Name: Dante Giordano

 

Codename: N/A

 

Age: 18

 

Gender: Male

 

Loyalties/Faction: N/A

 

Power(S): Elemental Contracting

 

Through the contract Dante established with the Zodiac Spirits, Dante possesses the ability to form contracts with them to draw upon the power of the Four Classical Elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire.

 

To establish a Contract he recites an incantation in which he offers up a part of himself as a sacrifice to the corresponding group of Zodiacs, and recites the power he wishes for in return(i.e. Drawing upon the element of water means sacrificing to the Water Signs: Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces). For the weaker powers, like the Elemental Enhancements or minor Elemental Manipulation, this sacrifice can be merely losing some blood.

 

However in the event he wishes to draw upon more power, Dante must make greater sacrifices. These can range from the loss of limbs, to the loss of senses, to even things like the loss of his eye. The more power he which to draw upon the greater the sacrifice. These great sacrifices don’t require him to manually cut like he must with blood and take effect after the contracted power finishes.

 

For example if he offered up his arm as sacrifice for having the Earth swallow up a few men, Dante’s arm would vanish only after the Earth had finished burying the men. Afterwards his body would experience the pain of having it cut off, minus the physical scars. Instead there would merely be nothing where the arm once was. These great sacrifices also have no known way to be healed, not with science or magic.Element Enhancement refers to him using contracts to gain traits of an element (i.e. Speed from Wind, Endurance from Earth etc.). Elemental Manipulation refers to directly manipulating the elements the strength and abilities of both these powers are limited by how much Dante sacrifices.

 

Dante can only have one contract active at a time, and each one requires a new sacrifice. As such if he was using a contract and then formed a new one he'd have to perform a sacrifice again.

 

Appearance: Dante stands relatively tall at about 6’ 2’’, and has a lean figure to go with it. His skin is an olive color, and he has striking amber eyes that seem to glow whenever he uses magic. His eyes also seem to have perpetual bags under them, despite that he’s trying to sleep every five seconds. Part of this stems from him constantly remaining busy working. He has messy brown hair that tends to fall down the length of his forehead and obviously hasn’t seen a comb in a while.

 

In terms of clothing, Dante can’t really be bothered. He generally just throws on the first few things he finds, namely a pair of jeans, a simple black jacket, some sneakers and a random T-Shirt. It’s also quite common for the clothes to be rather wrinkled.

 

Weapons/Equipment: The closest thing to a weapon Dante possess is a simple knife that’s used mainly for his sacrifices. In terms of other equipment, Dante carries a backpack with him at all times, one that contains his laptop, books and a standard first aid kit filled with bandages to patch up his wounds.

 

Skills: Dante is relatively well versed in many mythologies and folklore due to his researching. Dante also tends to be quite adept at thinking on his feet and problem solving on the goal. When faced with puzzles and riddles, Dante can generally solve them with ease, especially when pressured to do so. After a year of traveling alongside Alistair, Dante’s combat skills have improved rendering him capable of at least surviving in a one on one confrontation with the average street punk. However to say he is good at fighting would be an overstatement, he still lacks any true combat abilities.

 

Personality: Dante is always upbeat and optimistic despite what his frequent snarking about his luck may imply, or his normally reserved nature. More defining though is his unshakable optimism when it comes to the human spirit and with it comes a stubborn determination in everything he does.

 

Dante always sees the good in people and while he may cuss you out for being a *****, he will never give up on saving you. It should be noted though that despite his optimism Dante is not naïve, he fully realizes the evils people can and will commit, he just doesn’t buy into the **** that people can be beyond redemption. It just might take a few punches to the jaw.

 

All this however, generally remains hidden, for on the outside he tends to keep to himself, always appearing to be occupied with something, and he usually is. Once you make a friend of him though, he becomes a steadfast ally who’ll probably be cracking quite a few snarks along the journey.

 

Even so, there are two things about Dante that generally tend to be overlooked by others. He complains about many odd occurrences occurring around him not due to any ill will but because it’s more of a coping mechanism. He still doesn’t quite understanding much of the nonsense happening around him and at times feels quite isolated since he is, at heart, quite normal.

