RIP Stan Lee... You will forever be missed. As someone whose grown up reading Marvel comics, you've always have kind of been a part of my life. Thank you for making most of the Marvel heroes we know.

Bio
WIP I'm coming back after forever so clearing all of this seems like a good choice.
Just few basic things.
1. Left for my own sort of health reasons. 2. I ran a game for almost a decade when I stepped away from everything. 3. Currently working on getting an interest check up for the game I am going to hopefully be able to run.
"Ooh, that sounds like a good idea. Pepper was saying how I needed to take her out on a date or something. Universal it is then, I think you'll have fun... And what makes you think Lance wouldn't be able to handle the House of Horrors? Sure, probably couldn't handle a horror movie to save his life but still, he might be able to," he said with a laugh. He was glad that Guin seemed to be feeling better by now, at least enough so she was talking about something other than what had happened.
When Lance heard the Hulk again, he let out a sigh, turning to face his father. He saw the blood on Banner's wrists, and it made him yank down on his own sleeves slightly, hiding his own marks like that. Letting out a sigh, he walked closer, "Hey, Hulk... Leave him alone alright..." Lance said, looking at him. The fact that he had gotten used to this sort of thing was sad, but he couldn't really do anything about it. Yes, he wasn't to thrilled with his dad at the moment, and he was sometimes scared at how much they were alike, he wasn't going to let the Hulk bully him like that.
Name: Miranda Madeline Fay Aliases: Mandy Age: 19 Birthday: March 2, 1964 Birth Place: Juneau, Alaska Gender: Female Powers:
Retrocognition - The power to discern events of the past.
Holographic Projection - The power to manipulate holograms.
Appearance
Height: 5 feet, 4 inches Weight: 106 pounds Build: Slim Eyes: Blue Hair: Light Brown Skin Tone: Fair Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Ears pierced Personal Style: She generally wears a blouse or shirt with long pants of some kind when she is outside, or doing something that makes a skirt impractical. Otherwise, she generally wears a skirt to go with the blouse/shirt. Miranda tends to wear a nicer jacket to match her outfit, and a pair of nice shoes or boots, depending on what she is wearing.
Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship Status: Single Personality: Miranda is not your typical girl at all. Despite the era she has grown up in, and the society she is from, Miranda is rather smart and not afraid to show just how much she knows. She is stubborn about what she wants to do, what she thinks, and will not back down from a fight very easily. This goes along with her outgoing personality as she tends to have more energy and be more of a person who is talkative and helping.
One of the many downsides to the way she is as a person is that she is very impulsive. She tends to make rash decisions on a whim, no matter what type of situation. She is a friendly person, wanting to get to know and befriend just about everyone she meets, no matter what. It doesn't matter to her who you are or what your past is, she will most likely try to befriend you. Despite all of that, she has been known to have somewhat of a temper, so you'd have to be able to deal with that before you could get close to her. Habits: Twisting her hair, tapping her fingers Hobbies: Playing piano, tinkering with technology Fears:
Death

History
How did you discover your powers:
Miranda was 15 years old when she discovered her powers. She had been helping to clean out the attic of their house, planning on getting rid of some of the old stuff, things that 10 years before her mother had left behind, as well as anything else they needed to get rid of. She found an old painting, and it made her curious as to where it had come from, when suddenly she went into a trance-like state, and saw the entire history of the painting play out for her like a movie, and her brothers had to snap her out of it. That night, when she fell asleep, she started dreaming, but after only a few minutes, she was shaken awake by someone, as it turned out, she had been creating holograms of her dream. They couldn't hurt anyone, but they had almost seemed like they were there. She knew she had to hide her powers as best as she could, but it was hard with 5 brothers who liked to mess with her as a joke, and cause her to use her powers.
General History:
Miranda was born the youngest of 7 kids, not to mention that she was the only girl in the family. Her mother left the family when she was 5 years old, and she hadn't seen her since. Their father worked all of the time to support the family, leaving Miranda in the care of her 6 older brothers, Jeremy, Jason, the twins Tristan and Tim, Marcus, and Matthew being the one closest to her in age. They treated her like she was a lot younger than she was, even though she was only the youngest by 2 years, and it bugged her a lot.
