Inspired by watching a video on the Marvel animated feature [i]Next Avengers[/i], [b]the premise for this RP is an team made up of children of the X-Men[/b] (beyond that, my intention is [b][i]not[/i][/b] to reflect [i]Next Avengers[/i] i.e. parents have not all been killed; plot will [b][i]not[/i][/b] be a riff off of the animated feature's).

The children should be teenagers at the point of RP, but you may flashback to depict earlier points in their lives. 

[b]This is intended to be an OC-centric RP[/b], with the canon world largely reference-only. That being said, players may choose to field their character's canon-parents as NPCs for more depth if they want to, or I as GM may field them in the rare and temporary instances where the plot makes more sense to have them involved.

[b][i]Both[/i] parents don't need to have been X-Men.[/b] The other could be another mutant or a non-mutant (or another powered person if we want to cross this with other Marvel or even DC properties: [i]child of Batman and Mystique, anyone? Carol Danvers x Scott Summers?[/i])


That out of the way, I'll be playing 2 characters, though I thought of another 
[b]2 characters up-for-grabs* if they speak to you, otherwise I'm looking forward to seeing your OCs! [/b]

[right]*[i](if more than one player is interested in the same character, 
I may go first-come first-served, or PM each player to see what they 
may have in mind for the character and lock it down based on that).[/i][/right]

I'm also game for half-siblings if you have an idea involving one of the parents already listed. 
Just talk it out with whoever is playing that character's kid to agree on the story there.
An open relationship? A previous relationship? Or something more. . 
. .[i]Sinister[/i].

So without further ado:

[b][u]The Plot[/u][/b]
[i]They could be the 2nd Gen of X-Men[/i] - right now they're just teenagers living life in the X Mansion.
Until a stumble across some private files reveals a truth about their lives has been kept hidden from them.
The files only tell part of the story, and it's their turn to keep a secret as they embark on a journey to discover the rest. 
What they don't know is all points on their path have been carefully orchestrated by
someone [i]playing the long game.[/i]

[hider=The Truth][i]Several[/i], though [i]not all[/i], of the 2nd Gen X-Men didn't come into this world the way they've thought.
While the individuals who they know to be their parents [i]may[/i] still well be, scientific shenanigans were involved.

The specifics of this history will be player's choice [i](straight up stolen DNA grown in a lab; DNA injected into a host; naturally conceived baby stolen to have additional super DNA incorporated into their bloodstream, etc.)[/i]

In any case, the children were discovered / recovered by the X-Men and raised, as far as the children have known, like nothing unusual has surrounded their existence. Though ever since, the X-Men have included specific DNA analysis in annual check-ups to ensure the children remain stable and there are no surprises. 

It's this data (though not the "full" truth to which it pertains) that the teenagers happen on.

What [i]no one[/i] is aware of, is the scientist responsible for the shenanigans in the first place, has remained involved...a [i]trusted[/i] old friend of Professor Charles Xavier, who has been involved in the DNA analysis all this time, and has been [i]allowing[/i] the X-Men to raise these "scientific experiments" until this point when the next stage of their plan can be engaged: lead the children into an emotional and physical testing ground, to further study them for a much bigger plot. They're interested in both the children who they had a scientific hand in, a.k.a. "the experiments" and those they didn't, the "non experiments", with [i]one[/i] in particular being their most [i]prized subject[/i].[/hider]

[b][u]The Characters[/u][/b]

[b][i]In Play[/i][/b] 
[i](to be updated as applications are approved)[/i]
[hider=Perxephone Grey-Summers a.k.a. "Mind's Eye"]
[color=#F88379][b]Age:[/b] 16
[b]Child Of:[/b] Jean Grey and Cyclops

[b]Mutation:[/b] Perxephone was born without eyes. Only perfectly formed empty sockets.
This has lead to a unique form of telekinesis which activated during her first few months -her brain regularly sending out waves that "feel" her surroundings, and interprets that input to create a schematic in her head.

Think of a blueprint, but instead of white lines on blue paper it's green lines on black. She can "see" the size of a room, the furniture etc. people; her parents -all in general outline. 

Besides her lack of eyes, Perxephone also has an unusually more pink/reddish skin tone.

[b]Personality Section 1:[/b] A thinker like Scott, and a "connecter" like Jean, you could say Xephie is equal parts logic and feeling. Any temper-genes from her parents seem to have skipped her. She is not self-conscious about her mutation, but to not draw unwanted attention while out in mixed-public, she'll generally wear a pair of glasses not unlike her Dad's, except with regular lenses (bearing a green tint) instead of ruby quartz.

[b]Personality Section 2:[/b] "Whatever it is will make no difference to my life."[/color]
[/hider][hider=William "Liam" McCoy a.k.a. "Sensus"]
[color=#40B5AD][b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Child Of[/b]: The Beast and Carly.