 

The other main problem he has is his notoriously bad luck, for as long as he can remember things have constantly gone wrong for him. Whether that be him tripping over his feet, books falling on his head or even nonsense like his homework falling in a puddle, it was always some sort of lousy luck. Despite this Dante tries to stay at least somewhat upbeat.

 

Weakness: Dante is average on pretty much all fields, his magic is the only real perk he has, and it comes with many drawbacks, such as the sacrifices and the finicky nature of the Zodiacs. Dante also tends to not think things through and his quick thinking can only get him so far.

 

Dante has no real idea about Mutants or even the deeper secrets of Magic. Finally perhaps his biggest weakness is that he just doesn’t have much of an idea when it comes to combat. While Alistair has thought him a few things, he still doesn’t possess much skill when fighting a mutant only his brains can get him out of pickles, as many mutants tend to have stronger powers than his Elemental Enhancements provide.

 

Finally there’s his horrendous day-to-day luck.

 

Bio: : Dante never got to have a tragic past, nor did he receive a past in which he was always the hero, awakening one day with the powers to save the world. And that was precisely the problem. For as long as he can remember Dante always wanted to have powers so that he could be the hero, so that he could save people.

 

Now most kids give up on this dream rather early on, by the time they enter Middle School, most stop fantasizing about it. That was not the case with Dante; in fact his resolve merely grew after entering Middle School. The fact that few still were serious about wanting to be a super hero gnawed at him, especially because they lived in a world where people could get powers.

 

Unfortunately for Dante he wasn’t a Mutant, powers never magically appeared for him, nor was he a genius who could just build a powerful suit, or a billionaire who could afford one. No, on all accounts Dante remained average, until an idea struck. Magic.

 

For a normal person the idea would be absurd, after all little evidence of Magic even existed, Dr. Strange may have been a sorcerer but even still people had their doubts. After all if Magic was easy to learn, why wasn’t the world filled with sorcerers? However for Dante, a world filled with Mutants meant that surely Magic might be possible as well.

 

Thus he turned to the occult, spending the remainder of his Middle School years, and continuing into his High School years, researching. His grades suffering as a result, the former straight-A student became too apathetic to school, devoting his mind to the pursuit of Magic.

 

Finally, near the end of his freshman year he stumbled upon his first real lead, an odd incantation in the back of a book that seemed to form some sort of contract. A contract with the elements, reciting the incantation and sacrificing some blood, he established his first and only permanent contract. The contract that granted him the ability to form contracts with the Elements.

 

However the amount of blood needed for this first contract soon took its toll on Dante and he collapsed, awakening sometime later in a hospital. Unfortunately the book he discovered was nowhere to be found, its other secrets lost to him.

 

Never one to despair, Dante didn’t dwell too much on the matter, instead he decided to put his new found powers to good use, and began experimenting with them. On the side he began performing vigilantism as his favorite heroes once did, of course the large number of other occupations he had didn’t give him much practice. As a result his combat abilities still need quite a bit of work.

 

Dante later moved to California thanks his dad’s changing of jobs. This led to him having his first few encounters with people actually used to and experienced with the world of magic. After a few mishaps involving a pedantic Arthurian, an arrogant Thunderbird, a nosy Kitsune and an amnesiac Roman, Dante ended up traveling with the Arthurian, Alistair, in search of the remains of the Library of Alexandria. Of course they were sidetracked a few times be it thanks to skin walkers or a HYDRA attack.

 

Eventually the two managed to track down the library and delved into the historical records hoping two learn more about the worlds they had been immersing themselves in. Alistair managed to find clues about a few new weapons while Dante discovered clues about possible new contracts he might be able to form as well as one of the secrets behind where his power originated from. The Zodiacs.

 

After discovering this fact Dante found he could refine his enhancement simply by modifying his chant to include the name of the Zodiac he was drawing on power from. However while this did allow for a less exhaustive use of his power, not only did it require a longer chant, but showing favoritism to certain Zodiacs above the others could leave him unable to access the powers of others.

 

Currently Dante and Alistair had to put a halt on their search and split due to Alistair being called away on family business. However with Alistair gone, Dante’s attempts to remain isolated from the brewing conflict may soon come to a head and he could very well find himself roped back into the world of Mutants.

