Hello everyone. What an interesting question, Zack. Well...when my mutant powers fail me...which thankfully, is not often...I fall back on the fighting skills I learned when I became part of a gang of thieves and pickpockets as an orphan child growing up on the streets of Cairo. Yes...at one time, I was the kind of person that all of you...my new friends at ACME...might have arrested. ;) I am also good with handguns and knives, which I have used before...but in self-defense only.

But eventually, I met and joined the X-Men, and it changed my life for the better. It gave me a greater purpose, a way to use my natural gifts, and people that I consider family.

I still practice my fighting skills whenever I am able to...but now..it's just for fun...and good physical fitness. ;)

Well...I like to think my intelligence is my best asset. It's amazing to me how I can remember many different obscure facts that I have learned many years ago...and how helpful these things are in the this job. But my short-term memory is not as good...so I have to take extensive notes, to learn and remember things. So I can learn things quickly, if I need to, and adapt to many situations.

I have never had any formal lessons in any kind of fighting or self-defense, but I'm not afraid to try to learn. I may not seem very big, or athletic, but I am not weak, either. And I certainly do have that "fighting spirit" at times, which I blame on my inner Irishness. ;)

But, looking @Ororo Munroe's comment, I think that maybe the next time I am in fight, I will just call her instead. Hahahaha. :)

Hello Julie. I will be happy to help you whenever I am able, in any way that you need. But if you really do have that "fighting spirit" which you attribute to your "inner Irishness" then you probably do not need my help. You are obviously very resourceful. ;)

Nace's weapons of choice are a 9mm Browning HiPower pistol and a Bulgarian Makarov pistol for a secondary pistol. As far as rifles are concerned he has a .303 No. 4 Enfield Rifle which he retains an affinity for owing to the fact that he was taught to fire heavy barreled .303 caliber rifles from boyhood. As far as more modern rifles are concerned he has a semi-automatic Saiga .308, customized with a pistol grip and 3-9x variable power telescopic sights.

I have this pen I really like... tactical pen, not necessarily a weapon. It has a magnesium alloy body, razor-sharp iridium nib, and can withstand force of up to 750 PSI. It's lethal in the right hands... and performs great with Midnight Black ferro ink.

Ennai would rather avoid fighting, despite the rush she gets from it. She's aware that anything can happen in a fight and that they're best avoided. Despite relying predominantly on analysis and short term strategy to get by and avoid conflict, Ennai tends to be reactive. She finds long term plans good in a broader sense, but foolish to cling to strictly due to the probability of unforseen variables. Preparation and planning is the key to her success in basically staying alive at all, but so is not betting on the surety of anything.

Ennai really likes knives, but often prefers guns in more volitile environments, because a knife doesn't beat a quick draw. She was once really fond of the practicality of sniper rifles, at a much, much younger age. The thought of them now fills her with an overwhelming sense of nausea. If it comes to a fight, Ennai will strongly try to adhere to hand-to-hand combat unless backed into a corner.

I can imagine her and the Retro-version of Nace having quite the discussion on this subject.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
