To commemorate the latest X-Men movie, the Last Stand, I decided to create a X-Men RPG. Enjoy!


X-Men: The Path to Darkness


Basic Overview of X-Men:

For as long as anyone can remember, there have always been two worlds on this planet. The normal world and the ‘mutant’ world. This ‘mutant’ world that co-exists with the ‘normal’ world is home to a ‘race’ of people called mutants. These mutants are still nonetheless, human beings; sometimes there is no way of telling them apart from ‘normal’ people, while other times, it is glaringly obvious.

They are still so called Homo sapiens; we are of the same blood and flesh. The only difference is mutants, who are actually called Homo sapien superiors, possess fantastical, unreal, even deadly supernatural powers they were born with. Their powers range from the ability to levitate a small teaspoon to the power to cause a Hurricane, even to take lives in mass numbers with the simple flick of a finger. Nonetheless, even though their powers and abilities are great; they are still human beings, and speak in the languages used by humans. And so the Mutant World existed alongside our world…

The two worlds have co-existed for many centuries; some times being more peaceful than others. Nevertheless, we still shared the same soil and turf and the two worlds managed to keep sound harmony. That was until recent times…

Unfortunately, not all mutants and civilians are as mild and open minded as it is desired. Not all mutants are good, some turn bad, evil. These mutants turn bad and openly show their hate they have for normal humans. These dark mutants believe in Mutant Superiority over baseline humans and believe in the so called ‘blood purity’; that those with superpowers, are superior to all of those who are not, and the humans should be rid of.

They torture and kill humans; they blackmail their supporters, even if they are mutants themselves. But most gruesome of all, these people will not stop at any chance to achieve their goal; all who stand in their way are killed. The humans, spiteful, full of hatred and most importantly, afraid, grew a bitter prejudice against the mutants; even those who support them… For many years blood have been shed; both innocent and guilty…

For many years, three forces fought bitterly against each other; mutants who believe in mutant superiority, humans who are afraid and spiteful towards mutants and the mutants who believe in peace; those who believe mutants and humans can peacefully co-exist. Many lives have been lost on all sides but in recent times, peace had been preserved and the evil mutants were no more. But they were not gone; for they lied dormant in the ranks of men, patiently waited for the perfect chance to strike. All they needed was a leader to lead them in battle and to achieve their goal…

It all began on a typical day in the newly formed State of Israel. A Jewish man, who had recently experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, was at the psychiatric hospital near Haifa, where he and many other Holocaust survivors were receiving counselling to help release them from their traumas. There, the man met a crippled worker in a wheel chair at the hospital.

The two then became immediate friends and they held lengthy debates hypothesising what would happen if humanity were to be faced with a new, super-powered, race of humans. The Jewish man believed the new race of humans should and would conquer over the humans in a militant fashion while the crippled worker thought the two races should and would peacefully co-exist in harmony. The two men then departed and left in their separate ways. Those two men were known as Erik Magnus Lehnsherr and Charles Francis Xavier. Little did they know what was soon to follow…

There is a gene called the “X-Factor” that determines if you are to be a mutant or a human. Those with the gene are mutants while those without it are not… That gene had been dormant for a notable amount of time been suddenly, it started to reappear rapidly in the new generation of teenagers; the two worlds were soon forced to collide again…

The humans were afraid; the mutants were now growing in mass numbers. They were afraid of them. Many killed and committed mass genocide of mutants. Things were getting out of hand. Soon, the evil mutants were getting restless… and bloodthirsty... Then it happened…

The evil mutants were united under one leader while the good mutants were also united under one leader. Two forces were about to collide. These two leaders were now called Magneto and Professor X.; once known as Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier…

Xavier’s group was known as the X-Men; Magneto’s group named themselves the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rivals, enemies, nemeses, call them what you wish but the two forces fought bitterly and casualties were on both sides…

Finally, after the efforts of many people, humans and mutants alike, the Brotherhood had been defeated. People rejoiced and the X-Men were smiling with relief; a battle had been won. But the war was not over yet…

Destiny, a female mutant, was blessed with the power of precognition; she was able to foresee the future to come. Before she became blind and her powers suffered, she wrote all of her prophesies in a series of journals. Her journals were then lost and she died at the hands of a mutant called Legion. Her journals were not to be taken lightly and for a good reason…

Six months after the fall of Brotherhood, exactly 2:07 A.M., on the fourth of February, a young female mutants residing in the X-Mansion, was struck down by a mysterious illness and she soon laid dead in a matter of seconds. Doctors were baffled at illness; they had never seen one quite like it before. It was dismissed as a tragedy and a fluke. But soon, then another mutant, then another; things were getting serious. Then finally, a human child died. Something was happened and it was definitely not good.

