I bring you Gambit.
What's this, our 3rd? 4th? Either way, he's new to me. I've never played the thief before, so you guys'll have to help me along, eh? I'm pretty psyched. He's 30 and enjoys ... breathing. Other stuff, too. It's late (or reallllly early). Apologies. Anyhow, there will be plotting. He's about to show up at the school and do some damage. Either that or he's been there a bit. Preferences?
Merci,
-Beck
P.S. Teeheehee. |

Hi. Just wanted to let everyone know I've picked up Dani. She's 27 and the history teacher. She's very motherly, so she's fairly open and friendly. If you want to scene or plot or whatever, let me know. :)

As any Guthrie might say: Hey Y'all! I finally updated the threads list. Lemme know if things can be moved down to the "closed threads" section. In bigger news, we have two new characters: ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) electricsurge (Surge) as played by Ashlee and sheneverforgot (Sage) as played by Poppy. Look for intros from them soon. Finally, we have a third new character played by a new player (Ray). She'll be taking over Emma (ffrost). So, look for her intro as well. :)
-Beck
P.S. Jordan has dropped Wicked and I have decided to drop Karma. We just didn't have the interest to focus on them and give them the attention they deserve. If anyone is interested in playing either of them, lemme know! |

| Okay... |
[Nov. 17th, 2008|09:16 pm] |
Recently we've lost a few members via busy schedules and personal business. Dan can now be counted among those individuals. While this isn't crippling to the game (as he only plays one or two active characters), it pisses me off. So... any helpful suggestions to get some new life would be savvy. After all is said and done, (almost) everyone that opposed a restart is gone. I just feel like no one wants to join in something that's so convoluted. Hellz. Sorry to be kind of a downer. I just want to see some activity and have a plot that produces cooperation and muses and plot bunnies and all that other fun crap. Thoughts?
FYI - I'm really depressed, so non-perky constructive criticism should be left out. >_< Just sayin'.
Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions.
-Beck
P.S. After talking with Leigh, a restart seems a little more possible. Maybe right after X3. Jean crawls out of the coffin. Scott pops back into existence and wanders. Logan comes back/remains to deal with the Jean revival. Storm/Kurt have Harmon, as Kurt hasn't left as is "canon" post-X2. Rogue didn't take the Cure. Iceman and Kitty are flirty, but mutant rights and issues are in a worse upheaval now than before and Kitty is concerned. Beast and Magneto are alive and well. Eh? |

Hey guys, this is Rob. I'm bringing in Warpath to enhance the Native club. Anyone up for plottin'?

[Nov. 11th, 2008|01:26 pm] |
I realize that I dumped six of my characters within the last month and I reworked my character roster recently but--yes, there's a but! I'm bringing back Matrix, because a.) I was already beginning to miss her, even with her lack of plottage and b.) I ended up talking to Beck the other night and somehow, I ended up deciding to bring her back WITH A SISTER. Mind you, Contact is a semi-NPC and if I find the right person to play her, I'll gladly hand her over to them. However as of right now, she's not adoptable. I sort of want to establish her first and go from there.
I know that my character roster is pretty uneven and I plan on fixing that later. I like to follow the rules, but it will have to wait until after the holidays. (Yes, I mean it this time. Lol.) But in the meantime, I'll be trying to find a new character (or maybe an old character) to bring into the game. As always, suggestions/ideas are always welcomed and appreciated. :)
- Leigh (Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Sunpyre, Flux, Matrix and semi-NPC!Contact)
P.S.: Anyone want to scene? Plot? Anything? Boredom is beginning to take its toll on me. Meh. |

| New Rogue. |
[Nov. 5th, 2008|05:46 pm] |
Hi. Just a few notes - I'm taking Rogue over, and she needs a John and Bobby to go with Kitty. Whee!
This Rogue never took the cure (as per X3 novel canon) and she has never been with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She's all nerdy and crap, and a bit pent up, so... that'll probably cause some fun at some point. She is also not dating Iceman, nor has she since he dated Kitty. And she probably never will, unless he does some fancy wooing. Most of her energy has been directed at training (physical!) and studying (college!) and more recently missions (volunteering!). So she could probably us a break.
I'd love to interact with Jubilee, Kitty, Sunfire/pyre, Colossus and Wolvy. Look out, y'all.
-Beck
P.S. I found this on deviantart and had to share it. It's by 'drcool'.

