--- TJ's character info sheet.
(repost, don’t reblog)
name: Talia Josephine Wagner name meaning: Talia: Dew of God; Flourishing, blooming; Talia is a feminine name of Hebrew and Aramaic origins. Deriving from the Hebrew words tal, meaning “dew,” and yahweh, meaning “God,” Talia means “dew of God,”. Talia has numerous alternative spellings—including the Greek Thalia, meaning "flourishing" or "blooming"—all of which share the popular -ia ending. Josephine: The name Josephine is of Hebrew origin and means "Jehovah increases" or "He shall increase." It is the feminine version of Joseph, which is a variation of the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning “Jehovah increases.” (I would add the Wagner name but I got lost reading about the family crest) alias/es: TJ, Teej, Nocturne, occasionally called blue girl ethnicity: Caucasian, Indo-Aryan origin (Romani), Egyptian or Arab (possibly or whatever ethnicity Azazel is), (whatever ethnicity Raven Darkhölme is ) one picture you like: Have a panel (I like her with longer ears more tho)
three hcs you never told anyone:
TJ has shown a fondness for music at a young age, learning how to play the piano from her father Kurt, though she was encourage to learn the simpler songs because of her lack of digits, Talia stubbornly stuck with it until her fingers moved agilely over the keys, often using her tail to help her. Unfortunately she lost the skill after her stroke. Her left hand still moves over the keys swiftly but she often finds herself frustrated at the slowness of her right. She at times practices by herself but has since picked up the drums (various) instead.
Though TJ can produce a shield that now protects her from physic attacks, her mind palace is fairly similar to that of a Hard Rock or Death Metal band concert. First forcing intruders to bypass the gathered crowd or mash pit to reach the stage. Secondly forcing them to get past spikes (coming outward from the stage) to reach her. All the while every single instrument are playing off beat & off key while she's either singing or screaming off key herself on stage. A similar setting has been shown in comics twice. Once when the Shadow King tries to take over her mind (it took him 3 or 4 tries to succeed) & another in an alternate future where her mind was being repaired from being turned into a hound (the End). Both times Jean & Kurt were the ones journeying through the depths of her mind.
When in a fight she often switches between acrobatics similar to her father's, the hand-to-hand combat of her grandmother Raven & possessing her enemy to use their powers. After her stroke she's shifted to possessing someone to move more swiftly during combat. Though they're not as agile as she prefers.
AGE: Once a member of Exiles, TJ's aging stopped. Hank stating that they were put into a stasis outside of time (though she was able to get pregnant). Time between jumps to new realities could last anywhere from hours, weeks to years. Though she celebrated her 21st birthday once she was a member of the team she'll probably refer to herself as being in the mid-twenties. However, her age is more likely to be in her late-twenties to early-thirties. Though even remembering most of her time with the Exiles TJ can't pinpoint it closer as they traveled not just to different realities but through space & time as well.
Bonus: Currently working on flushing out her powers/abilities. Figuring out her limitations for her low-level Telepathy (it's more useful while she's possessing someone) & making it easier for myself to keep track of things. Immunity to teleportation sickness & her being able to use her hex bolts while near a dampener for instance.
three four things your character likes doing in their free time:
Song writing - TJ enjoys thinking up new songs, though writing them is a bit more difficult she continues to do so. She has various unfinished songs in a notebook (often within a side bag she travels with when she's moving from reality to reality.
Training- Used to the harsh training conditions of her home reality (she used to practice in the danger room on higher difficulties solo with her father present), TJ often trains when she's able to find the time or an area. Trying to increase the effectiveness of her weaker right side.
Listen to music - Tj often searches for new music when she reaches a new reality, adding it to her ipod if she's able. She'll often be surprised at differences in songs & the fact bands broke up.
Reading - Though reading isn't as easy for her as it used to be she often enjoys fairytales & folklore when she's taking a break from trying to reabsorb the different creation theories & Kabbalah.
eight people your character likes / loves:
Kurt Wagner - Though her relationship with her dad in her home reality was often strained before she became an Exile, TJ bonds quickly with the Kurt of Earth 616. His presence making her feel welcomed in the new reality. Often checking up on him when she's out of the country.
Wanda Maximoff - Though Wanda lived mainly in the Avengers mansion in her own reality, TJ grew up very close with her mother & greets every version she meets as if they're her birth mother.
Billy Kaplan/Tommy Shepard - TJ's reality is supposed to be a future alteration to 616, so I see them as her half siblings & I could see her taking the time to visit them before the exiles thing happen when she had time. Considering how often she trained it would have probably been once every few months, though there's a high chance she doesn't remember it at all.
Max Eisenhardt/Erik Lehnsherr/etc - After her stroke, TJ researched Erik, much like the rest of her family she had yet to run into on Earth 616. There's a high chance before that time, she easily fell into working with the Brotherhood for a short period of time, trying to run into him.
Raven Darkhölme - Unlike the rest of her family, Raven is probably the one that she's the most divided about. She struggles with this due to the fact that she tries not to judge people on past actions too heavily or actions that weren't their own. Her grandmother is someone TJ has to remind herself that she's not the one from her own reality & that venting her frustrations by yelling at her wouldn't serve a purpose. She would like to become close with another version of her. However, Talia's displacement or world's time displacement is due to Raven killing Kurt before he started dating Wanda. Leading to TJ's Earth being completely erased & no matter the original promise the Timebroker gave her, Talia will never find her original home.
John Proudstar (Deceased) - While traveling through realities, John & TJ became very close, fell in love & ended up retiring on a random reality together. They had their own struggles. John working through what Apocalypse did to him & TJ disliking it whenever John treated her similarly to James of her own Earth, but they found happiness for a time. He's the one person Talia found the easiest to remember & hardest to grieve as she's still in love with him. Unlike with her family, she has no desire to make connections with other versions of him in other realities.
Clarice Ferguson - Talia's closest friend on the Exiles team, the girls would often have fun relaxing on a beach or talking about the lighter things while they went from war zone chaos to mystery reality on the regular. While she was nearly as close to their teammate, Morph, TJ worries about Clarice the most though she doesn't show it.
Aunt Anna & Uncle Remy LeBeau - While on Earth 616 she grew closer to them than she did in her own reality. Even adapting a version of her Aunt's hair cut for a time. Talia at time tries to listen the mood by stopping by to dance on their ceiling or watching the classics.
two things your character regrets:
[Trigger Warning: miscarriage] Even though before it happened Talia spent nearly a month fighting in a gladiator prison (beating everyone to the point they ((the Skrulls)) started pitting her against flyers), having to face Galactus upon being freed, experiencing John self-sacrificing himself so she & their child would survive. Though it is unlikely she'll ever share it & most of the people who know are long gone, TJ blames herself for loosing their child after she finally has an emotional breakdown when she's forced to leave John in his hospital bed to go to another reality.
Taking things for granted - Memories, the easiness of gymnastics, walking, writing & reading. After her stroke she realizes she took a lot of them for granted as they came second nature to her.
two phobias your character has:
Being a Cripple
The inability to regain memories or relearn what she's lost
