Come on. It's way more fun if you stick to it and find out how to make what you have work. Trust me, your kids will find themselves in worse circumstances if you stick to RP. Find the ways to let them dig themselves out. Mistakes happen. We just... fix them.
All right, now that's a more specific start. Some starting directions from there are: why was she strong? What was driving her? How did she express her considerateness? How have you not? That way you can highlight in your mind things to avoid in the future. And every tag, before you hit send. Ask yourself, would the Moira from the movie say/do this?
You know, those two things are mutually exclusive. To get a degree in genetics, she will need to be away from the house for semesters at a time. (And Charles may have a degree, but he cannot educate her on his own, not when he has an entire nascent school for mutants and time-travelers to take care of. Not to mention that his last statement was that he wants to have as little to do with her as possible.) So at the very least you will have to choose between them.
Hank is a genius, but still, he doesn't have the physical means and setup to give somebody a medical researcher degree - let alone the time, since he's busting his ass to come up with a. Mansion defenses, and b. means for the time drops to be reversed. To the point where he collapses over his research in exhaustion, has way too much coffee and way too little sleep, etc. (Obviously, yes, talk with the mun. But before you make plans for another muse? Keep in mind what they are doing.)

I'm looking at these as ideas, not plans. I am going to blend comic and movie canon, so while she may not technically get a Ph.D., I could still have her be extremely knowledgeable on the subject. That may not require Hank to teach her directly 24/7, but directing her to the right books/papers/periodicals to read, etc. would be a good start.
But like I said, I have not planned anything out, and certainly would not godmod another person's muse like that. What happened with Charles-mun was a misunderstanding on my part, and us not being on the same page as to where we wanted the characters to go. Certainly after what's happened, I won't be making that mistake again.
I am not entirely new to RP, I have been playing for over 2 years. I learn something new with every new muse, and each new comm. Every game is different, and it's taking me time to adjust to the way this one is played. But that's the way it is joining a game in progress, both you and your muse have to learn the other characters and the history.

Anytime!
Yes, considering possibilities is good. Just also consider what they mean. Becoming knowledgeable in genetics does not get limited to reading about it. There are also things that need to be seen and experimented on. And it takes years. Things like that!
*nods, sends hugs* Not getting stuck in the same mistake is good. Seeking out new horizons is awesome.

As before, I appreciate your help.
