Not sure about the first question but we wont be starting at the school. It will be pre-School of Gifted. We will be in a sort of underground development thing. Bunch of info in the OP

Q:Do you have an age range for the characters?
A: Ideally I would prefer if the characters be limited to that of a younger age simply because it is slowly becoming a known fact during this time that the mutant gene is brought out though puberty, more or less. Not only this, but if a character were to have had their abilities for a good number of years now, their chances of getting caught and killed or imprisoned are much more likely. This can be side-stepped, however, if you give me a convincing story as to this 'older' character having just come by their powers recently, triggered by something other than just growing up.

@Vicier! Thank you for working with me on your CS and now that it has been posted I can say that Jean is accepted and has taken up spot number 3! Thank you!

@Pie Flavor A few things I noticed right away.

First off, I would ask you use a different face claim. Not only can we not even see his face, but the modern-day camera and baseball cap really throw off the time period that I have set this roleplay up for. Also, if you are using that picture for a banner you still need to have a picture in the appearance section.

Secondly, under personality traits you mention that he is open to being a 'trans' if asked about it. Since this is the 1940's you need to keep in mind that this particular subject was avoided like the plague as well as the subject of LBGT (which wasn't officially formed until waaaaay later, by the way). If there was anything that American's hated more than the Germans and Japanese at this time, it was people who were sexually different. Anyone who openly admitted being gay, straight, bi, transgender... anything like that, you were more than likely hunted down and beaten or even worse, killed.

Thirdly, the fact that a 10-year-old girl 'suddenly' changes into a boy (I'm assuming there were people around when this happened since it was his birthday?) I can not accept that no one noticed, especially his family. 10 years old he would still be living at home, so that sort of thing just doesn't go unnoticed, not to mention with school registration (since you stated that they still went to school) would have to have been redone by his parents in which they would have had to treat him like an entirely new person, like 'the new kid' and probably fabricate a story about how the girl he was before (what was her name?) died or was sent away or something. You have him moving around a bit after that, which makes the transition easier but at the very least his parents would have taken notice.

Fourthly, I understand him learning to fight because of getting picked on and whatever, but how is his cuts and scrapes healing faster? Is that part of his mutant gene or just something his body does? I'm a bit lost on that.

And one last thing, you haven't mentioned at all how the war affected him and/or his family. Kind of a big thing going on during all of this haha.

@Darling Cyanide Wow, really nice CS here I love the amount of detail you went into with the war and all that. Also, you made it clear that you have chosen Erik that was the one that has recruited her, great! Less questions for me. I do have one question though just out of my own curiosity... is Charlotte gay? lol Your 'other' section has me a mite bit confused :p Accepted! And she has taken up spot number 4!

Aaaand Mr_Pink has dropped out because of something that I wrote plainly in the CS section? (Does no one read anymore?) Best of luck to you Pink! Thanks for letting me know!

@Avanhelsing Okay, overall the CS looks good but just a few things...

First, you have his personality posted twice and the added little tag of "he doesn't care that he is so young" confuses me since he's 19... which... isn't really all that young...

Secondly, his backstory needs to be fleshed out a LOT more as well as mentioning somewhere how and when the war has affected him (the war has affected everyone, it's just nice to know how) so work on those two things and then let me know when you have updated it.

Cyanide, Wicked Sweet, thank you both for answering his questions for me since I've already done so :) (Again, does no one read? @.@)

Now... off to update the roster! 2 new characters to add!

Would it be alright to say he was in the war? Cause that is what I am going to add. I am not good at backstory sadly and I changed the personality.

Okay his personality is still in two different places, remove the one thats just under his face claim. I wouldn't have any problems with him being in the war, but if you do this you also have to take into account the idea of PTSD if he was on the front lines, unless you wanted him to be in the war doing the 'backstage' work like tech or infirmary.

Yah caught that right now. I'll give him PTSD as well. It will be fun to have another vet but one a bit more effected by it. Also I think I am going to make him homosexual. It fits him.

Get me a good, informative, clear, concrete backstory like the ones you see on the approved characters and then we can talk about his sexuality lol

Hey thanks for making the edits and PM'ing me that you were finished. The backstory looks A LOT better and hell, if he was involved with the war it wouldn't surprise me if he ran into/saw Logan a few times...

I would keep his 'training' with his adoptive father down to a minimum. It would be a rare thing that his dad would be so accepting of these powers but hey, some people are just able to cope with that kind of stuff and can be supportive, so I dig it. Anyway, I don't have a problem for you making him gay if that is what you want, but like I said, you need to be REALLY careful with it because of the time period. Thanks. He has been approved and I will update him on the number 5 spot.

Oh! @Avanhelsing one more thing real quick, think you can embellish on his personality a bit? His time in the war would have affected him a bit in that area. Thanks!

Name: Sophia Bessette

Age: 16

Alias: Electra

Appearance:

Costume:

Abilities: Electrokinesis Sophia can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles such as electrons or protons which give the user control over electric fields, electric charges, electric currents. Though she currently does not have full control over her mutant abilities, Sophia's powers tend to go out of control with her emotions causing nearby electronics to either short circuit anything near her or even shock a person.

Skills: Living in the streets Sophia is a very athletic person and very flexible as well, Sophia is also very street smart and can get into places rather easily. Learning to also be able to pick into locks another skill she had picked up while living in the streets of New York, though untrained Sophia is able to fight hand to hand as well if need be and also can fight dirty if she has to in order to survive. Sophia also knows a little bit of first aid. Her native tongue is French but she can easily and fluently speak English.

Personality Traits: Sophia tends to be shy around people she does not know very well, and takes quiet awhile before she will eventually open up to anyone, Sophia also tends to take her time to know someone before becoming friends with the person. However once she is close to someone Sophia can be a very loyal friend and be the one to listen and help out a person if they ever needed she would be the friend to lend a shoulder to cry on.

Backstory: Originally born in France her father was from Britain while her mother was from France, the two of them met while her father was on a business trip. Her mother worked as a waitress and the two of them hit it off rather quickly the two eventually got married and her father moved to Paris France and a few years later they had Sophia. As the Second World War started Sophia's father was recruited to join the French military, watching her father leave at the age of seven which was the last she would ever see or ever hear from him ever again her mother assumed he had fallen in battle.

On May 10th, 1940 Germany invaded France Sophia and her mother tried to escape their home as the bombs fell when German troops entered Paris Sophia along with her mother and a few people trying to escape were captured. Scared and terrified as the German started to kill the prisoners Sophia witnessed them killing her mother that was when her powers manifested causing her to kill one of the soldiers. Using the time when they were distracted Sophia made a run for it, though not before one of the soldiers firing a single shot wounding her left shoulder Sophia continued to run and hide. Sophia spent the next four years stealing, scavenging anything she could get her hands on.

On August, 25th 1944 when the Allied Forces started to retake Paris Sophia managed to get rescued by American soldiers she was eventually put on a ship to America where she was put into an orphanage. Though she hated living there Sophia would always find ways to escape her mutant ability started to resurface again one night when she had snuck out Sophia was cornered by some other kids, she ended up causing a small power outage making the lights either shatter this made them all to flee. Sometime after that was when Charles Xavier approached her, with an offer to be with people who were just like her and to learn how to control her abilities.
