The Evermore Grimoire: Mutants

Selene Gallio is a centuries-old mutant psychic vampire also known as the Black Queen and is a longtime member of the Hellfire Club. She was born 17,000 years ago in central Europe, ‘After the Oceans swallowed Atlantis’ and ‘Before the rise of the sons of Aryas.’ Selene's mother was young when she gave birth to her, but would be dead before her daughter even spoke her first words. The tribal elders ordered her mother's people to sacrifice themselves to Selene until none remained. They then gave her sustenance as well as her name. As an immortal Selene possesses great magical powers, her chief among them is being able to manipulate shadows and darkness. She can also psionically drain the life forces of other human beings into herself, by physical touch. However if Selene drains a person's entire life force, the victim dies and their body crumbles into dust.

I Don't Want Sympathetic Villains

I've always liked Selene Gallio AKA The Black Queen of the Hellfire Club and one of the reasons aside from her impeccable taste in attire is that she is irredeemably awful.

There is no back story to make readers sympathize with her or leave room for her justification of being so vile. She's literally just a vile creature.

While characters like Mystique, Spiral, Madelyne Pryor, and even Sabretooth have back story that tells you about the traumas they faced, which turned them into monster. Selene on the other hand was simply born a monster.

I don't always want some backstory that tries to make me sympathize with an antagonist.

Also being a fan of an awful fictional (emphasis on FICTIONAL) character is not a reflection of the fan/consumer. I can like a vile character for plot purposes and despise them if they were ever to become real life individual.

Please more characters like Selene and Sauron.

Immortal X-Men #15 - "Thirst Things First" (2023)

[catboy-sinister]

Currently rotting, so I present:

The Quiet Council playing Minecraft

Charles: Tries to establish a community with order and rules, fails horribly. Forgets that it's just a game and gets way too involved in Minecraft Server Politics. Eventually just closes the server.

Erik: Hangs out with Ororo. Illyana or Beto probably showed him the game so he knows what he's doing, but he's here to relax. Way too sick of Charles to help him.

Apocalypse: Uses his Celestial tech to play because his hands are too large for normal human tech. Still can't run shaders.

Irene: Sits by Raven and tells her what she needs to do. Just happy to lay her head on her wife's shoulder, and to ruin Charles's day.

Raven: Gets competitive, immediately wants the best gear. Keeps stealing Charles's stuff when Irene tells her he won't notice. Describes the beautiful things she sees in detail to Irene and builds a flower garden for them both.

Nathaniel: Spends the entire time making his skin. When he does get into the game, he griefs Charles's house and then harrasses Apocalypse with TNT. Eventually gets bored, sets his game to creative, and blows up everything.

Emma: Collects all the types of cats and spends time building a beautiful base with Kate. As in, Kate gets the resources and builds the base, while Emma gives directions and adds details

Kate: Pretty good at the game. Harrasses Shaw and griefs his village. Loves resource gathering and mining.

Sebastian: Spends his time levelling up villagers and turning them to zombies + curing them so he gets the best deals.

Selene: Doesn't understand the villagers are NPCs, so she sets up a cult in a village to worship her. Secretly, she gets a little attached to them. She also builds plenty of Iron Golems.

Hope: Probably a Minecraft pro. Basically speedruns the best gear and farms while dragging Bennet along with her. At first, she tells Bennet to get her resources, but after he keeps getting lost/dying she just does it herself.

Bennet: Has no idea what's going on, but follows Hope around and does what she says. Easily gets lost without her. He likes the armor and weapons, he feels like a knight again.

Piotr: Collects a bunch of animals, and has an army of dogs. I imagine he names them after flowers and dyes their collars to match. Of course sets up large farms.

Kurt: Doesn't really know how to play the game. Tries to help Charles at first, but eventually goes out on his own or helps Piotr on his farms.

Ororo: Hangs out with Erik. Charles kept asking her to help him build a community but she was more interested in building and mining with Erik.

Jean: Knows how to play through Rachel and Teen Cable. Probably tries to sneak Scott onto the server but he says no. Also tries to help Charles but gets sick of him.

Doug: Secretly competing with Hope. Failing miserably, but he's still having a great time.

Krakoa: Asking Doug questions about the game. Eventually tries to recreate Minecraft biomes on the island. It becomes a major emergency because suddenly skeletons and zombies are appearing at night and attacking mutants.
