Okay, so the basic idea here is that the Xmen, sometime after the events of Xmen: Evolution, encounter a rather unusual set of circumstances, beginning with a normal person all but making a fool of them just to get a necklace that Danielle Moonstar gave to Kitty Pryde. But it's part of a much bigger plan, as the necklace may be the key to unlocking great power, and it remains to be seen which side the thief is on.

I will be playing the thief, of course, and I may also take up the role of Wolverine. Pretty much any mutant who has ever been part of the X-men is welcome, though for some, I'd suggest you steer clear of certain versions *coughcoughwhineybitchmovieroguecoughcough*

Powers
Wolverine is a mutant who possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The speed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage Wolverine suffers. For example, he can fully recover from an ordinary gunshot wound in a non-vital area of his body within minutes, but it took him almost two months to fully recover from injuries sustained in a duel with Lord Shingen, which included one from a sword that went all the way through his trunk.

Wolverine’s natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. For example, it is nearly impossible for him to become intoxicated from drinking alcohol. He also has a limited immunity to the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity, and hence he has greater endurance than an ordinary human. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced.

In addition, Wolverine’s healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Although over a century old, Wolverine is as healthy and physically fit as a man in his prime.

Wolverine also possesses superhumanly acute senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance greater than a normal human’s. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Wolverine can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.

Wolverine’s skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.

Despite the extent of his healing factor, Wolverine is not immortal. If the injuries are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form, such as having flesh burned away by fire or acid, Wolverine can die.

Abilities
Due to his extensive training as a soldier, a C.I.A. operative, a samurai, a spy, and a member of the X-Men, Wolverine is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, having mastered virtually every fighting style on Earth. He is also a trained expert in multiple types of weapons, vehicles, computer systems, explosives, and assassination techniques. Wolverine is fluent in many languages, including Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Weapons
Wolverine’s entire skeletal structure, including his claws, has been artificially bonded to the nearly indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, Wolverine’s bones are virtually unbreakable, and his claws are capable of cutting through almost any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force he can exert. Due to his healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in his body does not interfere with his bones’ normal function of generating blood corpuscles. The reinforcement of his skeleton enables Wolverine to withstand high levels of physical pressure, giving his muscles sufficient force to briefly lift/press several hundred pounds.

Throughout his life, Wolverine has used a variety of bladed weapons, most frequently daggers and, at times, swords. He has also wielded many different types of firearms throughout his careers as a soldier, a mercenary, and a spy.

o_O I'm gone overnight and the only interested party decided not to be interested?
 
Well, other than the fact that, as per usual, there is no Gambit/Rogue relationship allowed (though he can be interested in her...in Evolution he kind of acts like he's impressed by her), not much. Um... The youngest of the three Summers boys is not allowed (way too powerful). Xavier is an NPC, as is Magneto. um...other than that...*shrugs*
 
Technically, no. According to the Evolution series, ALL humans have the X Gene, it's just dormant in about 90 percent of the populace. Cain Marko, The Juggernaut, brought his out through mysticism, and became an Enhanced Mutant.
 
i was figuring on doing a character that Mesmero hypnotized to tell him about how the artifacts to release Apocalypse.

he knows alot about magic and magical artifacts. he can use magic attacks it is unknow if this is his mutant powers
 
sounds interesting. And I shall work on my second profile now

Name: Jon Verci
Alias: The Raven, Raven, The Sword of Angelfire
Powers: None
Abilities: Possesses a unique way of looking at things, as if perceiving them on a level beyond anything a normal person is capable of.
Bio: Jon has spent his entire life with two personas. One, his real world self, and the other, a digital persona known as The Raven that he uses in online games. But recent events have made his family wonder if maybe The Raven might be the real persona, and Jon the facade. He has never done anything that could be qualified as illegal, though the theft of the Raven amulet from Kitty Pryde may or may not change that.