Out of her brothers, she was the closest with the oldest of them, Jeremy. He was older than her by almost 10 years, but that didn't matter to her. He was the closest one to her, and was like a surrogate father to her growing up, since their own father was absent most of the time. She loved her brother, but the others weren't exactly the nicest people around to her. Especially when it became apparent that she was a girl who knew what she was doing, having the major brains in the family.
When she was 10 years old, Jeremy enlisted in the army. She didn't want to see him go, but there wasn't much else she could do. He was an adult, and he wanted to leave, and she understood that. Before he left, he bought her a locket, and gave it to her, telling her he wants to see what she put in it when he got home. Problem was, he never came back, dying on the battlefield. She felt so alone, being left with the siblings who didn't really care much about her, but she didn't know what else she could do. There wasn't anyone else who she felt truly cared so she just went with whatever life seemed to throw at her.
She threw herself into her schooling, and was easily the top in her class no matter what the subject matter was. Miranda tended to lean more science surprisingly, and she found that she loved it. That wasn't the only thing she took an interest in, she found that she loved messing with computers and different pieces of technology. Her family frowned upon this, but also found that it was impossible to stop her from pursuing it in anyway. She was happy, for what felt like the first time since Jeremy had died, and she was not going to let anyone stop her from doing what she loved.
When she discovered her powers when she was 15 years old, things seemed to take a turn for the worst in her family. She was mocked by her brothers, and then they would try to find ways for her powers to trigger. In one case, it got so bad for her that she ended up unconscious in a hospital as her mind tried to filter through everything she had been seeing about the past. After she graduated high school, she started going towards the idea of getting a college degree, but she didn't have the money for it, so she became a waitress and that was what she was doing when she was found and approached by Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr.
*By submitting this CS in its completion I am stating I have read all the rules for this Rp and am agreeing to follow them to the fullest with respect and courtesy. I acknowledge that I can and will be removed from the RP without warning if I break a rule or cause problems with my fellow Rpers or the GM.
"Yeah, well Banner has learned that he has his own problems to deal with, don't worry, it won't matter Guin. Don't even care about what he thinks, it isn't like he knows what to do half of the time anyway... Kind of wonder if Pepper is still out there with Banner, or if she left the room when Lance walked in... So, what sort of parks are we going to today?"
Lance heard his dad somewhat Hulk out. It was still weird, and somewhat unsettling, to see the Hulk only shift part way in control, it was so freaky. He was used to the Hulk showing up by now, main reason that for the most part, he tried to keep his temper down, but lately it had become a lot harder for him to do that, ever since he discovered his powers. Most days, it felt like he was looking for a reason to fight his dad, to fight the Hulk if he could. People constantly compared him to the Hulk, so he didn't really know what to do anymore.
"...No I'm not... You can think that all you want Guin, but everything I said is one hundred percent true... I love you Penguin, and you do make me a better person, really. My life is a whole lot better with you in it, no matter what you may think... Now... Aren't we here to have a vacation? We've only been in California for 24 hours, and already there have been a few big fights that have broken out. What do you say we go hit the theme parks?"
"Look, just leave me alone alright! That's what you're good at, leaving me alone, not even noticing me or anything!" Lance yelled, his hands starting to glow with a faint light. He turned away from Banner again, and just kept walking away, "No one would care if I was gone... Everyone would be better off if I didn't even exist!"
Location: Somewhere in Canada Time Frame: October 18, 1983 RP Tags: Casual, Large Group, Fantasy, Fandom, Slice of Life Type: An action role-play that is character driven and takes place in the universe of the role-play Abandoned Hope. This RP is a prequel to X-Men: Darkness Rising Goal: To put an end to the Weapon X program, and avoid getting caught and put into the program. Age: Characters have to at least be 18 years old.
Premise
Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
These are the words that Charles Xavier has said numerous times over the years, but there was a point in time, where most humans did not know of the existence of mutants, and they were able to coexist peacefully. Those days, are far behind us, for there were some members of the United States government who know of them, and wish to use these individuals with extraordinary abilities as weapons of war. They set up a program, specifically for this job, and put money towards it, funding it so they could try and find them, and see what they could learn.
