Alexandria: The New Frontier
Sure, everybody is slightly different on the outside; height, skin color, hair, voices, birthmarks, and even funky smells. Everyone’s brain and organs on the inside are proportionally in the same places, and their bodies function in the same way. That’s how a species works, according to modern scientific research. What if this modern science missed something; Someone like you?
What if modern science said that you couldn’t exist because they couldn’t explain you? What you can do, that others in your perceived species cannot. What if those ones hated you without even knowing you? What if those people hid in the shadows, waiting-- hunting for you? To detain, decipher, and decease you?
What if they told you you shouldn’t belong? What if they alienated you? What if they made your friends and family abandon you? What if you were lost and alone?
What if you weren’t alone? What if there were really people like you all along? Just hidden behind legends and history? Just hidden behind the ones who control common knowledge, because they can’t control you?
What if you found new friends and family? What if they were tired of running and hiding? What if they were tired of being told that they didn’t belong? What if they just wanted to be free?
What if the hateful ones wanted this ‘mutated mutiny’ mutilated? What if they constructed machines to destroy the people like you? What if the people like you took a stand against this injustice? What if they fought for the generations of difference before, and the generations to come?
What if there are people like you were? Lost and trying to figure out where they belong? What if you wanted to help them but couldn’t do it on your own? What if you needed help to help them?
What if you were like me...?”
This is an RP centered around the concept of mutants. Yes it is inspired heavily from the concepts of the X-Men, but essentially a different take on it. There aren’t going to be canon characters, though characters of similar nature are welcome. This story is going to follow the journey of mutants and the nation of New Alexandria. The year is 2030, in a world not so different from our own with similar occurring events in history.
This mutant governed nation was formed after the Mutant/Human war in the United States, splitting California into a northern and southern half. New Alexandria is the southern half, with the possibility of expanding as the nation’s growth reaches an incline. Although something of a truce has settled between the Humans and Mutants to coexist, there is still something of a cold war going on between them. The country is still young and has only been in place for 10 years.
New Alexandria has set up a task force dedicated to locating mutants between national lines, named “The First Echelon”. This team offers newly discovered mutants the opportunity to come to the mutant safe haven. This does, of course, involve rescuing some from mutant injustice where they find it. The view of mutants globally among humans is polarized and it’s up New Alexandria to tip the scales.
What does destiny have in store for mutant-kind?
OOC RP Stuff:Rules for Superhero RPs and RPing in general are literally plastered everywhere. I ain’t gonna restate em here, again unless I absolutely have to. (Knowing me, I’m gonna probably have to add some later anyway. Just keep in mind that, while I want you to have your fun, your characters and their actions have to be able to fit within the story realistically to the world.
There will be dark themes and surely some politics involved in this, but it won’t be overboard. There will be good times to balance out the bad. The amount of characters and world building and all that can be determined as we move along.
Character Sheet: You can kinda go crazy with this, as I am not really a stickler for how the info is presented. It just should at least have these things.
For Better or Worse, Your Character’s actions will have an impact on how the world views mutants.[Image Appearance Here or you may add a description section, or both]
