Unfortunately, I’ had a lot of things going on at home, at the moment, and so I haven’t had a lot of time to admin things. I hope to give this rp more time, however, if anyone would be willing to help me co-admin then send me a wee little message.

RAVEN DARKHOLME | MYSTIQUE 

Age: 26 (Appears 20 on all legal documents) Occupation: Model Status: Undeclared Mutant Abilities: Shapeshifting, Superhuman Agility & Agelessness 

Raven Darkholme has always been a survivor, mostly because she was forced to be until it was all she knew how to be. Her abilities manifested when she was a young girl, and Raven ever the adaptor was quick to control them causing her family to fear their own daughter. Her natural blue form showed itself – scaly, yellow eyes, to her family, she was hideous, and they attempted to kill her prompting Raven to run. She wore a variety of different disguises whilst on the run, whatever would get her what she needed, when she needed. She grew up quickly on the streets, and Raven has always been ashamed of the lengths she went to to survive, but has never apologised for always doing whatever she had to.

Her desperation came to an end upon stumbling upon the home of Charles Xavier. She hadn’t thought much of it, only that the place was large and appeared to be owned by people of wealth - and wealth to Raven meant an abundance of food and valuables that wouldn’t be missed. Disguised as the woman of the house, Raven slipped inside with skills of silence she’d acquired over the years. He found her by the fridge, a boy who couldn’t be much older than she was, a boy she attempted to convince she was his mother only for him to see right through it and reveal to her that like her, he had spectacular abilities. She was adopted by the boy’s stepfather and grew to become his shadow, his closest friend, his sister in every sense of the word.

Raven was the protective type, constantly getting into fights with her adoptive brother Cain whenever she discovered he’d done anything to cause Charles hurt. Well into their teenage years, she was the type to disapprove of any girl who might look his way which tended to look more like jealousy than protectiveness. As time went on, Raven became more aware of Charles’ status as the golden child, and just how different she was to everyone else. As a child she’d found solace in the fact that much like her, Charles was different, a mutant just like she was. But she got older, she got insecure, and it seemed to her that everyday her skin got bluer, and she got uglier. Together, she and Charles worked on a disguise and whilst her brother simply wanted to shield her from what the world would think of her, Raven always felt that he wanted something a little bit less hideous to look at.

Following the death of her adoptive father Kurt, Raven travelled to England with Charles where he studied at Harvard and she took up a job waitressing. It was a simple enough life, and though Raven was intelligent beyond her years, she was happy to spend her days working whilst Charles studied, always feeling the lesser of the two but never allowing it to get to her. They were always the happiest days of her life – where no one knew her name, she was simply a faceless girl taking orders and supporting her brother and best friend in his studies. He graduated, and Raven followed Charles on his travels, she followed him wherever it was he wanted to go. And that was just the way things went between she and Charles.

From there, things began to spiral out of Raven’s control. Her life became a media affair once Charles became one of the most recognisable faces in the world. He was the professor, the TV sensation, the genius, and now the CEO of Xavier Corporations. Meanwhile, she became known as Charles Xavier’s pretty blonde sister. Nothing more, nothing less. The media pounced on her, creating images for her, putting words in her mouth, and Raven’s insecurities grew worse everytime a magazine deemed her as ‘beautiful’. They printed her name in every story, and they never used her real face, and though Raven’s disguise was impeccably well managed, she would always know who she was beyond the golden curls and blue eyes. She was ashamed of herself, but never shy. The world knew her as Charles’s brassy sister, the one who had an answer for everyone, the less intelligent one, living off of her brother’s fortune and charitable nature. Wanting to be more than a personality - a sister - Raven went into modelling despite her insecurities and began to make more of a name for herself, working part time whilst Charles remained the brains of the two.

Though she remains to be Charles’s best friend, the pressure tends to get to her, causing a decent amount of tension between the pair. Raven knows she’s smarter than the image she puts out to the world, she knows she’s better than what the stories print her to be, but she allows it all to happen anyway and remains bitter toward her celebrated brother at times. She’s proud of him – proud beyond words, and there’s nothing in this world she loves more than Charles Xavier, but there’ll always be that jealousy. The jealousy that he’s respected by almost everyone they meet, jealousy that he doesn’t have to hide his real face from the world. And as much as she supports him, she’s unsure she’ll ever agree with his stance on peace between humans and mutants – she’s unsure if she wants to.

