Days of Future Present

[Bobby Drake]

Future!Warren[/b]

Initially, Warren worked hard to get civil-rights-violating provisions stricken from the MRA while also publicly encouraging mutants to register. As mutants increasingly became second-class citizens, he became increasingly unhappy supporting the law.

After Josh’s death he resigned from the X-Men/SHIELD, but Ancher decided he knew too much to be a free agent. Warren fled SHIELD custody and was declared an outlaw. Eventually he ended up with the rebellion (the Brotherhood).

He now leads a Brotherhood team that includes several other disaffected X-Men operating in the upstate New York area. Unlike many Brotherhood teams, he refuses to participate in terrorist activity or attacks against civilians; he concentrates his efforts on finding other free mutants and helping protect/hide them from SHIELD, and from time to time leads raids on the Mutant Containment Camps in the Northeast U.S. to free imprisoned mutants.

His team is often defeated but manages to rescue their most important targets fairly consistently, and takes few casualties; he has a good reputation in the Brotherhood, though many mutants still mistrust him.

Nobody calls him “Angel” anymore. He doesn’t use a codename.

His TK is much stronger, though still short-range; he can manifest a telekinetic force-field that renders him almost indestructible, can fly much faster and carry more weight than before, and can telekinetically throw small objects as if they’d been fired from a gun. He carries lots of “ammunition” of different sorts, typically in magazines attached to his wings, as well as arm- and leg-shields that conceal razor-sharp talons for close combat.

Future!Bob[/b]

Like everyone else, Bobby’s loyalties were torn by the increasing subjugation of mutants. Unlike most of them, he decided to remain part of the X-Men (and, relatedly, SHIELD) as an “official, government-sponsored” mutant. He believed, and still believes, that this is the best way to get to a future where humans and mutants work together; he sees himself (not entirely unreasonably) as working within the system to curtail its excesses.

He fought against the Brotherhood for many years, even as his old friends and colleagues defected to join them. In the process he’s gone through several wartime promotions and is now a U.S. colonel, in charge of defense for the Mutant Containment Camps in the Northeast U.S. This has pitted him against Warren’s Brotherhood team many, many times.

He is not well-liked or entirely trusted by his colleagues in SHIELD. In part this is anti-mutant bigotry, but largely it’s because he has testified many times against other SHIELD agents and Camp employees for violating prisoners’ civil rights. He is generally seen as “too soft” on them, and conditions at the Northeast Containment Camps are not nearly as awful as in other Camps. However, he’s been far more successful than his predecessors at fighting off the Brotherhood, so he’s kept his position.

He has essentially the same powers as now, but has much more control over them. In particular, he can change the shape of his ice-form at will (rather like current comic-canon Bobby). In battle he generally “bulks up” to about ten feet and half a ton or so with spikes covering his body; in this form he has been known to knock tanks over with his fists. His body remains relatively fragile, but he can reform pretty much instantly after being injured.

His SHIELD superiors have implanted him with nano-technological explosives throughout his nervous system, which they can detonate remotely if he goes rogue. He’s not supposed to know about this, but he does. He’s also fairly sure that he could survive it in ice-form, but hasn’t tested the theory.

What Nobody Knows…[/b]
Bobby and Warren have been secretly working together for several years now.

Basically, whenever Bobby finds a mutant in the Northeast Camps who doesn’t belong there, but who for political reasons he cannot get released, he informs Warren and they coordinate tactics to allow for those individuals to get freed during one of Warren’s raids.

In return, Warren leads occasional raids designed to be repulsed. Here again they coordinate tactics for maximum showiness, to maintain Bobby’s reputation rather than get him replaced by someone worse. Warren has even been known to set up Brotherhood members to be captured on these raids, when they are uncontrollably destructive and a genuine threat to innocents.

They aren’t happy about this arrangement, and they really aren’t friends anymore, but it seems better than the alternatives they can think of.

