“ Moments like this, I start to agree. The world hates us so much, the hell with it. Who needs the X-Men, anyway?“

Once upon a time

Twin sister of Brian Braddock, Elizabeth called "Betsy" got a middle-class education with her two brothers in the English family manor. She started an early career in modeling, allowing her to travel despite her young age. The first tragedy appeared during one of her trips to New York City, aka the death of her parents during one of their experiments, the news awoke Betsy's powers.

She continued to travel as a model and eventually started a formation to become a chapter pilot. Far from home, a new incident happened to her family, his older brother Jaimie was injured during a suspicious car racing incident at the manor. On a fly with Brian to check on their brother, their plane crashed due to an attack coming from Dr. Synne, a former scientific colleague of their parents. Thanks to Brian who had already become Captain Britain, they survived the crash and defeated Dr Synne despite his ability to mind-control Betsy.

Following this episode, Betsy met a SKRIKE agent and quickly started to work with them, quitting her charter carrier but keeping her modeling one as a cover. After many missions, Betsy was once again mentally controlled and tortured by Mojo and Spiral. She got rescued by the Xmen, and found a shelter in Xavier's School. She decided to stay with them, dropping her job with the STRIKE to better recover from what she had to experience.

Finding some peace with the Xmen and the teacher role, the Skrull invasion turned her life upside down. Starting with the death of her twin Brian, Betsy didn't have the chance to mourn or avenge him, quickly kidnapped and replaced by a Skrull. Designed to be a test subject, Betsy woke up in another body than the one she always knew. Her memory crushing with what her Skrull version was doing but also with the mind of an Asian-ninja-assassin-woman she never met before, Betsy finally woke up confused and changed.

“ You were right, big brother -- about everything but one! I'm already corrupted -- too evil to live --.“

Once upon a time

Vincent is the youngest brother to Donna and Stepen Strange. His young years were sadly tainted by a preventable death : his sister drowned. This threw the family dynamic off the rails to that fate doomed night of 1982. In a desperate attempt to save his brother more pain than he already was in, he begged him to come back to bid their father Eugene farewell. That conversaiton however, turned into a screaming match, Vincent outraged by the apparent lack of grief coming from his brother. In a fit of rage, he left the situation and was hit by a car. He died on the scene.

What happened afterwards was not of Vincent's own will. Guilt filled, Strange put his body into a cryosleep until the day he could truly help him. Indeed, he had only started his journey into the magic world. And for 15 years, Vincent was tucked away in the sanctum's cellar, hidden, but not forgotten. But one can keep a secret for so long before the truth comes out , one way or another. The sanctum was attacked more than once in those 15 years, it was just a matter of time before something around the tomb would impact it.

Zemo's youth was split between your traditional noble education and high society travels and social gathering and your ties to a criminal underworld of Madripoor. The young man had a taste for antique collection cars and architecture.

However, in adulthood, Zemo would join the Sokovian Armed Forces and become the commander of EKO Scorpion, a Sokovian paramilitary tactical unit. His job did not keep him from building a family. His wife and his son, Carl, lived within Novi Grad and they made it work. Carl, would develop a fascination with the Avengers and express to his father that he wanted to see them, specifically Iron Man, in action.

That wish came true in the most horific way. When Ultron attacked, Zemo defended Sokovia and sent his family away with his father. Despite this, they were all killed. Zemo found them 2 days later.

Once upon a time

Lorna’s biological mother had an affair with Erik Lehnsherr, a secret she managed to keep from her husband until Lorna was almost three years old. The family was on a small private plane when her (step)dad found out, and her parents’ arguing caused the toddler a great deal of stress - enough that, while yelling for them to stop fighting, her mutant abilities were triggered (which also turned her hair it’s iconic green color). Lorna caused the plane to crash, leaving her as the sole survivor amongst the wreckage. 

Lorna was found and had her memory altered, both to forget the events of the night and to inhibit her abilities until she was older. She was legally adopted by her (step)dad’s sister and her husband, and was given their last name.  When her mutant abilities triggered (for the second time) Lorna was found and taken in by the X-Men, and attended Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

Lorna had been working at the school, and had planned to continue, before the SHPA Act was passed. She refused to sign the act, and instead intended to simply fly under the radar in hopes it’d eventually be repealed. At the suggestion of an old friend Lorna went to meet to Magneto. After some time of working with him to learn more of her abilities, she was eventually tempted into joining the Brotherhood. In some aspects she’s still reluctant, but the longer she’s with them the more she agrees.