An old face. For approval.

 

Name: General Yuri V. Aleksandrov
Codename: GenDef 4234
Gender: Male
Age: Forty-Six
Loyalties/Faction: SHIELD, once the director of MACE Yuri was forced out of his position during the dismantlement of the organization. He did his best to protect the people under his command, but when the president is out to get you, there isn’t much a general can do, even if he has blackmail on several important members of the senate. Yuri was forced to cooperate as best he could, to ensure as many of his men got out as possible. He was shuffled into SHIELD soon after, bringing his expertise to the organization. Strangely, he does appear to be more or less loyal to the government. In SHIELD, he serves as a general adviser and tactical expert and even then, he has to make due with a lot of tactical oversight. He reports to Nick Fury before taking any actions in other words, something he isn’t exactly thrilled about.
Power(S): He’s wheel-chair bound middle aged man. Unless you count the ability to get people to reach for things on tall shelves for him, he doesn’t have any.
Appearance: The last year has not been kind to Yuri and has likely taken years off of his life. First, there was an assassination attempt my Mutant Rights extremists, followed by the slow, painful dismantling of MACE, which took place while he was in a hospital bed. As it turns out, trying to resist the power of the federal government while trying (and failing) to learn to walk again is not exactly conducive to easy aging. Yuri face is lined with premature wrinkles, his hair is completely grey. The left side of his face, already scarred, has a few new scars added to it, as a result of the extremist attempt on his life, he would have gone blind in his left eye as a result of the attack, but, “thankfully” he was already blind in it. His right eye is blue and his left is a milky white.
He typically wears an olive green uniform, with various insignia and medals pinned upon it. He often uses wears black leather gloves and an eye patch to cover up his blind eye. Needless to say, he isn’t in the best shape of his life, though he still has some muscle to him, the fact he can’t move about without a wheelchair tells you everything you need to know about his physical condition.
Weapons: One M1911 pistol, in a holster at his side.
Skills: With two decades of experience n the ways of war, and having managed a team of crack black ops commandos, Yuri was a skilled combatant before he was rendered an invalid. He is still calm and cool-headed when it comes to his job however, his abilities as a tactician, strategist and logistician have only increased. He still has a certain charisma about him, though these days it is very rough around the edges. As a result of his run-ins with the Federal Government, he’s taken it upon himself to master the ways of Washington and the corridors of power that decide how the nation will be run. He’s more politician then warrior these days.
Personality: Yuri has not come out of these ordeals unscathed. He is haunted by guilt from a raid on a Brotherhood warehouse gone horribly wrong; though his position on mutants has softened somewhat he is nowhere near giving in on the issue. He feels that the dissolution of MACE was a horrible mistake, one that will come to bite the government in the back one day. He is somewhat bitter about his current situation and mentioning the Brotherhood in his presence is a surefire way to get the temperature in the room to go down a few degrees. They killed some of his boys, insofar as he is concerned, they tried to kill him and he holds the current Brotherhood, no matter how changed they claim to be, responsible for the all the crimes it’s predecessors have committed. He has little tolerance for the “wishy-washy” politics of empowered rights activists.
He does strive to stay professional however; he doesn’t allow his politics to interfere with his duties in SHIELD. He cares about results, he cares about competence. He doesn’t care what people believe on their own time, only that they don’t waste his on the job. If they’re competent and do their job, the General won’t have any problems with them in the workplace. His ruthless streak has been tempered somewhat, do the actions of certain elements of MACE, a general who pursues his goals without restraint only encourages his soldiers to the same and frankly, that leads to undisciplined soldiers, something that no one is eager to deal with. He comes across as no-nonsense and withdrawn, but he gets the job done. He’s a patient, careful planner and this has allowed him to excel in his position within SHIELD.
