does possess additional powers granted by Cyttorak. For example, the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak is a spell that binds people in nearly unbreakable metal shackles made of the same material as his own arm bands and helmet. Beyond that, he can fire off mystical beams of energy and more, although he mainly just blasts things.

Healing Factor: Should he be injured, Cain is capable of healing at an extraordinary rate. Once he was flayed down to a skeleton, and his anger actually kept him alive.

Force Field: This is more for convenience than actual need. Cain possesses the ability to erect a forcefield and expand it outward to cover his body or even a group around him. He mainly uses it in case he doesn't want something to touch him, but it proves useful if he wants to protect friends and teammates.

Unstoppable Force: As the Avatar of Cytorrak, Cain is the physical embodiment of Raw Power, and one of his greatest abilities is unstoppable momentum. Once he begins moving, there is almost nothing that can stop him. He can be slowed down, redirected, and momentarily halted. But once he begins on a path, the only person who can truly stop him, is him.

WEAKNESSES: Cain only has two known weaknesses. The first and foremost being telepathy and psionic intrusion. He has absolutely no defense from telepathic assault, and any decent telepath can take him out of a fight or turn him to their side with ease if they make it past his helmet. His second is ironically himself. A well known fact is that no outside force can stop the Juggernaut once he gets going. He can be slowed, but never stopped. If someone or something could slow him, and then suddenly move...well unstoppable momentum certainly has it's drawbacks.

HISTORY: Cain was born to Dr. Kurt Marko and Marjorie Marko. For the first few yeers of his life, everything was tolerable, but eventually his parents divorced, and with his father being too busy for work, and his mother off doing her own thing, he was sent to Boarding School. He got expelled from each and everyone one. And  by the time he came back, his mother had died and his father had remarried, and was now living with his new wife and her son in a mansion out in Westchester. Turns out dear old dad married his partners wife after he died during a research expedition. Sharon was loaded though, and Cain had a pretty good idea that that was why little Charlie got better treatment than him. Besides treating Charles like a king, Cain's father beat him mercilessly, which of course caused him to hate Charles even more. After it was discovered that Kurt only married Sharon for her money, she died from a broken heart.

Now Cain was stuck with his deadbeat dad, his step-brother, and a shitload of cash. During his early teen years, Cain got in an argument with his father over money of all things, and during that argument he accused Kurt of being behind his partners supposed accident. It turns out that it really was an accident, and while Kurt didn't cause it, he didn't save Xavier either. that got a rise out of dad, and another beating ensued. Finally, Cain got fed up and he tossed a few vials against the wall of his dad's lab; that was a bad idea though, since several volatile chemicals mixed and caused an explosion. Kurt saved Cain and Charles(who'd been eavesdropping at the door) from the fire, but died in the process.

He died from smoke inhalation, and his last words were a warning to Charles about his son. Even to the end he never had a nice thing to say about Cain. So unsurprisingly, Cain could care less that he was dead. Now it was just Cain and Charles, in a big ole house and a  bank account with more cash in it than either of them could ever spend. One day Cain got so pissed he got into a fight with Charles, but his little brother could read his mind and knew every move before he made it.

Needless to say, Cain's hate hadn't died down any, so he took all of the money left to him in the will and left. Well what happens when a guy full of rage and hatred is out on the streets; usually he turns to crime. In this case though, it was legal. All Cain was ever good at was fighting, and even with more money than he could count, he was bored and restless. He joined a mercenary operation and ended up in a third world gulag when the revolutionaries who hired him suffered a crushing defeat.

While imprisoned, he met a man named Black Tom Cassidy who revealed himself as a mutant and helped Cain escape. They became the best of friends. Years later Cain ended up serving in Korea, and in a seemingly cruel twist of fate, he and Charles were placed in the same unit. Things were going great until Command sent them into an obvious ambush just to try and gain some ground. They were outnumbered and outgunned; Cain had never been stupid, and he knew staying meant death.

He deserted and Charlie being the goodie goodie that he was, went to bring him back. Cain found himself in a huge cave that housed a temple of some sort. Little did he know it was the temple of Cyttorak. Once inside, a gigantic ruby drew his attention. If he made it back, he could sell that thing and get millions at least, as it seemed flawless and was bigger than his fist. It rested on the lap of an idol of Cyttorak, and Charles found him just as he lifted the gem and read the inscription on the altar.

"Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human Juggernaut!" A blinding flash of ruby light filled the temple, and when it faded, Cain stood transformed. Bigger, more powerful than ever. Before Charles even got to say anything, a mortar strike shook the cavern and caused the entire cave complex to collapse. Charles made it out, but Cain was buried under several thousand tons of rock and debris.

It took a few years, but he eventually dug his way out and hitched a cargo container back to the US. The first thing he did was seek out his brother, and he fought through all of his X-Men to get to him. He was the Juggernaut, and they couldn't stop him. But the Human Torch melted a portion of his helmet, and when they got it off, Charles put him in a psychically induced coma.

A series of events after that trapped Cain in the Crimson Cosmos, where simply by existing and being the avatar of Cyttorak, he unlocked mystical secrets that he never knew about his powers. While attempting to free himself, he wound up in Nightmare's dimension of dreams and helped Dr. Strange save the cosmic entity known as Eternity. After that, he attacked Eternity to force him to send him home, but was instead banished back to the Crimson Cosmos.

Eventually a scientist accidentally sent Hulk into the Crimson Cosmos and Juggernaut traded places with him in a specially designed Hulkbuster Cell. The machine malfunctioned and Hulk came back, and along with Juggernaut they escaped the facility. Only when Cain started terrorizing the people, he and Hulk got into a brawl.

Hulk caught him off guard and grabbed his helmet, and the force snapped the helmet off and sent Cain flying. Before he could come back for a rematch, Charles found him and once again put him into a coma. Later, he was freed and after a series of adventures ended up in New York where he battled Spider-Man. The web head couldn't beat him, but he tricked him into a deep pit of wet cement.

It took Cain months to tunnel his way out and he ended up causing immense structural damage under the East River(he'd later repair it as Captain Universe). Over the years Cain has been through a lot; constant fighting with the X-Men, crimes a plenty, he's even fought Gods and Monsters in Hulk and Thor several times.



PERSONALITY: Cain is a hard man, and that's from having a hard life. As a child, his father abused him, while at the same time treating his step-brother Charles like a prince. He eventually found out that his old man did it to suck up to Charlie's mom and get the  money she inherited from her husband when he "died".  It didn't make it any better, but the money he got when his own father died took away the sting...just a bit.

The constant abuse and neglect had two results; one being that Cain is for the most part mean as a defense mechanism. The other being that he has an intense hate for Xavier and anyone associated with him; well he used to. Recently he's finally come to terms with the fact that none of the pain in his youth was Charles fault, while all of the pain he caused Charlie was his own.

He respects strength more than anything, seeing as that's what he's all about; so if you can show him some kind of strength, he'll give you the time of day and not look down on you. If he thinks your a pansy, well you got a couple chances to prove him wrong.

EQUIPMENT: Crimson Cosmos Armor: Through a mental command, Cain can summon his mystical armor at any time around his body. The metal is made of an unknown composition, but it's found only in the Crimson Cosmos Dimension where Cyttorak makes his home. It is incredibly durable, and on the chance it is damaged, Cain can repair it with his magic.

Crimson Helmet: The highly identifiable helmet that Cain wears on his head is more than just a cosmetic choice, the metal wreaks hell on psionics of all kinds and even the most powerful telepath can't get through. It's also very durable, but can be damaged and destroyed.

KNOWN ENEMIES:  Charles Xavier/X-Men, Hulk, Thor, Cyttorak, Spider-Man, etc...

Character Name: Quicksilver
Real Name: Pietro Maximoff
Age: 30
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Height: 6'
Weight: 175lbs (79kg)
Affiliation: X-Factor (Government).
Face Claim: Aaron Taylor Johnson
Appearance:



Powers/Abilities

Speed Physiology: Pietro's body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. He metabolizes an estimated 95% of the caloric energy content of foodstuffs (normal humans use about 25%). The chemical processes of Quicksilver's musculature are so highly enhanced that his body does not generate fatigue poisons, the normal by-products of locomotion, which force the body to rest. Rather, his body constantly expels waste products during his accelerated respiration through exhalation. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently than those of a normal human being.
His tendons have the tensile strength of spring steel. His bones contain unknown materials significantly more durable than calcium to withstand the dynamic shocks of his feet touching the ground at speeds a human could never achieve or withstand. Quicksilver's practical reaction time is several times faster than a normal human's and the speed at which his brain processes information is heightened to a level commensurate with his bodily speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings while traveling at high velocities. Quicksilver's lachrymose is more viscous than normal, thus preventing rapid evaporation and replenishment of surface fluids on his eyeballs under the influence of high wind velocity to occlude his vision.

Superhuman Speed: He was originally capable of running faster than the speed of sound (770 miles per hour). He had sufficient energy reserves that enabled him to run at this average speed for an unknown amount of hours before reducing his speed to replenish his body's store of energy. Quicksilver has used his powers of acceleration for various feats. He has plucked an arrow out of the air from a standing start, and has dodged machine gun fire. He has created cyclone-like gusts of wind, which are able to knock a man off his feet. He is able to run across the Atlantic Ocean and to oversea continents without having to stop, run up the sides of buildings effortlessly, and also seems able to use some type of energy, comparing it to "his father's power".
After being captured by the High Evolutionary, where his powers were upgraded by Isotope E, his speeds have been increased until he was capable of easily reaching high supersonic speeds of Mach 4 (3,080 miles per hour), the true extent of his new speeds are unknown, though he has been observed outrunning Thor's lightning bolts, running from Tibet to Indonesia in a few seconds, and covering half the Earth's distance in 92 seconds. Though he has ran back and forth in time and created time displaced duplicates (which Stephen Hawking theorized to take speeds of 25,000,000 mph) it can be confirmed Quicksilver has moved at speeds faster than light.
No explanation has been given yet for his recent increase in speed. Quicksilver is also immune to the effects of friction, reduced oxygen up to a point where a human can no longer breathe, and impact upon his body while moving at super-speeds. He has traveled around the world by running on top of the ocean water and even ran all the way up Mount Everest without slowing down and went flying above cloud level as a result. He has recently shown the ability to shift his molecules through solid objects, and transport people at speeds greater than the speed of sound without injuring them.

Molecular Acceleration/Destabilization: Through the course of his life as a mutant, his super speed has granted him numerous abilities. One of the very peculiar ones was being able to vibrate his molecular structure at high speeds. Different writers used it for different things that were often absurd or completely ignored it. He has demonstrated the full effect which enables him to destabilize atomic matter by accelerating its molecules often causing it to fall apart or explode usually by touching it. It is unknown if he can do this from a distance like his nephew Thomas Shepherd. He also had the ability to fly for short periods of time.

Intangibility: Quicksilver also can use molecular destabilization to walk through solid objects.

Enhanced Durability: Quicksilver is capable of resisting tremendous impact forces that could easily crush and kill a human without suffering any serious external or internal injuries.

Superhuman Stamina: Quicksilver's physiology grants him greater stamina when compared to an ordinary human, allowing him to operate at peak capacity for at least several hours before he begins to grow tired.

Superhuman Agility: Quicksilver's physiology grants him superhuman agility being more flexible and having greater balance.

Superhuman Reflexes: Quicksilver is capable of reacting fast, because he's moving at superhuman speeds everything moves slower for him.

Superhuman Strength: Quicksilver possesses superhuman strength in his lower body as part of his body's adaptations for running. With his upper body he can lift (press) approximately 1000 pounds while his legs can press approximately 1 ton under optimal conditions.

Precognitive Immunity: It was believed that Quicksilver was invisible to Layla Miller's precognition (Perhaps due to his close relation to the Scarlet Witch). In fact, Layla Miller had no precognition abilities, and her knowledge was given to her by the older Layla Miller who had come back from the future. No explanation has been offered as far.     
   
Abilities
Quick Intellect: Pietro is able to think at great speeds, contrary to his impulsiveness. Because Quicksilver has a high speed of perception, telepaths often have difficulty using their abilities against him.

