A GIF TRIBUTE TO THE GODS:

[downswing]

................ yes.

This is it, this is my highly intellectual comment. He'd be so good.

[perceptive]

I've missed this game, yo. c: Gonna TDM him for sure cuz the new TDM looks so good. /excited!

[soloritur]

!! Yes, please! Unsure if you are familiar with this silly little show Marcos is from, but in it the X-Men helped set up the Mutant Underground then promptly abandoned them and disappeared so they had to fend for themselves. Marcos was the (literally) poor man's Xavier who was trying to believe in the X-Men's ideals before it all went to shit. He also has a baby with Magneto's daughter so there you go.

WHICH IS TO SAY I'm very intrigued by the idea of running into a younger version of the guy he never got to meet that started this whole mess. :>

[perceptive]

Man. I keep meaning to watch The Gifted! I've heard so many good things about it. I'm gonna check out Legion first and then this is next on my to-watch list. But I think this cr would be so fab. OMG. Them getting abandoned by the X-Men. Yikes. ;; And there was Charles in DOFP screaming at Erik about being abandoned... :#

[chromiums]

oh my god, PLEASE. lorna is erik’s daughter and i think it might be a toss up on who she would hate to see more, charles or erik.

[perceptive]

Imma toss Charles up on the TDM for sure. Aaaaaa, Lorna. She's always been one of my favorites in the X-Men comics. I haven't watched The Gifted, but I'm going to soon. Charles is going to feel so sympathetic towards Lorna and Marcus! ;;

[matermali]

That would be just fantastic. I love him, and he could be a great addition to the team!

[perceptive]

OMG. PENNY DREADFUL is one my favorites. I am beyond excited to see you have Vanessa here. She is <3! Imma TDM him so. :> Please come bug Charles if you'd like.

[matermali]

I am never expecting anyone to have seen the show, so this is a pleasant surprise! You bet your booty I will throw Vanessa his way.

She is not going to be handling the Unwinding well, needless to say. Just assuming she's finally lost her mind. It was inevitable. No doubt you have an idea of what a headache she can be for those with psychic powers, then. Sorry about that Doom she emanates, she just can't help it. (I go into it more here if you want to see how I deal with it in-game, specifically the 'psychic scream' section). Someone please teach her how to put up psychic wards, dear god.

[perceptive]

I watched the show while it was airing. I loved it so much. I might do a rewatch sometime because it's been a long while and my memory is that of a fish.

Ah, Vanessa's mind is... gonna be way different than the ones Charles is usually exposed to, but I will never have him read someone's mind unless with player permission, so feel free to lemme know if you want him to read her mind either through the narrative or pm me to discuss things. Otherwise, he will never.

Charles loves helping people with their powers use so this going to be excellent cr! What better way to learn how to put up psychic wards than with a telepath, right? :>

I tossed him up on the TDM. No rush getting to it though. Whenever, whenever. >3

[matermali]

If he can tolerate the chaos that comes with it, then he is welcome to read her mind at any point (though I doubt she would ever give permission, just ignore her)! He is a powerful psychic, so he may find it easier than others to separate Vanessa's own thoughts from the Evil Muck that tries to worm in at times. Speaking of Evil Muck, given the old god soul that's been reincarnated in her (Amunet), there may even be conflicting/other thoughts in there that he can sense exists, but any specifics related to them may be blocked other than a sense of 'dark' and 'powerful'. I will try to mention it whenever that comes up! And we can always talk more in PM should further curiosities arise.

Awesome, I will go read it over! ~Welcome to the house of fun~

[perceptive]

Good to know! And tysm for the italics in our thread! That's super helpful. c: I am definitely gonna rewatch Penny Dreadful sometime soon. Will definitely hit you up via PM if I need clarification re: anything, and feel free to PM me as well if I ever mess something up. Just lemme know. Looking forward to these two's cr already! :D