His past however, is starting to catch up to him and Yuri is not eager to see the day come when some portion of it works its way into his current life. He’s become slightly paranoid as a result.He's something of a paradox, bitter, yet seeking some form of redemption. He's loyal to the people of the United States if nothing else. He's done some dirty deeds in his time, he does question some of the actions he took in the old days, wondering how he could have done thing differently. There might have been a better way. In a way, he views his service to SHIELD as a way to make up for his failure to protect President Binder. MACE served that purpose once, perhaps SHIELD can do the same.
Weakness: He’s a wheel-chair bound man who’s blind in one eye. He’s effectively useless in combat.
Bio: Yuri’s past is mostly hidden, buried in various hidden locations around the globe-like the bottom of an ocean trench-or a bunch of files that are ashes in the wind at this point. His past is in the six-foot deep forest resting place of a platoon of slain Weapon X soldiers, it’s in the uneasy minds of several senators who know that crossing him would result in several…very incriminating…photos coming to light. Yuri has spent the last two years carefully covering up his past and he has spared no expense in this endeavor. He used to be in command of a company Russian BlackOps mercenaries that emerged from the chaos of the collapse of the Soviet Union. They fought in brush wars and conflicts all over the globe, taking their pay, killing the fellows who needed killing and then vanishing into the night.
They fell in with Weapon X as a wet works unit eventually, though they didn’t know the full extent of their employers’ plans and methods. The money was good, the barracks were great and half the time they were just used to train various agents. In short, it was the kind of work a merc dreamed of. When Weapon X collapsed and their dark dealings came to light, Yuri and his commandos moved quickly, killing the Weapon X soldiers at their base and making off with a prototype Submarine. For the next few weeks they operated as an anti-mutant cell, striking at mutants they perceived as a threat to human civilization. This naturally led them into conflict with the Brotherhood. Their penultimate operation against the Brotherhood proved to be an ethical and military disaster, though they inflicted heavy casualties n their foes, they took many themselves. Furthermore, a group of entirely innocent mutant refugees were caught in the crossfire.
The BlackOps unit, shocked and horrified by the results of the battle, drifted apart after that. Leaving only Yuri and a group of loyalists, who vanished into the underworld with nary a trace. Yuri remerged later, as a General in the United States Armed Forces, he’d put his skills to good use and more or less charmed/blackmailed his way into his position, the fact he proved to be extremely effective was icing on the cake. After the assassination of President Binder, Yuri was promoted, becoming the Director of MACE. He launched a quick and effective mutant suppression campaign, though some would question his methods, none could question how quickly he meant the objectives assigned to him by the White House.
He crushed the Brotherhood at Genosha, defanged the mutant population of the United States and put the Brotherhood as a whole on the run, all in a matter of months. The HYDRA attack however, changed everything. The fact that a few weeks later, mutant extremists bombed his office and confined him to a hospital bed did nothing to help matters. In the aftermath, with the deaths of his most prominent supporters, MACE came under fire. The new president set about disabling them entirely. Yuri called in every favor he could, applied every bit of blackmail possible….but in the end; he was forced to accept the inevitable and cooperate with the new administration completely. He did his best to get his boys out intact, but he couldn’t protect them all
After a few tense months, he was shuffled into SHIELD and stripped of most of his powers. Operating under heavy oversight, he serves the organization as a tactical adviser, planner and troubleshooter. He reports directly to Nick Fury and cannot take any official action without his say-so.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

