I still need to get started on this but I can't even think of anything or even get started reading any of it... FML.

Hopefully, I had a nasty case of the cold so I've been fairly bed ridden today. I'll try to get this thing started soon though.

Considering I made Dr. Fantastic to work alongside yours yes it is, but you did leave in that part about asking to change it at the end of the background part...

Well in this X-Men is just more an all encasing term. Since mutants in general means super powered people. So even though people like Peter or Nathan wouldn't count, they do here. So Peter is technically already with the X-Men in this. The X-Men are also a division of SHIELD too, so even if you were moving Peter from one to the other it wouldn't take much.

Full name: Pietro Maximoff Codename: Quicksilver Age: 22 From: London, England Mutations: Able to run at speeds close to the speed of sound (770 mph). Has frictional and wind resistance when doing so. Appearance:  Special skills: Was trained specifically in jeet kune do for maximum efficiency with high speed attacks. Has more than natural ability in theft and training in breaking security systems. Background: A foster child since birth, Pietro has always had problems with authority figures. He was constantly caught stealing or causing some other level of mischief. Once his powers manifested however Pietro was on the verge of planning much bigger heists and other crimes to gain enough personal wealth to live well. This all changed however when he was met with an older man. He claimed he was Pietro's natural father and awaited this moment in the young man's life. The experience for Pietro was all at once confusing and infuriating, but he played along wanting to find out if the old man was speaking the truth. He was brought to an underground bunker in the Midwest US filled with other mutants. Where the old man spoke of their time coming and other cult like things. Pietro was unamused and convinced that if this man WAS his father, that he was better off without him. After making a quick escape he was found by members of the Project. Leaving behind his minor criminal ways was a bit difficult for Pietro, but it became easier as he started to exceed in training and even enjoy himself. All in all this was partially finding his cause in life, and partly rebelling against daddy. Additional notes: Owns a small one bedroom apartment and a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. Though he likes the car and will use it, he must prefers running. Much MUCH quicker and always more fun to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Full name: Nathaniel Reed Richards Codename: Dr. Fantastic Age: 26 From: Liverpool, England Mutations: Able to stretch up to three miles long, while also able to compress, reshape, inflate, flatten, and any other kinds of elastic abilities at will. Appearance:  Special skills: An intellectual genius of an extremely high caliber, Nathan holds doctorates in numerous degrees and countless other degrees in almost all forms of science. Also partial to billiards, darts, and other pub sports... despite not being much of a drinker. Background: Nathaniel Reed Richards is an interesting case in terms of people serving under Project: X-Men. Raised in the heart of England, the young man showcased right from an early age an incredible knack for science and technology. Being able to create and innovate even from an early age. That said not too much is really known about him. For a long time Nathan tended to keep to himself. Wasn't very social outside of the schools he would regularly graduate from early. Even if his very friendly and excitable nature would suggest otherwise. When Nathan moved to America to further his studies it was when he first met Susan Storm. He was fascinated by her stunning beauty and equally beautiful smarts. Though at this time she spent half her time in school and the other half working at a store Nathan began frequenting, more so just to talk to her than for any other real reason. He finally worked up his own courage and asked her out on a date. Leading to a relationship between the two. Finally one night Nathan brought her up to his messy but still somehow organized apartment wanting to show her something important. A spacecraft that Nathan believed would revolutionized traveling through the stars. He wanted Susan to join him on its maiden voyage. It was on that faithful first test however the two encountered a rare cosmic shower coming around Earth. The ship wasn't properly protected as much as Nathan planned. Causing him to have to bring it in for an early landing. It was then that the two discovered after a day's time the ship had radiated their molecular structures. Causing the both of them to develop superpowers. Soon after Project: X-Men came around wanting them to join. They both did, but Reed to this day still regrets what he did to Susan, wanting to make things right somehow. Still, Nathan quite enjoys his new life. He is one of the heads of Dr. McCoy's research and development labs despite his young age, and even makes it a habit to go out on missions. After all, all work and no play makes Nathan bored, and the offices know what kind of things happen when Nathan gets bored... here's a hint, usually it involves explosions or something crazy in the name of science. Additional notes: The only real field of training Nathan has no passing score in is firearms training. Nathan very strongly is against guns and that level of violence. Although not having a passing score in every study for agent work typically means not being allowed to have agent work. Nathan was given special permission for it due to the usefulness of his powers, as well as his immense knowledge.

If you've already been approved for this RP go ahead and post your character sheet in the appropriate area.

