Character Journal:
Canon: Xenoblade Chronicles
Brief Personality: Book nerd with super smarts as a power. Often worries more about others than himself and genuinely wants to be a benefit and help. Believes in people making their own fate and that hard work will benefit everyone in the long run. But generally just a nice guy who tends to be more rational than impulsive.
Brief AU History: Born and raised in England, Shulk was accepted at Cambridge University at the ridiculously young age of 12 and received his doctorate at the age of 16. For anyone who keeps up on modern scientific advances, his name is attached to many recent advancements in the research of light and particles of light.
Joined School: Recently was accepted to teach at the school and just arrived within the last month.
FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: N/A
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: All book people, maybe! Also anyone willing to help him gain some experience since he is seriously lacking it. His ears are open for all advice.

Canon: The Wicked Years
Brief Personality: Dolorous Edd+war guilt+mutant radicalism+Well Done Son Guy. Still kindof figuring himself out.
Brief AU History: Son of a famous mutant insurgent in Oz (which is in the North Atlantic, about at the latitude of Gibraltar). Joined the army when she died, did some bad stuff under orders as a grunt, got himself a boyfriend there, found out the army was using his mother's research, decided to burn all the things. Most recently involved in the riots and recruiting a mutant radical team.
Joined School: about 10 months ago
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
-Liir is a mutant radical. That means he needs both political friends and enemies. People who expect things out of him because of his heritage (which will take some digging to find) are especially appreciated. He's especially looking for recruits for Gene Nation, the x-team most aligned with Renko.
-People need to help him work through his guilt from his time in the army. Someone who has experience working with vets who did bad stuff might help.
-busybodies who can help him get over his shyness a bit and learn to have fun

Canon: Haibane Renmei
Brief Personality: Reki's the classic Cool Big Sis type: easygoing, knows about all the things you wanna know about but still protective. She can be a bit of a night owl and sometimes dissapears for days while painting. Underneath all that, she's got some major guilt/deppression issues, tied into her memory problems.
Brief AU History: Reki woke up in eastern Europe with no memory of her previous life and wings emerging from her back. She spent a long time in a special institution for people with her exact problem, but she ended up falling into conflict with the authorities there. On leaving, she pursued a career in the underground arts scene and helped teach it to Morlock kids in Japan. She came to Xavier's six years ago but was one of the people caught by the Phoenix Incident and only recently woke up.
Joined School: Six years ago, technically, but only woke up about the beginning of the year
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
-Reki will be heading back to Romania sometime soon and investigating some weird shit/her own origins. If you've read Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World, it will look familiar to you. Wanna go there with her, or encounter her out there or help?
-Reki needs people to feel useful to in order to feel good about herself. She's drawn to those in need of help and protection
-Do you like art? Wanna recognize her? Embarrass her about it?
-Her permissive teaching style probably brings her into conflict with straight-laced types. Could use some to show that.
-I'm so down for logging just completely mundane stuff. Wanna have our pups meet while shopping at the thriftstore? Doing laundry?

Character Journal:
Canon: Elfen Lied
Brief Personality: She tends towards irritable, abrasive, and arrogant most of the time, quiet but Silently Judgmental or just flat-out ignoring someone/the world the rest. Amongst her many issues are a violent streak not quite a mile wide but close that usually only comes out when she feels especially threatened; she's been behaving lately, though. And she's made a promise not to kill anyone.
She might still break a nose, though. She doesn't ask questions when violence happens.
Brief AU History: Born near Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kaede hasn't...had the best start in life. Many of her issues spun out from the stressful ball of anxiety her early life turned into after she was fostered out to parents who got in over their heads.
Also she kind of killed her mom. By accident, but she's still the combobreaker of Team Dead Moms because of that.
These issues got worse when she was transferred to another facility where she became increasingly violent and sadistic, until she killed again—and her only friend Aiko was shot by police when they mistook her for Kaede. She still assumes they did so to make her suffer more.
So she really hates humans right now, uniformed police especially. Other mutants, though, are something she hasn't interacted much with and so is still in the Idle Curiosity mindset.
Joined School: This spring
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas:
-She was planning on volunteering at an animal shelter after the semester ended but then Sinister Happened. She still wants to but might not be able to depending on if the virus becomes an issue.
-Kaede still really needs training on her telepathy, especially now that she's part of a team. At the moment she has trouble telepathically communicating with others in ways they (and Kaede) understand.