Dante Giordano - Looks good, and really painful ._. +1

 

General Yuri V. Aleksandrov - Approved +1

 

 

Just asking, but is there anything or anyone in need of a doctor at the Institute?

Or needs to be bothered by one? I can arrange both.

 

I think the institute as a whole could use a doctor, it was sorely lacking one at the end of the last game XD.

 

 

Say, we have S.H.I.E.L.D, do the S.T.R.I.K.E. and S.W.O.R.D. organizations also exist?

 

S.W.O.R.D. exists somewhere I believe, no idea about S.T.R.I.K.E.

Name: Dr. Rachel Thomas

Codename: None

Age: 36

Gender: Female

Loyalties/Faction: The Institute

Power(s): None

 

Appearance: A professionally dressed woman in her mid thirties, Rachel stands at 5'10” and typically wears a dark grey business suit -with pants, not a skirt- and black leather shoes with no heels. Her hair is dark brown and is cut precisely half an inch above her shoulders. Thin rectangular glasses frame her brown eyes. She wears little makeup unless the situation demands it.

 

Weapons: A Sig Sauer P229 pistol (in case of attack). A capped syringe with a knock-out agent (in case of belligerent mutants).

 

Skills: Rachel holds a Ph.D. In Psychology, and speaks English, French, and Russian. Her analytical mind and her ability to hit in one shot any target you can name make her a force to be reckoned with. She can pick up subtle physical cues that give away almost any psychological condition, and stores information like a computer: instantly and accurately.

 

Personality: Efficient is an understatement. Everything Rachel does has a purpose, be it the way she arranges her closet (hung left to right in order of most frequent use), or the way she speaks (each phrase designed to provide the most information in as few words as possible). Nevertheless, she's a nice person who seems to genuinely care about people.

 

Weakness: Doesn't like to mince words, and can be exceptionally blunt. May be a sharpshooter, but has no combat experience.

 

Biography: Rachel was a precocious child. Growing up with an American father and a French mother, she learned both languages, then took Russian in school. Her father was a gun enthusiast, and taught her how to accurately shoot both handguns and rifles before her tenth birthday. She graduated valedictorian of her class, then went to university to obtain a degree in Psychology. She worked as a professor for a few years before applying and being accepted as a guidance counsellor at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.

Forgive me, I don't really know what's happening with S.H.I.E.L.D. and this "Archangel" thing. Sorry for being stupid, but could someone give me a few pointers on what's happening?

Third IC of this post might clear a few things up. SHIELD took the formula to create Archangel soldiers of their own and appear to be using them as guards to hold Daken. Though as these guards didn't shackle or restrain their captive and apparently couldn't even be bothered to actually watch him, I'm thinking its something of a wasted effort :P

So who's involved with the Hellfire Club?

 

Romulus, Borte, Song An-Shuo, Alaric Carlisle and Anberlyn and a certain Mr. Picker, if he has been approved.

 

I kept careful track of it.

Because it's lax security. These guys are military. They're paid to be utterly paranoid, because if they aren't....well, I point you to the HYDRA attack on NY.

Okay, last char for the next few days (and probably the last one I'm going to import from XMDD):

 

Name: Legally Earl Greystone, but he no longer uses that title

Codename: Reptilian

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Loyalties/Faction: HYDRA

Power(S): Since the battle of New York, Reptilian’s body has reverted into a form that is as lizard-like as it is human. This form affords him near-peak-human agility and strength. In addition, his plated, scaly skin naturally provides a slight degree of protection.

Appearance: Reptilian’s build is much more humanoid than his bestial predecessor; however, he has retained his scaly skin and yellow, beady eyes.

Weapons: Whatever he has on hand.

Skills: As a former member of the Hellfire Club, Reptilian excels in deceiving others. He has also improved his skill firearms and has adjusted his combat style to better fit his new form.

Personality: Reptilian does what he does to see things burn, no matter how much planning and/or patience it takes. His Reptilian side makes the decisions, but his Earl side sees them through.

Weakness: He is still adjusting to the absence of his healing factor and as such is liable to put himself in more danger than his body is capable of handling. He acts primarily on instinct, and while he is still reasonable when doing so, he doesn’t always make the smartest decisions.

Bio: Earl was the head of Oscorp's biological research division and was also secretly the Black Bishop of the Hellfire Club around the time of the Phoenix's rampage. After the X-men and the Brotherhood of Mutants were all but eradicated, he realized the potential for superhuman enhancements, and thus began secretly researching and enhancing Curtis Connors' original Lizard serum. One day, he was accidentally exposed to the new formula while supervising a shipment. After plowing through half of Oscorp's security and being fired from his position, he found he could control his transformation. He quickly took his place among Sebastian Shaw’s recently-reformed Hellfire Club. He had run-ins with SHIELD and the X-Men before the Battle of New York took place.

When HYDRA invaded, his Reptilian mind, as any cornered animal would have, lashed out, seeking shelter in the rubble while the other members of the Club fled. Confused and furious at the notion that Shaw had left without him, the two sides of his mind established an equilibrium, but he went comatose and was found by HYDRA troops. They brought him back to one of their labs and, being HYDRA, sought a means to weaponize him. He molted while in captivity, and his new form emerged with, much to his captors’ delight, a thirst for blood. He was quickly swept into their ranks, and although he knew they were the ones responsible for the attack on New York, he cared little--they were providing him with food and an excuse to kill things.

