Tips: 0.00 INK

I have been playing the character known as "Gambit" who started as the Gambit from the Ultimate series. I've been playing him for a few years now and there exists a group of us who play various other characters as well.
From our beginning stages the following list of characters have been played by different people: Gambit, Wolverine, Professor X, Colossus, Rogue, Night Crawler, Black Cat, Spiderman, Punisher, and DareDevil. Some others were introduced as well but were played for extremely short periods of time.
Since then, many of the above mentioned have left or gone on extended (and maybe permanent) hiatus. As of now, the only active characters remaining are Gambit (me) and Rogue (to some extent). Control of Professor X has also been shifted to me to help move along the ongoing storyline. The person who plays DareDevil is also still around and will probably play that character again if asked. The person who plays Logan is around on some rare occasions and I know if time and will permitted, he would play Logan again.
Since the storyline has been going for a long period of time and still develops (albeit much more slowly) even now, Gambit no longer fits the "Ultimate" persona. He still retains all the qualities and most of the personality traits that you would expect from Gambit, and I have sworn to keep Gambit's history intact as described in the comics, however he has aged from 19 to somewhere between 21-23 (I'd have to look it up to see exactly what my Gambit character's age is right now) and has a huge addition to his history from the years of roleplay. To describe the numerous events he has gone through would take pages of writing and huge amounts of time to describe. Long story short, he now owns Gambit's Bar in Wing City and is married to Tayrn Sunstar (now Tayrn LeBeau) with two children, one of which displays mutant powers, the other too young.
I'm glad that you are willing to do a Marvel Universe RolePlay and I will support you 100%, but I ask that you respect those players who already have Marvel Characters and leave them be. All the people who have ever played in the previous Marvel Universe RolePlay played the Marvel characters personalities and traits perfectly so as not to make a mockery of them. They also went through a quick "Yes" or "No" screening/approval process to ensure the one who played an established Marvel Universe character would respect the character and not abuse/overly modify their powers. So I can guarantee that those who already have Marvel characters play them very well.
Best thing to do is just to pop in the chat and talk to me if you want more information. If you find someone suitable to play Professor X correctly, I'll be glad to give him up. Other than that, run with the idea and I'll see who all I can get to join up with you.
