Got y'all a finished one now

Shade

Name: Edward Cyrus Macintosh
Nickname(s): Ed, Shy Guy, Shy, Cy, Mac, Cyrus (often goes by his middle name)
Alias: Shade
Gender Male
Age: 28
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 155 lbs
Dominant Hand: Left

Edward has extremely poor vision in his left eye, which he has been unable to correct even with glasses. He is also usually incapable of remembering faces, which makes keeping track of people a struggle. Often wears sweaters, dress overcoats, and jeans (kind of a professor-ey look)

Powers/abilities:
//Str: 10//Dex: 13//Con:14//Int: 15//Wis: 8//Cha: 20//
Spirit Magic:
Shade’s especially strong Aura allows him access to a number of abilities. His aura is a greyish-black, interlaced with purple strips that dance around him. Whenever he uses an ability, his left eye glows deep purple, and the color emanates out from the eye in random patterns that change and re-form continuously. Using his abilities, the following are possible:
-Physical Aura manifestation: Macintosh’s aura is so strong he can remove it fully from his person, where it will manifest as three head sized orbs. These orbs are only semi-real, though they can be made fully solid with focus – this mean under usual circumstances, they deal damage to the psyche and soul of others, not their bodies. He can use these as relatively fast returning projectiles, a platform for flight, passive protection (orbiting him and intercepting attacks), and whatever else he can think of doing with three large, hard to damage orbs that float around on his command.
-auric siphon: via touch, can intake another’s aura. He starts gaining basic information on recent emotional experiences, thoughts, etc. while recharging his own aura, but can eventually absorb an entire person’s soul doing this. Never has, never plans to.
-auric projection: via auric touch, can give his own aura away. Same as siphon, but reversed and with more control. He can share with another ideas, thoughts, and his own auric energy. He can also project single emotions or ideas with focus, and can do so at a range when manifesting his aura physically (though he must focus on the idea/emotion before splitting body and soul). Could theoretically try and possess the body of another with this, but has no idea what would happen to his own body once he transferred all of his soul. Mostly used to heal allies or debuff opponents.
-Auric Sight: can see the auras of others, often gaining basic information about them – sickness, mood, and magical abilities often factor into the appearance of one’s aura on any given day, though their effects on the aura overlap with one another (depression and apathy are quite similar, as can be intense emotions with the aura of someone with powers). For him, it’s the same as reading a face, which is good since he’s almost entirely face blind and would otherwise be incapable of recognizing others.

Working with one’s own spirit is a dangerous prospect, in general. While it gives Shade access to very powerful abilities, mis-use and miscalculation can leave him quickly weakened or in grave danger. Taking damage to the spirit is far more dangerous and difficult to repair than normal injuries: the only way to fix a damaged soul is with extensive rest, or by siphoning from willing targets. And obviously, his spirit orbs are definitely damageable – about 5 bullets from a conventional handgun would be the maximum they could take before he started to take damage. If his body is killed while his soul is manifested, he will become a ghost, half a being forever, stuck both in the afterlife and on earth.

Other:
Edward is trained in Muy Thai, and usually fights either barehanded or with a 6’ staff, relying on agility and his powers instead of brute force.

Edward can play the mandolin reasonably well, owning his own.

Edward is a fantastic orator, and, as a historian and linguist, is adept at solving complex problems, seeing connections others may not, and, of course, presenting a convincing argument.

