Current Almost exactly one year since I step away from being here, and a lot can change in that amount of time. Here's hoping I can find a game or two and see how things go from here.

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.

All set, that's all for now.

Yeah, right, whatever... Not like it really matters. Lance responded to Guin, before he noticed his dad had come over. Of course, he didn't know what Guin had found out, and what she had just told him, so it wasn't a surprise that the laser light show had made him assume it was about Sterns. Though the truth was he was flipping out a little bit internally about him, there wasn't much he could do, and he doubted if his dad was going to even let him out of the house right now. "Okay," he muttered, saying nothing else.

"Good, maybe he's got something useful for us, otherwise we are still at the beginning and can't do much about it now can we? Hopefully he didn't accidentally break something outside or whatever," Tony said, before he went over to see if Thor knew anything. Hopefully he had something helpful, since they were all out of ideas on how to find Sterns.




Miranda Fay




Xavier thought for a moment about what Katalina had said about wanting to try dodging something a little faster, Miranda was way ahead of him though. She was tired of feeling useless, so she decided to pick up a book. "Well, let's see if you two can protect yourselves, give me a moment," she said, before wandering off. A few moments later, she had a large stack of things, from books and pens, to plastic mixing bowls that she had found lying around the house.

"Miranda, I don't think throwing things at them would help very much," he said, eyeing what looked to be some sharp knives in the stack of things she had brought over. This was not going to end well, especially if she got lucky with a few of those shots, it could seriously injure them, but he also knew that the odds of talking her out of it were slim, as there wasn't much else she could do right then. "Just be careful, alright?"

"Don't worry Charles, it'll be fine... Probably... Don't worry, odds of me actually hitting them are slim, I don't generally throw things at people at all. So I probably won't actually hit them or anything, at least anywhere vital," she said, before she started throwing things. The first things she started throwing were sharpened pencils, and threw them right at Mythri, at quite an alarming speed. One seemed to be heading straight for her head, with the pointed end heading straight for her, other pencils were flying quickly as well. She didn't stop there to see if she had blocked them, before she sent a few things flying at Katalina. Several objects were thrown her way, namely books, and like with the pencils, were coming at her at an alarming rate. The last one she threw seemed to be heading a lot quicker than the others, straight for her head.
This roleplay is in need of new players, it hasn't been running for very long, so there is plenty of time for new characters to be added in, if interested, go here which is the OOC topic for it. Hope you all decide to join us.

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.

Characters





Character Sheet

Below is the character sheet required for the RP.







@LadyRunic@Peridot@FantasyChic Xavier nodded at them, but he had watched the interaction with Folly. "She was unstable, even when she was at the mansion, we did our best to help her, however, I learned eventually that she was not one to be able to be helped. Folly had a breakdown and nearly killed someone, which is why she was sent to a mental hospital," he said simply, giving the really short version of what probably had gone through Folly's head when she walked in and saw him. "Her stomping on your foot is probably the least she could have done, she has a regenerative healing factor, very similar to Wolverine's in strength, that would prevent you from easily harming her. It also causes problems with any normal anti-psychotic medications, as they do not effect her."



Lance Banner, Marygold Isley, and Mirembe Adebayo


Location: Stark Tower




Mary let out a sigh, before she looked at Sara. "There was a reason I was a little hesitant to contact the others, though Scott and Jean were the only ones I would have contacted if needed. I can guess where they went, after all, the Morlocks are a much easier target... Their mutations aren't really powers, they just have different appearances... And Remy already called me, offering to come up, but... The only way he and Rogue would be able to get here in a few hours would be if they flew, and the Sentinels could easily shoot them out of the sky, same with Ororo, since our powers don't very much work on them."

Pietro let out a sigh, staring at Guin, "Not my fault you are probably one of the most blind people here... I mean seriously, it's way too obvious. But fine, I'll leave him alone."

