Canon Info
Here on Power Surge, we are role-playing a future AU about fifteen years after the cartoon show X-Men: Evolution with a bit of the comic Earth-616 universe details thrown in for good measure. As such, we prefer original characters to canons. However, canons are still allowed on the site to promote flexibility in the character roster and the role-play itself. The term "canon" refers to any character established and owned by the Marvel corporation and its comics. Although there are a plethora of wonderful characters in the Marvel universe, here at Power Surge we only allow major canon characters from the X-Men: Evolution show. As such, characters from the show will have a bit more of a defined history regarding our site, especially those who were affected by the show's finale as well as the plot we have set up here.
For example, most X-Men have left the institute for various reasons, but they can remain as members of the team if they ever choose to return. Members of the Brotherhood, after being teenage delinquents, had joined the Freedom Force. While we do acknowledge other Marvel factions (Fantastic Four, Avengers, etc.), they are not playable on this site. So, if you decide to play a former Brotherhood member who still has ties to the Freedom Force, you may mention it, but be aware that the Freedom Force and S.H.I.E.L.D. will not have a place in this site's plots.
The following is a list of acceptable canons in our Power Surge universe with the alliances they had at the end of the show in parenthesis. Characters' alliances are not set in stone and can be changed if there is reason enough for the character to do so as detailed in the bio's history (such as those in the New Mutant section becoming X-Men). We ask that you follow the show's and site's plot when creating the character and do your best not to step on anyone else's history -- for example, do not create Rogue and have her married to Cyclops before there is a Cyclops on the site or without discussing it with Cyclops' player. Histories that involve other characters need to be talked over and accepted by all parties involved, including the admin, to be sure there are no discrepancies.
Characters listed in the "Other" alliance are subject to soft rewrites if the player wishes. Want to rewrite Spyke's history so he never joined the Morlocks and stayed with the X-Men? Perhaps you wish to have Boom Boom return to the New Mutants after being kicked out of the Brotherhood? Would you like to rewrite Colossus as a current New Recruit? Feel free to do so as long as it does not infringe on anyone else's history. The staff will help you if you need it.
If you feel that we have forgotten a canon, or there is a minor comics canon that you wish to play, feel free to ask Nightcrawler or Gigabyte! Adding a canon to the game that is not on our list will be on a case-by-case basis, and we reserve the right to deny any characters that we feel will not fit in with our universe.
A name with a strike through indicates that the character is taken. Italics indicate that the character is reserved. To reserve a character, simply post who you would like to reserve on this thread. You have up to one week to post a complete bio of the character -- otherwise, the character goes back up on the list, enabling others to post a completed bio before you. We urge you to take a look at the Group Statistics & Positions thread before claiming a canon. If you take a canon character, please note that the Face Claim can be images from the comics as opposed to a real-life face claim, if you wish.
