I've been wondering this myself. From the intro I wasn't totally sure if this would be taking place during the 60's, this year, or somewhere inbetween.

Sorry for not responding. I've altered my bio on the First Page.

This is taking place in now, 2014

[Paingodsson]

Full name: Caleb Idlett

Codename: Banshee

From: Portland, Oregon

age: 20

Appearance:

Powers: Manipulation of sound and sound waves: His powers allow him to create shockwaves from sounds that he makes, including with his hands and feet. This also helps him as he can use that to add an extra "hit" to his punch. He also has the ability to silence sound (not very well at the moment), and gather it and release it all at once. He can silence someone else or their movement, however he cannot do it more than a couple of seconds before he is absolutely worn out.

Pros: Knows wing-chun,
athleticism,
Caleb also was a basketball player and has been seen to be able to thrive in high pressure or tense situations.
Is very easy going and loving to most people.

Cons: The shockwaves have a limited range
Very loyal to the point of ignorance
May act off of impulse control.
Has Tourettes Syndrome in which can cause him to make a noise, or flinch when he doesn't want to. This also applies to his powers as he sometimes releases a little shockwave when and if his tourettes go off.(Same as pros but the opposite, anything that can prove to be a hindrance to them in missions)
Also because of his tourettes he can end up being very tired from shaking all night in bed, or from having a stressful day with them, causing him to make wrong decisions.

Brief Bio: Caleb was born to regular parents who always loved him and tried to do their best for him. But at the same time, the best for him would have probably been them not fighting and arguing so much. Caleb just enjoyed the quiet and being apart of things, but in his family you had to be loud to be heard. Later on Caleb learned he had tourettes, this became a problem in his school as he started to get picked on. That is until he got tired of it and used the Wing Chun he was taught to break a few kid's noses. So then Caleb started to be a bully until he was deserted by his "friends" for the next star basketball player. Luckily for him the people he had bullied were gracious people and showed love and compassion for him. So he stopped being a bully and started being a more friendly guy. Of course he had to eventually play the other star player one on one, but when he did, he dominated him.
Caleb also always tries to be an optimist but at times can be a pessimist especially when he has had a very stressful day.He hates to be alone though. Caleb got his powers around his freshman year at college. Where he found his girlfriend cheating on him with his supposed best friend. Absolutely outraged he couldn't say anything but run off into the woods. It was there where he felt pressure inside him, he figured it was anger as he punched the ground, until he yelled, and when he yelled he had caused multiple trees to fall over. Caleb now scared and upset tried to hide it. Only letting a couple people know what had happened. But as the days progressed everything caused his tourettes to go haywire. Until one day in the Cafeteria his tourettes caused him to make a yelping noise that sent a shockwave knocking tables and chairs over. Embarrassed and scared he ran off. He hid in his usual hiding spot when his Girlfriend (who he had not yet broken up with) came over to him. She tried to come to comfort him but only made him react worse. He couldn't help but run from her now, he was heart broken. While running he ran into a man known as Professor Xavier who offered for him to join his ranks of X-men.
(Side note) By the way he loves Basketball, no seriously, and he's good at it..

Powers
Gambit has limited Kinetic Energy Manipulation abilities:

• Kinetic Charging - Gambit is a mutant who has the ability to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to pure light pink-colored kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with highly explosive results. She prefers to charge smaller objects, such as her ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for her to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object: the larger it is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of her explosions is dependent on the mass of the object she is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade.


• Gambit's ability to tap kinetic energy also grants her incredible superhuman physical abilities (strength, speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance), as her body constantly generates bio-kinetic energy and so is perfectly constructed for constant motion. This gives her an added edge that she has used to her advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style.


• She also has the ability to create static, because of the charged potential energy always in her body, that shields her mind from detection and intrusion by even the strongest and most powerful telepaths (such as Charles Xavier). The shield has the added effect of destabilizing touch-based abilities.

Pros

• As stated above, Remi's physical abilities (speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance) have been increased to just beyond peak human ability. Her strength has also increased, but is not superhuman by any means. Remi can lift up to roughly 250 lbs.


• Gambit has been stealing things all her life. When it comes to pick pocketing, sleight of hand, lockpicking, hiding in the shadows, and burglary Remi has few equals.


• Remi always carries no less than 2 decks of playing cards, and often has her lockpicking tools with her.


• She is quite the marksman at throwing cards and other small objects whether they're kinetically charged or not.


• Remi is an excellent player of card games, especially poker.


• Remi is bilingual, speaking both English and Creole (though her player does not & will be using Google Translate).

Cons

• She hates cold weather.


