ooc_367 | PRE-GAME OOC CHATTER POST

The game timeline can be found here.

Take a look and drop any questions, requests, etc. here!

Introduce (or reintroduce) your character to the group! Now's a good time to add new details, seek specific connections, establish how characters might've gotten along in the past, etc.

Yes, there's a lil' metaplot to help kick things off! (Sorry, Charles.) This will continue on in the background for a while as other matters take center stage, just to help keep the group focused on each other and the game moving along.

But how is your character feeling about/handling all that? Where is their lovely new mystery mark located?

From here down, it's anything goes. Have fun~

The timeline includes a handful of volunteer spots to let players pick up specific roles in pre-game plots. To claim one, post here.

Want to elaborate on what your character did during a past plot or add some shenanigans to a past plot? Let's discuss it here!

This could be things like specifying that your character was kidnapped during the Genosha events or that a small group of characters went on a wild accidental side quest in Mojoworld or that your character learned some truly unfortunate shit about their alternate future self during Days of Future Past. These are just noteworthy details for your character to carry with them moving forward.

Kurt was taken in by Xavier when he was 14, the first student at the school. He was even familiar with Erik before he and Xavier ~~broke up~~ parted ways for good. He sees Xavier as his adoptive father, whether or not that's explicitly voiced. He came from a foster situation in Germany where his foster sister nearly died, and his foster brother really resented him for it. Generally terrible childhood. Xavier whisked him away to America and the rest is history.

He's outwardly extremely optimistic and enthusiastic, big positive emotions, etc. but it often veers into toxic positivity. This whole leader thing is hard, and he finds some people on the team to be pretty frustrating :))))) (cough cough emma and manny) But showing any of that makes him feel like he's not living up to Xavier's expectations. A soft touch, very well-meaning, but because Xavier's basically his father, he's ready to disagree with him or go against orders if he thinks he has a better idea. Kurt wants to prove himself, but also has a rebellious streak. As a teen when he wanted to be difficult, he'd bring up examples where he thought Erik was right.

He's a huge flirt and I think it would be fun if he was exes with a teammate (or two).

Devout Catholic who loyally goes to mass every Sunday, unless the world is ending or someone's trying to commit terrorism, in which case he's pretty sure Jesus will let him off the hook

Kurt's very front and center in the media as the leader of the X-Men because he wants to set a good example for mutants with visible differences. His experience as a teen with the Morlocks left a lasting impression on him. He's known to be charming and witty, even briefly dated a A-list human celebrity. His popularity is very... mixed.

TIMELINE

EARLY LIFE: Kurt as an infant was saved after what seemed like an attempted infanticide when someone* threw him into a river. From birth he was blue with a tail, and his time in German foster care was traumatic. He eventually settled into a home around 12 years old with a foster sister and brother. The brother and local kids were terrible to him, while the mother and sister were kind. One time while messing around as kids, his sister fell off a bridge and Kurt's teleportation manifested to save her. This caused more bullying from local kids trying to force him to teleport again, which he was not very good at.

*Mystique

Early 2012: Kurt is 14, he's found and taken in by Xavier, and also met Erik Lehnsherr who had a soft spot for him. Kurt was the first mutant Xavier took in for the school. He moves to America under Xavier's care, and gets to know both Charles and Erik for a bit before Erik leaves for good.

2014: Kurt had internalized some of the things Erik talked to him about when he was younger. Pretty upset about this turn of events, unsure how to feel. Meanwhile, he's a pretty popular student and a son to Charles.

2015 - Dancin' In The Dark: Kurt is abducted by the Morlocks, while blindfolded he's too nervous to teleport away. However, even once they let him see he stays with them to try and argue that mutants like them can find acceptance. He's very idealistic, and doesn't really understand how bad they have it. Callisto's interest in him is intimidating and unwanted. Mean while, being rescued by Emma gives him a sort of crush on her. Unfortunately.

2016: Kurt is now the leader of the X-Men. At this point in time, it's very exciting and he's ready to take on anything. Kurt and Emma are officially dating.

2018 - Wildways: Kurt's deeply annoyed that they've been reality tv fodder for who knows how long, but furious that Evelyn's been taken. Turns out he's also super popular in Mojoworld, and absolutely performs for the audience to get the team an advantage. He serves as a distraction for the team.

2019 - Days of Future Past: In the aftermath, Kurt is willing to go public because...... there is no alternative for him. He doesn't want to force other teammates to do so, but thinks it's necessary for general acceptance. He's not pushy about it but teammates might sense that he's silently judgmental if they don't want to stand with mutants like him.

2020 - God Loves Man Kills: Immediately runs to Erik for help. Might have been his idea. Kind of happy to reunite with him, but not happy with what Erik has become. Maybe they had some touching moments said entirely in German. Thrilled to have Charles back, ?sad? to see Erik leave again.

2021: Kurt becomes the face of the X-Men. He's a natural performer, and his charm makes him an easier pill to swallow than he would be otherwise. It's a very stressful time underneath the surface, as along with fans come a lot of people who really loathe him. Kurt does not shy away from the spotlight, and shows up for interviews and shows when his schedule allows. He dates an A-list actress for a few months and appears on the red carpet as her date.

Late 2021 to early 2022": I wrote a whole thing and then the site glitched but Kurt went missing for 6ish months when he was stuck in hell.

2022: Wow, this is awful. Kurt's extremely resentful but because he's a public figure, he registers. He also says in interviews that he thinks this is cruel and invasive, which makes him even less popular. He wants to say more extreme things, and in one interview crosses a line and quotes Erik which leads to an argument with Xavier.

2023 - X-Tinction Agenda: Horrible. Kurt leads the team to rescue the other mutants, and his happy demeanor is really being tested at this point. He wants to stay behind and help the survivors and understand Erik more, but needs to return to the US to handle the press and lead the team. He remains in contact with Eric via email/phone, and they kind of patch up their relationship. Could really use a vacation.

2024: He is not going to get a vacation. Kurt pulls himself together, puts on a smile, and tries not to think about death. :))) Talking to Erik more frequently over the phone, because he worries that confiding in a teammate will be putting his anxieties on their shoulders.

2025: wtf is on his tail

Edited Date: 2025-01-04 05:34 am (UTC)

Kurt is taking it hard, but he's not letting anyone know that if he can help it. Charles is his only parental figure, and even though they argued sometimes, their relationship was very important to him. Forcing himself to pick up the pieces with a smile is difficult, but he's doing it. He's trying to be a warm and consistent pillar for the team by shoving all of his problems to the back. He has all of these younger siblings to take care of, and he's dedicated. He prays for Charles every Sunday.

His mark is on the spade of his tail.

Character F for Cyclops please 😔

considering fudging jean's college timeline around so that they hadn't seen each other in awhile when this happened

GASP

Added! ♥

psychologically ruinous to scott that he's been rehearsing for months what he'll say to jean when he sees her again and this happens

she is not that scary mutant powers-wise in this universe but she was FULLY trying to murder him and then also went "🥺 noooo don't hurt me" any time he tried to fight back whatsoever

Oh My God.
I love this sorry Scott.