The illness, dubbed the “Legacy Illness”, named after the infamous Legacy Virus, spread quickly among the ranks of men, both mutant and human, taking lives at an astonishing rate. Doctors could not identify the disease, nor find a cure to it. Soon the disease took the lives of millions. A team of talented geneticists managed to find an Antibody which slowed down the rate of the disease’s effects but people still died at a fast rate and something must be done about it.

Also, during the midst of chaos, all the former members of the Brotherhood had disappeared mysteriously. Xavier knew this was not a simple coincidence…

But Storm, also known as Ororo Munroe, finally found something that brought both hope to the X-Men, and a chill down their spine. In the city of Nairobi, capital of Kenya, she had discovered a handwritten journal; the handwriting was Destiny’s. She brought the journal to her team-mates and inside was as follows:



Mutants and humans fight bitterly with one another. Some may say it is necessary, others say it is stupid and pointless. But soon, they will be forced to be reunited, for what the future holds for this planet is beyond my imagination- and my nightmares. The Decimation, The Legacy Virus, The Genocide at Genosha; all of those are horrible, terrible things that would happen. But what I have seen is more terrible than all three of these combined. Long ago, when the world was still young, an entity of pure evil emerged.

It had powers beyond people’s imaginations. It was almost invincible. Soon this evil spread throughout the worlds like an epidemic and consumed the hearts of people with evil and corrupted them. People were in despair; they did not know what to do. But the Five Legendary Mutants emerged. The mutants each had a power; The One of Courage, the One of Love, the One of Wisdom, The One of Kindness and The One of Faith in a climatic battle against the evil. The Five won but were only able to seal the evil away, for the cost of their lives.

The Five then in their dying breath, transformed themselves into pure magical entity, and were to be reborn, reincarnated, resurrected as another person, different yet with the same soul, to save the world; when the time is right. Their souls became dormant, hidden in the chasms of time, to be reawakened when the time is right; when their wielder has reappeared.

The Evil then waited patiently for the right moment to strike. When it comes, people will die, women will scream, children will cry. It will summon a disease, more powerful and deadly than all the diseases the world has seen combined, to prepare its way; to ease things for itself. All hope will be lost but this prophesy is the answer, the only answer, to this evil:


Five strange fingers form Fate’s hand,
Each one plays part at Fate’s command.
A clouded past, the answers it keeps,
Until its time each secret sleeps.
When pain is truth and truth is pain,
The Evil of The Past shall be freed again.
Five shall go but five shall not return,
Vain hope and pride in terror burn.


To unravel this mysterious, these Five must travel back in time to undo this evil but woe to these Five as troubled times lie ahead. The war may seem to be won but the real battle has just begun and the true evil was still waiting for the perfect chance to strike…

And those who face the wrath of the evil shall feel the indescribable pain and may God have mercy on them for I as a mortal soul do not know as only God knows what will happen to them…



The X-Men looked at each other. They knew what was to be done. If what Destiny said was true then the Five must be found as it was their only hope. Xavier then proceeded to be Cerebra to try and locate the Five. Somebody had to travel back to the exact moment of when the Disease first struck, perhaps a few weeks prior, and undo this evil and horror. Professor X. certainly hoped that the legend was true…

Summary:

You are one of the predestined Ones of Courage, Love, Wisdom, Kindness and Faith. You don’t know that. All you know is that you have received a strange letter to attend a seminar at some Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning. The X-Men will send you back in time, using some DNA of Time Travelling Mutants and some Shi'ar technology, time-travel approximately four weeks before the Disease first struck. You must try and solve the mystery of Disease and this “Evil”. You will probably encounter the Brotherhood along the away. Your adventure starts at the front gate of the Xavier’s Institute of Higher Learning where you will first meet the soul of your past life and become One again…

Okay, now that that’s done, I suppose I have to explain technical terms now?



