[align=center]CHARACTER INFORMATION[/align] [align=center] [/align][align=center]Erick Elías[/align]BASIC INFORMATION CANON OR ORIGINAL: Canon AFFILIATION: Brotherhood FULL NAME: Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis CODENAME: Avalanche NICKNAMES: Dom, Dominic. However, his aliases are known to be the following: Dominic Janos Petros, Petros, Jon Bloom, Dominic Szilard, Lance Alvers CURRENT AGE: 29 DATE OF BIRTH: April 19 MARITAL STATUS: Single. He had an ex who claimed common law marriage. She really was a joke. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight. BASE OF OPERATIONS: Brotherhood. TIME AT INSTITUTE: Please, the Institute is for the weak. REGISTERED WITH SHIELD? “God, no.” That’s what he claims, but being a member of the Brotherhood makes you kinda popular with SHIELD and it doesn’t matter how many aliases you have, they seem to know them all, which is rather annoying. HOMETOWN: Crete. Greece! KNOWN RELATIVES: Idola Petrakis - mother - deceased Kyrillos Petrakis - father - deceased Ocnus Petrakis - uncle - currently living in Morocco enjoying the Petrakis fortune PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HEIGHT: 5’11 BUILD: Lean EYES: Light brown HAIR: Brown DISTINGUISHING MARKS: None. CLOTHING STYLE: It all depends on the situation. When relaxing he’s not opposed to jeans and a fitted t-shirt to show off his arms. However, he will strut a suit or change up his wardrobe if a job calls for it. It’s all about blending in to him and looking his very best. UNIFORM: He favors athletic gear and army boots for practical reasons to decrease the amount of sweat on his body. It’s nothing particularly fancy unless you consider the name brand, Under Armor. He likes the chino straight leg in black and a fitted long sleeved shirt, unless he knows the temperature will be hot and he’ll exchange it for a short sleeve shirt. Deep down inside, he finds uniforms to be pretty ridiculous, so he keeps his as simple as possible. He did the whole vest and helmet thing once and he felt more like a clown than anything else and found the extra weight to be distracting. He’ll take his chances if he gets shot. POWERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Basically, and despite the fact that his codename doesn’t really match up with his powers, what Dominic can do is control seismic waves. It may appear to some that he is literally creating seismic waves from his hands, but that is incorrect or otherwise you could probably just chop off his hands and call it a day. He has control over fault and intraplate earthquakes. With fault earthquakes he has the ability to hone reverse and strike-slip faults allowing him to create a magnitude of an 8 on the richter scale. When controlling intraplate earthquakes it allows him to have greater control over an area extended to about a 75 - 100 mile radius, but the magnitude of the earthquake is not as powerful and tends to fall below 5 on the richter scale. As he is able to sense and manipulate seismic waves it means he knows when a natural earthquake is about to occur. While he may not know the exact magnitude of the potential earthquake he can estimate it, depending on how his body responds as more seismic energy would mean a more powerful earthquake. He can in these instances manipulate naturally occurring earthquakes, but it takes a lot of energy from him and thus he avoids it when he can as he is literally fighting against nature, and Dominic no matter what he believes isn’t a god. He is able to slightly increase or decrease the magnitude of a naturally occurring earthquake by a point or two, but as it wipes him out he tends to not mess with mother nature. He does however, have an easier time managing aftershocks as the seismic energy tends to be lower in scale, but it doesn’t mean he can make an aftershock into a earthquake that would register on the richter scale as a ten. (Thereby forcing all previous earthquakes to be foreshocks.) The effect is still tiring though, but not nearly as tiring as it is when manipulating the original earthquake that created the aftershocks. WEAKNESS: Once he’s tired out, he needs to rest, otherwise his body will shut down. Though, that isn’t all, even if Dominic swears there are no other weaknesses to be concerned about. Despite his ability, he does not have the ability to affect organic material, meaning he can’t create an earthquake and disrupt a human or mutant body. He is also without his powers, very human, meaning he can be taken down with knives, guns, excessive strength, and psychic attacks. Generally overpowered mutants can take him down and laugh the whole way, so he is technically no match against say a Magneto or Monet. Though, he would never admit to that either. He’d tell you he’s super strong and many other fancy lies, because in his mind for others to know his weakness is a major weakness! The main drawback of his ability is that since he is manipulating seismic waves it limits the magnitude of earthquakes that he can create depending on the fault line. It’s unlikely he can ever create a magnitude 10 earthquake in New York City or Texas, but his probabilities increase near places such as Japan and California. What makes his power seem so destructive is that even with an earthquake that reads as a 4 or 5 on the richter scale, it’s not as if most urban cities outside of fault lines have infrastructures to withstand these