{{Tab}}Widely known around the country by name and often face to anyone who follows the news even a little bit, following his very publicized arrest and terrorism charges after news broke of the Prometheus Project, a research program that has been experimenting on mutants for many years -- Jackson was accused of terrorism for leading a team that for over a decade has been working to attack and break in to these facilities and free the mutants inside them. Jax did not deny any of the charges but claimed only that the facilities were a gross violation of human rights, that his team never killed a single person in the course of their actions, and that freeing the prisoners inside from nonconsensual experimentation was a necessary moral duty. The subsequent campaign to release him from jail and drop his charges was a deeply politicized and highly visible nationwide topic. | {{Tab}}Widely known around the country by name and often face to anyone who follows the news even a little bit, following his very publicized arrest and terrorism charges after news broke of the Prometheus Project, a research program that has been experimenting on mutants for many years -- Jackson was accused of terrorism for leading a team that for over a decade has been working to attack and break in to these facilities and free the mutants inside them.

{{Tab}}Around Xavier's, known for being obnoxiously COLOURFUL, obnoxiously cheerful, and a constantly reliable source of delicious desserts. Art teacher/baking teacher/sex ed teacher at XS. Known to be highly averse to giving homework, but with high expectations of Not Slacking Off in his actual classroom. Is a bit of a wildcard in terms of faculty/administrative relations; he's an unswervingly polite presence on the faculty but his outspoken anarchism (including frequent run-ins with the law and ''highly'' notorious terrorism charges), and his fiercely anti-assimilation views cause a bit of a headache for the administration and other faculty who maaaay not always be his biggest fan. Additionally his sex ed class earns more complaints from parents than probably any other class in the course catalog -- though this may have as much to do with Xavier's appointing their first openly queer teacher to teach a very radical sex ed curriculum as it does with any ''geniune'' problems with his teaching. No end of stirred feathers among the administration on his behalf means that he has often rocky relations with other teachers and admin as a ''coworker'', no matter how much they might (or might not) like him as an individual. | {{Tab}}Around Xavier's, known for being obnoxiously COLOURFUL, obnoxiously cheerful, and a constantly reliable source of delicious desserts.

*'''August 2020''' -- Manhattan, Corner of Duane & Hudson, formerly [[Happy Cakes Bakery]], TriBeCa; the site where seven years ago a young mutant was [[ArchivedLogs:Shadow Puppets|killed]] by a police officer. The entire mural is enclosed in an immense scroll that contains mountains (low, familiar upstate mountains) in the background and a wooded riverbend in the foreground where a freckle-faced sandy-haired young man is sitting in a bed of moss with a a quill in his hand, its nib dipped in glimmering white ink. Alanna is draped across his shoulders like a living stole, and he's smiling up at the inscription across the sky in wisps of glimmering high cloud that reads "Roll for initiative, party mine!" | *'''August 2020''' -- Manhattan, Corner of Duane & Hudson, formerly [[Happy Cakes Bakery]], TriBeCa; the site where seven years ago a young mutant was [[ArchivedLogs:Shadow Puppets|killed]] by a police officer.

*'''October 2020''' -- Manhattan, 6th St. Between A & B, several stories up on a brick face across from the Creative Little Garden. A [[Dawson|dark-haired young man with twisting scars down his face and a prosthetic arm intricately painted in a lifelike birdfeather pattern, beige with black speckles and a bright flash of yellow feathering on the underside.]] The man has kneeling, halfway through the process of constructing a beehive box, glancing up with a delighted expression as a northern flicker crosses the sky overhead, a flash of yellow bright underwing. There's a handful of honeybees, dotting a winding path from background to foreground, tracing a visual line from the bird to where the man is kneeling. | *'''October 2020''' -- Manhattan, 6th St. Between A & B, several stories up on a brick face across from the Creative Little Garden.

*''April, 2021'' -- Brooklyn, 46th & 5th, across the wall of a daycare.

*''July, 2021'' -- The Bronx, Alexander Ave & 138th, the wall of an apartment building opposite the 40th Precinct. A middle-aged Latina woman with large black-feathered wings sits perched on the back of a park bench beside a younger Latina girl, both looking up towards the clouds; the older woman is pointing up, one of the fluffy clouds above shaped almost like an orchid overhead. | *'''July, 2021''' -- The Bronx, Alexander Ave & 138th, the wall of an apartment building opposite the 40th Precinct.

*''October, 2021'' -- The Bronx, Independece Ave & W 246th St, a large wall just outside a farmer's market opposite the boundary between Freaktown and Not Freaktown. [[Dusk|A man with large dark bat wings and a sharply fanged smile, haloed in soft multicolored light by a backdrop of erratically strung fairy lights. He is standing at the edge of a small cluster of people who have not been drawn in detail, turned to a smaller woman with yellow-green scales along her skin. She is watching him intently, his hands raised -- those versed in American Sign Language might recognize the shape and direction of his current handshape: ''revolution''. | *'''October, 2021''' -- The Bronx, Independece Ave & W 246th St, a large wall just outside a farmer's market opposite the boundary between Freaktown and Not Freaktown.

**Most of his back is taken up by a large geometric design resembling the panels of a stained glass window. Most of it is empty, only black and white lines. There are a few panels filled in in full color and detail, though their imagery is eclectic: a hamsa; a pair of knitting kneedles stuck into a ball of rainbow yarn; a red umbrella; a small black cat; a bright-eyed jumping spider; a star of life with a raised fist replacing the center staff; a writing quill that trails a wisp of smoke from its nib. | **Most of his back is taken up by a large geometric design resembling the panels of a stained glass window.