History: Discovering you have a power straight out of a comic book is always an interesting experience, and never fully positive. Discovering it by accidentally removing some of your girlfriend’s memories during sex is an entirely new level of awkward. And while under usual circumstances a 16 year-old’s girlfriend would immediately share an awkward circumstance with all her friends, when you instead start seeing color outlines in your left eye that persist even when you close it, and you apparently started glowing dark purple, and she light yellow, you can usually come to an agreement to keep it on the hush hush.
Problem is, a rogue power that makes your eye glow is hard to hide for forever, and Cy eventually had to take some impromptu time off to “recover from an illness” which took the better part of a year. In that time, he and his parents tried all sorts of hippie meditative shit, as well as other holistic medicinal approaches that at one point involved a Native American Shaman. Despite all their weird remedies, they never approached any government anybody about it, and never really helped that much either. He learned for himself what his powers meant for himself over the course of the year, in part with help from his family’s two cats; Regina: destroyer of worlds, and Paul. In his most stressful episodes of auric sight, they would come, sit on him, and purr, their auras vibrating and turning slightly warmer shades of their colors (greenish-brown and fluorescent yellow, respectively). From there, he began to see that their basic moods – something you can read from body language – consistently were reflected in their aura.
He learned too to transfer a healing touch to things when they brought him a half-chewed but still somehow living bird. Cy had theorized that he could do something of the sort, having at this point shared memories back and forth with the cats, and eventually gotten brave enough to siphon the smallest amount of their energy to heal a papercut. Unfortunately, he revived the bird indoors. This meant, of course, that the now slightly drained Edward had to herd the damned thing outside while his cats chased it around the house, which was quite a fiasco.
The whole soul detachment thing also happened quite by accident, when sparring with his Father (have to keep up on the martial arts even when avoiding all social interaction, you know), when the orbs just kind of... popped out of him when facing off with his father. Naturally, they both panicked, but Cy was starting to get more comfortable with his powers, and was, after seeing he was not dead, quite happy to explore his new ability a bit, eventually getting a feel for how they worked in a general sense. Getting them to appear could be a bit of a struggle some time, but in time he mastered that, too. He eventually went back to school (in a different district, though he still got a weird look or two unrelated to his being a year behind), then went off to college at Central Washington University, majoring in History and Linguistics, with a Spanish minor.
Somehow all of that lead to him becoming an English teacher in China, starting at age 26, after wallowing in low paying jobs for a year. It’s amazing what opportunities one can have in a foreign nation if they have the guts to take the leap and just do it. After the whole MAGNUS issue though, he elected to leave, hoping to get a job as a translator for Spanish speaking communities back on the US West Coast somewhere. And here we reach the present.

Fearless Leader

Name: Scott Summers
Age: 22
Alias(es): Cyclops, Cyke, Scotty, Slim, Stick-in-the-Mud (if not worse), Boyscout

Appearance

Costume:

Equipment

Visor: The mask Scott wears to prevent random discharge is lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal. It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clam-shell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor their is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed in the thumb of either glove.

Powers

Optic Energy Blasts: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinium universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinium universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles generate great, directional concussive force when they interact with the objects of this universe.

Cyclops's mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles, and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of Cyclops's eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected.

The width of Cyclops's eye-blast seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his oriinal eyes' ability to focus. As Cyclops focuses, the size of the aperture changes and thus act as a valve to control the flow of particles and beam's relative power. The height of Cyclops's eye-blast is controlled by his visor's adjustable slit. His narrowest beam, about the diameter of a pencil at a distance of 4 feet has a force of about 2 pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam 4 feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops's eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35mm camera lens field of view (90 degree measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding this magazine's pages spread open, upright at 9.5 inches from your eyes). The minimum angular measurement is equivalent to the angle that the thickness of a pencil would subtend at 4 feet (3.5 degree, about a quarter of an inch viewed at 4 feet). The beam's effective range is about 2,000 feet, at which point a 1-inch beam has spread out to 10 feet square, and then has a pressure of .38 pounds per square inch. Cyclops's maximum force is sufficient to tip over a filled 5,000 gallon tank at a distance of 20 feet, or puncture a 1-inch carbon-steel plate at a distance of 2 feet.

The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops's eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops's psionic field is active (which is constantly), there is the potential to emit energy. The only limit to the eye-blast is the mental fatigue of focusing constantly. After about 15 minute of constant usage, the psionic field subsides and allows only a slight leakage of energy to pass through the aperture. Cyclops's metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes.

