Text; another poll

Hey everyone.

I'm sure some sort of demographics survey has been done in the past but I haven't seen one since I've been here and I'm curious. I've tried to keep it pretty basic. I know people are touchy about their privacy, and I know some aren't cool with being asked about special abilities/skills/powers/whatever, so obviously skip questions if you want to, no hard feelings. I'd rather just get name/age/planet than nothing at all, you know? Not like I'm going to hunt you down and force you to fill it out. But if you're willing to be more complete that'd be awesome and if there's something you think is important that I didn't include a field for, let me know.

Maybe there's a pattern here somewhere, maybe there's not, but at the very least it might be interesting or provide some useful data for department recruitment or something. Maybe you'll find some friends, whatever.

Thanks!

I don't, either.

[askedtobe]

You just get what you get?

[notmarieanymore]

Life force, memories, powers, personality. All of it, all at once

[askedtobe]

Then you get a lot more than I do.

[notmarieanymore]

It sure ain't a picnic

[askedtobe]

As far as I can tell, it never is.

[notmarieanymore]

No.

[askedtobe]

Does it help, being an X-Men?

[notmarieanymore]

I don't know how to answer that exactly.

I learn to use my powers for good. We try to focus on control, too, in one-on-one training sessions. But there's no hope for me. I got some sorta wall up, I guess.

But that's not even what being an X-Man is about. It's about helping people. Helping kids who are scared of their own shadows. About trying to tell them to be proud of themselves, no matter what their mutation is. At least, that's what it is, when I'm from.

[askedtobe]

That's a good enough answer for me. I was just curious, wanted to know if it helped make it mean something.

[notmarieanymore]

Yeah. It does. The X-Men saved my life, in more ways than one.

[askedtobe]

I'm glad you have it.
