X-Men: A Bright New World (OOC)

The artist is bringing the wheels. :D

A Jeep Cherokee Country XJ to be precise.
 
Stylish.

But -- having skimmed the dialogue in posts -- did Rahne tell David where specifically she was off to, by the way? Or shall we suggest, he saw the ticket in her possession? ;)
 
Seeing how she showed it to him, well at least that's what I thought, did I misread the last post?
 
It's not a big issue. She was looking at the ticket, while being in front of him. So he could have easily seen it. I'm not sure if she actually showed it to him though? Then again, I haven't really deeply read the posts yet either....
 
All he said was airport, not Russia. And she held up the ticket. No continuity issues here.

However, there's 4 international airports within an hour of West Chester, NY. Bradley in Hartford, and the three NYC airports. JFK, La Guardia and Newark, which is technically in New Jersey. West Chester is right on the border with CT, Bradley may be closer than Newark.
 
A couple notes.

1)It took the group about an hour-ish to get to that section of the City. Might want to up the "five minutes"...

2)Each team member is equipped with a smart phone device, per the Professor. Whether they know how to use it or not, that's another thing entirely :)

3)I don't think they will be heading to Newark, but that's me.
 
Busy, busy's.

I'll look to work on Gambit this week sometime, I hope. :)

(...and Miss "Creotia" shall be unleashing her character as well!)
 
Why is it that we get the busiest when we are the most interested in RPing? Sucks.

I'm still around!
 
Haha, sorry about that post, you have fallen victim to my slang terms. To find a park, here in Australia means to look for a parking spot, or a car park. Sorry! But it does look rather funny.
 
Aww....poor Betsy! *comfort hug*

EDIT: David and Rahne won't know the three new X-Men in Remy, Jamie, and Alison because they are brand new members. Just for your information...;)

*does one of those ninja-pops-in-out-of-nowhere move* TADA!



Name: Barbara "Bobby" Drake

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Abilities: Cryokinesis. Her power is very underdeveloped. She can lower her external and internal body temperature, and radiate intense cold from his body. She can turn standing water into ice, usually a glass of water, a bucket or a puddle. She can freeze the moisture in the air to form them into hard ice, small icy objects.

Undiscovered abilities: Bobby can reach -105 degrees Fahrenheit within few seconds and is immune to sub-zero temperatures around her. She can turn her body into ice at will. In ice form, her strength and durability are enhanced. She can reshape her ice form at will. Consequently, if her ice form is shattered, she can rebuild herself without permanent damage.

Personality: Bobby’s an adventure seeker and a joker. She grew up in a very serious environment with very serious parents. Her parents were always working and to her, they always appeared exhausted and miserable. Even though they tried to teach her the values of a good work ethic, Bobby needed and desired for more. Consequently, it pre-disposed her towards thrill-seeking tendencies and spawned her love for adventure. She was willing to take a chance on something for fun rather than go for the safe route. It was her means of expressing and entertaining herself because her family didn't have a lot of resources. Just as she wanted a good thrill, she longed for a good laugh as well. She was more than willing to be a little mischievous in doing so. This was her way of making life more exciting. She never seemed to take anything seriously.

History: Bobby was born into a working class neighborhood in Long Island, New York. Her family never had a lot of money. It was a struggle for her parents to make ends meet. Bobby’s curious and devious mentality clashed with her parents’ strong work ethic way of thinking. Moreover, they feared and disgusted by her unique powers, which she discovered in her early teen but kept it a secret from everyone except for her parents. Bobby managed to keep her power at bay and grew up as a typical outgoing girl. She taught herself a few small tricks in private. They weren’t anything more than turning a puddle of water into ice or shooting a couple of ice spikes. Her knowledge and maturity of her power was very little and untapped.

