[OOC] Xmen: Mutant Liberation Army

[TheUnknowable]

A wall exploded, taking one of the guards of the internment camp with it and starting a firefight with the others. A minute later, after flashes of energy, various powers, and many bullets were exchanged the smoke and dust cleared and the mutants who were being kept there were gathered in the central courtyard, their power-suppressing collars removed as they entered the area. A man in what appeared to be technologically enhance body armor stepped onto the porch of one of the guard buildings.

"Greetings, my fellow Mutants." he said, his voice amplified by a Speaker collar around his neck. "I am Corona. I have come to liberate you from your captivity. Maybe you've heard of me, maybe you haven't, but I'm sure you've heard stories of my parents, Cyclops and Jean Grey." True, they weren't his real parents, he was merely raised by them from the age of eight, years after his father died, but if he told them that his real parents were Cyclop's brother and some random normie, the story wouldn't have near the impact he was hoping for. "They lived in a much better time, one in which most normies at least tolerated mutants. My parents thought they they could learn to accept us, at least as equals, despite our superiority. They were wrong. Instead, the Normies hunted us down and threw us in camps. They made us the enemy, because they require fear. They feed on it to keep their society together. WE DO NOT. We live on hope, and on our own strength, learning to harness our will to feed our abilities. That is why they fear us. Those who wish to live as sheep, with their politicians as shepherds, will always fear the wild animals who live in freedom."

"I now offer you a choice. You can either come with us, and help free our mutant brothers and sisters from tyrants who would enslave them for merely existing, or you can leave, and try and make your way in a world run by those that hate and fear you. The choice is yours."

With that he flipped a switch on the side of the speaker collar and went to talk to his soldiers, who were now gathering up everything of value in the camp to either keep or give to those who wished to leave, so that they would at least have a chance.

---

I've seen a lot of Xmen stories centered around us being the Xmen or a future version of them. I've never seen one where we were a future version of the Brotherhood, though, so I thought I'd start one. That way we can be actual Mutant Terrorists instead of just being labeled as such.

I want at least one Co-GM, as I'm running two other RPs now. This will take place in a world similar to that of the show "The Gifted", where it technically isn't illegal to be a mutant, but if you commit even the smallest crime, accident or not, they will treat you like a hardened criminal and a terrorist. In this world Sentinel Services rounds up "terrorists" and puts them in prison camps, not caring who they are or how old they are.

You can play as a prisoner or a member of the assault team. I would like to have a teleporter to get us in and out, but that isn't necessary if no one wants to play one. I can easily give Blink a child that works for us if I need one for some reason.

Sample CS

Kyle Summers / Corona

Powers: Plasma generation and manipulation: He can create a field of plasma around himself, then focus it to shield against energy or physical attacks (works better against energy), act as a torch to cut through obstacles, or form a ball which can be launched as a plasma projectile comparable in power to a light tank.

Skills: His Aunt and Uncle insisted that he finish high school, and he found he had an interest in science, especially concerning plasma. Dr. McCoy taught him about technology so that he could build devices to control plasma, and together they built a fusion reactor. He was also trained to fight as one of the Xmen, though he never joined them before Sentinel Services declared them a terrorist organization and hunted them down.

Personality: He doesn't trust Normies until they've proven themselves a friend of mutants. While he will help out a fellow mutant in need, he believes that people should fight their own battles if they can. He also believes that everyone should take responsibility for their own actions, and won't protect you from your own stupidity.