The Five and their Souls: As you know, the Five were five (duh) really powerful mutants (Omega Level) who once sacrificed their lives to defeat and seal-up the “Evil”. Their souls were separated from their bodies and were dormant; asleep for many centuries until the time was right. After they wake up, they will find you, their now newly reincarnated bodies, and become one; thus linking you with your past self as one of the Five. You will slowly gain your old powers; the ones you had when you were one of the Five. But they will return VERY slowly and you will only be able to fully develop and control them in the later parts of the RPG. The rate they return and HOW they return depend on your choice of One (i.e. Courage, Love, etc.) You are one of the Five, an Omega Level Mutant, but whose powers are VERY undeveloped so you start off as pretty weak, then slowly get your old powers. You have NO knowledge of your past life and that will stay that way.


Sign-Ups:

Keep in mind that this is NOT The X-Men’s story. It is related but not the same. Remember to keep your characters far away from the X-Men. In the RPG, you’ll have NO IDEA about The Brotherhood, Destiny’s Diaries and anything major; there is no real reason you should. You probably don’t know much about mutants either apart you ARE a mutant. Don’t make your character like he/she was sitting right behind Rogue or Iceman all the time. Nobody could have apart from the main witnesses. Also, regarding characters from Alternate Universes that are NOT Marvel’s and those who are related to the main characters; I want NONE of it. I’m sorry but Plot Purposes. Your character is one of the predestined Ones. You must choose one of the following Crests. Courage, Love, Wisdom, Kindness and Faith. Only ONE person can have each one and as I’m taking Wisdom, basically only four other people will be in this RPG. I’m sorry but I wanted to try out of a RPG with not many people in it.


Name:

Age:

Between 16-20

Description:

AT LEAST FIVE LINES. PM me if you want physical disfigurements and we’ll discuss it.

Personality:

AT LEAST FOUR LINES

History:

AT LEAST FIVE LINES. You’re character probably heard about the Disease from the News.

NO CHARACTERS WITH FAMILY AND/OR FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN BY THE DISEASE ARE ALLOWED.

Crest:

You will have to choose a Crest. Crests affect the rate your powers return to you and HOW they return. Choose wisely as it WILL affect how the RPG goes.

Abilities:

As you grow and learn more about yourself and of the past, you will discover that you are able to perform things you thought you cannot do. For the moment, please list only one underdeveloped ability. You may NOT use Reality Wrapping and Time Travel. Keep it simple and easy for the moment. When there's a cafe thread, we can work on other abilities you can discover during the RPG.

Sample:

Please make a sample of your character getting to the Institute. You are either at the airport catching a plane and you’re late, on a packed train which is in a middle of a BIG delay or catching a taxi in a middle of a GIANT traffic jam.

Basic rules:

1) No God-Modding or 'invincible' players.

2) I have the right to expel or refuse anyone who does not meet my standards.

3) You have a right to know why I am expelling/refusing you.

4) I expect you to at least skim each person’s post so you know what is happening.

5) If you are going to swear excessively, post a warning at the top of your post please. I don’t mind swearing if it is appropriate for that situation, but no needless profanity please.

6) No extreme romance, i.e. No sex scenes. If you are thinking of developing a relationship between two characters, kissing is the maximum you can do.

7) No bunnying, i.e. controlling another RPGer’s character. You can only control another person’s character with their expressed permission VIA PM.

8) Try to post at least once every two days. I don't want this to die as soon as it starts.

9) HAVE FUN!


The rules could be edited later.

I am cracking down on grammar, length and depth in this RPG. I will not, I repeat, not accept anyone who I feel cannot uphold to my grammar and RPG’ing standards. I will also expect an RPG sample from any applicants, to prove you are capable of posting to my standards.

Be warned: when the RPG starts, I will not hesitate to expel any members of the Five who don’t post long replies. No five line additions to the RPG, that’s not a post. Plus, I expect some level of maturity in your posts, and a basic usage of proper, and possibly advanced, English.

Reservations: This RPG is aimed for MATURE people who have high RPG standards. I will only reserve spots for RPG moderators and those I can trust. Everyone else, do it the hard way.



1) Courage: Dream Breaker RESERVED
2) Love: crystal-zephyr ACCEPTED
3) Wisdom: masterwannabe ACCEPTED
4) Kindness/Kindness:
5) Faith: MerkelHog RESERVED

EDIT: About the colours, don't worry; I just thought of some colours associated with each Crest that's all. Kindness has two because I don't think some boys would be comfortable with Pink; it was just to give people more a choice really. Personally I like Green MUCH more than Pink; Pink is one of my least favourite colours but to others, it is their favourite.

