[In Character] [OUT OF CHARACTER] [Characters]
GM: Violetember. Co-GM(s): Hillan, Teen Idle, Lord Wraith, & Stein.
Remake of the original made by Teen Idle

"In the year 2016, All hell broke loose. The Anti-Mutant campaigns got a upswing, and the harassment of the mutants became an everyday thing. First, the mutants were just bullied in the streets, then it got really violent. By the middle of 2018, a full-scale war broke out. A war so fearsome that something like it had not been seen since the World Wars. Although this war, on official records, was stated to have ended in the battle of Denver, it is far from over. The war yet rages on.

The world has been taken apart, the United States are still fighting their war on the Mutants, allying with several of the United Nations. It's Chaos all over the globe. The United Offensive ( As the new Government calls itself) have pushed down most civil-rights for mutants and sympathisers alike, you can't speak up against them, or you'll be put in prison, or worse. The Xavier's institute for extraordinary youngsters have been destroyed, and most of the X-men have been killed. The Fantastic Four have vanished, Spider-Man was publically executed, as a warning off to all mutants and sympathisers alike, the Avengers have scattered, Thor returning to Asgard, Bruce Banner being captured, Captain America have been frozen again and Tony Stark has been put in a maximum-security prison, and his suits either destroyed or hidden away, the actual case is not known.

Most mutants live in fear now, they know that if they show their powers, they'd get killed by the various soldiers roaming the streets. There are several groups of mutants whom are working against the government, some have given up hope, and some are still trying to come to a settling with the humans, with mostly negative results.

The X-men are destroyed. The institute has been laid to ruins, and the professor was executed. The team was either captured or killed. The few of them that actually did survive? They're still trying to win this war... I'm still fighting the good fight, though we'd need a miracle to win."
- Rémy Etienne LeBeau

[PLOT]

It is the year 2021 and, despite a dip in the economy, human life is relatively normal. However, you are not a human. You are a mutant; they know who you are, they know what you are, and they will hunt you down. They will hunt down every last one of us, stopping at nothing until the world is rid of the imperfection that is mutant kind. It is however, up to you what is going to happen.

You have a choice. Either, you can hide your identity, hide your gifts, live a life in terror and go against all the things a great man once envisioned for our kind, nay, for everyone. You know that they will find you one day, you will slip-up and lose control, and they will put you down like a sick dog. Or you can choose to fight, even when the odds are against you, we are outnumbered and we are overpowered. Sure, it will end tragically, and it will end bloodily... But you can always rest assured that you will go down fighting, that you tried your best to fight for your right to live equally to those not born with our gifts.

You can choose to be a coward, or you can choose to join the X-Men.

[FACTIONS]

The X-men. Formerly one of the greatest, and definitely the biggest team of Super-powered induviduals on the planet. Lead by the late Charles Xavier, the team of people ranging from teens to elders have been active since the 60's, and have constantly been working for Human and Mutant equality. The team now helps mutants whenever and wherever they can, to train them, or to just help them get to a safe-place. But, they are also constantly trying to co-ordinate small strikes against the United Offensive. They are currently lead by the mutants Lorna Dale (Polaris) and Remy Etienne Lebeau (Gambit).

Following teachings not unlike those of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the MSA are the poster-boys for all the things the UO is afraid of in mutants. They are the most dangerous and most powerful terrorists on the planet. Not only do they strike against the UO, but also against the civilians of the world. They help mutants, but demand that their fellow mutants join them, fencing the typical " With us or against us" mindset. They are lead by a mysterious mutant, whom no one really knows much about.

The mutant hunting squad, the elite of the UO. The most skilled soldiers in the army of the UO are sent to the MHS, where they are pushed to their physical and mental peak, there are even rumors saying that they are boosted with the Super-Soldier serum, that gave the world Captain America. They are equipped and trained in the most effective ways to capture, or kill mutants. They are a fairly small group, their numbers not even reaching the hundreds. Each one of the MHS soldiers are capable of calling in Sentinels, should they need it. It is lead by the Four-Star General; Richard Thomson.

The United States Of America's Initiative in 2014 was to create a registration act for all the mutants in their country, many mutants accepted, as they were told they would be given special rights, to be put into schools that would teach them how to use their powers for the betterment of mankind and given santuary if they required it. Turns out, it was a load of bull crap, and not before the United Nations had signed the treaty, did the full plan of the registration act came into play. The UO is composed of the vast majority of the UN, as well as North America and North Korea.

A faction that is only rumoured to exist, the rumours of a watering hole, where mutants don't have to be afraid, where they can just live their lives, and not be scared of the UO or the MHS. The UD is supposedly located in Las Vegas, Nevada, the place that is rumoured to be a safe-Haven for mutants and mutant sympathizers. However, there is no evidence that Las Vegas even exists, as all satellite imagery only shows a destroyed Vegas, after the various battles that had happened there in the past.

How to determine a Danger Rank for your character...
S: Most Wanted mutants. The MHS and Sentinels are deployed to deal with these mutants. There are only two known S-Ranked mutants alive.

