Basically, there are two main threads of continuity in my fiction, one in which Scott was an orphan, and one in which he wasn't.  The majority of my fiction concerns the latter thread.  Jean's background is essentially the same in either.  Because it's relatively simple, I'll handle the 'orphan' thread first.

Recurring (or Significant) Original Characters

EJ HAIGHT:

When Scott first arrived at Berkeley, he was given a dorm roommate assignment.  Fortunately for Scott, the fates smiled.  He got EJ.  The two of them shared an interest in music, the same politics, and a love for pranks; their classmates called them "Salt and Pepper."  After college, they remained close despite a continent between; EJ currently lives in San Jose, where he works as a dietician and volunteers with inner city kids.  He's among the few non-mutants to know about the X-Men.  EJ's father, Jeremiah Haight, is a preacher in the Black American Baptist tradition, and EJ is the eldest of four, with three younger sisters.  The oldest of these, Clarice, dated Scott for some months during his second year at Berkeley and they were fairly serious, but the affair imploded on differing life goals.  (Clarice is the only other woman Scott's genuinely loved.)  EJ's loves literature and music, and has some talent as a pianist, singer and song-writer.  He and Scott started a band together at Berkeley called Soapbox.  His interest in diet and health make him a bit of an exercise nut.  He jogs, plays basketball and has trained in Ishinru karate.  EJ appears in in Climb the Wind, An Accidental Interception of Fate, and The Heyoka Novel Series beginning with Children of the Middle Waters, but he's mentioned in other stories utilizing Scott's "Berkeley" background.  The actor whose image I've borrowed to be EJ is Peter James Bryant, best known for his role as Bling on the Fox TV series, Dark Angel.  The actress used for Clarice is Jada Pinkett-Smith.
 

FRANCESCO (FRANK) PLACIDO:

Frank, code-name Nostradamus, was one of Professor's Xavier's original students, along with Scott, Ororo, and Warren.  Born into a poor working class family in Genoa, his mother brought him to Xavier in desperation when his powers manifested and drove him mad.  He's one of the highest ranked Alpha Mutants in the world, and the only one besides Xavier safely able to use Cerebro (if modified for his own talent).  Nonetheless, his gift is non-combative.  Frank sees the future in infinate possibility, but there's often little he can do to affect it, so although the power and extent of his gift may be staggering, it's not always very useful.  Frank's personality is quiet and gentle, if a bit distant in an attempt to maintain his emotional equilibrium.  It's perhaps fitting, then, that he and the phlegmatic Ororo would pair up.  Logan refers to them, in Climb the Wind, as "the Goddess and the God."  Frank wanted to stay as an X-Man but ws never a good fighter; his gift wasn't made for battle, and it tended to make him double- and triple-think in a fight.  Scott finally confronted him about it, and Frank left the team for the safety of everyone.  Scott says it was one of the hardest things he ever had to do, but they both knew it was necessary.  Frank returned to Italy, to enter government work in an attempt to use his gifts in ways that might benefit mutants in the European community.  He also maintains safe-houses in Genoa and Rome for mutants, and wants to establish a little school on the island of Ginostra (off the Sicilian coast) for their training.  Xavier refers to Frank's plan as "Westchester East."  Frank appears in Climb the Wind, An Accidental Interception of Fate, and briefly in the second book of the Heyoka series, Children of the Middle Waters.  The actor whose image I've borrowed to be Frank is Italian-born, Oscar-nominee & Golden-Globe winner, Stefano Dionisi.  I won't even attempt to list all his films.  Americans and Canadians still know him best for Farinelli.
 

GRACE KILLS-HIS-HORSE:

CMFFA Winner:  Best Original Character
Grace, code-name Heyoka, appears ONLY in the Heyoka series.  She's pejuta win -- a medicine woman -- trained in Lakota tradition, but unlike women normally called to medicine, she's still fertile.  This makes some of the Elders uncomfortable, but she isn't rejected.  Her difference lies in the fact that she's a mutant.  Her primary gift is as an empath, yet she believes her talent for healing to be more valuable so that's where she's placed most of her effort at self-training.  She combines both her mutant abilities AND traditional medicine ways.  As a late teen, she had a daughter whom she lost to SIDS, a personal grief from which she's never entirely recovered although it was six years ago and she doesn't talk much about it.  At Xavier's, she's appointed herself to be the school secretary, because someone has to answer the phone, and the students have adopted her as a big sister.  The actress whose image I've used for Grace is Irene Bedard, prominent native actress best known to most, ironically, for her voice:  she was Disney's Pocahontas, but she's also appeared in such diverse films as Sherman Alexie's Sundance winner, Smoke Signals, and Tortilla Heaven.

Point of clarification: Readers seem either to like Grace, or dislike her -- not much in between.  She's a strong personality and evokes strong reactions.  A few have written to me, almost apologectically saying that they find her annoying.  That's OKAY.  She is annoying sometimes.  She does have her redeeming virtues (especially her humor) but as her brother describes her to Scott, she carries a chip on her shoulder the size and shape of Mount Rushmore.  She's young and angry and has a warrior's heart.  Like all (good) characters, she still has things to learn and room to mature as a human being.  None of the characters in Heyoka, including Scott and Jean, are perfect.  All have their fifteen minutes of Really Obnoxious Behavior.
 

VICTOR KILLS-HIS-HORSE:

Grace's brother (who like Jean refuses to pick a code-name because, as he says, his name already is one) is as different from Grace as night from day.  Victor's primary gift is a peculiar type of empathic telepathy.  Grace tends to "receive" empathic impressions (mostly because she's not trained that side of her gift).  But Victor projects them.  He's also able to read impressions from most mammals and birds, and to affect their behavior.  Xavier wishes to teach him to master his telepathic talent more fully.  I'll give further details about Victor only after his appearance in Children of the Middle Waters.  The actor whose image I've borrowed is Michael Greyeyes, best known for his portrayal of Crazy Horse in the TNT made-for-TV special of the same name, and his appearance in Dance Me Outside.

DR. JONATHAN BENNETT

Jon is the most significant original character from Special: the Genesis of Cyclops -- Scott's therapist.  He's a normal human, and plays a large role in Scott's life, helping him to come to terms with what happened to him as a teen.  Bennett has a phlegmatic style and calls his therapy method "whatever works."  Scott describes him so: "He wasn't like the professor, and reminded me of nothing so much as a sleepy-eyed sloe.  He'd lean back in his big leather seat with his cigarette and his eyes half-shut and listen as if he were bored, then suddenly speak up with an observation that shocked me in its perceptiveness."  Scott was Jon's patient for about 6 years.  Almost from the time that I conceived of Bennett, I saw Andre Braugher as my visual image.  Braugher is probably best known for his long stint as Frank Pembleton on Homicide: Life on the Street, but he's gone on since to star in a variety of things from film to TV.

HANK McCOY, WARREN WORTHINGTON, LEE FORRESTER, etc.

Although none of these are original characters, all do play significant recurring roles and I've 'cast' them with actors.  Readers might like to know who they are:

• Hank McCoy (Beast) -- Jon Favreau
• Warren Worthington (Angel) -- Jude Law
  
• Lee Forrester -- Lena Heady
• Nathaniel Essex -- Kevin Smith
• Emma Frost (White Queen) -- Portia de Rossi

And finally, before I'm completely unable to do this, what follows is the chronological order (with dates) in which the various stories on the site were posted.  This includes both the movieverse and comicverse, novels in red, novellas in blue.  And yes, some of the stories really were written that closely together.