Biography: He never knew his biological father, Alex Summers. His mom didn't really deal with Alex much after she got pregnant, and he died when Kyle was three. For the next three years she tried to raise him on her own, but after a string of abusive boyfriends, one of which found out Kyle was a mutant when he started glowing one night and beat him for it, Kyle was taken away by social services and given to his Uncle and Aunt to raise. They were mutants, after all, and DFCS thought he should be with his own kind.
He grew up at the school, hearing more and more stories as time went one about how Humans were treating Mutants worse and worse. When he grew up, however, he left the school and tried to go to college, but after one too many anti-mutant racists attacked him and he almost burnt down the dorm rooms, he was kicked out of college, barely avoiding Arson charges. He returned home to find that a month earlier Sentinel Services had taken out the "terrorist organization" that was "using it as a base, recruitment, indoctrination, and training facility."
He decided that if they were going to treat even friendly mutants like the Xmen as terrorists, he was going to give them terrorists to fight. He used an escape tunnel to get into Dr. McCoy's hidden lab and build himself a suit which would focus his plasma aura into a nearly invisible force field and started the Mutant Liberation Army, returning to the mansion a month later to remove anything of value that the MLA might need. His group began fighting back against the SS Oppressors.

Equipment: shield suit (can make one based on your powers if you generate a compatible energy type), plasma beam rifle (converts his plasma cutter into a beam for long range, but fairly weak, attacks), speaker collar (for giving speeches), Smart phone (unregistered)

Not done but it's late and need sleepage. PM any issues admin guy!

Kaze

Name: Kaze

Alias: Bahamut

Gender: Male

Age: N/A

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Powers: Dragon's Blood

• Armored Body: The scales and plates lining his body, while flexible, are as hard as steel. The muscle underneath is just as hard making it hard for normal people and weaker mutants to actually physically harm him.
• Bestial Strength: Even before he changed he was a strong being. His powers enhanced his strength multiple times over, giving him the ability to throw vehicles and plow through concrete walls.
• Animal Sense: Like any animal he has an exceptional sense of smell and hearing. His touch and taste however have been reduced while his sight is largely unchanged.
• Reptilian Healing: Like most reptiles and amphibians his healing is enhanced compared to your typical person. A months worth of healing done in a week, a weeks worth in a couple days, a days worth in minutes. He can still be killed from sustained damage but it's much harder.
• Corrosive Blood: His blood is oddly corrosive. Like a mild acid. He figured his powers took after dungeons and dragons, what with the black ones being acidic based. It burns but it's not going to melt you alive unless you fill a tub and jump in.
• Permanent: Once he changed he never could get back to his human form. Much like Beast from the X-Men, except he didn't science himself that way. It's just how he is and now it's impossible to hide in plain sight.
• Heavy Body: He's roughly a ton, two thousand pounds, which means unless he's dropped from high up he's incapable of flight. Merely power jumps and gliding.

Skills:

• Melee Combat Expert: He's at home up front and personal. Give him a weapon, literally any melee weapon, and he'll put it to good use. Smashing skulls, walls, vehicles, or using it as a shield.
• Hand to Hand: He's never truly unarmed, given his claws and tail, so he learned the best way to utilize them. He's exceptional in hand to hand combat, his animalistic movements making it hard for others to predict his next attack.
• Smith: He enjoys making weapons and he's damn good at it. He's dabbled in armor but the most he can really do are simple things like breastplates and shields.
• Demolitions: He knows where and how to hit a building to get it to come tumbling down. The joys of creating is you can figure out how to destroy much easier.

Personality: Kaze is very gruff when first met with. He has a very no nonsense attitude most of the time and has little to no problems speaking his mind. He'd also be considered insane considering his love for charging face first into combat. Although if he considers you a friend or ally he'll rip apart everything in his way to help if it's in his power to do so. Like dragons of lore he's incredibly possessive and will get murderous if you take anything deemed his. This includes people.

Biography:
Kaze honestly doesn't remember much of his past. Mostly by choice since nothing important really happened. He had been human, and then he had changed. Unlike other mutants he had never been able to hide in plain sight, so he hid out in the wilderness. During that time he had learned what he could about his own capabilities and promptly murdered any normal human that discovered him. The damage relatable to bears. So it was rarely investigated.

Well you could only mess around in nature for so long before you get bored. So he snagged one of those fancy new phones people always went on about. He wasn't stupid he just chose to live in the woods. During his little research time he found out how to make basic forges and how to make medieval arms and armor. Which he went about doing by stealing the stuff needed in the night. Specifically from scrapyards because the dogs cowered from him instead of trying to actually defend the property.