She also has a necklace strung with silver pearls and a tatoo of a red dragon on her left arm and a long scar on her right.

Personality: She can be very sarcastic at times but is mostly a sweet girl. She has very low self-esteem and you can find her with a head in a book mostly. she doesn't talk much but prefers to listen and has picked up tips on the way- like never interupt men watching sports. She rarly gets mad with people because they know her- she'll explode with rage and start hurling critisim and other solid objects... She loves to have fun as well and is forever getting in trouble for being too energetic and knocking plant pots over in the back yard along side her best friend and almost clone, Rewanda. She can be very blushy at times but this passes.


History: She grew up in a small, costal orphanage since she was just six months old. When she turned fourteen she began looking for her parents which was a very hard task. She travelled around America with a bank acount of four thousand dollers from working her fingers to the bone with five jobs as soon as she could get them. A year into her search, she got taken into hospital with a severe cut to the arm caused by thugs trying to get the fourty dollers she was carring. A strange woman came to her ward, claiming she was her mother and they had a DNA test. She was confirmed but Serenity had already begun a series of operations trying to seal the wound as she was loosing blood, fast. A few days later and the operations were a sucsess, she had stitches but they were taken out in the months to follow. She now lives with her mother and has no father as he left her mother shortly after her birth, prompting the leaving of her at the orphanage.

Crest: Faith

Abilities: She has the power of ice, being able to freeze things in a matter of minuites.

Sample:

To Kill a Mockingbird is a really cool book. I'm reading it on the train which, may I say, is too full. Someone just spilt hot coffee on my lap! Haven't they ever heard of putting coffee in their mouths!

Anyway this guy spoke to me on the phone, and says I've got to go to this special 'institute' . I don't know what it's for-he didn't say.

What now? Oh, great, the train's stopped. Several people are groaning, even the guy with the hot coffee.

"We're having technical difficultys so you'll have to wait for a couple of minutites."

More like a couple of hours. And I get clastrophobia! Just read, Serenity, R-E-A-D! I'm getting sweaty, is it hot in here? No, it's just me because nobody exept me is twitching and sweating. And I'm the one in a skirt and a vest!

People are getting irritable now and i'm starting to get a headace. and I'm getting hotter. This isn't just clastrophobia, I'm burning up!

Great we're back online. Aparantly we went off the tracks. I am never taking the train again, I'll just get a taxi-they actually have room.

I'm actually getting coler now as well. must have just beena hot spot as I'm next to a window.

*If you want more, don't hesitate to ask, I love writing!*

Name: Kim (nicknamed Butterfly)

Age: 19

Description: Kim usually wears a pink sleeveless shirt and light blue jeans. Her shirt has slits in the back where her butterfly like wings sproat from out of her back. Her face is covered in markings you would find on a butterfly's wings so she can easily be seen as one of the X-men or just someone wearing to much make-up. She will most of the time not wear any shoes. Before becoming one of the X-men she had to wear thirteen year old's clothes which were from when she ran from home and everyone else.

Personality: She is really sporty and loves nothing more than to feel the wind in her face as she flies around. Her main desire is to fall in love fully as this has never happened to her much. She will always prefer to hang around with girls who are popular with boys to increase her chance. She can have a fiery temper when people are telling her what to do when she can do something else better. She beleives her powers are a curse but has learnt from being on the street's that they may be more than a curse, maybe a blissful gift.

History: Kim was nearly 13 when her powers activated. She was doing a sports event when her wings burst out of her shirt and she began to start flying uncontrollably. Soon after the markings appeared on her face so she was constantly picked on in school. She then learnt to stand up for herself when she found her other power to fire a sticky thread from her mouth. From then she was an outcast and lived on the streets and stole raw meat from dogs to keep alive. The only source of water she got was from rain drops. She has developed many scars from when it started raining and her wings got so wet she dropped from the sky like a ton of bricks.

Crest: Love

Abilities: She has butterfly wings and can shoot a sticky thread from her mouth.

