Hey there people!

I'm Chris. I'm a delightful 20-something video store monkey. I've currently only got the two characters, but will probably expand on my personal roster as time goes on.

Matty Ballard/Thorn - OC. 25 years old, feral mutations, bastard child of Sabretooth. Yes, you read that right. Needless to say, she and her biological father don't get along, to say the least. Wanted to join the X-Men when she graduated high school, but Xavier was concerned about her anger control issues. Instead, he sent her out as an unofficial liaison to the school, to find mutants and tell them about the school. Matty is typically pretty friendly, though some people may or may not be afraid of her, as she can come off as frightening at times. Has a huge heart, and is extremely protective of "her kids", the students. Will be teaching self-defense to the students.

Ethan Grant/Blackout - OC. 39 years old. Able to drain all light out of a ten-foot radius. Has such good night vision that he is able to see in complete darkness. Had previously only been a teacher at the Xavier School before the explosion, but now also serves as a member of the X-Men, as well. Is extremely sweet and kind, and is able to make friends with pretty much everybody. Is something of a favorite among the ladies, although he's not attracted to women. Teaches English and some photography courses. Born Scottish, raised American, and speaks Scottish Gaelic fluently, which he learned from his grandmother.

I look forward to playing with you guys!

Heh, Mylia's responsible for Eliza as Tamsin -- I use her for Tam in another game as well and it's such a fitting choice that she's kind of stuck on my brain. So when I had the chance here, I had to do it.

My brain has also gotten confused, though, and she's MY character.

My people are looking forward to threading with yours. Well, Doug and Tamsin are. Roulette's just like "Bitch, whatever" at me.

I needed a change, because I think if I continued to use Eliza, I'd be too tempted to go with the exact same characterization all over again. That and the angst.

XD Between the two of us, we've used her for so many different characters, I'm amazed our brains haven't just gone, "Fuck it!" over the whole thing.

Matty's a bit more... mischievous this time around. Just thought you'd like to know. ;) Ethan's willing to talk with anyone, and I think he's going to tag Doug's entry. He's a people person.

	My brain went "Fuck it" at everything a LONG time ago, honey -- been working at Wal-Mart too damn long. Tamsin likes Matty already, oh dear. And fwee, Doug's bouncy in my head at that now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hell no. Stock person all the way. As is I frequently want to throttle my customers. ... that rage may kind of be getting channeled into Roulette. -_- (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Customer service on this end. Customers suck, but boy, do they make me feel like a vastly intelligent person sometimes. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I KNOW, RIGHT?

Okay, so! We moved from our store into a supercenter. Said building is ginormous, in the same parking lot as the old building, and is FIFTY FEET AWAY from the old building. Yet every day for the last six weeks, I had MULTIPLE FLIPPIN' PEOPLE asking me where we were moving to. I feel like a Mensa candidate next to those people.

And ahahaha, dude, I missed you.

	... You're fucking KIDDING me. You'd have to be completely BLIND to miss a friggin' Wal-Mart SUPERCENTER. facepalm I can't count the number of times I've had to repeatedly explain the same, simple thing to people and they just. don't. get. it. Seriously? Seriously? Is your listening comprehension that bad? I missed me, too. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I WISH I were kidding. I wish I could have a job where there was no interacting with people. That'd be AWESOME. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jobs like that only exist in a utopian society, which we don't have. (Reply to this) (Parent)
