Tuesday, 18 April 2017 15:14Jean didn't exactly know how someone went from saving the world to going back to business as usual but apparently that was part of their life now. Most of their time was taken up with rebuilding the school, naturally, but after the living quarters were back in mostly-running order she had a lot more free time to just take a break and the Professor had run her off more than once.
So she had a work ethic. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing, was it? She hadn't wanted to go to the mall or play cards or anything like that so she'd ended up outside by the lake, half reading a book and mostly just keeping an ear out for anyone else; as much as she ended up isolated from everyone else, she did like people and she liked feeling like she was a part of the conversation.
Since her attention was a little divided, she didn't exactly notice the moment he showed up until a shadow slid across the book. Oh.
"Did you get told to take a break too?"

Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:47 ☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: 5'10", long red hair, blue eyes. ♚ FASHION: 1983 - lots of shoulderpads and acid-washed jeans. ♚ DEMEANOUR: Aloof, occasionally uncertain. Jean is definitely an introvert and it shows. She is a little defensive, which can come off as haughty or rude, but ultimately she wants to be around other people. ♚ AURAL: General American accent, low voice. ♚ OLFACTORY: Apple scented shampoo, a whole lot of Obsession perfume ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Jean is a very accomplished telepath so other telepaths are not likely to get much from her. Charles Xavier can get into her mind, as seen in canon, but he's the strongest telepath in the X-Men universe. Obviously, if Jean is upset or off her game, other powerful telepaths might be able to pick things up from her. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Jean is both a telepath and a telekinetic, so anyone with a sense for that sort of thing should be able to pick it up from her. ☄ Permissions ♚ TELEPATHY: Jean is an accomplished telepath and can project into minds or read things from people's minds. Let me know below if there's something in particular you want her to miss or pick up or ping me on plurk ( ♚ TELEKINESIS: Jean is a telekinetic and can move things up to and including cars and buildings. She doesn't do property damage and has good control but if you want to plot with me, let me know. ♚ CODE: Please fill out the form below and reply to this post if you want to plot with her telepathy/telekinesis.

Tuesday, 7 February 2017 13:52JEAN GREY X-MEN  AGE: 18 DOB: 6/23/1965 HOMETOWN: Westchester, NY BUNGALOW: #58 The Chilton with Logan Howlett PB: Sophie Turner HAIR: Red EYES: Blue HEIGHT: 5'10" COMPLEXION: pale She doesn't trust herself. One of the most powerful telepaths and telekinetics on the planet, Jean has trouble controlling the scope of her powers and struggles with being able to filter out the noise of everyday conversation and chatter while trying to hone her gift to do good. She knows the other students have felt her nightmares, terrors that come to her in the middle of the night that are so strong they shake the entire Xavier Mansion, and she knows they're afraid. Their fear feeds her own, magnifies it, and makes her feel like she's on an island all alone. Jean likes to think of herself as mature and level-headed and in some ways, she is. She's able to think quickly and improvise on the fly, able to evade Colonel Stryker and his entire SWAT team in order to stow away on his plane and make it back to the Weapons X facility to help free Mystique, Quicksilver and Beast in spite of only being 17-18 years old at the time of Apocalypse. She doesn't rattle easily when faced with a psychotic Wolverine and, instead is able to utilize his pain and rage to create a diversion for the rest of her team to get in and out. Jean is empathetic. While she doesn't always demonstrate it, carrying the burden of feeling others' emotions weighs heavily on her and she almost always knows how others around her feel. She feels their joys and their sadness, their rage and their pain and it colors the way she views the world. It is both a skill and a weakness; it can be crippling and terrifying, especially with her lack of control, but it can also be a great gift. Jean feels sympathy for Wolverine when others would label him as less than human; she goes out of her way to give him enough of his good memories back when he's freed from Weapon X so that he can go and start his life anew. Still, in spite of all that, she can be a teenage girl. She's sullen when she first meets Scott Summers and reminds him, snippily, that he's "not the only one they're afraid of." She carries her insecurities just beneath the surface and pushes people away as much as they push her away; when she's afraid, Jean can be cold and impersonal and come off more than a little haughty. Jean finds it easier, in some ways, to interact with her elders than her peers. She seems to have a warm, trusting relationship with Charles Xavier and appears to carry a great respect for Hank McCoy, one of her teachers. |