• Remi has a criminal record (mainly from her activities from her childhood & early teenage years) and therefore is in the system.


• Due to the death of Bella Donna Remi is currently exiled from the city of New Orleans. Running into members of Thieves' Guild whether in New Orleans or not may or may not have negative consequences. While running into members of the Assassins' Guild, especially the Boudreaux family, will most definitely have dire consequences for Remi.


• Remi is still legally married to Julien Boudreaux of the Assassins' Guild.


• Remi has trust/loyalty issues. Up until this point in time she has only been truly loyal to the LeBeau family, Julien Boudreaux (until the death of Bella Donna), and herself. In every other relationship she has betrayed or been betrayed by the other person(s).


• She would rather flee than fight, so if given the opportunity she'll do just that as long as others aren't placed in danger.

Brief Bio
The girl who would become called Remi LeBeau grew up on the streets of New Orleans under the care of Fagan's Mob, a gang of street thieves who raised the child. This, of course is where she would learn the ways of thievery. After living as an orphan on the streets, a 10-year-old Remi attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, a master thief in his own right. Jean-Luc took the girl off the streets and adopted her into his own family. As a LeBeau Remi's thievery schooling went to the next level.

Remi's mutant abilities kicked in around 13 years old. She kept this a secret from her family, practicing in private when ever she could.

Jean-Luc was not only the patriarch of the LeBeau family, but also the head of a criminal organization known as the Thieves' Guild. When she was 15, Remi accompanied her cousin Etienne Marceaux on his "Tithing", the ritual initiation test of the Thieves' Guild. But, the initiation went very wrong with Remi and Etienne having to defend themselves against a couple of mutants. During their escape the two cousins had to dive from a cliff side into the sea below. Remi was ultimately saved by the Guild. Etienne drowned.

A year later, Remi would successfully pass her own Tithing. As an official member of the Guild Remi not accompanied other thieves on jobs, but was allowed to bring to the Guild and accept her own missions.

After coming of age and in an attempt to reconcile the Thieves' Guild with its rival criminal family, the Assassins' Guild, Remi married Julien Boudreaux, grandson of the head Assassin, whom she met at the age of eight. Unfortunately, she was challenged by his sister, Bella Donna, to a duel after the wedding. In the duel, Gambit killed Bella Donna, and she was exiled from the city, ending her romantic relationship with Julien.

(The GM is more than welcome to PM me with ideas to add to Gambit's history [such as her possible involvement with Candra, Pig, and Dr. Essex] and to have that history come back to haunt her & her teammates in present time.)

[DrewVonAwesome]

Full name: Andrew Lee (Also answers to Cody Robbins sometimes)
Codename: Rogue
From: Columbia, Mississippi
Appearance:
Powers:
Power absorption: With bare skin to skin contact with someone, Rogue is able to absorb the victim’s memories, personality traits, physical skills, and most importantly physical powers. All while giving the victim a biophysical shock. Prolonged contact with someone can cause them more and more harm, up to being paralysed and or killed.
Cody Robbins’ powers: After getting into a fight with someone else who also had mutant powers. Rogue physically touched him long enough through trying to choke him to death, that he ended up permanently taking Cody’s powers. Allowing him to fly, being superhuman strong up to 50 tons, and superhuman endurance and durability.
Pros: + Powerful mutant who can fly
+ Trained in hand to hand combat and is a strong combatant
+ Very polite and kind to anyone
+ Open about his homosexuality and is looked at as a hero by some of the young students at the academy as a role model as they’re gay as well.
Cons:- Cannot have any physical contact with someone as he has no real control over his powers.
- Has sometimes fallen into a case of double identity with Cody Robbins. Who was a cruel jock. Meaning Rogue becomes very rude and mean to people, believing in his own greatness. When he snaps out of it, Andrew has no knowledge about it.
Brief bio: Born as an only child Andrew was a natural in life. Both handsome and naturally athletic. Andrew grew up getting awards and honors in numerous sports. The biggest being football where he was a quarterback. Andrew had it all, loving parents, and a bright future.

As he grew up Andrew made like a good Southern boy and attended church. But as he grew older the trip made every Sunday became harder and harder. Andrew began to develop feelings he couldn’t explain, seeing his male teammates in tight uniforms, muscles… Andrew needed time to realize he was gay finally. Making church where the pastor talked about homosexuality as a sin, and his team would constantly make homophobic jokes and comments in the locker room. The worst offender being a young man named Cody Robbins. Who not only was both homophobic, but infinitely jealous of Andrew and his success.