History: When Scott was just a little boy, his world was turned upside down. On what was meant to be a routine flight alongside her air-force parents and little sib' Alex, a bright flash heralded the snuffing out of the normal future this family thought it had in store. With the airplane's controls failing, a crying mother lashed her two children together in the only available parachute and sent them out into the stormy night. When Scott Summers woke up, it was in a hospital, weeks later, and he had gone from a blissful child to an amnesiac orphan in short order.

Heavily traumatized, the boy was unable to accept that his parents and brother were gone, that he had no memory of losing them, that he could barely remember their faces, their names. The Doctor overseeing his case, Essex, took a curious amount of interest in him, and kept watch over Scott. After a few weeks, a dream hit him. He and Alex, falling away from flames, and his eyes lit up, shooting fire and force, slowing his descent. When he came to, all he knew was fire and smoke - the same optic blasts, now rendered uncontrollable by the damage he'd suffered in his fall, had torn the upper floor of the hospital apart. Again his world and his mind fell into darkness.

When he awoke, it was a year later, and he'd gone from the west coast to the midwest, placed in a Foundling's Home in Nebraska. Here, Scott was overseen by the reclusive Dr. Millbury, who put his charges through test after test in an effort to gauge 'special development'. During his time here, he was constantly bullied by the boy with whom he shared a bunk, and was constantly getting into fights. As time wore on, she began to have headaches, and Millbury called in a specialist, who diagnosed him with a rare form of macular degeneration and prescribed the use of a specialized set of lenses constructed from a rare ruby quartz matrix.

During a group outing, a fight with one of the other orphans lead to Scotts powers triggering, a lash of red energy blasting from his eyes and knocking out the support struts on a nearby crane. As the debris cascaded down towards a crowd of terrified bystanders, he let her powers lose again, obliterating the rest of the falling crane and saving everyone. Convinced he'd attacked them all, the crowd began to froth into a mob, and Scott escaped on foot, finding escape on a freight train heading east.

On his own, Scott fell in with a group of thieves running a racket in Pennsylvania. It was here he fell under the sway of Jack "the Diamond" Winters, a local bookie, who raised the teenager from then on, instilling in him a sense of bullying street 'code' and using him as a tool of extortion and intimidation, all the while hammering compliance into him with gaslighting and emotional abuse. Eventualy, Jack made a misstep, and was encroached upon by the FBI. Caught red-handed in a sting, Jack and Scott were separated, and Scott was brought in by the FBI, but instead of incarceration, he was visited by a very interesting person; the geneticist Charles Xavier.

Xavier took Scott and set about teaching him that he had more value than he attributed to himself - something he is to this day working on - and teaching him about the coming storm that faced all of humanity. He saw the isolated instances of violence like the one he'd experienced and knew they'd only increase as people like the two of them became increasingly common and visible. Though it took some finishing, he eventually won over his confidence and got him to listen to his way of thinking. He followed Xavier around as this new father figure began to assemble other youth in revolt and training them, both mentally and physically, to protect humanity. "The time will come," he would say, "when those with extraordinary power and without responsibility will use their gifts for the worst possible ends. We must combat this, and show the world that people like us will always be more a force for good than ever for evil."

After the incident in China, the Professor named Scott the field leader of the X-Men, citing his performance and demeanor. He had a crisis of faith, briefly following, in which he considered leaving all together, unsure of his ability to lead such an endeavor, but was ultimately reassured by his friends and squadmates, and decided to stay on.

Unfortnunately, the X-men would be forced to disband. Being virtual prisoners in S.H.I.E.L.D's Index was the last thing Proffesor Xavier wished for his students, so he had them go off the grid as soon as possible. Leaving Westechester behind, Scott traveled to Anchorage in Alaska, where he reunited with his only living relatives, his grandparents. Philip and Deborah Summers owned North Star Airways, a shipping company in which Scott begun working a part-time job as a bush pilot while completing his schooling. In the intervening years, Cyclops has watched and studied every happening, from Ultrons rise to the Inhuman Breakout and the Superhuman Civil War...but all of them from the sidelines. Yet he still awaits, preparing both his mind and body for the day that the Proffesor finally makes the call...