Skilled Combatant: He has been trained in martial arts and other forms of combat by Captain America making him an excellent fighter.

Weaknesses
Pietro, along with his sisters, appears to have inherited his father's propensity for mental illness and depression. Pietro has undergone mental breakdowns, episodes of mental illness, and severe depression.

History:
Pietro was born at the Wundagore base of the High Evolutionary, he and his twin sister Wanda were the children of Romani couple Django and Marya Maximoff. The High Evolutionary supposedly abducted the twins when they were babies and experimented on them, once he was disgusted with the results, he returned them to Wundagore, disguised as regular mutants.

As adolescents, Wanda and Pietro discovered that they had unusual superhuman abilities. When Django began to steal food to feed his starving family, enraged villagers attacked the Romani camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. The circumstances of their separation from their family were so traumatic that not until well into adulthood could they remembered anything but the barest details of their childhood. For the next few years Wanda and Pietro wandered central Europe, living off the land.

One day, Wanda accidentally caused a house to burst into flame through her hex powers, which she could not yet control. Superstitious townspeople began chasing her, thinking she was a witch. Despite Pietro's attempt to defend her, they were soon overpowered and were about to become victims of mob violence when Magneto came to their rescue. Magneto pressed them into service in his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, costumed them, and named them the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. For months they served Magneto out of a sense of obligation and fear of his reprisal. As members of the Brotherhood, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch aided Magneto in his terrorist campaigns against humanity and helped him combat the original members of the X-Men.

When Magneto was defeated by the overwhelming powers of the alien Stranger, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch quit the Brotherhood; the Stranger transported Magneto away from Earth, and the Maximoff twins returned to Transia. Pietro and Wanda sought refuge with the Avengers, a world-renowned team of super heroes. They were inducted along with Hawkeye to take the place of the charter members, who wished to take a leave of absence. This foursome was nicknamed "Cap's Kooky Quartet". At first it was looked upon as less capable than the previous roster, but defeating Kang the Conqueror, Doctor Doom, and other threats quickly proved their worth. Although the hot-tempered Quicksilver and Hawkeye often both rebelled against his orders, Avengers leader Captain America molded them into valuable team members.

Humanity's suspicion of mutants still rankled Quicksilver, and he briefly rejoined Magneto after the latter returned to Earth, compelling his sister to come with him. The X-Men and Avengers eventually defeated Magneto. The Scarlet Witch then began a quest to recover her powers by studying grimoires, with Quicksilver and the Toad supporting her. Her studies accidentally summoned extra-dimensional caudillo Arkon, who kidnapped the Witch to made her his bride, the Toad when he opposed, and then a number of Earth-born scientists in an attempt to use atomic power to save his own world Polemachus even by destroying Earth. Quicksilver gained the help of the Avengers to save his sister, the Avengers managed to save Polemachus without damaging Earth, Arkon ceased any further violence against Earth and renounced to the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch eventually resumed their membership with the Avengers. The Toad chose to remain at Polemachus.

Seriously injured during the Avengers' battle against the Sentinels, Quicksilver was taken to medical care by Crystal, a member of the royal family of the hidden race of Inhumans. Months passed before Quicksilver was well enough to contact his companions to tell them what had happened to him. During that time Quicksilver became romantically involved with Crystal, and the two married after a brief courtship. The Inhumans, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four attended the wedding, held in the Inhumans' refuge of Attilan, then located in the Himalayan Mountains.

Not long after the birth of his and Crystal's first child, Luna, Quicksilver learned the alleged truth about his parentage. Magneto had stumbled upon Bova and learned from her that Wanda and Pietro were supposedly his children. Confronting Quicksilver and his sister in Attilan with this revelation, Magneto apparently hoped to sway his children to rejoin his crusade against humanity. But Quicksilver denounced Magneto for his callous treatment of them when they were members of his Brotherhood, and refused to believe he had changed his ways. A man of action, Quicksilver volunteered his services to the head of the Inhumans' small militia and became an officer. During the period of his service, however, the Inhumans had no call for military activity.

Quicksilver's neglect of his wife led Crystal to become involved with another man. Learning of her infidelity, Quicksilver refused to forgive her and fled Attilan, vowing vengeance on her and all those he perceived as having wronged him. Unknown to anyone, however, Crystal's malevolent cousin Maximus was manipulating Quicksilver's mind, fanning Quicksilver's anger at Crystal into a rage directed against his former colleagues in the Avengers. Quicksilver framed the Avengers for treason, thereby turning the federal government against them until they cleared their names. Quicksilver also led the members of the android version of the criminal organization Zodiac against the Avengers, fought the Fantastic Four, and joined forces with various Soviet-era Communist operatives against the Avengers' West Coast division.

Eventually Maximus' control over Quicksilver's mind lapsed and Pietro ended his criminal ways. The Inhumans' monarch Black Bolt commanded that the reluctant Quicksilver reconcile with Crystal. Their initial attempts failed. Quicksilver unofficially joined the Avengers' West Coast branch for a time. Eventually Crystal took Luna to Earth and joined the Avengers, and Quicksilver shortly afterwards became a special operative of the United States government as part of its new, Havok-led version of X-Factor.

Recently Doc Samson did a psychological analysis on all the members of X-Factor. It was here that Quicksilver revealed his disdain of living in a world going in slow motion around him. And most recently was involved with the fighting of the Acolytes in Genosha. Later due to this conflict and the involvement of their child Luna as a hostage, Quicksilver and Crystal again attempted a reconciliation, but Crystal was romantically involved with the Black Knight, who saved Quicksilver's life after being near killed by Exodus, though Crystal was clearly thankful. Since this incident, Quicksilver has been debating where his priorities lie, with the team or with his admittedly estranged family.

Known Enemies: Quicksilver has lots of enemies... ^^;

[TamaRose]

Once lois tells us what reality we are in I will work on Jubes history.

[NubianLegend]

As we are talking continuity here anyway I might as well talk about it here. This way it will also be open for input from whoever wants to play Nightcrawler, given that he's a member of Excalibur.

As you said earlier that you know little about Captain Britain, I'll dig a bit into the background:

Captain Britain is empowered by a transdimensional interface and mystical powers. He might not even be a mutant in the strictest sense of the word. So how much anyone who can absorb mutant powers could copy his powers is an open question. Second, he is part of a multidimensional Captain Britain Corps created by Merlyn (and now run by Merlyn's daughter Roma, omniversal guardian of the universe). If Merlyn or Roma would allow someone to just take over the mantle of Captain britain without their say so is somewhat debateable in my opinion.

Excalibur chronology: At the point where I would like Phoenix to be, Phoenix has just returned to the team after one of those "almost kinda sorta dead" episodes X-Men seem so prone to.  ;) In the canon timeline she and the team travel to the alternate future she comes from and fight the Sentinels there. On the way back Captain Britain is lost in the timestream (and returns only later when Rachel/Phoenix exchanges places with him). Brian being lost to the timestream happens "off camera" in the comics. We are just told that it happens, but we are never shown it.

I think there is an opportunity there.

Two ways we might play this:

Brian Braddock is not lost in the timestream on the return journey of the team from the future, but rather is called away to Otherworld by Roma for some duties she wants/needs him to perform. Meggan could decide to go with him. Now, one option would be that Roma just endows someone with the Captain britain powers to defend the realm in Brian's abscence. The other would be that your Cap is a "temp" from another reality who has been chosen to fill in for Brian while he is gone, the main differenc ebeing that with the first option your character would be completely new to his powers, in the second option already being a member of the Corps and actually being displaced from his native reality.

Either way we would have the option of bringing in Meggan and/or the original Captain Britain at a later time, without changing their timelines too much.

And now that I think about it ... Option #3: Your Captain is a Captain Britain from another universe where almost the same events took place as they did in the 616 universe and during the time travel of the team the two Captains got sdwitched around by accident. Might stretch a few details of canon some more than the other options, but it could be fun to start a journey with one Cap, only to arrive back home with a different Captain. It could even explain some jumbled memories (if that's important to you), as both Captains might have exchanged memories when their lines crossed in the timestream.

I'm partial to the third option the most out of the three but we'll see what lois has to say on the matter. Personally, I think my explanation leaves little room for speculation as to the fate of Brian Braddock and the intangibles regarding his possible return. One character who was previously the mainstream representation of said feature is replaced by a new unknown character occupying the same role...but is distinctive from his predecessor in some regards. It happens all the time in comics. Ask ultimate peter parker. I think we should go with it, it makes for good writing material and interactions. if someone you know and loved was replaced. Wouldn't you have an opinion? It's a curveball but it's the good kind of curveball that makes stories worth reading.

It's just neater from a story perspective not to have to deal with another a Captain Britain somewhere else. I never explained in my bio how exactly Brian bought it, just that he's presumed dead due to the nature of Murdoch's carnivorous-like abilities, it's entirely possible that the Corps not only had a role in Brian's downfall, but had knowledge of Murdoch's existence and ulterior purpose, I spoke of a shadow branch of British government in my profile, and we can explore that in-story. Don't shy away from unknown, embrace the conspiracy. Now we have a blank slate to develop creatively from. Now we have intrigue. Now we have a mystery.

[Sirian Eve]

I personally like the idea of Malcolm Murdoch. Gives Psylocke a mission from the jump. With the exception of the rest of the Excalibur team she'll be knocking on his door wanting to know what exactly happened to her brother. I'm just debating on whether she should she hit first and ask questions later or be cordial about it.

Lol I wouldn't know..I'm a Marvel gal  ;) You know this.

[VoluptuousVixen]

To answer the running question it is the 616 universe we are playing in.

The events are set after the Stryfe and Apocalypse conflict. 

A week after to be exact.

In regards to the teams im thinking this.

Excalibur has temporarily disbanded. So Brain and Megan can have time to work on their relationship.
Kitty, Rachel and Kurt have decided to hop back over to America to visit the family after the Strife incident.

X-force for the most part is still in tact but under the leadership of Cannonball with Boomer, Sunspot, Siryn, Rictor, Feral going off to fight the good fight while Cable, Domino, Warpath and Shatterstar heal and lick their wounds at the school. A this point in the comics Cable stepped down to let Sam take leadership and the team all got new costumes. I feel it matches up canon wise with where the characters heads were at.
I think John Proudstar has issues to resolve with the X-men who he always blamed for the death of his brother.

X-factor is still functioning with the exception of Quicksilver who is in the process of separating from Crystal? Again that's your call.

SO far we are MISSING Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman and Nightcrlawer from the team. The members on E I reserved those characters for all have said no to playing them. SO they are available.

I dotn mind you playing more then one character (hell im doing it) but I think 3 is the max I can allow otherwise its too crowded.

I am worried about the game getting out of hand as others have a tendency to do on E, but lets all keep an eye on it.
I want you guys to keep me on my toes but also be supportive, sometimes a GM`S life can not be a friendly one.

SIRIAN EVE is my co GM and we will be plotting this out together.

Joking about silly videos aside, I should post a profile for Rachel, I suppose.



CHARACTER NAME: Phoenix
REAL NAME: Rachel "Ray" Summers
AGE: 22
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 5'7"
WEIGHT: 125lbs
AFFILIATION: Excalibur (founding member), formerly X-Men
FACE CLAIM: Bryce Dallas Howard
APPEARANCE:
 

POWERS/ABILITIES: Rachel inherited both powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities from her mother. As a telepath she is capable of reading minds, projecting her thoughts into the minds of others, linking several people together in telepathic communication, creating illusions by affecting what people believe to see, and firing mental blasts that can stun or cause pain. Her telekinetic abilities allow her to lift great loads, levitate and fly, create force fields and concussive blasts, and manipulate matter on a molecular level. Rachel is also capable of projecting her own mind or that of others into the time stream and to past or future realities where the consciousness of the traveler will either occupy the body of a close relative / alternate self or exist on the local astral plane.

