General Disposition: Paige is a friendly sort, although perhaps a little too fond of telling other people what to do. She works hard, plays hard, and finds it hard to tolerate laziness in others. She had a tendency to act a bit motherly to those younger than herself, often without even realizing that she's doing it. Oh, and let's not forget that she's crazy stubborn, can have a very quick temper, and is super-awesome at holding grudges.

Friends: Paige is the type of girl who has plenty of casual friends, simply because she was taught to always play nice with the other kids, but only a handful of close friends that she's comfortable really opening up to. Well, as much as she opens up to anyone, that is. On the plus side, she's normally very logical and rational, so she's pretty good with giving advice! Although she may come off a bit preachy with it.

Enemies: With her quick temper and slightly judgmental ways, it's pretty inevitable that she's rubbed more than a few people the wrong way. And if you were silly enough to get on her nerves, she's probably going to nurture those bad feelings for a long time. Forgiveness is not really her strong suit.

Lovers: Well, she has this kinda-sorta-definitely-really-awkward thing going on with Jono. She knows what she wants, but, well, Eeyore McEmo-pants is not making it easy on her. Needless to say they haven't made much headway as of yet so there's definitely a chance that someone easier else could attract her interest.

Other: Paige really looks up to the X-men (except Sam, of course) and really wants to be one of them. She's turned twenty-four now, and is getting especially antsy about the fact that next year she could be an X-man. Cue lots of throwing herself into any task/training she things will make her look like X-men material to Mr. Summers, because she knows he's the one she's really got to impress.

She's a big fan of knowing things as well, and she loves to pass that knowledge on (she is a teacher), so she'd be pleased as punch to act as mentor/adviser to a student. Tutoring time or even just acting as listening ear to voice your troubles to, though don't expect her to get all warm and cuddly and huggy to make you feel better - that's not really her style.

General Disposition: Well…she’s a cat. That pretty much sums it up for this feral mutant. The idea of humanity is still new to her, which can give her a certain child-like air of wonder when confronted with things others might consider commonplace. She is playful and affectionate, but also prone to spells of aloofness; enjoys spending time with others and on her own in equal measure. She feels it’s her job to protect those she’s fond of as she doesn’t feel they’re capable to protecting themselves (superiority complex much?) and will not hesitate to use violence to defend herself or her territory.

Friends: Of course her interpretation of these kind of terms is rather loose…pretty much anyone who treats her well would be considered a ‘friend’ in the werecat’s eyes. Someone she can convince to pet her when she wants it or throw things for her to chase or play laserlight (lordy how she loves to chase that little red dot!) with her. And if they prefer to make her act all human-y, she could probably stand for that in small doses.

Enemies: Equally broad in definition, this would be anyone who treats her (or cats in general) badly. Understandably she has a pretty low tolerance for that sort of thing, and it would take a small act of God to ever convince her that person was even the least bit trustworthy. Expect lots of hissing and general attempts to bite and/or scratch any part of you she can reach anytime she sees you.

Lovers: So serious relationships are pretty much out of the question until she’s become a little more adapted to human life (if she ever does).

Other: Nothing else really pops to mind, except maybe someone who feels the inclination to seriously attempt furthering her education in human ways. She’d be a seriously reluctant student, to say the least.

General Disposition: Jean is super nice, super helpful, and just an all-around nice gal. She's prone to working too hard and has a hard time saying no to people who ask her for help. She likes to take care of people, student and adult alike, and has an eensy little problem with a cosmic entity wanting to possess her brain and body. No biggie, though, because Jean doesn't like to tell anyone when something's wrong.

Friends: Obviously she's pretty easy to make friends with, unless you don't like nice people. To be honest most people would be considered more casual friends, with only a few getting to that coveted BFF status. She loves them all the same -- it's more a matter of how much Jean will reveal to them about herself that makes the difference. (Ororo is for realz her BFF, Lell. You do not get a say in this. xD)

Enemies: Jean is not really one to make enemies, unless you're foolish enough to try and hurt someone she cares for. Even then she would likely be one of the first to extend the hand of forgiveness if you make the effort to redeem yourself. She is a big believer in second chances.

Lovers: So obviously this spot is already taken. Jean loves her Scott to epic levels. <3

Other: She is the student counselor / doctor / headmistress, so there's about a bajillion things that can be going on here. Student needing a listening ear? Need some minor wounds looked after? Having an academic issue? SHE CAN'T SAY NO! So plot away to your heart's content, baby!

General Disposition: Wanda is a fairly quiet and reserved kind of girl, polite enough when spoken to but clearly not eager to get to know anyone terribly well. In fact, the only person she seems to care about at all is her brother Pietro. She finds her fellow Brotherhood members to be far too violent and/or destructive for her tastes and as such spends most of her time alone or with her brother. Outside of the Brotherhood she is still rather reluctant to get to know anyone, due in part to the fact that she's never really had good experiences with strangers.

Friends: Wanda hasn't really had much experience with friends, but there's a first time for everything, right? Just don't expect her to go out of her way to get to know you at first, though she's far from rude.