When Andrew asked his school’s counselor for help about his homosexuality, word eventually got back to Cody. Who cornered Andrew about it after football practice. He promised he’d reveal Andrew’s secret, tormenting him about it. Finally all the pressure became too much. Andrew attacked Cody and in that moment Andrew’s powers manifested. Andrew wrapped his hands around Cody’s throat and choked him. Slowly Cody’s body lost its color, his eyes rolled into his head, and finally Andrew thought he was dead, all the strain on Andrew at that moment causing his hair to develop its unique tiff of white in its otherwise brown color.

Going on the run Andrew escaped his hometown with nothing much except a bag of clothes. He hitchhiked across the country, eventually realizing not only did he have the power to drain people taking their powers and memories. But Cody himself was a super powerful mutant who was using his powers to be a top football player. Eventually Xavier found him, and convinced him to join the X-Men. Finding out Cody has been in a coma since the incident, Andrew has been very careful about his powers. But keeping the same warm personality he had. Now a prominent member of the X-Men, Andrew been finding himself making eye contact with that really big but nice guy Fred….

Full name: Fred Dukes
Codename: Blob
From: Newark, New Jersey
Appearance:
Powers:
Girth: The first, not to mention most notable, feature about Blob is his sheer size and mass. Standing at 7’2 Fred weigh in at an amazing 1,650 pounds. It all came from his mutant abilities and started when he was young. Even though his so massive Fred can move at a decent speed.
Nothing Moves The Blob: Dukes’ main ability is the control of the gravity around him, meaning that he has the mental will to increase the gravity at a short radius that extends 5 feet at most. Due to this ability, even the strongest individuals within the Marvel Universe have difficulties moving Dukes. This on top of Fred’s weight makes him a hard person to move.
Strength: Able to lift up to 75 tons
Mass protection: Because of the thick strong nature of his skin, as well as his body containing so much fat. Projectiles at a certain power are rendered harmless if they hit him. His body can capture the projectile also and launch it back at half speed. He can also hold said thing inside of himself for a bit. Including one time a student of the academy who foolishly tried to fight him.

Pros: + Easily one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men
+ Incredibly durable and able to take a beating
+ Very kind hearted and friendly
Cons: - Even though his mobile for such a large man, Blob is still the slowest member of the X-Men
- Even though his kind, Blob is somewhat ignorant
- His weight can be a sore point for him personally, making him very angry if people make fun of his weight

Brief bio: Born into a family of three Fred was a unique child all his own. He was overweight the moment he was born and never seemingly got better. His family was a group of fit and happy people, something that Fred didn’t fit into at all. While his parents tried to make him feel okay about his weight, he still knew they weren’t happy about it. Worst yet his brothers both teased him all the time, even having other kids in school make him of him.

Fred grew bigger and bigger as he aged, eventually getting the attention of his school’s football teams. Playing linebacker for a few years Fred eventually met one of his only friends in Mort. Mort was brought onto the team after kicking a rock almost countless yards into some guy’s car. The two got along because of their feelings about their homelife. Though Fred will always admit Mort had it way worse.

One night after Mort killed a guy at a party, Fred was set to try and find him before the cops could when Charles Xavier found him. By this time Fred had ballooned to incredible sizes, to the point where his own family feared for his life, and his brothers were scared he’d sit on them and kill them. Xavier helped Fred find Mort and convince him to join the both of them at the Academy and the X-Men.

The both of them have trained and finally earned their positions on the team. Fred himself getting a special room on the first floor of the academy due to his enormous weight. Still a close pair of friends with Mort, Fred has started to feel himself making eyes at fellow teammate Andrew Lee aka Rogue. Giving him conflicted feelings he hasn’t had before.

The Google Translate part made me laugh more than it should have.

[Shard]

A lot of interesting characters ^^. And I belive this is the first time I have been in an RP with three gay characters, including my own XD

[knighthawk]

hehe toad is still taller than blob. I'm seeing their own variation of the fastball special, Toad jumps into blobs gut and gets shotgunned out into the enemy.

[Hagura]

I feel as if my cs is underwhelming.

You could add some pros, cons and personality.

I feel as if the description was enough. But sure I could that.

[Divine Darkness]

Hagura said While external/environmental effects can affect users, they can simply take a form more adapted to the dangers and thus ignore most dangers or simply reform themselves.

User cannot bestow themselves abilities but limitless Shapeshifting can mimic many such effects. Skilled users can notably access temporary empowering abilities, such as Super Form and Transformation, but not permanent ones, like Evolution, which requires stability.

Any power that starts with "omni-" has the potential to make character over-powered/near invulnerable. Like Shard suggested, I would definitely consider giving your character some cons/weaknesses so your character actually appears mortal.
