[PapaOso]

@webboysurf ACCEPTED!!!! He's awesome lol. Go ahead and move to the character tab.

Lovely Morning this, started the day with the summons to war when our Lacy Dogs caught a small pack of coyotes near the stables.

Next was the owner of one of our boarded horses who brought an open top cattle trailer to take their horse to California. Now the horse is clearly theirs but we have rules on any horse transported off the property and an open top trailer is a violation (Dressage and hunter horses are know for their ability to jump and an open top trailer is an invitation to disaster.) so a 3 hour argument ensued, police were called on yours truly.

They tried to have me arrested for enforcing the contract they signed.

Now I am calm and pop in to see what a total muck-up you've all made of the OOC; heads must roll

@RumikoOhara

Uuuuuhhhh holy shit lol.

[PapaOso]

The IC shall begin today!!!!! I'll post it as soon as I get time to sit down and...write it lol.

[RumikoOhara]

Part of my job, what makes it fun is when my boss the ranch owner shows up; she's a retired AG assistant.

[webboysurf]

@RumikoOhara Your life does not sound boring by any means, at the very least.

Drake

Name: Drake Edwards
Nicknames/Aliases: "D"
X-Men Code Name: Devilsbane

Gender: Male
Age: 22
Physical Description:
6'1"
Fit frame with broad shoulders
Two different colors eyes - one blue and one red, a mutation called heterochromia
Dark hair, beard
Various tattoos on his arms and back.
Dresses fairly casually. Usually in blue jeans, a dark t-shirt, leather jacket, boots and often sunglasses to hide his eyes.

Mutations: His mutation is going to be in stages. Right now, he knows he can't be burnt by flame. Eventually he's going to realize he has Pyrokinesis. Finally, I want the stages of the mutation to end with him transforming into a demon-looking creature (triggered by anger or stress similar to The Hulk) that can command fire.

His powers are primarily fire-based. He cannot burn, he can control fire, and he can project fire. Once he achieves full mutation, his second form just adds a bit of strength and resilience at the cost of willpower.

Personality: Often sarcastic, analytical and initially more comfortable solo than in a group. It takes some effort to earn Drake's trust, but once you do, you've got a friend for life. Very loyal, willing to go to great lengths to keep his friends and family safe.

Background: Drake grew up in a normal environment. He was born to fairly normal parents in Texas and has a twin brother, Shawn, who still lives there. Shawn was definitely the favorite in the family and an overachiever to boot. His twin brother is on the fast track to achieving his dream of getting a PhD while Drake has always felt more comfortable with a wrench in his hand. While there was no real hard feelings between the brothers, Drake was tired of his parents' constant reminders of his brother's successes while Drake barely graduated high school and didn't even bother applying to colleges. To get out from under his brother's shadow, Drake moved out of Texas and tried to start over elsewhere, becoming a bit of a nomad in search of a purpose.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Drake is not aware of the full potential he possesses. One day while working as a mechanic at a small mom and pop shop, Drake received a new welding tank from the shop owners' vendor. A client had come in requested that a new muffler be welded onto his truck. Drake ignited the torch and suddenly the tank exploded. The shop went up in flames and engulfed Drake's body. Initially in shock and screaming out of instinct, it wasn't long before Drake realized he wasn't actually hurting. In disbelief and panic, he ran through the flames and out to the street, slapping at the scorched remains of his clothes to pat out the fire. Firefighters were soon on the scene and emergency medical personnel pulled Drake toward their ambulance and tried to screen him for injuries. To the shock of everyone, there were none. Other than Drake's clothes, he suffered no burns at all despite being in the heart of the explosion. It was obvious to him and his onlookers that something wasn't right. Drake was not normal. With a look of fear and shame, Drake shoved passed EMS and took off running down the street toward the parking lot where he left his motorcycle. It was time to fill a backpack with what little he owned and move again...

Sidenote: After I wrote out this CS, I noticed that Nik has a similar, but not identical power set. This might play out well together, or it may cause unnecessary redundancy. If this CS needs to change, that's no problem. I can certainly make some major tweaks.

[PapaOso]

@Draven Accepted :D. You can move him to the character tab!
