The good news is he can never be rid of them. No cure or power-stealing ability has ever worked on him. Also, he is not publically registered as he legally doesn't exist. That along with his program being scrapped and wiped mean that there are almost no records of him. <br/><br/>Rober might not have been seen as a mutant before he went to the school. Before that, he traveled the world and switched names every 20 years or so. <br/><br/>So, Darwin might have zero legal records and Robert's real records only came out when he got to the mansion and had to be registered. At which point they realized that a 97-year-old war hero who had gone missing was really a mutant doctor. Just read the world building stuff and thought about their actual relations with the government. In short, don't mention Darwin at meetings with the government and maybe bring Robert who thinking about it probably has a lot of medals on his uniform somewhere. <br/><br/>Like the Service Star, Italy Star, and France and Germany Star for one. Then The Royal Red cross and bar and The Victoria cross and bar. He saved a lot of lives and did a lot of things that should have killed him but didn't so he earned those. Thinking about it, he is probably also a Member of The Most Noble Order of Garter considering his military service and awards. Which would mean he was at one point knighted although he may have lost membership in that group when he suddenly disappeared. So up to the GM if he is actually Sir Robert Smith still.<br/><br/>I also just researched the military awards for the UK which was slightly fun.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Anyone who came to the school willingly might manage to get away with not being registered as Charles keeps most things to himself. Of course any mutant forced to go there will have been registered before being handed over to Charles.<br/><br/>So he'll keep Darwin entirely a secret and Robert having a distinguished military is a huge plus for the X-Men in government relations. He's proof that mutants can be gentle, loyal and excel at some of the most respected jobs in the world.<br/><br/>I honestly don't know how knighthood works. I believe it would remain if someone disappeared. It remains even after you die. I  think the only way to 'lose' knighthood is to be disgraced in some manner, and he hasn't been. Being a mutant isn't cause to lose it. So he can still be a Sir.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261903.msg12919640#msg12919640">Quote from: Ace Flyer on 20-01-2017, 14:28:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hmm...What if someone even asked him to do that? Rahne, for example, is struggling with her sexuality on top of everything else. I assume he would say no, which is perfect, but it could add another level of layer to their talk. If you'd ever want to, writing out at least one of their talks might be interesting. She's been at the school for a year now, just starting her second year there. He's probably seeing some gradual improvement with her, which could be when she tries to see if he can "fix" her.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He wouldn't do it. Even if she literally begged/screamed and lost her mind at him there is no way he would ever be able to bring himself to do it. He considers every human mind sacred and beautiful, and just cutting out parts of people is a line he is not comfortable with crossing. I imagine some of the other X-Men will be very aggravated as it would only take him seconds to twist the minds of various members of the U.S government to make things better. But he knows that it'd have consequences. People would notice and suspect him and he can't control the entire government. And the biggest single problematic person, Magneto, he cannot really do anything to.<br/><br/>In short this version of Charles is extremely powerful but seriously shackles himself out of fear of what he might do if he literally tried to 'control' the world and force things into his vision. He wants it to happen because others want it.<br/><br/>I'm definitely down for writing out some of their talks, and he would be really happy with any improvements she makes. Hurt a bit when she asks him to 'fix' her but he'd understand why she was saying it. It'd be painful for him to turn her down but he is a strong willed man and wouldn't cave. A lot of people might think he's weak because he's so gentle but he's very strong when it comes down to it.