earthquakes making them prone to collapse or “avalanche” as Dominic would tell you. He also doesn’t have precise control over where the seismic waves go, once shifts in the plates occur he can control them to a certain degree, but the larger the magnitude the less control he has, meaning, if you’re standing next to him, it’s probably best not to be in the general direction of where his hands are pointing at. He can’t promise you won’t be taken under. Lastly, as his powers tend to be on the destructive side, they’re not your everyday sort of mutation. (Unlike those wretched, telepaths and telekinetics. They get to have all the fun.) Cities, states, and countries tend to get angry when someone destroys the infrastructure of their general municipality. People can be pretty unreasonable knowing their taxes have gone up, due to major large scale damage and the police really do like to track you down if you damaged major portions of their city. It’s not that Avalanche will hesitate to use his powers. Obviously, he’s used them before, but he won’t just employ his powers to win some sort of male pissing contest. That’s too risky. If he’s going to prison, it better be worth it. PERSONALITY Dom is a complex man, even if he claims otherwise. (He’s a bit of a liar for self preservation purposes.) To simply call him evil is to not know him at all and it’s quite frankly lazy and just an easy label that strangers apply to him. Yes, he has a criminal record. Yes, he’s hurt and killed people in the past, but despite it all he truly believes he has the best intentions at the end of the day. His morals tend to bend with his philosophical views. He is willing to kill someone for the cause as that is his major motivator in life: The Mutant Cause. (Notice the caps. It’s that important to him.) Now, this might make him appear to be a bit of a hypocrite to others, as someone who claims to do what is right, while embezzling money isn’t exactly your standard hero. His philosophy towards the Mutant Cause tends to have a Malcolm X feel to it (a revolutionary he respects by the way), because he believes violence and action are sometimes necessary evils in order to achieve the goals one is after. What this boils down to is that if sent on a mission, Dominic could conceivably kill a Senator Kelly with no regrets if it meant saving mutant lives, but to simply kidnap, maim and kill a person for pleasure is fairly perverse to him. He doesn’t enjoy killing and those that do, he finds them to be a bit “fucked up”. (Dominic tends to have a bit of a cursing problem.) He’s also pragmatic when it comes to the cause. While he has no respect for those crazy fools out there bringing unwanted attention to the Mutant Cause, he wouldn’t hesitate using those same people if it benefitted the cause. Speaking of the cause, Dominic believes that mutants have been systematically discriminated against and forced into situations where mutants are forced to break the law causing them to get arrested. He sees the prison complex as a money machine and things like the mutant registration act as overt and covert ways to commit genocide against a group of people. He enjoys politics and tends to be on the liberal side of everything. Though it’s best not to get Dom riled up about mutant politics or he will talk your ear off. Speaking of the cause, he is loyal and will show respect to his leader, but doesn’t prefer to take up that role as he rather be part of the action, than the planning. It’s simply a matter of preference. (Plus he’s slightly aggressive and as a leader, you could probably expect a lot of screaming, cursing, belittling, and beatings. It’s not a great idea to make him a leader as he tends to be a bit militaristic.) As loyalty is important to him, he wouldn’t question or belittle a superior, but if he sincerely questioned a mission he would talk to the person privately to voice his concerns. This does mean however, that if he finds the leadership to be lacking, he will walk away and be more vocal in front of others. He takes the Mutant Cause seriously, and doesn’t have time for terrible plans that don’t accomplish much except jail time. He needs to be able to respect the person in charge. He has walked away several times from the Brotherhood, when he found the group to be unstable. (Which may cause some to question his loyalty, but his loyalty to the cause is far greater than his loyalty to a group of people at the end of the day.) Socially, he can be sarcastic and a bit funny, but he’s not a stand up comedian. He has an over inflated ego, which causes him to think he’s the best at everything, but nothing nearing narcissism. It’s just a healthy dose of confidence. (Another flaw, he can be highly judgemental.) He likes to be charming and is a bit of a womanizer. Ok, honestly he is a womanizer and sexist too. (He doesn’t see the sexist bit at all.) However, due to his political beliefs he will only hook up with mutant ladies. Human ladies are fairly ugly to him. (No amount of Miss Universe or Playboy spreads of human models can convince him otherwise.) He may not have received the best education, but he has no tolerance for stupidity. At his age his temper has not necessarily mellowed out, but it’s under control when compared to his early twenties. He doesn’t consider himself to have many friends, but he can get along well with others as that’s been a survival trait he’s learned over the