Check out the Infobox Every Once in a While
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.

Going with the origin that Lobdell had planned so she differs from the comic-book version like some of the Evo characters! - http://www.sugarbombs.com/genx/lobdell.htm

~*~

Real Name: Yvette

Codename: Penance

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Affiliation: X-men

Power: Like Nightcrawler, she has a physical mutation. Penance's skin is dense and diamond-hard, making her impervious to harm and highly durable.

Weakness: Penance appears to be deaf and is unable to speak, making any attempts to communicate with her and win her over that much harder. Her mind is somewhat resistant against telepathic abilities.

Personality: With an almost animalistic side and driven by a desire to survive thanks to whatever happened to her before ending up at Xavier's school, Penance is feral and skittish, rarely interacting with the others and entering the mansion out of fear, perhaps in time, she will start trusting the others more. When she does trust someone enough to start approaching them, she comes across as curious yet naive, and once having befriended anyone, she won't hesitate to protect them.

Physical Description: Penance's skin is completely red and her hair, also the same colour and density as her skin breaks off into multiple long spikes. Her fingers are long claws, being sharp enough to slice diamond. Also Penance's eyes are completely blue with no sign of the pupils, this doesn't impair her vision though.

History: Penance's history is virtually unknown, she was found unconcious, naked and abandoned on the institute's front steps, with a sign reading "My Penance" lying next to her and freaked out on waking up, nearly trashing the infirmary until Professor-X eventually broke though her mental resistance. Further mind-probes have revealed a name, an age and an unknown, but war-torn country of origin. For the most part, she lives in the mansion grounds.

Other: Penance has a fondness for apples and can be easily bribed by one. She seems to react badly to images of elephants, either in books and magazines or on television.

Ooooh. This was not the Penance that I originally thought you were planning to play.

I've looked her up though now, and I think you should just check out the Wiki page because there seem to be some inconsistencies in terms of names... Sorry about all the hassle.

Like I said, I'm going with the backstory originally planned for her, even though those plans never made it to the comics.

Do you mean for the name Yvette? I think that would be fine, but the only thing I'm worried about is that there's another character with the codename Penance (and he's a character who is a little more widely known as far as I know >.<).

Well, did he come along before or after Generation-X?

Umm probably after, but according to the Wiki page, her codename got changed... I mean it would only really be a problem if someone came along wanting to play the other Penance... and I just think this problem would be a lot harder to solve at THAT time than it is to solve it now, but I'm not sure what the solution is exactly.

Fair enough. Either way, I think it would be best to deal with the problem when it arises. Just know that if we do run into that problem, I don't want it to turn into a battle over names. As it is now though, Penance is yours. :)

*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.