History:

“Child of the Atom”

Henry "Hank" McCoy was born and raised in Dunfee, Illinois, the son of Norton and Edna McCoy. His father worked at a nuclear power plant where he was exposed to massive amounts of radiation during an accident. Norton was completely unharmed, but the radiation affected his genes and, as a result, his son was born a mutant. Unlike most mutants, Henry showed signs of mutation from birth:[7] unusually large hands and feet.He managed to keep this relatively secret as a youth, putting it down to excessive hormones. A prodigy, Hank was also endowed with an innate superhuman intellect which itself was a curse. Hank’s mind was always racing, always thinking he never could find a way to shut himself off. At least not until his high school years where he entered the football program and excelled, finding a vocation that would allow him to vent his frustrations.

“Big Blue”

In an effort to fit in with the crowd, Hank had played down his intelligence for years, developing a reputation as “the nice jock” with a heart of gold and who did pretty well in tests. Life did seem to be going well for the young McCoy up until one particular night. That evening, Hank and a few friends had gone off to the latest Simon Williams film at the movies. It was the late showing, so they were the only ones there. As they film was entering its final few minutes, a thief stuck up the cashier in hopes of a decent score. Unfortunately, it was in that moment that Hank and his friends began leaving the screen, spooking the gunman and forcing him to open fire. Blacking out, Hank awoke several hours later and his world had changed. Not only were all of his friends dead but so was the gunman and the once handsome young footballer was now covered in blue fur and seemed controlled by his instincts. In the following months, an increasingly primal Hank would wait until dark and then break into food stores to survive. During one such outing, he came across Charles Xavier, who used his own unique abilities to unlock Hank’s brilliant mind and bring it back from the brink. Psychologically back to his old self but still physically a big blue ape, Hank felt lost until Xavier offered him a place of refuge and education.

“Dr McCoy, I presume?”

At Xavier’s School, Hank found solace among like minded friends, none of whom judged him on his ape-like appearance. Through Xavier’s teachings, the young man learned to shift between his ape and human form, allowing him some semblance of a normal life. hat said however, McCoy slowly over time began to understand that the "beast" was his true self and thus walked around the mansion in that form most of the time, only taking human form when the situation demanded it. Hank soon began to take an interest in science, particularly medicine and hoped to go to medical school once he learned to fully control what Charles called “a mutation”. He developed an idolisation of a famous surgeon in New York called Stephen Strange. It became Hank's goal to become the first physician in the world to be able to specialise on metahumans of all kinds, not just mutants. Before that could happen however, he and his friends had to deal with an incredible danger, MAGNUS. After the event in China, Hank and the group that had come to call themselves the X-Men went their separate ways. Hank went back to college and got himself a degree, earning his way into medical school and taking one step closer to his dream.

At Xavier’s School, Hank found solace among like minded friends, none of whom judged him on his ape-like appearance. Through Xavier’s teachings, the young man learned to shift between his ape and human form, allowing him some semblance of a normal life. hat said however, McCoy slowly over time began to understand that the "beast" was his true self and thus walked around the mansion in that form most of the time, only taking human form when the situation demanded it. Hank soon began to take an interest in science, particularly medicine and hoped to go to medical school once he learned to fully control what Charles called “a mutation”. He developed an idolisation of a famous surgeon in New York called Stephen Strange. It became Hank's goal to become the first physician in the world to be able to specialise on metahumans of all kinds, not just mutants. Before that could happen however, he and his friends had to deal with an incredible danger, MAGNUS. After the event in China, Hank and the group that had come to call themselves the X-Men went their separate ways. Hank went back to college and got himself a degree, earning his way into medical school and taking one step closer to his dream.

@BrutalBx

Accepted, although there IS no Xavier's School.

Not yet, anyway.

[Ruby]

There. Sorry about the copy pasted parts, but, he's canon to a degree still..

Being that this Wolverine is part of the MCU, and not Fox, I've placed him as still trying to piece together his past.

Primary Superpower: Wolverine is a mutant who possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The speed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage Wolverine suffers.

Wolverine’s natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced.

In addition, Wolverine’s healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Although over a century old, Wolverine is as healthy and physically fit as a man in his prime.

