This all seems pretty damn awesome. A lot of research and a lot of thought went into this so far. I can't wait to start writing the stories I have planned. I just need a few more bios up and I can start getting to work on the story itself. But having just one person read it has made it feel like it was worth it. Do you have any characters you would like to see get a bio? |

Angel was actually kind of fun to write because I did a lot of research on bird anatomy and physiology, in order to make Angel more realistic. Fun fact: Angel's organic wings in the comics should not be able to provide him with fast flight, or tight maneuverability. Both are things he is most well known for. So in order to keep his reputation, I decided to make his wings justify the reputation. My version should be able to realistically beat the pants off of 616 in a race and a flight obstacle course. |

I never even thought of that before, that's awesome. Having the 4 wings also makes him look better imo too

I was lucky I was able to find a picture that fit perfectly the image I had in mind. The artist for this was actually painting an archangel from the Bible but I just had to have it. 4 wings and strikingly beautiful. Exactly what I had in mind for Angel. |

I'm kind of stalled on just how different I want to make Emma, Colossus, and Storm from their 616 counterparts.
Colossus for example started out so young and innocent as a farmer and over the years, has evolved into a very angry, almost murderous character. His Ultimate counterpart started out as an arms dealer and evolved into a steroid user. I think I would like to keep a lot of the 616 elements but I want to change something so you are not reading just the same old tune.
Maybe I can sprinkle in some current events into his character. Make him a very anti-American Ruskie that thinks Americans are all murderous psychopaths.

Maybe his real parents were tortured and killed by American agents for some reason, and then they realized the Russians they killed had a baby. So they decided to use him to help with their cover and ended up raising him. And then one day when he's older he somehow finds out the truth.
Maybe Emma is really ugly and awkward and never got any surgery and instead casts an illusion to make herself appear flawless.
And maybe they're both double agents?
...I dunno, I'm bad at creative writing lol

I was actually planning on making Emma average/below average physically. She will be a teen in my reboot so I do like the idea of her casting a psychic illusion for the sake of appearing attractive. I think I will incorporate that.
Might make for some high school fun in some stories.
The Colossus thing I am not feeling but I will play around with it over the weekend. I might not get around to him until later. I like waiting until I think I have it perfect lol. Working on Emma right now though.

I got the Emma one up but I think I am going to rework it a bit. I am not entirely happy with it in its current form.

Actually on a second read, it seemed fine. The stuff I want to put in there, I can just add in the actual stories.

Any change you're working on Nightcrawler? Oh I was going to but got distracted by other characters that are currently up. I will try to get something for Nightcrawler by the end of this week. |

Yay! I love the Emma one! That was a really cruel, dysfunctional, twisted family. I had to look up Osteogenesis Imperfecta, I was like what? lol And not that it's that important, but the Emma pic at the end felt like it didn't really fit, just cause the others look more real. postimage.org/image/ufwjqxhwr/40814873/for Emma? |

Yeah I was looking for a realistic pic of Emma for an hour today before I got tired of it lol. I chose Warren Louw's Emma because he draws impossibly beautiful women and I thought, maybe with Emma being a teenager still, her impulse might be to project an impossibly beautiful likeness, you know? The picture you chose is a very beautiful woman but it seems like a photo. I wanted to keep all my pictures paintings or drawing that just look very realistic when I could find it. Not only that, but the woman is kind of in her late 20s early 30s. My Emma is still a teen where my story begins. Most everyone is going to be teens again actually. |

What I mean is that these are just bios to set the groundwork for the story I will be writing. So that readers can be familiar with characters coming into my series I am going to try and do in my spare time. The bios are not the stories I will focus on, though I might revisit them for detailed exploration in flashback "episodes" or whatever.
So Emma, like many in my story, will be a teen.

Understandable. Ya I remember you wrote her as 14, I just wasn't sure if she had stayed the same age by the end.
The pic was Sienna Miller btw.
Ya the pic works for her - making herself exceedingly beautiful an all. I can't think of anything else, other than something form her mini but I can't remember...At least you didn't use January Jones or that other girl from origins lol

The attack on the school happens in 2019, so Emma is 17 by the time my story is going to start. I kept most of her age vague during the bio, with only 14 land-marked because I wasn't entirely sure I wanted the timeline pinned down for her. I will probably go back and add more age "pins" to make her growth a little more clear later.
I will keep a lookout for pictures for her. What I have in mind is not an ugly girl, but one that you would not normally consider attractive without her illusion but I wanted the illusion to be neck-breaking perfect. I eventually plan for her to get plastic surgery so she matches her own idea of perfection later.
