Cal Rankin | Mimic

[om_mimic]

Name: Cal Rankin

Current state of mind: right this second? A little off, because EVERYTHING THAT'S JUST HAPPENED. But he's Cal, he'll repress and bounce back when he allows himself to get some sleep, probably some time tomorrow.

Places likely to be found: the basketball court, the sky, his room, the gym, Angie's room, the medlab, and anywhere and everywhere during classes since he tends to mimic Jamie to attend all the things. The music room too, especially now that he's gonna be a proper rock star.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): he still wants to mimic all of your mutations, you guys. Also to talk new people into BASKETBALL.

Noriko Ashida | Surge

[om_surge]

Name: Noriko Ashida

Current state of mind: Right now, really fucking angry at herself for having been in NYC. But she's proud of the team that went in and got it done. You guys rock. And more generally - she's looking forward to being 18. Because LXQ. (Ugh that name she still loves and hates it.)

Places likely to be found: her room, the gym, outside running, the kitchen, the rec room. In NYC, in squats or at Stark Tower.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): going vigilante with Clint when they learn Abby was nabbed. But yes bring on anybody that wants to join JVX - although like with Santo, she's likely to want you to work on your powers some before accepting you.

[om_red]

LOLLLLL

Nick Gleason | Wolf Cub

[om_wolfcub]

Name: Nicholas (Nick) Gleason

Current state of mind: Tentatively optimistic.

Places likely to be found: Rec room, class, kitchen, his room.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): I'd like for him to start opening up to people and meeting some of the "outdoor kids" like Laura and Inu-yasha and them. Eventually, a plot or something like it is going to come up where he's going to be taken to trial for what happened in his history, and it's going to be publicized. So there's the proceedings and fallout from that.

Re: Tony Stark | Iron Man

[om_agent]

So much yelling. IN the, not raising a voice but still way.

Santo Vaccarro | Rockslide

[om_rockslide]

Name: Santo Vaccarro

Current state of mind: AWESOME. Awesome is a state of mind and Santo lives it every day. But more seriously, Santo is pretty freaking optimistic all the time.

Places likely to be found: Gym, cafeteria, pestering Vic, watching Jay like a hawk, and maybe occasionally performing ridiculous feats of strength outside of the school.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): Santo needs to learn a bit more about his powers. He hasn't yet learned that he can re-form his entire body yet, and that requires him to be destroyed entirely, which could definitely be done during a plot, if someone had an idea with me. I'm plot hungry, so sue me.

A. John Howlett | Daken

[om_daken]

Name: Akihiro John Howlett

Current state of mind: Pessimistic as all hell. Seriously. John's getting to the point of being really difficult to play, honestly, because of his mindset, but there's nothing really he can do to help himself; John's 99.9% (repeating of course) certain he's destined to become the bad guy, and everything at the school (in his experience) has reinforced this. Which is nobody's fault; it's just that nobody gets John, because he's near-impossible to understand.

Places likely to be found: Gym, X-Factor's offices, X-Factor's gym, his room, outdoors training with Midnighter and Laura.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): Honestly, John's getting harder and harder to keep playable with the things I want him to be doing. He already has a seed in his mind for an OM-analogue of X-Force (which isn't good that Daken's coming up with the idea) and/or an OM-analogue of Daken's Brotherhood (and again, not good). John needs to find a niche, and X-Factor is helping with that to some degree, but it's not helping fast enough. Either way, John is not likely long for this school (or maybe even this game), but I do have some plot ideas that may or may not be slightly redeeming for him. Anyone who's interested in these ideas can shoot me an email. HINT: These plot ideas involve Sabretooth and his Marauders (probably not all of them, just the ones who could be easily sold as mutants), and Romulus.

Re: Laura Kinney | Talon

[om_daken]

I for one welcome the righteous beating that Laura will deliver to Daken. And let's face it, part of Daken really wants it, too.

