Dr. Charles Xavier, along with his best friend, Dr. Eric Lehnsherr, formed the X-Men to help them combat evil mutants and achieve their dreams of peace between humans and the growing mutant population. The five original X-Men were Jean Grey/Marvel Girl, Hank McCoy/Beast, Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver, Jeanne Baubier/Aurora, and Dominic Petros/Avalanche. Unfortunately, Xavier suffered from a degenerative disease. And after only a few years with his X-Men, along with the beginning training of his New Mutants, he passed away from lung failure. Eric, stood by and, even with his amazing powers, he could do nothing to help his best friend. Eric was distraught and left the X-Men in the capable hands of one of its leaders, Jean Grey. Out of respect for the loss of their teachers, they wear black in their uniforms.
In a world that hates and fears them, these individuals were born different, with an X-gene that gives them extraordinary powers. They are mutants and they have sworn to protect others, they are the X-Men
Gold Team: Gold and black uniforms. (not required, just an idea for generic costume and to tie to the characters together)
Jean Grey/Phoenix: 1st X-Man, current head of Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, and leader of the Gold team.
Sample Picture, not required to use:
Peter Maximoff /Quicksilver: Son of Eric/Magneto. He is the twin brother of the Scarlet Witch. He worries for her as she has joined Magneto and is obviously not sane. He must wear a containment suit due to the fact that his power has caused his molecules to vibrate at a high speed, and when moving at high speeds, his body threatens to pull apart into a fleshy mist. When not moving at high speeds, his body is still vibrating, but not dangerously so, and he can go without the suit for short periods at a time.
Sample Picture, not required to use:
Raven Darkholme/Mystique: She was forced to give up her adopted daughter after only a couple of years to Apocalypse in return for her friend and lover, Destiny. After which, Apocalypse sent his new Horseman, Famine, to kill Destiny in front of Mystique because she took too long to turn Rogue over and he wanted to test Rogue’s new prowess. Now she is with the X-Men for protection, revenge, and to gain a rapport with her son, Kurt.
Sample Picture, not required:
Matt Murdock/Daredevil: Once a loner, he found companionship and family among the X-Men. Dormant mutation brought about by contact with radiation. He is also a lawyer for the X-Men and mutant rights.
Sample Picture, not required to use:
Silver Team: Silver and black uniforms.
Ororo Munroe/Storm: Leader of the Silver team. Storm was bald and tattooed when Xavier found her in the African savannah. She was raised as a goddess. She had run away from her “destiny” into Cairo, Egypt. There, she learned to be an excellent thief until her powers erupted and caused a tornado in an alley. Her “tribe” found her and brought her back to the savannahs as a child-goddess. After a time, Xavier found her and told her of her abduction from her American parents by Amoul Farouk, a slave trader, because he could sell her to a tribe looking for a child with white hair, which was linked to an African goddess. She “returned” to America and found her parents, but grew bored with the average American life and joined the X-Men.
Tandy Bowen/Dagger:
If using the first picture, I'd go with a younger woman. In keeping with that, she joined the X-Men later than the others, around the age of 13 (think Jubilee/Kitty Pryde in Mainstream Universe). Found on the streets using her powers to survive, she was taken in by the X-Men and trained in the use of her powers. Having nowhere else to go, she's stayed with them, also due in part to her growing affection/connection to ______.
Sample Picture, not required:
Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler: Son of Mystique, tension b/c she tries to mother him after having abandoned him for years and now is trying to form a rapport with him. Hates churches and Christianity. He has longish hair. A red tattoo is over his eye due to a failed attempt to make him a mutate on Genosha. See Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler pictures.
Sample Picture, not required:
James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine: Jean helped him regain his humanity and he loves her deeply? (Due to Logan’s popularity, applications must be very good and since this is an alternate reality, only an application that does something different with Wolverine will be accepted.)