A: Wanted mutants that have committed mass destruction on large, populous areas. The MHS is deployed to deal with these mutants
B: Wanted mutants that have consistently committed serious crimes, the UO is constantly in pursuit of these mutants.
C: Wanted mutants that have demonstrated dangerous capabilities, the UO wants as many of these mutants detained as possible.

D: Known mutants that have caused minor disturbances, the UO will designate smaller pursuits to capture mutants of this rank.
E: Known mutants that have yet to cause a disturbance, the UO is relatively disinterested in capturing mutants of this rank.

N/A: Unknown mutants that have not yet caught the attention of the UO.

While I am aware that originally, this is Teen Idle and Hillan's role play, I have recreated it in an effort to keep it lasting longer than it did the first try. In order to do so, I need dedicated role players who hardly ever abandon RPG for a long period of time, and overall, know how to role play well. This is a high casual role play, and I expect nothing less. When you feel your bio has reached your full potential, post it here and I or a Co-GM will examine it thoroughly. From there, we will decide whether the character will bring something to the role play. Keep in mind that I will only be accepting so many people (no more than nine or ten), therefore if you are sincerely dedicated, make sure to apply as much effort as possible. Thanks guys. <3

Fake and gay.

[violetember]

Shut up. You know you love me.

[mast3rlinkx]

I'll do my best to post to high casual standards, but I'm still interested. I'll post up a CS once I can get my focus off that other roleplay I mentioned on the last thread.

[mast3rlinkx]

I've changed my mind on what character to use. I hope having both polymorphing and highly powerful pyrokinesis is not an issue. The polymorphing is really more of a way to hide his mutation than anything so he can survive for this long. The real focus is on the pyrokinesis. I'll have the sheet up sometime today, most likely.

Alrighty here's my character sheet.

Name: Jax Kiveros

Codename: Rager

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Danger Rank: B Jax has caused a massive amount of damage to the forces of both the UO and the MHS which have caused him to be labeled a dangerous threat.

Appearance: ((Sorry, I couldn't get a picture.)) Jax AKA Rager is very smiliar in apperance to the Incredible Hulk when in his transformed state except for a few key differences such as his skin being a darker shade of green and having blue eyes instead of green. When in his human form, Jax wears a black jacket and blue jeans along with a pair of black sun glasses while sporting a crew cut.

Personality: Before Jax experiemented on himself he was a man who sympathized with those who didn't have the strength to defend themselves. For the most part he still feels that way except now he has a ruthlessness abount him when fighting those who attack others. He has a sense of honor and will often run into a fight without learning all the facts which is what caused him to become such a dangerous threat to many of the organizations that now hunt Mutants.

Powers: Super Human Strength and Endurance.

Skills: Skilled hand to hand combatant and has control of his own mind and personality when he transforms.

History: Jax was always someone who sympathized with the mutant cause even before the war against them. It was after Bruce Banner was captured and Spider-Man was captured and executed that he decided that the mutant world needed someone who could stand up for others and he would help them even if it cost him his own life in the process. He began to dig into classified information that allowed him to recreate Doctor Bruce Banner's experiments with gamma radiation without the gamma bomb which would have drawn far too much attention. He set up his experiment in a deserted warehouse and set the experiment in action and after the experiment was completed he ended up destroying the warehouse to cover his tracks. A few days later, the gamma radiation began to take effect and the hero known as Rager was born.

It was shortly after this that he discovered that he hadn't covered his tracks well enough as agents from the UO confronted him outside of a small town and in the resulting battle, the UO agents were killed and he drew the attention of the goverment which promptly began to hunt him down. He's been traveling all over America trying to find others who share his ideas about standing up for others. He has recently heard rumors that a group of mutants who call themselves the X-Men are fighting against the UO and others who seek to destroy the mutants. He is currently attempting to locate them by listening to rumors but isn't having much luck.

I do believe we are accepting at the moment, but it's really up to Hillan. Violet may have started this thread, but this is Hillan's RP.


Name: James Furlow (birth name only; never uses, and has pretty much forgotten it after never using it for almost thirty years)

Codename: Kalamadea; shortened form is Kalama

Age: His mutation grants him long life. As such, he is about 50 or so, but his aging stopped at the age of 30.

Gender: Male

Danger Rank: C; Kalamadea has demonstrated extremely powerful pyrokinetic abilities and is to be captured at all costs.

Appearance: (I have to get access to a working scanner. I have a description of the character already typed up, though.) Kalama doesn't even appear human, making it more difficult for him to survive in a world that fears mutants. Kalamadea appears to be an anthropomorphic dragon, and is a little over six feet in height, measuring in at 6'3". He weighs a little over 250 lbs. He's a very large individual. His facial features and body structure is more draconic than reptilian, with a broader, flatter snout than, say, a lizard. He has two large horns growing from the back of his head that serve as the main channeling rods of his magic when he channels it through his mouth, with six other, much smaller horns growing on the lower half of his jaws. He also has horns growing from his elbows that serve as the channeling rods for his hands. And finally, he has two large horns growing from his back, which serve as channeling rods when he requires wings. He has a thick, muscular tail and broad feet, which are at the end of digitigrade legs, that support his weight quite well. His hand have claws on the digits. And, finally, his eyes are a deep green color, and his scales are a fiery red.

