outpostoverlordsSo you want to join our happy family? Great! A few things to bear in mind before you attack the spec sheet:
1. There is a sheet for both canon and OC's.
2. While there is no formal approval process, your sheet will be reviewed by the mods for any possible modifications and revisions before you are approved to enter the game. Please don't stress about the game! We're trying to keep things easy as possible.
3. As we work to reboot the game and this new location - the rules are subject to revision and refinement. The OOC page will continue to be noted about changes. Please be aware and keep up to date on things.
4. You must review all of the rules and FAQ. Ignorance is no excuse.
5. Post as a reply to this thread and wait until you're given the all clear to join.

DW: anexquisitecreature
Character: Raven Darkhölme, aka Mystique
Canon: X-Men
Version: Standard canon, with CRAU
Canon Point: the end of Days of Future Past
Age: appears early 20s, is actually late 30s
History:
Presumably abandoned by her parents as a small child, Raven met Charles Xavier after breaking into his house and scrounging for food. She was disguised as his mother. He called her out on her disguise, and she revealed her ability to shift forms. He shared his own powers, and she became his adoptive sister. They’re still close some twenty years later when he graduates from Oxford, and after revealing their abilities to a secret government agency they form a group with other mutants they find, including Erik Lehnsherr – also known as Magneto. Raven takes great joy in bestowing these nicknames on them all, and collectively they become the X-Men. They stop the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the group splintered in the middle of it; Erik and Charles had a difference of opinion on mutant rights, and Raven chose to go with Erik, who was for being open about their abilities as more than humans.
There is a ten year gap in the timeline between First Class and Days of Future Past. Assumptions can be made that Raven remains with Erik and the other mutants who chose his vision of their future, but that they split when Erik was incarcerated for allegedly murdering JFK. At some point around this event, mutants had been picked off, experimented on, and killed by Trask Industries. Raven had been searching for Trask and his labs and seeking a way to bring them down, and fully inhabits her mutant self as Mystique.
Two timelines potentially evolve from 1973. In one, Mystique successfully kills Bolivar Trask, but it leads to government approval of his mutant-killing Sentinels that themselves mutate thanks to her own DNA and dooms their world to a dystopian nightmare where mutants are hunted and killed.
To prevent this, Wolverine is sent back in time to try and change the past.
Mystique ends up living the second timeline, where she’s prevented from killing Trask at a Paris peace talk by a now-free Erik and Charles working together to convince her not to. Erik takes it too far to ensure the happy ending, and shoots her. She jumps out of a window, but he curves the bullet and it hits her calf. The pain makes her transform in public. The ensuing mutant struggle is caught by international media and mutants are inadvertently exposed to the world… and a scientist for Trask finds Mystique’s blood anyway.
Trask already had a device for tracking mutants, and this display gets his Sentinels the green light. Mystique tracks him to Washington DC where the President will be unveiling the Sentinels to the public. Erik also gets wind of this, and he arrives to put a stop to the whole shebang by actually intending to commit the crime he’d been imprisoned for a decade ago. Mystique stops him, shoots him in the neck to incapacitate but not kill, removes his helmet to give Charles access to his thoughts, and leaves them all behind.
And then the multiverse happens, because fuck continuity and I didn’t really like her arc in X: Apocalypse. /kanyeshrug
Strengths/Abilities:
Mystique is a mutant shapeshifter with the ability to psionically shift the formation of her biological cells at will to change her appearance and thereby assume the form of other humans and animals. She can also alter her voice to duplicate exactly that of another person. As a shape-shifter, Mystique is able to constantly alter and rejuvenate her body's cells and thereby retain her youthful appearance - she’s physically approaching forty, but appears not more than eighteen or twenty in either her natural or default form.
Damage to her biological tissue is known to heal at a relatively fast rate and she can form a resistance to poisons upon contracting them. Her powers grant her immunity to diseases, enhanced agility and strength, and agelessness.
Mystique is a cunning strategist in terrorist and commando operations, and adept at martial arts and information technology. She has a talent for finding, stealing, and understanding cutting edge weaponry. She is a talented actress and a polyglot, being fluent in over fourteen languages. Her mind is naturally unreadable owing to changing grey matter and she wears devices to prevent telepathic intrusion. Furthermore, with over a century's experience in posing as other people she has picked up the uncanny skill of being able to identify people posing as others based on body language and changes in behavioural cues.
Supply List:
The clothes on her back (taken from her previous game/s - jeans and a plain white t-shirt, military boots). With mod permission, a young dog, who will have followed her from three previous games; two handguns with ammunition; several wicked knives; a basic first aid kit, fire starting kit, and water purifier; and rations for people and the dopey dog.
CR Transfers (this must be cleared by mods):
PENDING MOD PERMISSION Raven will be arriving from a very brief stay in 10Forward, and prior to that, The Warehouse and Throne of Shadows. The first and last of these places were space ships, and she’s made the conscious decision (with Erik – prefers_magneto) to leave 10Forward for another planet. Any planet. So her pack has a survival kit. They’re trying to Boy Scout their way through the multiverse.
