@PathfinderWell, just start them out without gender. Play the character how they're supposed to play, and make the decision to change or stay leter on depending on what you think they're thoughts would be on the situation.

The X-Pendibles

Was she not watching his demonstration from earlier? Or was it that Heidi was seeking Peter's own explanation for his mutation? Pete could not take any true guesses, so he instead took a moment to think of the words to explain his ability, move everything into English the best that he could, then, go back and make sure that it made sense in English. He was still very rough with the language, the words not always coming out as he hoped them to, or sometimes his accent would drag at the words and make it almost impossible to talk to.

"I... I grow. I become stronger, my body is metal." He tried to explain, his hands fidgeting and moving around as he spoke to the girl. "My clothes are big to fit when I grow into metal. They become loose when I become small again."

On the other end, he could understand why Heidi's power could be more of a curse than a gift. Having a brain that could think up everything all the time must be hard to sleep with, to even concentrate on simple tasks with. Has she grown into her mind so much that she knows exactly when she's going to do things? There were so many questions, and asking them may make her head hurt.

Reaching out with his hand, Booker had attempted to create a construct in time to stop the rock from hitting the cat. Unfortunately for him, the construct only became physical after the rock has flown through it, hitting its target. He sighed and loosened his hand. "Sorry!" He called out to the cat, mutant or otherwise.

He then turned back to Rosemary, smiling calmly at the girl. "Use your ability to its very limits." He told her, his hand opening and raising palm-up to create an atom in motion. "Adapt. Grow, change."

"Do you remember how Mr. Summers and Ms. Grey were brought into the Xmen? The whole story?" The atom still floated in his hand, spinning slowly as he spoke in a pace to match. "Jean was a student here. She was good, smart, but she wasn't all that cared for by the students around her. Still, she did her work, working and working even though there wasn't a clear path for her. Scott had just arrived to the mansion when Apocalypse attacked. He had normal schooling before then. With his ability growing as it did, as late as it did, any thoughts of the future he had were washed away."

He began to walk, motioning with his free hand for Rosemary to follow him as he monolouged to her. "And Mister Wagner, our illustrious drama and theater teacher. He had arrived only moments after Scott. He was captured, put in a fighting ring. No family to speak of other than a circus he traveled with. Three outcasts in very different lights. They were all brought together here because they felt the need to do something. They fought, they proved that they had what it took to become the second class of X-men. Now, that might not be true for you or anyone else in this school. Becoming world-saving protectors is not your set future when arriving here. Learning about your powers, mastering them, controlling them, that is your goal here. Anything after that is all in your hands."

He paused, freezing the atom mid-air. In moments, it faded into dust, flowing away and returning to the world as energy. "What I mean to say here, Rosemary, is that the future is up to you. Its what you make it. But there are duties that you need to attend to. Your classes, which, yes, you aren't failing, and your appointments with me, which, you are." He smiled wider. He didn't step closer, but looked off into the distance. "If you fail my class. You will not graduate, and you will be held here until you do. Proper motivation."

"But," He raised a finger at the girl and shook his head. "Your mutation only grants you a means for survival. That is not the same thing as actually living." There were gaps to cross and bridges to build if he was going to get anywhere with helping Rosemary. He wasn't a woman, and he was sure that he'd never be able to fully comprehend what was going through her mind, but that wasn't going to stop Booker from doing all that he could to help her. There might not be a time where she would fully open up to him, but Booker was a patient man. He would wait as long as need be, even long after where her mutation kept her alive and he nothing but ground dust floating across the earth. He wasn't going to make her take this big first step against her own will, especially not since he didn't have anything equal to offer for her help in him helping her. "But, the Professor assigned a period out of your day to see me. Talking to me counts as a class, and not making any progress, or just talking to me at the bare minimum, may keep you from graduating."

@knighthawkCharacters that have not been shown in the revised timeline movies (First Class, DOFP, Apocolypse) are fair game, but please run by me through PMs what character you intend to use and how you want to work them in. I prefer original characters, but if you have a good reason for a classic character than go ahead and talk about it.

@Calabon2437Each character has their own classes that they follow, so just pick a class and we can work something out. Not everyone is going to be in the same class at the same time.

Sixty eight to eighty six percent. That wasn't too bad. better than a coin toss, but worse than trying not to roll snakeyes. As Heidi had said, it all depended on how imaginative and gullible Shawn was. Kurts hands weighed the invisible options, his eyes curving up to the right as he considered all he knew about the sleeping boy. Especially waking up from sleep, there was a good chance that he might fall for it.

"We should get started and finish before class is over."

Peter, rather astounded by Heidi's thinking skills, looked back at the girl. He shifted back into his more human appearance, his clothes fitting loose once again as he took his seat next to her. If he had any guesses, Heidi either had future vision, to let her see all of the possible outcomes of the situation at hand, or she was just so smart that she could easily run those numbers in full between breaths.

"Is your mutation... your thinking?" He asked the girl in a similar volume to that which she spoke with. She seemed rather worried the last time that the spoke, so he spoke with more care, as if his steel strength somehow applied to his voice as well. Well, there was how Americans portrayed russians as the cold, hardened people, so there was a little something surrounding him even if it wasn't his own.

"We bumped into each other." Booker clarified with a raised finger and a calm voice. He wasn't going to berate her for missing their scheduled appointment, the one which Xavier had specifically written into her schedule three times during the school week, and he wasn't going to call her out on her calling him an asshole. He understood her past well enough to know that this was a standard reaction for her, and he wasn't going to use shaming to make her change.

"No, no. But we should get you a punch card for all the days you miss your appointments throughout the year." He chuckled and created a rather thick wall of light behind her to keep her from running off. "Now, we should get back to my office and try to make some progress before the class period is over."

@Burning KittyHow funny. I've been working on one all night, Calabon actually asked me about it too, and I should have it posted sometime soon.
