How long? How long had it been on Earth? How long in 616? It had to be a clean break. She had to do it on her own. Even her best friend, Kitty couldn't know. A quick trip to limbo, a few spells to seal the secret, and the younger Illyana was given a second chance. Years flowed by, Magik transversed dimensions, learned a great deal of magic, both black and white. But power comes at a price. She would likely never be the girl the tried so hard to be with the New Mutants. Fortunately, the DarkChilde had also been vanquished from her soul. What was left was Magik. Sorceress Supreme of Limbo. It was time to return to Earth, but she couldn't face her friends. Not yet. In Limbo, Magik met with Amanda, her stand-in. She had done the name of Magik proud even for wielding the false Soul Sword of Belasco. But Amanda's work was not yet done. Illyana needed time to adjust. And the X-men need not know she was back. Especially after the deceitful way that she left. While Amanda was the public face of Magik, Illyana exerted her control over Limbo like never before. Even S'ym started to show dutiful respect. One point of interest as Amanda caught-up 'Yanna on the past few years Was the Hellfire Club. There had been an uneasy truce at best between the Club and the X-men when she left. Now, 'Berto was running things. Just the in she needed. One day when the Lord Imperial entered his office, A long dead friend was making herself at home in his chair. "Impossible. You're dead." "In our line of work, 'Berto, dead is what's impossible." Illyana smiles coyly before her expression falls a bit. "Except for poor old Doug." "If you're looking to establish your credentials, Miss, you're going to need more than a little knowledge of Mr. Ramsey." "You want proof? Fine." A stepping disk is summoned depositing in front of the former comrades in arms an all too well known purple demon. "W'at's da matta, Boss? Lil dark an' broody not buyin' yer story?"

I’m liking it so far. You’ve got the demons, limbo, her relationship with Shadowcat, and even got “’Berto” down. I love it. I’m not quite picking up on the resurrection, I’ve got the vague picture of it, but this is the audition. It’s not necessary for it to be explained here, though it helps. I’ll expect full detail in the profile.
You might want to run a spell check and grammar check; excluding the natural speech vernacular of course. It’s only minor.
By the way, you may want to consider changing your display name to either of the characters. It is possible, with proboards, to register multiple accounts on a single board with only one e-mail address over and over again. Actually, it’s preferable you create a second account as it helps keep track of certain aspects.
Approved.

Actualy, it's more of a return than a resurecton. Saying the kid that died from the Leagacy Virus wasn't her, rather the other little Illyana that escaped leaving her X-men behind in Limbo.

Think I'll reclaim this one too. As the current Magik (a construct of Belasco) is still too much of an unknown, I think we should stick with the current set-up and tie-in the current canon Magik as we gain enough info to realy work with.

The events within New X-Men and Divided We Stand are as close to Illyana as it seems to be. Though a construct and lacking a soul, it is, regretfully, the character you seek.
I can not allow this separate Illyana, for contradictory canon reasons. It is as it is. This audition does pass clearly for Illyana Rasputin. And, as my judgment still stands, you are allowed to process a profile for her. But, to allow this original creation of Magik as your character constitutes it as an original character. And by original character standards, it does parody the actual Magik—and therefore will be allowed.

Are we starting this just before Civil War? If so, the current canon beres no weight. And if we are locked into upcomming events, Why bother making it an RPG?

Once more, I strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with the new rules and playing style of the game. For information on the current time placement of the game, refer to the Uatu’s Archives or the Marvel Release List, or simply ask. Which you have. Technically, it is the beginning of the Civil War. And the current canon does bear weight—despite your difference of opinion. Belasco’s pursuit of Illyana began since House of M. Upon Decimation, he began his campaign to find her again. The specifics of the time during are vague, but New X-Men 37 did mention it was a lengthy conflict. Belasco’s coup d’état could begin and progress currently. You are more than welcome to partake in such an event—you should find the various Limbo boards to be very accommodating of the task. And, I do not understand why this is not an RPG?

Point being, If the character has no room to grow outside the contrtaints of canon wheather or not it has taken place, than it isn't a game, rather just stumbling though the motions. No creativity. No fun. No reason to "play".

Once again, I highly recommend you review The Rules, or perhaps even the How to Play section, before proceeding. I see your misunderstanding, for this is the reason why Marvel Universe: The Saga of 616 was made. The belief that no “game” is present when a theme is made strictly canon to the events it’s based upon. Unchallenged beforehand, but of no issue here. For each and every own RPG has its own basis and structured upcoming events in order to entertain its players—is this so different save for that this game’s upcoming events are no secret. You’ve been given the opportunity to experience the very scenarios found only within the comic books themselves and yet you find no promise. For a character that is not yours, or created by you, this option is highly valuable. It’s the closest most players, unaffiliated with the comic book industry, will get to having their own ideas published within actual pages of the heroes they desire. To live within the very universe one reads of, and then adapt for what is not seen. To fill in the blanks. Marvel Universe: The Saga of 616 does not stunt creativity, deprive growth, or destroy development of the character—it is simply another unique boundary that those same scenarios have always had. Even I, in all my comic knowledge, at the beginning was easily accustomed to the idea that not every single second is accounted for within the life of the comic book character. And those moments. Those off-panel actions. Those unseen happenings. Those unaccounted recollections are your responsibility within this game. The best of both worlds. To participate within the actual comic book history itself, and to write for that character at the time. Because of this, can this be truly called 616. For those that do not see promise in that are truly uncreative. Then again, if you are unpleased about the chosen paths of a character that does not belong to you, there is always the option of finding the character that does please you or to create one yourself.

It's no prize to write knowing there can be no repercussions for what you write. To write not a story, But mindless meaningless fill between set-in-stone issues and panels. Unfortunately, this is a RPG for those who could go to prison and feel safe and secure from the unpredictable chaos of the outside world. Not for me. The rigidity I believe hurt prospective attendance/sign-ups the first time around. And while I cirtainly hope for the best, particulary with all the hard design work you've done, I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks for the input on the character bios. Maby I'll see you around other boards.

All professional writers have the very same responsibility. Their editor must approve of their submissions. They meet the same expectations and quotas required of them by their editor. They may adapt in-between until the editor says otherwise—as it is their final say on what is to be and not to be published. The life and death of the character in the editor’s hand. To tell them who can live. Who can die. Where they must go to please the market audience. I ask of you no less than of what an actual writer is tasked to do by the editor, myself, in the parameters set by every other writer around you within this publication’s setting. Whether it would be dealing with nine other X-Men publications adjacent to your own, or two other Avengers runs, all must work together at the editor’s whims. And if you prefer to be stranded out alone and adrift in the middle of the ocean than safe in this prison, I will not object.
It’s was always your decision to stay or leave. And you’re welcome to do either should you wish. I do recommend, perhaps that you are not ready for Marvel Universe: The Saga of 616. Should you find it difficult to adapt and accommodate a total of six canon comic books over the period of one or more years, when other players might easily deal with over fifty, maybe a canon character is too much responsibility for you.
