you know what I'm sayin'?

( the test drive meme )

This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before applying, and to see if things "click". Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info.

[Robin chuckles slightly.]

Well, I supposed I didn't say you couldn't look it up. Elian, why don't you tell the class about their leader then.

Affirmative.

[He stands up and walks toward the front of the class. He was too small to give his speech from his desk unless he stands on the seat, but he'll have better control over the monitor if is closer to it. His hand makes a motion and pokes at the air again to bring up Magneto.]

Magneto: Born by the name Max Eisenhardt, Aliases: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, Erik the Red, Grey King, White King, Michael Xavier, "the Creator," White Pilgrim, Prisoner #214782. Leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants once known as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants due to the onset of the good versus evil mentality at the time prior to our generation's existence.

His ideals once coincided with Professor Xavier's and through their shared vision they were at one time friends. The helmet that is used to shield Magneto from telepathic invasion or upper thought reading is made from the same material that shields Cerebro; a device used to track down mutants with the hopes to bring them together for the cause of education and power refinement.

Magneto's vision eventually became warped once the war began that caused the rift between the Professor and himself to grow. Magneto chose the ideal that in order for mutants to survive, they should not hide in society but rather force their way in, according to some accounts. He uses the media as a tool to send his message that the strong shall survive and that mutants are the next step in evolution.

In consideration of this ideal, while true, the school was not built on the purpose of exploitation but rather for the achievement of peaceful co-existence through education and ability use to achieve a goal both personal and social. Magneto's approach to his ideals is much more aggressive, it is not the answer to achieve peace through force.

Well, that is exactly what the data files say about him. But, that still doesn't tell us what shaped him to become like that. What event caused this poor view of humans on him?

[Teal eyes glanced at his teacher and looked back toward the class with his hands at his sides.]

I was unaware we were doing a psychological profile in a history class. I am not a psychologist. If you are asking about an event that may have sparked his path, it was the Holocaust.

I was asking about the event. I do admit that to fully understand him we would need to got into a psychological profile, but knowing the event is just as important.

Yes, his view of humans came from the Holocaust, a terrible event in our world. An event that is not uncommon in our history sadly. From as far back as the Egyptians and Mesopotamia, people have always enslaved and killed others just because they are different. It is one of the most reoccurring themes in our worlds history.

Mr. Eisenhardt fell into the same trap that caused his own pain and suffering. Knowing history can help prevent us from falling into these same traps. History repeats itself if we fail to learn from it.

Elian, given what we have seen in the past, can you give us some guesses on how the future of human/mutant relations will be? Just going by how history has shown with situations of attempted Genocide.

[Elian's eyes fixed forward again much like a trained soldier would when directed to speak by a commanding officer.]

Providing that there is little to no education about mutations taught in public schools, our current course would be a war when taking into consideration the rise of factions and hate groups that have surfaced in recent years.

Much like what happened in Auschwitz and Egypt, there will be a round-up of mutants, or in the likelihood that Mr. Eisenhardt succeeds humans in retrospect, there will not be peace until an outcome is met.

[Even if the topic is a grim one, it's important and a very hard lesson.]

[Robin gave a nod with a serious look on her face.]

A grim outlook indeed, but as you mentioned, a one we may be able to prevent. That is the purpose of this school. Hopefully we will be successful, but only time will tell.

If Mr. Eisenhardt does succeed, I am not sure that will stop future Auschwitz's from happening, just with mutants doing it to other mutants.

Thank you for the good answers Elian. You get 10 bonus points on your next Test

You are welcome, Miss Nico. I am happy to assist.

[He gives a small bow and returns to his seat to hear the rest of the lesson.]