ERIK LEHNSHERR | MAGNETO

Age: 34 Occupation: Mutant Right’s Activist  Status: Declared Mutant Abilities: Electromagnetism 

As a Polish-German Jew family, the Eisenhardts never believed that their youngest, Max, was safe in East Germany, where he was born in the early 1980s. Though it had been decades since the War ended and there was an apparent order, the existence of anti-Semitism still frightened the population and Max’s father, Jakob, preferred not to take unnecessary risks. They didn’t live in the best conditions, but were a close-tied family nonetheless. The arrival of 1990 represented the German unification, a joyous event for some, but the Eisenhardts noticed a rising popularity of National Socialist groups.

While in the city of Rostock, Max met a Roma girl named Magda and was immediately infatuated. It was in a day he wanted to visit her with a present that he saw a crowd outside the refugee shelter where she lived. Concerned, Max attempted to make his way around them but he only noticed that these people had hostile intentions. In his anger, he didn’t realise what was happening as weapons, along with other metal appendages, started using themselves against the mob. Amidst the confusion, he believed himself lost to them but did not see that someone, who wisely stood away from the turmoil, had kept a close watch on him until, with surprising ease, he was being taken aside. Left too weak to fight whoever this was, he could do nothing about it.

The next time he came to, he learned that the man who took him was Klaus Schmidt and he had more resources than Max could have imagined. Klaus proceeded to threaten his family members in an attempt to get him to move metal as he had before, and it wasn’t effective without death. Experimentation defined the following years, but, eventually, Max used his abilities to escape, having better control of his powers. After doing so, he decided to seek Magda and found her alone. The two fled to Ukraine, where Max got a forger to create his identity as Erik Lehnsherr, and started a relationship. Within a few years, they were married and had a daughter, Anya.

However, when they moved to Vinnitsa, it didn’t take long for everything to go downhill. When Erik came back from work, he found the inn where Magda and Anya had been on fire, and managed to rescue Magda with his abilities. Before he could come back for Anya, a group of humans assaulted him, and he was forced to watch his daughter burn to death. Enraged, his powers manifested once again, murdering all nearby with the exception of himself and Magda. She felt, terrified, and he was too weak to follow her.

Erik attempted to search for Magda over the next months, but it was fruitless. Eventually, he traveled around Europe, seeking knowledge and others like him. It was only a matter of time before he began fighting against the unfair treatment of mutants, and word soon spread out about the man who believed that the Homo superior were worthy of more, bound to inherit the Earth as the Homo sapiens died out. He took the alias Magneto, a name for the humans to fear, and through the prevention of mutant oppression throughout many different countries, oftentimes with violent means, made himself known to political figures and international organizations.

Some wanted him dead, but many mutants saw him as a hope, a saviour. Erik gained allies, forming a group known as the Brotherhood, as well as enemies, though they would always underestimate his abilities. Even with his main goal to secure mutantkind, Erik still wishes to avenge his family and, whenever he hears of a fascist group’s assault, one can be certain they will no longer be a problem.

EVE | ELECTRIC EVE

Age: 24 Occupation: Escort Status: Declared Mutant Abilities: Electricity Manipulation 

In life, there are some people who just fall through the cracks - and for some reason, they never stop themselves from slipping further. Eve was one of those people. She had parents, a family, a home, an education - it wasn’t like she hadn’t had the best possible start to life. It was just that, for whatever reason, it wasn’t enough. Her mutant abilities never seemed to cause her trouble, they didn’t surface completely until her late teens. When she got to high school, she just sort of fell into what most people would say the ‘wrong crowd’ which was a term she couldn’t quite comprehend because for her, the crowd was right. Over time, she started to form a drug habit - at first it was relatively soft stuff compared to what her later vices in life would be. She was introduced to Ricky, who was first her dealer, but then she found herself not only addicted to the drug he supplied her with but him.