The date was May 15th, 1972 Reports from numerous doctors and hospitals around the world started to pour into health organizations about strange and new mutations occurring in young men and women. The symptoms were varied and all brought fear to those who knew but didn't understand. In an emergency meeting held deep within the secret coves of Washington DC. President Richard Nixon met with top members in the CIA, FBI, Health Organizations, and other top experts to discuss the matters. What followed was a long, intense discussion over what to do with what was now being referred to as 'the X-gene'. Finally top genetics scientist Dr. Charles Xavier, alongside Dr. Hank McCoy. Came up with a solution, the world might be prepared to except such people with powers, but the possibility of it was realistically slim to not at all possible. Thus using a new program known as Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, shortened into the acronym S.H.I.E.L.D. A program could be established which would essentially work behind the scenes and away from the public. Helping control those with these powers while keeping them out of the public's attention or knowledge. While just about all in attendance liked the idea, one man very much opposed the plan. Erik Lehnsherr, a man who at a very young age survived the holocaust and at this point a close associate of Xavier's. Felt that mutants shouldn't have to hide themselves from the public just because of something that wasn't their fault. If anything, mutants should be embraced, revered. His strong opinions and an already tense atmosphere lead to issues and after an incident that is closely classified. Erik Lehnsherr has gone missing and not seen since. When the program began, known simply as “Project X-Men”. The first five people brought in were Scott Summers, Jeanne Gray, Bobby Drake, Warren Worthington III, and Dr. Hank McCoy as an advisor and head of the science and research department. Slowly as time passed the organization grew and blossomed. What once was a single group of a few trained agents has become a world wide network of organizations around the world each holding the same task of helping fellow mutants while ensuring secrecy from the public. The original four agents have all since retired from active work and now either handle administrative work in the organization's HQ, head up training divisions, or have retired peacefully. As 2015 begins, Project: X-Men starts a new chapter as young agents finish their training in hand-to-hand combat, power control, firearm usage, automotive driving, and other courses. They will begin handling assignments in areas around North and South America. However, Project: X-Men's one naysayer from so long ago is planning to return, and he's bringing madness and anarchy with him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Yeah I'll take a baconzilla value meal, with a cola to drink and the curly fries. Extra sauce with those fries.” “That will be 9.96 at the next window please sir.” “Bleedin' ell they running out of pigs to kill around here or something?” Pietro Maximoff was running fashionably late to work, again. You couldn't tell with him at the drive-thru of a nearby fast food place. Quietly tapping the top of his car's steering wheel as the cars ahead of him slowly got and paid for their food. Still considering the amount of times Pietro made it a goal to show up fashionably late. The higher ups have basically given up on getting him to show up when he was suppose too, as there wasn't a fine or punishment that would get him to stop. “Here's your food.” “Hmm, thank you love.” “I like your accent...” “Thanks.” Pietro chuckled as he left the drive-thru and back onto the main road. Nice try sweetheart, his never been desperate enough to hook up with some broad at a fast food place. Pietro drove through the city streets of Washington DC. Periodically picking through his bag of food for the occasional fry. Such was another day in the life of the mutant that life was made to forget. Sweep under the rug of society for something he didn't have any say in. Frankly though, Pietro wouldn't have it any other way. As he pulled up into the massive parking lot of the pentagon. Pietro quietly killed the engine of his car. Strolling out with food in hand as he made his way in. Using the numerous eye scanners, secret lifts, and other various security booths to make his way into the base for Project: X-Men which existed some feet underground. It was always an interesting sight when coming in. Seeing some giant pink blob with skeletal systems and organs carrying a vast amount of filled and lidded coffee cups. An Altantian scurrying past a Kree warrior and normal looking scientist looking like they were having a chat of the Premier League scores from the night before. Leaving Pietro the perfect timing as he walked past to give the both of them his single thought on the topic manner with a “Fuck Man U!” As Pietro strolled past the research and developments lab. A vast system of anything you can imagine involving science, along with other things varying from the normal to the bizarre even for people who work here. Pietro peeked in noticing how the place seemed unusually quiet barred for one man who was clearly sleeping at his computer using the keyboard as a makeshift pillow. Shaking his head Pietro gave the plexiglass window between him and the room a good slam with an closed fist before continuing on to his personally appointed office. Causing Dr. Nathan Richards to shoot up from his chair, keyboard grooves completely indented in his face. “UGH I WASN'T KISSING THE PENGUIN SANTA!” Nathan Richards declared as he was shocked out his sleep. Finally realizing where he was as he shook his head. Letting his face reform perfectly. Nathan Richards quietly groaned as he rubbed his face in his fingertips. All of its features contorting and squishing around before snapping back to normal as Nathan sighed. Finally realizing he had dozed off from the night before while working on his revisionist of the impulse laser system. A means of halting any guilty fiends without causing any physical harm to them. When the AI based computer tests of the theory were put into work, the laser only worked in causing the target to merely explode. Which isn't quite what they were looking for out of the system. Impressive as it is to see a human spine get crumbled and desiccated so beautifully unique in its horrifying gore. As Nathan sighed a bit to himself, he got up from the chair, realizing he was going to need to get out of the lab for a bit before his brain turned to mush.

Alright I'm going to go ahead and post up the OOC and character sheet page, anyone who doesn't have a character sheet finished for this has til Wednesday to finish and post it.