In addition to her natural gifts, Rachel is the living embodiment of the Phoenix Force, allowing her to tap into a vast reservoir of cosmic power to enhance her already considerable mutant gifts. Drawing on the Phoenix Force, Rachel is (for example) capable of projecting not just her mind but her physical body through the time stream, survive and travel in the vacuum of space, and make the flight across the Atlantic in less than ten minutes (somewhere up of Mach 30).

On top of that, Rachel would be able to perform feats of truly cosmic proportions, if she decided to tap into the full potential of the Phoenix Force. The Phoenix itself is a tremendously powerful force, providing a huge reservoir of power, but the Phoenix also represents the lifeforce of the whole cosmos, including life yet to be born. Drawing on this yet-unrealized life force, Rachel could destroy the solar system with but a thought or stand up to the likes of Galactus (which the Phoenix has done a few times). But doing so would extinguish life that waits to be born, rob the cosmos of something that was supposed to be there, extinguish billions of potential lives. This is something she is unwilling to do, knowing full well the potential for destruction the Phoenix Force holds.

WEAKNESSES: After her time as a Hound under Ahab's control in her home reality, Rachel suffers from survivor's guilt, sometimes questioning why she, of all people, should have survived the ordeals of her native reality.
While Rachel is aware that Scott and Jean of Earth 616 are not her real parents, she very much feels like their daughter. A threat against her 'parents' (especially Jean) could be used against her.

HISTORY: Rachel is the daughter of Scott Summers and Jean Grey in another reality. She grew up in that world with the X-Men as her family, till the day Sentinels took over North America and killed most mutants. Rachel was captured and submitted to intense brainwashing and conditioning that turned her into a "Hound", a tracker used to hunt down (and occasionally kill) other mutants. But the conditioning didn't hold forever and after attacking the Hound Master, Ahab, Rachel was confined to a mutant concentration camp where she met Kate Pryde, an older version of Earth-616's Shadowcat. Together they hatched a plan for Rachel to send Kate's mind back into her younger self, to change the future, but when Kate returned, everything was the same (as she had traveled back not just into the past but also another reality). Trying to find out what had gone wrong, Rachel projected her own consciousness into the past. There the Phoenix found her and latched on to her before she traveled back into her own reality. When the Phoenix revealed itself to Kate Pryde, Kate begged it to help Rachel to a better life and the Phoenix agreed. During an assault on the Sentinel's headquarters by Kate and Rachel, Phoenix supercharged Rachel's powers and sent her back through time and reality to Earth 616, in the process suppressing some of her worst memories, to protect the young woman from her own past.

On Earth 616 Rachel ended up joining the X-Men for a time and became friends with that reality's Shadowcat, while her relationship with her "mother", Jean Grey, was somewhat strained (something for which Rachel still blames herself). (At the time the X-Men consisted of Rogue, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, and Storm.)

After some adventures with the X-Men, Rachel was captured by Mojo, who tried his best to brainwash her into being the next star attraction in one of his many shows, but Rachel managed to eventually overcome her conditioning, and, after six months in Mojoworld, managed to escape to Earth. There she ran into old friends Shadowcat and Nightcrawler, together with Captain Britain and Meggan. Together they defeated the warwolves Mojo had sent after her. After their victory Rachel propose the five of them form a new team to keep Charles Xavier's dream alive (as everyone then believed the X-Men had perished in a battle against the Adversary), and so Excalibur was born. At this point some of her memories of her home reality and Mojoworld were clouded, suppressed by the Phoenix for her own good, and her control over the Phoenix Force not always reliable. During her adventures with Excalibur Rachel eventually revealed her history to Jean Grey and Cyclops, leading to a strained relationship with Jean.

After several adventures with her new teammates, Rachel fought the ancient sorcerer Necrom, who had been trying to claim the Phoenix Force for himself since the Phoenix first attained sentience. After a hard-fought battle she defeated Necrom, but that victory cost her her own consciousness and shattered her mind and soul. The Phoenix, now bonded to Rachel stronger than ever, took her body into the far reaches of space, to give her mind time to heal and pull itself together. (At this point Charles Xavier tried to delve into her mind to see what was wrong with Rachel and, in a mind link established by Professor X, the Phoenix revealed herself and her full history to the Professor, Jean Grey, and Rachel's fellow founding members of Excalibur, i.e. Kurt, Kitty, Brian, Meggan, Charles, and Jean know all there is to know about Rachel's history up to that point.)

Eventually she was restored to full mental health and the spirit of the Phoenix left her, to resume its place as the embodiment of a natural force in the cosmic order of things, but leaving the raw power of the Phoenix Force still bonded to Rachel's body. At the same time the Phoenix also restored all the memories it had clouded or hidden from Rachel, for the first time in years leaving her very much her own true self.

Returning to her friends in Excalibur Rachel embraced the name Phoenix with all her heart and changed her costume to the red and gold one once worn by the Dark Phoenix, for (in her own words) "Green is really not my color. And you've got to admit, the Dark Phoenix may have been a threat to all life in the universe, but she had great taste in costumes".

PERSONALITY: Rachel can be both serious and fun-loving. While she doesn't suffer from frequent mood swings, she is prone to strong moods, both positive and negative. She can be playful, cocky, exuberant, but also withdrawn, blue, and serious. Her mind is very much her own, without any traces of false memories or past conditioning, but she has still to find herself, perhaps exactly because her mind has not always been completely her own for years. But one way or the other, Rachel is a firm believer in Xavier's dream of coexistence of humans and mutants.

EQUIPMENT: Nothing special.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Mojo (but the ugly slimeball hasn't made an attempt to get her back to his world in a while so perhaps he has lost interest). Various people and groups who might hold a grudge against the Phoenix Force. Excalibur's "rogues gallery", if only by association. (Arcade, Merlin (sometimes ally, sometimes manipulator, sometimes antagonist), Sat-Yr-9, among others)

RELATION WITH 'FAMILY' MEMBERS:

While not related to her in the strictest sense (Rachel being from an alternate timeline and all that jazz), there are people in this world that could be considered her family. (What follows can and will be edited as time goes by, depending on which character is in play and talk with their players.)

Cyclops: Good question. I have no real clue how he feels about Rachel, but he seems more focused on Nathan than his 'pseudo daughter' from all I can tell.

Jean Grey: When Jean learned that Rachel could be her daughter she instinctively rejected the girl, feeling that the existence of Rachel meant her own future was preordained. Eventually she realized that, by pushing Rachel away, she was making her own problems that of her 'daughter' and accepted her as her child, going as far as making her one of the very first people she told about her planned wedding with Scott. (Excalibur #74 – which is in the future of our current timeline, but it might give an indication where this could be going)

Cable / Nathan Grey: Rachel has a strong psychic bond with her half-brother Nathan, making her one of the very few telepaths who can connect with Cable and sense his presence. She feels that she should know Cable, but has not yet made the connection that he is an older version of baby Nathan.

Collosus

REAL NAME: Piotr Rasputin
AGE: 22
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'6" Normal, 7'5" Armored
WEIGHT: 250lbs Normal, 500lbs Armored
AFFILIATION: XMen
FACE CLAIM: Daniel Cudmore
APPEARANCE:

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Organic Steel Form: Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance. This substance resembling steel is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. (The longest time he has remained in armored form by choice so far has been five days). Once in his armored form he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form.

While in the armored state, Colossus possesses the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form. The conversion from flesh and bone to organic steel is accomplished by a psionic whole-brain interface with an ionic form of osmium, an extremely dense metal, located in another dimension. In willing the act of transformation, Colossus actually exchanges osmium atoms for his carbon atoms. The psionic interface with the other dimension re-creates all of Colossus's body in functionally similar organic ionic-osmium materials. The process by which Colossus gains additional mass from an unknown, perhaps extra-dimensional, force remains unknown. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted or not.

Superhuman Strength: After transforming into his armored state, Colossus possesses vast superhuman strength. As a teenager, he was sufficiently strong enough to be listed as a class 70. (This scale is only for comparisons between characters, and should not remotely be taken literally). However, as a fully mature adult, his strength has increased to the point that he is listed at exactly class 100. Class 100 strength means he's capable of lifting in excess of 100 tons.

Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Colossus' musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: In his armored form Colossus is invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, including that of a 155 millimeter Howitzer shell. He can survive extremes of temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 degrees Fahrenheit. He can survive a collision with a loaded, ten-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 4500 pounds of TNT. He can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body.

Skilled Painter: Peter is a highly skilled and talented artista.

Expert Combatant: Even though Peter has a gentle demeanor and personality, he is a skilled hand to hand combatant. He has also honed himself through years of combat training within the X-Men's Danger Room.

WEAKNESSES:
Just like all metal in the Marvel universe, Colossus's metal skin is vulnerable to the anti-metal Vibranium. Colossus instinctively turns back into his normal form when he comes into contact with something made of Vibranium. He can also be damaged when he is attacked by something made from or bonded with a stronger material (e.g. Wolverine's Adamantium bonded claws).

HISTORY:
Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin (Russian: Пётр "Питер" Николаевич Распутин) was born on the Soviet collective farm, called the Ust-Ordynski Collective, near Lake Baikal in Siberia. Piotr loved his brother, the famous cosmonaut Mikhail Rasputin, and his younger sister, Illyana Rasputin and would pass the time drawing or painting, as he was also a great artist. Piotr's superhuman powers emerged in adolescence. At first, Rasputin was content simply to use these powers to aid the other people of the Collective.

However, Rasputin was contacted by Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men, when Professor Xavier was organizing a new team of mutant X-Men to help him rescue the original X-Men from the sentient island of Krakoa. Rasputin agreed to leave the farm community in which he was born and raised to go to America with Prof. Xavier at his School for Gifted Youngsters. Prof. Xavier gave Rasputin the code name "Colossus" and Rasputin aided Prof. Xavier's other new recruits in their battle against Krakoa. After the battle was won, most of the original X-Men left the team. Rasputin remained in the United States with the new X-Men, Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Thunderbird, and Banshee, while the rest of his family stayed on the farm. The second group of X-Men were mostly adults and required no tutoring from Professor X, but trained in the use of their powers, in the Danger Room.

The X-Men later traveled to Muir Island to battle Proteus. They then battled the Hellfire Club Knights and the White Queen, where Piotr first met Kitty Pryde.

Piotr began a close relationship with Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Rasputin's family always remained in his thoughts. Shortly thereafter, a woman known as Miss Locke kidnapped many of the X-Men's loved ones to use as hostages in order to force the X-Men to aid her in freeing her employer, Arcade, from captivity by one of Doctor Doom's robots. Among her captives was Colossus's younger sister, Illyana, whom Locke had somehow kidnapped from the Siberian collective farm and transported to the United States. The X-Men freed Illyana from captivity, and she went to live with her brother Piotr at Prof. Xavier's mansion.

Later, the six year old Illyana was kidnapped by Belasco and the X-Men followed to Limbo where they rescued her. Due to her captivity in Limbo, where she spent years while only mere moments elapsed on Earth, Illyana returned to them thirteen.

Piotr and Kitty became close, though at the time, both were too shy to fully admit their feelings for each other. However, after surviving the threat by the alien Brood, Kitty and Peter grew closer and started to date, although Piotr was concerned about their age difference. Because of his relationship with Zsaji, Colossus broke up with Kitty. Piotr later fought Juggernaut in a bar-fight while drinking with Wolverine and battled the Dire Wraiths, where he learned that Illyana's time in Limbo had returned her a sorceress.

Not long after Piotr and Kitty broken up, he was injured and paralyzed by a Ravager named Riptide. It took months of healing and rehabilitation on Muir Island before he could turn back into his human form, and even longer before he was ready for action again. Action, which resulted in the world thinking he and the rest of the XMen had died, including his deal sister, Illyana, who'd turned to the dark arts to try to restore his life. That began a dark spiral for Illyana that eventually ended with her dead, as one of the first casualties of the Legacy Virus.

With Illyana's death, Piotr is left questioning his life's choices, wondering if all the fighting and pain have been worth it, if they'd had any meaning. For all his strength and power, he was unable to save his little sister and the world doesn't seem any better of a place than when he started. He's starting to feel that perhaps Magneto's been right all along.

