New Stuff Around the Site
Aaaaand it's time for our revival, for the billionth time. Oh, how we are a stubborn board that refuses to die. The Cbox is looking prettier than ever with rules next to them now, and there will be more new stuff to come. Also, because of this, the Cbox rules will no longer be part of the General rules.

Canon Characters
There are plenty of canon characters still up for grabs, so head on over to the character list to see which ones are available.

We're looking for new members, and everyone here is super friendly, so take a look around (guests can view almost all the forums here) and leave a comment in the Guestbook if you have any questions or want to introduce yourself.

Real Name: Shayna (Shay) Delacroix
Codename: none
Gender: female
Age: 17 (March 20th)

Team: Brotherhood

Power: Magic (in simplest terms) that takes the form of pure white ‘flames’ (no, it is NOT actual fire) and allows her the ability to change objects into different objects (or, if you want to use Harry Potter language, the power of Transfiguration). She also has the ability to manipulate her magic into a more raw form that can act as a barrier or a blast of energy she can use for protection, though it is considerably weaker than her abilities of transforming objects. Her final ability is minor healing powers, though they're not part of her natural magic; what she knows about healing she learned. In order to have full control of her natural magic, however, she needs to posses the Astraea Stone (see 'History' for more info).

Weakness: The Astraea stone; if this stone is stolen or it's powers blocked, Shay and everyone else nearby is at their mercy.

Personality: When you first meet her, Shay tends to come off as being very quiet and conservative, but friendly. She opens up more and more to people as they get to know her better, letting her fun and wild teenage side show through. She has a tendency to be very doting to people she cares about, taking on a very motherly/big sister role. She also isn’t afraid to make sacrifices for others and is very protective of her family (the Brotherhood). A lot of this comes from how badly her family was broken up and divided, and from the loss of her foster family (see History). Yet there are two sides to the coin: patience, loyalty and support on one side, and doubt, fear, and a hidden pessimism on the other. She’s something of a hypocrite in regard to the latter; she can be genuinely optimistic in regards to others and their lives, but in terms of her own, she doesn’t tend to let herself think too far into the future. The situations at present are what concern her most, not whether or not she’ll go to college after she graduates or what her career is going to be. In a sort of relation to that, she also has a rather bad habit of taking on more than she can chew, and being incredibly stubborn (and sometimes even in denial) when it comes to her own needs. Also, though she doesn't seek it openly, she likes to be in control of situations, good or bad (but especially the latter). When not in control, you get to see a far different side to her; a near desperation that results in fear, snappiness, and overall upset. One could make the argument that she is a very unbalanced individual who simply forces balance into her life, and not be completely far from the truth.

Interests:
-Likes: books (total bookworm), candles, animals, rain, classical music, orchids, tea, art
-Dislikes: lightning, math, peppermint (flavor or smell), the color orange, bananas, writing in pencil

Appearance:
-Hometown: Bayville, New York
-Hair: Black
-Eyes: Midnight Blue
-Body: average/slender
-Height: 5’7’’
-Weight: 133
-Clothing: Shay absolutely loves corsets, and is most commonly seen wearing one with either a skirt or a pair of dark blue jeans. She also likes halter tops and tube tops with lace on the trim.

Family: Adrian (older brother)--all other family members are deceased.

History: Shay’s early years were far from her happiest, beginning with the death of her parents. She was too young to remember either of them, or how they even died, but in later years she came to think that it was probably for the best. She ended up being taken in by a small Catholic family living in New York (just outside of New York City). Her adoptive parents were kind to her in her earliest years with them, though they both made it clear from day one that they fully believed in the ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’ saying. Even then, their punishments weren’t truly severe, and were only given when deserved. Otherwise they were very caring towards her; her father would read stories to her at nighttime and her mother taught her how to play the piano. She fell in love with the instrument (and with books) because of both parents’ influences. The greatest influence that her parents ever introduced to her life, however, was that of the Catholic faith; a faith that Shay would continue to hold onto for the rest of her life. She and her family attended Mass every Sunday, and she carries a set of Rosary beads (a Christmas present from her parents) at all times. All in all, life seemed to be just fine for her, that is, until her mutant abilities emerged. While there aren’t many abilities that she could have been given that would have set well with her parents, the fact that her mutation was the ability to perform magic was nothing short of horrendous. To make matters worse, Shay soon realized that the further her powers developed, the less she was able to control them. When she reached out to touch an apple, it morphed into a paperclip right before her eyes. Terrified, she tried her best to restrain her new-found powers, but soon found it to be in vain. One fateful day, she lost any and all control during an argument with her parents. Her powers, in an attempt to "protect" her, activated and turned both of her parents into little dolls. When she saw what she had done, she became even more terrified, sparking a housefire as her powers went completely out of control. Her parents (as dolls) burned in the fire, and the house itself was destroyed as well. She was 13-years-old at the time.
She fled in shame and fear, eventually coming across the witch Agatha Harkness. Agatha took the young girl in as an adoptive daughter, caring for her and helping her to control her powers. About a week after her arrival, Agatha presented Shayna with a necklace made of a black velvet material with a opal-looking stone in the center. She called it the Astraea Stone. Agatha explained that this stone would be used as a kind of 'filter' for her magical energies, giving Shay control of how and what her powers were used on. It was extremely critical that this stone remain in Shay's possession, for should she lose it or the stone's powers be blocked, she would be at the mercy of her powers. The black velvet-looking strap that the necklace was set in was also very special: it was made from a material that couldn't be destroyed (ex: by fire, scissors, etc); only removable by hand. As long as Shay didn't let anyone get close enough to her neck, and as long as she didn't remove the necklace herself, she had nothing to worry about (the only exception being if the stone itself was attacked by means of blocking its abilities). Grateful and happy to have found a person to care for her, Shay remained with Agatha for about 4 years. Shortly after her 16th birthday, Agatha introduced Shay to a blue female mutant named Mystique, who sought Shay's services. Agatha left the choice up to her "daughter", assuring her that whatever she chose was alright in her book. Reluctantly, Shay agreed to join Mystique and was taken to her house where she was introduced to her new 'teammates'. Though skeptical at first, Shay soon decided that she preferred them over the other mutant groups she came to encounter over a few months, and continues to remain with them.

*Note: The Cbox now reads from top to bottom. CBOX RULES
- Please try not to spam. There is a 1000 character limit per message; make use of it. It's not MSN so don't leave one word messages if you can.
- Being respectful still applies in the cbox.
- Try to use the same name when you post a message, or at least one that members will be able to recognize you by.
- The cbox is OOC (out of character) so you don't have to still be in character.
- No advertising in the cbox. We have a section for that, so post advertisements where they belong.