Enemies: Given her somewhat anti-social tendencies it's fairly unlikely that she's made any real enemies. Wanda's more the type to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, she is always quick and fierce when it comes to defending Pietro, so if she's to get in an argument with someone it's likely he's the topic.

Lovers: Even more unlikely than friends, if that's possible. Obviously her tendency to keep people at arm's length goes double when it comes to romantic relationships. Pietro's jealousy whenever she seems to be paying more attention to someone aside from him doesn't really help, because Wanda generally cares more for her brother's happiness than her own. Hardly the type to have a quick fling, anyone wanting to get involved with her had better have plenty of patience.

Other: Nothing else really pops to mind, but I'm always open to suggestions!
The things that make me weak and strange

General Disposition: FINALLY, a charrie that likes to have a good time! 'Bout time I got one of these. Anyways, Grace (because if you call her Clementine she will stab you with her stiletto) likes to party. A lot. She's generally a nice, bubbly sort of person, a bit self-absorbed certainly, but as long as you shower her with attention and compliments she'll happily accept you into her social circle. In some ways her brother has managed to be a good influence on her -- she doesn't care about gender, race, mutant status, income, etc when picking her friends, with her it's all about surrounding herself with people who are uglier than she is boost her ego. It's a good bet that if you watch TV/have seen a billboard/read the news you've seen her face at some point, whether it be in a lingerie ad or the big to-do some six months ago when the story broke about the district attorney's little sister being a mutie (what can I say? She's a drama queen). That being said, I am perfectly okay with anyone and everyone knowing her face, name (although bear in mind they'll know her as Grace, not Clementine), her status as a mutant and/or what her power is. Given that the cat has been out of the bag for a while now she doesn't bother trying to hide her gift, and has a tendency to blow bubbles in the faces of people who annoy her because she's a brat like that.

Friends: Grace has a biiiiig social circle, and she's always looking to expand it. Shopping buddies, drinking buddies, Starbucks buddies, whatever. She loves people, but more importantly loves people who give her attention as in many ways she never really outgrew that hyperactive, needy small-child phase. She's not necessarily the kind of friend who's gonna stick by you through thick and thin because she doesn't do deep emotional junk unless she absolutely has to, but she'll totally listen to you bitch about your lame boyfriend/boss/neighbor/whathaveyou. Until she gets bored, anyway.

Enemies Not too much to note here...she's probably more likely to have frenemies than actual enemies. She's shallow and tends to act very high-schooly in attitude, so she's sure to rub some people the wrong way with that sort of thing. She is completely and totally out as a mutant, so it's always possible that could cause her some trouble, and since she's been outed from the day her mutation first surfaced she's never really learned not to out other mutants, although if she did it would likely be an accidental slip rather than a malicious one. She's generally not the type to purposely hurt someone.

Unless they call her ugly, then it's on, bitch.

Lovers: Weeeeelllll, there are a lot of these in her past and likely to be plenty more in the future. Grace is all about having fun and not getting tied down, so usually when a relationship starts to get the least bit serious she finds an excuse to end it. In her subconscious she tends to assume that no one would want to be with her long-term anyway, and prefers to do the dumping rather than be dumped. Her tendency to drink herself stupid on a regular basis has led to few one night stands as well, although she tries to avoid it (unless he's really smexy). She's not too picky about the type of guy either, as long as they are reasonably good looking -- the jocks, the nerds, the bad boys -- they all appeal to her on a fairly equal basis.

Other: Um...she has the bestest brother ever? xD

(No, seriously. It's Simon Freaking Baker. With the smile, and the hair. Brothers don't get any better than that.)

ANYWAYS.

I think I've covered pretty much everything my tired, rambly little brain has to offer about darling Clemmy here, but basically I'm open to anything and everything for her. She really will try just about anything once, so the sky is the limit!

Rebirth

jay and paige
Obviously, we have the Guthrie trio thread, which is awesome, but I feel these two deserve some one on one time alone together - Jay does really like Sam, but I feel as if the younger Guthries can understand each other a little more based on living in golden boy's shadow. Also, it's not as if Sam and Jay actually talk in any useful way about how Jay's doing - they're too awkward. Paige might at least get to the point. xD

betsy and paige
do you ever have those awkward moments where you're not sure whether two characters would get along really well or hate each other? Betsy and Paige both work hard and play hard, but Bets has all the motherly instincts of a species that eats their young and is a lot less down to earth than a good, responsible girl like Paige so I don't know whether Paige would actually look up to her, in spite of Bets being an X-Man. Still, whether they can have fun together or bristle at each other a lot, there's some potential there, especially considering Betsy's surprising a lot of people with her whole 'haaaaay, casually back from the dead' thing.

'ro and paige
If you want an X-Man for Paige to look up to, 'Ro's a much better candidate. She's one of the senior X-Men and is actually known for mentoring people, unlike Bets. I think 'Ro could very easily see a lot of potential in Paige. Maybe some extra combat/leadership exercises or something?

mal and paige
All I know is that Mal would love to study Paige's power 'cause it would FASCINATE him...but BH/X-Men contact is fairly limited now, so idk?

terry and paige
Like Mal, I have ideas but not any idea how they'd actually execute them. Paige and Terry are quite similar - slightly bossy, but fun-loving and quite down to earth. It's a shame that Terry's a neutral civilian who doesn't even know that the X-Men exist!