Once upon a time

Jean-Paul was born in 1989. His parents died when he was an infant, and he was separated from his twin sister Jeanne-Marie. Bad luck struck a second time when his adoptive family also died in an accident when he was 6 years old. He ended in a foste ome and had a lonely childhood and chaotic youth. Vulnerable and confused, he fell for Belmonde who basically groomed him , helping him with his powers and his confusion about his sexuality. They ended up in France where Paul joined a circus as an acrobat.

It took him a long time to get away from Belmonde, and think for himself. He fled back to Quebec and walked a path that he thought was the right one. He joined a radical separatist mouvement called "Front de Libération du Québec" . Believing in a cause for freedom , was something he stand behind. However, he left that group after the bombing attemps, he managed to stop one. This was a turning point for Jean-Paul. Yet again, he had been lured into false ideas of freedom and love.

He took upon himself to beter himself, and decided to really focus on himself and have a normal life. He joined the Olypmic Games on the ski team and became quite a known olmypist. He was contacted by Departement H to join Alpha Flight, the Canadian main team of superheroes. This time, he saw the selfish agenda of DH. One of his missions was to reclaim Wolverine. This time, he made the right choice.

However, Departement H allowed him to reconnect with his twin. It went sour all too quickly. She had the same output on life he had years ago. During a mission he was gravely wounded d, Northstar ended up in intensitive care. DNA determined that he was linked to the Front de Libération du Québec, however since he had killed no one he was pardoned. After that he left Alpha Flight for good. The reason for having been wounded was a baby in a dumpster who was HIV positive and displayed symptoms. He later adopted the child and named her Joanne. Sadly she passed away , becoming the reason Northstar would come out , accept himself and return to civilian life to make amends.

Closely after 2012 events, he was recruited by Jean for a mission , he first rejected it, but then agreed when Jean explained that it was Aurora, his twin sister who had been abducted by the Brotherhood.  He found her half insane, he nursed her back to health with the aid of the X-men. She eventually managed to hold her schizophrenia and DID kind of at bay. During the Skrull war, Northstar’s Husband was killed. He and his sister fought in San Fransisco with other X-men. He then lead a lot of reconnaissance missions along the west coast with Bobbi during the war effort.

Once upon a time

Yelena was believed to have been born in Kiev , Ukraine. Little is known of her childhood, for she had none. At a 3 years old, she was given to the Red Room. She went through intensive training to be forged into a superpsy and an exemplar Black Widow. She showed talent and skills, reminding of the original Black Widow, she was eventually sent after to stop in a mission. Yelena failed that mission, but learned a most valuable lesson from it. In a cruel scheme to show Belova that being a spy meant being used and it bore mo glory or heroism, Belova abandonned her masters and walked her own path. It did make her ressent Natasha for it though.

Away from the Red Room, some memories came to her, of a young self in a family with a bigger sister. This just pushed her into surpassing Natasha in every aspect. When Hydra had infiltred most of SHIELD, she worked as an agent for a curropt faction mining and selling Vibranium. With the existence of gods and monsters after New York and other enhanced individuals, her interests shifted, slightly. And with Hydra being exposed, she ended working for the now dismantled AIM for a long time.

Yelena in truth ran and hid for a very long time from the Red Room which was actively looking for her. She found shelter in Madripoor where she worked for and with a lot of prominent figures, even through the Skrull war. She saw one by one the russian assets fall to enemy hands : Natasha, Bucky, Jessica and just felt a false sense of joy.

"I'm not asking for forgiveness. I just want to help you."

Once upon a time

Grant Douglas Ward grew up in an abusive household in Massachusetts. He had three siblings - two brothers and a sister. While all four children suffered at the hands of their parents, Grant was also beaten by his older brother and forced into helping abuse their younger brother.  Christian (older brother) threw Thomas (younger brother) into a well and wouldn’t let Grant pull him out. He ended up saving Thomas anyways. This is something of a ‘defining moment’ for Grant, as it was the first time he’d felt true hatred for his older brother as well as their parents. 

As a teen Grant was sent to a military academy, where he excelled and drew the eye of Garrett. He ended up running away - stealing a car and driving over 1000 miles back to his parents home, which he set fire to. His older brother was inside, and nearly died.  Grant was arrested, set to be tried as an adult at his brother’s urging, but was instead recruited by John Garrett, and broken out of the detention facility. Over the next few years (the first six months of which he was left to survive alone in the woods) Garrett trained Ward. When Ward did join SHIELD he already knew of HYDRA and was meant to play the part of an undercover asset for Garrett. He excelled in most his training. He received top marks in combat, the highest espionage rating since Natasha Romanoff, but low marks in his interpersonal skills. He had level 7 clearance, was put forward to join Coulson’s team.