She was an addict in more ways than one. To her less than loving boyfriend Ricky, and the drugs he got her hooked on. Her parents kicked her out shortly after she was expelled from high school, and she found herself where she always wound up - pining after him and his product. Although her affections weren’t reciprocated. With no money to fuel her drugs habits, and Ricky no longer willing to give up anything else until she paid off what she owed him. He made a proposal - one she initially refused on principle but as the need started nipping her at the back of her brain, Ricky’s temper grew shorter, his affections crueler and his insistence more stern. So Eve agreed. She agreed to sleep with strangers for money, for Ricky. Over time Eve forgot why she was so initially disgusted by the thought, but then again she could quite feel the same way she used to - she didn’t want to. Her addiction got her head and heart into a place where thought and feeling didn’t matter, because none of it hurt any more. There was one blow however than never quite healed, and one she always wanted to. There was more girls like her to Ricky, it was stupid to think otherwise - but Eve always thought that somehow she had to be special to him, apparently not.

She wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, she hadn’t had a fix and she didn’t want to have to deal with a client Ricky had set her up with. He didn’t want to hear that, and neither did the client so it was business as usual. Only it wasn’t, because nights on the job didn’t end up with the client dead. It was a jolt of some sort, a surge of energy that ran through her body like she’d been struck by lighting only she created the lightning in the first place, but while her body seemed to deal with it - the other man’s body couldn’t, and she killed him. She had no idea what it was, it had never occurred before. Ricky got shot of her after that, cut her off and broke her heart. There were things- habits, however, he let her keep. Her addiction worsened over time. And with the amount of drugs she needed, the more money she had to earn in the only way she thought she could. With Ricky around and less than happy with her little outburst, she soon fled from Chicago to New York to carry on with her work. They were both big cities, Eve was somewhat hoping they’d be similar - but she couldn’t have been more wrong.

LOGAN HOWLETT | THE WOLVERINE

Age: Unknown  Occupation: Bartender Status: Declared Mutant Abilities: Accelerated Healing & Retractable Claws 

With no memory of his past life, Logan lived fifteen years as a lumberjack with metal claws. The people who know him sees him as a violent man, with no regard for anyone else and terrible anger management issues. He spent years trying to figure out who he really was and what happened to him in the past. This loss of identity turned Logan into a broody man with no desire to socialize and connect with other people, unless they had the ability to help him out. When he heard about all the fuss concerning mutants, he knew he was one of them and this only fueled his desire to learn about his origins.

Logan left his job and moved to New York, where there has been an uprising of mutants who are willing to fight for their freedom. Despite not having any interest in joining their cause (he prefers to remain uninvolved), he constantly attends thei rallies in hopes of finding someone who could help him. In the meantime, as he has not found that certain mutant yet, he took a job at a pub as a bartender, but also participates in underground cage fights for extra cash (and to vent out his anger).

JEAN GREY | PHOENIX 

Age: 27 Occupation: School councilor  Status: Undeclared Mutant Abilities: Telepathy & Phoenix Force

Jean Grey lived an ordinary life till the age of ten, when she witnessed the death of her best friend. It caused her telepathy to awaken, and with none to understand her situation, her life spiraled downwards from there.

Constantly hearing voices in her head and unable to shut them off, Jean became known as the ‘special child’. She was an outcast in school and regularly met up with a psychiatrist to 'fix her problem’. It was only after her telekinesis began to show that her parents found she was actually a mutant and the therapy sessions came to an end.

With this new found knowledge, and none to counsel with, it was up to Jean to understand and control her powers on her own. It was difficult to say the least, but her parents were supportive all the way and soon enough, Jean regained the balance in her life.

As a sign of a fresh new start, she transferred schools. This time, however, she decided it was best to keep her mutation on low-key. It seemed to be a good choice as it helped Jean blend in with her fellow peers more easily and make friends at last–something the lone girl wished she’d have again.

Though she had trouble blocking out most of the other people’s minds, high school and college ended without a hitch, and Jean successfully landed herself a job as a school counselor.

It wasn’t long afterwards that things grew shakier once more. Life became tough as the resentment towards mutants thickened. When the act was established, Jean knew she couldn’t register herself. Not if it meant losing her job and home. But at the same time, she knew she had to do something. So using her occupation to an advantage, she began by bringing in the topics of equality and peaceful coexistence, talking about mutants in a good light to the students. This, however, would not be for long as sentinels now roam the area and Jean knows she will be caught soon enough unless she takes the mutant suppressants.
