When you look there is nothing, with the equipment there is sound. / You are a translator, says the fisherman’s son. / Yes, says the sailor. / And the sound is the voice of the enemy. / Yes, yes it is.

this FAKE LIFE

erik lehnsherr will tell you he was born in israel. more specifically sderot to be exact. having lost his parents, jakob and edie eisenhardt at a young age, he moves in with the lehnsherrs: his uncle ben, aunt inbal and cousin ruthie. he joins the tzahal like most israelis at age eighteen. he’s not charles-smart but he is smart and he passes gibbush with flying colors, to be accepted in an elite medevac unit. unfortunately a severe shrapnel injury to his right hand saw him discharged at 28. it’s at that point he meets charles xavier at a volunteer outpost in haifa, working for an international tracing service. they spend two years tracking leads and piecing families back together until charles heads home. he’s intent on furthering his academic project regarding mutation, and erik still has a lot to accomplish before he feels ready to venture to america, halfway across the globe, after him.

this CONSTRUCTED PERSONALITY

erik is a gregarious, pushy, full-of-life jock with surprising hidden depths. he can buckle down in the trenches with the best of them. always prepared with a wry observation on the hellholes around, and eager to engage in rousing debate when his fancy’s tickled. he alternates between gruffness, moodiness, sarcasm and delight at a pindrop’s notice, but his wit and humor tend to smooth over the more jagged edges. erik is an observant masorti jew, and quite proudly so. 

these SPOKEN LANGUAGES

hebrew is his native language, but he is fluent in yiddish (thanks to his extended family), and conversational in palestinian arabic. due to being raised alongside fluent english speakers, erik’s english is mostly-fluent but he is prone to code-switching and makes the odd mistake here or there.

the WANTED CONNECTIONS

natalia alianovna romanova, known more commonly as natasha or the black widow, was born circa 1928 in stalingrad, ussr (presently volgograd, russia) to unknown parents. she was raised in her formative childhood years an assassin in the red room. she was experimented on when the ussr attempted to emulate on their own assets what the americans had done for super soldiers like captain america. therefore, though she is nearing a century in age, her physical age is that of a relatively young woman. originally a spy sent time and time again undercover to different rival nations of russia/the ussr, beginning from the time of the cold war, natasha eventually defected to the united states and began to operate both as a covert and field agent for shield and as an avenger, and even sometimes as an independent assassin. after the events of the snap, natasha spent some time with the remaining avengers trying to track down those who had potentially survived. eventually, though, she went off on her own eventually to investigate, to look for certain people, follow some leads of her own, re-pursue loose ends, etc.. now, with so many people reappearing...the black widow is back.

my version of tony stark is mostly based off the comics with minor mcu influences.

his marriage to pepper potts never happened , their relationship crumbled before it could ever get to that point. he couldn’t give up iron man for anything , it plays a huge role in who he is.

unlike how it’s implied in the films, anthony stark was brought to howard and maria stark as an infant. and it was maria who convinced howard to allow him to stay. the only request that his birth mother had was to keep his name as anthony edward.

tony, himself, didn’t learn he was adopted until later on in his life. he also discovered that howard and maria had a biological son named amo stark, who assisted him before the truth came out about not being a true heir to the stark empire.

though he was the one who inherited his adoptive father’s life work – there was an incredible weight on the broken bond between them. as a child howard abused him , constantly degrading his efforts to connect with the man he looked up to. and to this day – tony could say that, that never changed. he may have never been enough , his morals may have never been on par with howard’s , but his intelligence isn’t something to disregard.

also his thoughts on steve rogers may have been mixed by the obsession his father had , always praising STEVE ROGERS and elevating his standards for tony based off that. however , this changed when they met. and no matter what , the captain will always be one of his greater allies.

the clone that would come to be known as  kaine  was the jackal's first attempt at cloning peter parker. initially thought to be a success, kaine eventually became deformed due to a flaw in the cloning process. 

the jackal allowed kaine to live as a test subject, to see how long the clone would survive; it ended up far exceeding his expectations. As a result, Kaine experienced a strong feeling of rejection like that which might arise between a father and son.

his strength, speed, stamina, and agility were comparable to those of peter, but he also gained precognitive powers as well, which shows him flashes of the future (this new ability has been assumed to be an amplified version of peter's spider-sense). due to being a clone of peter, neither of them can register the other via their spider sense. he also possessed a "mark of kaine," a corrosive touch that he used to leave eaten-away hand-prints on his victims' faces. 