Ward, despite everything Garrett had attempted to teach him, grew attached to the team. He was never fully loyal to HYDRA - he trusted Garrett, and he was told HYDRA could help his sister who was sick, but even still it wasn’t enough to completely ease his mind.  After helping Garrett escape before he could be taken to the Fridge, Ward told his S.O. he was done, and wanted out. He let it slip that he had a child, and Garrett quickly made use of that information. Ward stayed on, as HYDRA now not only had his sister’s life in their hands, but also had his daughter.

After everything went down Ward was captured and held prisoner in the Playground. During his transfer into his brother’s custody he escaped and vanished. He killed his brother and helped reunite Skye with her father. Skye shot him. Kara, Agent 33, still masquerading as May helped him get out, and the two disappeared for a time. Continued taking odd jobs for HYDRA - the ones people wouldn’t or couldn’t take. While still on their payroll Ward was feeding information to journalists and to SHIELD, and giving false information to HYDRA.

One of the missions he was sent on was to collect and relocate the scepter/Mind Stone. The mission went south quickly, and in his haste Ward grabbed it with his bare hand. Touching the stone woke dormant abilities from an ancestor, resulting in a massive fire. Ward made it out seemingly unharmed, and did relocate it as he was told to do. It took time to try and figure out what the hell had happened to him. As far as he currently knows, the fire he manipulates is real fire, with an added bonus of some slight necrotic damage, and transfers only to things he’s holding (such as a chain, bat, maybe a person if he’s got ahold of them). If he learns more this will change, as he’ll learn he’s capable of creating/manipulating both regular fire and hellfire, and does not need to be in contact with what he’s setting ablaze.

Once upon a time

Elliot’s childhood was hardly the most simple, divided between his mother in Florida and is father in Louisiana, but it shaped him into a decent man. His idea of trouble revolved around playful pranks and occasional hacking into the local government officials’ networks to send out Christmas emails in June. From a young age he was a likable person, managing to find a friend in even the strangest places. Between his hacking and communication skills, with the added bonus of natural combat talent, it was no surprise when he went from the Young Marines program straight into the corps after graduation. Two years later his sister enlisted, following in her big brother’s footsteps.

His next five years were a blur of blood and gunfire, subterfuge and lies. His name was stricken from every record that said he existed, a move done to protect the people that knew him but also to try and shape him into a better soldier.While leading this team he met Emrys, and the two grew close over their time together.  It worked relatively well until his sister was brought in on the project. Her death a year later, and the deaths of his entire team, due to the poor planing of their superiors, pushed him to a breaking point. He lashed out, leading to him being taken out of the field. Three months is all it took to see that his potential was wasted sitting at a desk, leading to him being offered to SHIELD as a liaison. He was in Washington during the attack, on personal time, and did what he could to help.

Coming back to Shield made him reconnect with Emrys, the man that had haunted his thoughts for a really long time. He fell sooner than later back in the shoes of wanting him close and made sure to be there to heal whatever wounds were still bugging his beautiful Em. Sadly, when on a mission, they both came in contact with terrigen and were separated because of isolation. Despite Skye allowing them to have some moments together, Lee vowed not to talk again because of his sonic power. When freed, he left SHIELD behind with the firm promise not to come back. this however caused a friction between him and Emrys .

Emrys grew up in a small farm town in the US. Nothing out of the ordinary, his parents were both adorable people, and he learned a lot about respecting life and surviving. Good in science , he chose a more order following path after graduation.

Emrys joined the military and trained to be a sniper and do reconnaissance. He joined Lee’s squad. That’s how they met and became quite close. The day they lost their squad, Emrys really wanted to postpone the mission, a gut feeling. That day he really thought Lee had died.

After this incident, he decided to retire and was hired by Shield. He was present as an escort when the bomb went off in Washington. He died that day, for the world he did. Shield however had other plans. They brought him back through the T.A.H.I.T.I protocol and he really wish they didn’t. No memory of what had happened, but living in a state of severe psychosis, he was considered a failure.