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

Future!Josh

In the next few years, Josh graduates with a bachelor’s degree and moves on to medical school. He finishes medical school and begins work as a doctor, specializing in neurology. Josh quickly gains respect among the medical community for his research on mutation and its neurophysiological correlates. A teaching hospital in New York recruits him, enabling him to keep ties with the Institute.

Both he and Warren continue to participate occasionally as members of the X-Men, but as their respective careers begin to take off, the younger students increasingly shoulder that particular workload.

As the mutant-human tensions increase, however, things began to fall apart. Both of them, as public mutants, are soon looked on with suspicion by colleagues. Eventually, the director of Josh’s hospital had no choice but to let him go because of pressure from the board. Not having any choice in the matter, Josh takes the dismissal in stride, and returns to the Institute as its full-time physician. His telekinesis has grown exponentially stronger since his adolescence, and it’s suspected that he is the strongest telekinetic on the planet.

In 2015, Josh, Jake, and Emma Frost discover a young orphaned mutant around the age of 8. The child exhibits telepathy that is extremely strong for his age, and he is brought to the Institute. Josh bonds with the child, and Josh and Warren become, all but officially, his parents.

General Jean-Claude Ancher of SHIELD sends ‘peacekeeping’ troops to the Xavier Institute in 2017. Unfortunately, he assigns Charlie to head up the mission, who puts the entire complex on lockdown, with threats to deport most of the inhabitants to the containment camps. The X-Men still remaining attempt to free the children and escape. Josh is killed defending the others from Sentinels during their flight. Warren is never able to find their son, despite days of searching. He officially abandons the X-Men.

In the struggle, the Institute is mostly destroyed, though its sublevels may still be intact. Its ruins are still visited from time to time by those who remember its past.

[Tempero]

Hm, Bobby, Chris is going as well, I think you missed it in your roster-thingy a few posts earlier... Justification could be that he just happened to be at the spot, or came to see what all the racket was about.

Sherridan and Danny will not be addressed as 100m's, but Danny certainly, and Sherridan maybe, will be played as their Future! selves.

Here's a summary that I will attempt:

Future!Danny

Following his graduation at Xavier's, Danny sets off for eight years on his own to get his studies done (he chooses to become a psychiatrist by profession) as well as to just mingle through society. He is not seen until 2016, when he just comes to the institute and is just the usual, friendly, socially blooming Danny that everyone knows and optionally loves, helping out with various things.

As the "peacekeeping" thing happens at the Institute, Danny is gone within an explosion, with the last glance at him (by anyone, if anyone wants it anyways) as his normal self plus a blue and green glowing outline before dramatic soot and debris cover him in a very effective way.

In 2024, Danny resurfaces, now with his white hair grown long, and wearing all black, completely strange for his usual personality. The friendliness is gone, and he no longer is the frail, in-need-of-friends boy he used to be. Instead, he is bent on getting his "revenge", the basis of which is the loss of many good friends, the discrimination of mutants, the few hints towards what humanity was going to end up being like given to him by Magneto in a specific thread, and a simple state of exhaustion from trying ot prove that everyone could get along.

He always has one or another mutant around him, ready to be robbed of his or her power. His telepathy has developed into an offensive kind, not ueber-strong, but still sufficient to dominate a very weak minded mutant, or to intrude on most other mutants.

As far as his powers go, here's the thing: he has found out a way to switch powers, in addition to reduction, boosting, and copying, and loves to use it to confuse mutants. His control over his own power has grown, and his skills with various powers have followed suit, if not even more so.

During the three years up to 2027, Danny keeps mastering different mutations, appearing on occasions at different places and just inserting additional chaos to the confusion of riots already initiated by the rebels. He also has been accounted for as appearing on several occasions in the company of several different mutants, who always seemed to glow "red and green and white".

Another power he has discovered is a Ban- making the effects of his power permanent. It requires a portion of his mind to be constantly taken away for its maintenance, and so he can only have three bans at any one time- any more would reduce him to a puddle of mush. He always singles out telepathic mutants first, and tries to take care of them in the beginning, so he could boost his own offensive telepathy.