Personality: Kalama, being my fursona, has my personality for the most part. A lot of times, he can get quiet and not talk much. He's very polite and doesn't anger easily, which isn't the kind of thing a normal human being would expect of a mutant. However, one thing he absolutely cannot stand is ignorance and idiocy, and his high intellect tends to get to his head sometimes. As such, he's also got a hint of arrogance in his personality, sometimes thinking himself to be better than others just because he's more intelligent than the average human. When he gets angry, he still manages to not get violent except in extreme anger, becoming quiet and snapping at others when they speak to him. Other than that, find out in play. (Sorry if this seems skimpy, but personality sections are my weak point.

Powers:
Pyrokinesis: Kalama possesses highly advanced pyrokinetic abilities, able to take complete control of fire and even make it compress, solidify, liquefy, etc. While technically a psychic ability, the wide range of what he can do with this ability has led many to mistake it for pyromancy, a magical ability. Even his method of using this ability has the appearance of magic, giving the illusion that his horns serve as channeling rods for magic. This is due to the fact that, depending on which part of his body the ability is being used through, different horns will flicker with flames. When using it through his mouth to literally breathe fire, the horns on the back of his head flicker with flames. When using his hands, the horns on his elbows flicker with flames. When using it through his back in order to create wings, the horns on his back flicker with flames, though the flickering of flames is never visible through the wings themselves. When using his entire body as a catalyst for his pyrokinesis, every horn on his body flickers with flames. The horns on his jaws flicker with flames no matter what part of his body is conducting his psychic energy.

Flight: While he doesn't possess physical wings, he can create wings made purely of fire. By solidifying these wings, they can behave no differently from physical wings. These fiery wings have a span of anywhere from 12 to 14 feet, depending on how much pyrokinetic energy he uses.

Volcanic Affinity: Kalama is immune to fire, though this does not apply to fire-related things such as magma.

Polymorphism: Kalama possesses a very, very limited polymorph ability. He cannot, under any circumstances, increase his mass, though he can decrease it by transferring his extra mass into another dimension he calls the Out. He can change his coloration, however. There's also a time limit on his shifting; he cannot remain shifted for more than four days. After the first day, he feels a bit itchy. After the second day, he gets a tightened sensation over his entire body. Three days brings a claustrophobic feeling, and four days forces him back into his natural, draconic form. He really only uses this for moving through an area with a heavy human population.

Superhuman Physiology: Kalama possesses a moderate degree of superhuman strength. He could lift about five tons easily and punch through half inch thick steel, and even thin titanium, with little effort. Due to his digitigrade legs, he can run much faster than the average human. He also has a considerably stronger immune system than a human, giving him a moderate resistance to disease, toxins, and drugs. He also has increased stamina and endurance, as well as heightened senses.

Skills: Very familiar with computers and their operation. Can perform basic repairs of computer equipment. Can diagnose minor problems in software.
Highly intelligent
Moderately skilled swordsman
Moderately skilled marksman
Extremely familiar with his polymorph ability
High degree of control over his pyrokinetic abilities

History: Kalama was very lucky, not being born to non-mutated humans like many are. He was born to two mutants. At the age of six, about a year after he discovered his polymorph ability, his parents were caught by the UO and taken into captivity. He managed to survive by shifting into a human form at the request of his parents. Since he was not in their records, he wasn't captured. Instead, he was "rescued" and taken to a children's shelter. Two days later, the new child had disappeared, and part of the fence surrounding the yard was melted, leaving a hole big enough for said child to just barely crawl through. That child was never seen again. For the longest time, he hid out in a burned out building, where nobody save for teenagers would venture. And when teens did venture in there, he'd usually hide well enough to not be noticed. He grew up in this manner, falling into a rhythm. When he needed food, he'd shift into the form of a bedraggled homeless man, scrapping up money from begging then taking on a much less pitiful form to go buy food. However, such safety couldn't last forever. He was eventually seen by a human that didn't sympathize with mutants in his draconic form due to carelessness on his part. In the resulting skirmish, he incinerated the UO agents sent to capture him and barely managed to escape. However, this branded him a wanted man, though having the multitude of forms that he has would make it a bit more difficult to track him.

He wandered all throughout the United States for about a decade, and eventually found himself with the MSA. He felt out of place there, however, as though he didn't actually belong there. Soon, the source of that feeling was made apparent when, in an operation to strike against the UO, several innocents were slaughtered just for getting in the way. That told him more than was necessary, so he abandoned the MSA and hoped to find a better group of mutants who were not as apathetic about civilian slaughter.


Would it be fine to start as a member of the X-Men, or will we have to get into contact through IC events?

[mast3rlinkx]

Uh, are you guys here? I'd rather not see this die a third time.