years-when to be friendly and charming and when to be a prick. He also has a love for alcohol, but he prefers the role of bartender as opposed to alcoholic, though with that talent he has built a tolerance for alcohol and can probably drink most people under the table, except for actual alcoholics. Some quirks you should know: He’s a huge Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down fan and goes to SOAD concerns when he can. Damn Rage for breaking up. He hates Audioslave, otherwise known as Rage Against the Soundgarden. Had he gone to college he would have majored in history focusing on social justice and Mutant Civil Rights. He probably is one of the most well versed people in that area of history. He’s also learned a lot about seismic waves along the way and has even visited centers focusing on the study and prediction of earthquakes, which isn’t the brightest thing he could do if people recognized him, but his curiosity is greater than his need to be safe. He is fluent in English, Greek, and Spanish. In Cali you either learn Chinese or Spanish. He’s a decent con artist and is adept at committing a variety of crimes ranging from petty theft to murder. His services are only offered for the greater good. He won’t just kill the mayor, because you paid him too. He will steal almost anything and transport almost anything if money is tight. Overall, he’s a serious guy with several flaws who can reveal his lighter side under the right circumstances. HISTORY: PRE-APOCALYPSE Dominic is a native of Greece and at the start of his life it seemed as if though the odds were against him. He was born to a wealthy family, but they were caught up in the 1988 murders and kidnapping by the terrorist group 17n. There were hundreds killed and kidnapped and not enough police or military force as they were thinned out due to 17n’s actions at the time. Dominic became another nameless victim, but watching his parents get shot and killed and later his kidnappers shot point blank range by the police, changed him. He developed a higher tolerance for violence, which would make him more predisposed to fighting in the future. Dominic’s inheritance was lost during this time and it was unclear to him whether an uncle manipulated the system to take full ownership of the money or if the money was embezzled by the terrorist group 17n who had targeted wealthier families connected with political affiliations whose views contradicted theirs. Over the years he has come to believe it was his family and not 17n that took his family inheritance from him as they fell from the face of the earth after his parent’s death. He became part of the foster system in Greece and was essentially lost in a sea of parentless children. As a teen he began to develop many bad habits that helped ensure his survival. He fought. He lied. He stole. As you can imagine finding a permanent home was never in his cards. His power first manifested when he was being jumped. Sadly, he was losing this fight as he was being beaten in an alleyway. (The story he tells today was of him able to take on two guys with ease, when it was more like four against one. They found out he was the guy stealing money from their wallets and lockers, so he wasn’t a particularly popular guy.) The buildings around them started to shake as he was face down gripping the earth wanting the beating to stop and it did. Thankfully no one was hurt, but aside from being a foster kid, poor, and basically an outcast he was a mutant too. He ended up hiding his mutant powers, but because of the increased fights and bullying from other students, he dropped out of high school. That didn’t deter him. He became involved in rather shady practices and became more involved with the mutant rights issue as what he went through in school marked him once again. The two major events that defined his life were the death of his parents by 17n and his own persecution at school. He became interested in fighting for a greater cause and was told that America was ground zero for mutant rights laws. If crippling mutant rights laws could be passed there, more stringent versions would be passed everywhere else, so he used his street smarts and a bit of money pinching in order to legally immigrate to the US. Legally. That was a deal breaker from him as he didn’t want to be deported as crossing the border illegally from Greece wasn’t exactly an option. He may have lied on his application and claimed to be an expert in seismology. Heck, he predicted a few earthquakes in California, did he not? He lived a life of petty crimes, but to hell with it, because he was a citizen, baby! And that’s what aliases were for! In order to hide your crimes. Police men and their silly DNA. He destroys DNA. (Ok, no he can’t, but he likes to think he’s an expert at getting away from the police and has convinced himself his powers help remove physical evidence of his existence, despite it not being rooted in fact or logic. We can blame this on having watched one too many episodes of Bones and Law & Order.) During this time he learned how to create forgeries, finesse his theft skills, and learn how to operate a variety of guns. Luck happened to be on his side as there were many riots and terrorist groups sprouting out in various areas of Greece during the recession that hit the country. Many government buildings were attacked and as a result most of his history prior to his activities