He has not had an encounter of any of the Future! characters from his past, but they might have read something on him in the papers and such, and vice versa. He is not really interested in starting back new friendships.

He could encounter the 100m's on several times, just because they chanced on each other.

Future!Sherridan

Sherridan had pretty much gone off on his own tangent starting in 2010, getting sick of being in the Brotherhood, but not really. Ever since, his riches have increased exponentially, as he started posing as different people, entrepreneurs, and participating in all major anti-mutant financial activities, so he could get the latest technology to defend himself.

His mansion remains at the same address, and he is usually within it for the whole day, coming out only at night to kill as many humans as possible, occasionally beating up a mutant or two for wrong loyalties.

He has discovered a fur color so close to skin that one actually needs to touch him to notice it, and his feline characteristics have further increased, but not much- just from what he pushes himself to do every day as far as physical exercise goes.

His incorporation in the whole thing might be that someone of the Brotherhood 100m's would remember Sherridan's address (public knowledge, really, since his double life managed always to have a known of and unknown of tangent), and decide that he could be useful, or not, it is completely optional.

Future!Chris

Not very interested in participating physically in the affairs of the outer world, Chris has encased himself in a small apartment which he filled with tons and tons of computers, which all are connected in very, very many different ways, allowing him to access computer systems world-wide, partially due to further development of his power.

Alas, he has almost completely lost his personality, and now watches everything through cold hard reason, and nothing else.

He would certainly have a sentimental value of his older self, however, burried somewhere deep in his being, and the appearance of 100m's Chris might cause him to decide to get out and about, but not without at least three different very portable computers.

It would make for an interesting encounter if the old and new Chris met up and just started exchanging half-sentences and finishing them for each other, since they are both so deeply experienced in cyberpathic thinking.


100m!Chris

As far as the involvement of old Chris goes, I would like to have him tag along simply for the fun of having him annoy everyone. Plus, he might just be able to hack into a sentinel, hint hint nudge nudge.

The more "technological" we make this setting, the more he would be useful although naturally flying cars and beacons of mass destruction that are not rockets would be way off limit.

[Toni Craft]

Future Toni


2007 - 2009
Toni’s career as a science teacher at the Institute continued while she finished off the last of her Bachelor of Science degree. Upon her graduation, she proceeded to enroll in the masters program with a focus on volatile and explosive chemistry.

She continued her education via correspondence all the while teaching chemistry, physics, and eventually adopting specialized X-Men-only chemical defense course, consisting of protection against chemical and biological weapons and a reasonable amount of offensive tactics. While this is going on, she also engages in a romantic relationship with Jack Russell, the resident werewolf.

2009 - 2014
When human-mutant relations began heading south, she dropped out of university half way through her masters to focus more on current issues and her position at the Institute. It is shortly after the major event that causes the tension that Toni gives birth to her and Jack’s first child, Greg Russell. Greg inherited the best of both of his parents’ powers. He has the iron composition of his mother, enabling super strength and super endurance, and the animal-like reflexes of his father. He also gained the height and muscle passed through Toni’s family, making him extremely tall and even more built up than Matthew.

Toni’s allegiance has never been in question, so when the Mutant Registration Act is passed, and it is obvious that the X-Men are remaining in support of SHIELD, she high-tails it out of there along with Jack and Greg. Together they manage to hook up with the Brotherhood, but avoid all terrorist activity. Until Warren arrives and assumes command, Toni takes control of the local rebel band due to her familiarity with the X-Men and her knowledge of SHIELD tactics. She is able to recruit more members after coordinating with her brother, who remained an X-Men, and takes in many mutants whom he and the others allowed to escape. She is able to build her division of the Brotherhood up to a sizable army and inspires similar groups to be built in nearby states. For those mutants that wish not to fight, she uses her connection with the Italian mafia to coordinate transport routes to Canada, where the Mutant Registration Act is having a harder time taking hold.