Bobby made friends in school, became a joker among her friends, and was a straight-A student. However, she carved for thrills and adventures instead of textbooks and lectures. She tried out for extreme sports like snowboarding and free-running. Everything was dandy and normal until the last month of her senior year where she and her friends sneaked onto the roof and used materials from the school gym to construct a sledding ramp. Bobby was the first to try it out, but it all went very wrong when the ramp failed and Bobby skidded into a nearby pond. At this moment her mutant powers manifested beyond her control. Her body suddenly formed a powerful ice-shell and froze the entire pond solid. Shocked and scared, Bobby tried to run back into the school. As she did, her powers only expanded and she ended up freezing a good portion of the school.

This incident caused a major panic. The police was involve and the whole neighborhood went nuts. After some coaxing from her parents, they got her to settled down. She stopped freezing everything around her. While Bobby was okay from the incident, it deeply affected her life. Her friends were too afraid to go near her and the school expelled her. The school even threatened to sue the already poor family, which would have put them in even greater peril. Thankfully, Charles Xavier came to her aid. He convinced the school to drop the charges. However, the neighborhood was still very shaken up and upset with Bobby and her mutant power. As the result, Prof X offered her a spot at the Xavier Institute. Bobby was more than eager to accept the man's offer. After tying up a few, okay one loose ends at home, she trekked her way to the School House for Gifted Children.




If it's TL: DR, here's the BLUF: she's a younger, female version of Iceman. Viola!
 
Welcome Miss "Lotus_Maiden"! I'm sure you will enjoy it here. And officially, Miss "Creotia". Thanks for joining us ladies :)

The roster has been updated, appropriately.

As for writing, I started writing Monsieur LeBeau but unfortunately have run out of time here. So I'll have to continue tomorrow. Apologies....been crazy around here!
 
Okay, all 'we' know for the group at The Brazen Fox:

1)It's about 4:30-ish pm(late afternoon)
2)The club is 'closed' to the public at the moment
3)There is a front entrance, there is a back entrance. It is a two story building.
4)Someone may have just....tripped an 'alarm'??? (unless that's his smart phone device, acting up! Hehe)

Just thought I'd mention, the aforementioned....;)
 
OK no offense intended Lach, but what is with all the full stops in your posts?

Also where is Remy now? Second floor of the club or an adjacent building?

Remec just let Madrox do the scout thing and return to the front please, I'd like the rest of the group to meet us there and then we can discuss as a team what we'd like to do.
 
My apologies "DeathsKnight", but as always. With my (Gambit) posts, I aim to tell a story....and convey emotion(s). So I usually have to do my flashbacks to do so....:)

He is on the second floor of the club.

[[Also, we can say the Club officially opens at 6pm.]]

Gotcha, will do...either immediately or after I get up (on my way to postwork nap, but thought I would pop in to check for replies first).

:cool:
 
No wonder I pay you the big bucks, "Remec" -- great post! ;)

I'll see if I can do some Russian 'writing' this weekend sometime, for the folks on the mission over there. Stay tuned. And be safe everyone!
 
Just signed the contract for a house late last night(took almost *THREE* hours!!!), come Mid-July.....I'll be a brand new home owner!! :)

Needless to say, been a bit swamped. Also, got a wedding to attend Saturday. I'll see what I got going on for Sunday and get Russia back where it needs to be....
 
WHO SAID BUYING A HOUSE WAS EASY???

*shakes his head, remembering then...that it was the Cajun who in fact had stated this**mutter* Freakin' Prince of Thieves!

....so......this week. THIS week dammit. I'm going to get back to the writing. I promise. For the love of ANYthing, I shall!
 
****UPDATE: Finally. We just closed on the house YESTERDAY! So we got moving to do this week. Capped off by a one year anniversary for the weekend!

Sorry about the hold up with the roleplay folks. But for the record? I fucking *HATE* the grueling process of buying a home. Dealing with the bank back and forth and forth and back = TERRIBLE!!!

Anyway, realistically, I'm looking at next week to get back into the swing of things. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summers!

PEACE. :)
