So... What kind of purpose would a Human play in an X-men RP? I mean, isn't the whole point of the X-Men being a team of mutants that fight for both humanity and mutant kind?

And I can appreciate the whole school aspect of this, but surely saying "Only accepting humans at the moment" is essentially saying "Sure you can join. You'll be at an extreme disadvantage, but go ahead." I would like to join this, but the fact that my character will be one of the only ones without powers can't help but make me feel completely redundant. I mean, if a fight breaks out, I have to go hide in the corner, rather than getting the chance to develop my character. If everyone goes on an X-Man mission, I have to stay behind and twiddle my thumbs, again, missing out on character development.

Before I join, I need to know that I am not just going to serve as a 5th wheel, because all I would accomplish is taking valuable time away from other characters in order to develop a character that serves no purpose in the first place. Which is not fair on me, and not fair on the people who's time I wasted developing said superfluous character.

I hate to bring this up, but this exact thing has happened to me before in a Pokemon RP, where the whole thing devolved into: "Show up to town, everyone goes off talking and developing their character. I try to develop my character, but nobody seems to give a shit. PVP action breaks out, everyone has a team of legendaries, whereas I am left with 4 low leveled pokemon and so am not allowed to stand a chance. Every time I ask if there is a chance I can get a legendary and allowed to be relevant to the plot, I am met with "I'm afraid that every legendary in this province has been dibs'd by different members of the team. You'll have to wait until we go to the next one."

Right, rant over. Sorry to sound like a dick, but I just don't want to go through the effort of making a character, only to find out that I am not allowed to be relevant to any plot, due to my extreme underpoweredness.

@RoyzookaYou got a knot flying towards Christi. She can make that patented knot chow mane. Shoot some sass or attitude towards Raylan for not introduing himself when he was asking, and calling Christi Tats.

@mattmanganon
I'm not a Cogm of the sorts. That being said, I don't think that would be an issue. I get why and understand why feel you that way. It would suck to go through all that only to play second fiddle. Still, I don't think it would be an issue.

You know you can trust my judgement when I say the something twice and give all of no evidence to support my argument.

@mattmanganon apology accepted mate. I don't think that having a human as a character would prevent character development at all. You can choose to make your character a member/former member of the military or FBI, thus being skilled in combat and firearms or explosives. He or she would also not be the only human character as there maybe be 2 other humans joining you. They could assist in training the other students in combat and firearms. Another thing is that eventually I will most likely be accepting mutants again and your character could develop their powers if you wanted to. I understand that you have had some shitty luck in the past and I feel for you but in this thread your character is only as weak and underdeveloped as your imagination and you cannot blame anyone for your character's lack of progression if they had no skills to begin with. Again, YOUR CHARACTER'S PROGRESSION IS LIMITED BY YOUR OWN IMAGINATION, IF YOU MAKE THEM OUT TO BE A NORMAL JOE THEN THEY MAY NOT MAKE THE KIND OF PROGRESS YOU WANT TO SEE AND IT IS UNFAIR OF YOU TO BLAME IT ON ANYONE ELSE WHEN IT WAS YOUR FAULT TO BEGIN WITH. If I see your character being ignored then I will step up and interact with them or have someone else do it if I cannot.

I don't believe that being human will give you a disadvantage in the slightest and I think that is very narrow minded of you to think that. While it is true that the X-MEN mainly focus on the mutants, it has already been clearly expressed that normal humans are in fact capable of working alongside the X-MEN and not be hindered by their lack of powers. You don't even have to be a good guy if you don't want to, you can be an Equalist if that tickles your fancy. I am more than willing to assist you with coming up with something but whether you choose to join or not is up to you

Hey guys, I think I'm going to have to withdraw from this RP. I'm sorry, but I've just kind of lost interest. :( I wish you all the best of luck, though.
