[h2]Introduction[/h2]

Somewhere in the United States, on an impossible border between a lush forest and a harsh desert, there exists a School, unknown to the majority of the world.  This School is not an ordinary school, nor are the students ordinary students.  The students at this school were born different from the majority of the human race.  Various terms have been used to describe them, including "metahuman", "mutant", and occasionally, "special".  Many humans are at least vaguely aware of the existence of these mutants, but, as there has never been a major incident involving them, they are left mostly alone.  However, it is quite obvious that a typical school cannot train these people, and training is absolutely necessary.  Thus, the School was founded, to provide mutants of all ages a chance to come and learn how to control their abilities.

It is now the time of the year when the largest group of new students enters the school for the first time.  Each student has potential beyond their wildest dreams, but with great potential also comes great danger.  For nothing is ever as it seems.  There is no denying that these students are different.  And there are always people who fear - and even seek to destroy - that which is different.  Yet others - other mutants - feel that they have become superior to mankind, and seek to place those who are not mutant into submission.  But even in the dark, there is still light shining through.

A new chapter begins.  Where will you fit?

[h2]Rules of the Phoenix[/h2]
1) I am the GM.  What I say goes.

2) No god-modding, powerplaying, metagaming, whatever you want to call it.  It ruins the fun for everyone else.

3) Don't double post.  Edit your previous post if you must.  There's a massive character cap, nobody should type that much.

4) When you're creating a character, try to be unique.  Look at other characters to make sure you don't double up.
[indent]4a) At the same time, similar =/= same.  If you can demonstrate a difference, go for it.[/indent]
5) Current character cap: 2 per person

6) Be friendly in OOC.  This really should go without saying.

7) If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask me.  I promise I don't bite!
