    It's 1980s New York in the fall. The leaves have fallen out of the trees and the air has turned cold, crisp. You're Evelyn Schwartz, a homeless mutant who was kicked out of her home last year. The X men and the Brotherhood debuted two years ago and while they have made strides in their own ways, mutants still face fierce discrimination. They can be barred from most places and housing is often refused to them. Your powers are unimpressive to you, having only the ability to move an ounce and the ability to change your skin color to different colors.

    What are your attributes? (Must choose at least one, can choose all of them.)

    [ ]Claws that can retract.

    [ ] All blue eyes that glow when using your powers.

    [ ] Feathers on your elbows and knees

    [ ] Scales on your elbows and knees

    [ ] Bushy prehensile Tail

    [ ] Write In.

    What is your backstory?

    [ ] You come from a rich family that tried to have you killed when you emerged as a mutant, seeking to erase you, a stain, on their family. [THE FAMILY LEGACY]

    [ ] You come from a middle class family that loved you dearly until you emerged as a mutant. Then they kicked you out. You're hoping to find your sister in New York who might take you in, but she didn't leave an address when she left your family for reasons you're beginning to understand ... [SISTER DEAR]

    Evelyn Schwartz shivered in the fire escape as she woke up to a gale of wind through the alleyway. She'd have to find somewhere to live soon, hopefully she'd find her sister by then. Going to any of the anti mutie shelters, which was all of them, was a risky business. She had heard of rumors of mutants who came in and didn't come back out. She adjusted the sunglasses she was wearing to hide her unnatural all blue eyes and checked her pocket. There was only a crisp twenty dollar bill, a far cry from the three hundred dollars she had started out with when her asshole parents had kicked her out.

    Her stomach grumbled and Evelyn made the trek down to the hotdog stand she usually went to, where the friendly Irish man never asked too many questions about her homelessness and choice of eyewear. He was the cheapest food around at three dollars.

    "Hey Mister Ryan," she greeted, with a smile.

    "Nice to see you again," he greeted back. "Usual?"

    "Yup," she said. He quickly got it done and handed her the hotdog with ketchup and onions that she took gratefully while sitting on a bench nearby to people watch. She didn't have much options at the moment. Maybe she could be a paper seller for the Daily Bugle or do that under the table cleaning job she heard about from Ed, the resident permanent hobo. But she also wanted to look for her sister, where her only clue was that she was living in a neighborhood called Hell's Kitchen and her name 'Catherine Schwartz'.

    What do you do?

    [ ] Go to the Daily Bugle and try to sell papers for them.

    [ ] Go to Ed and get that under the table cleaning job.

    [ ] Go to Hell's Kitchen and ask around for her. (DC: 15. I Roll 1d20)