kaine spent alot of time attempting to finding himself ; hating his creator, hating peter, wanting the attention of the two forces in his life he hates. he was the villain, and then something much worse, now he’s just trying to be better

after seeing peter on the news while living in new mexico, kaine decided to return to new york in order to protect what peter had left behind. to take on some responsibility for once in his life.

kaine survived the snap but he continues to degenerate,  he is slowly growing more deformed and mentally unstable

PAST:

scott was born in anchorage, alaska, to major christopher summers and katherine summers. he grew up a military brat due to his father’s job as a test pilot in the u.s. air force.

when scott was thirteen, his family’s plane caught fire and his mother pushed him and his brother alex out the door in an effort to save their lives.

his mutation manifested when their parachute failed to open, but the fall would result in scott sustaining a head injury that would later affect his ability to control his optic blast.

the plane exploded in the air before crashing, which lead to the assumption that both of his parents had died. along with his head injury scott suffered from traumatic amnesia because of the accident.

after waking from a nightmare one night, he destroyed the roof of the hospital where he was being treated, then spent the next year in a coma.

upon his recovery scott was placed in a state home in omaha, nebraska, where he was subjected to experiments and tests.

scott developed severe migraines that continued to worse his mental state as well as his ability to control his mutation.

an incident occurred where scott’s optic blast irrupted, resulting in the destruction of a crane and the near death of a onlooking crowd.

afterwards scott was sought out by professor x, leading to him attending xavier’s school for gifted youngsters, then later becoming one of the x-men.

AFTER THE SNAP:

thanos got his hands on all the infinity stones, snapped his fingers, and just like that half the population of the universe disappeared. scott was one of the unlucky ones, vanishing to nothing but dust.

scott returned from the soul realm the same as everyone else who has found their way back, but he doesn’t remember any of it.

it’s hard to say exactly what he does remember, but it’s not much of his life in recent years. he doesn’t know who the x-men are or even about the crash that seemingly killed his parents.

currently he’s back at xavier’s trying to get some kind of help, but he’s even more fragile than before at least in the metaphorical sense since the one thing he did manage to come back with was the ability to absorb energy.

CONNECTIONS:

his family!!! this one is pretty self explanatory, but scott has false memories and i just need all the angst involved with that.

friends/colleagues/whatever. this one is probably mostly fitting for other x-men, but it’s totally open ended! i just want some people who were close to scott before the whole thanos bullshit, whether it was like hero related or not.

It looks like SKAAR BANNER has been transported to New York City. HE is a FOUR-year-old CANON and the aesthetic associated with HIM is FIRE, SWORDS, TRIBAL TATTOOS.

IMPORTANT FORGET-ME-NOTS

His skin is grey.

He is aged to near-adulthood (looks roughly 17-21), but he is actually four-years-old. He’s from Sakaar, born in a lake of fire and he came out of his cocoon he was young child age and over just a year, his body grew to what it appears as today. He knows English and is catching up on his academics with the help of his father.

Unless otherwise plotted with our Bruce Banner, your character more than likely doesn’t know about Skaar or his relation to the scientist. He’s been sheltered these past few years on Earth.

With that said, they could know Skaar himself, since he likes to run off from time to time and explore the world.

He does have a Hulk form. But, it’s been stressed by his father to not reveal it unless he’s in a deadly situation.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

First friend.

Enemy. (Preferably a villain!)

Foodie friend.

Exploring friend.

WHAT THEY’RE UP TO

Skaar was brought to Earth to help rid the world of it’s sin. He’s been kept in a facility outside New York by his father and is taught to fight and all of the academics so he can blend in as well as any grey-skinned kid can. 

It looks like HOWARD STARK has been transported to NEW YORK CITY. HE is a FIFTY-TWO-year-old CANON and the aesthetic associated with HIM are SHIELD, SCOTCH, MONEY, MECHANICS.

IMPORTANT FORGET-ME-NOTS

Howard is fifty-two-years-old. That means in his mind, Maria is with her parents in Italy while pregnant with their son. 

He isn’t a heavy drinker yet. 

He is a trained SHIELD agent, as one of the founders, he’s level 10 alpha and up there with Fury both clearance and ability-wise. He just doesn’t show it.

