X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Upon further consideration, I'm gonna have to back out of this. I underestimated the scope of the rp, and think I'd be getting in over my head if I continue. This seems like a really cool universe, though. Wishing you guys well without me.

Marie is a stern and dead-set woman. She projects an atmosphere of utmost professionalism when on either of her jobs, and expects the same of others she works with. She is a new detective recruited by NSPD after her name appeared in the history of a recently deceased police officer, who she allegedly had history with. Marie doesn't disclose the details of this with anyone, but her skills are easily recognizable. As an independent private investigator, Marie has a reputation for being very capable, discreet, and resourceful. Marie keeps her personal life close to the chest, and no one can say for certain why she dodges the census, but she's clearly on board with the rest of NSPD, assuming the affiliation with officer Pilgrim counts for anything.

The earliest turning point of Marie's life began with a gunshot. Ever since that day, she had officer Nathan Pilgrim to thank for helping her leave a terrible home behind. On her 18th birthday, she took whatever she could from home and left. Pilgrim helped her make sure she would be safe, and gave her his number in case she needed help. He was like a father to Marie, and when she considered detective work, he encouraged her fully. After spending a few years to build up a stable homelife, Marie eventually opened an office in New Seattle as a private investigator at the age of 23. Work was slow at first, but she steadily earned a reputation as a professional among law firms and some other private individuals. Everything was fine for roughly two years, until Marie vanished one day.

No one was entirely sure where she went. It was as if she simply stopped existing, not even Nathan Pilgrim could track her down, but she was an adult capable of looking after herself. She had a bad past, and maybe she just needed to make peace with that somehow now that she had stability. That was what Nathan thought, and he was somewhat correct. After she eventually returned at the age of 26, she did her best to avoid Old Man Pilgrim. She had done things that would have disappointed him, things that would ruin the life and career she had carved out for herself. But, she had peace. That was enough.

For the next six years, life was back to normal for her. She had cases to work, and even met a woman she turned out to be very happy with. Nathan had retired, but now lies dead at the hands of the Morse Code Killer. Marie attended his funeral, estranged as she was. It was during the end of his funeral where NSPD detectives approached her. They knew that Marie was an old friend of his, and that she had a professional career as an investigator. The case of this serial killer was personal to her, and that was enough of a reason for her to be recruited and handed a badge. The rest is history, and Marie wants it to stay that way.

Officer Nathan Pilgrim - A retired police officer, and one of the Morse Code Killer's most recent victims. After his death, investigators turned up evidence of someone named Marie Shepard having history with him. Marie had already heard of his death, and was planning to investigate herself. NSPD brought her onboard as an "official" detective in light of this. Marie never told them, but she owed Nathan Pilgrim her life. That man was very, very important to her and where she came from.

Natalie Wilkins - Marie's significant other. She tends to stay out of criminal investigations, but works as an anonymous journalist in the city. Sometimes they trade notes.

Carl Black - She has never heard that name before.

• Sig P320 and extra bullets
• A swiss army knife
• A small digital camera
• A notebook and multiple pens
• A list of contacts including lawyers, reporters, and otherwise resourceful individuals who Marie typically questions during a case. One such contact is simply labelled as "Wildcard."

Eureka City. A tourist trap of rides and greasy carnival food. It smelled like sweat and runny sunscreen where Haylen was, walking through the crowds and lines waiting to get on a ride or two. He had a baseball cap on and a pair of sunglasses over his face, and walked slowly, but steadily. Haylen's eyes flicked from one place to another, looking for the negative spaces; areas that weren't crowded or even being paid attention to, or anywhere that he could slip away behind a door were important right now. This carnival being this packed meant that people would easily miss Haylen in the crowd, but it also meant that the place was full of people who would miss a few dollars in the chaos. But Haylen wasn't about to start snatching wallets, no. He was looking for a place with a cash register behind a wall, somewhere quiet that wasn't getting as much foot traffic.

As he paced through the carnival, he eventually at one of the stands on the far side from the entrance. A popcorn stand with a sign that said "On break." Perfect. Ensuring that no one was around to notice, Haylen slipped behind the counter and stared into the inner working of the cash register.

It was child's play to coerce the simple machine into opening up, and he discreetly started pulling money out.

Okay, I'll post for Haylen, and hopefully go from there

He's currently robbing an unattended carnival stand if someone wants to catch him.

Alright, I think I can work with that. I’m shooting for someone who’s been hurt considerably by such people, and it toughened her up to the point she’s bristly towards others. Has trust issues and feels a need to do things on her own but won’t admit she’s in over her head because she doesn’t want to show vulnerability. She won’t be a complete ass about it, but she’ll have a chip on her shoulder no less.

She knows how her abilities work and what she can do on a surface level, but there is some nuance to the way her powers work that she isn’t aware of yet and she’ll probably need help fighting that nuance out. As far as she’s concerned, she’s just really good at throwing rocks at people.

She’ll also be 100% new to Xavier’s school. As in, her first day.

Sure we can always have more, you guys can see about filling out the CS character wise and all, just let me know if you have any questions about anything with regards to the universe or filling out the CS and message me if you need help and all.

@BlueSky44

People generally don’t like mutants in this world, right? Are there any kind of laws that restrict mutants? Like a law that says they’d have to register with the government for example. I’m thinking my character is gonna try to take after the example of people like the Avengers and try to be a hero, only to be held back because people are afraid and pissed off at mutants, which makes her afraid and pissed off at the world as a result.

@DeadDrop

Any plans for a discord server? Might be easier to bounce ideas off of one another that way