Before these characters get posted, I wanted to mention that some changes have been made...
A) Iceman and Mystique are now up for grabs. (As well as Pyro, Angel, Juggernaut, Psylocke, Multiple Man, Meltdown, etc, etc.) Leigh has decided to drop Rogue and Mystique, as well as two of her originals; Matrix and Nightshade. I'm gonna snag Rogue, and hopefully we can shuffle around or get some new folks to pick up our X-Men. We need 5+ film canons now. Oi!
B) Polaris might be better off in the Hellfire Club - any thoughts? Twins, did you still wanna leave? Then Mystique could run the show her own way. Ideas?
C) In their character summaries, Mars and Zap were supposedly living at Xavier's and doing their old jobs. We've decided that they are still infected with the Upir Virus (their choice) and are living off the synthetic blood. They are living in a home of their own nearby and visit the mansion near-daily. A little independence goes a long way.
RULES UPDATE
I added the following information to rule #8 on the rules page.
ADDED 11/04/08 Thread limit! Please involve each of your characters at any given time in only two threads. This will help to keep overexposure down and will allow all characters equal time in the spotlight. Logs, journal entries, etc do not fall under this rule - only open, on-going threads. But try to spread your attention evenly over all of your characters.
-Beck
A word from Rob: So, I was thinking a bit on the state of the world after our fast forward. What I would like to see is something kind of the fandoms of Firefly, Star Trek and Star Wars, in that the further you get from civilization (for our purposes, the cities and towns) the more likely it is that there is lawlessness - wilderness - uncertainty. There would be a feeling of unexplored territory, sort of like a semi-Old West. There are still rebel mutants, humans, vampires and Darkseekers in the nooks and crannies of the world, so people would stay closer to cities and try to keep in groups. If anyone has any input (eh?) or questions/comments, leave 'em. :D
-Rob
P.S. obamarama! |

We've lost David and (apparently) Cathy, as she hasn't responded to messages/e-mails. Luckily, that's only three characters, only one being movie canon. (Multiple Man.) So... if anyone is interested in Northstar or Jamie, lemme know. I'm probably going to put Wild Child on the banned list. I also dropped Pyro, so if anyone is interested, lemme know! Since there's a restart, you'd have a chance to make any of these pups your own. And for the record, I dropped Sway too. Keeping my balance closer to rule-following. lol This has been updated, by the way:
-Beck
P.S. Thanks for posting the summaries, folks. |

| Hey folks. |
[Oct. 23rd, 2008|10:43 pm] |
News for yous. There are two new characters up for grabs (Psylocke and Boom Boom/Meltdown). Leigh's decided to drop them, and carry on the rest of her pups (some still in hiatus).
Also, at this time, I'd like to remind everyone of the 2 canons to 1 original guideline. Some of us players from a while back have mixed up characters so many times that we may or may not be breaking the rule, so, give it some thought and check your lists. Also, new players should think on picking up two canons before apping with an original. If no other canons appeal to you, talk to me about it. :)

| Hey, it's me again.... |
[Oct. 16th, 2008|05:00 pm] |
In light of recent events, I'm going to be putting two more characters on hiatus: Scarlet Witch and Boom Boom. Reason why I'm doing this is because they've sort of been left in limbo and I need time to figure out what I'm going to do with them. Flux will probably be making her return here shortly, though. :)
So yeah, if any of you guys have ideas/suggestions, please let me know! I'd rather not have them sitting out of the game for too long.
- Leigh (Phoenix, Mystique, Rogue, Psylocke, Matrix and Nightshade; hiatused!Flux, Scarlet Witch and Boom Boom) |

Just wanted to inform everyone of some minor changes to my OC Recon (reconstruct_you). After some discussion and input from others, I will be changing the PB to Gale Harold. His characteristics fit the mold a little better, however I did make him a couple of years older. Nothing about past character interactions have changed, it's all the same - just a different face.
Another tidbit of information; I will hopefully begin playing Hellion soon (hell_bent). The "Extra" at the bottom of his profile explains why I haven't got him going yet. If you haven't read that information, please do so as I don't want anyone being confused about his affiliation. I've caught wind about the future of the Brotherhood so I look to be posting him soon.
That's it.