Yet Emrys proved them wrong. Lee found him, it gave him hope. Enough to get better and become an active agent again. On a mission to stop the Blue Crystals at a powerplant. He and Lee were exposed to the Terrigen Mist.  The both were placed in isolation cells. Emrys became painfully aware that his new found powers of air manipulation might just kill him. After several surgeries he was finally released.

Sif is a childhood friend of Thor, Loki, and The Warriors Three. She’s also Heimdall’s younger sister. She as an incredibly vain child, and mostly grew out of that - though she does still have her moments.  An exceptional fighter, generally considered to be second only to Brunnhilde the Valkyrie amongst Asgardian women.

Sif was there for the attack on Asgard. While working with others to stop the assault, Sif fell to the control of Supergiant. She was unable to come back into control of herself before ending Fandral’s life, at which point she was able to tap into a part of her mind that allowed her to break free. Fucked some people up. Attended the Lokasenna, said her piece, before disappearing. She was gone for three months, while ten years passed for her. She had found herself a mentor, someone that could train her in the abilities she hadn’t known she had until that fight.

She returned to Midgard a number of times after her training, often helping Thor when he called for her aid.  She went with Thor into Valhalla, in hopes to aid in keeping things maintained and handled fast enough to keep anything from going wrong - instead, Valhalla was destroyed. Sif has been gone ever since, with no contact to her fellow Asgardians or most of those she’d come to call friends on Midgard. She’s been working to find a way to restore Valhalla, as one of few people capable of hopefully reaching what remains of Yggdrasil around where the realm had been.

Once upon a time

Perfect child to Freya, her mother, Sigyn always tried to please her mother. She made no fuss when sent to the court of Asgard for her education , depsite knowing that she would be set up for an arranged marraige to one of Odin's sons. She adapted easily to the Asgardian court, and navigated society with skill and grace. During her time at court, she developed opinions that were molded by the world around her rather than her mother's words.

When she dared to speak her mind and stand up for herself, Freya sought to punish her. She secured a betrothal between Sigyn and a man named Theoric, a noble captain of the guard. In that time, Sigyn had gained the rather unwanted attention of Loki. Through her engagmenet Sigyn grew fond of Theoric, learning more of him and coming to find peace in the idea of their life together. It wasn't until after vows were exchanged that Loki revealed himself, having taken Theoric's place. Sigyn was silent amongst the outrage. To everyone's surprise, Sigyn agreed to honor her vows, she had spoken the words, as Loki had, and they were wed. In her steadfast, the decision to remain by Loki's side, Sigyn was named and became the Goddess of Fidelity.

While she had married a prince, and thus become a princess, Sigyn's decision had her family cutting her off completely, an outcome she wasn't entirely displeased with, even when she missed her sisters. Most people assumed she must have been lonely, and even perhaps unhappy, given who she found herself married to, but none knew the Loki that she did. She was happy and in love. She remained etirely faithful to her husband through all his comings and goings, helping him when she could.  The pair had two children, sweet loving boys, and while Sigyn often was left alone in raising them, she made certain they knew of their father and that he most certainly lvoed them.

Sigyn was captured and used as a pawn to keep Loki in line and was one of the few to know of his charade as the Allfather. She was tried alongside Loki and Amora and sent away with her husband after, but not before witnessing the deaht of her two young sons. The loss of her sons placed another burden on Sigyn’s shoulders, now the Goddess of Fidelity and Mourning. Sigyn remained at Loki’s side, eventually reaching out to Thor to ask for him to help free his brother from the torment he’d been enduring. She did what she could to help Loki after, and has been living at the castle with her husband (as well as her stepson).

Daughter of Roger Willis, Verity grew up next to magical artifacts entrusted to his father. Until one day, when Verity was still a baby, she ate a magical ring allowing its user to see through all lies. She digested it and absorbed its powers. Growing up in a world full of lies, Verity became extremely unsociable and took refuge in pure mathematics, programming and physics. Working from home, she got a job as the Daily Bugle’s fact-checker.

Her life got its first spices during the skrulls invasion, when she was found by SHIELD for her powers. She was put under the supervision of Natasha Romanoff and helped the resistance to find the hidden skrulls and stop them.

Shortly after the war, Verity agreed to join the SHIELD but resigned after two months, not truly feeling it, too much lies and dissimulation to handle on the daily basics.

Returning to her civil life, Verity agreed to participate to a speed dating at her mother’s request. This is how she met Loki, seeing through his lies and illusions. A few weird and Asgardian misfortunes later, Verity got the honorary title of manager of Loki’s castle, allowing her to drop her boring job at the Daily Bugle.