Well, glab this is back. Importing character form XM:DD

 

Scott Jackson

 

Name: Scott JacksonCodename: Tin-ManAge: 17Gender: MaleLoyalties/Faction: Xavier Institute, teacher in training for the Technology and hand-to-hand combat classes Power(S): Scott is a Technopath. While he can interface with the software of any computer, he is able to work the hardware better. As such, most of his tech is custom made. His prized jewel of the technology he's made would be the Nano- forge. Originally, it could provide healing, with speed depending on size of the damage. However, Scott has upgraded it, and it can now swap between two modes. The first, and the one Scott uses the most is the Civilian mode. The second mode is his combat mode, which is more on par with what the armor looked like normally.

The Nano forge heals through nanobots. Its healing time is proportional to damage taken, and the area as well. If someone fired .22LR rounds, they would plink off, and the damage would be healed quickly. Now, the rounds fired from most rifles, such as the M4A1, that would take anywhere from 5-15 minutes, depending on where the shots land. The higher the caliber, the longer it takes to heal. I can make it so that he would need to take metals from an outside source after a certain amount of damage is dealt. This 'healing' is done only to the armor. Scott would need a medic or somewho with healing abilities if his armor is breached on his chest and bullets go through.

Appearance: In Civilian mode, the chest-plate, arms, and legs are slimmed down versions of how the armor normally looks like.], and the helmet becomes a pair of sunglasses. This is to help seem less intimidating in the school, and to help blend in, as Normal clothing can be wore over the armor in this modeIn Combat Mode, the armor is what it used to look like. A Mark VI set of MLONJIR powered armor as seen in the Halo games. The armor, in either mode, is mainly gray, with red trim to detail the rest. The visor is now a midnight black, instead of the off-gold it used to beWeapons: an M1911 pistol on his leg, an L85 assault rifle, and a reinforced macheteSkills: Is proficient with mid-to-close range weapons, and one could consider him a master at a forge. Is a skilled hacker, and can make a lot of things from scratch, forge or not.Personality: A lot of Scott's soft side died at the Battle for New York. He is more cold to new people, but still somewhat open to those that where there for the battle. His tactical, at least he would believe so, and is thoughtful. Has shown mercy, but very rarely. HYDRA members are killed without a second thought.Weakness: As a man of metal, magnetic based attacks can devastate Scott. His electrical systems are also susceptible to EMPs, to a degree. The armor is hardened against EMPs, but one ,from say a nuke, would shut down the armor and cause it to go into a reboot state that can take a few minutes. Scott is practically defenseless, as the armor can take a beating, but he has no energy shields, so all damage goes right to armor.

Also, if a round goes through his helmet, Scott would die. His helmet can take a heck of a beating, but the visor is the weakest point on the helmet. So snipers are a constant worry.

 

One last major weakness is in the Nano-Forge. It has to to take in metallic materials if the current supply is depleted. Switching between Civillian and Combat modes take up a lot of Nanties. Scott has to use the changing sparingly.