PERSONALITY:
Piotr is a shy, self-effacing, modest and selfless young man. For himself, he only desires a rural life as a farmer and painter, preferably in the motherland - but Charles Xavier has entrusted him with a great burden. Piotr doesn't fight for himself, and in some ways considers he’s not worth fighting for - he fights for his friends and to defend innocents, especially children.His speech sometimes imply that he’s “not worthy” a stroke of luck or the pain of his friends - but this is because he considers himself but a minor piece of a great cause.

Piotr is a pure, good, untouchable soul and the voice of idealistic humanism among the X-Men. That he has killed came as a shock, especially to himself. This, combined with the deeply unfair deaths of his family, made for a lasting pain that never went away - Piotr can’t reconcile the harsh reality with his big hearted world view. He was, maybe, too much of a good soul for this world.

Colossus speaks in a somewhat formal, literary fashion, without contractions. What he says sometimes feels like a public speech by an idealistic politician, although thankfully he’s much, much briefer.

EQUIPMENT: Painting supplies.

KNOWN ENEMIES:

Colossus' enemies are those of the X-Men as a whole. He's not one of hold grudges himself. He rarely loses his temper, and when it does, it's a white hot flash that burns itself out quickly without lingering animosity.

[TamaRose]

Okay. I cut Jubes history down. Can someone tell me if it is better the way I have it now. Thanks!

[kckolbe]

Looks all right to me.  Not an expert on canon though

[Cassandra LeMay]

Okay. I cut Jubes history down. Can someone tell me if it is better the way I have it now. Thanks!

It looks alright to me, except for what may be a continuity problem in her bio:

The duo teamed up to fight Sentinels, Omega Red, Sabretooth, Sauron, and even seek revenge on Reno and Molokai for the murder of her parents.

This is mentioned for the Australia Base part, but it's only mentioned later in her bio that she learns the identity of her parents' killers - if I am not misreading things. How can she seek revenge on certain people when she didn't know then that they were the ones who killed her parents?

[Jag]

I know I had to flake out on the last X-Men game due to personal issues and overwhelming myself (apparently I can't handle more than one character).

If you'd be okay with it, I'd like to give being Toad a shot again. If not, I totally understand.

[Sirian Eve]

I don't see why not :)

Toad's Profile

CHARACTER NAME: Toad
REAL NAME: Mortimer Toynbee
AGE: 24
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 5'3''
WEIGHT: 169lbs
AFFILIATION: X-Men, Former Brotherhood

APPEARANCE





HISTORY

Mortimer Toynbee was born in York, England, and was quickly abandoned by his parents and spent many years in an orphanage, where he was constantly tormented by other children due to his ugliness and strangely shaped body (as his mutant appearance was present from birth). He was considered to be mentally inferior due to his extreme shyness and mild learning disabilities during his primary school years, though he was actually quite intelligent. He dropped out at an extremely early age and decided to fend for himself. Based on years of abuse and knowing full well he was a freak, Mortimer developed a severe inferiority complex, becoming servile to anyone that showed him the slightest bit of affection.

At sixteen, he met and lost his virginity to a prostitute. Like many weak minded men to women who treat them 'well', he thought she was in love with him. He spent weeks stealing things for her and eventually told her that he was in love with her. Such is common with these situations, she laughed him off. Toad can't remember exactly what happened, but he fled to the states when the papers stated that a prostitute's body had been found with her neck snapped. The marks around her neck showed that she'd been strangled by something long enough to wrap around without any breaks and squeezed. Fearing he'd done it, he ran.

He was recruited into Magneto's Brotherhood, becoming Magneto's sycophantic 'toady'. Toad believed that Magneto loved him like a son. Ignoring the fact that everyone treated him like a human shield. He has also developed a crush on Magneto's daughter, Wanda, and is seemingly oblivious to her either repulsion or complete lack of knowledge that he might even exist.

With the seeming downfall of Magneto, Toad is unsure of where he belongs any more.

Despite his many run ins with the X-Men and various other groups, he decided to swallow whatever form of little pride he had and offer himself up to them. It wasn't like he truly believed in the things Magneto always went on about, nor does he believe in what the X-Men does. He doesn't view himself as a member of the team, not truly, and doesn't expect other people to do so either. Most seem to understand that he just goes where he thinks he can survive.

Toad just wants to live and maybe even attempt to make up for some of the crimes in his past.

During moments of mental clarity, he seems well aware of what a horrible person he truly is and he pities himself.

PERSONALITY

Toad s a shrimpy, smart mouthed, weasely punk with extremely poor hygiene with a wise guy attitude, who thinks he's tough because of the thugs he hangs around with. He mouths off seemingly without care for the consequences, but he will cower like a worm if confronted about his talk. He likes to surround himself with stronger people, because it makes him feel powerful.

He tends to fall for women quickly. He will do anything for the woman that he is in love with. They tend to be the type of women that would never give him the time of day. Usually very tall, very beautiful, and very powerful. This stalkerish love is easily broken if the woman does something that he finds unattractive. Such things include becoming pregnant (not by him, of course), if he is used to seeing them dressing a certain way and they change it drastically, or if he sees her giving the affection he wants to another man.

For the most part, Toad is harmless in his servile complex and stalker tendencies. Most times, he is a yes-man and will not advance on his feelings for a girl. He mostly just wants to feel like he belongs somewhere and that people want him around.

Short tempered, talks a big game, easily submits to those who show minimal affection to him.

POWERS/ABILITIES
    Superhuman Leaping: Toad's primary mutant power is the ability to leap to heights and distances far greater than that of an ordinary human. He has a vertical leap of over 24 feet and a horizontal jump of approximately 36 feet in a single leap. No definite limit to his leaping ability is yet known and can likely increase with age and training. Although Toad usually stands in a crouching position, he can stand erect if he wishes, the crouching poisition allows him quicker leaping if the situation calls for it. His unusually flexible spine enables him to crouch continually without strain.

    Superhuman Stamina: Toad's muscles produce much less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him.

    Superhuman Agility: Toad's bodily coordination and balance are enhanced to levels that are beyond the human body's natural limits.
   
    Superhuman Durability: Toad's body is somewhat tougher and more resistant to physical injury than an ordinary human's. He can withstand impacts and physical trauma that would severely injure or kill an ordinary human with moderate discomfort.

    Super-Prehensile Tongue: Toad has the ability to extend his tongue up to 25 feet in distance and ensnare objects and people. His tongue is superhumanly strong to the extent that he once killed a man by ensnaring him with his tongue and squeezing him, causing the man to be crushed to death much like a snake constricting it's prey.

    Mind Alteration: Toad's super-prehensile tongue contains mind altering toxins bending a person's will so that they obey Toad's commands.

    Toxic Saliva: He is also able to spit a caustic phlegmatic substance.

    Paralytic Resin: His pores secrete a mucus resin that adheres to any surface and paralyzes the nervous systems of whatever it touches.

    Superhuman Respiratory System: He can also contain large amounts of air in his expanding cheeks and throat and expel it with enough force to knock someone off their feet. It is more useful for aquatic life than it is for fighting.

    Amphibian Control: Toad has demonstrated the ability to psionically communicate with amphibian life, such as frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders.

    Superhuman Strength: The Toad is superhumanly strong, primarily in his lower body, and is capable of leg pressing 3 tons. He possesses superhuman strength in his upper body as well, although to a much lower degree, and can lift about 1 ton.

WEAKNESSES

    Combat: Toad is not hand to hand combat trained. Much of his fighting is based on wildly kicking and spitting till his enemy is either worn down or he can get away.

    Mentality: Toad is very emotional and very mentally unstable. He talks to himself quite a bit.

    Agility: Lack of proper training makes his agility near useless.

    Durability: He is far from invulnerable and can be injured in ways similar to an ordinary human. For instance, he is not bulletproof and can be injured by weapons composed of conventional materials.

    Prehensile Tongue: While it's very slick and very strong, if the right person were able to grab hold of it, they would have control of him easily.

    Mind Alteration: Mental and emotional instabilities would suggest that the toxin he uses to control other people affects him as well. The degree of control he has over the person he uses it on is minimal and it generally only works on people as weak willed as himself.

    Paralytic Resin: The resin he produces quickly wears off and does not prevent mutants from using their own abilities (such as Scott's eyes, Jean's powers, or even Rogue's if he were to touch her while she was affected).

    Superhuman Respiratory System: The force the wind created is not more than enough to knock an average sized person off their feet.

    Amphibian Control: Cannot control them once they are about half a mile away from him.

EQUIPMENT

None.

OTHER

Despite his social awkwardness and seeming lack of intelligence, Toad is capable of understanding and utilizing advanced, even alien, technology. He is, however, unable to build it himself.

Toad has always had an unstable mutation, thanks to his infancy in the Black Womb Project. He is unaware of the experiments done to him.

He has an extreme disliking of mutants who have physical mutations like his own (Nightcrawler, Beast, and the like), but seem to have 'happier' lives than he does or have more friends than he does. Jealousy.

Toad is more intelligent than most realize, but it has it's limitations. While he could build complicated machinery and even use it, he has no skill in advancing it to a more efficient machine and no skill to design something on his own.

Let me know what I need to change or if I should have him somewhere other than with the X-Men or what not. First drafts usually need work for me. >.<

[kckolbe]

Could you get a RL image for his face?

[Jag]

I'll see what I can find, but I wasn't fond of his film appearances and I can't think of any models that I normally use that would work for it.

I'll see what I can come up with.

If you need any help let me know I'm pretty good with pictures. :)

[kckolbe]

Partially a joke, but this has potential:

[Jag]

Nice, but too cute. >.<

I would prefer someone less handsome. I was going to go with Doug Jones, cause he's a contortionist...but he shows his age (he's 55) very much without his costumes and make up (Abe from Hellboy, Silver Surfer, Fawn in Pan's Labyrinth). Then I thought about Alan Cumming, but I find him far too attractive.

I need someone, for lack of a better term, ugly. Lanky, thin, unattractive, and unconventional.

I know we have a thread somewhere for 'unusual characteristic' actors and such. Just need to dig it up. It started with Alan Rickman. >.<

I'll find someone. ^^

[kckolbe]

Didn't expect you to go for it, but that scene made me laugh and I wanted to share it.

Okay...not my first choice, but Paul Bettany does good crazy eyes.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

JK

[aorangi3]

Player Name: aorangi3
Superhero/villain: Wolverine
Real Name: James "Logan" Howlett
Age: Unknown
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Base of Operations: TBA
Powers:
Regenerative Healing Factor: Wolverine's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. He can regenerate greatly damaged or destroyed tissue with few seconds. Wolverine's accelerated healing powers have been commonly referred to as his mutant healing factor. The full extent and speed of Wolverine's healing factor isn't known. He has been shown to fully heal from numerous gunshot wounds, severe burns covering most of his body, and regenerate missing eyes within a matter of seconds. Among the more extreme depictions of his accelerated healing factor involves him having his skin, muscles, and internal organs incinerated from his skeleton only to fully regenerate the tissue within minutes. Adamantium plays a crucial role in the speed of Wolverine's healing as well because of the fact that it produces a poison that his immune system fights off regularly. It is said that without the adamantium, his healing rate increases. This power even amends psychological wounds inflicted as a result of traumatic experiences. However, Wolverine's healing powers force his mind to suppress the memories, sometimes resulting in amnesia. Wolverine sometimes calls this his mental scar tissue. Wolverine's healing factor has cured him from the mystical curse of the Werewolf after he had been bitten and turned into a werewolf and from vampirism; though it should be noted that the time it took to cure the Werewolf curse was longer than the time it took to cure him from vampirism, when he was infected with vampirism he had also been infected with nanites to temporarily deactivate his healing factor and use him as a 'booby-trap' on the vampires.

    Contaminant Immunity: Wolverine's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated from alcohol. S.H.I.E.L.D. once managed to keep Wolverine anesthetized by constantly pumping eighty milliliters of anesthetic a minute into his system.

    Disease Immunity: Wolverine's highly efficient immune system, which is part of his accelerated healing factor, renders him immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections.

