Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Sure. I'll post as if I'm in class now? And probably Tip and I will just make a whole post in PM and just edit it in?

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Should I keep waiting for @Tip ?

X-Men Apex Rising

Isabel had just drifted into town. She had yet to decide exactly how she would be spending nights while she was here. There were times when she was stuck under bridges, sometimes far from town to avoid being burned in her sleep. But occasionally she would get a spot in a... friendly bed. She had heard, in whispers and murmurs, that there may be an underground mutant scene here in DC. It wasn't easy to look for things like this, but in the last two years she had learned a few tricks for searching them out.

She was on her first trick today. Party scenes. No house party, though. That was for rich pretty people in the suburbs. Mutants were more likely to congregate in underground scenes. Loud events, both bright and dark at the same time, full of freaks and hosted illegally in out of the way, abandoned places.

She found out about the rave at St Elizabeth's from a web forum devoted to finding parties that she browsed on a prepaid smartphone. It seemed like a good bet. Hell, genetic freaks in an abandoned hospital? The irony was too obvious.

She didn't bother checking the front gate, and simply hopped over the wall on the east side. There were no cars parked in view, but the lights in the through the windows and the electronic music drifting down to her told Isabel she was in the right place. The front door was wide open, and she went in and hit the stairs to the party floor.

She had stashed her meager pile of belongings by the wall out of sight, and all she had on her were her phone and her clothes. She was plainly showing off her abnormalities with short denim shorts and a crop top, exposing as much of her off-colored skin as possible. The blacklights bounced off of her shimmery body, making her appear to glow and drawing exactly the attentions he wanted as she danced through the party, arms up above the crowd. She moshed, she grinded, she touched people. Some recoiled. Some were into it. It didn't matter, she didn't stay with any partner for long. All the while, she was making mental notes of the people she passed, trying to gauge mutant friendliness, or even the possibility of any of them being Homo Superior.

I'm no GM, but I would vote for no.

From a story standpoint, it makes things more interesting because she'd need to be more creative about her transformations, and it would put a limit on her powers.

Midori, why is your dialogue written as if it were a play?

X-Men Apex Rising

Tattoos and piercings added to Isabel's appearance. I'm also still adding bits to her personality and bio, but just minor changes so I don't think they'll be issues. I'm on mobile now, on break at class, so I won't be able to post until I get home. Probably. I might get bored enough during lunch to try to make a phone post.

X-Men Apex Rising

I'm dying at both "Peach" and "Fifty Shades of Gray."

Obsidian: Doesn't someone else have that exact power already? Or is that someone who dropped out?

X-Men Apex Rising

Alright, a CS is up on the CS page. When it's approved I'll gladly get to posting.

Did you ever get a co-GM, by the by?

X-Men Apex Rising

Isabel

Name: Isabel
Age: 17
Personality: Bold, fearless and not one to back down from something. Isabel's person is a result of growing up being different. She's learned not to shy away from being separate from the pack, and she's learned to like the way she looks in a sort of defiant way. It's hard to gain her trust, but she has a soft spot for people who are obviously out of the ordinary. Conversely, she carries an automatic, and difficult to break, disdain for "normal" people. The more you fit into society, the less she likes you, just as a rule.
She's a pretty surly person, and isn't known for her friendly demeanor. She doesn't try to be rude, but she doesn't try to be polite, either.

X-Gene Mutation: Matter Affinity.

Telekinesis: Well known. The manipulation of matter in the world.

Null Matter(Currently locked): The creation of a shadowy simulacrum of real matter. It's darker than black, absorbing almost all light and looking almost like it's photoshopped into real life. It sublimates over time, and won't last longer than an hour or so.

Phase Shifting(Currently locked): To coax the atoms of one mass to allow the atoms of another to pass around them. In other words, she can walk through things, or make other things pass through each other.

Appearance: Somewhere outside of the standard for feminine beauty. Long blond hair? How about no hair. At all. Her body is completely hairless, revealing her shimmery gray skin in all places. Even the sclera of her eyes is gray, slightly lighter than her skin tone. Her iris contrasts greatly, being a bright yellow that jumps from her face.
Her lips are darker than her skin, almost black but with the same shimmer as her skin. All of her teeth end on a slight point and her ears are narrow and slightly pointed.

She's tall at 6'3 and rail thin, with little padding even in her breasts and buttocks.

Her left ear is pierced with what could very well be a paper clip twisted in a coil and passing through her ear six times in a spiral.

She has three much more professional looking rings on each brow, where her eyebrow would be if she grew hair.

Each nipple has a bar-bell through them.

Tattoos

"HOMO SUPERIOR" across her knuckles, done roughly with a needle and pen ink. "Superior" is done two letters per knuckle, the letters are staggered diagonally.

A rough, thickly lined "X" over each nipple, and a second, smaller pair more visible just under each collar bone.

Down her left forearm, in a more professional looking script is a banner reading "Fuck Humans."

On the back of her right hand is a classical tattoo styled demon's head, intentionally resembling herself. It is winking and licking its licks seductively, but sharp fangs can be seen behind its lips.

Rough picture reference

Occupation: Unemployed.
Other/Bio: Ultrasounds never prepared her parents, or her doctors, for what they would see when Isabel was born. Her mother abhorred her, and she ended up leaving Isabel with only her father, who in turn gave her up to foster care. She bounced back and forth in the system, but most foster parents found it difficult to feel affection for this strange, otherworldly creature. By fifteen she had already left and was living on the streets. "Mutants" weren't really known as a thing at the time, and as far as people who encountered her were concerned, she was some kind of monster. For a while, she shunned human contact. But recently she's taken to boldly walking among normal men and women, almost reveling in the shocked looks.

There's no organized mutant rights movement at present, but there are a lot of individual underground groups. She's experimented with being a part of many. Some fought hate with peaceful resistance, and some fire bombed the houses of known-bigots. She personally prefers the latter.

Isabel spends a lot of time searching these groups out. The tendency of known members of such groups to... "disappear" has led most to exist in strict hiding, and she is still learning ways to discern them.

X-Men Apex Rising

Are mutant rights an issue that's already being discussed? How long have they been around, only very recently, right? Are there already rights abuses? Is there a movement for them already?

Questions I need for my character ideas.

I'm not sure about powers, but at the moment I'm thinking of a street artist, a sort of guerrilla activist.
