===The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver=== : Two gypsies imported as part of a Circus where they were kept as part of a sideshow attraction by the unscrupulous Mister Sinister using his own powers of mesmerism. The two have broken free but their color and foreign nature makes them perpetual outcasts along with their strange abilities. They hide their abilities and dwell in squalor. : Foundlings from Transia, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff fled their home when the local villagers blamed the strange twins for every misfortune. Pietro, who could run like the wind, and Wanda, who had phenomenal luck at just about anything, wandered Europe until Mister Sinister recruited them into his traveling circus. Billed as Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, the twins used their talents to amuse townsfolk, who presumed their amazing feats were but mere tricks. One day, while visiting England with the circus, the twins realized Sinister was manipulating them, so they fled hoping to find solace elsewhere. But two uneducated gypsies alone in England could not find reliable work or a safe home. reduced to poverty, the twins did whatever they could to survive and hide from Sinister. : Eventually Wanda came to be employed by an old woman named Agatha Harkness. Dame Agatha was visiting from America and offered Wanda a job as her companion. Reluctant to leave her brother, Wanda begged Agatha to hire him as well. But Pietro had already made the decision for both of them and ran off without a goodbye. It was then that Agatha revealed her true intentions-- she was a witch and wanted Wanda to become her apprentice! Because of her extraordinary luck, Wanda had already become acquainted with the occult arts in order to explain it away, so she trained in sorcery for seven years, eventually becoming a true witch. Wanda has now returned to England in search of her brother in the hope that he will return with her to America. :: From the Sons of Darwin line: Wanda's hex powers from the comics will be transformed into Luck Control and Probability Control of some sort. Instead of being entropy/bad luck-based, I am re-envisioning them as good luck. After all, one person's good luck is usually another's bad luck anyway. :: From the magic line: Wanda is a trained witch. While the comics-version has always vacillated between explaining Wanda's powers as mutant or magic or both, I'll make the 2 distinct, which will also ease rules efficiency. She'll get some standard magical abilities, but they won't be as powerful as a dedicated sorcerer's would be, which also reflects her newbie status as a magic-wielder. : Two gypsies imported as part of a Circus where they were kept as part of a sideshow attraction by the unscrupulous Mister Sinister using his own powers of mesmerism. The two have broken free but their color and foreign nature makes them perpetual outcasts along with their strange abilities. They hide their abilities and dwell in squalor. : also being Victorian, alot of stuff dealing with Cthon and Mt. Wundagore would fit. Perhaps Cthon is just another part of Lovecraft's Mythos? Not only that but The Scarlet Witch (pre-reality bending godhood) and Quicksilver would need little transplanting from when they were first introduced to when they became Avengers. Scarlet Witch - maybe Cthon takes her over and starts to emerge into the mortal world.
