X-Men: Age of Mutants







Hiya there!!

In this roleplay you will be playing primarily OC mutants in an alternate timeline of the X-Men franchise, though I might allow a few canon characters, given they are nerfed in the beginning. This roleplay will be set in modern day.

In the start of the roleplay your mutant will either A) not know that they are a mutant, or B) express little control over their powers. Over the course of the RP, I, and perhaps 1-2 Co-GMs (if anyone is interested) will lead you on training exercises to build your character's control and abilities. We'll then begin the plot itself, and go on missions and such with your mutants. Your character's power level can really vary depending on what you want, meaning you can have someone with the potential to be super OP, or you can have someone that will never really be all that powerful. The key word here is potential. You will all start out relatively low in skill / completely untrained. This roleplay will train your character during part of the plot to make things interesting. If you have a question about whether something is too OP, feel free to shoot me a PM and ask.

So the boring part, the rules (I promise there won't be too many)

SO I understand everyone's first language isn't english, and that's okay. If it isn't, or you've got a legit disorder that holds you back from writing, just say something and I'll be super understanding. Otherwise, I ask you write with proper grammar and spelling (I won't be all "actually that should have been the word 'well' not 'good'." but I do ask that you have the proper usage of "your" "you're" "there" "their" "they're", etc.

Aim for 2 paragraphs, but don't fall less than 1. One liners are boring and don't progress the story any. If you have nothing else to say, you can talk about how your character feels, what he sees around him, anything else. Give us something to react to.

Keep it all up to site rules. THat's all I've got to say on that.

include $3 Pineapples in the "Other" section of your CS.

Down to business, CS's. You can pretty them up all you want, but I want these basics covered:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Sexual Orientation:
Appearance: Please include a real life image. You may also add in written descriptions, but they are not required.
Mutation: Keep in mind that with potential the sky is your limit, but keep their current skill level grounded.

Name: Samantha Juliet Knoll "Sam"

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Mutation: Omnilingualism and invisibility.

Personality: Don't let her sweet face fool you. Sam is stubborn, strong willed, and intelligent. She is a cynical badass, and doesn't put up with shit. She does not warm to strangers easily, and appears afraid of nothing. She controls her emotions within herself, and in some ways she is slightly detached from her emotions. Sam appears even tempered, controlled, and emotionally distant, until she lets you truly get to know her. She is a secret bleeding heart, and takes the suffering of innocents personally. If one pays special attention they can see that side of her throughout many of her actions. Sam is very smart, and is particularly tuned into numbers. She loves books, and movies, a way to escape into her mind to a fantasy world. She is the protector of people she loves, extremely loyal, and always has their back. She is organized and has an excellent attention span. Over the years since her powers manifested she has become more sly, blunt, and uncompromising.

Bio: Samantha was adopted by the Knoll family when she was three years old. The story before her adoption goes like this. She was born in Boston to a stripper named Crystal Byrne. Her father was Crystal's on and off again boyfriend Daniel Uccello. He was an abusive drunk, who made money dealing drugs. She also had an older half-brother named Marcus, who was seven years old at the time she was born. Nine month after she was born, Daniel got busted selling drugs and was haled off to prison, where he would later die after being stabbed to death for pissing off the wrong people. Crystal turned to prostitution to pay the ever growing pile of bills.

By the time Sam was two years old, her brother was the only one caring for her. Crystal would disappear for days at a time leaving Marcus and Sam alone to fend for themselves in the roach infested apartment they called home. Crystal had became addicted to drugs, and her primary goal in life was how to get her next fix. Marcus went to school dirty, and hungry. The free school lunch was the only place he could get a hot meal, and everyday he would stuff his pockets with food from his tray to bring home to Sam. Unfortunately the school turned a blind eye to the blatant neglect. A few weeks before Samantha's third birthday, Crystal had left and never came back. Marcus and Sam lived off saltine crackers, beer, old Halloween candy, stale fruit loops, tap water, and whatever he brought home from school. It went in like this for the next two weeks.

The landlord came knocking since the rent was late, and found to dirty malnourished kids living in squalor. The authorities were called and Marcus and Sam were put into a foster home. After a few weeks of investigation, they matched the body of a Jane Doe to Crystal. She had died of a heroin overdose in an alley only three blocks away from the apartment. Marcus's biological father flew back from his tour in Iraq to get custody of Marcus. Sam on the other hand was left in foster care, as both of her parents where dead and she had no relatives to speak of. Fortunately she was quickly adopted by the Knoll family a few months later. And they changed her name from Mercedes Aleeah Byrne to Samantha Juliet Knoll.