Sample:
Life is hard being a ‘freak’ everyone knew I had that curse. Several people had approached me telling me it was a gift not a curse. They just keep trying to take me somewhere, something inside me is telling me I have no go but I’m fine where I am. All this was going through Kim’s head. She’d been like this since she was nearing her thirteenth birthday. Everyone had picked on her because of the butterfly wings sprouted from her back and the unusual markings on her face that many mistook for either a tattoo or just make up. For just over six years she had been alone. Her cousin had the same curse she had only she had sharp pine needles on her back and a very flexible spine so she could turn into a protective ball. She had practised these powers for many years so she knew exactly what she could do. For now she was Kim’s only family and the next one sent to recruit Kim.

Kim was sat behind a bin hiding from the rest of the world and waiting for the chef, of the restaurant she had her back to, to come out with some of the meat he’d give to the stray dogs that came round here a lot. This was normal for her as this was one of the only ways to get food around here. The door opened and a plum man stepped out with some meat in hand. A few dogs moved over to receive the meat. The man put it on the floor then went back inside. Kim moved her head from out of the bin and used the sticky thread to hook onto the meat and reel it in. It may have been raw but it was all she could get at this time. She slowly stood up, spread her wings then flew over the top of the wall to another alleyway. There a girl with deep brown quills covering her back was standing there looking at the girl with the butterfly wings, ragged clothes that were too small and seriously dirty skin. “You really need new clothes.” The girl said.

“These fit just fine.” Kim scowled.

“Kim! You’re wearing thirteen year old clothes. But to business, I was sent by…”

“Those X-freaks. I know all about them.”

“Then why haven’t you come to join us?”

“Because, I don’t belong there.”

“And you belong here? In these dirty alleyways?”

“No. Fine I’ll come with you on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“That no-one else knows my real name. All the others have asked my name but never said it only you did so if I go I want to be called Butterfly, got it?”

“I’m not sure that everyone will but I guess I can give it a shot. I’ll be leaving tomorrow. I’m being sent to start my own area in Africa so you may never see me again.”

“That’s fine. Just take me to a bed.” Both Kim and the girl walked off. The next day the girl again left and would probably never be seen again.

Okay. Let's get things sorted out here.

Stalinsucks667: Sorry, I can't reserve Courage for you. I don't know you well enough.

Flygonrulz: Surprisingly, your Sign-Up quality is better than I thought . HOWEVER, I'll have to Reject this. I said ONE ability which is quite weak for now. Freezing ice to begin with is a bit too much. Plus, your character seems like an Iceman rip-off. I should have said it earlier but I'll say it now: you may NOT use the following powers which are too commonly used in the Marvel Universe:

Cyrokinesis: The ability to reduce temperatures, often used to control, generate, or absorb ice.

Flight: The ability to fly unaided. This one is the most annoying. Practically any Superman or Ms Marvel wannabe has it.

Pyrokinesis: The ability to ignite and/or manipulate fire and it's associated factors.

Superspeed: The ability to move faster than a normal, athletic human, or animal. Super agility or super reflexes are often associated with most forms of super speed, as well as enhanced perception.

I'll accept the other powers as long as they satisfy the following conditions:

1.) They are not too powerful. (As the RPG goes, your powers will increase and expand so don't worry. I'll explain this in the Cafe Thread)

2.) If you want Telepathy for example, make a weaker version of it. So you can only 'sense' emotions. Or for Hydrokinesis, you can gather around half a cup amount of water with the moisture in the air. So for stronger powers, make a weaker version for now but they WILL expand and increase again.

3.) Don't use the same powers another RPG participator has.

4.) Use Razor Leaf's Sins of our Fathers RPG to get a good example of what I mean with abilities and powers.

So get it? Edit accordingly.

EmeraldDragon: Same reasons with Flygonrulz. Only that your Sign-Up isn't up to stratch either and your Sample is waaaay too short. Plus your banned... -.-;; So Rejected.

crystal-zephr: You're the only one who had bother to read my post and actually satisfied the Abilities Section. Your History is a bit out of sync as mutant powers don't start emerging until puberty. Also, your Personality, Description and History are a little bit short for my liking. Just increase each section by a few more sentences and put that Sample and you're Accepted.

Guys, use this website if you have troubles with finding powers.

EDIT:

Dream Breaker: You're trust worthy enough. Courage is reserved for you.

hey masterwannabe, mind reserving me faith. I already know what ny powers will be. I am eventually going to have the ability to produce psyconic weaponry, armor, and body enhancements such as psyconic wings and talons. But At the beginning the most I can do is cover a small part of my body with psyconic armor.