    Delayed Aging: In addition, Wolverine's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Wolverine was born sometime during the late 19th Century. Although well over 100 years of age, Wolverine retains the health, appearance and physical vitality of a man in the physical prime of his life.

    Psionic Resistance: Due to a combination of his healing factor[citation needed] and Level 9 psi-shields implanted by Professor Charles Xavier, Wolverine's mind is highly resistant to telepathic assault and probing.
    Super Condition: Wolverine's healing factor also affects a number of his physical attributes by increasing them to superhuman levels.
        Superhuman Strength: Wolverine's mutant healing factor enables him to push his muscles beyond the natural limits of the human body without injury, granting him some degree of superhuman strength.
        Superhuman Stamina: Wolverine's mutant healing factor grants him high immunity against lactic acid and other fatigue toxins generated by his muscles during physical activity. Wolverine can sustain himself at peak capacity for several days. Wolverine has shown himself capable of fighting Arkady Rossovich (Omega Red) for over 24 hours, despite regular exposure to Omega Red's death spores. His lung capacity is at peak human level enabling him to hold breath for 6 minutes under water, making his lungs as healthy as human's lungs can get. And when his lungs stop working，he can maintain his life by cutaneous respiration （It can only maintain his basic life activities).
        Superhuman Durability: Wolverine possess superhuman durability. This is mostly because of his healing abilities and Adamantium Skeleton, which redistributes the force of blows dealt against. He has taken blows from Spider-Man on multiple occasions showing less than minimal discomfort, as well from a host of other much stronger characters such as Wonder-Man, Thor, Hulk, Thing, Skaar, Sebastian Shaw, and Kid Gladiator, who also had the advantage of have spiked knuckles. However, even without his Adamantium Skeleton, Wolverine does display a degree of superhuman durability. For example, he was hit by a jeep, and was unharmed. This is partially due to the fact that his skeleton, even without the Adamantium metal, is superhumanly durable.
        Superhuman Agility: Wolverine's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels far beyond the natural physical limits and capabilities of the finest human specimen. Wolverine's agility is sufficient to allow him to dodge multiple bullets. Other times, able to jump extremely high and evade several yards.
        Superhuman Reflexes: Wolverine's reflexes are similarly enhanced, they are also superior to those possessed by the finest human specimen and are equal to the likes of Steve Rogers' (Captain America) due to his superhumanly acute senses, although most of the time he relies highly on his regenerative healing factor.

Abilities:
Master Tactician: Though seemingly brutish, Wolverine is highly intelligent. When Forge monitored Wolverine's vitals during a Danger Room training session, he reported Logan's physical and mental state as "equivalent to an Olympic-level gymnast performing a Gold-medal-winning routine whilst simultaneously beating four chess computers in his head", which gives something of an idea of the level of sophistication and tactical processing Logan is capable of utilizing while in combat. He remembers Ogun teaching him Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Master Martial Artist: Due to his extensive training as a soldier, a CIA operative, a samurai and a member of the X-Men, Logan is an exceptional martial artist, with expertise in Japanese martial arts, and has mastered 15 forms of martial arts, including Israeli Special Forces Training. His extraordinary hand-to-hand combat ability makes him one of the finest combatants on Earth. He was able to keep up with both the Black Panther and the Iron Fist, both expert martial artists. He has also defeated various hand-to-hand experts without using his claws. He even has taught the Black Widow, Rogue, Storm, Colossus, Primal, Sunspot, Armor, Jubilee, and Shadowcat in hand-to-hand combat.

Expert Marksman: He is an expert marksman skilled in throwing weapons and firearms, but operates more efficiently without them.

Expert Swordsman: Logan is proficient in Japanese sword fighting having studied under Ogun.

Skilled Acrobat: He is skilled in gymnastics, acrobatics and aerials, but is not on the same scale as other fighters such as Captain America and Daredevil.

Advanced Covert Ops Expert: Due to his experience traveling the world and working for various government agencies, Wolverine is also a trained expert in multiple types of weapons, vehicles, computer systems, explosives, and assassination techniques. In the Weapon X comic he said: I can put six shots into a quarter... an' get change for the gum-machine.

Skilled Mechanic: Along with Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler), Wolverine has also been the mechanic of the X-Men's Blackbird jet for a long time.

Multi-lingual: A polyglot; Wolverine is fluent in many languages including English, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Farsi and Portuguese. Ogun taught him Japanese ideograms.
With his increased lifespan and journeys across the globe, he has been able to amass an intimate knowledge of many foreign customs and cultures. Once he saw a kabuki play of The 47 Ronin (Genroku Ch?shingura) and remarked how it was one of the finest kabuki troupes he had seen. His exploits have further endowed him with vast awareness of literature and philosophy.
Strength level
As a result of Wolverine's constant cellular regeneration and the additional weight and tensile strength of his skeleton he has some degree of superhuman strength enabling him to press somewhere in excess of 800 lbs but not more than 2 tons and he is able to place this strength in his strikes. The latest official handbook entry says that Wolverine is capable of lifting in excess of 800 lbs for brief periods due to his adamantium skeleton.

Weaknesses
Vulnerable Senses: Wolverine's only other "weakness" is the fact that his heightened senses can be taken advantage of. For instance, when he was fighting the Bruce Banner (Hulk), he was nearly killed by the Hulk's thunder claps due to his heightened sense of hearing.
Decapitation/Severe Spinal Damage: Professor X once stated that Wolverine could be killed if his head becomes separated from his body, causing his brain to be unable to send signals to the section(s) of his body that needs healing. Because of the addition of his adamantium-laced skeleton, however, the idea seems very unlikely.
Adamantium-related weaknesses:

    Adamantium Allotropes: Adamantium has thirteen different allotropes (variants) that are very unstable compared to adamantium because of their different molecular configurations and thus physical properties. Some have caused Wolverine to become dizzy or weak just by being in close contact with these adamantium specimens.

Reduced Buoyancy: The addition of nearly 100 pounds of Adamantium to his body makes it more difficult for Wolverine to swim. Namor stated that Wolverine is the worst swimmer which is later confirmed by Logan.

History:

Wolverine's History is long and varied

http://marvel.wikia.com/Wolverine_%28James_%22Logan%22_Howlett%29

Equipment:
Normally he wears a standard X-Men uniform or street clothes. His gloves often have grooves in the forearm so they do not tear when he unsheathes his claws.

Wolverine gets more "perks" every year.  His abilities used to be so straightforward.

That said, good on you for mentioning the downside of heightened senses and the swimming factor.

CHARACTER NAME: Cyclops
REAL NAME: Scott Summers
AGE: 29 (or a bit older. He should be older than most of the X-Men I’d think)
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'3
WEIGHT: 195
AFFILIATION: X-Men, original X-Factor
FACE CLAIM: James Marsden
APPEARANCE: Cyclops is a tall, lean, white male with brown hair who wears either a combat visor or ruby quartz glasses at all times.





POWERS/ABILITIES: Cyclops has the mutant ability to fire an incredibly powerful blast of concussive force through his eyes. Due to a head injury as a young boy, he can’t control the blasts without his visor or glasses. He is immune to both his own power and that of his brother, Havok. The blast can be a narrow beam or a wide sweep of energy. Scott can use it to move pool balls around on a table, or destroy a building. He’s actually injured the Hulk with his power.
   Cyclops has had many years of training with the X-Men. He is incredibly proficient with his optic blasts, rarely missing and able to deflect his attacks off many different targets in an impressive ricochet maneuver. He is a highly skilled hand to hand combatant, able to best many opponents without ever resorting to his powers. He can fight with his eyes closed (literally) and is often underestimated in this area.
   Scott is a skilled leader and tactician. He has led the X-Men for years, capable of meshing his teammates’ abilities into a unified combat force. Cyclops can assess a situation and come up with complex battle plans on the fly. He is also a skilled pilot.

WEAKNESSES: Cyclops’ biggest weakness is, of course, the uncontrollable nature of his power. He lives in constant fear of hurting someone with his blasts. Aside from his power, he is physically human, with no special powers to prevent him being hurt or allowing him to recover quickly. He is particularly devoted to Professor Xavier, a father figure to him and Jean Grey, his long-time love/girlfriend/fiance/wife, so threats against them would certainly provoke a reaction. It has been theorized that Scott has some kind of low-level “addiction” to telepathy, given that so many people in his life have had that ability (Xavier, Jean, Emma Frost).

HISTORY: (Scott has had a long, complicated history which has been retconned many times. This is the version I’m going with unless someone seriously objects). As a young boy, Scott was on a trip with father, Christopher, his mother, Katherine, and his younger brother Alex. Their plane was damaged by an alien ship from the Shi’ar Empire. Scott and Alex shared a parachute, believing their parents had died in the crash. Unknown to them, their parents were taken by the aliens. Katherine was killed and Christopher went on to eventually become Corsair of the Starjammers.
   Scott suffered a head injury in the landing, which is believed to be why he can’t control his powers. His brother Alex was soon adopted, but Scott grew up in an orphanage in Nebraska, far from Alaska where he’d lived before the accident. It was later revealed that during his childhood, Scott was watched over and experimented on by Mr. Sinister in various guises. Eventually, Scott left the orphanage, ending up in the care of Professor Charles Xavier. Scott was the first recruit for the X-Men, and groomed to be their leader by Xavier. Cyclops spent a long time as the field leader for the team, including after the membership changed when most of the old members left and the new team, including Sunfire, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Banshee came in.
   Scott had a long time love affair with his team-mate Marvel Girl, Jean Grey. They were a couple for a very long time, and he was devastated by her apparent death, and later her return as Phoenix, descent into Dark Phoenix, and death again. Some have joked that Jean’s tomb should have a revolving door on it. For a time, Scott was supplanted as team leader by Storm, which was even more impressive as she won the right to lead during a period when she had lost her powers. Scott encountered the Starjammers and learned his father had survived the accident all those years ago. They have a decent, but not close, relationship.
   Scott eventually met and fell in love with Madeline Pryor, who everyone was stunned to see looked exactly like Jean Grey. They eventually married, and Scott would come to learn she was a clone of Jean created by Mr. Sinister. They had a son, Nathan, who would be raised in the future as become Cable.  When Jean came back from the dead yet again, Scott and the original X-Men got back together as X-Factor, a company to “control” the “mutant problem” who were actually seeking to help emerging mutants with their powers. Eventually, Scott returned to the X-Men. He has spent the vast majority of his life serving on one version of the team or another, usually as leader.

PERSONALITY: Scott is often seen by others as serious and grim. He is very focused on being the best leader for the team he can, and living up to Xavier’s dream. He does have a sense of humor, but it’s often overshadowed by the more vocal jokesters like Beast, Iceman, and Nightcrawler. He is very loyal to the X-Men, who are essentially his family. He’s one of the few original members of the group who has never become a member of another team. He’s often the drill sergeant character that annoys much of the team, but he cares about his fellow heroes.

EQUIPMENT: Scott is never without his visor and/or ruby quartz glasses, frequently carrying a back up for them.

KNOWN ENEMIES: Mr. Sinsiter, Magneto, Apocolypse, Sentinels, and many many others over the years.

Wolverine gets more "perks" every year.  His abilities used to be so straightforward.

I think a part of the problem may be that at least some internet sites and encyclopedias try too hard to classify every single thing shown in the comics. Sometimes they seem to just overshoot the mark and you end up with lists of powers that should better be left as vague descriptions of how an already established power might be used.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the comics showed a telekinetic like Jean or Rachel tying their shoelaces with telekinesis. I wouldn't be surprised if one site or another didn't end up listing that as a "control over shoelaces" ability.  ;D

[Sirian Eve]

Alright teams.

So here is the rundown. After chatting a bit with Lois we decided that to get this party started we include the Weapon X-Program. Instead of having the average Magneto VS the X-Men stinkt, the primary antagonist of this story arc will be the federal government and secret government. Race relations will be high regarding mutants so pull out the protest banners. I wanted to know what everyone thought about  bringing in the sentinels?

Also who would like to volunteer to be kidnapped and experimented on?

