OOC: X-Men

[Shaq]

J.D and I were discussing options:

We finally hashed out a rough version of the sl


None of the stuff is concrete so decisions like whether wizard decides to go with Fantomex or not would affect the sl

He would pretty much have two choices. Go with Fantomex or stay at the mansion and there will be at least one person in the mansion for him to interact with.


Fantomex and Sinister now have definite agendas and OOC we'll try to explain the general description of how things fall.


Options include:

1. This may seem rude but I think insisting on disrupting the rp is rude to. Just ignore Magma's post and move on. I favor that idea because people joining the rp could kinda see where we are coming from.

2. Finish the sl then start a new thread.
-I like this idea to and it doesn't contradict one

3. Start a totally new thread with the same sl

4. Start a new thread with a new sl.

This is getting out of hand, guys and gals.

No disrespect meant but, how's an RP'er who's trying to stay true to the level of her character going to compensate?

I think dragonrazor left an immediate dangler for you (watching him get in the blackbird) and a lingering one (he touched you)

 

[Devilgrl]

I changed my post but honestly I have no idea what we are supposed to do lol...so why start a new thread just use the same one and go ERASE and the threas will clear up and shaq saw it was good

Rough Sl outline

Ok, this will contain spoilers but if anyone objects they can PM me and I'll edit it in a way that is descriptive but still packs surprises.


Phase I:

Fantomex and Deadpool battle on public television. Results in the death of some civilians. Fantomex arranges for a television crew to film this(he does not tell this to the X-Men). Abruptly stops the battle when the cameras are off and arranges a meeting with Deadpool and a mysterious unnamed stranger.

Phase II:

Fantomex arrives at Xavier's and says that Deadpool was hired by people who wanted to kill him. The television crews were planted because the attack was premeditated by the gov. and there is a movement occuring where the gov. plants operatives to incriminate mutants so they can be prosecuted. This he says happened with him. The gov. is upset because he stole a disc that revealed the gov. plans for mutants. He realized that he was on this list as well as several current and former X-Men so he came to them for help. He also mentions that he has learned the gov. has at its disposal a weapon they have never possessed before: The cloning technology of the villain named Sinister. Fantomex claims that the initiative against mutants has operatives at all levels of the gov. to hide its agenda and see it through. The mutants listed as targets must be protected and Sinister must be destroyed but a "Superhero" team is far too visible and subject to laws enforced by a mutant hating gov. A team is needed that will circumvent the law and employ any tactic, even murder and robbery, in order to stop sinister.

Note: Fantomex doesn't actually say Sinister is working with the gov. He says that the gov. stole the tech from Sinister and is dependent on his tech and research for their "plan". Fantomex separates the two as distinct targets.

He offers a choice: Go with him and stop Sinister and the gov. or lie back and accept whatever plan they have against the X-Men

Phase III

Gov. sends a message to turn over the terrorist Fantomex. Cyclops, Havok and Juggernaut want him to be turned over. Xavier secretly knows that a team of mutants working as true vigilantes can be useful much like Cable's X-Force and his own secret operatives like Mystique and Sage (Lady Tessa).

Rogue appears to agree to help Fantomex. Fantomex asks about the whereabouts regarding 2 mutants on the list (Storm wasn't asked about because he knows where she is now), Jubilee and Gambit. He says that he must find them because they are needed.

Juggernaut angrily argues with Xavier and says that he has allowed some of his team to help an admitted terrorist and villain.

Enters the control room to argue with Xavier followed by Phoenix.

Phase IV

Mysteriously, the mansion's defenses have been turned off and the Sentinels are allowed on the Xavier grounds. They declare Professor X, Phoenix and Cyclops to be under arrest on charges of aiding terrorism and treason. Fantomex appeals to Storm and Rogue to help him. He offers to pay Dead Hand a great sum to accomplish a task for him that Eva will assign him.


Gambit has been approached by Sinister and he tells him Rogue is in great danger. He promises to help Gambit and Rogue if Gambit will agree to steal something for him from Fantomex

Phase V

Unconfirmed

Group goes to meet Jubilee and eventually Gambit

Whoever stays at Xavier's learns that Juggernaut has assumed control of the school. White Queen and the rest of the acting heads of the mansion are under arrest on terrorism charges due to helping Fantomex and Juggernaut files a legal motion saying that since he is Xavier's half brother the mansion should fall in his possession. So whoever stays at the mansion will have to deal with him and the changes he makes to the school.

Fantomex asks the group to help capture a scientist that the gov. uses in its project. When he captures him a group strikes and subdues Fantomex's group and the person behind "the disc" reveals themselves and their plan for the people on this list is revealed.


So the big question now is who is staying and who is leaving?

Obviously there is more than that but that's the gist of what's planned.

Fantomex escapes with whoever chooses to go with him to find Jubilee.