Bio: Scott lived a good life as a kid. He had friends, he was dating, and all around, life was good. Then he moved out west, to California. By this point, his sister's mutations had kicked in, and she looked like a bipedal cat with wings. Both of them caught a lot of flak for it, and Scott got fed up. He pushed for equality in his school, but it didn't pick up much movement. It faded, and Scott faded with It. He drifted into crowd, and left his sister alone.Leaving his sister to the wolves, Scott learned of his own powers, technopathy. He was shocked, but it explained his affinity with electronics. With knowledge of his powers, Scott set out to do something crazy. He started to build his own power armor, based off the suits from Halo. He started, and every so slowly, got ti done. He was almost done with the set when the accident happenedWhen he was 15,his dad was picking him up late one night from a school event. His dad was drunk, and a car hit them. His dad was killed on impact, and Scott was a full amputee. Prosthetic limbs had come a long way, so it wasn't that bad thankfully, but Scott was traumatized. He modified his armor to act as his limbs instead. That didn't take along, and with that done, Scott stuck around to finish the school year.After the year was over, he left town, never looking back. He did some work in the States along the north-west coast, then went out of country. Not much is known by his friends in the X-men what he did abroad, but Scott did come back state side.Not long after come back state side, Scott was walking through the woods to help ease his mind of what had went on overseas, when his sensors picked up the sounds of fighting. What he found was the X-men fighting the Brotherhood of Mutants, and an old friend, Blake Raynkin.After the fighting ended, Scott headed with the X-Men back to the School, where Scott join the X-men under the title 'Wander'. Scott was involved in all the major engagements the X-men where at including Vegas, where he was able to get back to the east coast, along with Blake, only in time to for HYDRA to invade.During that invasion, Scott seemed to lose his humanity in the mist of all the fighting. He also his ex-girlfriend, Lexie Raynkin, tearing into people, her powers allowing her to consume the dead. It was sickening, and Scott had to end it. He started to battle her, and after whittling her away, killed her. That was the one of the three things he did/saw that made him so withdrawn.The second was seeing Blake get taken down by HYDRA forces, and seeing his sister, who had attacked Scott when Weapon-X had stormed the institute, get taken out of the sky and go through a building, most likely dead. It broke him, and he went on a rampage, taking down as many HYDRA soldiers as he could.At the end of it, Scott was left broken even more than he had been during his travels. He put down his first girlfriend, saw his best friend get gunned down, and his sister as well. It wasn't looking bright for Scott, but he moved on. He applies for a teaching role at the school as the tech and combat abilities teacher. He was approved, and so now he teaches.Scott has kept an eye on the news, and doesn't care anymore. Maybe once he did, but not anymore. He truly seems to be in his Darkest of Days.

War...war never changes.

We crawl, on our knees for you,
under, a sky no longer blue,
we sweat, all day long for you.

But we sow, seeds to see us though,
cause sometimes dreams just don't come true,
we wait, to reap what we are due.

Hey, Flex, I'm sorry. I'll have to take a look at those in the morning, I can barely type.

 

I did, however, finish this. Basilisk, as promised:

 

Name: Nick WilderCodename: ShiftshockAge: 18Gender: MaleLoyalties/Faction: Unaligned. Feels honor-bound to the Hellfire Club.Power(S): Nick's healing factor is tied up keeping a bullet from sinking deeper into his heart. Consequently, he heals at a much slower rate than he used to, with one exception. When using his second power he heals quite a bit of damage, though he can't repair fully.His second ability is this: He can make body parts partially mimic their animal equivalent. In the past his arms have grown hair and claws like a wolf, gained the punching power of a mantis shrimp, and channeled part of a grizzly's raw strength.His third and final talent is electrical charging. Essentially, he can pump voltage into objects, making them release the charge on impact.Appearance: Tall and dark blond haired, Nick is muscular and slightly more attractive than normal. However, his blue-green eyes always seem to have a little of the feral in them, and that tends to be… Off-putting.Weapons: None.Skills: Good with his powers, and getting better at containing the animal inside. Quick, but not extraordinarily fast.Personality: Once a joker and all around nice guy, he's different since gaining powers. His brain rewired to better control his new abilities, releasing the pent up creature inside. He becomes angrier more easily and is harder to calm. Violence, once never an option, seems marginally attractive.The niceness is still there, he just has to control himself.Weakness: His powers only allow him to copy part of the attributes. If he and an actual grizzly got in a tug of war, it'd win. Easily. Bullets, once easy for him to deal with, take him a week to heal, if he doesn't bleed out.Bio: Kidnapped by mistake four years ago, Nick was kept by Weapon X until developing powers, then escaped with the help of a vampire. He fell in with the Hellfire Club before being shot in New York, only saved by a vial of healing serum he'd kept from his time as an ordinary human.He's now coming back from a year long hiatus.

No such thing as destiny.

Nicole and Matt look better now with the changes made +1

 

Scott Jackson - I'm not quite understanding what this Nano-Forge does, basically he heals through nano-bots? Ehhhhh, you'll have to be a lot more clear on how it heals exactly. Besides, being a Technopath, having armor taken from a Halo game, and basically having a healing factor is way too OP. I'm recommending you remove the healing power and then will see.

 

Also, a 17 year old being a teacher for technology and combat abilities seems a bit too young. He should be a student.

 

Nick Wilder - looks good + 1
