NOW THE BIG ONE.

Julian is going to break poor Charles' mind. :( Julian is pretty much going to assume after a bit that Charles is from Yet Another Stupid Alternate Universe because Emma Frost in Julian's universe is not old enough to have gone palling around with Xavier and Magneto. It's cool, he's met Nightcrawler and Rogue, so he already knows about alternate universes. He's also from "current" continuity, as opposed to Jubilee and Cessily/Mercury, who are from different timelines.

Julian was a student of Xavier's and while he was there he was a favourite of Emma Frost's, who has decided to try being good for a while and is actually a fairly competent teacher when she's not being petty. While at Xavier's Julian has watched a bus of his friends get blown up, the school get blown up by people who hate mutants, fought a robot intent on killing all mutants, rescued his best friend from a lab where they experimented on her to make a weapon, went to hell to rescue his classmates, went to rescue the first mutant baby born after a massive depowering of like 90% of all mutants and got impaled horribly and almost died, got disowned by his parents, Magneto told him to come back when he was legal and not sixteen ...

Then things got nasty.

He got roofie'd and then injected with the Legacy Virus so that his powers would go out of control and blow up the UN Building because this is a good plan. Then martial law is declared and any mutants caught on the streets after curfew will be arrested - Julian decides to ~make a stand~ and gets himself arrested on national television, where he is dumped into a prison cell and has his powers ripped out of him horrifically once a day in order to power this guy who kills mutants. Then he gets freed, they all go and live in this island off the coast of California and then like 100,000 mutant killing robots from the future travel back in time to try and kill off the last few mutants that have powers and Julian gets his hands blown off. Then he got mindfucked into thinking that he was in this war of attrition for three years and has nineteen years of repressed memories.

I detail all of this because by the sliding timescale I think all this happened in three months? At most? PROBABLY TWO?

ON THE UPSIDE, XAVIER AND MAGNETO ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE MUTANT KIND? SCOTT SUMMERS IS THEIR DOUCHELEADER? BONUSES?

But yeah, Julian is a messed up, traumatised ball of adolescent angst who flips between being someone who actually wants to get over his trauma and someone who just wants everyone to go the fuck away and leave him alone to sulk forever. He is rather skeptical that mutants and humans can live together in peace because they KEEP TRYING TO KILL HIM JFC, thinks that mutants are superior and clings to that in face of all trauma that he sustains as a result of being a mutant ... oh and he has an abandonment complex about how everyone leaves him and he's sick and tired of being the one left behind. MARVEL SURE WAS KIND TO HIM. he's actually gotten better in camp! Canon says that he's even more bitter and miserable.

Julian can't tell whether someone's reading him, because he's a psionic and not a telepath! That said, he's also savvy enough around telepaths to get their attention by thinking their name and yelling at them enough until they pay attention to him, despite being a telekinetic instead.

LOTS OF WORDS. I AM EXCITE.

ps come and live in our cabin Professor X, we have four babymutants. idek where Jubilee lives though.