"Well, if we're going to meet up with Jakobsen, we should probably see about leaving pretty soon, after all, it might take us a little while to find the place," Mary said, still thinking about everything that had happened in the last few hours, though she doubted she was the only one thinking about that. She headed to the elevator, pushing the button, and motioning for those who were going to head downstairs to the street level.

Mira was thinking, before like Cass she decided to do something useful. She knew technology, much like Guin did, and it made sense in her mind to see if she could help as well. She followed after Cassandra to where Tony was. "If you don't mind Mr. Stark, I'd like to see about helping out as well," she said softly, looking at him.

"Well, currently JARVIS is still going over the data he pulled from the Blackbird's computer, but Agent Reed, you mentioned using EMP grenades that seemed to be effective against them, so, we should see about making more of them, or maybe even a larger weapon, an EMP pulse gun or something like that in order to slow them down. That's just my take so far based on the conversations we've been having with everyone else."

"It makes sense to me, we'd need to be able to shrink down an EMP generator in order to do that though, at least to put it in a handheld weapon as opposed to just a one time use grenade..."

Lance was glad that Pietro had decided not to try and beat him up or something, but he didn't say anything more, just staring out the window. He wanted whatever was going on to be over quickly, and there wasn't much they could do in their situation, nothing to really improve it. There was the fact that he didn't want to be at Stark Tower, but that problem was at a minimum compared to the massive problems they had right then.

He let out a sigh, before he wandered back towards where the others, and like Carolina went back to watching the news, seeing if anything new popped up. So far, there wasn't anything else mentioned about the mansion, nothing more. It made him think that maybe OMEN was covering things up, making it so that they only showed the public, what they wanted them to see, basically controlling the media. If that was true, then it meant that the odds of them getting any sort of public favor on their side was really slim. Since OMEN could just make it so that everything supported what they were saying, as opposed to the truth.


Jason and Janelle Gauger


Location: Seattle, Washington
Interacting With: Gideon, Scott, Isley, Cynthia




Jason glared at Scott, not saying anything when he slid his number over to her. The guy just loved to get on everyone's nerves, no matter who it was, but for some weird reason, was fine being around his sister, which was annoying, but it couldn't be helped. There was nothing he could do about it, so he just nodded, falling silent as he listened to everyone else.

Janelle nodded her head, taking the paper that Scott had handed her with his phone number on it and put it into her pocket, figuring to add it into a phone later. She heard the others get up to leave, they both had a reason to go, a good reason anyway. Working and figuring out what was up with his car were probably good things to think about. She heard them go, just waving slightly as they left, noticing that the others were sticking around, for the moment anyway.

He looked at the numbers that Isley and Gideon wrote down, before quickly pulling his phone out and adding in the numbers, and he didn't need to ask Cynthia for hers, since he already had it. After he finished this, he put his phone back in his pocket and looked at the others again. Cynthia's suggestion made sense, but how were they going to be able to do that? It's not like they had the names of everyone there, so it wasn't going to be very easy, that was for sure. "We could try doing that," he said in response to Cynthia.

"That isn't going to be very easy, you only know their faces after all. If you knew their names too, they probably wouldn't be too hard to find," Janelle said with a shrug. It was a valid point, if you only knew a person's face, it was going to be almost impossible to find them, even if you did have the right resources for it. "For all we know, the others from the dream aren't even in Seattle, but in other parts of the country, or even the world, we just don't know."


Theresa Sparks


Location: The Framework
Skills: N/A



Sparky watched as the others attempted to harm Sabretooth, but noticed that they weren't having any luck trying to even hit him. When Nikolova pointed out to her that she was hovering, she immediately had touched down back onto the ground, and right now she was looking at their opponent, and she was definitely not liking the odds. She decided to try and send sparks flying at him, but they were so weak that Sabretooth didn't even seem to realize that she had hit him at all. Static electricity was probably what he felt, if anything, from that zap.

