If you had read this thread you wouldn't have asked.

[The Roman07]

I was gonna read it... eventually lol

[Paingodsson]

mind if I weigh in here? I agree with KnightHawk, it'll make things easier with Collab posts, Posting order i feel may restrict a bit more, I like maybe the idea of waiting every 3 or 4 posts before posting again. How's that sound?

[The Roman07]

okay after reading everything (thanks revans lol) Id like to make A cs based on nightstalker. You said no original characters so I'm just going to slightly alter Nightstalker :)

This.

[Shard]

Is there an ETA on when we'll start?

[Heathen]

Are all the sheets approved or are you still evaluating them? A while back you said you were going to look through them thoroughly which is why I'm asking :p

[DrewVonAwesome]

I'll look through the sheets tonight or tomorrow, since doing it through a tiny iPhone screen is a pain. So in the meantime the deadline for any profiles is tomorrow at 7pm est us time.

[Revans Exile]

Changed my mind, not doing Jean Grey.

Going with X-23 aka Laura Kinney instead.

Eh, considering this is at the beginning might I suggest jean anyways? Bringing x-23 in right at the start even considering Woverine's history seems weird.

What would I do about her telepathy powers? What if I wanted to have Jean read a person's mind? Should I wait for a player to respond to request? Do it without permission?

[DrewVonAwesome]

Well how often would she read a teammate's mind without them knowing about it?

[Gravislayer]

Yeah it´s easily achieved with collabs or "conversations" and well if you feel uneasy with her right off the start just choose someone else. I also do not choose characters which i know i can not handle and someone with telepathic powers is really hard to play when it comes to player based actions.

That mentioned i feel like a huge gap between the OC´s and the Non-Oc´s here. I know most here probably copied the powers from the wiki but considering the power bases always switch from lore to lore i would decide for one.

Let´s take Rouge, in many lores it´s stated that she can only temporally gains character´s powers but keeps parts of their memory, all based on how long she keeps in touch with them. If you look at the cartoons, there she even gains permanent super strength from touching Juggernaut.
Here she/he can permanently fly and has super power which goes from lifting 50.000 kg or rather 100. K pounds.... a simple touch would then break a human´s body. The Juggernaut, the Hulk...they maybe could achieve such huge and brute strength but rouge?
The same is with Blob...i know he his strong but then he suddenly can lift a whole house? A Car weights around 1,700kg and well regarding to that Blob could lift 75 tons...it would mean that he can lift around 40 cars at the same time....which is equal tot he size of a big house....

And then for the Wolverine~ He´s not immune to psyonic attacks, it is just hard to penetrate his thick adamantium skull. Mysterio, Jean (as the dark Pheonix), Charles Xavier and many many others already managed to penetrate and to shut of Wolverine´s mind. Infact it is his only weakness besides the fact that he can not swim lol~

Furthermore Wolverine might be a tactican but he is not rather intelligent or using this ability to his full extend. Keep in mind that he lost most of his memories to the past and so often forgets what he onced got thaught and even if reminding it...the brain capacity of a human is limited (Look at the leader who literary blew his own mind)
Sure Wolverine is one of the best mutants and so one of the most famous ones but sadly only few writers can really give a good image of him, either he´s getting a wild, barbaric animal or a short midget who is growling and snarling. In my taste the best image of him is in "Old man Logan", it shows both his strength and weaknesses and also the way how to break Wolverine finally Besides tying him up with enchanted steel-chains and drowning him in a ocean or suffocating him and burrying him under tons of cement while he is out~

[DrewVonAwesome]

Well for my characters and in defense with Rogue I was giving him the ms marvel based powers like the original Rogue had in the 90's cartoon and however long in the comics after draining Carol Danvers. So yeah she maybe isn't quite THAT strong but I was just trying to get the profiles done. If I need to go back to fine tooth comb through it and figure on his strength levels I will. But really it's all more about what happens in the rp itself. Blob yeah he might be overrated strength wise but same thing...

[Gravislayer]

Yeah but she actually never lifted 50 tons in the cartoons either, she maximally threw colossus around or bitch slapped Magneto through a hall~
Bolb as well could smash a whole car to pieces but never lifted a whole house~ They once stated in the series how strong they could be but really lifting over 50 tons..... you know the really big trucks? Those trucks which are making you feel like a tiny puny bug? Those are having 40 tons weight when fully loaded with bricks.

