knightsbridge! On the eastern coast of the United States sits the small college town of Knightsbridge. Visitors to Knightsbridge often feel a strong sense of jamais vu; everyone seems somehow recognizable but totally unfamiliar. Not that there's anything magical going on here, of course, but it's definitely creepy. Knightsbridge is a casual original character game where every character has the personality of a canon character from any book, movie, TV show, comic, musical, or play. MALES WANTED! OPENS TODAY!! |
Name: BOBBY DRAKE
Date of Birth: APRIL 2, 1985
Powers: Creation and manipulation of ice.
Status: X-MEN - AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATIONS.
Bobby Drake was sent to Xavier's by his parents, believing it was a prep school and unaware of their son's ability to create and manipulate ice. Bobby is one of the 'old timers', having been at the school for most of his adult life. He became an X-Man after the events of X2, but unknown to the rest of the school, was abducted by the shapeshifter Mystique only months later. She replaced him for several months, handing Bobby himself over to the Friends of Humanity. The switch was eventually discovered and Bobby rescued, but the trauma of what was done to him in that time was a long time healing. He embarked on a series of life paths - college, a relationship with the amnesiac and innocent Jane Doe/Cloud, a position with Nathan Dayspring's NGO, Elpis - but nothing seemed to suit. It was his tumultuous relationship with longtime school friend Theresa Cassidy that seemed to give him a firmer foothold, despite the challenges racked against it. Married in 2006 'by accident' in Las Vegas, Bobby took on the stewardship of Cassidy Keep when Sean Cassidy returned to Interpol, and obtained his teaching qualifications by correspondence. When his brother manifested shapeshifting abilities, Bobby took him back to the mansion and remained himself, realising he missed life as an X-Man. When Terry also returned, the young pair realised their marriage was in trouble and eventually separated by mutual agreement. Bobby is currently conducting an audit of the West Coast Annex's finances and spending, by request of Charles and trying to decide what to do next.

Since its founding in 1892, Clifton has always been a town divided by its train tracks. Based on the textile industry, there are those that manage and those that work. The East side of the town consists of the Haves while the West is the home of the Have-Nots. Though over one hundred years have passed, the town is no closer to unity. The rich stay on their side of town while the less wealthy stay on theirs though there are extremes to both social classes. Each side has their shops, their restaurants, and even their own schools. The three factories are still going strong; however, some residents are slowly spreading out to other local businesses and even commute to nearby New York City. Growth is occurring all around them even if some in Clifton are still stuck in their ways. This past summer changed everything, however. A severe weather pattern brought the worst weather the town had seen in a century. The tornado that blew through the area reduced East Clifton High to nothing but rubble, leaving the students with nowhere to go. After arguing and debating amongst the residents of Clifton, Mayor Wilson Davis made the final call to combine East Clifton High with West Clifton High. Few are happy with the arrangement. Not only are there years of prejudice to overcome, but there is overcrowding, biases, and even the merging of school teams causing chaos. But they've got to make it work somehow. Will the merging of the two schools unite the town once and for all, or tear them apart irreparably? |
