Summary:
Following the mass murder of over a hundred in Manchester by a previously unknown 'supervillain' the UK and US Governments introduce Mutant Registration legislation. Nick Fury is dismissed citing a loss of confidence in Fury from the U.N. Security Council following the incident in Manchester, but insiders leak it is more likely Fury's resistance to 'mutant countermeasures' being actively developed. At this point, Tony Stark begins to make contact with the Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning, fearing the worst for the mutants.
A week later a duplicate incident occurs in Kansas, and the US and UK Governments announce the Sentinel Program to combat dangerous mutants and ensure continued safety. When Stark Industries threatens to sue the US after claiming their Sentinel technology is illegally similar to technology his own power suits are based on, and Captain America comes out against the registration legislation, the Avengers are officially disbanded.
When former Director Fury secretly believes he's uncovered a plot put into place by rogue elements of the NSA, he is detained by Sentinel Drones while investigating the plot. Publicly the US government declares Fury a traitor, his name being connected with, despite lack of proof, to the Kansas and Manchester incidents. In his absence, Tony Stark has called together what Avengers and X-Men he can reach. The suggested meeting place is across the sea in Cuba, the USA yet unwilling to violate sovereign airspace with the Sentinels
Details
- Joint Avengers/X-Men task force.
- Collaborative GMing. While the GMs are trying to tell the story and have overall say-so, how the story unfolds is dependent on each player. If Sentinels come out of nowhere and attack the group in your post, then Sentinels come out of nowhere and attack the group.
- Modern Day setting.
- Custom timeline. More details on that in the OOC, but the highlights: Xavier's dead, Magneto's missing, Phoenix came and went, and the Avengers follow the movie universe for the most part.
- Advanced/High Casual Standards.
- GMs are Zacharius and myself.
At this point, we're just gauging interest. Probably looking at a small(ish) group of four to six players. An OC X-Man is fine, but you'll need a canon Avenger. Even if it's not one seen in the movies yet.
Thanks!