Not everybody is playing on the same team.

What if I made Jean a member of Magneto's team and she wanted to read a member of the X-Men's team?

[Shard]

We could try to just play with the powers as they are, and if they end up too powerful, we could tone it down a bit.

[Revans Exile]

Here is X-23, she is related to Wolverine as in how your granduncle who was born in 1890 is related to you. Not a clone, not Wolverine's daughter, just a very distant cousin.

Full name: Laura Kinney

Codename: X-23

From: Canada

Appearance: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/24800000/X-23-x-men-24806377-500-758.jpg

Powers:
Superhumanly Acute Senses: X-23 possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. She can see at far greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. She retains this same level of clarity even in near total darkness. her hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing her to detect sounds ordinary humans couldn't hear at a greater distances, enough to hear a teardrop in another room that have thick walls with enough focus. She is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. She can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success. X-23 can also use her keen sense of smell to detect lies due to chemical changes within a person's scent. These senses stem from, at least partially, her constant cellular regeneration, as are her enhanced physical capabilities.

Insulated Weather Adaptation: X-23's body is highly resistant to certain elemental extremes, particularly cold, to the extent that she can sleep nude in subarctic conditions with no apparent injury.

Animal Empathy: X-23 has the ability to sense the emotional state of animals on a basic level such as fear, anger, happiness or pain. She can even communicate with them to make the animal aware of her actions and or her intent.

Bone Claws: X-23's skeleton includes six retractable 12-inch long bone claws, two in each arm and one in each foot, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of her forearms. X-23 can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through her skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by her healing factor. X-23 can unsheathe any number of her claws at once, although she must keep her wrists straight at the moment her claws pass from her forearms into her hands. When unsheathed, the claws are entirely within her hands, allowing her to bend her wrists when they are extended. The claws are made of bone, unlike the claws of normal mammals which are made of keratin, they are sharp and dense enough to slice through substances as durable as most metals, wood, and stone.

Regenerative Healing Factor: X-23's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables her to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. She can regenerate greatly damaged or destroyed tissue with few seconds. X-23's accelerated healing powers have been commonly referred to as her mutant healing factor. The full extent and speed of X-23's healing factor isn't known. She has been shown to fully heal from numerous gunshot wounds, severe burns covering most of her body, and regenerate missing eyes within a matter of seconds. Among the more extreme depictions of her accelerated healing factor involves her having her skin, muscles, and internal organs incinerated from her skeleton only to fully regenerate the tissue within minutes. Adamantium plays a crucial role in the speed of X-23's healing as well because of the fact that it produces a poison that her immune system fights off regularly. It is said that without the Adamantium, her healing rate increases. This power even amends psychological wounds inflicted as a result of traumatic experiences. However, X-23's healing powers force her mind to suppress the memories, sometimes resulting in amnesia.

* Foreign Chemical Immunity: X-23's natural healing also affords her virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses. For example, it is extremely difficult for her to become intoxicated from alcohol.

* Immunity to Disease: X-23's highly efficient immune system, which is part of her accelerated healing factor, renders her immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections.

* Delayed Aging: In addition, X-23's healing factor provides her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. X-23 was born sometime during the late 19th Century, although well over 100 years of age, X-23 retains the health, appearance and physical vitality of a man in the physical prime of her life.

* Psionic Resistance: Due to a combination of her healing factor, X-23's mind is resistant to telepathic assault and probing.

* Superhuman Strength: X-23's mutant healing factor enables her to push her muscles beyond the natural limits of the human body without injury, granting her some degree of superhuman strength. Her natural strength is augmented by the demand placed on her musculature due to the presence of over 50kg/100 pounds of Adamantium bonded to her skeleton, which also removes the natural limitations of the human skeletal structure by allowing her to lift weights that would damage a human skeleton. X-23 has been depicted with sufficient strength to break steel chains, and support the weight of a dozen men with one arm. X-23's strength is enough to allow her to press just about 2 tons.

* Superhuman Stamina: X-23's mutant healing factor grants her high immunity against lactic acid and other fatigue toxins generated by her muscles during physical activity. X-23 can sustain herself at peak capacity for several days. Her lung capacity is at peak human level enabling her to hold breath for 6 minutes under water, making her lungs as healthy as human's lungs can get. And when her lungs stop working, she can maintain her life by continuous respiration (It can only maintain her basic life activities).

