The Story So Far….
We all know the tale of Professor Charles Xavier. To the general public, a soldier, a natural genius with Ph.D.s in Genetics, Biophysics, and Psychology. A man of wealth who started his own school to help gifted youngsters. To mutant kind, he was a visionary, a man to aspire to be like and the creator of the X-Men , a group dedicated to the protection and service of mutant-kind. A man who gave up his life in the pursuit of a dream.

After dying at the hands of Apocalypse during a great battle, Xavier’s school for mutants was taken over by his former student Kitty Pryde. With a different approach, the newly minted Headmistress Pryde re-opened Xavier’s School and is welcoming a new student body, some looking to control their powers, others looking to join a new X-Men team and some…just looking to head off the college.

But what of the old X-Men? With the world at peace, some decided to retire into civilian lives until the day came that they were needed once again. Others stayed on at the institute as instructors and some, just simply vanished into the night.

The Setting
As you can probably guess, this rp is based around the marvelous (get it?) world of the X-Men. That said, this is not a mission based rp, this is more a character driven story that focuses on the world of this young mutants as they struggle to fit in with their new found or hard to control abilities. In this, we’re really getting back to the roots of what the X-Men was all about, exploring our differences and dealing with them with a little help from our friends.

So here’s how it works. This is more open world, free roam than anything else. That said, I was considering doing an episodic type feature where each writer would come up with a plotline or an “episode” that we’d play through in order to keep things fresh and interesting.

This is an OC rp so no characters related to canon’s because that just leads to a mess. Canons, i.e Cyclops, Wolverine etc do exist but they are not currently involved in the rp, so any references to them should only be made in passing and nothing serious unless it’s part of an episode, so in that case either message me or Fox to find out where that particular character is. Timeline wise, the rp is set in the modern era however, the X-Men have been around a lot longer, so characters like Headmistress Pryde are in fact in their thirties, earlier forties depending on the character.

My sheet has been sent in ^_^

YES. I call very specific time travel

So is this actually taking place during Age of Apocalypse, or is Apocalypse just running around being a general douche bag?

No this isn't set during the Age of Apocalypse.

Want to point out really quick before I hop off that (I'm excited to start, hehe, but that's not the point) I'll gladly discuss any pre-existing relationships with Harley and their character(s) via PM, if anyone wants to shoot something by me. Nothing too serious, though, as he's not keen on opening up to anyone unless they get particularly close, and even then it'd take more than a nudge in one direction to convince him that it's safe to take a relationship further.

That is, if I read the opening post correctly. Uh, I have this small inkling that it everyone's maybe a newcomer, possibly, but I don't want to assume anything, so I'll simply ask the question that I should have asked prior to posting this. Has the Institute been open for a short time (year or two) or are our characters the freshest students it currently has? I'll reread the post again to see if my memory hates me or if I missed something.

Yeah, never mind. I doubt you'd have a 'Relationship Status' section in the CS if some of the characters weren't already enrolled for some time. @_@ My offer still stands, then, to discuss any possible pre-existing relationships with Harley.

Yeah, just to quickly answer that for you Six, the school has been open roughly six months to a year. So, if anyone wants pre-existing relationships they can discuss them here
or on PM's.

I'll be updating the roster with codenames and whatnot shortly

Working on a character. I love X-men and Avengers. "Rasputin" is more of a support character with his ability, than an "in your face" combatant.

EDIT: Adrien Timoshenko submitted to Xtreme.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

So, the first IC post is up. Let me fill you guys in on the blanks and what happens next.

The school has been open for about 7 months. The IC begins with the students returning after a short vacation, most of them have been there since the school reopened some others are just arriving (so if you want your character as a new starter you can). Now, every student is currently in the auditorium listening to Headmistress Pryde speak. Don't worry though, just imagine she's speaking when you guys are posting and then once everyone has posted, we'll end the assembly and the real stories can get going.

The X-Men currently don't exist, the faculty have yet to decide which students to recruit for the new team.

I hope the size is okay. As we are just listening to her talk did not have much to say.

I read over everyone's character sheets. I was more concerned with the 17-19 year olds as those are the students, Adrien interacts with and forms close relationships with. I tried to come up with some form of relationships with the characters. If anyone would like to interject with my notes, please do. We can work on relationships for the RP.

Adrien perceives Alucard as arrogant. This perception initially turns him off, but he cannot help possessing a certain child like curiosity of Alucard. He would like to know more about him. Unknown to either Adrien or Alucard, Adrien's blood could kill Alucard and Adrien is unable to heal him. This pairing could make for a certain level of animosity if their blood was to mix. The two are neither friends or enemies. There is a congenial indifference about them.

Sixsmith:

T'was fine :) After everyone gets a post up I'll go ahead and get one up with Kitty's speech.

Harley would be a bit more distant, but I assume they'd still remain pretty good friends, at least in Harley's book. I'm not entirely sure if Harley's powers affect Adrien, seeing as he's healing based and kind of consumes all that bad stuff. It's up to you whether or not it does; I'm fine with either one, within logical reasoning.... for an X-Men RP, that is.

I'm currently working on a post and a possible teacher. But, I've got a possible few errands to run, so it should be a little later in the evening when I get it up.

I mentioned that Danny was a teacher's aid in my CS. I was wondering if he could help teach biology since science and plants are his forte? ^^

Got my post up.

I hope that's alright. ^^ I'll change things if it's needed.

My apologies. I was focusing on the students. Just before I posted, I quickly went back and grabbed some of the faculty. I must have missed Apollo.