Wolverine also possesses a superhuman level of acute senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance greater than a normal human’s. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Wolverine can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.

Secondary Superpower: Wolverine’s skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor.

Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.

Wolverine’s entire skeletal structure, including his claws, has been artificially bonded to the nearly indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, Wolverine’s bones are virtually unbreakable, and his claws are capable of cutting through almost any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force he can exert. Due to his healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in his body does not interfere with his bones’ normal function of generating blood corpuscles. The reinforcement of his skeleton enables Wolverine to withstand high levels of physical pressure, giving his muscles sufficient force to briefly lift/press several hundred pounds.

Skills: Due to his extensive training as a soldier, a C.I.A. operative, a samurai, a spy, and a member of the X-Men, Wolverine is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, having mastered virtually every fighting style on Earth. He is also a trained expert in multiple types of weapons, vehicles, computer systems, explosives, and assassination techniques. Wolverine is fluent in many languages, including Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Weakness: Despite the extent of his healing factor, Wolverine is not immortal. If the injuries are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form.

Biography

Logan possesses memories of being a Samurai in Japan, a mercenary operative for the Central Intelligence Agency, and a "wild man" in the Canadian wilderness. Due to extensive memory implants given to Logan through the Weapon X program, any or all of these memories are suspect. Logan has at least one memory of meeting Captain America (Steve Rogers) in World War II while he was in the Canadian Army which has been verified as true.

Sometime after World War II, Logan was taken by a group of scientists led by Dr. Cornelius as part of the Weapon X program. Cornelius was hired to perfect and use a technique that would bond the indestructible element adamantium to human bone cells. Logan's skeleton was bonded to the adamantium, and he was indoctrinated into the Weapon X assassin program.

Wolverine was conscripted by Department H, and for his first mission was sent against the Incredible Hulk. Hulk had grown so enraged in the battle, that Wolverine's adamantium claws failed to penetrate Hulk's skin.

The Hulk emerged victorious and Hulk abandoned the unconscious Wolverine, unaware of his healing factor. The defeated Wolverine returned to Department H. Still slated to take leadership of Alpha Flight, Wolverine spent weeks completing some espionage missions, even when various factors made him increasingly troubled by his service to Department H.

@DC The Dragon

Approved.

We'll have to write down his connections; with Cap, with Peggy Carter, with Nick Fury, etc, etc.

Effects of Mutation
Aesthetics	It isn't a challenge to tell, even at first glance, that Kurt is not a homo sapien. In fact, his skin is just shy of being completely drowned out by his dense, short blue fur. He has a navy blue skin tone and a pair of bright yellow eyes. His canines are terrifying, sharp and and white like the moon. That's not actually part of his mutation, they're just intimidating.
Camouflage	Kurt can shroud himself in total darkness whenever he wants, but because a humanoid cloud of nothing isn't particularly inconspicuous, it can be used to maximum effect when he is already concealed in a shadow. It comes from tensing his body as though he is about to teleport, it causes the vacuum he travels through to open and swallow the light.
Tail	He has a prehensile tail that bears a striking resemblance to that of certain classical depictions of demons. It possesses a hefty, pointy growth on the end that can be used like an underdeveloped scorpion.
Teleportation	You can be talking to Kurt one moment and be having a perfectly smooth conversation, but the moment his mind slips away -- BAMF! -- it's gone. So is the rest of his body, in case you're wondering. He can typically only teleport over to a place within his line of sight, if he is expected to do so with any degree of precision. When he travels, he uses a vacuum as a shortcut, that is the reason why a black cloud appears around him. The light simply cannot escape from the vacuum that Kurt uses.