Anyway, that's all my kids - sorry for just throwing them at you in the vain hope that something in there will spark an idea. Don't feel at all pressured to use any of the above, I was just vomiting potential plot stuff onto the page. xD

Mmmm, plot vomit! no wait... xD

Jay and Paige
Yes, definitely! She wouldn't have felt that same competitive nature towards Jay when they were growing up, which would make her much more likely to hang out with him casually. And I imagine she wouldn't feel too motherly towards him (compared with their younger siblings) since they're pretty close in age. Just motherly enough to nag him when something seems to be bothering him and not let up until he spills the beans.

Betsy and Paige
I imagine they'd have something of a hot-and-cold relationship. They'd probably get along alright on the surface, but tend to butt heads the more time they spend together. With Paige slowly starting to wonder how someone as irresponsible as Betsy gets to be an X-man. xD But she'd still have serious respect for her abilities (because it's always smart to respect someone who can kick your ass), and would looove to get some pointers from her on fighting.

Ororo and Paige
Ororo is absolutely someone Paige would hold up on a pedestal. Not just the blanket respect that every X-man tends to get from her, but she'd seriously admire the ability that Storm has to keep her emotions in check and be so calm and serene all the time. Paige is pretty terrible at that kind of thing. And she'd be frikkin' thrilled at any extra attention/advice/training.

Mal and Paige
Yeah, aside from the random street run-in not sure how else they would meet one another...although Paige would probably enjoy listening to him give her a geeked-out science lecture. xD Perhaps we table these two for later?

Terry and Paige
Pretty much the same for these two. Paige isn't really the kind to spend time in a jazz bar...much too busy being busy to relax like that, but they'd probably be thick as thieves once they got to know one another! Terry might even be able to teach Paige to take life a little less seriously and relax every once and a while.

Okay, less plot vomit this time - much more targeted. -has focussing hat on-

SO, I may have come up with a way for Terry and Paige to meet - she's currently in need of someone to come scare off Hyena in this thread because I seem to be trying to get her killed in her very first rp on this site. Whoops. AND it can double as some offscreen Jay/Paige bonding time because Sable advises, to stop anyone getting hurt, us to have at least two Xers coming to scare Hyena away without too much trouble. I don't mind having two characters in one thread, so that could be fun if you're up for it. Jay could have 'dragged' her into the city, maybe, if we need a reason for them being there.

And even if you're not, some sort of Danger room thread is what I've been craving recently - 'Ro/Paige thread maybe? It would be nice maybe to have them have an established relationship/routine where 'Ro gives her extra sessions when she can?

(hahah, I love how the above ramble counts as 'more targeted' in my book.)

Is it terrible that I literally giggled out loud at that last bit? xD

Also, YES to both of those ideas! I could totally see Paige grumbling because Jay made her leave a big stack of papers ungraded to go gallivanting around the city. Until they (of course) manage to find someone in trouble and Paige gets to act all tough-girl. Although Hyena would totally give her the heebie-jeebies.

Double yes to Danger Room time with Storm, also. Having an established routine sounds perfect. So which would you like to do first? I suck at starters, but I'd be willing to start a 'Ro/Paige danger room thread. I know you have fifty-billion threads going on at the moment.

YAY. Yes to both is good. Basically, Jay and Paige could join in after the next Hyena post I think, with Sable's permission, then we'd be good to go!

As for Paige/'Ro, I never say no to threads. <3 I can start 'cause I have some muse on my hands now.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! Also, you are my hero. <3 Have virtual cookies as a reward!

You might want to take those cookies back, it's not my best starter. xD But have a thread all the same!

Updated with my new baby! Please to make plot bunnies with her. <3

Amelia and Paige
I agree that these two could be fun together, especially 'cause Paige has some serious old-fashioned values and would heartily disapprove of the way Amelia makes a living...and would probably feel compelled to 'save' her from it. xD Just not sure how these two would wind up running into one another -- Paige doesn't spend too much time outside of the mansion, but mayhaps we can figure something out!

Amelia and Catseye
Obviously this one is much easier to work out. xD Catseye is totally the type to scope out any new arrival in her territory; gotta make sure she's not going to anything crazy like mess with the feral's new family. Perhaps Catseye stalks finds her when she's exploring the brotherhood base?

Amelia & Catseye sound the easiest to thread right now, but we can come up with something for Paige/Amelia eventually! That sounds positively hilarious, the two of them arguing about morals and whatnot since the two are on two totally different planets. I'm excited! I'll thread just about anywhere.

Now all I have to do is teach Paige not to be such a work-a-holic. xD But in the meantime, Amelia/Catseye thread! Would you like to start, or shall I?

Could you possibly start? I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment xD

Sure! Just as soon as I get home from this awful place known as work. lol.