with the Brotherhood are seen as a mystery. If it hadn’t been for the recession and riots Dominic’s past wouldn’t be so shrouded in mystery and those looking for him would have learned early on his name really isn’t Dominic Petros. Mystique recruited him into the Brotherhood, after a display of his powers. He was trying to topple a federal building at the time, because hello symbolism! Gotta take down the man! He was around 21 at the time and they had to contend with his temper and willingness to just walk away, whenever he was upset at the decisions made within the organization. This behavior did not make him a prized BH member, but hey he can destroy stuff with his powers at the end of the day. He was also becoming a fine criminal and really believed in the cause even if he did have hissy fits or what he calls “conflict of interest” or “change in direction.” DURING APOCALYPSE (April 7th through April 12th, 2009) Apocalypse changed him. Completely. It messed with his firm ideas about life, mutant rights, and quite frankly, why the hell he was contending with the police and other federal agents all the damn time. When Amelia abandoned the Brotherhood and became one of those freaky ass horsemen it became a turning point for Dom. He had never at that point ever hurt a mutant. He just didn’t believe in it, but at that juncture he realized some of his highest ideals were flawed. Some mutants simply needed to be taken out for the greater good of the Mutant Cause. And worse, Apocalypse could have done so much, but insanity mixed with dictatorship like skills is enough to make even a human frightening. Mix that with Apocalypse’s insane skills and well the man was a frightening beast. (No, he will never ever ever admit that Apocalypse scared the hell out of him as it’s his worst nightmare come true. A mutant turning on their own. Hell, even the X-Losers aren’t that bad, just confused and uninformed about the blatant discrimination against their kind and the proactive stance needed, which the Brotherhood supplies.) There was even a truce, a truce I tell you, but it seemed at the time nothing was a match for Apocalypse, though Avalanche supported Magneto’s decision to join forces with the X-Men and fought during those five days. When he finally had time to rest and reflect it really was causing him to have something akin to a midlife crisis. Everything he believed in was starting to crash around him. He was even working side by side with the X-Men. He was in the West Coast at the time the Eye of Horus opened. He was physically and mentally wiped at this point as he had overexerted the use of his power. It was shameful, but it would have been more damning had he stood by and did nothing. Yeah, the world was saved, but at what cost? Now that his entire world had been shaken up, he needed the time to regroup and get away from everyone so he could determine what mattered and what was simply silly dreams and wishes on his part. POST-APOCALYPSE Dominic left the Brotherhood after the Apocalypse to get his bearings. He needed to get away and figure out his place in the world and deal with the emotional scars of Apocalypse. (He’s the type that will need space if stressed too much.) There was naturally a whole lot of drinking and reckless behavior including a time he was locked up for public intoxication as he threatened to destroy all of California with an earthquake. The police thought he was a funny drunk. He wasn’t really kidding, but thankfully that idea never came to fruition, even if in theory he could take down California. He ended up getting out and later they found out he was a wanted fugitive. The name he gave? Lance Alvers. He spent the next few months after Apocalypse being a drunk and a partier until he finally had enough of his party lifestyle. Again, he’s not formally educated, but the guy has a sharp mind. He opened up a bar in California on the outskirts of the Bay Area. It’s a hole in the wall bar known for creating many an alcoholic in there, as that’s what brings in the money. (He’s still practical and the man has bills he has to pay.) PURIFIERS God, he hated the purifiers. The news in West Virginia and New York City’s newly elected mayor left him crabbier than normal. You can’t get rid of mutants and send them straight to hell or whatever ridiculous plan they had. It was basic human, no mutant civil rights being violated once again and dammit, Dom would not be in the sidelines this time. He closed up shop and claimed to be going on vacation. He was returning to New York. And he did so the day the X-Corps complex was attacked. Dom stayed to not simply watch, but protect and rid the world of any human out to maim and destroy innocent mutants. Mutants that were not out causing harm. Mutants that just wanted to live normal lives. He went back to his old ways and managed to find a few weapons of his own, though his best weapon had always been his power. On the Night of Broken Glass he had never seen so many people killed at the hands of cowards and never had he been so frustrated with his power set. He couldn’t just destroy Mutant Town. He had to be precise, deliberate, and it was possible innocent mutants were caught, but he used all the years of training with the Brotherhood to help aid the fight. War he knew to be nasty and vile, but for every mutant cut down, he did his best to bring down two Purifiers. For any woman or child brought down