Of course stealing from the military, even decommissioned gear, was a bad move. He was finally discovered, apprehended, and imprisoned. Which was a bit of a bitch even with their sentinels given that he could chuck his hammer like a pro and knew the forest like the back of his hand. When he was imprisoned it was a hassle to keep him there too, he had numerous escape attempts under his belt. So now he is wrapped up in metal bands, muzzled, and chained to the point he can't even flex a muscle. He's forced to eat through a straw since no one really dares to try to unmuzzle him just in case he gets violent again.

Equipment:

• God Striker: A massive maul made of steel he made. It's unsurprisingly in the shape of a fist and one has to be of similar strength and height to not go flying with each swing.
• Ragnarok: An axe built much like his maul. Huge and designed to be wielded by him or those of similar strength and size. It's actually made from the plate off of a tank.
• Aegis: A shield made from a decommissioned tank. Steel and titanium roughly three inches thick, wide and tall enough even he can be fully behind it.

Other: Like reptiles he hates the cold. It'll either make him hibernate or just flat kill him if it's cold enough. He's also very tall, standing at almost nine feet in height.

[TheUnknowable]

@ShardOther than the fact that he's connected to the Brotherhood, the organization which inspired Corona, not the MLA, I love it. Approved.
@WindsOfFateI'd like more details on the limits of his powers, mainly to make sure he isn't OP.
@KazemitsuNice so far.

[TheUnknowable]

@ShardQuick question. Is he actually related to Sabertooth or is the name a coincidence? Even if he isn't, a little white lie about his lineage might help with the publicity.

@TheUnknowable

Ok!

[Shard]

@TheUnknowable Oh, his name was just a coincidence! xD

I am fine with him being a distant relative to Sabertooth, though.

@WindsOfFate Out of curiosity, how does Jaden go about summoning undead? Given how undeath and necromancy is the entirety of Aiden's powers, I can't help but ask. A high tolerance for pain is also added, without explanation.

The reason why I am poking you, is because you've given your character a myriad of powers, whereas in you have swept up many of my skills, and powers, in passing.

Don't worry Jade's sheet has been removed and is being edited.

Jade's New Sheet

Jade Strange

Name: Jade Riley Strange

Alias: Heka

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Brotherhood

Age: 25

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Powers: Magic: Jade can tap into the raw unhindered power of the universe. This arcane energy allows him to perform a variety of things. He wields it effortlessly, calling upon his inner mana and that of the world to bring about changes. He can fire bolts of devastating energy, teleport groups of people or himself vast distances, create force fields, and levitate. By speaking spells, or harnessing incantations through movement, Jade can call upon the assistance of deities offensively or defensively.

Jade can also empower others using mystic markings. By placing a symbol onto the skin of the target, he can increase their power as long as he is conscious. The symbol usually burns into the flesh of the target and causes great pain, but the increase in power is two times the normal strength. He canNOT perform this on himself, and must be within 40 feet of the target constantly for the boost to work.

He must be careful when performing spells and incantations as there is always a cost when calling upon a supreme force. Performing high level spells drains his inner mana, which could force him into unconsciousness and cause physical damage. Calling upon the assistance of powerful beings normally requires a blood oath, or allegiance of some sort.

Skills:
-Jade knows how to defend himself.
-He knows how to read and write various languages due to studying ancient spellbooks.
-Jade can sing, though he chooses not to in front of others.
-He’s an avid reader, and loves researching.
-He loves nature, taking long walks through the remaining forests whenever he gets a chance.
-He is a great archer, and his accuracy is precise.

Personality: Jade may seem cold and condescending, but he means well. It is his way of not getting close to anyone. He has seen so much death in his life. As such, he tends to stay away from building any type of friendship/relationship, not wanting to garner any feelings for them. He is stern and can be slightly stubborn. He is able to keep his emotions in check even in the face of adversity. He can wear a blank expression, thus surprising him usually backfires. He believes in liberation, he believes in freedom.