2015
Shortly after, when the Institute is destroyed, Josh is killed, and Warren leaves the X-Men, Matthew immediate departs as well. He joins the Brotherhood along with Warren. Due to her commitment with her family, Toni relinquishes command to Warren, but still remains heavily involved as the second-in-command.

Toni’s and Jack’s second child, Timur (Piotr suggested the name, as it means iron in Russian), is born. His body is almost entirely a biological iron substance, giving him a steel-like glossy appearance from birth. What he lacks in his mother’s ability to armor up and manipulate iron, Tim makes up for with his ability to shapeshift at will, much like Mercury.

Her parents are arrested after it is discovered that they are involved with the underground support. The location of their imprisonment, if there is one, is unknown.

2019
A few years later, during one of Warren’s planned raids on the Northeast Camp, Toni and Matthew are fleeing with an assortment of mutant escapees when a Sentinel critically injures Matthew. With his death imminent, Matthew voluntarily stays behind to buy the group time. Charging his remaining nuclear reserves, he detonates, taking out a number of Sentinels and SHIELD agents in the process.

Two years after the death of her brother, Jack’s beast form goes insane while on the battlefield, having been stressed beyond repair due to the war. Completely out of control, he attacks and severely injures a fellow teammate, giving the others no choice to kill him, despite Toni’s protests. Greg, deeply affected by his father’s death, becomes bitter and resents his father for his lack of self control and for forcing him to become the ‘man of the house’.

Only eight and a half months after Jack’s death, Toni gives birth to their youngest child, named Jackie Matty after her deceased father and uncle. With far less iron than her mother or her siblings, Jackie is not as strong nor as durable, but is still considered superhuman in those regards. She retains her father's ability to morph into a wolf, but because of her age, she morphs into a wolf puppy. She never got the chance to meet her father, and neither Jack nor Toni knew of the pregnancy before his death.

Even with her brother and her romantic partner (as they were never married) gone Toni is still able to retain most of her erratic personality, finding that her goofy nature is easier on her two youngest children. She is much more militaristic and is prone to sober moments, but she’s still very much the person she was twenty years ago. Her iron manipulation ability has greatly improved and she is able to retain much more iron than before, causing her weight to increase to over 1000 pounds, as opposed to the 500 she was at before. With the additional iron at her disposal, her armored form is considerably larger and stronger. She’s known as the one woman wrecking ball, known for her ability to take down a Sentinel single-handedly.


Future Matthew



Matthew continues his studies at the Institute where he graduates with his high school diploma in 2009, right around the time things start going awry. His relationship with Laurie had gone under some stress throughout those few years, and they had broken up at one point. They tried dating other students for a while, but eventually rekindled their relationship.

Matthew had been recruited as a full-time X-Men member upon his graduation, and is reluctantly pulled into current human-mutant issues. Shortly after, Toni departs the Institute with Jack and their first child, Greg. He and Laurie share a teary departure as she heads off to college, though they continue their relationship.

He remains in contact with his sister even as she joins up with the Brotherhood, and helps plan rescue missions disguised as attacks and raids to allow mutants to avoid being herded into containment camps. Laurie is expelled from college after it is made public knowledge that she is a mutant and returns to the Institute. While there, their relationship is strained due to her mother’s urging for her to go into hiding, and Matthew’s refusal to do so. Finally, Laurie chooses to go with her mother and their relationship is terminated.

He loses all contact with his former flame, though he continues to try and find her. Matthew remains an X-Man until 2015 when the Institute is destroyed and Josh is killed. Joining up with Warren, he regroups with his sister and becomes a member of the Brotherhood. He spends his time participating in rescue missions, shuttling non-combatant mutants out of the country, helping train his two nephews and other recruits, and when ever he has a moment free, he continues to search for Laurie. His parents are captured and imprisoned after they are caught involved with the underground mutant-support network. Their current locations are unknown.