by the hands of a Purifier, he made it his mission to make them suffer just a little longer than necessary. That would be the vengeance of the fallen. Annoyed at the dome he wanted out. Locking people in for their protection was violating their civil rights. These people had the right to walk around and be free no matter what DNA markers they had. Then came the suicide bomb at the Xavier School. Dominic found his way back to the Brotherhood at that time and participated in the triage, helping wherever he could. There were simply too many dead. Was it possible to have an ethical kill list, because so many that lost their lives at the hands of the purifiers weighed heavy on Dom. Instead of returning to the Sanctuary to hear Magneto’s decree of war, Dom went home where he felt he belonged. He knew he would help, whenever they needed his assistance, but the bloodshed and losses were enough to once again make him question. Was he on the right side of history? Did mutants have a place in this world? He sure hoped so. SKRULLS He had every intention to stay away from the Brotherhood, X-Men and all that other women drama, when the Skrulls came to make his life more difficult than necessary. No one could avoid the rumors about what had been occurring at the X-Factor office (and they would remain rumors to him until he confirmed it firsthand.) There were too many deaths, too many strange incidents that it propelled Dominic out of hiding so to speak. He was on the precipice of a major decision. It would have been momentous, would he act or would he walk away, but his choice was taken away from him when California fell under the complacency wave. He fought anything standing in the way of his “leader”, though in the back of his mind he had a sense something was wrong. Didn’t he not want to be involved? Hadn’t he not come to a final decision on whether to choose fight versus flight? Heroes shot to the sky and the cure was airborne, but instead of appreciating the fact he was no longer under a spell, it left him angry. His choices were taken, he followed some odd thing blindly, and had he just acted sooner, perhaps things wouldn’t have been as bad. Maybe, he couldn’t have saved people, but he knew at least he could have gone down fighting. He told himself he’d act the next time some crazy event occurred. CURRENT HISTORY Dom felt perhaps he was done with Mutant Rights, but over the years he found himself slowly entrenched back in that world again. His bar tends to have a mixture of mutants and pro-mutant humans (he still can’t stand human ladies, though). Many come to his bar either in search of forgeries and ids, assistance, or advice on being a mutant in an anti-mutant society as he finally found an audience that would listen to him. He helps mutants out however he can, but most would be surprised to know of his violent past. They find him to be a cantankerous bartender not a former terrorist. He keeps threatening he will leave the bar one day to help the mutant rights movement and let someone take over, but he’s been saying that for almost three/four years now and no one really believes him. However, he feels unsettled with all of the events as of late. He wants to return to the Brotherhood, but he has yet to take that first step. More important, does the Brotherhood even want him back? SAMPLE RP POST: Another tiring night at the bar. The woman in front of him, Sheila, was getting plastered, which was good for the wallet, but he hated pretending he cared about girly crap. She’d be a pretty mutant if she didn’t talk so much. Wings. Pink hair. Curves in all the right places. But, the girl’s troubles began when she decided to date outside her kind. Meaning: The girl was dating a human bastard. He didn’t get it. Why date a human? He could put up with the humans that came to his bar or those that understood the constructs created by oppression and not only white privilege, but human privilege, but dating one? That was just absurd. Bawling, she asked for another shot of tequila and feeling the sting of a burgeoning headache Dom also took a shot with her. He took off the sunglasses she wore in the bar. A part of him suspected, but he didn’t want to push her too far. He needed to confirm on his own what he felt humans were capable of. Senseless violence against mutants. Sheila flinched once his hands neared her face. Slowly taking off the sunglasses he saw what she so desperately tried to hide. A splatter of purple and black bruises. “He did this to you?” “No, I tripped.” “Of course,” Dom replied pretending to believe the lie. “Listen, tonight we’re going to get fucked up. We’re going to forget exes,” and he still had a crazy ex named Heather out there somewhere, “and be proud of who we are.” “Okay.” He sighed internally and gave her another shot. Tonight he would be busy. He slowly drew the information from her. Jason. Oakland. Near the Ikea, off the highway 580 on Hubbard Street. One of those, “ugly houses,” as she described it. Ugly was relative as to women it could mean anything from a dilapidated house to a house with the wrong paint color. It was however, the only two story house on the street. Now that was a useful detail. After the bar closed up and the regulars either walked home, drove home (not his problem), or called a taxi, he was on a mission. Driving into the Bay Area he searched for the exit near Ikea and was forced to do a quick turn around until