X-Men: The New Era

@ShieldsOfWar Do you have a certain number of people in mind before launching the IC or a set amount of time?

X-Men: The New Era

Would you all prefer the game to start with the character's first day at Ashford's or would it be more beneficial to start at the first day of the 2nd semester? That way they would already be fairly familiar with the process and it could let us skip some exposition. Just a thought :D.

@ShieldsOfWar

While a lot of you seem familiar with each other and your characters, I'm not and as such no matter which scenario, it's probably going to come off as me being unfamiliar so I'd rather start with the first day at Ashford's. I think it'd build more organic relationships that way too.

_______________________________________________ Joseph Montgomery 'Joey' Scott _______________________________________________ 17 | ♂ | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Student | Heterosexual | Single _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] • Height | 5'-9" • Weight | 152lbs • Build | Slim/Atheltic • Eye Colour | Purple • Hair Colour | Dark Brunette • Scars | None • Tattoos | None • Piercings | None Mutations ___________________________________ [+] • Optic Discolouration | Due to his X-Gene, Joseph's eyes are an unnatural shade appearing to be violet or purple instead of a colour within the usual spectrum. • Teleportation | Joseph's primary mutation is the ability to move instantly between any two places provided he has previously occupied the space of his desired destination. This is due in part to his need to know where he is teleporting so that he does not find himself stuck in a wall or other object. Joseph can teleport based on visual references such as a photo or live footage but generally relies solely on memory. • Spatial Awareness | Due to the nature of his abilities, Joseph has the secondary or rather complimentary ability of spatial awareness. This provides him with a minor safeguard when teleporting if an object or person moves into his trajectory, his spatial awareness makes him aware of allowing him to make the necessary adjustments so as to safely reappear. However, depending on the range of the 'port and the size of the obstacle, the ability can be very taxing to use and the speed at which his brain has to process the information can be overwhelming.

Physical Description ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Joseph is a fairly in shape young man with a slender frame that is covered in compacted muscle built up from years of exercising. His torso and legs are built like someone who regularly competes in marathons and free running competitions while his arms and shoulders are built slightly broader. Of all of Joseph's traiths, he is especially known for his keen piercing violet eyes. A deep orchid with flecks of lavender strewn throughout, Joseph's eyes are known for being able to look right through someone as though he is staring into their soul. Usually found to unshaven, though only to the point of a five o'clock shadow, Joseph hasn't yet managed to grow a full beard out though not for lack of trying. Generally, he spikes his hair up at the front in different varieties of the quiff, ducktail and ski slope styles though Joseph isn't above putting his hair in a faux hawk. This is all of course saying he doesn't don a hat for the day. Joseph's general attire is the usual clothes of someone his age and ranges from long sleeve mock tees to hoodies usually. Almost always paired with jeans, the style of these can change depending on mood and occasion. In collaboration with these, Joseph prefers to wear semi-loose fitting tops if only for comfort more than any other justification. To that end he often will wear a t-shirt paired with a hoodie and jacket, or a long-sleeved shirt adorned with a hood and a jacket. Depending on the weather though Joseph may wear just a t-shirt, or a rolled up long sleeved mock tee. His outfit is almost always complimented with a leather jacket. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Joseph’s life didn’t get off on the right foot. His father, Lucas walked out after his birth, leaving Joseph’s mother, Harper, to struggle with postpartum depression leading to her slide into alcoholism. Joseph was left in the care of his eight-year-old sister, Vanessa, who provided the infant Joseph the support he needed, while their mother became more neglectful and verbally abusive with each bottle she drank. Unable to hold down a job due to her spiraling habits, Joseph’s mother began to sell her body, which led to a seemingly endless parade of different ‘suitors’ coming into their home. The ever-revolving door of men opening the pair of children to abuse which their mother never failed to notice. When Joseph was eight, one of his mother’s gentleman callers attempted to force himself on Vanessa. Seeing his sister in distress, Joseph flew into a blind rage. While the boy was physically no match for his sister’s assailant, the yelling and screaming were enough to alert a nearby neighbor who immediately called the police. It was at this point that Child Services was forced to step in. While Vanessa fought for her right to be emancipated, Joseph was sent to live with his Uncle Tim and older cousin James. While Tim did a good job of putting food in front of Joseph, he was little more than a caregiver having little interest in Joseph as a person. Thankfully James, or rather, Jimmy, was more than happy to have Joseph tag along. With only a three year age difference between them, Jimmy taught Joseph how to be a make do with the situation they lived in, and it didn’t take long before Joseph started tagging along with Jimmy as the older boy was inducted into the neighborhood’s resident gang. Being the youngest one around didn’t go well for Joseph as he suffered at the hands of the other boys. Constantly bullied and picked on, he was punched and belittled at every turn and because of this, Joseph was never considered to be an actual candidate for the gang. By the age of thirteen, Joseph was at his breaking point and decided to prove himself. Unfortunately for Joseph, he attempted to steal a car was quickly foiled and the boy found himself quickly in a youth detention center. Sitting across from a public defender was the dose of reality that Joseph needed and he soon found himself living with his older sister once again. Now twenty-one, Vanessa and her fiance, Michael, were able to take custody of Joseph on the condition that he complete a community-based rehabilitation program. Agreeing, the terms were set and Aiden was free to go. But the rehabilitation center only made things worse for Joseph as he soon found himself the victim of bullying again. Eventually, they took it too far and having cornered Joseph, the fear and adrenaline kicked in, teleporting the young teen for the first time. Confiding about his abilities in his sister, Vanessa did what she did best and looked after Joseph, eventually finding him a place at the Ashwood Institute for the Gifted. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Joseph is a driven young man who needs to succeed at everything he attempts in his life. This trait was only further enhanced after his time in a juvenile detention center. His wake up call caused him to overcompensate in almost every other area of his life due to an insistent feeling of being behind everyone else in his life. Due to this, Joseph has a very assertive nature, making sure his opinion, wants and needs are well stated. This can cause him to come across as very arrogant, a trait only further reinforced by his competitive side. Luckily, Joseph is also capable of being quite charming, a smooth talker and capable debater. These skills have allowed Joseph to move swiftly through his numerous schools' social hierarchy and as of late through the beds of several women. Due to the damage that was done by his father leaving and his mother's descent into alcoholism, Joseph has a fear of attachment and rarely makes a second date with any of his paramours. Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ None at this time.

Well, this certainly seems fun! Count me in, if you’ll have me!

@Lauder

Glad to have another interested party.

@ShieldsofWar, what age group are you looking for? So far the submitted sheets range from 10, to 18, 21 in age?

Is there a set range you were looking for?

Blood On The Bayou

@Lord Wraith,

Also, if something on the sheet is labeled 'TBD', do we leave that blank as it means that we'll discover these things during the IC? Or do we fill it out now? (I'm somehow almost done with this. I have no idea how.)

@BubblegumQueen

Those are for you to fill out. I just couldn't fill them out in the template as I assume each character would have different fears, skills etc.