At one point he hears of Gail’s, Laurie’s mother, death and fearing for his old love, he sets out to find her, contacting other Brotherhood divisions to hear if they’ve sighted her. After two months of searching while avoiding capture, he returns to the rebel base, devoid of any hope that Laurie is still alive. This revelation only succeeds in deepening his hatred for the atrocities committed by SHIELD and he fights with even more vigor than before, hoping to avenge Laurie’s death.

His control over the nuclear core inside his body grows tremendously, enabling him to fight without endangering members of his own team. It is this control that allows him to detonate the radioactive energy within his body after he is mortally wounded during a rescue attempt. His explosive death, while unfortunate, is a massive blow against SHIELD, as he destroys several Sentinels and at least one key agent in the process. Unknown to him at the time of his death, Laurie had not been killed along with her mother, but is instead hiding out and selling her pheromone abilities.

[Jack Russell]

Future!Arthur

After proving his brother's innocence after being accused of murder, Arthur was eventually called upon by the government to contribute his services, despite his fraility. After some coaxing, Arthur later somehow started working for the government full-time, ultimately leaving the institute behind. By that time, his mental shielding had potentially increased to a very high level, rendering his mind almost inaccessible by most telekinetic mutants and especially humans with all their fancy equipment.

However, Arthur was not so blind to the obvious discrimination against mutants. He contributed little by little, changing the visions and sensations he relayed to the government to give mutants their rightful innocence, and although feeling guilty about the lying, he had no choice. Even though Arthur was getting on in his years, he became an active messenger for his mutant friends and his family, relaying important government decisions before they became public and confidential tactics and ploys for extermination. He managed to do so for a very long time, covering his tracks skillfully. However, after his Uncle Roy had a fatal stroke, Arthur slowly began to crack, and by then the government had wind of his treachery. Knowing that haste was urgent, Arthur urged his Aunt Polly to go into hiding with his brother Tyler.

They managed to escape, but Arthur was not as lucky. The full extent of his work was revealed to the government from some insider information, and he was publicly executed as a prime example of the price to pay for treachery.


Future!Roger

Although his loyalty had been tried several times, Roger remained tried and true to the Brotherhood. His telepathic powers increased with practice, and steadily Roger found new venues to engage in when it came to offensive attacks. He later learned to pressure his foes into a high or low point of emotion, irritating them into a rage that resulted in their demise or dampening their impulses until they became too lethargic to attack. Unfortunately, his child-like qualities still persisted, and his emotional attachments to those in the Brotherhood began to get in the way when it concerned battles and combat.

Medication was privately sought to subdue him, and it did the job for some time. Despite that fact, he was still damaged goods, and it was dangerous to send him out on missions alone or even to let him freely wander in public by himself. Roger became a valued asset to the Brotherhood, even if he wasn't exactly a respected member. Childishly ascertain that he was well-liked for himself, Roger did as he was told without further question.

With the onset of the war, however, medication became harder to come by, and eventually Roger returned to his old ways, though not without his new-found skills. Ultimately, he is still the same as he always was, and he continues in his plight for mutants everywhere, even under the command of Warren.


Future!Jack

Almost immediately after his return, Jack sought to become a full-time member of the X-Men and the institute faculty, contributing his knowledge of survival tactics, sufficient first-aid, and of course environmental science. Soon, however, he managed to pluck up the courage to engage in a romantic relationship with Toni Craft, despite his awkward three days out of the month.

Although it seemed as though this relationship was to blossom, the human-mutant relationship was deteriorating at a rapid velocity. Imminent war was on the horizon, and Jack was forced to divide his time between worrying and Toni. After some time, it was revealed to Jack that Toni was pregnant--a rather surprise for the both of them. Some months later, Toni gave birth to their first child, Greg Russell. The child was quite literally a half and half combo of both his parents, red-headed and blue-eyed, but strong as an ox and alarmingly quick and agile.