* Superhuman Durability: X-23 possesses superhuman durability. This is mostly because of her healing abilities and Adamantium Skeleton, which redistributes the force of blows dealt against. However, even without her Adamantium Skeleton, X-23 does display a degree of superhuman durability. For example, she was hit by a jeep, and was unharmed. This is partially due to the fact that her skeleton, even without the Adamantium metal, is superhumanly durable.

* Superhuman Speed: X-23 is able to move at low level superhuman speeds. She can attack faster than the eye could follow. Her combat speed seems more enhanced than anything else, and blitzed people before they pull their trigger fingers.

* Superhuman Agility: X-23's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels far beyond the natural physical limits and capabilities of the finest human specimen. X-23's agility is sufficient to allow her to dodge multiple bullets, other times, able to jump extremely high and evade several yards.

* Superhuman Reflexes: X-23's reflexes are similarly enhanced, they are also superior to those possessed by the finest human specimen and are equal to the likes of Captain America due to her superhumanly acute senses, although most of the time she relies highly on her regenerative healing factor.

Pros:

All her mutant powers

Expert Covert Ops Training: Raised in captivity, due to her extensive training as a top-secret operative, X-23 has been trained to become a living weapon. She is highly trained in the use of long range weapons and explosives, and is an expert in assassination techniques.

Expert Tracker: Due to her enhanced sense of smell, Laura is a dangerous tracker and has memorized many different scents.

Master Martial Artist: She is a master in hand to hand combatant, with intensive training in numerous armed and unarmed martial arts techniques do to her raise in the facility.

Master Acrobat: She is an Olympic class athlete, gymnast, acrobat and aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats.

Multilingual: Laura can speak fluent American English, French, and Japanese. She might be able to speak other languages.

Gifted Intellect: She possesses the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations.

Cons:

Vulnerable Senses: her heightened senses can be taken advantage of.

Decapitation/Severe Spinal Damage: Professor X once stated that X-23 could be killed if her head becomes separated from her body, causing her brain the inability to send signals to the section(s) of her body that needs healing. But because of the addition of her Adamantium-laced skeleton, the idea seems very unlikely.

Adamantium Poisoning: Adamantium has proven to secrete poison which stunts X-23's healing factor and feral rage by a very small degree. Even though she has it laced throughout her entire body it has not made a significant change in her abilities. However, the poisoning will endanger X-23's life if her healing factor fails on her.

Adamantium Allotropes: Adamantium has thirteen different allotropes (variants) that are very unstable compared to Adamantium because of their different molecular configurations and thus physical properties. Some have caused X-23 to become dizzy or weak just by being in close contact with these Adamantium specimens.

Reduced Buoyancy: The addition of nearly 100 pounds of Adamantium to her body makes it more difficult for X-23 to swim.

Induced Berserker Rage: She has also been subjected to conditioning in which a specific "trigger scent" has been used to send her into a berserker rage, killing anything in sight.

Brief bio: The grounds keeper that fathered James Howlett also had another child, this child would go on to have his own family. As time passess more children would be born, they would have children, eventually resulting in the birth of Sarah Kinney, a renowned geneticist who was recruited into the Weapon X project. She had an affair with her boss Doctor Martin Sutter. This affair produced Laura Kinney in the winter of 1990. Shortly after her birth Sarah Kinney was killed in a lab accident. Laura’s father took custody of Laura and made her his guinea pig.

She was raised in at the Weapon X facility nearly her entire life. She was raised to be a weapon. They honed her mind, body, and mutant abilities. In 2000 at the age of ten she tested she was sent to kill a man who liked little girls. She passed with flying colors. From that point on her career was accelerated. Whatever an assignment required she was trained to be an expert in it. At the age of sixteen her training was over, she had Adamantium bonded to her skeleton, she was then reclassified as operational. Her first target was a politician who was asking too many questions. This politician had a penchant for hookers. X-23 was sent in undercover as a hooker; it took two weeks before the politician chose her.

Since becoming operational she has never taken a day off. When Magneto raided the Weapon X facility she was on assignment in Dubai and radio silent. Upon completion of her assignment she returned to find a crater. She had nowhere else to go and had no clue where to turn to; the woods around the former facility became her home. She lived in the woods for six months when she was approached by Xavier to join his team.