I changed my post but honestly I have no idea what we are supposed to do lol...so why start a new thread just use the same one and go ERASE and the threas will clear up and shaq saw it was good

Fantomex said he needed a group to help him stop the gov. plans and go after Sinister.

So people can choose either stay at the mansion or help fantomex?


But even if you didn't know what was happening you didn't need to turn nova suddenly.

My issue with you wasn't a personal one. You described Magma as one way but you rp him as another.

Are you a gov. mole? A Sinister experiment? A Magneto disciple?

You've completely confused me because you're not clear in the slightest when you post and it doesn't appear as though you are in character or intentionally posting so strangely.


Your power levels plain and simple are ridiculous though. You are rping as someone way more powerful than they should be.

C'mon devilgirl

"I AM VULCAN THE GOD!!!"


Please tell me cause I don't understand, why did you make that post?

Are you a mutant or a god? Do you have alpha level powers (which I stated and you agreed to) or cosmic level?

Cosmic level (ie: unbeatable) characters suck cause they are no fun to interact with. If there is a conflict and a character is unbeatable what fun is there?


You don't have to do it but I would honestly recommend you get a new character because your vision of Magma is warped.

If you want an original character just follow J.D's advice

1 power that can be used in 2 or 3 ways
1 weakness that results from the power

Wizard

First I'll say that I really do like Wizard's character.


My only concern though is how he's being played. I'm worried that his power levels and portrayal aren't quite fitting how he was stated to be.


Like if he carries a book that he needs to produce magic spells, then the complaint I made about Magma should hold to him to.

It's like Gambit, he has a cool power but he has a "charge" time, where he can't just unleash his power immeidiately.

I would suggest Wizard should have to actually read his spells to get them to work.

Like literally, spend time arranging the book, organizing it like an encyclopedia and then when Wizard wants to use a spell he has to look it up, turn to the right page, make sure he's got the right words then read them and pronouce.

So this way Wizard would maintain his powers but the weakness would be he can't just fire them off instantly. He needs time to be able to execute them.

But the other problem is the power levels. An endless and undefined supply of spells makes him close to a cosmic level character.


If anyone does anything then Wizard can just pull out an anti- whatever spell.

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Speaking as an Omega level. (Juggernaut) and a Beta (Deadpool). Balance is sometimes hard. Juggs is almost unbeatable, but the X-men can do it. Heck Storm, Iceman, and Jean can do it. Wolvie, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Jean too. And most any Teep can replace Jean. Psylocke can almost do it herself nowadays.

I have my post detailing what has happened to Juggs and the left behinds. By no means is the fight over. Sentinels have left, but only the ones who heard him. There should be at least the delta's and the troopers present.

So fight on if you like. Juggs will be calling the avengers and Holden Halliway in the morning.

gots to get the Ex on the case of bringing me cash money.

In a totally unrelated but pertinent comment only because the geek in me demands that I speak I would argue that if Juggernaut were a mutant he would not classify as omega level.

I think if Juggs were a mutant he would easily be a top 10 most powerful ever if you factor in his resistance to psi attacks but the underlying theme of omega level mutants is potential for power even more so than the production.

That's why even though Juggs is more powerful than Iceman, Iceman would be omega level based on his potential.

Heck, Avalanche and Banshee could probably beat Iceman in a fight.

I'd say that Juggs was a beta in terms of power description but no doubt his power levels in terms of strength and invulnerability (and he's underrated in the intelligence category) is off the charts.

I bet Juggernaut could move the blob and outpunch the Hulk.

Jubilee Bio

BTW ~ if anyone wonders why they are gonna meet Jubilee ...
That would be me ... Once I get my act together ...


Full Name: Jubilation Lee
Code Name: Jubilee
Occupation: Student, adventurer; former street performer

Age: 25
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Height: 5'5"
Race: Chinese-American

Family: (Orphaned. No known living blood relatives.)
Male influence/Father figure - Wolverine
Female influence - Jean Grey
Skills: Superb gymnasts, better than average hand to hand combat.

Powers:
Able to produce plasma type pyrotechnics from her fingers to the point of them just being “Sparkly Lights” or have a kick to blow out a wall. (The latter is usually done when she is very emotional.)

Scientific Terms - Articulate quasi-animate transitory plasmoids.
(They go where she wants and explode on command.)

Personality:
Orphaned and forced to survive by herself for a time, Jubilee is a streetwise, smart mouthed ex-Mallrat. Jubilee has had more than her fair share of problems in life and her defense mechanism is her don't care, happy-go-lucky, look out for #1 attitude. This tough exterior hides a sensitive soul, which cares more for the people around her than Jubilee will ever let on. The 'tude is her trademark, and only those closest to her can see past it.

Additional:
A natural warrior. Possessed of a natural fighting instinct and the guts to back it up. If she doesn't find trouble it will find her. Performs best under pressure but may crack when crisis is past. Shows potential as a budding strategist.