Relationships? Jade tends to shy away from them. He has actually never dated anyone. He fears that love blinds the senses and causes people to act strangely. Perhaps he has never met the one to bring him into that mindset, but for now, he puts his work first.

Biography: Jade is the descendant of Doctor Stephen Strange. He grew up with knowledge of Doctor Strange, though his parents seemed to want to protect him from that part of their lives. Jade grew up having to learn what his developing powers meant. Although his parents tried to shield it from him, Jade found every excuse to learn magic and develop his power.

Aside from living as normal a life as he could, given the circumstances, Jade grew anxious. He wanted to learn, he wanted to know more about his lineage and he dove deeper into the world of magic. Eventually, he was able to contact Doctor Strange who trained him fully. He could not deny that Jade had an aptitude for wielding arcane energy. He seemed in tune with the magical energy that flowed around him. Doctor Strange was indeed happy to know of their kinship and had no issue training him in the ways of sorcery. Throughout his teens, he was taught and Doctor Strange eventually finished his teachings on his 18th birthday.

Though he still seeks knowledge, Doctor Strange returned to his duties fully, leaving Jade to further his learning in different ways. Jade took on the name Heka, a name that means a lot to him. It translates to magic in Egyptian. Jade’s life wasn’t all roses and sunshine. He did not go unnoticed by the sentinel services, and after an attack on his home, he was forced to leave. He joined the Brotherhood because he realizes that their goals were similar to his own. Eventually, he was approached by Corona who requested his assistance. He gladly accepted.

Equipment: Jade's enchanted clothing is sentient and resistant to the elements and bullets. His garbs can extend, retract, and sharpen to the point that they can cut through stone and parry other weapons. Aside from his enchanted clothes, he has a beautiful butterfly staff. The staff is about six feet in length and the tip has a beautiful sapphire stone that levitates above the end of the staff while spectral butterfly wings extend on other side of the sapphire gem.

Other: Jade's magic takes the form of butterflies, beautiful rainbow-hued butterflies.

[TheUnknowable]

@WindsOfFateSays he is affiliated with the Brotherhood, not the MLA, but other than that it's approved.

[Shard]

@TheUnknowable I fixed that, by the way. I mixed shizz up, yesterday.

[WindsOfFate]

@WindsOfFateSays he is affiliated with the Brotherhood, not the MLA, but other than that it's approved.

@TheUnknowable

I put his affiliation as the M.L.A. Is the butterfly magic okay? It's because of his love for nature that his magic takes this form. I hope that's okay.

@ShardWas there something, in particular, you were worried about regarding Jade?

[Shard]

I might actually throw together another character, instead. I'll think on it.

[TheUnknowable]

@WindsOfFateSure, butterflies are just an aesthetic change.

[Shard]

@WindsOfFate I put down everything I noted, but you seem to have dealt with all of it.

[WindsOfFate]

@WindsOfFate I put down everything I noted, but you seem to have dealt with all of it.

@Shard

Awesome. I have to say that your sig is adorable. I saw the short film and it touched me so much. :) Being a homosexual man I could totally relate to that individual who your heart says go for but you're too scared and nervous about what other people will think. Love it. Sorry for going off on that tangent but I felt I should let you know. Guess I'll do it through PM next time.

[Shard]

@WindsOfFate Hah, all good. It touched me all the same, cry every time.

[Goliah]

Hi, putting my hand up as interested. I was thinking a teleporter currently held prisoner and placed in solitary confinement, due to the limits of her teleportation being line of sight or a place she can see live on screen (so a Skype call or something).

[Shard]

@Goliah Think that's called Blinking. Sounds cool.

Zombie assault, and breakout noted.

By the way, @TheUnknowable, you mentioned that you wanted co-gms. I can help out, if you want.

[ReusableSword]

Also interested. Considering time constraints between this and other things. Would be playing with kenetic conversion / main ability energy sharring basicly... or something like that.