[b]Mutation:[/b] Heightened senses that are more of a challenge than a superpower.
[u]Sight:[/u] The first time Liam opened his eyes, the lights of the room caused damage to them, rendering him legally blind. He does have residual sight but must wear dark glasses to save it. Remarkably he has a higher degree of vision in environments nearly devoid of light, which Beast reasons is the result of Liam's mutation continuing / compensating for the damage.
[u]Touch:[/u] This sensitivity is akin to the medical condition allodynia, though it varies across Liam's body with his hands being the most sensitive, requiring him most of the time to wear gloves specially manufactured by Beast to be comfortable, protective, yet functional. 
[u]Hearing:[/u] Not quite at the level of his sight as the first loud noises Liam heard didn't deafen him, they did cause him severe pain. Where people generally would experience damage to their hearing if they heard something at a high enough decibel level over [i]prolonged periods of time[/i], Liam would experience damage [i]much[/i] sooner, if not for some more Beast-brand protective gear in the form of "reverse hearing aids"; allowing Liam to hear [i]less[/i] than he naturally would.
[u]Smell:[/u] While Liam has the typical amount of sensory receptor sites, it's as if they're working at 200%; he doesn't take in [i]more[/i] scents, he just takes them in to a more [i]concentrated[/i] degree. Fortunately as he's grown up, Liam has learned to "filter" the scents around him as one might a cacophony of conversation, though he can still become overwhelmed by particularly strong scents and if he tries to "hone in", say to try scent-tracking, he can't manage it long enough to be useful.
[u]Taste:[/u] As you can imagine, this is also more concentrated. He might "go wild" when bored and actually season his food.

[b]Personality Section 1:[/b] In contrast to his physical sensitivities, Liam's emotionally pretty tough. Not coming off as vulnerable unless he's at a particular point of fatigue.

[b]Personality Section 2:[/b] "What if it changes everything? I'd rather stick to the truth I've known."
[/color][/hider][hider=Marcelina Wagner a.k.a. "Splinter"]
[color=#BF40BF][b]Age:[/b] 16
[b]Child Of:[/b] Nightcrawler x Unknown

[b]Mutation:[/b] Similar to Nightcrawler, except for a few additions, other than her purple skin rather than Indigo:
[list]
[*]Teleportation: Splinter can instantly transport herself from one location to another, though with a shorter range than her alleged father.
[*]Enhanced Agility, Flexibility, and Night Vision: She is able move gracefully and see in the dark.
[*]Prehensile Tail: She has the capability of using her tail as another hand, which can be useful, or a problem due to her bad habit of taking was is not hers.
[*]Ability to Cling to Surfaces: Her adhesive hands and feet help her stick to walls and ceilings without much issue.
[*]Energy Manipulation: Splinter can generate several needles of energy which can be used as projectiles, due to her lack of control over them, she cannot create any projectile larger than a pen without causing severe exhaustion to her body, hence her mutant name as "Splinter". This also allows her to deflect energy used against her, not without harm, but making it at the very least non-lethal.[/list]
[b]Personality 1:[/b] A cheerful yet erratic girl with kleptomaniac tendencies, getting her in trouble often despite the fact that she is aware of her issue, and returns the items she has taken after a while, unless it was food, in which case, she most likely devoured it under her bed's covers. Overall she tries to look at things positively.

[b]Personality 2:[/b] "I trust my parents. They must've had a good reason."
[/color][/hider][hider=Maxmillian Dorna AKA Lifeblood][color=#A7C7E7]
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Child Of:[/b] Polaris X Mundane (DNA Unknown)

[b]Mutation:[/b] 
[b]Magnetism[/b]
Like his mother, Max is able to manipulate the metals that require magnetism. His magnetism is a lot stronger than his mother, so he has to be careful how he uses it. Not only that, but his sight is [b]only[/b] in the fields of magnetism and electric energy. He wears tinted glasses to see properly. His mother tried to get him to learn flight with his powers, but he now has a deep seeded fear of heights since a young age.

His toxin intake has seemed to be even stronger than his mother's, able to withstand most if not all of the worlds diseases. Though, he cannot create his own disease.

[b]Ice[/b]
Max at some point early on, along with his magnetism, developed ice abilities. As a result, his natural body temperature has dropped and he is able to manipulate the water vapors in the air to instantly freeze solid and form any unbreakable object, and only breaks when he wishes. He can form slides (instead of flying) and can to a degree, manipulate the water inside people's body. 

Using both his magnetism and ice at the same time, seems to heighten and strengthen his magnetism to an insane degree.. So much so, he will one day be classified as an Omega-Level Mutant.

[b]Personality Section 1:[/b] 
Max is more timid than confident than his mother. He doesn't like to stand out at all and tries to keep to himself if he can. Early on harming of people made him more weary to be around people, thus is is what one would call socially awkward.

[hider=Milele Munroe] 
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[b]Child Of:[/b] Storm and Wolverine.

[b]Mutation:[/b] Environmental Healing. 
Essentially they can heal damage done to flora on a cellular level. Cure trees of diseases, heal burned foliage etc.

[b]Personality 1:[/b] They're like night and day depending where you find them; in nature or in a city that chokes it.

[*]Other[/list][/hider][hider="Amplifique"] 
[b]Age:[/b] Player's Choice.
[b]Child Of:[/b] Gambit and Rogue

[b]Mutation:[/b] As their Dad can put energy into objects, and their Mom can take energy and powers, Amplifique has the ability to [i]give[/i] energy to people via a touch. 
Essentially a booster, though not like Cortez as Amplifique boosts basic energy/strength not powers, and then, not to superhuman levels. They just "top you up", allowing your muscles, say, to work at their peak condition for a length of time, or for you to go from down n' out to feeling like you've had a good night's sleep and optimal nutrition. However, because they [i]are[/i] Gambit's kid, they [i]can[/i] boost too much and cause you to [s]explode[/s] have a heart attack. So like Rogue, best to avoid touching someone for too long. 
Their control also fluctuate with their own condition i.e. when healthy they can touch you without boosting you if they/you don't want. 
When stressed or tired they might boost at any touch, whether meaning to or not.
