Psychic Butterfly

“Talk is cheap, Slaymaster. Come and get me – if you can.”

Psylocke is a beautiful contradiction, a woman whose power deals with the mind, transformed into a physical warrior nearly without equal. English aristocracy in the body of an Eastern martial artist… a butterfly in the body of a killer. And she revels in it. Despite the many obstacles life has put in her way – and there are many – she can still find the pleasure in action, in the physicality.

Lately, Betsy Braddock has not had the easiest of lives. During her time as a member of Wolverine’s X-Force, she lost more than most – the man she loved, then her capacity to feel regret and finally her brother Jamie. Worse, she was forced to kill Archangel with her own hands only to see him return with no memories and she used her other brother Brian to kill Jamie to save the universe. In all fairness, at this point, she regards the inability to feel sorrow as what is probably keeping her going.

At the moment, she’s back among the X-Men at the Jean Grey School, teaching a little though she would be the first to admit it doesn’t really suit her. Children tend to make her sarcastic and Betsy’s tongue can be just as sharp as her swords when it suits, topping off an already intimidating appearance and history. School bores her, leaving her visibly eager for excitement and, despite her views on murder, Psylocke remains as ready to demonstrate her impressive close combat skills as ever.

Regardless, I’m open to threads with anyone really. Obviously, X-Men and students are the easiest, given where she lives and that most of her friends are X-Men. But Betsy wouldn’t be Betsy if she let herself be stuck in the school all the time, so she can be met in New York itself too. Friends and enemies are both appreciated. Psylocke is not looking for love at the moment, having been burnt twice in recent memory. However, given she can flirt with the best of them, that doesn’t exclude the possibility of a quick fling. Just don’t get attached.

In short, anything is possible! Feel free to suggest ideas here, by PM or just talk to me in the cbox.