Being only three years old when she was adopted, she does not really remember anything from her first few years of life. And so Samantha grew up in Providence RI, living a simple happy life. Richard her new father was a mixed martial artist who ran his own gym, and Lucy her new mother was a music teacher at the local high school. She even gained two new older brothers named Jake and Lucas who was her protectors, and best friends. They all lived happily in a three story town home. Her bedroom was her favorite place with its powder blue walls, a canopy bed, and huge doll house her father built for her. Her parents sent her to the private catholic school, her summers were spent in Michigan at the cottage on the lakes, and Christmas was always at the Plaza in Manhattan. Her Omnilingualism was apparent early on, as she was found speaking fluent french with the next door neighbors grandkids who where visiting from Paris. She could read the Chinese symbols on the takeout menus, and became good friends with the new girl at school, who could only speak Spanish. No one ever linked this to being a mutant. Her parents just assumed she was a little genius.

When she was eleven years old her family was in a car crash. Her parents died instantly and Jake was left a vegetable in a coma. Lucas blamed himself as he had been the one driving, and committed suicide a few weeks after the accident. Her happy life was seemingly over. The death of her parents led to a whole life change for Sam. Her father's parents became her legal guardians, but they lived in Germany. Her Grandparents only came to stay with her until the house was sold, Jake was taken off life support, and the funerals were held. They quickly decided that it was best that Sam staid in America, so she was sent to live with her Mother's younger sister Diana in Las Vegas Nevada.

Living in a cluttered 5th floor walk up in Vegas, above a bar, with her hipster Aunt Diana was very different from the life she had been living. Going to public school was nothing like her old school, she missed her friends, her old house, her city, and most of all her family. Diana was an aspiring musician, who worked as a maid, and bartender to pay the bills, so she was not home much to take care of Sam. When Diana was home she was ether sleeping or playing music with her band in the living room until late into the morning hours. Diana was a nice to Sam, but responsibility for anyone other then herself seemed impossible for the woman.

By middle school she had learned to how to cook, clean, shop, use the public bus, and she could basically take care of herself. She even had a part time job at the flower shop down the street from her school. Living on the bad side of town in a dangerous neighborhood Samantha was lucky to know a thing or to about fighting. When she was fourteen Aunt Diana was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Sam became her caretaker for the next two years until she died. Samantha felt alone in the world, and a few days after her aunt's funeral her invisibility powers manifested. She was only sixteen, so the state placed her into a foster care group home for girls. The place was like a prison, and most of the girls there where what some would label politely as troubled, but more correctly put they were violent delinquents, with major issues.

Four months into her stay and Sunshine Home for teen girls, Sam was pretty sure she was going nuts, as small parts of her would randomly turn invisible. One of the group home staff explained to her that she was a mutant, and that it was best to not tell or show anyone what she could do. After some intense googleing she was even more freaked out. One day three girls decided to teach Samantha a lesson by ganging up on her in the bathroom to kick her ass, all because Sam narked on them after she heard them talking about their plan to burn the place down. She did the best she could defending herself, but she was quickly knocked to the ground and the girl proceeded savagely to kicked her. Survival skills kicked in and for the first time she went completely invisible including her clothes, and then she high tailed it out of the place.

She spent two years living on the street in LA. Once she was 18, and legally an adult she was able take the GED. She passed it with flying colors, and then got a job as a waitress at a diner. She rents a tiny cheap studio apartment, and has no idea what to do with her life.

Other: She is a vegetarian. $3 Pineapples

Name: Derrick Cole

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Appearance:

Mutation: The ability to create solid light constructs. This includes firing blasts, flight, shielding. Most of these he can't do yet though.

Personality: Brash, eager, but if a hot head, but generally a nice guy, when he's not trying to come off as a jerk.

Bio: Irish american, born in the states while his parents were on vacation but lived in Ireland until he was fifteen. His dad worked in construction and was in charge of his companies demolitions materials. When some local members of the IRA wanted supplies to make bombs, they came knocking on old Nathan Cole's door. He denied them, flat out. But the IRA don't take well to disappointment, and a week later found Derricks father in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life.

Derrick stole the demolitions supplies, managed to get into contact with the men that wanted them and arranged a meet to turn them over. One of the men was an Interpol agent, undercover, and the entire thing had been a sting operation to catch the local chapter of the IRA. Derrick and his family were relocated to Boston and granted citizenship as a reward for their trouble, and assistance. No charges were brought against Derrick due to his age at the time, and his only intention was to help his father.

When he turned 17 his powers began to manifest themselves. At first as little points of light that would randomly start floating around him, then later he was startled when a truck backfired on their block and a small beam of light erupted from his hand, shattering the cup of coffee he'd been holding in a spray of ceramic and scalding liquid.

He left home after discussing the situation with his parents. They loved him, and they didn't have a problem with his being different. But they couldn't afford the property damage that started to creep up with the uncontrolled power he had. They supplied him with all the assistance they could and he still calls his mother nearly every day, but he's been on his own for a few years, traveling the country by motorcycle, picking up odd jobs when and where he could.

Michael Christopher Johnson


Age:
27

Race:
White

Sexuality:
Straight

Marital status:
Single

Appearance:

Chris stands at 6'2, and is a tall and thin, with average muscling on his arms. He isn't exceptionally strong, or visually striking, as most of his strength is gained by his mutation. He usually keeps a small amount of facial hair at any given point, and his hair fairly short. Chris has hazel colored eyes, though he's always hated them and would rather have blue ones.