Character Journal:
Canon: Touhou Project
Brief Personality: Growing up alternately in an isolation room as much as a normal house with well-adjusted and supportive parents, Flandre's a bit...odd. Usually kind and polite, she jumps to conclusions sometimes and can be a bit stubborn. She loves her sister very much and tends to get cranky if she hears bad things about her regardless if they're correct or not.
Brief AU History: Born around Nantes, France, Flandre had the standard Rich European Parents Upbringing with the added bonus of being shoved into a mutant-resistant box every once in awhile to keep her powers from killing anyone. It didn't work once. Though once her wings and their power limiters installed, she could experience things somewhat normally! And grew about two feet. She originally went to the Institute because it was a place where she could (somewhat) safely attend school, now she's here because she has a job to do, namely trying to be an X-man.
Joined School: Threeish years ago; she's been around awhile, including a year before stasis.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: She doesn't have any major plans for the summer; she wants to visit her family at some point, but depending on if the Sinisterplague turns into something worrying she'll put that off in favor of fretting she might be a carrier.

Alric Caelegart
Character Journal:
Canon: Original
Brief Personality: Alric is a prince and knight and takes those roles seriously, dedicated to decorum, respect, justice, and nobility; however, he's had to learn all that, and at heart is as much a fierce Aries as anyone ever, although he does his best to keep that carefully covered over in propriety and formality. He works hard to be the best he can and to find ways to make a positive difference--at present, through the Institute, and eventually, when he succeeds his father.
Brief AU History: In childhood, between his fierce personality and his incendiary powers, Alric had to struggle constantly for self-control. As a young teenager, he was catapulted from a side-branch of the royal family of the small European nation of Kaitheny to being Crown Prince. The stresses of that environment forced him to develop his self-control further, and as part of his path to self-mastery, he sought membership in a prestigious knightly order. As a knight-errant, he is charged with performing good deeds, and the Institute was his venue of choice--as well as an opportunity to pursue greater mastery over his powers, beyond merely a tight grip.
Joined School: August 21st 2014, I think
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Always looking for more musicpals, powerpals, and swordpals. Also, above all, looking for another couple of members for his Guardian Dragons x-team, the only other member currently being Tiamaris.

Character Journal:
Canon: Tokyo ESP
Brief Personality: Rinka is a kindhearted, empathic person, who is really protective of her friends. If she sees something wrong, she'll try to do something about it, whether that means kicking ass and taking names or providing a shoulder to cry on. She's also extremely practical and frugal, and a bit of a romantic.
Brief AU History: Rinka grew up poorer than a church mouse. Her ex-cop father was pushed out of the police force for trying to root out corruption (and for being a mutant) and afterwards couldn't hold down a steady job. By high school Rinka was working part-time at a restaurant to make ends meet. By chance she encountered a boy just as her mutant powers emerged, and he soon had her running around Tokyo as a mutant vigilante duo, protecting the public from mutants who were misusing their powers. Trained from childhood in martial arts by her father, Rinka is a capable fighter, even without her mutant power.
Joined School: Beginning of September, last year
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Rinka is a very active girl! She needs running buddies for her early morning runs. I'm also looking for sparring buddies for her as well, for both aikido and kali/eskrima.
She the token girl of X-Factor. Weekends she works at a fancy-schmancy cafe in town.

Canon: Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz
Brief Personality: Alex is charming, but reserved. Outside of sports teams, he has trouble working as part of a group. He is self-reliant and independent to a fault. And even though he tries to present a carefree and nonchalant attitude, his cynicism often peeks through.
Brief AU History: Alex grew up in London, England with his uncle, Ian. Life was great until his uncle died shortly after Alex turned 14. As it turned out, Ian was a spy. And a mutant. Plus, Ian's boss knew all about the fact Alex was a mutant. Through some very underhanded emotional manipulation, Alex was forced to became an operative. Over the next year and a half, he completed nine 'missions'. Some were at the behest of MI6, and for some he was 'loaned out' to other agencies, including the CIA and the ASIS. This all concluded last summer with the worst 'mission gone wrong' ever. MI6 reluctantly terminated its usage of Alex and allowed him to move to the States. He attempted to attend a 'normal' school at first, but various events changed his mind.
Joined School: Beginning of October, last year
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Alex is heavily involved in sports. Soccer, tennis, rowing, biking, skiiing, scuba diving, you name it he's probably tried it. He also studies karate and is a black belt.
Eventually, eventually, I'd like for him to get on a training team. Either a home-front defense team or, depending on various things, a more espionage focused team. As of right now, he has no desire to be on any sort of training team and would flat out turn down anyone who offered.

