The rules do say that it's not a first come first served basis, so it might be possible to compete for the roles? But also, not a gm. :)

||APPEARANCE ||

Reaching a modest height of 5'7", Tae's physique is a bridge between lean and muscular. The sports he takes part in aren't exactly weight-building, but he stays extremely fit and is stronger than his build suggests. Tae's eyes are a lighter brown than his nearly-black hair, which is usually be styled in a variety of ways. Sometimes he grows it out long so it can tied up, other times it's cut a bit shorter, though not a buzzcut. If he can't run a hand through it and lose sight of his fingers, then it's not long enough. In terms of skin, it's naturally pale, though with the hot weather of the many vacations abroad to sunny sites around the world, he's managed to retain a bit of a tan, though with a tendency to burn easily, is careful with the sunblock. He has yet to treat himself to any piercings or tattoos, and his skin is fairly clear of scars barring small ones here and there from an active life. His left collarbone is slightly sunken compared to the other, due to having broken it at a Taekwondo tournament at the age of 13.

Taking advantage of his adoptive family's wealth, Tae's style can definitely be described as stylish and expensive. With the first few years of his life being so poor, and the full knowledge of the poverty in his homeland, Tae fully utilises the money he was brought into to, though is sure to respect it. Flaunting wealth is not a trait he admires, nor is it necessary in the neighbourhood he lives in. Everyone is rich. His colours and style vary, though he leans towards dark or neutral tones. Accessories will nearly always include a watch, or woven leather bracelets.

||PERSONALITY ||

Whenever speaking to his parents or teachers about his ideal future career, all of them have agreed that he would make an excellent Doctor (Though his Father also clearly has an interest in him taking over the family business, too.). Despite his often cold and efficient way in dealing with people he has no patience for, Tae has plenty of warmth in his heart. An advocate for both sympathy and empathy, Tae tries to consider other people's views as much as he can, though his impatient nature makes this difficult at times. He often comes across as uncaring for people's plights, though more often than not it's due to him deciding their troubles aren't worth his time. Not out of callousness, but logical thinking. Rich kids shouldn't moan about losing or breaking their personal items, nor other problems that can easily be solved. He's not one for "First-World Problems." If the Wi-fi stops working, he'll just grab a book and read instead until it's solved. Favourite item taken off the menu? Just order something else, it's good to try new things. Their local high school football team didn't win the play-offs? Who cares? It's just a game.

Despite his fairly straight-laced nature, Tae can still kick back and have some fun. He'll always be down for some kind of adventure, even if it's potentially dangerous, or a prank or practical joke, even if it'll get him into trouble. Though rare for him to come up with such ideas himself, he'll nearly always tag along with others for some fun. Just because he has a serious job in the future doesn't mean to him that he has to be serious all the time. Teenagehood is about having fun, and with the amount of ways he can do so in America, he's not about to let that go to waste.

||HISTORY ||

As anyone would be able to tell when looking at the Hollingsworth family, Tae is a little different from his siblings. Although he's been a member of the family for 14 and a half years of his life, Tae never forgets his original heritage, or birth family. Born to two poor villagers in the South Hwangae province of North Korea, he was only one year old when they and a group of others defected, aiming to cross into South Korea at the mouth of the Ryesŏng River. Of course, this was all told to him several years later, by his adoptive parents. They had learned his backstory from the orphanage where had had stayed in Seoul, who in turn had heard it from one his parents friends. As is common for stories of defectors, the escape didn't go as planned. Tae's parents perished in the waters, while one of the others took pity on him and helped him to the shore. Being as small as he was, not much strength was required to carry him the rest of the way to safety. By the time the group had reached Seoul, he was left to the state. Until he turned two, that is.

Having toured the capital city in order to find some new business for their wine, the Hollingsway couple came across Tae and other orphans as they played in the street. Following them back to the home, Jared and Serena fell in love with the Korean toddler. They'd been trying for a boy ever since their daughter Veronica was born, and after several years of failure, decided they'd take a chance and try to adopt Tae.