he found Hubbard Street. He parked a few houses down and thought, Oakland, you fine bitch. I’m gonna have to fuck this street up. Breaking in was easy. It’s always easy in Oakland as humans never knew how to protect themselves in this area. Even those in Berkeley were careless with their safety, especially the UC Berkeley crowd. He quietly moved towards the second floor and opened the door to Jason’s room. He sat on a chair and just stared. Bored of this intel (it didn’t take long to find his wallet) he laughed at the surgical gloves he put on. Dom threw the alarm clock at Jason’s head causing him to scream bloody murder and wake up. “Oh my God, take anything. Anything!” Great, he hit women and he was a little bitch too. “Naw man, I’m here so we can chat,” he said in a friendly American tone. “My name is Lance.” “You look more like a Jose.” Dom showed his gun. He had no plan to use it, but props were generally helpful. “Leonel in Spanish.” Not true in the slightest. “Leonel Alvaro.” Another alias. Dammit, I look like a Lance Alvers. “We need to talk.” There were rules that Dom understood and respected. Women were there to either be fucked and dumped, fucked and later married, or saved. That’s it. And the one thing you never did was hit a woman. Even a bitch that deserved it. Unless she was an X-Lady and hit one of your BH Ladies, and then loyalty came first. That was completely fair. Men beating up on women for the hell of it were stupid. Women were pretty useful, even if they couldn’t fight and most of them were no longer taught how to actually cook. Beating them meant you wanted to get a beat down yourself. A human touching a mutant meant they wanted more than just a lesson. “You see, you hit my friend Sheila.” More of an obnoxious customer, but only a detail. A small lie. “And I don’t like it when my friends get hit." Something sparked in the man’s eyes once Dom mentioned Sheila. “What are you going to do about it?” Where had the bravery even come from? Wasn't he a scared little boy just seconds earlier? God, people were so stupid and annoying. He was definitely putting on a front of bravery, because of the name he dropped. “Well...first I have to make my point clear.” The house began to shake. It was nothing large. A small earthquake, barely a blip on the richter scale. Maybe a 2.5 if Dom was being generous in his description. “I’m gonna take down your motherfucking house, bury you alive, and then laugh as the police are too busy worried about the damage at IKEA.” He stressed the last word as if it were an insult. “And I’m gonna watch you cry. Cry like a girl. Because you deserve it. If you survive, great. I’ll come back and kill you if you talk. If you die, even better. But let’s get one thing straight. If you end up surviving the night, you will never touch another woman again. Or I’ll find you. And next time I’ll just shoot you point blank in the head.” He got up and began to walk down the stairs before shouting, “Have your cell phone. That’s what you get for being cheap. Get a landline next time.” It wasn’t a devastating earthquake, not even one to worry about, but dammit he could predict humans. They all scurried to check the structural damage to IKEA of all places and maybe a few minutes too late, they thought about that side street named Hubbard. No house was damaged extensively, but Dominic later learned Jason did the right thing. He killed himself. The newspapers called it an act out of love. He would have described it as justice. A few weeks later when Sheila would return to the bar she’d comment on the demise of her ex and Dominic would barely raise an eyebrow. She was still shocked that he killed himself. She reasoned he must have felt guilty about the fight they had. Women and their ridiculous emotions and sensitivities. “Yeah, really weird. Let’s have a shot,” he told her “In honor of the poor bastard.” And for the idiot having made the right decision. |

Hey, just to note before this is reviewed fully, but you're missing out the Purifiers and the Skrulls sections. It's fine if he had no direct involvement with either plot (although everyone was influenced by the Skrull complacency wave) but we at least need to know what he was doing at that time, as missing those sections cuts out two years. Please add them in when you get the chance and if you need help, you're welcome to ask :) |

I will add it after work. I'm going to get it up today, because I don't want a technical error on my part to be mistaken for a WIP. Thank you for the clarification. I'll make a note when it's up, most likely after 6 pm central time. |

Don't worry, for the most part this looks very good and detailed. Just don't be afraid to include yourself and don't shy away from things like giving him a family. It's fine if no one in game knows about them, it's just character context. It's also worth noting that SHIELD registration works two ways: one is voluntary registration and the second is when persons are known to them through criminal activities, esp. with the Brotherhood. But don't worry, we're not going to take this down or anything and just add the two sections when you're able to. Thanks. |

Okay, added the history sections and involved him in the action, but hopefully the retcon of him being there (when he was in limbo, probably drunk somewhere, I don't know :p ) is appropriate. Thank you for the other suggestions. Those were edited as well. |