Character Journal:
Canon: Attack on Titan.
Brief Personality: ANGRY YELLING. Ah, Eren is a nice person and cares for others, but tends to be reckless and doesn't think before he talks. He's impassioned and stubborn and can be wrongheaded.
Brief AU History: Raised by a splinter group of the Friends of Humanity after his parents were killed (though the full story is a bit more complicated), Eren developed some highly questionable views about mutants. Everything changed when his own mutant powers emerged, and his adoptive family tried to kill him—which they considered an act of mercy, but still, horrible. Eren is still dealing with things. Many things.
Joined School: He was at the school for a few months last year, but left around the holidays when he suffered a mental breakdown and was taken to another facility for treatment. At this point, he's been back for about three months.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Eren still considers himself a Friend of Humanity, so he argues with people a lot. I'm up for more arguing, and also for people Eren can somehow manage to get along with. He's getting better, but he still has some awful views. Mentors or people to help him deal with his issues would also be great.

Character Journal:
Canon: Fate/Zero
Brief Personality: Weird girl. Likes violence and gore. (Over)dramatic. Not entirely stable.
Brief AU History: Gilberte was born in France, in Bretagne. She was always weird, but wasn't a bad person. When her adored best friend was killed by anti-mutant terrorists, she completely lost her mind and lost control of her powers, resulting in a bloody Paris massacre. She hasn't regained her sanity and is deeply troubled, but has been deemed able to interact with people again without killing them. That's good!
Joined School: She's been out and about for a few months, but she first arrived at the school a year ago. It's just that at first, she was sedated and in a holding cell.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Gilberte loves to recruit people into the drama club, so if your character has any interest in that, she will be all about it. She is pro-mutant rights and anti-human, considering them inferior beings, while mutants are "evolved". She would be willing to work with anyone with similar views. However, she's easily distracted and is a terrible ally, unless someone likes causing messy spectacles or can manage to keep her in line. She is chatty, and she loves to talk about drama and poetry! Friends would be welcome, but Gilberte can also be pissed off and decide she hates people, if you would like less positive CR. I'm up for anything, really.
Oh yes, she is also on Team 4, but she failed to assist her team during the event, oops.
If anyone wants to have heard about her Paris incident on the news, that works for me, too.

Character Journal:
Canon: Axis Powers Hetalia
Brief Personality: Ivan is childlike in a way, his emotional growth stunted, and his isolation having given him a certain naivete. He's cheerful and friendly, but he doesn't understand others' feelings or boundaries.
Brief AU History: [CW for abusive neglect.]
Ivan is the only son of a Russian oligarch. When his powers manifested early, his father grew aware of them. In fear and suspicion of his son, he sent him away to an isolated holding in Siberia, where he lived for nearly ten years cut off from the rest of the world. Now that his father is dead, he's inherited everything, and he's coming to the Institute to learn more about people and mutants.
Joined School: He's a new arrival! He just showed up.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Everything! Ivan is new, so he especially wants to make friends, friends, friends. And more friends. Unfortunately, sometimes this means utilizing his powers, as he isn't above mental manipulation, even if he doesn't always mean to do it. But I won't do anything with this without permission, so I put up a permission post here. You can let me know if it's okay for Ivan to manipulate your character. If so, we can work out what's okay, but if not, that's fine with me.
People who can show Ivan around and teach him about the world would be great, but I also have no problems with antagonism.