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

[kckolbe]

I'm not a big fan of sentinels.  They seem ridiculously expensive and collateral damage-prone.  Personally, I'd prefer to see humans with some kind of technology. 

[Jag]

Paul Bettany..got love em.

I was going to pick

*sniggers* Oh Michael Keaton...*sniggers more*

Anyway...let me know if I need to work on Toad more or what not. ^^

[Cassandra LeMay]

I wanted to know what everyone thought about  bringing in the sentinels?

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

What sort of Sentinels are we talking here? They range from big, lumbering robots to super duper uber-foes like Nimrod. Or maybe I shouldn't ask because it might give too much away, but yeah, I'm okay with Sentinels being the main antagonists right now.

The one problem I have with Sentinels is them upgrading themselves in the middle of a fight. It always struck me as pretty idiotic to have the capacity to generate better defenses and better weapons only to kinda conjure that out of thin air in the middle of a fight. Why not right from the start? It's like they enter a fight with one hand tied behind their back, just so the writers can make them even more badass when the plot requires it. Nothing wrong with having a few tricks only reveal halfway through a fight, but for killer robots it makes absolutely no logical sense IMO. Upgrading and evolving between fights? Sure. In the middle of a fight? Not so sure about that.

[Sirian Eve]

The giant basic models is what I'm thinking will do the job. Though upgrading them later will sound very promising. The one's in the movie I think would be to powerful.

[Juggtacular]

Even as basic Sentinels are canon fodder, they're still plenty tough. No need to involve Bastion, Nimrod, or any of the Prime Sentinels yet. Or even the DoFP ones who are basically Mad Jim Jasper's "The Fury" but dumbed down a lot.

[Cassandra LeMay]

I think even remotely comparing the Fury with the Sentinels is apples and oranges country. The Fury is so out of this world it's not funny. I don't even want to think about it making an appearance. Give me a Nimrod or two any day, but not the Fury, please.

The power level comparison is vastly different, but not the concept between Fury, Nimrod, and DoFP movie Sentinels

"A robot that's power is to overcome any power thrown at it so it can kill you."

[Caradoc]

Sentinels can be fun. They're a great chance to cut loose on major powers and team work, as long as they're not the nearly infallible, could take out a country each.

What might be even more important than their power level, no matter how powerful they are, is who they are working for. In a way the Sentinels are just the manifestation of someone - or some government agency's - attitude towards mutants. That's where it gets really interersting in my opinion.

Makes sense to me. Sounds like we'll be getting heat from the government, or some shadowy branch thereof.

*Giggles at guys and comics*

Alright so this what I'm going to do. I'm going to create a NPC that will be in charge of the Sentinel Program, probably based out in the Nevada desert or something. That's where the facility that conducts highly illegal experiments will be. Our start date should be tomorrow (Monday). I'll get the threads up soon.

So once again I'll ask.

Who wants to get kidnapped during the Sentinel raid?

If you need someone, you can take Rogue, but she's going to be pretty violent and unhappy about being kidnapped.  ::)

Excellent. I'll put Rogue on the list. Now I need one or two more.

If character is approved, Toad always makes a good victim. *nods*

[kckolbe]

This actually helps his introduction to the X-Men be a little less awkward.

Logan makes a good prisoner if you want

[kckolbe]

I would love for that to be how Sean met Logan after all this time.

[Juggtacular]

And Logan can certainly take the punishment. At this period he's basically immortal due to his literal deal with the Angel of Death.

[Landshark]

Hello all. Lois invited me to come take a look see here and it seems like time for me to get back to a hero game. Have an idea for an OC so if he gets approved id have no problem with him being a captive. Easy way to intro him as I see it.
Ill get the sheet up in just a bit

[Jag]

This actually helps his introduction to the X-Men be a little less awkward.

He might be easy to snatch up, but he won't go quietly...and it'll probably be messy (spit and mucus and what not). ^__^

[Juggtacular]

I need to get Bishop written up.

[Landshark]

Hey Jagerin have you concidered Andy Serkis as a model...just curious.

CHARACTER NAME: Mr. Glass (or just Glass)
REAL NAME: Christopher Cartwright
AGE:27
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6’3
WEIGHT: 170 lbs
AFFILIATION: independent
FACE CLAIM: Stephen Thompson
APPEARANCE:



POWERS/ABILITIES:
Transmutation: Christopher has the ability upon touch to transform any solid material into glass. The larger the item the longer he must be in contact with it or he must move his hand over more of the object. Liquids are harder to affect due to their motion and gases cannot be affected at all.

He is a highly trained martial artist and acrobat but only in so far as to allow him to evade attacks and tumble instead of take a direct blow of any kind. Should he try to strike someone with any part of his body it would probably break so its out of the question.

He has global level skills in business and economics.

WEAKNESSES:
Osteogenesis imperfecta (Brittle bone disease) type 1: Christopher cannot take a hit like a normal person and must avoid doing most things that fall into the “rough and tumble” category. He has broken many bones over his life for one reason or another and as such needs his cane on most occasions. Low impact exercise is best and he cannot partake in many sports or activities. Healing such a break is a long process and very painful.

Albino: Though not a severe case he does have to worry about prolonged sun exposure and he does tend to stick out in a crowd.

HISTORY:
Being the son of Curtis Cartwright was going to be a tall order to fill but when Christopher was born with Osteogenesis imperfecta everyone assumed the apple had fallen to far from the tree. His father who was already horribly over protective minded made it a mission to find a cure for his son going so far as to use experimental drugs. It was one of these that finally triggered his mutation. Unlike most mutants who came into their abilities at puberty Christopher came into them full force at the age of 18 during a gene therapy session. He turned the needle the sheets most of the bed and the doctors first two fingers to glass. His fathers money swept it all under the rug but what he was couldn’t be ignored. Overnight he went from high priced private schools to higher priced private tutors. Ones that signed papers about never talking under penalty of jail time.

Over the next few years it became clear that Christopher wasn’t going to hide what he was. He hadn’t hidden being an albino or his ailment he wasn’t going to hide being a mutant. He is an openly known mutant, a fact that his father and The Cartwright Board of Directors are not very happy about. Still he has kept his nose clean and not flaunted his ability. When it became clear that he would never be allowed to take over the company he stepped aside but kept his 40% share he would inherit upon his fathers death. His current accounts keep him well taken care of allowing him to do pretty much whatever he wants….within reason. Now he wants what he sees on television. To be a mutant…in the open and doing something meaningful. The problem is…how?

PERSONALITY:
Christopher has learned to be humble. As such he is unlike most filthy rich pampered kids. He respects everyone for their skills be it a doorman who remembers his name or a political official who is true to his word. With Christopher what you see is what you get. Sure he keeps things to himself and rarely speaks just to hear himself talk but when he does you can guarantee its not just words. True to his word and easy to go with the flow, he might not be the leader of the group but he is the reason whats happening is happening usually.

EQUIPMENT:
Sonic Cane: Not a power but a piece of equipment. Christopher carries a smoked glass cane at all times. He needs it from time to time to walk but it is not actually glass. It is a space age polymer that is as strong as titanium. Inside is concealed a high frequency emitter that upon activation will shatter glass in a 30ft radius. It cannot be heard with normal human hearing. He can choose to focus the sound instead to one item touched with the tip of the cane. It only works on regular glass not bullet proof glass as it is a laminate. At best it would crack it. It would also work on china, pottery and the like. Should someone have animal or heightened hearing it could be very painful. He had it created when he learned just exactly what his powers could do.

Satellite cell phone, several cars, boats, planes, apartments, houses, and a small island with a bungalow on it and tons of money for whatever he needs.


KNOWN ENEMIES:
Technically : The Cartwright Board of Directors

Telekinetic Flight - She can fly using telekinesis.

WEAKNESSES: Her emotional personality can cause her to put other's well being above her own,

HISTORY:
The younger daughter of history professor John Grey and his wife Elaine, Jean Grey was 10 years old when her mutant telepathic powers first manifested after experiencing the emotions of a dying friend. Her parents took her to be treated by Professor Charles Xavier While Xavier treated Jean he also used her to fine tune his Cerebro machine. When Xavier introduced young Jean to the astral plane a part of her mind manifested as a Phoenix raptor and touched the mind of Scott Summers in the orphanage. Later, Xavier erected psychic shields in Jean’s mind to prevent her from using her telepathic powers until she was mature enough to control them.

Jean was a founding member of Xavier’s team of mutant trainees the X-Men as Marvel Girl. Upon a mission in outer space Jean was noticed by the Phoenix Force which took note of her unlimited potential. At this moment Jean had a vision of becoming the Phoenix but the vision faded from her memory as it ended. She soon fell in love with fellow student Scott Summers, and later would develop a strong attraction towards one of the team’s new recruits, the feral Wolverine.

After Jean and the X-Men defeated scientist Stephen Lang and his robotic Sentinels on his space station, the heroes escaped back to Earth in a shuttle through a lethal solar radiation storm. Dying from radiation poisoning, Jean was saved by the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force who created a duplicate body complete with memories and personality, absorbed a portion of her consciousness and cast her into suspended animation in a strange cocoon at the bottom of Jamaica Bay.

For months the Phoenix believed itself to be the real Jean and saved the universe by healing the M’Kraan Crystal. Mental manipulation by Mastermind caused Phoenix to go insane and become Dark Phoenix. Ultimately, the portion of Jean’s consciousness within Phoenix resurfaced, causing it to commit suicide. This portion of Jean Grey’s consciousness then journeyed to the afterlife to meet a manifestation of Death. Death explained the Phoenix Force to Jean, who now wore a White Phoenix costume, before this portion of her consciousness and residual Phoenix energy was sent to Jean’s original body in the cocoon, where it was rejected, and then to her clone, Madelyne Pryor.

Eventually, Jean was rescued from her stasis and, with the other original X-Men, formed a new team, X-Factor. Madelyne Pryor later died in a confrontation with Jean Grey in which Jean absorbed Madelyne’s and Phoenix’s personalities and memories and a spark of the Phoenix energy. While in battle with a Celestial on an alien world, Jean expelled this spark of energy and the personalities she had absorbed but kept faint impressions of their memories.

Now she’s back with the X-men and back to herself, trying to repair her relationship with Cyclopes as well as grow accustomed to see her supposed daughter Rachel Gray and accepting the fact that perhaps her future isn’t as pre-ordained as it seems.
PERSONALITY: Jean Grey is all about passion. She is passionate about her abilities, her friends and the caused the X-men fight for. She is extraordinarily empathetic, kind, and emotional to a fault at times. It had been said she embodies the compassion the X-Men stand for, reaching out to those who are scared or confused with little regards to her own well-being.
EQUIPMENT: Standard X-Men gear.
KNOWN ENEMIES: All known enemies of the X-Men and X-Factor.

CHARACTER NAME: Bishop
REAL NAME: Lucas Bishop
AGE: 26
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
HEIGHT: 6'6
WEIGHT: 275lbs
AFFILIATION: X-Men, Thieves Guild, Marauders
FACE CLAIM: Michael Jai White
APPEARANCE:


Bishop is a mountain of a man, and standing at 6'6, one of the tallest of the X-Men. He's 275lbs of solid muscle, not only because of his powers, but a life time of hard living, surviving, and fighting. He's a physical specimen. He has sharp brown eyes, although they tend to glow purple more often than not. He has an "M" branded over his right eye for Mutant.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Energy Manipulation - Bishop can absorb any of energy, including magic and psionic, directed toward him. The nature of his powers makes it difficult to damage him with any sort of attack, while also enabling him to work well with any energy-using teammates. Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength, speed, stamina and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability.

The upper limits of his ability to enhance his own physical abilities with absorbed energy is not exactly known but is well into the level of being super human. He is able to increase his physical attributes in a manner similar to Sebastian Shaw and Maverick. The energy that Bishop’s body generates is a unique form that is regularly discharged as purplish hued concussive blasts, but with concentration and effort can be converted to thermal or explosive blasts; he usually just sticks with the concussion beams though for ease of use.

