Charles's wall of text like bio is up. If anyone would like to make connections with him PM me and we can discuss it. Only deeper past ones for that though, as of course everyone knows him as their leader and I trust people to not say 'My character thinks he's too warlike and aggressive' or anything like that when he's mentioned. :p<br/><br/>I'd appreciate if people give a skim through of it if they'd like to get an idea of his background, how the X-Men of this universe showed up and a bit of Eric/Charles's past.<br/><br/>I'm also thinking I may place the Brotherhood member's character sheets into a worldbuilding thread and link to it. Otherwise the CS thread will get flooded. Since the only X-Man I should need to play is Charles and he's not taking up too much space, I'd say it's best to keep that thread to PC's + Charles and keep all the baddies locked up.<br/><br/>Made a couple of revisions to Charles after realising he would've been way too young for Korea in this timeline I had him fight in Vietnam. And moved Magneto's betrayal to be a lot more recent. This means any character who's been with the X-Men for over seven years would know Magneto as the kind, strong willed father figure who stood for the rights of mutants beyond all else. They'd have also known Blob, Sabretooth, Avalanche and Toad who were ones who went to join Magneto in the Brotherhood.<br/><br/>This timing update means that anyone there seven years ago actually witnessed Magneto break Charles's legs. Which would likely be a very scarring event for even the toughest people, as they would've been cast aside by Magneto before he crippled their mentor. Anyone who'd like to update a bio to mention this feel free to PM me with any questions about it. This event is likely one of the hushed dark rumours at the school, a horror story told about Magneto which Charles firmly disapproves of. He hates talk of it as it demonises a man he still cares about.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261903.msg12918459#msg12918459">Quote from: Ace Flyer on 20-01-2017, 00:08:27</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">True. And, has this Magneto also survived the Holocaust? I know sometimes he's a concentration camp survivor, sometimes he's not...If he is, that certainly adds more credence to his fears and why he does what he does.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Magneto will be a Holocaust survivor who lost his parents to a regime that segregated, hated and committed genocide against a group perceived as different. So, when faced with judgement against a group Magneto will fly into a raw rage and tear apart everyone around him. I just posted up a huge wall of text for Charles's bio that makes a handful of mentions of Magneto. I'm putting them both as old, old men. (Just over 80) so that they were about 9 by the end of WW2. Plus it works for faceclaims since that's only a couple of years younger than Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart now are, and those two are perfect for Charles and Max.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261903.msg12918479#msg12918479">Quote from: Juggtacular on 20-01-2017, 00:15:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Vulcan has been a slave his entire life. He's definitely against the governments actions. And while he does respect Magneto's message, he doesn't think doing the same thing he's trying to protect his people from is gonna do all that much. He is all for killing people if it's necessary though, although that's not his first go to(since Xavier started giving him therapy and counseling)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah there's absolutely a bitter irony to Magneto's actions. In his violent determination to stop any chance of humans committing genocide against mutants he is liable to commit genocide against them first. But those with emotions and thoughts that strong often end up contradicting themselves and having flawed logics, so I'm okay with the man strategy having a flaw like that.