She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm as she looked at the situation. That was the second time she had used her powers, and the second time that they had failed her. Well, third time's the charm right? Keep trying if you fail, so she decided to try and hit him one more time. This time, a bolt of electricity shot out from her fingertips, hitting Sabretooth and knocking him down. Sure, he wasn't unconscious or anything, still able to try and kill him, but hey, at least she hit him with an actual attack this time.
Daphne Pender

Location: The Galley
Skills: None


Daphne wasn't usually one to sit still as she waited for the others to show up already, so she started tapping her fingers against the side of her leg, just waiting. She wasn't surprised that Fitz had hurried after her after she had left them, but she didn't say anything. Reaching into her pocket, she felt around for the ponytails that she kept there, her body was not wanting to stand still for her, but at least she knew to keep her mouth shut when Anisa was talking.

Pulling one of the hair ties out of her pocket, she started twirling it around in her hands, when she heard Anisa's words, and it almost caused her to drop it. Atticus was dead? The thought was a little hard to process, considering the fact that he had seemed perfectly fine the night before at the Lady Luck, and he was now gone. She clenched her hand into a fist, grasping the tie in her hand firmly, but she still didn't say anything. It made her wonder what was going through Dorothy's head right then.

Even though she knew her sister would never admit it to herself, she had suspected that Dorothy might have had feelings for Atticus in some way. She never brought the subject up in a conversation, knowing perfectly well that her sister would have denied it in some way. Though she probably would have just flat out said no or something similar. Daphne thought about Dorothy as she calmed down slightly upon hearing the news about Atticus, and just went back to twirling the ponytail that was in her hand. After this, she was going to see about talking to Dorothy about Atticus, confronting her about the whole thing.


Thalia Maehers


Location: The Palace



"She is a shape shifter like me, between dragon and human, I wasn't always a dragon you know," Thalia said in response to Asha's comment, a little bit half-heartedly. She smiled at the baby, and was not surprised at all when Richard walked over and picked the child up. "Hopefully she doesn't burn this place to the ground, it would be too much of a hassle to try and make sure everything didn't end horribly for us," she said with a small laugh.

The baby was cute, and she rolled her eyes slightly when Richard pulled her close to him, but she said nothing. It wouldn't surprise her if he did do a lot of what the kid said, and she was going to probably laugh a lot about everything. "I do apologize for the bit of a mess the child caused, after all, she is just a baby," Thalia said, turning to look at Lyra.



Queen Valda


Location: The Palace - Lawn



Valda was confused by Thalia's words before she had left, and from the sounds of it, she wasn't the only one. Everyone seemed to wonder what it was that she was talking about. She turned to look at her brother, noticing the fear in his eyes and voice, and she tried to give him a reassuring smile. "It will be alright Myrus, do not worry, we'll figure this out," she said softly, before she turned her attention to the others again.

"The dragon seems to know what it is, so perhaps before we do anything, we ask her to see what she can tell us, if she is willing to that is. Perhaps now that she's with her child, she might be willing to tell us," Valda suggested, and it made sense in her mind. The woman had caused the alarm, and made people question everything, so why not just go directly to the source? Thalia likely had been around for thousands of years, so obviously she'd know something.



Sylvi the Bard


Location: The Ramblings - Winking Duck Tavern



Sylvi glanced over at Bruce and Myth, rolling her eyes slightly, wondering just how it was that someone like her existed in the world. The man was uncomfortable in the situation, at least it looked like that to her, so why didn't she just leave him alone. She heard the twins talking to him in some weird language, and he seemed to be able to understand him perfectly fine, which made her wonder a little bit about him, but she was not generally the type to walk up and ask something about a person she didn't even know. Unlike the other person there clearly.

She noticed that one of the twins seemed to nod in her direction, and she found it to be quite odd. After all, she did not know them, and had never met them before in her life, but yet they seemed to be talking about her. Sylvi was curious, wondering what exactly it was that made them look at her, when she hadn't said or done anything, unlike the woman who just sat in the guy's lap. Talk about not exactly being subtle about things in anyway.