It’s easiest to discharge the energy through his arms or fingers, but he has the ability to expel energy from his eyes, his mouth, or in an Omni-directional explosive type blast at the cost of draining all of his current energy. When absorbing energy from an outside source, Bishop can  can send it back in the same form he absorbed it in with the energy polarized. So beyond a return attack adding roughly 2x the force and power to the blast, Bishop is even able to use this method of attack to harm people usually immune to their own powers. This power is passive, allowing Bishop to absorb energy at all times.

Healing Factor - – By expending stored energy, Bishop can speed up his body's recuperative processes a great deal. He won’t be regrowing limbs or large portions of flesh; he’s not Wolverine or anything like that. However, he is able to mend broken bones, heal bruises, and repair things like puncture wounds much faster than a human.

Temporal-Spatial Awareness - A power he seems to have inherited from his as of now unknown Great Grandfather Gateway, as well as having absorbed amounts of chronal energy when traveling back through time; Bishop always knows what time it is in accordance to his location, and he also knows his exact location at any time, even when asleep.

Energy Enhanced Attributes - At his normal levels, Bishop isn’t that much more impressive than a human in peak physical condition, but he is past that limit, if only slightly. He can comfortably bench around 550lbs, run a little under 30mph for short periods of time, things like that. Depending on the strength of an outside charge though, his strength has increased from as little to a hundred or so pounds above average, to well into the tons range where even people with enhanced durability have been staggered by blows from him. His durability is also augmented, which again dependent on the charge can be barely noticeable, or to near invulnerability. Speed and reflexes are likely supercharged, and a good charge has given Bishop the ability to dodge and even snatch bullets out of the air mid-flight.


SKILLS:

Bishop is a trained police officer, skilled in the homicide branch. Bishop has also had many years of armed and unarmed combat training; it has made him a devastating unarmed combatant, and a superb marksman with firearms, both from his own time, some of which he brought with him from the future when he originally arrived in our present, and also both heavy duty military and conventional guns and weapons of the present time.


WEAKNESSES: Some energy types are more difficult to absorb than others. Bishop can be overloaded by trying to absorb too much energy, though his upper limits are unknown, even to himself. Although he can absorb psionic energy from blasts or telekinetic attacks, Bishop is not immune to telepathic attacks, but his power sustains him and helps him to slow them down.

HISTORY: The mutant known only as Bishop was born in the 21st Century A.D. of alternate timeline Earth-1191 in which the mutant-hunting robots called the Sentinels had taken control of North America. In this timeline, Professor Charles Xavier and most of the members of the mutant team he founded, the X-Men, were killed by the Sentinels. Mutants were killed or were imprisoned within "mutant relocation camps."

Bishop and his sister Shard were both born in one of the "mutant relocation camps." Like other mutants they were branded with "M" tattoos over their right eyes for identification.

Eventually, "normal" human beings and mutants joined forces and overthrew the Sentinels in the "Summers Rebellion." However, "normal" humans still resisted coexistence with mutants, and radical terrorist groups of mutants, such as the Exhumes, made war on "normal" humans.

One of the veterans of the Summers Rebellion, a mutant named Hecat'e, stated that it was unacceptable for humans to hunt down criminal mutants. Therefore, she said mutants should police themselves. Hence, Hecat'e and other mutant veterans of the Summers Rebellion formed the Xavier Security Enforcers. The X.S.E was named after Charles Xavier in honor of his dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and "normal" humans. Hecat'e became the X.S.E's commanding officer.

Since their parents had apparently died, Bishop and Shard lived with their grandmother, who was herself a mutant, until she died. Their grandmother told them stories about the heroism of the X-Men and instructed them to follow Xavier's dream of peace between mutants and the rest of humanity.

One day, when Bishop and Shard were both still children, two X.S.E members were pursuing Virago, a member of the Exhumes, a radical group of mutants who hated "normal" humans. When Virago took Shard as a hostage, Bishop leaped onto Virago's back, making her release his sister. Infuriated, Virago was about to murder Bishop when Sureshot shot her dead. Until then, Bishop had regarded the X.S.E as his enemies and the Exhumes as heroes, but from then onward he wanted to join the X.S.E.

Bishop, Shard, and their grandmother's friend Hancock were attacked by criminal mutants called Billboy and Halftrack. The two criminals killed Hancock and were about to murder Shard. Bishop tried to save Shard, but it was two members of the X.S.E, Amazon and Recoil, who stopped Billboy and Halftrack.

Impressed by Bishop, Amazon and Recoil offered Bishop a position in the X.S.E. Bishop accepted on the condition that Shard be accepted in the X.S.E as well. By now Bishop's own superhuman power had manifested itself. Thus Bishop and Shard became cadets at the X.S.E Academy under Hecat'e's supervision. Among the other members of their class was Bishop's future enemy, Trevor Fitzroy.


Eventually, Bishop and Shard became officers of the X.S.E. Shard, however, became Bishop's commanding officer. Bishop contented himself with a lower rank so that he could work the streets alongside his friends and fellow X.S.E officers, Malcolm and Randall.

Some time after taking command of her own squad in the X.S.E., Shard fell victim to an ambush - set up by her criminal boyfriend Trevor Fitzroy - by the creatures known as Emplates. Turned into one of them, Shard was forced to kill mutants to sup their energy to survive. In a subsequent encounter with the X.S.E., Bishop was forced to kill his own sister rather than let her live as the monster she had become. Shard's essence was transferred into a holographic matrix projector that Bishop wore on his wrist.

Around this time Bishop discovered remnants of the X-Men: A garbled message from Jean Grey warning about a traitor. Bishop confronted the only known survivor who called himself the Witness. Bishop did not trust him and wondered if he was the traitor.


Fitzroy eventually turned criminal and was imprisoned. He broke free and escaped with other mutant criminals back through a time portal to the X-Men's own time. Bishop, Malcolm, and Randall followed, even though they were aware they had no means to return to their own time. The three eventually found and killed the criminals known as the 'Lifers', but Malcolm and Randall were killed and Bishop himself was severely wounded. He was taken to the Institute to recover. During the fight that followed, Bishop defeated Fitzroy moments before he could complete his quest.

While his methods initially caused conflict with Storm, not to mention his accusations towards Gambit, Bishop joined the X-Men. He tended to act brashly, such as shooting through walls rather than using the door when an intruder alarm sounded.



PERSONALITY:

Bishop is a man who wears his emotion on his sleeve, that’s right, emotion, singular. Most of the time the only emotion he exhibits is a mix of grumpiness and being pissed off. That’s not to say he doesn’t have any other emotions, it’s just saying that it’s pretty easy to gauge his mood on any given day. He also tends to be a strict, no-nonsense type of person who doesn’t take shit from anybody regardless of who they are or what they can do. Bishop does have a brighter side though, and from time to time he can be found joking and laughing with people who’ve earned his trust and he considers friends.

Bishop grew up in a Mutant Detention Camp; he was treated more like cattle than a person, and because of it he's grown to act according to that harsh treatment. He has strong standards, and an even stronger moral code, but he knows from personal experience that sometimes bad things have to be done in order for things to turn out right; he may not like making a decision like that, but he will if he has to.

Being at Cop for so long, and then coming to Xavier's has instilled a sense of selflessness in Lucas, a sense so strong that he’ll throw himself in front of a car to save a complete stranger without a second thought. He’s also honorable, or as honorable as a person can be in this day and age. He doesn’t believe in kicking a person while they’re down or cheating if he can help it; although that doesn’t mean he won’t fight dirty if it’ll help. He has a few anger management problems that he’s never been able to get over, but he has enough discipline to keep them in check most of the time.

EQUIPMENT:

X.S.E Arsenal - When Bishop followed Fitzroy into the past, he brought a small arsenal of X.S.E issue weapons with him. The arsenal contains several energy firearms, all able to be recharged with Bishop's own energy.

HUD Glasses - A pair of sunglasses that feed Bishop information as well as let him communicate with members of the X-Men after synching them to this time and X-Men's database.

Full disclosure: I think Michael Jai White ruined what could have been an AMAZING Mortal Kombat series.  He seems perfect for this, though.

Oooo I'm liking..Micheal Jai White is le bomb.

Move him on over to the completed profiles.  Him and Betsy will get along just fine.

Full disclosure: I think Michael Jai White ruined what could have been an AMAZING Mortal Kombat series.  He seems perfect for this, though.

I don't think he was the problem, as MJW is one of this era's kung-fu/action movie super stars. It was that the second season of MK was so cluttered and rushed. They had Jax/Kano/Sonya's origin story, with Jax and Kano not getting their cybernetics yet. They had the cyber ninjas. Had Outworld. A new Baraka and the Tarkatans, Kenji, Ermac, etc... They were mixing realistic and fantasy in ways that just felt really forced.

I still enjoyed it, but the entire thing could have been done better.

And since Bishop and Betsy will get along fine, he might stroll on down to the Danger Room. :)

Are you talking about Mortal Kombat: Legacy?  Because I thought he was in Season 1, episode 1 of that.

[Sasquatch421]

CHARACTER NAME: Sunpyre
REAL NAME: Leyu Yoshida
AGE: 19
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Lesbian
HEIGHT: 5' 7"
WEIGHT: 125 lbs.
AFFILIATION: Independent
FACE CLAIM: Yuna Ito


APPEARANCE:



POWERS/ABILITIES:
    Solar Flare: Leyu's mutant powers enable her to absorb solar and other radiation to generate the process of ionized matter (usually air) through a mentally-triggered unknown biochemical process so that it is converted to plasma, the superheated state of matter. Plasma is the state in which matter making up the sun exists; hence, Sunpyre refers to her projecting "solar fire". Hence she can sheath her body in flame.

   Flight: She can use her powers to create super-heated air currents which push her forward through the air, enabling her to fly. Sometimes this super-heated air is visible as a trail of flame behind Sunpyre. The upper limit to the speed Sunpyre can achieve in flight is not yet known, although it is known to be greater than that of the Angel, who can reach 150 miles per hour.

   Plasma Blasts: She also has the ability to project the flames she generates as powerful blasts of energy.

   Plasma Emanation: Sunpyre can generate plasma temperatures which match those that can be generated by the Human Torch, reaching about 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit at maximum level. She can also use her power in a massive blast similar to Johnny Storm's "Nova Burst". However, Leyu has much more control over the area of effect, enough to where one person may feel like they have been sunbathing all day to total incineration of another target.

   Heat Signature Sense: Ability to sense beings by the heat signature that they give off.

   Plasma Shield: Ability to manipulate the plasma around her to form an aura that can melt incoming bullets are stave off other attacks.

   Solar Shielding Psi-field: She is protected from the radiation she emits by a short-range psionic force field which automatically comes into being whenever air friction, and also prevents excessive amounts of light from the plasma from reaching her eyes so as to blind or damage them. Sunpyre's body emits a protective field whenever she uses her powers. However, it is speculated that she can generate power in excess of her natural protection.

Abilities:
•   Languages: As with most well-educated children of Japan, Leyu is multi-lingual. Japanese is her native tongue, but she is also quite fluent in both spoken and written English.

•   Combat: Leyu is a moderately skilled combatant. She has taken several years of karate, as expected by her family. And she has learned how to use her powers to fight. Of course, she has nowhere near the experience of her brother, but that's part of the problem, isn't it?

•   Art: Leyu is moderately skilled in several traditional Japanese art forms, including painting, pottery, bonsai, flower arrangement, and calligraphy. These were expected of her, and she learned how. She is not exceptional at any of them.


WEAKNESSES:
  Without using her powers Leyu is simply mortal… She has no defenses against telepaths either.

HISTORY:

   Leyu is Shiro Yoshida's younger sister. It seems that their father Saburo remarried after the death of Shiro's mother. At some unknown time it was revealed that Leyu possessed similar mutant powers. She took the identity of Sunpyre in her own mind at least as her family looked upon her brother more favorably. The need to prove herself drove her to swipe Sunfire’s costume a couple of times to try and prove herself, but that didn’t go as planed. When her father found out he voiced his displeasure and claimed that no matter how hard she tried, Leyu could never measure up to her brother.

