Hi, guys! My name is Callirhoe and I have an addiction to picking up new characters, apparently. I AM SORRY. This is my last kid here, though, I swear, and you can hit me if I look like I'm about to break that promise. :)

So, this is Jean-Paul Beaubier. I know that he was played before, but since my version of him is very different from the previous one, I think it's probably best to handwave that and start fresh. He'll be brand new at the school, as of... tonight, actually, I think, since that makes sense, and I'll be putting up an intro narrative for anyone who wants to meet the new kid. :) In brief, though, he's 19, a college student, and from Québec, Canada (though he will give you the evil eye if you say he's Canadian, because he is a fervent Québec separatist and doesn't consider his homeland part of Canada). If your character follows winter sports, they've probably heard of Jean-Paul -- he was a junior world champion for two years, qualified for this year's Olympic Games and had a lot of international buzz about being the one to beat in his events -- but just after qualifying he caused a scandal by announcing that he was ending his skiing career in order to pursue his education. He then disappeared (which, let's face it, is a whole lot easier when you can run ten times faster than anyone around you) and has spent the past several months training with the Canadian superhero Guardian, and has now come to Xavier's to continue his training.

His number one character trait is arrogance, followed closely by cynicism. But all that aside, he's actually a pretty interesting person to hang around, and he's fairly okay at being social. He's gay, which hasn't been publicized in the media but which he has no problem with people around him knowing, so I'm sure that will come out (NO PUN INTENDED) fairly quickly. Um, other than that, idk. Let me know if you have thoughts and stuff. :)

I'm torn between going the route with Regan, comfort in like-mindedness with Remy and JP, but at the same time, I see them butting heads. Somewhere in the middle, maybe? They can pitch their two very different sorts of French at each other, no one will ever be able to follow their conversations. XD

Vanessa probably won't get much of a chance to really approach him to ask to copy powers before she runs off, so we'll probably have to see how they interact after the Weapon X stuff. Jay might not have much in the way of interaction with him, either.

Sean always looks forward to meeting new students.

I think you're probably right that JP and Remy would butt heads, being waaay too much alike. :P But I think JP would 1) find Remy quite attractive and 2) find him amusing in his incredible heterosexuality, so like a friendly sort of butting heads? Also, yes, it would be incredibly funny for them to jabber at one another in French, so they definitely should. ;)

Either way! Jean-Paul is incredibly indifferent to most people unless they catch his interest, so we can just see what happen, really. :)

I can see them agreeing early on to only speak French to each other, simply because it irritates the people around them. Remy might also have to learn who he is pretend-homosexual around. XD It worked with straight Bobby, but he might call JP cher a couple of times and see where that goes. XD But so painfully heterosexual right now, trying to bed every female in that mansion.

OMG, yes, for sure, they'd totally speak all French. That would be so awesome. <3 And if Remy flirted with him, JP would prooobably be interested and follow suit. He'd totally mack on Remy. Remy is Acadian, in his mind, and therefore not quite as God-blessed as the Québécois, but close. :P

I believe JP in comicverse once referred to Remy as "hot Cajun buns." So them hot Cajun buns are at flirting service until Remy realizes that JP is serious. He will then reassert his awesome manliness by grabbing the nearest girl and making out with her. XD

Wow, JP. Just wow. (I had to go and find the panel and... yeah.) I'm a fan of this dynamic, I have to say. I think it would disappoint JP to learn that the flirting-with-guys act is just an act, but he's a pretty realistic guy and can deal with it. :)

I bought that issue just for that scene! XD

Haha, Remy will be like, damn, it's just my luck that I finally do it with an actually gay guy for once. XD Oops.