I hope this is okay.... *haven't RPed in like, forever*

Name: Tiryon de Lagham

Age: 17

Description:

Tiryon, or as she prefers, Tir – is a petite young women who gives onlookers the sense that she is otherworldly. Her skin is milk pale, shining luminously. A dirty newsboy hat is perched sideways on her loose and wavy burgundy colored hair covering the left side of her face – only allowing one hazel-colored eye to shine through. Her other eye, though almost never revealed, is of a eerie red color – almost demonic in likeness, as it shines with a glow that seems to spread despair on those who look at it. Other from her Heterochromia, Tir is a rather pleasant girl to look at – if one ignores the rags that she's dressed in. Her clothes haven't been washed for five years, and they are baggy and covered with dust and grime, not to mention the many holes that are worn on her pants and jacket.

Personality:

Tiryon is a fairly shy individual with low self esteem. However, she possesses a very analytical and quick thinking mind, which has been known to save her life several times. Fiercely loyal to the few friends she has, she would do anything to protect them – even giving up her life willingly. But one of her strange qualities is that she cannot bear to harm anyone, instead of herself, ever since after the 'incident' (see Abilities). Tir has been said to be pessimistic, but she denies it, claiming that she's realistic instead. She has a weakness for cute animals, and lives with severa – errr, a LOT.

History:

Tir was originally bought and raised Wales, born into the household of fairly well-to-do business(wo)men. When she was 12, her parents decided to move to New York City to explore more business possibilities. However, just when they've settled in their new apartment – a deranged young male stormed in, brandishing a shot gun, and fired two shots in succession – killing her parents. He left with a cold glare towards Tir, and left the gun there. With her parents dead, Tir rushed out, into the slums of New York City, where she lived there ever since – befriending other orphans, runaways, and animals. It wasn't till after an year of living on the streets did she discover her powers. (see Abilities)

Crest:

Kindness (pink)

Abilities:

Tir has always been aware that she wasn't normal – due to her demonic eye. But the day that she discovered her powers was a traumatic one. It was when she shortly started living one the streets, and during night time, a man tried to rape her and kill her. As he was squeezing her windpipe, her 'demonic' eye was accidentally revealed in her struggle to break free. As her attacker stopped in terror, Tir managed to choke out, “I wish you're dead!” At the sound of her words, he started to choke himself instead, dropping dead in a matter of seconds. Convinced that it was her fault, she started covering up her left eye, swearing never to reveal it again.

It was later discovered that she had the power of Mind Control through eye contact with her left eye, but after that incident, she could only – at most – cause onlookers to trip or turn their heads, very limited control.

Sample:

Tir glared back at the neatly dressed businessman, who was at proximal distance with her. He was glaring at her with barely disclosed disdain. Tir snorted, 'No doubt laughing at my tattered clothes perhaps.' She considered for a split second to brush away her hair to reveal the glowing red demonic eye. She stopped in mid-thought as a terrifying image appeared in her brain...

Gasping. Choking. Eyes bludging out. Pleading for his life. Hopelessness. Blood. So much blood.

She shook her head. No, now wasn't the time to think about that! She childed herself. “Get a grip Tiryon de Lagham.”

Ironically, her grip on the train bars weren't strong enough, as she was sent flying as the train skidded to a stop – sending her on the chest of the finicky businessman. “I'm sorry...” she mumbled apologetically, as she absently reached up to tuck her hair behind her right ear.

More people poured in, drawing a sigh from Tir. She would have never thought that so many people were going to New York State. “I've always thought it was vice versa...” she mumbled as the train set off again, to only realize that she missed her stop.

"Attention all travelers, there has been reported to be a delay from the station of North Salem... Attention all travelers....”


Tir groaned.

((OOC: I hope her power isn't too powerful... <<))

Sign-Ups:

Name:
Charis Lunarlla (I'm pretty sure that Charis means kindness)

Age:
18

Description:
Charis has golden blonde hair that goes just below her shoulders. At the end it flicks up. She is a metre seventy-two and weighs seventy-one kilogrammes. Her body figure is fit, due to her going to the gym with her friends. Charis has a rose tattoo on her right shoulder and likes to have it not hidden. She mainly wears a tank-top, cargo pants and occasionally a jacket if she gets cold. Most of the time, Charis wears a pale green bandana with dark green pictures of vines on her head. The bandana is also worn as a belt. Charis sometimes remembers her MP3 player but on most occasions doesn't have it with her. Her eyes are a Hazel Brown that is a little bit yellow close to the pupil. Her eyes are narrow unlike when she was fourteen and younger. They were pretty big then, but her face had reshaped through puberty, causing her eyes to appear narrower than before.