The process took roughly six months, between arrangements in both South Korea and America, introducing Veronica to him, and getting back to his new home. At this age he'd not learnt much in terms of talking, but his new parents were sure to teach him both English and Korean, not wanting his culture to just disappear just because they had taken him in.

[Blank space here for his reaction to his younger brother being born, when someone takes him.]

To this day, Tae is thankful for everything they've done. Not just the adoption, but the seamless transition into western life, while still upholding the values of his home country. He has a great love for his home culture, and has hopes one day of returning and improving the lives of children that were just like him. Therefore, now that he is finished with High School, has applied to Medical School to become a Doctor.

@Rabidporcupine

Hey there! Not a GM, but I think for detail they want some more writing as opposed to pictures. :)

Make a wish, corrupt a wish.

Sure thing, but you lose your mind and start thinking of batshit crazy wishes that just end up ruining your life.

I wish the human race has encountered a friendly alien race, in which first contact went off without a hitch and we are now benefiting from this new relationship.

X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Nina van Essenhout

_{Location: Xavier's Institute}

Despite Thalia's assurances that she could indeed carry her, Nina couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief as the pair were tied to one another. At least then if she was hit Thalia would keep her from falling. If Thalia were hit... well, hopefully Nina could grab onto the plane wing she was holding up in time to save them both.

As it happened, they were both safe for the time being. Whether from luck or the efforts of those shooting in the plane, neither the OMEN Agents or the Sentinels seemed to notice Thalia flying alongside the craft. The plane itself was heavy, but an easy weight for Nina to support, even when several feet up in the air. Keeping most of the weight along her shoulders and back in order to support it better, Nina gritted her teeth as she avoided looking down. She wasn't exactly squeamish of heights, but they were still pretty high up.

Charlie Farrier

_{Location: Xavier's Institute}

Considering the fact that Nina and Thalia would need to open a door (Or ramp, whatever) in order to exit the plane, Guin's concerns about being sucked out into thin air didn't exactly hold true. Besides, everyone knew D.B Cooper survived the drop from the plane with his parachute. He would have been sipping bourbon and soda in Maui before you could say "No Funny Stuff."

Anyway, unsolved mysteries aside, Charlie nodded as Mary asked him to stand down. Sara was providing more help copying Allison anyway, and there was a chance his shooting out the back could make it more of a target. With everyone else sat there, it probably wasn't the best decision. Especially if it wouldn't do much. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make robots that adapted to attacks? From the side of the attackee, it was a pretty dumb idea. Slumping down beside Carolina and the others, he shuddered as he listened to her and at the thought of being "studied". That was one of the main reasons he'd fled from home, mixed in with shame, and fear that his family would reject him.

Keeping quiet as the discussion about Jacobsen and Cornish went on (He had no idea who either of them were, but if they were British, they were bound to be evil. Right?), he only looked to Dean as the guy exclaimed. Charlie was surprised at his outburst at first - hadn't Dean been at the Academy longer than he had? Even if not, he'd been there long enough to know that death was bound to follow them, no matter how far away from trouble they'd attempted to stay. Just look at today - there they were, talking about prom and video games, normal teenager stuff, when they were attacked by mutant-phobic psychopaths and their murder machines.

"Dean, I think quite a few people in this plane have killed people." He said gently, feeling equal parts relieved and apprehensive that he wasn't included in that. It had been two years, but he still hadn't been forced to take anyone's life yet... but he appreciated it was bound to happen. Maybe Dean needed some help understanding that too. "Being in the X-Men - in fact, not just the X-Men, but being different like we are... we're bound to have to make that choice sooner or later. You may not have to, because your power can be used for a lot of things! But someone more like me..." He trailed off, sighing lightly and being sure to keep his voice down. The younger kids didn't need to hear this. "Well, fire and ice can't exactly be used for anything good in a situation like this one." Super-Agility though, that could be used more to save than to harm. Dean was lucky in having that choice.