The quaint little family was not to remain untainted by the war, and the X-Men's loyalty to SHIELD forced the three to leave and take residence in the Brotherhood. While Toni assumed command, Jack did his best to train recruits and his own son, knowing that even Greg would be tossed in the fray, and it would be suicide to let him live in the war without training. In addition to training, Jack's own bestial self had partially become tamed, only by the definite promise of bloodshed of those who they'd been wronged by. It did not promise his team-mates protection, but, It had yet to attack anyone. By that time, Jack's sister Lissa--human as far as his family line went--attempted to join their cause. Powerless, she pressured Jack into turning her. Jack begrudingly consented after some time, and she almost instantly gained an alternate beastial form, that unlike his own, had short, black fur, and fin crests down her back. Her instantaneous strength and enhances senses proved useful, but her bestial self, however, could not be contained, and she escaped the confines of the Brotherhood the next full moon. Her whereabouts are even currently unknown, she may have been captured or killed by the government.

While Jack was mourning the loss of his sister, Warren took command, and Matthew joined the ranks, pressing Toni to be second-in-command. Shortly afterward, Jack and Toni have a second child--Timur. Their second son is more like his mother than his father, almost completely composed of biological iron.

Some years later, after a raid on a Northeast Camp, Matty is killed while the rest of the group escapes, along with numerous SHIELD members and several Sentinels. Only two years after that occurred, Jack's bestial half went in a rampage under the weight of stress and distinguishing friend from foe. Nearly rabid, it savagely attacked one of their teammates. It didn't kill him, but unfortunately it disfigured his face for life, blinding him in one eye and scarring his visage.

The Brotherhood attempts to contain him, but all efforts prove fruitless, and several lives were almost lost in the process. Despite Toni's protest, the team agreed that they had no choice but to exterminate Jack's beast before it killed everyone else. As a group effort, they brough down Jack's beast. The bestial part of Jack died first, sustaining him long enough to return to human for three last words before he died in suit.

Unbeknownst to him or Toni before his death, Toni was pregnant with their third child--Jackie Matty. The child was born as a spitting image of her father, with the ability to change into a wolf.

[Rogue]

Future!Rogue

When the X-Men started going downhill (and becoming SHIELD-affied), Rogue still stuck around, mostly for the sake of staying with what she knew. But people kept leaving, and it was changing, and in general it made her uneasy - but not uneasy enough to leave yet (because she’s just like that).

She was commonly absorbing others at this point – other mutants who were brought in, for information and their powers, or those she needed to subdue quickly. For awhile, it worked well enough - she could keep the psykes under control enough, keep them to just chattering in her mind. But it kept getting more and more crowded over time.

Eventually, though, there were just too many minds absorbed, and too little space, and the line between Rogue and the psykes blurred. She’d lapse, occasionally at first, then more and more often as time went on, into others’ personalities, swearing up and down that she was whatever person was currently occupying control. And of course this was happening more often than not during inopportune times like missions or other stressful moments when the psykes were riled up for some reason other than the norm.

It kept getting worse and worse, until eventually she was nearly-constantly someone else, most of the time switching between psykes every few minutes (conversation with her must have been, er, interesting). In the few moments where she was herself she was in a panic - she couldn’t remember what’d gone on while she wasn’t herself, as if she’d just blacked out (sometimes for days, or even weeks at a time) and woken up later.

With her invulnerability, strength, and still-uncontrollable powers, she was quickly too dangerous to be kept on the team, or even free off-team. She was Cured (and is, regularly), and locked away in a high-security facility. (This happens sometime in 2015, so she's been out of current events for quite awhile.)

The Cure doesn’t wipe out the psykes, though (as per my past statement that cured!Rogue still had them and they were just quieter, which is why Template-events were scarring and eek and stuff), so she's still almost-never really herself. She's (they've?) taken up talking to herself/themselves a lot, being otherwise alone all the time, and she/they hardly respond to outsiders anymore (unless angry, in which case it's less with the conversation, more with the attacking).

We more than likely won’t actually meet up with her in the future.

