JEAN GREY
30 Years Old Krakoan/American Quiet Council of Krakoa



H I S T O R Y


She is the most recent field leader of the X-Men, a member of the original five, and a mutant leader that's become one of the faces of Krakoa to the wider world and mutants making their way to the island. All of that before a mention of a certain cosmic force. Perhaps more importantly for the future, Jean is one of the very few mutants Krakoas could trust to challenge any faction or member of leadership on the island should need arise. Her story starts as a girl, the car crash on an old two-line highway. She remembers more of it than she'd like, the heat and the concrete and the glass and the blood. The crash began the slow cascade of psychic episodes, culminating in terrified parents calling everyone from trusted clergy to pseudo-specialists out to the family's farmhouse on the Annadale-on-Hudson river. When Jean looks back, now, she understands. As a child, however, loss and death were insurmountable cliff faces she would have to climb each day. It's occurred to Jean recently that there's no telling when extra-dimensional forces might have been nudging her life in one direction, or another. She knows from experience from other timelines and time-travelers that her presence on the first team of X-Men made a difference in the vast multi-verse.

Her first meeting with Xavier was rather unspectacular. He won over her parents well before her won her over. There's no understating what Charles Xavier did to save Jean during the early years. Her drift towards the great void had already begun by the time he even met her, providing a small window of time to help bring Jean back to life. Experiencing death, and the full trauma of it from her own perspective, was enough to send Jean Grey running the ethereal and astral in search of anything, or anyone. She mostly found memories, psychic reflections of reality that burn like small stars, but after enough time she began to experience the echoes of others. Xavier states this is when he came to discover Jean Grey, the telepath. The best account is Xavier's, "the reason she was on the team, the reason she became so central, was because we didn't know the upper-limits of her ability. Yet few know the utility of that mutant gift such as I do." Regardless of intention, Jean spent most of the first few years ducking for cover and yelling for help. It was a disaster. Xavier insisted on having her focus on constant connection to him, to updates to team, to psychic defenses.

It was thankless work that no one but Xavier needed and it almost got her killed a few times. Despite their success, there was hope before Krakoa. The island will forever mean something a little different to Jean Grey. She spent the years in darkness combating the island. She was a main architect in expelling it from the planet. At one point, it had gotten personal with Krakoa and Jean Grey. Where that leaves them today is an unknown wrinkle. The team hit it's stride after Krakoa, new additions, and new dynamics in the Institute. Jean officially graduates Xavier's and begins at Bard College. She will finish a Bachelor's in Biology, all the while remaining a part time X-Men when the team needed her. She was a week from graduating when a mission in space to escape Sentinels sent to kidnap and kill them forced Jean to make a sacrifice and pilot an escape shuttle in extreme radiation conditions. Scott claims to watch her die, minutes before the Phoenix Force resurrects her and keeps her friends safe. The Phoenix Force lost itself in Jean, twisting Jean's darker aspects into the Dark Phoenix.

What started as an attempt at mind control ended in the destruction of a star system and the death of billions, all directly from actions taken by the Dark Phoenix. Logan claims to watch Jean sacrifice herself in order to rob the Phoenix Force of it's precocious 'host.' Jean Grey would disagree in that she died. According to her, she ascended upon her physical death, her interconnected nature with the Phoenix Force, at the time, making any true death an impossibility. She admits to those who have asked that it's hard to merge how people see time and space, and how she and time and space were during her time with the Phoenix Force, after her apparent death. She had died and returned more times than she could, she saw and experienced variations of reality that simply did not belong to the the normal timeline, or any parallel timeline she had seen before. She had been there for Scott when he needed her reassurances most. She appeared for Logan when there was no reason for him to want to keep going. In time, to a very small select few, it became a known secret that Jean Grey was dead, maybe forever.

But she wasn't gone. Even as other Phoenix hosts came to be and fell back, she was an absolution as the White Phoenix of the Crown.