These plans were discovered by two mutants, friends who wished to prevent mutants from being used like this. Their names? Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr. They found out about program, but only knew that it was somewhere in the Canadian wilderness, and not easy to find. With the help of a friend, they were able to create Cerebro, in order to amplify Charles' powers, to the point where he could find mutants before those who work with the program do.
They track down these individuals, and hope to turn this group of strangers into a team that can work together to shut the program down. If they fail, they risk exposing mutants to the world, and in a very harsh light, and success could mean the same thing if they aren't careful. There is more at stake, as the Weapon X program is looking for "volunteers" for its next project constantly. If the team isn't careful, they might end up as participants in the program themselves.
Weapon X
Weapon X was a code name for a secret U.S. Government project intended to deliberately induce superpowers for military purposes. It was the tenth installment of the Weapon Plus Program. In the case of Weapon X, the mechanism was genetic engineering, specifically, creating mutations in normal humans and enhancing existing mutations. The successive projects had Roman numerals, so Weapon X was the tenth such project. Some confusion has arisen because this same name has applied to several different projects as well as several of the project's "graduates."
The original Weapon X Program started in the United States during the 1960s by Professor Thorton under Romulus' influence. Sponsored by American Central Intelligence Agency, Weapon X recruited skilled intelligence operatives to form a squad named Team X, composed of Romulus' agents Logan, (codenamed Subject X) Victor Creed and Silver Fox, and C.I.A. operatives David North (codenamed Maverick), John Wraith (codenamed Kestrel) and Mastodon. During these years, Team X members received memory implants via several methods, including low-quality stage scenarios, machines provided by Romulus, and psychic manipulations by one of the Weapon X's allies, Aldo Ferro. In 1963 Silver Fox fled Weapon X for her own reasons during a mission in Cuba, allying with enemy soldiers.
In 1968 Romulus had Weapon X operatives in Dallas, Texas, experimenting on Logan with Carbonadium pills; Team X later had a mission in Berlin, where they obtained the Carbonadium Synthesizer and C.I.A. double agent Janice Hollenbeck; they were opposed by Omega Red, but they successfully escaped while Wraith distracted him. Team X later disbanded after that mission, with Logan and Creed returning working for Romulus while Maverick, Mastodon and Wraith remained under C.I.A.'s authority. The Weapon X Program then continued operating under the cover of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In the 1970s former Team X member Logan briefly joined Canadian's Department K as an intelligence member, also working with C.I.A. agents Richard and Mary Parker. During this time, Department K found a way to replicate Logan's healing factor and implement it into other subjects; one of such subjects was Wade Wilson, a man who suffered from cancer who had enlisted in Department K searching for a cure. Weapon X implemented healing factor in Wilson's body, temporarily regressing his cancer. Department K then formed an early installment of Weapon P.R.I.M.E. squad composed by Wilson, Sluggo, Kane and Slayback; they were later joined by Wade's girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle, codenamed Copycat. Under unknown circumstances, Wilson killed Slayback during a mission; his health then got worse and worse, so he was taken to the Hospice, a Weapon X Facility directed by Dr. Emrys Killebrew and his assistant Francis Fanny, codenamed Ajax. There, Killebrew and Ajax made terrible experiments on Wilson, who was also tortured by Ajax. Adopted the name Deadpool, Wade led a massive breakout from the Hospice, and the Canadian branch of Weapon X was shut down afterwards.
Meanwhile, criminal mastermind Romulus eventually decided to revamp a new iteration of Weapon X, again formed by Truett Hudson, a.k.a. Professor Thorton, F.B.I. scientist Dr. Abraham Cornelius and former N.A.S.A. operative Carol Hines. This installment, codenamed Experiment X, operated in a Department K Facility located near Roanoke in Alberta, Canada.
