And we can make up our own history of the characters right? As long as it contains some of their "actual" history, cuz I'm thinkin of makin Nightcrawler look human...

I'm going to try and come up with something that lays out all this sort of thing to anyone wanting to join but here's the gist so far...

Yes, you can create unique histories for your characters (they don't even have to contain ANY of their real history so long as it meets the rest of the requirements). No, you cannot make Nightcrawler look human. Why? Because this isn't that type of alternate universe. The only changes you can make to characters are changes that would alter their lives had they made different choices.

Examples of things that can be changed:
Xavier can walk. (This can be explained thanks to Xavier choosing a different life path which prevents whatever incident that caused the paralysis to never occur.)

Cyclops can control his optic beam. (His parents never took that plane ride that led to Scott's head injury when his parachute caught on fire.)

Rogue has the ability to shapeshift. (Perhaps she instead saved Ms. Marvel by turning on Mystique.)


Examples of things that cannot be changed:
Nightcrawler being born with a human appearance.

Jubilee developing the ability to fly when her powers manifested.

Storm is born to Caucasian parents.

Cyclops is an only child.


Just try to remember, if there's no possible way to explain whatever change you have in mind (other than it's just something you want to do), it's not allowed.

Does everyone understand?

How big an obstacle is death in this? I'm asking because it'll affect whether James did actually give his older brother a proper funeral pyre.

I'd start using proper codenames, but I still haven't decided whether either, neither or both of them will be Thunderbird yet.

I'm very tired at the moment so that may be why I don't quite get what you're asking. If you're taking both the characters then surely neither of them are dead, so there was no funeral for anyone.

Plus the universe isn't starting with a ridiculous amount of backstory behind everyone. Say for example, Deadpool. In order to make sure he had all of his powers you'd know that he'd gone through Weapon X and got involved with Loki (or someone equally god-like. I think in my incarnation of him last time I used Death, whom he loved during his Weapon X origins) but is then fresh out of that. He hasn't toured for innumerable years with Cable and the shit with Agent X hasn't gone down, and every other little miscellaneous adventure he's gone on.

Or at least that's how it was last time, I assume it'd be the same again. If we're rewriting histories, who wants to rewrite, what is it... 60 years of comic adventures for most of the core X-men?

My general idea was to pretty much follow James's canon early history as well as I could while keeping his age about right, and some other stuff to fit in with the world, so James would pretty much be as he is. John however, in the main canon is pretty dull; he was apparently killed off because of his obviously similar personality to Wolverine. Anyhow, there's a cooler, more mystic version of him out there, and the plan is/was to have his [supposed?] death make him a more like that.

I mainly asked the question because I wanted to know if he could be actually dead [favourite of the Thunderbird, perhaps? Not sure on that, might have to wiki myself up a little Native American mythology for that to work;] or just having faked his death for whatever reason. Either way, I'll think of something.

Ah, I gotcha. You wanna know if you can put in his history that he died and came back to life at some point? Should be ok, guess we'd have to see it laid out in the app before a decision is rendered, but if Lits doesn't have a problem with it I won't either.

The application form is up now btw peeps, so get working on 'em.

Its ok to mention Nightcrawlers foster mother right? Because I remember last time that we couldnt name specific characters in our histories because a person who might later control that certain character might not want to be associated with our character

The reservation list is up. There's a rule there about having to have an app up for the character at least a week after reserving it, disregard it for now since it's probably been longer then a week since people started reserving, but once we get started that rule will be in place.

Can anyone think of a decent rep for Warpath? 7'2, long black hair, no beard and young are the criteria.

Not to butt in on this or anything, but..

How is it that this one topic has managed to get more activity than the entire board combined. I find it bewildering that there seems more interest in an upcoming X-Men board than on roleplaying matches or general OOC activity.
And just for the record, I don't like X-Men. I'm biased.

Because a simple 5 second repsonse is easier then a 2 page rp?

*has already RPed and am currently wondering if her opponent will do the same*

I'd love to work on the match but I'm not entirely sure what Horrorcore Rules are, unless it's just a fancy name for a Hardcore Rules match. *shrugs*

Now's your chance to make something up! Quick, before people find out!

Plus, on a side note...sort of, I really don't mind the X-Men. I liked the cartoon and movies, but not the comics, really. I thought they talked too much from the ones I read during the action sequences. Probably the wrong reason to say this, but I don't find it too realistic. There, I said it.

Party on,
Joe.

Follow Pet's Twitter if you don't mind...you know, Pet being Pet. Also, she tends to mention it a fair bit. (NSFW)

also, extensive dialogue while in the middle of combat is a requirement for being a superhero.

And not to mention, if your name is Deadpool, you are required to break the fourth wall every now and then.

Isn't that the point of reading comics? To escape reality.

It's actaully listed on his Wikipedia page as one of his powers.