He has no idea that SHIELD fell or any recent history. He only has knowledge up to 1969, so he’ll have no idea what you’re talking about if you mention HYDRA infiltrating his group or that someone else was leading it, etc. 

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

Former agent of SHIELD to catch him up.

Roommate. (Since he’s been declared dead??) 

Science-pal.

WHAT THEY’RE UP TO

Howard is currently trying to figure out what happened to the world and why he suddenly has found himself in a completely different era than the morning before he woke up for the first time. He’s currently hiding out and has managed to make use of a hidden lab in the city to try and invent something to help him out. 

It looks like LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR has been transported to New York City. HE is a UNKNOWN-year-old CANON and the aesthetic associated with HIM is FIRE, HORNS, WINGS, RITUALS, PUNISHMENT.

IMPORTANT FORGET-ME-NOTS

He’s the actual son of God and former ruler of the Devil.

He’s basically in his teenage years because that’s the only way I can explain the rebellion and wanting to live on Earth.

He’s very touchy about the God/dad subject and will throw a tantrum over it.

Actually, he’ll throw a tantrum over like... everything.

He has a persuasion knack. But, only for you to tell him your deepest, darkest desire. He only uses it when he’s trying to get information.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

Fling. (Men or women)

‘Friend’. (He isn’t good at being friends)

Difficult mind. (Someone he can’t persuade, thus intriguing to him)

WHAT THEY’RE UP TO

While most suffered after the snap, Lucifer thrived as he always has in despair. Lux is still very much a thing and most people use it as an escape from their reality. And, since he cares little about money, he doesn’t even charge anymore. He just likes to listen to his father’s creations snivel about their losses. 

It looks like BOBBY DRAKE has been transported to New York City. HE is a SEVENTEEN-year-old CANON and the aesthetic associated with HIM is SNOW, ICE, BLUE, PRIDE.

IMPORTANT FORGET-ME-NOTS

Bobby disappeared with the snap. He was a bit older then and apart of the X-Men. He didn’t come back as such, though. He’s just a seventeen-year-old kid and learning to control his abilities.

He isn’t sure what happened while he was gone. He just knows he woke up and he’s struggling more than ever with his powers. 

He also gained a touch of Telepathy from his resurrection and he’s struggling with it a LOT. 

He’s homosexual, but he is NOT out. Maybe older Bobby was, and if your character knew older Bobby, then they can mention that but he is going to deny the hell out of it. 

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

Training partner.

Mutant pals. (All the mutant pals)

Love interest. (Of any type, it can be requinted or not, etc)

Beard. (I mean he’s gonna try to be serious with a girl but lbr, boy’s gay)

Telepathy help.

WHAT THEY’RE UP TO

  t’challa , like tony , is mainly comic based with mcu influences. the one thing that stays true from the mcu , is t’challa bringing bucky barnes to wakanda where he could live uninterrupted by the outside world.

when t’challa was born, his mother passed due to complications with the birth.

while t’challa could have fought for the crown at a much younger age , he decided that he wasn’t prepared yet. and to prepare himself , he wanted to learn and experience more. in order to do this , he attended prestigious schools in the states and in europe – achieving his phd in physics and psychology.

while he was there, he invented his own form of physcs ; shadow physics with alchemy. something that poses a threat to the protection of vibranium.

t’challa and ororo munroe both met at a young age , and the elders, and t’challa’s parents had an arrangement for them to be married.

prior to the war, t’challa and ororo put an axe on that engagement due to both parties not wanting it to happen.

the memories of their death still haunt the young king , or the former king. and amplifying the underlying unease, his death brought about the curse of premonition. his senses and insight were already heightened by the heart herb , but now when he comes into physical contact – visions interrupt his thoughts , glimpsing into shards of what might happen. whether it’s an accident / a potential victim – etc. he will bear with having it on his conscious.

sharon carter is the niece of the stellar peggy carter. 

with that being said , sharon is COMPLETELY pulled from the comics. because the movies did her no justice at all. 

idolizing her aunt , everything that she did was because peggy was that beacon of light for her. but it was so much that she had a bit of a crisis with herself.

she lost sight of herself as a person. 

her relationship with steve fell apart around the time that she discovered her aunt was the love of his life. ( this part can be altered if the steve player would rather not keep this tidbit ).