[Aug. 26th, 2008|05:13 am] |
We're trying out a new (minor) piece of plot. Rob and I thought it'd be interesting if Xavier's started using the concept of teams/squads from Cyclops/Storm down to Artie and Leech. People would be placed into these based on their personalities and most likely would be encouraged to train together, would be sent out together and to help each other out around the school/grounds. So, let us know what you think. Yay canon! If everyone would like to go check out this page: Squads, that'd be savvy. Please comment with any questions, thoughts or changes. If your characters aren't mentioned, it's because I didn't want to take any liberties. Feel free to shuffle things around. No one's feelings will be hurt. All of this would begin shortly before or shortly after the restart.
LOADS OF NEW CHARACTERS AND UPDATES.
Pulse now belongs to Rob.
Karma now belongs to Beck.
Dan has picked up Hellion. (hell_bent)
Jordan has picked up Wicked. (haunted_)
Beck has picked up Dazzler. (offendthesenses)
Beck has added Diamond to her 'temporary' characters (which also includes Cyclops).
Beck has put Scoot and Toad on hiatus.
LOOK FOR A MISSION OUTLINE ASAP!
On Monday, the mission will be posted In Character that will crack our vampire!plot wide open. Before then, look for an outline and chance for discussion/questions. The mission will begin after they've arrived and begun their tasks, already in full swing. I don't want to risk wasting time or causing boredom for something that doesn't necessarily need to be written out, but will trigger bigger, more dramatic events and themes. I still believe it will be a very important plot point to write out though, and fun to boot.
LISTS OF LISTS
Recently, Dan and I have been updating lists like mad, but I'm afraid some are still out of date. So, if you'd all check over some of these links for us, and comment with corrections or thoughts, that would be a great help.
THE SCREEN NAMES LIST (If your character's screen name was not chosen by you, feel free to choose a different one.)
BIRTHDAYS
RELATIONSHIPS
GENERAL PLOT
WANTED SCENES (If you haven't done this yet, please do! Comment on that page with a link to your list!)
CONTACTS (Make sure you're up to date!)
RULES - They've been updated and condensed. ^_^
-Beck
P.S. Has everyone heard about Johnny Depp being the new Riddler in the next installment of Batman? Worse still (I'm a Johnny fan, a Riddler fan and a Batman fan, and I don't think this is a good idea. I hope Nolan makes me eat my words), Cher is rumored to be the next Catwoman. 'Older and more menacing'. Wait... Catwoman's a sex icon and an athlete. So... |

| Hey folks, update! |
[Jul. 28th, 2008|09:30 pm] |
So - Dan and I have decided to play Magneto and Professor Xavier as NPCs and not playable, completely functional characters. We discussed their situations and the characters (their history, personalities and fan preference/admiration). We both think it'd be more comfortable for us if the characters were played when needed - much less stressful.
I hope this is cool with everyone. Dan was hoping to pick up a canon in replacement. We'll see how things pan out. Thanks folks,
-Beck et Dan |

| So! |
[Jul. 26th, 2008|04:27 am] |
John's coming back. I just wanted to clear a few things up, since I haven't had a chance to write anything for him since the fight with Bobby. I plan to carrying on with that thread, actually, but it's planned that Colossus will join John and Demon outside. So that'll help move things along some.
In short, he's coming back to the X-Men. He has several reasons, which would probably do really well put into a blog entry, so I might do that eventually. But I just didn't want his loyalties up in the air during the prom thread. So, I'm off to get him a prom date. :D

Hey everybody! I just wanted to let it be known that I've made some major changes (with Becky's help) to Edana. She is no longer a catwoman. She is now an empath! Woo! She's also the school's counselor and has been for quite sometime. So, if anyone's characters have any issues, I'm up for plotting! :D If you would like to learn more please go here: levity_

| *Update* - Character Alterations |
[Apr. 2nd, 2008|06:30 pm] |
After a lot of thought and discussion, I've decided to make some changes to Avalanche and I wanted to let everyone know for interaction purposes.
I've changed details such as his age (a little older), his demeanor/behavior, his purpose, and most of all his loyalties. It was brought to my attention that the abundant amount of Brother's loyal to Mystique was dividing the group, so I'm attempting to balance it out a little.
You can check out his revised profile here.
Update - Avalanche will no longer have the knowledge of weaponry and special tactics.
Thanks,
Dan |