[Bobby Drake]

...that Laurie and I just worked out and I figured I'd capture here.

As Laurie, Primer, f!Danny, and Bob get reacquainted:
1) Rahne shows up

2) Shortly thereafter SHIELD arrives. (Possibly responding in a very delayed fashion to Warren & co's previous activity, or whatever.) "ZOMG! Mutants!" Fighting ensues.

3) The BH becomes aware of this and try to port the new arrivals to beta site. Fighting gets complicated.

4) Primer gets nailed with Cure-gas just as Vanisher ports him to beta site. He arrives powerless (at least for now) and subsequently hooks up with Warren and that crowd, despite himself. They more or less decide to let him do so because he's powerless and because their players are cooperating with the plot.

5) Laurie almost gets taken by Vanisher but Bob "protects" her (assuming as he does that this is Primer's doing). Laurie, Rahne, and Bob end up arrested. Later, Bob is embarassed.

6) Laurie and Rahne bond in prison (no, not like THAT) for a while. Eventually they break out or are broken out somehow and run off and have adventures together.

7) Meanwhile future!bob and present!bob become aware of each other. Not much plot ensues, really, but much argument.

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

Hey everyone! I have a potential plot idea to put forth for the Days of Future Present arc.

One of the ideas behind this whole dystopian future thing was that there should be some way to change it so it never actually happens. Bob and I have been talking about this, and we feel ending the arc with a bang would be cool.

Maybe some militant group ends up perpetrating something that decimates an entire city? This was our thinking. The combined X-Men and Brotherhood can stop it together!

Does anyone have any ideas for interesting settings and scenarios I was thinking the Friends of Humanity could possibly be involved again... also, some kind of militant 3rd party mutant group would be interesting.

[Jack Russell]

Yeah! So Jack doesn't have to die! xD

[Pyro]

Pyro
Warrant for execution issued in 2011 'in the interests of national security', having been flagged as a potential figurehead for mutant resistance (as the last surviving member of Magneto's Alcatraz core team) and compounded the perceived risk by refusing to register and leaving the X-Men. Killed by Sentinel while resisting arrest (read "torching the fuckers" - much like X2).

Jake
Married to Ororo, with a daughter - Jade. Saw the attack on the 'stute - and in particular Josh's death - as his fault, and would have retreated and probably gone bleakly insane, save that he stayed with Ororo and followed her to the BH. Is currently with her team in London, though largely inactive as anything other than psychic hotline at base, and has become obsessed with trying to improve his temp. manip powers to reverse time (as he doesn't actually manipulate time itself this won't happen, but he doesn't know that).

[Bobby Drake]

Cool!

Once we all manage to convince ourselves that time-travel is involved, we should do a thread in there somewhere where 2007-Ororo and Jade go find 2027-Jake (aka Dad), under the theory that he's been talking about time-travel and stuff.

He may or may not know anything interesting, but it would be a reason to take our show on the road, if we wanted.

[Pyro]

Awesomesauce *thumbs up*

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

Whee!

I'm going to start posting as Jade in NY, but we can collaborate on her. (Wow, that sounds so academic. Need a mental break....)

<3

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

So, as far as I can tell, there's a ground team, and an aerial team. Who's planning on participating in the attack?

We can make a single thread for each of those, and then all the other random scattered characters can have their threads. I think the New York Riot arc demonstrated how much better things turn out when we're flexible with jumping between threads.

Jade and Josh will be part of the aerial thread, and Storm will be in her own thread with Bob until they run into the attack force.

[Warren Worthington III]

Yeah, that's about what I had in mind. (I threw in the telepath-team mostly to give Jade somewhere else to be, if you didn't want to NPC her.)

This should run a lot like the Riot thread... folks can just run with it, split off and rejoin etc., and we keep it up until we're bored.

Feel free to NPC guards, Sentinels, Camp inmates, whatever floats your boat.

I'll kick off the aerial attack thread some point soon with Warren.