Her return would come recently, in 2015. Her return would immediately get her friends and loves ones in danger, as the Shi'ar Empire would demand her arrest and trial for the deaths caused by the Dark Phoenix. After the many pleas of her close friends, Jean accepted trial-by-combat. X-Men, vs the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard. Though the X-Men are an amazing team of individuals with astonishing powers and more experience together than most, it wasn't enough to defeat the Imperial Guard. In the end it was Jean who challenged the Imperial Guard's leader in single combat. The amount of energy Jean Grey released in those moments was enough to shake the very foundations of the universe; she had done the impossible and won her freedom. Though she promised to continue being a hero and saving as many lives as she had caused the death of, the shadow of the Phoenix is a long, dark, thing. The finishes up the break with the Phoenix, working with the Cuckoos and Emma Frost to free Hope Summers of any possible Phoenix possession. The latest iteration of the X-Men was her team, resulting in success against a reality bending foe.

Jean died in 2019, a secret known only to Xavier and Magneto and Storm. She, along with all the other mutants who died destroying the Mother Mold being created by Orchis in their Forge, were resurrected late using Krakoan resurrection protocols. The mission is a partial success. The mutant circuit responsible for resurrection, the Five, do note unusual difficulty, at parts, and unusual ease, at other parts, in returning Jean Grey to life. Jean has recently been named a member of the Quiet Council, and spends most of her time helping Krakoan missions from X-Force to X-Factor to the Marauders. She has easily been one of the busiest, and visible, mutants of the new age.


P O W E R S


Jean is an Omega level telepath, and an Alpha level telekinetic of immense power.

S T O R Y A R C S


The Immortal X-Men A mistake by X-Force costs a lot of innocent lives, and drives two original X-Men farther apart than their relationship has ever been as the very soul of Krakoa, the nation, is debated. Cerebra is discussed in greater detail, and an uninvited visitor attempts a lunar walk to access the real power behind what Cerebra has become. Scott and Jean question their place on the Krakoan Quiet Council, wondering if Krakoa, and mutants as a whole, need them doing something else. Something different.

I might need help with this, I'm returning to writing after being on a hiatus for 5-6 years and am having trouble coming up with ideas, but am very interested in joining. I will try to finish up my character sheet myself but am open to suggestions.

Name. William “Billy” Kaplan
Alias. Wiccan
Age. 18
Place of Birth. New York

Powers. Wiccan’s powers are extensive, unpredictable, powerful, possibly mutant, and most definitely magical. Typically, his abilities manifest as electrokinetic energy from his hands, which Wiccan can manipulate in numerous ways—both offensively and defensively. Wiccan can also teleport himself and his teammates over long distances, fly, create objects from thin air, levitate objects, project force, energy, ice, heat, and fire, and create force fields and other solid energy objects

History. The Avengers Vision and Scarlet Witch once had twin children. Billy and Tommy Maximoff. This was an extraordinary occurrence, considering Vision is a synthetic being and Scarlet Witch is a chaos magician. The family lived happily during a time known as the House of M. Unfortunately for the couple, the children were undone when Scarlet Witch muttered No More Mutants. However, the souls of the children would be reborn as new people.

Billy was born the eldest of 3 sons, to parents Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan. When he was young, Billy realized he was gay, and so took a lot of abuse from classmates. After getting into a fight with some bullies, Billy has an encounter with the Scarlet Witch. She heals him, and tells him to stand up for himself.

That’s exactly what he did the next time he had a run in with that same bully. Unluckily for him, the electrokinetic aspect of Billy’s powers manifested, and the bully was nearly killed.

After that incident, Billy began to practice his magic powers, and wished to find Wanda again, to whom he felt a special connection. He believes she may have activated something in him when she healed his injuries that day. Unfortunately, the Scarlet Witch had vanished.

Happy to oblige, if it helps feel free to DM/PM me, but definitely start with what you want to achieve from the character. Easier to plot things out when certain motivations are known.

This is a pretty poor CS. I'll work on it tomorrow and over the weekend, but I'm planning on doing a government agency type thing.

Using Nick Fury (vintage grey hair Fury), Captain America, and Nuke

I won't be using Wolverine but I will change a wee bit of canon regarding Nuke which will change a wee bit of canon regarding Wolverine. If you know what I'm talking about, yes, that.

Just wanted to sort of state my intent now.

So he is a mutant, and he's still looking for Wanda? Given what she's been up to, fair to say she'd be hard to find, but let me know what you might have in mind.

I'm very interested, but debating whether to use an older Molly Hayes (from Runaways), or a legacy OC I've grown attached to, Lydia Creel (daughter of Absorbing Man and Titania)

Molly has Super Strength but on the lower end of it so maybe Comics Jessica Jones level.

