Here is the INTRODUCTION! (Read this if you have no clue what is going on.)

I thought I'd use this for some updates and disclaimers and whatever. So check back here for any updates and such. Okay. Where do I start? I'll tell you guys about the background of this story and my character.
Shard my profile character. I know there actually is another Shard in the X-Men Universe (Bishops sister), but you all are gonna have to deal with the fact that I didn't know that five years ago, when she was first named. Plus, there are two Phoenixes, two Sasquatches, two Sunfires, two Morphs, and so on. Anyways, Shard is a friend of Magneto's, they went through the Auschwitz concentration camp together and whatever. (I'm going to spoil you with what is in my fanfic.) She has a very unique power, which is to have total control over her genetic makeup. Which means that she can copy people's X-Genes, and use more than one at a time. Then you think, "That's WAY too powerful!" Ah! But there's a catch. If she uses more than four or five X-Genes at a time, she runs the risk of losing her own consciousness, similar to the risk Rogue has when touching people. And you say, "That's still pretty darn powerful!" and I say, "That's why it's my fanfic!"
Anyways, let's get on to a bit of history here. Right before my fanfic starts, the whole X-Men Evo Apocalypse saga has just happened. Except I changed it a bit. In the original, Rogue defeats Apocalypse, but as much as I like Rogue, it was really Magneto that did. So here's what happened: Apocalypse is about to do his whole death-ray-evolutionary-cleansing-thingy and Magneto tries to stop him because he's supposed to be the one ruling the world. Can't take competition. Apocalypse jacks up Mags and is about to kill him when Shard appears and starts kicking his ancient Egyptian butt; fighting him one on one. (It takes a juggernaut to stop a juggernaut.) He's beating her so she accesses all her little X-Genes she has stored up in herself at once and severely wounds him a big blast. But Shard's mind is lost in the process and Apocalypse still survives. Magneto sees her fall and in pure rage he rips Apocalypse's metal body apart atom by atom (Similar to the AoA X-Men universe). Apocalypse is dead and Shard is alive, but without her mind. My little fanfic starts a little after that. Can't tell you more, can't spoil the story.
FAQ of the day (which really isn't a Frequently Asked Question, or even a Once Asked Question, just something I thought you might want to know)
Oh crud, I forgot what I was gonna say… give me a minute. Okay, here it is: Why do you use X-Men Evolution as a basis of your fanfic?
Well, the Evo series is finished, and it leaves a lot of the X-Men universe untouched. I thought it would be easy for me to use it as a basis for my fanfic since I could go through many aspects of the Uncanny series with my own twist. So this is basically Uncanny X-Men if I had written it. You have to realize that it suited my needs quite perfectly. In New X-Men Magneto is dead; in Ultimate X-Men Magneto is heartless. (If you haven't realized this, Magneto is one of my favorite characters.) But if you look in the 90s X-Men, Magneto is NOT entirely evil, though I will admit, he isn't a saint either. So there's your answer, more or less. But all you Uncanny fans, don't worry, I'm heavily indoctrinated the X-Men Universe. And I'm not talking about the movies that really water down the coolness of X-men.
Until later,
Shard