[om_quicksilver]

Pietro is preening and glad that he has someone so worthy to whom he can pass the torch :D

I am gonna try to think about some ghosty stuff, but either via email or in a log, Johnny Allerdyce totally wants to congratulate Felix on his FINE tale!

Re: Clint Barton | Hawkeye

[om_quicksilver]

... oh Clint.

Obviously there must be wild party celebration time for him and Pietro. And anyone else not busy arguing/screwing someone else in the aftermath. But yes :DDD

Oh and Pietro is gonna feel REALLY bad that his association with Abby is responsible for her being targeted because WHOOPS NOT THE RIGHT GREEN-HAIRED SISTER so idek if Clint will know about that but if he does... could be a thing?

Re: Arthur | Escher

[om_quicksilver]

Harry always has time and use for sketchy and machiavellian. Not sure how that works with Arthur just now but I'm sure we could think of something? >.>

Re: Jack Harkness | Captain

[om_quicksilver]

TORCHGATE 13 BEST THING EVER :DDDD

... just wanted to say that.

Re: Wanda Maximoff | Scarlet Witch

[om_quicksilver]

Pietro is appropriately terrified at the prospect.

Re: Molly Hayes | Princess Powerful

[om_quicksilver]

Pietro is entirely prepared to become her this-verse Tommy. (Since, you know. He's pretty much just Tommy but with sparkles, lbh.)

Re: Kitty Pryde | Shadowcat

[om_quicksilver]

We had some vague idea of Pietro inviting them both over for some sort of absurd musical night with anything but wine coolers! Once Illyana's stuff is all settled maybe, and Kitty has a free weekend?

Re: Illyana Rasputin | Magik

[om_quicksilver]

Harry is in the market for bad choices currently as well so. I will be in contact >.>

Pietro Maximoff

[om_quicksilver]

Name: Pietrooooooooo

Current state of mind: Busy, possibly for the first time in his life. While his transition to publicly known mutant was fast and furious (what isn't, with him?), he was doing really well with it... except for one thing. That one thing being his crazy codependent twin situation. Now that Wanda is gonna go public--in SHIFT, of all places... honestly, shit is kinda perfect in Pietroland.

He has a great apartment, he's gonna go to college for a thing he actually wants to do, he has a hot boyfriend and a cuddly cat (not Sharon, but also Sharon!), Daddy Erik loves him... hey. It's good to be Pietro, right now.

Places likely to be found: ... where is he NOT to be found? It's Pietro. Though he does spend a lot of time in their apartment at the Stark Brownstone, he's also at Xavier's for classes every weekday, at random places in random cities for meetings with potential advertisers, etc etc.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): He just had his big coming out party, and now that he's going to start doing some Avengery stuff, I'll probably just stick to that for the moment! He's basically just getting ready for life outside Xavier's... which is not at all to say he won't be back to poke at people, obviously.

He's always available for SHIFT things, and will want to crow a bit in re an upcoming plot thing, I'm sure.

Victor Borkowski

[om_anole]

Name: Victor Borkowski

Current state of mind: Generally very positive. Things are going well, his first ever mission with JVX went pretty well and while, yeah, he's very worried for Nico right now he's mostly in a very good place. Whilst he still has self esteem wobbles they are far fewer and less intense than before and he's much better for it. Niggling crush on Nico aside, he's found himself in a slightly odd situation where they aren't dating but they snuggle a lot and Jay stays the night and he basically fulfills the relation shippy duties that Sirius can't. Intimacy without the dramas.

Places likely to be found: his room, baking in the kitchen, the drama studio, music rooms, being pestered by Santo, danger room training. When it's warmer he's often found out in the grounds playing frisbee, basketball or generally basking.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up):

I haven't got big plans. I'd love to get Victor off the campus a bit more. He's been very hermited for a long time but he's no excuse anymore now that the image inducers have longer times. I don't think he'd yet ready for a proper relationship but the thing with Jay is really building up his confidence so I wouldn't dismiss romance in the future. Beyond that I'm very open to suggestions

Roberto da Costa

[om_sunspot]