Personality:
Charis is a people person and just adores being in a big crowd. It figures as her star sign is Libra. She is also good at wieghing out options to figure out the best path for her. Charis prefers to be optimistic about most situations and shows it with the smile that she usually wears. But the smile has been locked away before. Like when she moved away from New Zealand which she was annoyed about and refused to speak to her parents for weeks. Another time, back in New Zealand, was when she was about to compete in a gymnastics tournament and one of her 'friends' taunted her during a performance, causing Charis to slip and fracture her wrist. She has never spoken to that girl since but glared at her every chance she got.

History:
Charis grew up in New Zealand as a little girl with her two parents and no siblings. At the age of twelve, she moved to America (where ever the story is set in. If there isn't a particular area where they all live and they have to live apart from eachother she lives in New York), because her father got a better job. Charis has finished school and is currently enrolled in a University, studying Paleontology since she can tell where the bones came from (see abilities). The study of Dinosaurs and their fossils. As a child, Charis has always loved Dinosaurs and still owns her very first plush doll of a T-Rex that she uses in times of despair. Charis likes to spend times with her friend, Gina, in her spare time. Gina also studies Paleontology. Charis has a part time job as a manager at McDonalds

Crest:
Kindness (Faith if that MerkelHog's gonna bow out)

Abilities:
If Charis has enough energy (which is rare since she keeps herself busy and doesn't find much time to rest) she can identify objects and tell their origins just by letting them come into contact with her hands. But she had discovered a reaction to her ability. Charis discovered that the rules of gravity don't always apply to her. She can't control it and luckily it only lifts her a few millimetres into the air for a few hours. It happens during random times and is unexpected when it comes. (Note: This isn't flying. And she can't control it or anything. It just happens and she has to deal with it. And the highest it'll ever lift her is one centimetre and it still can't hold her for more than a few hours). Whenever she sees the origin of somethinng the gravity reaction happens any where between five minutes or five days after..

Sample:
Charis was getting annoyed at the lack of Taxi's in the city. For about fifteen minutes Charis had waited for a Taxi that was supposed to pick her up and take her to the airport. Suddenly her phone rang to the tune of 'Miss Independant' by KellyClarkson.
"Hello?" Charis answered after she checked the caller id. It was her mother.
"How are you dear?" her mother asked with the calm voice that she always had. It warmed Charis on the inside.
"I'm still waiting for a Taxi. Why couldn't I just borrow your car?" Charis wanted to know. Not that a car would do as good as a taxi in this traffic.
"Charis you know why," Her mother answered, "You inherited your father's horrible driving genes." Charis smiled at this. Her mum loved to make her laugh. Then a taxi driver came up to her and asked, "Are you Miss Lunarlla?"
Charis turned to the man, putting the phone to her chest so her mother wouldn't hear the loud noises and replied, "Yes. Are you the Taxi Driver?"
The man nodded and Charis put her cellphone back to her ear.
"The Taxi Driver's here. I have to go," she sadly said to her mother.
"I understand. Remember I love you Charis," was her mothers reply. Charis smiled at her mothers voice and replied in counter to her mothers reply, "I love you too mum. Bye."
Charis ended the call and was remembering how her mother always got the time to check up on her. "So where's the Taxi?" Charis asked the Driver.
"This way miss," he answered as he beckoned her to follow. And Charis did, happy with her life.
Would she truly be happy if she knew about the life ahead of her?

If this RPG is even still going, bowing out. I like the other one better, and this one is similar to the KH one I'm in anyway.
So aren't you going to do this anymore?

And what Miyu-Chan said: Is this RP still going?

I am going to have to bow out as well. Like Dream Breaker, I also like the other X-men rpg you have and I hate to say it but this is very much like your KH's RPG.

I'm closing this. Sorry guys guys but personally I like the original X-Men RPG. Plus this one seems like it'll become too much like the KH one I made. I'm going to ask a MOD to close this. Plus there's too much on my plate right now. Sorry.
