Someday, Evan and Jono will have animated gifs. Someday. I'll have to animate them myself, of course, but...

Make do with Warren and Sparkle moving in the meantime, yeah?



EVAN SABAHNUR

- Is from the Marvel 616 universe. If you've never heard of him, that's understandable. He's only really been around for the better part of this year, and really only shows up in Wolverine & the X-Men and Uncanny X-Force.
- His codename is Genesis! Which, I imagine, comes from the writers being all clever because he happens to be a clone of Apocalypse. Or because Fantomex is a sick, sick bastard, and I'm so sorry Cable, oh my god.
- He was born and raised in Kansas, with his Ma and his Pa, and was trained to use his powers for good by his Uncle Cluster.
- He... doesn't actually know that his Ma and Pa don't really exist, that he's never set foot in Kansas, and his Uncle Cluster kind of killed the little boy he was cloned from.
- He's pretty aware of who he looks like, though. The students at his last school had no problem coming up with mean nicknames and insinuating that he's going to commit mass genocide and so on.
- But he's a sweetheart, I swear! A really good kid who happens to have, you know, all the powers of Apocalypse, just on a seriously less well-honed scale.
- So that would include flight (he uses a jetpack at the moment), shapeshifting (or, well, going all stretchy a-la Stretch Armstrong), energy projection (BOOM), as well as an assorted smattering of things that he hasn't really made use of, like telepathy, telekenesis, and technopathy. I'm going to say he just hasn't learned much about those three particular powers until canon tells me otherwise.
- His aura is scary. Like, dark and ominous, lurky and wrong scary. That reflects who he was cloned from, and he is desperate to never reflect that himself. Ever.
- You are totally welcome to have your character recognize who he looks like. It's pretty obvious. Either for those who know of Apocalypse, or those who'd just assume that he's related to that guy who works at the Boards. You'd be accurate either way.
- Once went on a field trip inside of his last school's janitor. Fandom is pretty normal in comparison to the Jean Grey School.



SPARKLE

- He's from a canon by the name of Habitat. It's a play written by the Canadian playwright, Judith Thompson.
- He likes singing loudly, lying blatantly, smoking, drinking, doing pot, breaking into people's homes and stealing useless crap, lighting things on fire...
- Sparkle has problems. Perhaps you could tell.
- This is because he came directly from a group home in Toronto, after a pretty rough life beforehand. You will never get to learn much about that life beforehand, except that it sucked, and he's not a stranger to sitting on the wrong side of the law.
- This is because of that lying blatantly part. One minute, he'll tell you he killed his parents, the next he'll make up some elaborate story about domestic abuse. He will almost always end up laughing in your face if you believe him.
- He cares more about how his nails look than you do. Trust me.
- And he's gay. And has this tendency to fall for people that he really shouldn't fall for. He will deny both things vehemently. Unless he's fallen for you, in which case there will be some measure of obsessing.
- He probably won't fall for you.
- He probably will try to steal your useless crap at some point, though. Unless he likes you, then he'll probably just implicate you as an accomplice
- His PB is Lou Taylor Pucci, from the Green Day video for Jesus of Suburbia. It's... pretty particular, so I'm kind of fortunate that the music video was over ten minutes long, huh?
- Sparkle Doesn't Care. Unless he does.



JONOTHON STARSMORE

- Another guy with funny lips from the Marvel 616 universe. Apparently that's my type right now? He's from a good chunk of X-Men related books, starting with Generation X, moving along into Uncanny X-Men, and settling lately in Wolverine & the X-Men. Currently, he's from somewhere in the middle of a kind of unfortunate New Warriors run.
- He used to be on fire. He also used to be not blue.
- You really, really shouldn't call him blue.
- He's making his teaching debut this semester, teaching a class aimed towards people who don't feel as though they belong. Not that he's got experience with that or anything.
- I'll be making another post around class sign-ups, asking for a TA and probably rambling about that class a little. I actually have a syllabus for this semester, go me!
- He's also currently running the boards along with oncourtandstage. While he's not teaching or running back and forth between Fandom and New York, he's comfy in his role as Musical Director/maintenance guy/dude who works the budgets.
- He knows music. He knows music better than you. All the music. All of it.
- Which is one of many reasons why his power is sound-based. He pretty much got all of Banshee's powers, along with the ability to make hard-light constructs, when he joined the New Warriors.
- Theoretically, he also has the potential to develop all of the same powers that I listed up there for Evan. He never will. He DENIES THEM. Denies them VEHEMENTLY.
- He also speaks with a British accent that has mellowed out some after nearly a decade spent in America. I have decided that it gets more Cockney the drunker he gets.
- He can't hold his alcohol the way he used to. Uh. Before he lost his face.
- That doesn't stop him from trying.



WARREN WORTHINGTON III

- Is from that three-minute short about Warren that they made a few years back. I think it was called X3: The Last Stand or something like that...
- Would you rather I have another blue-skinned Apocalypse-tainted angry boy?
- Don't answer that.
- He just recently graduated from Fandom High and, after a summer hanging out with glacial_witch in Glacia, he'll be joining life_inshadow in the fall to go to UC Sunnydale because we think that would be awesome.
- He has wings. Big, white, fluffy, feathered bird wings. He doesn't hide them around the island, but once he goes to Sunnydale, he will be.
- He won't enjoy that hiding part.
- He recently inherited a miniature goat from ultron_junior after a wild night of drinking. He has no idea what the hell to do with a miniature goat, no.
- He also has Daddy Issues. Which tend to happen when your father devotes a decade of your life to finding a wonder drug that will miraculously strip you of two limbs.
- He's still pretty soft-spoken compared to other Warren Worthingtons, since his dad also made him strap his wings down and hide inside since the day he manifested.
- He is never going to put on tights and run with the X-Men. Black leather, maybe... But the powder blue spandex look is not for him.
- Oh, and he has more money than God.
- But not more than Tony Stark.



SOME WEIRD CHICK

- Lives on the East Coast of Canada, in that weird Atlantic timezone that most of you deny is a real thing.
- Works in the animation industry! This would be way more exciting if the show I was working on wasn't, you know, Tilly and Friends.
- Okay, no, that's still pretty awesome. It means I'm technically making preschooler cartoons for the BBC.
- I've recently had to pull two of my adult characters from the game because my availability took a hit for the sake of that particular show. I'm still right in the thick of crunch, but this project ends around mid-September, and then hopefully it'll be on to bigger and more exciting things.
- Is currently painting a My Little Pony up to look like Archangel. Might have issues.
- Can be reached on AIM via raspberryturk or soldierhonour, and e-mail at thane.incarnadine (at) gmail (dot) com.
- Careful, I bite have been informed that I am not a biter. So, careful, I nom.