It was also around this time when she came to the conclusion that she was a lesbian. Leyu had suspected this as men just never did anything for her, but a failed date finally confermed it. Knowing how her family would react Leyu repressed it and went about her days trying to be the daughter they wanted. She happened to find out though that one of her classmates was gay as well, so they started a relationship. This eased Leyu’s mind somewhat as she had someone, that she could be herself with.

As everything does this came to an end in a fight between her and her parents. Leyu came out and told them that she was lesbian. Her family rejected her and all but formerly disowned her and her lover rejected Leyu as well as the girl had no plans on ever coming out. With nowhere to go now Leyu heads for the United States, where she meets someone that brings a change to her life.

PERSONALITY:

•   Inferiority Complex: Leyu has spent her entire life with it drilled into her that she just can't measure up. Second born, and a daughter at that, she could never compare to her brother, the great hero of the family and of the Japanese people. Nothing she did was ever good enough to earn the sort of praise that seemed to be her brother's birthright for the asking. She has a major chip on her shoulder about this. In the past, this has caused her to emulate her brother in her heroic persona, believing she needs to be harder and haughtier, to demand the respect she never seems to get from the people most important to her. Naturally, that hasn't worked out very well; even people outside the family largely view Sunpyre as an arrogant and redundant follow-on to Sunfire.

•   Eager to Please: Desperate for acceptance and positive feedback in her life, Leyu has always been eager to please those in authority over her, doing whatever they demanded, no matter how unreasonable. Even when Leyu is rebelling against their authority, part of her is desperately looking for their acceptance and praise. If someone in authority were to actually give her that kind of positive feedback, it could very well change her life.

•   Struggling Conformist: The only way to avoid her parents' glowering displeasure for most of her life has been to conform to the ideals they demanded of her, as a very traditional Japanese family. She was to be a polite, well-behaved, proper and traditional Japanese girl, obedient to her family, accomplished academically without ever challenging the family's patriarchs. She has always sought to obey this ideal, even hiding her sexuality over time for fear of their rejection and displeasure. And honestly having faced that displeasure and rejection, Leyu is struggling just to stay mentally afloat. She will likely revert back to conformist, obedient behaviors in hopes of making a new place for herself, even as part of her longs - begs - to rebel and forge her own path, everyone else's rules be damned.

•   Hidden Temper: Leyu has quite the temper, though she has spent most of her life keeping it under very rigid check, almost never letting it out. Her few forays in her costumed persona as Sunpyre were really her only outlets for her temper, and they were far between. With the rejections she has faced, Leyu's temper is that much stronger, and she is struggling that much harder to keep it bottled up. That temper pushed her to finally confess to her family, and look how that turned out!

•   Seeking Answers: Leyu has a very curious mind, always looking for answers. She wants to understand why it is that her father could never love her the way he did Shiro. She wants to understand why it is she too was born with the powers Shiro has mastered and embodied to the Japanese people. She wants to understand why it is she was born lesbian, because she is sure she would never have chosen this for herself. All of this fuels her scientific efforts, and her life.

•   Seeking Acceptance / Validation: What Leyu wants most in this world is to be accepted for who she is, to have her sense of self and her choices validated by others. If she could find that, it would literally change her life.

So, here's my original energy generating character. Any similarity with Bishop is pure coincidence, I swear.

CHARACTER NAME: Capacitor
REAL NAME: Rachel Bright
AGE: 22
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Lesbian, possibly bi-curious.
HEIGHT: 5' 6"
WEIGHT: 130 lbs
AFFILIATION: X-Men
FACE CLAIM: Kim Petras

APPEARANCE:


Rachel is a tall girl with long golden hair and golden eyes, that glow bright when she gets energized. She also hardly has a pound of fat on her body. She likes to look girly, but casual, and often carries a guitar around. In combat, she wears the trademark yellow and blue X-Men uniform, and carries a deadly staff.

POWERS:

• Rachel constantly generates and stores the same kind of photonic energy used by Ms. Marvel; contrary to her, though, she can't absorb energy from the outside. While she accumulates energy, her eyes start to glow bright gold, and that can be used as a visual indicator of her reserves. Over the past few years, the amount of energy Rachel can store has slowly been increasing, as well as her control on its release, and while there must be some upper limit to her capabilities she doesn't seem to have reached it yet.
• Capacitor's energized body gives her a boost to toughness and strength proportionate to her current reserves. Near full charge, she's boosted to almost brick-level power.
• Capacitor can also discharge energy in the outside environment in different ways; as bolts of golden lightning, as a radial discharge, or directly burn whatever she's touching. She has good control on her lightning attacks and they only consume a modicum of energy, but her radial and whole-body bursts are very energy-consuming.

ABILITIES: Rachel is a proficient guitar player. She also received Martial Arts training and she can fight proficiently with her staff as well as unarmed, taking full advantage of her enhanced strength. She was a good student with decent grades, and is on the smart side.

WEAKNESSES:

• Capacitor generates energy through metabolism, meaning all her energy production relies on food. Rachel needs to eat much more than a regular human to keep up with her energy generation capabilities. While she likes to joke that she "doesn't need to worry about getting fat," she is actually at a serious risk of starvation and death if deprived of food for even a day.
• Capacitor can only store so much energy before overloading. When she goes over her threshold, she explosively and uncontrollably discharges her energy in a single radial blast. While Rachel has learned to manage her reserves, and very rarely overloads these days, this happened often in the first months following her powers manifesting, when she had little understanding of them and her storage capabilities were small. When she's getting close to her maximum energy storing capability her skin starts to itch uncomfortably.

HISTORY:

Rachel was born Richard Bright in London, her father is a construction worker and her mother a shop clerk. She has two older siblings, Kate (26) and Gregory (29). As a kid, Richard was quiet and prone to daydreaming, he always felt he was different from other people his age but he couldn't understand why.

The first clues that Richard wasn't meant to be a boy came in his late childhood, when he always stuck with girls and would often follow them around and play with them rather than with boys, even when they played decidedly feminine games. His parents didn't care much for what they considered "quirks" as long as their son kept having good grades at school. Richard had grown particularly fond of his sister Kate, taking her as a role model, admiring her looks and clothes, and when he started to develop during puberty Richard realized he hated the way his body was changing, and that he wanted to be a girl.

Richard had always been smart, and did his research, finding out there were people who felt just like him and that there was a way for him to become a girl – at least mostly.
He confessed his feelings to Kate, who was very supportive and helped him develop his feminine side. In a few months, Richard didn't exist anymore for Kate, having grown into a little sister, Rachel. Richard became a staple part of Kate's circle of friends, who probably suspected there was something about his sexuality he wasn't telling. When they were home alone, Rachel would borrow clothes from her sister and she would help her learn how to look her best as a girl.

Rachel wasn't sure about how to tell the rest of her family about her condition, because she was sure they wouldn't understand her; since her parents were quite conservative and her older brother was going through a "tough guy" phase. Fate conspired against her, however, as her parents one day caught her dressed up in Kate's clothes.
Rachel tried to explain her condition to her family, telling them she was unhappy in a boy's body and Rachel was in fact her real self, but her parents didn't want anything to do with it. They punished "Richard" harshly and ordered him never to dress up in girl's clothes again.

Even worse, Gregory had caught wind of the news, and started to mercilessly pick on Rachel despite Kate's attempts to protect her, going as far as spreading rumors about his sibling at their school.
Rachel became the laughing stock of the school, and she retreated even deeper into her books, comics and videogames as a mean to escape reality. Her parents would have preferred she took up sports, but they still considered her nerd side boyish enough.

Things, however, were going to get even worse. Rachel started to feel ill. Specifically, she developed an itch that, no matter what, wouldn't go away. The itch grew worse and worse over a few days, and she was just coming back from a visit at her doctor when she ran into one of the bullies from school. He started insulting her, then punched her in the face – and at that moment, Rachel discharged a blast of golden energy all around her.

In spite of the fireworks, the blast wasn't powerful enough to seriously injure the bully, that however ran away screaming "mutant". Soon, a crowd had gathered and the police had taken Rachel in for interrogation.
Fortunately for her, her discharge had triggered a ping on Xavier's Cerebro machine, and the X-Men had sent someone to pick her up. Rachel's parents, still upset and horrified about Rachel's powers, were more than happy to get rid of their twice-freakish kid.

Rachel was very hurt by how quickly her parents had sent her to a strange new school, not to mention worried and horrified about her newfound powers. However, as sad and confused as she was, she was happy to find out that, at Xavier's, she could enlist as a girl and begin her hormone therapy.

Rachel aced her way through school, learning to control her powers at the same time, and when she graduated Professor Xavier offered her a spot in his X-Men, as well as a position as a music teacher at his school.

PERSONALITY:

Rachel used to be quite depressed and introverted. Her friends and her transition helped her coming out of her shell and today she is friendly and determined to live her life to the fullest. She's the kind of person that will always voice her opinion and always sticks with the underdog. The thing that she likes the least about being an X-Men, is that protecting mutants leaves the X-Men little time to protect everyone else in need.
With friends, she is loyal, warm, and caring.
Rachel still feels haunted by her past experiences, though, and she reacts poorly to discrimination and aggressive behaviors. Sometimes she still envies pretty girls, and can act bitchy towards them, and she's oversensitive about her looks.
Rachel has had a crush on Jean Grey ever since arriving to Xavier's.

Likes: Playing guitar, clothes, comics, reading, cats, smart people who think outside the box.

Dislikes: Discriminatory people, sports, nosy people, guys who can't take the hint when she's not interested, dogs - she finds them gross.

Quirks:  She insists on X-Men girls being called 'X-Women' for gender equality.

EQUIPMENT: A specially reinforced Bo staff and a tailor made jumpsuit that resist her energy blasts.

KNOWN ENEMIES: none yet.

Ohhh! I like her! Really interesting concept with some Goku tossed in.

I'm looking forward to seeing her beat Sentinels with a stick staff

[Cassandra LeMay]

Disclaimer: I'm not the GM, so this is all just personal opinion, but... Isn't her background slightly problematic, in so far as it would mean she has already established relationships with most of the X-Men? Compared to the relationships between the canon characters (which can draw on the comics canon as a basis) Rachel's relationships with many characters might either feel rather... 'flat', or you'd have to work out previous history with a lot of players in some detail.

Also, I am not sure if the music teacher detail fits the background. If our setting was based on the movies, sure, but I don't think Xavier's did all that much mundane teaching during the time leading up to current in-game events (not to mention the school being destroyed a couple times over the years).

Would it perhaps be more practical to say she left Xavier's after finishing high school (and her mutant training) to attend college somewhere? She could have been away from the school for 2 or 3 years and decide to return to the school after finishing college (or be drawn into the Sentinel attack in New York). As people change over the years that would leave room to establish some relationships with other characters as she gets reaquainted with them and avoid the question where she was during all the missions the X-Men had over the recent past. Or if not college, perhaps she decided to be more active in the LGBT community than her position as an X-Woman would have allowed?

[bend]

The suggestion is not bad... I can see her taking college level music courses.
So, how does the approval process work?

[Cassandra LeMay]

So, how does the approval process work?

I don't think we have anything that approaches a formal process. I'd  probably wait about a day or so and if you haven't heard anything by then, gently point our GM (loislanekent) in the direction of your post.

I'm batting around an idea for an OC and have a question? Has the status of the Hellfire Club been established? Oops, somehow missed that line in the first post about it being disbanded. I do wonder if the social club would still exist even if the Inner Circle doesn't.

Well, he did employ a dance instructor for a long time.

The Inner Circle has always been a secret club within the larger Hellfire Club. No reason why the social club should have ceased to operate that I can see.

Stevie Hunter? She had her own studio in Salem Center; she didn't teach at the school, far as I know.

[VoluptuousVixen]

In regards to Rachels bio everything is fine, but I think it messes with the cannon too much if she is already a X-man. Its much easier for all if she starts out on her own and then joins the X-men as the story goes on.

Other then that the bio is approved.

[bend]

Did Mutant Town exist in '90s era X-Men? If so, I  can easily see Rachel as its self declared protector, and she could have spent most of her time after Xavier's there.