Background:
Yep this is an older & a bit different Jub than you know. At age 18, Jub had met Kyle (aka Wraith) on his first day the grounds. He started of on the wrong foot with Logan & she made his bad start at the mansion brighter. They eventually became inseparable.

Over the years she learns that he is the consort to the ruler of the Shadow Plane. The Demi-Goddess finds her amusing lil pet toy that her consort keeps & is no hurry to claim him just yet. This caused the first rift between the two lovers.

Jub eventually strikes a small compromise with Llandra (or “Queen Bitch” as she likes to call her), after both her & Wraith find out how long his lifespan really is. The deal is that she dibs on Kyle for as long as she is around & the Goddess gets him after that time period.

Currently:
Jub is in the Shadows with Kyle, being away at a training school is a cover for those who would not comprehend other dimensional planes. They are due to come back by way of Germany.

This is a combined bio from two previous Mavel/X-Men threads ...

 

[Arc da Rat]

Kyle / Wraith Bio (NPC)

Brief Bio of Wraith: (NPC)
Name: Kyle Greystone (28 years old)

Physical description:
(Human form): 6’2” 220 lbs Blonde Hair, slightly luminescent lavender eyes.
(Hero Form): Black organic armor covers his entire body, ending in a crown of horns around his head. There are no mouth or nose-holes, and his entire eyes glow a lavender color. (Basically, He looks very close to what Top Cow’s Darkness character looks like)

Powers: Almost all of Wraith’s powers are based on Darkness and shadow.

Vulnerabilities:
Most of Wraiths powers are lessened or do not work in bright light or sunlight. Also, all of his powers except for his life support powers (aging, etc.) shut down completely if he is standing on Holy Ground.

He takes increased damage to his vision from light-based attacks, and bright light bothers him in human and hero form. Attacks based on light (not energy) do more damage to him than other attacks. Wraith is a mutant and is detectable as such by beings that can detect him as one.

This is a brief Bio so you would know who is he & what he looks like. If you need more info please ask.

Yo devilgrl, how come when you post on the jedi thread your posts are coherent but when you post in the X thread I can't understand wtf you're saying????

 

[Arc da Rat]

I just think her character Magma is just a lil bit hyper (?) ... So it just posts that way ...

Not that I am saying its a bad thing ... Just an observation ...

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

y'all want me to bring in Wraith????

eventually, he'll be able to perform the spells without the book...right now, the book acts as an organization

 

[Shaq]

When he begins to perform spells without the book is the concern though.


Did you catch that Joey Q interview on newsarama when he talked about like 40 characters who don't have books and he mentioned why they failed in the past?

For Dr. Strange he said the main reason is he's never in danger. He can just fire off a spell for any event that comes up. Wizard worries me because his magic powers are so illdefined he can do a little too much.

 

[dragonrazor]

agreed, actually....he does need some work....i plan on having him tortured to neardeath while Rogue watches if she agrees >>

also, the spellbook works the same way as Raistlin's in Dragonlance...he has to memorize the spells, but upon casting them, they vanish from his memory

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

your getting him married & Rogue's moving in??????

 

[dragonrazor]

your getting him married & Rogue's moving in??????

LMAO...not quite

 

[Vixandra]

*snorts*
Not hardly.


Learned more about Rogue's character and that'll come into play.
Remember, she thinks her powers might be on the fritz again, at least her born-with ones. The 'aquired' ones seem to be working fine.

 

[dragonrazor]

heh heh...where is everyone?

 

[Shaq]

I'm willing to edit my post

if you wonder how Fantomex would know what Wizard is doing.

Technically, he doesn't know what Wizard is doing he just knows something is wrong. Alex was ordered to fly the blackbird to give he and Eva air cover. The sentinels were going to not harm alex but fight him for a specific reason.

But Eva has told Fantomex that the blackbird never left so he knows something is wrong. He doesn't know if Alex himself stopped because he learned of what happened to the senior X-Men or if someone figured out what happened but he knows that Wizard was the first to leave, Rogue followed him, and they have not come back since.

At first I asked Storm to lead me to the others (I don't know the layout of the mansion) but when she didn't post I decided to take a more proactive stance

I only need one of you and I have the information that I need. I'm heading to Germany, I'm still not sure if Jubilee is there or not but I'll go there to look for her and to make a little biological weapon test

Ithica, its up to you to decide what happens.

 

[dragonrazor]

Wizard plans on hijacking the blackbird << his purpose is to prevent the apocalypse, which would technically destroy not only the mutants, but humankind as well.

i'm going with the concept that Sinister is the SOURCE of mutation, that he's been mutating people for hundreds of years

 

[Arc da Rat]

y'all want me to bring in Wraith????

Hmm ... I was wondering when you would show up here ... *Smirks*

I am just using him as a plot reference ...