Backstory
Upbringing	Kurt was raised by his father in a remote town miles from the legendary Black Forest. As a young boy, he was rowdy and bombastic. Naturally, he would challenge his neighbor boys to duels with sticks as they'd yearn for a taste of real adventure. Unless he was playing Final Fantasy or Dungeons and Dragons. He was rather content in those times.
Mutant Powers	One day Kurt's smooth and untarnished body was intruded upon by a long and curly -- pubic hair. But it didn't stop there. He felt freakish as the hair continued to spread, growing like cancer across his entire being. As his skin's vibrance have way to a dull blue, he was certain that death was near. His loving father too him to a hospital, for the first time in his life. As for Kurt's condition, he seemed to generate a tail in a matter of moments. Naturally, the hospital notified higher medical authorities, who called their higher authorities in turn, and so on until he wound up in the custody of SHIELD. He tried to run away, but was quickly sedated. Upon awakening, he found himself restrained. He struggled while need in labcoats observed, but while wrestling against his bonds, he threw his chest forward before exploding into being on the other side of the room. At this time, the young man had to contend with a serious of astonishingly precise shots from an archer before navigating his way out of the facility, one BAMF at a time. Once he was outside, under the cover of night, he was rendered simply invisible. He had escaped from SHIELD that night. Whilst imprisoned he'd heard chatter from the labcoated men that he was likely a mutant. He had no idea what to do with that information. So he went home to pretend nothing had happened. His father never came home.
Nightcrawler vs Things That Go Bump In The Night	Kurt left home that day, the townspeople would reject him, he was sure of it. Whenever he'd allowed himself to be seen on public, he was decried as an enemy of God. So he decided that he would disappear into the Black Forest, where he would battle against bears and wolves all the typical fauna to get a decent meal. That is, until he met the BAMFs. BAMFs, tiny little creatures who look like caricatures of Kurt. The rowdy little things decided that he was their father. No matter how Kurt tried to contest that notion, they came back around to believing. They're really big on maintaining faith. Now the reason that they decided they needed to have faith in Kurt, or Nightcrawler as they'd come to calling him, was that they needed him to save them from a pack of trolls that had been a thorn in their side for far too long. So Kurt followed after them, not one to leave the helpless in danger. It turns out that the BAMFs were the target of harrassment from one particular clan of trolls who live under a bridge. While the trolls initially attempted to murder Kurt so that they could eat his flesh, they were simply incapable of keeping up. So instead they challenged him to a sword duel upon nightfall. Kurt agreed, reasoning that if he were to fall he'd probably be sent to some sort of pleasant afterlife. Not the case at all, Kurt was given the advantage based on the fact that he kept subconsciously tensing himself and masking both his blade and body in deep shadow, which allowed him to disgrace the troll and convince them all that it was a bad idea to harass the BAMFs. The BAMFs swore that they would never forget him. No, they really wouldn't.
Don't Mess With The X-Men	Kurt had taken off, leaving the forest in favor of Stockholm, where he lived in the shadows as a swashbuckler spoken of only by alcoholics and religious fanatics. Now, it was at this time in his life that he was first contacted by Professor Xavier and the roots of his X-Men. They asked him to go on a quest to foil a plot by a brotherhood of evil mutants and avert a nuclear Holo. He did. Having saved the world, they expressly broke up before Kurt returned to Germany, seeking further adventure, but mostly finding disappointment.
X-Men Once Again	Here. We. Go.

I've been out of the loop for a while, though part of me wants to get back into (recreational) writing.

Hider

You need a Ruski?

[Ultimate Spidey]

My apologies for taking so long with completing my CS. I don't have too much more to do, mainly finishing her bio. I should be able to finish later tonight.

@Ruby I'm probably going to leave the whole possibly of Polaris being related to MAGNUS/Magneto up to you. If you want Magneto and Lorna to be father and daughter, then great. If not, that's cool. If their relationship has nothing to do with the game you've planned then that's fine too.

Ororo Munroe, "Storm." - a WIP

Name: Ororo Munroe
Age: 19
Alias: Storm

Appearance:

Powers: Atmokinesis: Ororo can control and generate weather patterns of and within most planetary systems: creating tornadoes, hurricanes, dust storms, lightning. If it is a natural weather occurrence, she can likely manipulate it--and on an atomic level at that, though this comes with necessary precision and control.

History: To be written.

In my opinion, keeping Lornas relation to Magneto is always an interesting dynamic to play with.
