X-Men: Age of Mutants

<Snipped quote by TheIrishJJ>

No I live in Southern California in the U.S. actually. There's some Irish heritage in my dad's biological side of the family but my dad was adopted and from that side I'm 6th generation born in Cali.

@pockets

Ahh, perhaps you should do some geneaology! My father was born in Belfast, and I literally went into central London to apply for my first Irish passport today!

I'm totally cool with that. Since he showed up ranting in an accent maybe you could approach him? Wish gaelic was offered around here, I'd have loved to have learned it.

@pockets

I'll do that after a couple more people have posted. Do you not live in Ireland (north or south)? I would have loved to learn it, but I'd be pretty lucky if I found a place to learn it in outer London! I guess I'm relegated to online courses that aren't as good as a teacher.

X-Men: Age of Mutants

Francis got up from the floor, his elbows having gotten sore with the amount of time that he was on the floor for. He looked around, seeing that people were leaving whatever vehicle they were in. Francis decided to shift back into his human form - people were scared enough of what was happening, having some red guy with scales and jet black hair probably wasn't helping. When he looked down at himself, however, he remembered that he was only wearing pants. It might not be too bad when he's in his true form, but Francis was feeling too self conscious to be almost naked in front of a load of strangers for the first time. He needed some clothes, and decided to go up to Magneto, following up from what the guy who nodded at him earlier had said. "Yeah, and where can I get some clothes around here?" he asked.

So who did you talk to? I am unsure.

@Dark Eternity

I believe that she said she left it open so that any girl could respond.

X-Men: Age of Mutants

@pockets Well, they have different accents. For example, someone from the north would say how their daughter is a "wee lass" but a southerner wouldn't. The southerner wouldn't pronounce most "th"s. E.g." There were tree trees!"

Edit: judging by his back story, he'd probably have learned Irish at school. Perhaps we could have our two characters talk to each other in Irish?

X-Men: Age of Mutants

@pockets I hate to be pedantic but if Derrick had anything to do with the IRA, he'd more than likely be Northern Irish.

X-Men: Age of Mutants

If anyone wants to talk to Francis, I'd be good with that.

X-Men: Age of Mutants

@Prudence When can we start posting our second posts? Also, is it too late to mention that my character speaks Irish?

X-Men: Age of Mutants

I'm loving this so far! Everyone actually knows how to write, in my opinion. :3 if anyone wants any interaction with Ronan, whether it is to calm him from his impending panic attack, or to make fun, just write it and I'll respond. x)

@Proleptic

Francis might try, but he does look a demon. Oh wait, he is.

X-Men: Age of Mutants

Francis Thomas Newman

Francis was stood in front of his mirror, changing his appearance between his human form, and his father's (his human father, not his birth father). He kept doing this for around 20 minutes, trying to change his height as well. Unfortunately, he was seemingly incapable of doing this, and he always turned out as a 6'4" version of his dad, which would fool nobody, seeing as his dad was actually 5'10". Francis decided to give up on changing his height, and resigned to his bed, shifting back into his human form. After some reading of a book, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in," he called, assuming it was one of his parents, or a sibling. However, when the door opened, it turned out not to be anyone in his family, but a blue skinned person, with only three fingers.

"Hello, Francis," the man said, walking into the room. Francis, however, sat there staring at the man, shocked, until he worked out who it was.

"Y-you're Nightcrawler!" he said in shock.

"Yes, and I need your help,"

"N-n-no, I can't help you," Francis stuttered, realising what this could be.

Nightcrawler walked up to Francis's bed, "I can help you, too,"

"No!" Francis shouted, jumping up off of his bed and running out of his room. As he got through the door to the landing, Nightcrawler appeared out of thin air, "What are you so scared of?" he asked, but Francis ignored him, running into his parents' bedroom and into their wardrobe, before turning invisible.

"You can't run away from me that easily," Francis heard from the corner. He looked up to see Nightcrawler in the top corner of the wardrobe. Francis shouted out in fear and shock, and due to this, and all of shifting earlier, he involuntarily shifted into his true, red form. "Was this your plan? Make me look like this so I realise what I am? I'm still not going to help him!" Francis shouted.

"What are you talking about? Who?" Nightcrawler asked, before sighing, "This'll be easier."

Suddenly, Nightcrawler jumped down and grabbed Francis, before teleporting them both to the bunker. Francis looked around, still on the ground, and still in his true form, and saw that there were other people around his age, who looked just as innocent. Perhaps this wasn't what he thought it was going to be, and perhaps it wasn't as bad, either.