Name: Bobby da Costa

Current state of mind: Good and improving day by day. He's in regular therapy, he's working hard to confront his traumas instead of his past of bottling things up and mismanaging. He's working towards join LXQ in the future and generally bettering himself. He's not sure where he wants to be post graduation but he's keeping options open including football, his father's business, LXQ and potentially apply to be another language TA

Places likely to be found: JM's room, his room when Inu-yasha isn't there, the gym, the library, rec room,

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up):
Bobby got a bit isolated last year, he's doing his best to reverse this so anyone who wants to hang is more than welcome. Jack and Steve J are already lending emotional support and bonding time. Mostly he's moving forward, he's going to fail at regaining his football career but may be ending up with sports gear sponsorship/modelling things. No huge ideas, offers and suggestions very welcome.

Sirius Black

[om_padfoot]

Name: Sirius Black

Current state of mind: um...confused? Shell-shocked. He's falling for Jay and in denial about it because he's scared of how vulnerable it'd make him. So he's insisting he just cares about the other boy and they are very much not exclusive, ok? Other than that things are going well got him publicly and business-wise and he's his usually bouncy goofy self with most. Privately he's couple his US schooling with UK exams to apply for Oxford and Cambridge 'the proper way' and so he's stretching himself a little.

Places likely to be found: his room, Jay's room, rec room, the woods/grounds, New York, Salem, library doing coursework,

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up):

Sirius would like to make it clear that he's definitely not in a relationship and definitely free for hook up fun.

Sirius one accepted is going to defer from university for a year to test his other options. He might apply for a teaching position, he's fairly sure he's not got the personality for it though and might just put forward for squad work along with his celeb stuff. He's been modeling a lot and is pondering putting together a modeling project with mutants, possibly if he got enough interest he's pondering becoming a modelling agent helping mutants get into the modeling and fashion world by abusing all of his contacts. Depends on interest, of course.
Also Padfoot is a great therapy dog, for anyone who needs snuggled.
Any suggestions will be welcomed and who knows one day Sirius might be able to settle down and be a boyfriend.

Re: Victor Borkowski

[om_icarus]

Jay and Victor are inverse friends with benefits.

[om_icarus]

Name: Joshua "Jay" Guthrie

Current state of mind: Jay is still struggling to overcome the damage done to him by trauma in his recent past. He has the benefit of a lot of psychological help, but he's a teenager and he doesn't always listen to his doctors. He's really latched on to Sirius, and things are starting to go a lot better there. I'm pretty sure he's doing a good job of being friendly and well liked around the school (though some of that's going slowly because a lot of the band-related logs have to be done in order).

Places likely to be found: Music room, rec room. Come spring, in a gazebo outside with his guitar. His room, Vic's room, Sirius' room.

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): Once the band finishes being set up, he's going to do everything he can to make it a happy and successful little family unit. I'd like to explore some ways he can use his accidental new quasi-fame to his advantage. And always if anyone just wants to hang out with Jay, hit me up. He's a very agreeable guy, if you're not plucking at his particular trigger strings.

[om_pixie]

Name: Megan Gwynn

Current state of mind: Happy. She is so excited to meet a whole bunch of new mutants in freaking America! And she is not at all sad and missing Wales or her friends or anything like that. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Places likely to be found: At this point, she's kind of wandering the school, looking for populated areas and excited goings on. On purpose looking for other people to make friends with

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): Pixie just needs buddies. We'll see what happens from there.

[om_wolfsbane]

Name: Rahne Sinclair

Current state of mind: Devastated and getting stronger

Places likely to be found: The woods, her bedroom, the kitchen

Anything you'd like to do with them (or plots coming up): She's just about to find out that her relationship with John was built on lies. So, yes, Rahne Sinclair is about to go postal. She's been only growing stronger since getting to this school, though, and she has a couple of friends now. So I'm excited to see how she comes out on the other side.

[om_anthem]

Steve might have to sit down with her and explain that he's graduating soon, so they can talk about what they're going to do. After the other thing, though- we have time.