Lydia can copy powers (basically, the properties of people, so anything that's nature but not nurture, wholly external, or truly unique. So she can't copy being The Chosen One or Worthy of Mjolnir or anything) The copied powers are heavily nerfed but she can stack them

No issue with either of those. My only advice is: make a mutant (if not going with Molly), too, just in case the game gets Krakoa-centric early.

Name: Thomas “Tommy” Shepherd
Alias: Speed
Age: 18
Place of Birth: Springfield New Jersey

Powers: Tommy is a speedster. This means that he can run at speeds that a normal human would never achieve. His top speed is unknown, but he is fast enough to break the soundbarrier and run over water. His body is made in a way that allows him to endure frictions that would flail anyone else alive and bones that are made not to shatter in a collision at high speed. That doesn't mean he is invulnerable; a bullet at any speed could kill him.

Besides running fast, Tommy also functions incredibly fast. He can do things at speed nobody else can and has a brain to match them. His brain is made to function at incredible speeds that allow him to catch all the details during a run. This also means he can read a book in mere seconds and remember everything he has read.

A major setback to his powers is that all this has left Tommy with a skewed perception of time. What might be minutes for somebody is hours for him and it is both incredibly frustrating and lonely for him.

History: The Avengers Vision and Scarlet Witch once had twin children. Billy and Tommy Maximoff. This was an extraordinary occurrence, considering Vision is a synthetic being and Scarlet Witch is a chaos magician. The family lived happily during a time known as the House of M. Unfortunately for the couple, the children were undone when Scarlet Witch muttered No More Mutants. However, the souls of the children would be reborn as new people.

Tommy was born to Frank and Mary Shepherd in New Jersey. His parents divorced when he was barely four years old. Tommy lived mostly with his father after his mother rejected him, believing him not to be her son due to the fact that he barely resembled his parents with his striking white hair and green eyes. Tommy spent most of his childhood getting into trouble; he could barely sit still for longer than five minutes and was often bullied for this and his unnatural hair color. Frank got a girlfriend who was anti-mutant and felt Tommy was one and they often fought. Frank often took her side and disapproved of all Tommy's accomplishments or lack thereof.

He often got into trouble, and was in and out of juvenile hall for various things. His powers manifested when he was thirteen year old. He was in school when it happened and lost control over his powers instantly, blowing up the math class. Tommy was sent to a superjuvenile hall because of his record as troublemaker and the fact that he was a mutant.

Superjuvie was not a good time for Tommy. There was a lack of adherence to basic human rights. Tommy's parents never came for him, even though they were informed, leaving Tommy bitter and angry with parental figures. Scientists took an interest in a speedster with an ability to blow things up and Tommy was poked and prodded like an animal as they tried to turn him into a weapon.

Eventually, he was able to escape Superjuvie, and found refuge on Krakoa.

Story Arcs: TBD

After more thought, I'm going to make Lydia Creel. I can already think of a few reasons she'd want to and/or could end up on the island. I think with this cast and setting, she would be a more interesting character to play

She might not have the X-gene (Her power is more Alien/Magical in nature) but it is linked to Loki (He created the potion that gave her father his powers), and it would also draw comparisons to Rogue's power

The issue is there, outside certain circumstances, non-mutants aren't allowed on the island. So you could still play them, they just won't be on mutants-centric events/stories.

Hihi! I have a simple question!

I know its a marvel rp, but if I wanted to make an OC using heavy influence from a DC character, would that be allowed? The full disclosure is I wanna make a character based off Raven from DC. Just, probably gonna tie her into a bit more dark magic/demonic heritage stuffs. So likely related to stuff such as Darkhold and such as Scarlet Witch is, just that heritage might Actually have a demon-dad.

Could also be fun to play with there already being a Dr. Strange ^^




I do also have two backup ideas, in the way of an AI in a nanomachine-built body that is designed specifically to kill mutants (Her whole arc would be learning to be a person and maybe even switching to the Mutant side! But rn she'd be an Orchis unit. Probably specifically controlled by Hydra-elememts).

OR I do have a Spider-Girl oc. Which basically is just my twist on Spider-Man but I like writing girls so sue me.

I'd prefer the Raven idea but I could do any of these!