Guess that's all I can do now till two days have passed in the RP
 
Name: William Summerfields
Aliases: Conjurer, Warlock, Spell Weaver, Spelldemon, Arcanist or Tiefling
He prefers Arcanist, Spell Weaver and Tiefling.
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Power: (Physical Mutation) His body is permanently changed into a demonic looking being, he is eight times stronger then a regular man, his body is immune to fire and all forms of heat, and he regenerates, but not at the same level as Wolverine and Sabertooth, he can temporarily summon beings imagined in his mind to reality, the summons are easily dismissed if you break his concentration and he is weakened if his eyes meet sun light.
But as he grows in strength with his powers will he discover new things, gain control of fire, adaption when he is in water, allowing him to breathe under said water. But that's a long time from now.
Abilities: Blood of Demons, William's body has the blood of an ancient race of powerful beings, the demons, this does not grant him many abilities but the few he has are useful, a great affinity for magical arts, a way to see things hidden from mortal eyes and a sixth sense that guides him, teaches him and evolves him and his mutant/magic powers.
Bio: Born in southern Arizona young William was a supernatural believer, he believed in the ancient gods, the demons, the dragons, the ghosts, the dimensions and many other things. As expected he was a very popular DM at D&D games, as he truly brought character to the story. He studied magical books and ancient scrolls in his free time when not working at the library, and has tried many times to learn magic, and he succeeded in a very tragic way.
His X-Gene awoke when he focused his magical energies through a ancient stone said to be from the pits of hell, a regular stone there, but worth its weight in gold to any magician with a bright mind. The results was... disastrous, his apartment imploded into a black hole before turning into a small mini nova, turning two blocks on fire. He survived, but no longer human looking, he panicked, and the energies flowed with his will and he found himself teleported to the soils of the British Isles, a place he had visited a dozen times in his studies of magic.
His body naked from the transformation and explosion, without money, he had to learn to survive. His sight, which had once only been dim flimmers, was now bright feys and magical glamors clear to the eye as day. He learned to use his magic to steal food and clothes, and got a specially designed robe with a hood to keep himself out of sight when he had to travel through towns or even cities. But after a week, the sun came free from the clouds that had been in the sky and the demon mutant found himself in painful agony as the sun burned his eyes like acid.
Dragging himself to shadows the demon man spent a whole day regenerating his eyes, when the night came he made sure to steal a set of sun glasses, many sunglasses. He has been alone for four months now and has learned many things about his new body and his new powers, but he misses his old life and his old family, his mother, father and two sisters (twins), but is unsure how they will react to the news of their brother and son becoming a demon. And so keeps to himself still, trying to ease up the situation as good as he can as he tries to learn how to become stronger, letting the mysteries of the arcane distract him from his worries.

He lived there for a short while until he got older he moved back to the Untied states. The Miko set him up with money and allowed him to stay at a shrine in New York in Little Tokyo.

He has meet others who could use magic and many have challenged him in a fights or they request that he tells them about information. He is over all friendly willing to help out if asked he don’t like it if a person attacks him without reasons. Which it makes him slightly distrustful of that person. The very first magic user he fought against nicknamed him the undying mage. Because no matter what he threw at him Kris would always get back up, hurt but he was still able to fight. Thus the name stuck with him. While he was in college he was approached by numerous groups. He worked with the Talamasca, the Thule Society, and the Illuminati. He keeps in contact with them and will pull jobs for them if they ask and if the pay is good.


I'll do a pic shortly

Name: Alissa
Age: Just had turned 18
Gender: Female
Power: Can see into men’s hearts, read their minds and bring them to tortuous arousal just by looking at them. Whenever she is around men they all get hard, no matter what they are thinking or doing, and when she really wants to, she can make them feel great pain in their groins with her mind tricks, making them incapable of fighting for a bit until they can get over the shock.

She is a little weak though and always has to have someone guarding her.
Bio: Had just escaped an abusive father and boy friend when she discovered her abilities and was graciously taken in by Xavier when she needed a friend the most.

Long red hair, deep blue eye, medium height and nice and slim
 
zomg! right on the money...

and tell me...will she be chacing after you for some "fun action"? :p
 
hmm...we need a couple more gals. and some of the established characters would be nice
 
I'm up for doing an established character or two. Possibly may go with Cyclops rather than my usual choice of beast. (May do both....) Hell may even do a female character as well if you want.

Also, am toying with the idea of bringing in Toads Better looking and heroic unidentical twin.

Is there a character limit?

will there be other characters that will try to steal the Raven amulet from the theif to increase there own powers.
 
Dunno yet. So far, only a handful of people understand its significance. and it won't work for just anyone. all it is is a key.