Our World
In the Abandoned Hope Universe, we have known that we were not alone in the world since 2012, due to the Incident. Aliens are real, powered individuals are possible, and anything else? It is the stuff of fiction, of Harry Potter novels and horror flicks. But of course, that is the public perception, largely due to the efforts of MI13, O.M.E.N., and S.H.I.E.L.D. The world just isn't ready to know about what else is real, causing the Altsoba Massacre to be deemed an event driven by religious paranoia and hallucinogenics. Nothing abnormal at all. Had the Incident been less public, it would have been covered up and hidden as well.
Previously, any and all powers and abilities were simply referred to as deviances. If someone was perhaps a little odd, in that they could see things that others could not, perhaps that they could heal with a single touch, or that they were immune to flames, they were said to have a deviance. Years after the Altsoba Massacre, this definition was revoked and revised, as we realized that it is simply more complicated than that.
Mutants, also called homo superior, are powered individuals who gain their abilities due to an X-gene. This gene is something that is simply part of their genetic makeup from birth. It can be activated when the individual is subjected to great stress, often during puberty or traumatic moments. It's important to understand that while a mutant's powers can be called a mutation, they were born mutants. They did not mutate throughout the course of their lifetime.
Mutates are those who, as the name implied, mutated to gain powers. This is often due to the presence of electromagnetic radiation outside of the visible spectrum. Encounters with radioactive waste would certainly qualify. It is possible for those with an X-gene to mutate when exposed to radiation or other materials, but it is uncommon and also effectively 'neutralizes' the X-gene.
Inhumans, also called inhomo supremis, are individuals who are descended by unfortunate souls who were experimented on and had their genetic code modified. This unorthodoxy in genetics can be activated through a process called terringenesis, in which the inhuman emerges from something akin to a cocoon with newfound abilities and powers.

Tony held Guin, saying nothing for a few minutes. He was finding it hard to find the right words to say to Guin to make her feel better, but it was difficult. No matter what he said, he knew that Guin would blame herself or something like that. "Look, I don't think I'd be better off without you... I think you make me a better person, you and Pepper both do," he said with a smile, still holding onto her, "We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. You aren't a disappointment Guin..."
"No, they don't... My emotions and feelings have never mattered, now just leave me alone," Lance muttered, before he turned to head out of the room. He wasn't too great at talking about his emotions, much like his father, and when he was forced to confront them, he shut down, and didn't want to talk to anyone about them. So what if he had depression, a lot of people in the world did.
Tony let out another sigh, before he pulled Guin in for a hug. "Look, I know what Banner said upset you, hell I got into a shouting match with him about it after you and Lance left the room... Which he somehow remained calm and didn't turn into the Hulk during, which was surprising... Anyway, those things weren't true... I've never thought of you as an accident, as a mistake... I love you Penguin..."
Lance just shoved his hands deeper in his pockets, looking at the ground still, and not going closer to his father at all. "Look, I don't want to talk about it, alright? Leave me alone about it, it's nothing important, it doesn't matter..." he muttered, still not looking up at him. This entire thing was not his favorite thing to talk about, at all, and hoped that his dad would just drop the subject.
Tony hesitated, trying to figure out the words to say regarding what Banner had said. There wasn't going to be an easy way to talk about this, that much was obvious. He was grateful that Lance for the most part had recognized the fact that they needed to talk and left the room, though he didn't exactly envy him right then. Odds were that if Banner calmed, he'd talk to Lance about what had been said or whatever. "Alright... We need to talk about what was said back there..." he said, looking at her.
Lance was not too thrilled that Pepper had left the room. He did not want to be in the room alone with his dad, no matter what, especially after what had been said about Guin. Based on what Pepper had said, he figured that he had come up in the conversation, and when he heard Banner's words, he instantly knew what, and wished he could just disappear. "Whatever, not like any of it matters..." Lance muttered, not looking at his father. This was not a conversation he wanted to be having with him.
WIP I'm coming back after forever so clearing all of this seems like a good choice.
Just few basic things.
1. Left for my own sort of health reasons.
2. I ran a game for almost a decade when I stepped away from everything.
3. Currently working on getting an interest check up for the game I am going to hopefully be able to run.
All set, that's all for now.
