Derp.
Hi everyone! Since everyone's doing the intro-thing, I figured I'd hop in and join!
My name's Melissa, usually called Mel, but most widely-known (for better or for worse) as "Mippa." It's a pet-name from childhood (awww) that somehow rose to popularity amongst my high school pals a little over a decade ago. >.< I feel old.
Anyhoo. I got into comics and X-titles back in the 90s while I was a little one in elementary school. How awesome was I, I was that pasty-white German/Irish girl who dressed up as Storm for Halloween in 4th grade. Yeah, that's how awesome I was.
Twenty-something years later, I still read comics (ok, only one - Deadpool) and I am still pinching myself that the X-characters actually had movies. (Back in my day, Generation X on Fox was the height of exciting entertainm--wait.)
I guess I'm kinda showing my age. Welp, as a warning, I stopped really getting involved in X-Men book-wise during the Onslaught story arc...(I think it was when there was a 'big reveal' that Charles Xavier had a 'thang' for Jean Grey - I just shut the book and went "I'm done.") So some of these new-fangled characters introduced at the turn of the century (X-23 wut?) are a little beyond my appreciation. I guess that will make for exciting roleplay!
Lesson for today? Mippa rambles. It'll probably come out in how I play Terry. I apologize in advance.
Diana, this is why we need a 'gettin' to know you meme, so my rambling is justified!