Canon: Mortal Kombat
Brief Personality: Jacqui is a soldier in a world that won't allow her to be one, raised by a loving family and here out of concern by them, rather than fear from them. She's cool, collected, and pretty disciplined and well trained. Despite never being allowed to serve officially, she's really rather fond of the military and her family's history with them. Loyal almost to a fault and committed to making herself a better person each day she wakes, her dedication is matched only by her stubbornness, whenever it rears its head.
Brief AU History: At first raised in the heart of a military community, the moment her powers manifested, her parents left and took her with them. Raised on a farm out in the country, she was trained like a soldier by her father. Through it, she learned much of the control over her powers that she has today. It wasn't until a grave incident nearly killed her that her parents realized they could not do enough for her, and sought help beyond their capabilities.
And so she arrived here.
Joined School: Brand new, arrived as of June of this year
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Everything for now, as she is a fresh face in this school. Jacqui has been raised and treated like a soldier for much of her adolecent life by her father, and is in general a military fan girl.
Since her powers are all touch base (electricity generation), and as per her upbringing, anything that would let her either learn to control her abilities or let her learn to apply them different would be amazing. Beyond that, antagonism and general friendship/team building would both be met with enthusiasm and glee.

Brief AU History: Orphan who was adopted by a baker and his wife who went on to join the army and then returned home to work in the bakery named after her by her adoptive dad. Powers first manifested themselves when she was making a delivery to Xaviers and the attack happened.
Joined School: Immediately after the attack. She wakes up and asks to stay to find out what happened to her.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: She's a friendly person so she's looking for friends. She's also going to want to start a baking club of some sort once she's settled in. So if anyone wants to start a baking club. She'll also be regularly up early in the morning to run and workout. Outside of that most of her fun time will be in the kitchen just baking treats. It's what she loves to do so I hope ya'll like delicious bread foods.

Brief Personality: Flirty and party-prone when off the job, terrifyingly serious when on it. Do not damage the library while she is around.
Brief AU History: Carlyn's life was happy and more or less normal until the wings showed up. She quickly became an introvert when she realized that the wings were making anyone who could see them be friendly to her against their natural wills - and her wants. A meeting with Emma Frost - the first person to be immune to Carlyn's powers she had ever met - led to her figuring out how to control her abilities, not only turning them off, but being able to induce different emotional states.
She's a proud staffer of the Xavier Institute, but has also worked with SHIELD a few times. The latest one ended just after Mister Sinister's appearance on campus.
Joined School: Carlyn first came to the school as an adjunct staffer six years ago - before the Phoenix incident (which had the odd effect of draining away some of her age. She's legally 28 but physically 23.)
FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS any important information to fill in between the last time the game was open and now?: Carlyn doesn't talk much about her SHIELD op - only that it was deep-undercover, and that it was kind of important. Her return to the school in the wake of Mister Sinister's arrival was certainly unexpected, but for at least a few people, welcomed.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: Whatever the SHIELD operation actually was is up to the mods... As is the potential for fallout from it following Carlyn home.
More than that, she needs drinking buddies on staff, gaming buddies among both students and staff, and she'll be glad to help you with your student projects if you want to toy with that idea.
Is it okay to make Test Drive threads game canon?: Sure.

Canon: Circle of Magic books by Tamora Pierce
Brief Personality: Affectionate and outgoing, Sandry sees potential friendship everywhere, and she will pursue those friendships with mule-headed stubbornness. A good listener with a big heart, Sandry also possesses an urge to fix things when she sees wrong, though she often steps on toes in her attempts to do good.
Brief AU History: Born into wealth and privilege, Sandry traveled the world with her parents until they were killed in an earthquake this past winter. Trapped for three days, Sandry was left with claustrophobia and an overpowering fear of the dark. Sent to live with her great-uncle, the ruler of a tiny European nation, Sandry tried to attend a regular school until her being a mutant caused friction between her and the other students. Now she comes to Xavier's, searching for a home and, as always, friends.
Joined School: Mid-June, this year.
Plans/CR seeking/other ideas: All the friends. Sandry loves making friends, a lot. She's very good at being patient, and being stubborn.
Crafting! Sandry loves sewing and knitting and anything that involves thread or fabric. She'll totally be joining Feliks' Costume Club, but a general craft club could be fun too, or just craft buddies.
Someone to teach her how normal people live. She's well-traveled and has experienced a lot of cultures, but she's not really ever had to do much for herself. Like, laundry or simple cooking.
Sandry is still grieving her parents and her nanny. So she might need some help with that.
