☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: A teenage boy with unnaturally coloured skin, a mop of black hair, and occasionally a prominent chin. Sometimes his eyes are blue, sometimes they're pink, sometimes they're black. Sometimes he looks twelve, sometimes he looks twenty. Sometimes his skin's grey and sometimes it's blue--comic books, man. What stays the same is the fact that he's got the lips and face lines of the guy he was cloned from. (FWIW, I tend to think of him as grey-skinned and avoid describing the colour of his eyes whenever possible, lol.) ♚ FASHION: A lot of the time, he's in the Jean Grey School uniform, which includes shorts and a blazer and a tie. His superhero costume is the usual spandex affair. When he's not in either of those, his clothes vary a lot, from hipster-y tank tops and shorts to button-down shirts. ♚ DEMEANOUR: JUST LOOK AT THIS GOOD BOY. Evan was raised to be polite and thoughtful towards others, and he's often very earnest. As he gets older, he does get a bit moodier--you end up with a few complexes when you find out your whole life was a lie and you're the clone of a supervillain--but at heart, he's pretty sweet all around. ♚ SOUND: No way to know for sure at this point, but as he was raised in (fake) Kansas, he's probably got a pretty general Midwest accent. ♚ SCENT: Soap and stuff, nothing particularly interesting. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Evan has taken classes on mental shielding and blocking from one of his universe's most powerful psychics. However, we don't have a lot of information on whether he's, you know, any good at it, so if you want to do some mind-reading, let me know and we'll sort out a fun thread. :D In general, I'm interested in doing what'll be the most fun, rather than getting too slavish over power levels. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Evan's a mutant, not so much magical. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: Backtagging is fine, but in general, I prefer not to keep game threads going for months and months. (Memes and PSLs, that's just how it goes sometimes.) I'll always get in touch with you to discuss details if I need to handwave something that hasn't happened yet for another thread. ♚ THREADJACKING: Fine with me. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: Probably not super likely, since Evan isn't really an A-lister, but I don't mind it in narration. In dialogue, if someone's like "shit, I know who you are, you're really famous," I'm fine with it but would prefer you give me a heads-up beforehand. I'd like to skip "also, did you know you're fictional," please. ♚ TELEPATHY/MIND-READING: Sure, just give me a heads-up so we can talk about what your character would get out of it / I can include shit in my tags for you. ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He might be a little surprised, but he's not strictly opposed, and neither am I. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Fine with me, especially for the kind of superhero battles he gets into in canon. I prefer to avoid writing extreme violence and gore (in-depth descriptions of torture and stuff like that), so if we can skim over the details, I'd appreciate it. ♚ CANONPOINT: All over the place, tbh. I love brand-new-to-JGS Evan, bitter post-Final Execution Evan, post-Axis Evan, all of it. I haven't played him so long that I have strong preferences on where we go in the timeline, so if you do, just let me know. ☄ ABILITIES BULLSHIT ♚ OVERVIEW: Evan's a mutant--he has genetically based superpowers, as well as visible physical differences stemming from his mutation. ♚ THE DEETS: ♔ The grey skin and mouth lines and shit, first of all ♔ Ability to control his molecular structure, allowing him to do Mr.-Fantastic-esque stretchy limbs ♔ The whole molecular structure thing also lets him turn his molecules into completely different shit when necessary--he's able to do things like shift his feet into rocket boots and his hands into weapons, for instance, so he can basically fly and turn into a human chainsaw as necessary ♔ Laserlike eyebeams that he, unlike some Cyclopses we could name, has control over ♔ Superhuman strength and durability ♚ NOTES: Evan is unquestionably kind of OP, and I'm aware of that. He's not as bad as Actual Apocalypse, in great part because he's still a teenage boy, but it's still kind of ridiculous, lmao. My interests in his abilities are secondary to my interest in Evan as a character, and how all his superpowers (and the villainous identity other people associate with them) affect his growth and development. Basically, I'm here to write interesting threads, not make sure my guy always wins--I'm always willing to talk out fight scenes so that both our characters get time to shine. Just let me know if I can do anything to better serve our CR! ☄ SHIP/GEN CR BULLSHIT ♚ SEXUALITY: I have no particular preference on that front! I can see writing him as straight or bisexual, and I'm interested in exploring options across the board. ♚ YES, PLEASE: Time-displaced Bobby Drake, Idie Okonkwo, time-displaced Jean Grey, Jia Jing ♚ LET'S TALK: Cross-canon ships (I love them as a rule, but whether one will work is a case-by-case thing) ♚ IF IT CLICKS, MAYBE: Quentin Quire ♚ GEN CR: Any of his classmates, any of his professors, any other X-people! I also love the films and am happy to cram the settings together--it would be fun to play him off characters who lived through X-Men: Apocalypse for obvious reasons. Evo characters, DC characters, other teenagers in weird superhero settings, other teens in general, and tbh everything else you can possibly think of. NB: I am not particularly familiar with the MCU or other Marvel comics properties. code edited from here
