Welcome to The Jean Grey School for Higher Learning
Here mutants young and old, new or experienced are going to learn about the wonders and the dangers of what it means to be a mutant. It is here where the X-Men, heroes, vigilantes, and occasionally acclaimed terrorist will educate and train you to become the best version of who you can be.

That's the message for those who are still naive enough to believe that crap people put on the ads. If you're remotely aware of what happens in the home of the X-Men the only thing a student in this school really needs to know is that once a month, if not a week there will be a new threat getting ready to blow up the school because of what someone, the teachers did, to that one guy, or group, probably some sort of intergalactic or mystical creature. on certain occasions it may just be some normal humans who have a bone to pick with mutants for some reason, or maybe its another mutant who's angry or ticked off because they can't control their powers and now they're out for revenge. Maybe it's SHIELD trying to spy on the school, or maybe the brotherhood trying to play SHIELD so they can blow up the school, or it could be the Avengers and the X-Men are having a another stupid fight because of that one thing or that one person, again.
Honestly the adults who run this place are incompetent when it comes to teaching new mutants and the students who are actually trying to learn, so finally someone smart, who's name probably doesn't start with H and M decided let's have the students who are only really here because they have nowhere else to go. They have the experience, the skills, and they actually want to do it instead of homework.

This story follows the adventures of a group of Jean Grey Institute students as they are recruited to form a special task force meant to tackle the school’s problems when the teachers are away dealing with intergalactic troubles. The characters will fight gangs, B to D list villains, deal with enemies after the X-Men, and guide the new mutants as they become a part of the more complicated matters that the X-Men has to deal with. They'll also try to teach and train because god knows the actual teachers can't afford to teach the near hundreds of new mutants who are in school for schooling.
NOTE: As for characters we are limited to characters who are canonically in the Jean Grey School, as far as I know as of writing this.
If anyone is familiar with the New X-Men, Young X-Men, and the Wolverine and the X-Men titles this story will follow characters introduced in those titles, and will go in line with the stories presented in those stories wherein the adults are too busy to deal with the people they're supposed to help.
There is no need to read up on the comics, and you do not need to be up to date. Minimal knowledge of the X-Men will suffice. The only thing you need to know is that these students are canonically in the marvel universe and are students in the school, Xavier and Wolverine are currently dead, Storm is running the school, and the campus currently looks like the picture above, details will be added later.
As for the plot it will mostly follow the group of characters, and their staff adviser. They'll go on missions and do action stuff, most of which will be about dealing with the things that the X-Men are too busy dealing with, such as looking and rescuing for new mutants, dealing with old and new enemies, and going on finding themselves as they journey into adulthood without the X-Men and the school as a net.
Size wise I'm pretty fluid, but I'd like to keep it to a maximum of eight people, me included. Standard RP rules apply of course. If you want to create or play character not on the list talk to me about it, but just understand that the main reason I made this RP was because I felt like these characters are being done a disservice by being stuck in the background when they have their own story potential.
