It's modern day, and the once well known hero of both humans and mutants, Charles Xavier aka Professor X, has long since passed away. It was his hope, along with that of many others, that the peace and acceptance between mutants and humans would last, even after his death. However, this was not the case. A few months after the Professor's passing, a once small and verbal protest group against mutant equality, the Equalists, turned into a violent and organized terrorist group, making themselves more public. It was only until they did a public execution of 10 innocent mutants and started posting videos online of mutants being murdered, that the public realized just how serious and dangerous the Equalists were. Recently, there have even been cases where humans that support mutant equality, have been murdered.

Rumors have been going around that the Equalists have now been capturing mutants and using them as weapons and forcing them to work for them, either by blackmail, threats, or violence. A former student of the late Professor, Francis Latour, has decided that it is finally time to take action and create his own X-MEN, like his teacher before him. For the past month, he has been scouring the globe recruiting any mutant he can. Time to get the school supplies because the first day of class for Professor Latour... starts tomorrow.

Okay! So first things first! While one of the genre's for this thread is romance, it is not the main idea, rather romance is acceptable and probably will show up as bonds will form between characters.

Now that we got that out of the way, the thread will be taking place in modern times and will start out at the institute. At first, your character will have limited to little to no control over their power. This however, is obviously not permanent as your character will learn how to control it over time. Another thing I would like to address is that if you have rped with me in the past you would already know that when it comes to plot, I am lacking and not very good at it. Thus! I will be looking for cogms immediately to help me with coming up with ideas.

If we get enough people that are interested, say at least 5 people, then I will get this thing started for reals and post a cs skeleton.

I am usually open to suggestions and opinions when it comes to lore and plot so feel free to spit ball ideas, and I will most likely update this post as I come up with more ideas for lore and such so keep your eyes peeled.

Another thing I want to bring up, thanks to the help of a lovely sassy lassy, is that I will allow only 3 older and more advanced/experienced students that have a good feel and control of their powers and will assist Professor Latour with teaching the students. These spots will be first come first serve when reserving a spot for this role.

Advanced students: 1/3 available

Also! Human characters, Equalisers, and multiple characters are indeed allowed. However, I want to keep the amount of mutants and humans as well as the amount of XMEN and Equalists pretty balanced out, if not, slightly more XMEN and mutants if possible. Therefore, I will allow up to 2-3 characters per person and I will keep track of the amount of humans, mutants, etc.

Taken powers:
Manipulation and creation of fire
Electrocensis
Telepathy
Enragement
Teleportation

Sounds lovely, honestly.

Hm, I don't have any ideas right now but I am sure some will come to me after awhile. :)

I'll be sure to let you know though!

@HushedWhispers I'm glad you like it! So I am correct to assume that you are interested in the thread? And yes please if any ideas do arise in that glorious, beautiful mind of yours then please do share! :)

I'm interested. Count me in.

Yes. I love X-Men, honestly. :D

And hm, maybe you can make it as to where they are more advanced students to help Professor Latour rather than everyone's character having little to no control over their abilities.

Because something could happen that the X-Men is needed and there is no one to go but Professor Latour. Make sense?

I hope I am reading everything correctly.

I was thinking of making an X-Men RP but I think I will join this instead.

When I do an X-Men RP I like to do the RP in arcs which have its own set of villains and members. By that I mean I like to have canon and OC characters within my X-Men RP's. I also like to throw in subplots such as kick and even rewrite events that have already happened. Generally, it does not follow any of the comics and is a completely new line where the X-Men have to deal with it as if it never happened. That is just me though and is in no means a rule one should have to follow.

@HushedWhispers I see what you mean and I agree. I will allow a few older and more advanced/ experienced students that have a good feel for their abilities and can control them for the most part but probably not anymore than 2 or 3 total.

Okay. I'll claim one of those spots to get things rolling. :)

@Royzooka I do want to have multiple arcs in the thread as well and I am hoping that this will happen as the story progresses. This thread will consist entirely of OC's as I doubt anyone could play the roles of an existing character as well as the original, not to say that anyone is bad at playing roles or writing, rather, I understand how hard it is for someone to play a role in general, especially an already existing one and still have them act exactly as the original would. This also doesn't mean that the original X-MEN didn't exist or wouldn't be well known, quite the contrary actually, they will still have existed and still be well known, just... retired. For example, wolverine was officially introduced in 1974 and already well into his adult years, which would mean he's probably in his senior years if he isn't dead already.

Thank you for presenting your ideas and thank you for the interest!

More than interested!

@unfallenangel awesome! Just a few more people and we can start this thing!

...I think I might have a few designs drawn up that might work for this so possible interest I guess. ^^; Um, assuming that the RP isn't one of those "real life pictures for appearance only" things since it's based on a comic book and all but yeah.

@Rin ....... it's gonna be one of those "real life pictures" only kind of thread tho... sorry but I hope you are still interested ^^"

Looks like interesting, I already have an idea for a character

@Ace of flames01...Why? It doesn't really make sense for something based on a comic book, especially if someone wanted to do a character like Angel or Nightcrawler or Beast or Marrow or any of the other ones whose mutations are more physically apparent. ^^;

@Rin because I really don't like doing threads that include anime pictures in the cs as it makes it harder for me to Invision them and relate and actually be interested in. While the thread is based on a comic book, there are also live action movies. This thread will include a lot of lore from the comics but it will also include a lot from the movies. I'm sorry if this sounds selfish to you but I really don't feel comfortable with having anime in something like this. If this were a thread based around an anime then I would be fine with that but it isn't so I'd rather have "real life" pictures

For those who do have mutations that are different from regular humans, I would have them describe it in the appropriate part of the cs but I would like to have a good idea as to what they would look like

@Ace of flames01...I don't agree with your logic at all but I'm not going to push the point. Sorry about that, and hope it goes well for everyone else.

@Rin sorry it couldn't work out for you but thanks anyway

@Ace of flames01 so a photo like this is fine?

To everyone else, I just updated the lore a bit. Basically, there have been rumors about mutants being used as weapons and being forced to work for the Equalists.
