How can we describe the History Essay/Origin Story of 4-Tress? First let us discuss major events in the lives of the Cousins . . . The Death of the "Prophetess" was one such event. The two Cousins, Slightly-Powered Heroine & Confused Villain (the "Invisible Maiden" & "Mister Medusa") were her two beloved children. The two youngsters grew up indifferent of the Mutant-Hating Affairs, except for the weirdness surrounding their oldest cousin's coming out the "Mutie" Closet. At any way, it was revealed she was a Mutant herself. Her Special In-Born Talent: ESPer. She had the Visions of a God (-dess) , although she often thought her Powers came from the Devil. The Family had to deal with intense danger every now & then, when used her Pre-/Post-Cognitive Ability brought much safety and fore-protection. Her next younger sister, (Al's) Mother was also born a mutant. She possessed low-level telepathy/telekinesis, but she also possessed two other important talents, namely & More importantly, she could copy other person';s intelligence levels and Mental Skills/Prowesses. If a so-called smarter doctor/lawyer/rocket scientist stepped within 30 feet of her, they automatically met their rival. She embraced her own powers, but not her Son's (that is another story) , she taught her older sister to take what "GOD the Father" gave them for the good of the family and potentially the world. The "Prophetess" as she was nick-named embraced at her bequest --- slightly. "Socrates" loved this small progress and attempted to push her forward. She surprisingly, listened (!!) She undertook a great undertaking. She could almost a century ahead the present when she pressed her powers. She kept a diary of her visions, keeping it secret telling its new owner, Socrates, to not open it till she died. She died the day, hour & minute that she foretold, sadly to her family, especially to her two children who actually never knew she was a Mutant. They hated the label, once they realized it was closer to home, not just their crazy older cousin. Why did Mutancy run so much in their blood-line? ("Eric") was coated with self-hatred, once old enough he left his family behind seemingly for good. They never heard a word from/about him till later --- to their peril, but that is another story. ("Where is the Diary?" Al discovered its existence.) ("She lost it," his Mother replied.) (Santa Claus was the only lie he ever discovered she ever told him, so he had to believe her --- should have anyway.) Another Major Event was their Crazy Oldest Cousin. The other four youngers never really knew the whole story when they were young, but his Mom cried a lot when he was 16-yo after discovered he was a Mutant. They did realize he needed help with his powers, they were turning in on himself & they were tele-empathic in nature --- he would need mutant-familiar therapists. He started to hang out in a unique therapy group with three other boys. The youngers thought they were weird. One was an obvious tom-girl who for some reason was kicked out of his very rich family's house. (A black billionaire, no less.) One seemed angry all the time, about something or another. The last of the three hung around "Al" "ALL" the Time. He was over the house, out with him at the movies all the time, they played video games with the door locked for ever & ever, "closer than close" they were described. "April" finally asked why that boy was over all the time, when he ate her watermelon for the umpteenth time. "Socrates" stated she would tell her when she was older, whatever that meant. Ar any rate, it was amazing that a Mutant Anti-Hero of "Robin Hoods" appeared all over MO-Town, one possessing tele-empathic ability reportedly, just like their old cousin. He always told them, "Imagine That."The last most important event in the whole family's history had to be "Brandon's" kidnapping by the "White Queen herself, Emma Frost." He displayed powers very early a little past toddler and she saw super-powered potential. He was a junior member of the group for three years or so. "Al" finally made up for his crazy yrs. He landed a personal assistant job with Professor Charles Xavier in a suburb of New York. "Al' arrived home one day, seemingly angry at not receiving help from a "trusted ally" he never said who the ally was, but he told the youngers he was home for good & that with all his power he would protect them all & the whole family for now on. "April" was transformed over three years into the "Invisible Maiden" & "Brian" became "Hermes-Mercury."

"Al's" Journal Entry #23: I met "Pharaoh" when he took over as the Owner of the Mental Health Clinic where me and the GB Male Mutant Support Group was located. My The-Empathy at that time --- was a mess (!!) it was turning in on itself causing me the insanity I should have been projecting on others. At any rate, his oldest son was a student psychiatrist there with some type of Mutant-Detecting Ability, ironically. "Pharaoh" met with all four of us and stated clandestinely that he had personal reasons for wanting to help young GB Males, Mutants at that, receive all the Societal Help they could receive. First, he helped us adopt identity's, covert, that we could become "Agents of Change" for Mutant-Kind, basically pro-Mutant terrorists. Not any thing 911-ish, but we did draw attention of the X-Men & "Him." I shouldn't be like that. He could have had us arrested, but he recruited us into beta X-Men status training us according to our powers and temperaments. I ended up Jean Gray's Leadership Student. Cyclopes & Storm were made Field Commanders, Jean Grey was appointed Deputy Leader & if I succeeded in my training, a long time quite frankly, I would be Vice-Deputy Chair of the Whole X-Team Structure. it was a lot of trust. It turned to dust. (Brandon) got jscked by the Hellfire Club. I went to "Charles" (the Amazing "Professor X") . He stated I could help you, but I won't. (Thanks, Professor.) At any rate, I thought the only way we would ever get him back would be a kamikazee mission at the Hellion School, but thank God better options came along. "Pharaoh." How did he end up with the Hellfire Club? At any rate, Emma wanted him for her new "White Bishop." Apparently, there was no more Sebastian Shaw or Black Competitors so she became the New Chairwoman with the goal of choosing new allies. She chose an interesting ally: a woman named "ThunderSong." "My Mother," just joking, but she is a clone of my Mother --- a Mysterious Twin. She was not the only one with a Mysterious Twin. The Clone of Mom, had one Son --- a clone of Your truly. Why would Hellfire be interested in my family so much, interested in clones when she couldn't get the real thing. I lai it on thick, I convinced the "Pharaoh" himself of "Emperor, Inc." to change his Hellfire mind. He would help me get (Brandon) back. I know this risky, but . . . I will do anything ot rectify my mistakes with my family. I should have left ya better protected. Here goes the rescue. (Brandon, ya will come home.)

[turnagealfonsojermaine]

Now I need lots of help. If anyone is familiar with WoD, I am going to try to submit to my "PCs" a prelude concerning the rescue of their baby cousin. The story is that they will crash the party that put Emma in a coma and sneak away with Brandon before he is killed with the rest of the Hellions. Jean gets switched with Emma, I believe Sentials crashed & of course Bishop & Fitzroy . . . I couldn't have picked a crazier scene for a first game, but . . . how would you run this event?

[turnagealfonsojermaine]

Do anyone have any realible stats fro Jean Grey during this time-period? Would Emma be the same without the diamond-form?