Mutation:
'"Pulse" has shown the exceptional ability to absorb multiple types of energy, primarily electrical, and retain it in his cells like a capacitor or battery. This ability has not been thoroughly tested, due to concern about cellular degradation due to excess exposure to current. Presently "the patient appears to be capable absorb roughly a car's battery worth of energy, with potential for more. Additionally, the patient is able to discharge the energy which he absorbs, sometimes at a greater strength than it was when he absorbed it. Presently energy can be discharged in a stream, or via touch. We are unsure whether there is potential for more methods of discharge at this point. This patient, "pulse", seems to thrive when a certain amount of energy is constantly in his body. Cellular deterioration, similar to dehydration or starvation have been observed when this minimum energy level is depleted, or a maximum energy level is surpassed. Though, with a certain 'exercise' like regimen, "pulse" seems to be capable of increasing the upper end of his retention. Observations are still trying to put an empirical number to these levels. It is believed by my team that "Pulse" very likely will continue to evolve this ability to absorb additional types of energy, potentially including kinetic, flame, and life energy. When Chris becomes overcharged, there is the potential for an explosion like occurrence, while his body vents the excess energy to maintain homeostasis.

'Presently my team refers to the patient's powers as electromagnetic. He seems to harness magnetic fields through mental manipulation, and can manipulate any metal, or metallic object. Currently the patient's magnetic abilities seem to be correlated to the amount of energy he has absorbed, though he does seem to exhibit a base level of magnetic ability despite energy absorption. His abilities allow him to sustain limited amounts of flight, and he can stop up to half a dozen bullets in air. Additionally, my team believes his powers may evolve to a point to where they are relatively independent from his absorbed energy."

Personality:
Chris in his personality is a very walled veiled person. He usually carries a sarcastic aggressive attitude with him wherever he goes. This sarcasm and aggression that lies on the outside of his personality though, is just a defense mechanism. He developed the personality that he displays to the rest of the world. A cold, callused individual with little care for anyone or anything. He keeps most things pent up, which causes him to have a smoldering hate and short temper most of the time. Having been dealt massive emotional blows as a child Chris is rather tender and sensitive on the inside. He's constantly trying to find something to fill the void his parents left. Chris suffers from clinically diagnosed mild-moderate depression. Due to his gruff exterior he has difficulty getting close to people, and when he does his short temper and self destructive tendencies often push them away. This feeds his depression, which plagues him when he isn't working.

Chris has developed a rather bad drinking habit, and could be classified as an alcoholic. The drinking problem, like many of his other personality flaws, stems directly from the loss of his parents. He has difficulty getting close to anyone in his life, due to the aforementioned issues, which just goes to feed this alcoholism.
History:
Chris was born into a broken family in the south bronx. His parents fought through most of his childhood, leaving Chris bitter and alone at home, and making it hard for him to make friends at school. When he was in elementary school his parents' fighting became worse. When he tried to split it up Chris's father smacked him and sent him to his room. In his room he fell into a tantrum of pain and sorrow, which was when his mutations first expressed themselves. Cars parked along the road began to wobble, setting off their alarms. Computers in his house, and the ones around his house began to flicker and then fail all together, and every metal object in the house began to hover, or all together fly towards his room, getting stuck against whatever wall obstructed their path. Windows across the house shattered as the sills themselves tried to flex and snap out of their fixtures, fracturing hte grass in the process.

The phenomenom was enough to shake his father from his fit of rage, and he went looking for the source, the wailing boy in his upstairs. His father, having watched the news, knew very well that what he was experiencing was a mutant. Despite cries by his mother and protests, his father kicked Chris out at age 8 to fend for himself.

Chris spent the next eight years fending for himself. He spent several months on and off in Xavier's School, though he couldn't fit in and make friends and would frequently run away. It was during these eight years he discovered his energy power, and began to harness his powers more and more. It was during a petty theft he was making on an ATM, ripping the metal away and taking the cash. A police officer caught him in the act and attempted to tase him when he wouldn't stop. The officer fired his taser, but to no avail. The wires hooked into him but the electricity was absorbed. It even caught Chris off guard, but having spent time around other mutants, he understood immediately it was another mutation. Chris ripped the wires out and ran away, unsure of the extent of his mutations.

For the next decade Chris began to attempt to make a life for himself. He indulged in petty crime less, while getting more education and trying to find a good job. At age 26 he had a steady relationship, a good paying job, and a decent apartment. He had kept his mutation surpessed enough that no one around him, including his girlfriend, knew of it, until one day. During a freak accident where his girlfriend walked into oncouming traffic without having seen the car, Chris reached out with his magnetism and stopped the car, thus outing himself as a mutant. A brief chase involving the police ensued, where Chris was tased several times, and ended up 'detonating' as a result of over saturation of his cells. Though he wans't really harmed badly, the result was a massive explosion like wave of energy eminating off of him, killing his girlfriend and the officers. Since then he has been living alone, trying to find a way for himself.
