The staff is going to make a serious effort to update the infobox more often, so keep an eye out. Newer updates will always be closer to the top, but probably below this one.

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. If you find a character that you're interested in playing, leave a post in the Character Request thread to get started. 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.

Welcome to Speed demon's X-men Evo RPG.


This is a written RPG based off of X-men: Evolution. We're always looking for new characters, so check out the character list (under the Characters section) or PM the admin if you have questions. If you are interested in playing OC characters, please visit SD's OC X-men Board (accessed through the button in the top left corner of the site).

Erebus rolled his eyes at the display of her powers acting up. He reflected anything that came near him. He tossed the Astraea stone to the floor in front of Shay. "Our bargaining would be pointless if you ended up dead," He said, sounding bored.

"So, how about we start coming to some agreements? I'm up for negotiating, though I don't know how pointless it would be."

Shay was barely able to grab it before a burst of black flame sent her flying into the wall. With trembling hands she put the necklace back on, her eyes wide and filled with tears as the flames died down.

Her powers terrified her when unleashed to their full potential...they really did. She hated not being able to control them...and hated even more what they could do to other people if they just happened to be around at the time. It wasn't something she liked to risk.

Still trembling, she pushed herself up into a sitting position, though didn't dare move from the wall. She suddenly regretted ever having let him take over.

"Y-you say that...as if I could actually...actually t-trust you after that," she said in a very shaky voice.

Erebus shrugged. "I'm a demon. I'm naturally drawn to doing that sort of thing, you'll learn to ignore it eventually," He said, looking away from Shay boredly. "You don't have to worry anymore, I don't want your body," said Erebus. "It's too...Destructive, even more my taste. He looked around the room distastefully. "Not really, but you get my point."

"I would must rather be released from the prison of the girl. I want my own body- as you see when you're dragged into my head." He spoke after a few seconds of silence.

Shay wiped at the few tears that had actually fallen, given a very slight sniffle as she watched him.

"Your...your own body?" she asked slowly. "Is...is it even possible for you to get your own body?"

"Yes, actually." Replied Erebus. "It's a spell, actually. To give a demon a body. It can only be preformed by a mortal- Don't ask why, hell rules and all that," He said, noting the look Shay gave him.
He waved a hand and a book appeared out of thin air and landed on the floor. He got off the couch and sat on the floor in front of the book and opened it. It was a large, thick book. It had carvings, and markings that literally looked straight out of hell. The book also radiated a strange heat, even felt across the room. The text was also something that couldn't be deciphered- it wasn't from any language on earth.

"It will take a while to find, this is a long book," He said as he began leafing through it. Many pages he went through had disturbing images of different creatures, punishments, and generally hellish things.

Shay slowly walked over and knelt down beside him, cringing and having to look away at some of the images she saw.

"So let me get this straight..." she said very slowly. "If...if I agree to give you your own body...you'll give Marina her memories back?"

Erebus nodded. "I'll do it, you have my word as a demon." He let out an amused chuckle as he came to a page. "This is a particularly nasty spell," He said. "It literally makes the skin so hot that it melts off, just look at the picture!" He sounded excited at the thought. "Oh, I should probably prove that I can bring her memories back, shouldn't I?" He continued flipping through pages. On one, the page let out a ferocious snarl, and upon closer inspection, the picture on the page of a dark and demonic looking animal was alive.

Shay actually jumped back at the sight of the creature on the last page, staring at it with wide eyes.

"What the hell is that thing!?" she asked, looking like she wanted to blast the page right out of the book.

Erebus shrugged. "We've never really given him a name. He exists in one of the more inhospitable places of Hell. He's been around for centuries. Only Satan himself ever really sees him."
He began flipping through the pages again. He was more than halfway through the book before he finally came to the page he was looking for. "Here's the spell," He said, "Will you do it?"

Shay looked from the spell, then back up to him, looking a bit uncertain.

"First of all...you still need to prove that you can bring Marina's memories back," she said slowly. "And aside from that...how am I supposed to be able to read that? It just looks like a bunch of scribbles to me."

"Details, details," He muttered, sounding anxious.

Taking in a breath, he closed his eyes. He sat there for several long moments. When Marina's eyes opened, they were back to normal. "Shay...?" She asked, "What happened? I mean, the last thing I remember..."

She thought for a moment. "A lot, actually...It's all jumbled, but I remember being hit, and then...Darkness, and when I woke up you were there, and then...It's like forgot everything. What ha-"
She stopped when her body gave a violent jerk, and her eyes turned black again.

"There's your proof," Said Erebus. "And as for you not being able to read it..." He waved his hand at the book, and it was translated into English. "Do not look at any other pages. It's forbidden. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Satan himself. You were allowed to look at the other pages before but that was only because you couldn't understand them."

Shay's breath hitched in her throat, staring with that desperate hope/relief when she heard Marina say her name. To hear her finally with her memories back...Shay thought she was going to start crying. She almost did as soon as Erebus took back over and explained the way the spell book worked.

"If...if I free you..." she said slowly. "You have to swear not to go back on your word. If...if you do...I will seal you away. And I can assure you...you will NEVER see the light of day again. Not in your own eyes...not in anyone elses. Do you understand me?"

Erebus couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped his lips. Mortals- they were so cautious when it came to demons. Of course, they were right to be cautious. It still amused him. "What would you have me do, swear on a stack of bibles?" He hissed the word bibles like it was poison on his lips. "I will not go back on my word."

If everything worked out, there would be several loopholes in which Erebus could slip through. He stopped the smirk before it came across his lips. If he could pull it off, it meant he would have to show absolute truth. "I swear not to hurt your friends."

Friends was just vague enough to work- it didn't imply any certain person, and it could mean anyone, or no one. It was perfect, in his eyes. His expression showed honesty- or, as honest as a black stare could.

"I would have you tell me exactly how badly you want to have a body of your own," answered Shay in a suddenly firm, almost dangerous voice. "No, I don't trust you...but I trust your desires and what it would take to achieve them. Consider this fair warning: if I do this, you will NOT betray me in any manner, shape, or form. If you do, not only will I seal you away, I will seal you in a place that will be a _hell_ even for you."

For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if she was acting on sheer bravery or sheer stupidity. Either way, she was getting her point across: she wasn't taking this lightly.

The Astraea stone glowed suddenly from around her neck, her eyes focused completely ahead of her; giving her full concentration to...seemingly nothing. After a moment of silence, the glowing slowly began to fade; her eyes becoming focused once more as she looked at the demon.

"I'll ask you once...are you sure you still want to go through with this?"

Erebus almost challenged her- but he didn't. He wasn't afraid of her, or her supposed threat to lock him away. He no longer needed loopholes. He was a demon for Gosh' sake. He didn't need to play fair. All he had to do was fool her, and that was it. He wasn't binded to some pact, or promise. He could do whatever he pleased without remorse. But she didn't need to know that.

What made her think she could lock him away, anyway? So she had with the ring. That was because he hadn't had his own body. He was one of the most powerful demons in hell, but they weren't allowed their own bodies on earth, unless a mortal did a spell. Dwelling in a mortal body severely weakened him. But with his own body...He almost laughed at the thought. He could do things no one- not even Shay could imagine.

"I agree to everything you expect of me," Erebus said, sounding sincere. "And just for clarification, I, Erebus, promise not to harm you, the girl, your boyfriend, the people living with you, or anyone else you're close to."
