Non-Player Characters
Dr. Malcolm Ashford is a man with a brilliant mind and a kind heart. He is a self made millionaire that has earned his fortune by building one of the world's most successful pharmaceutical companies; Ashford Pharmaceuticals. He is known to be slightly eccentric and very curious when it comes to humanity and evolution. He has been an avid supporter and benefactor of Charles Xavier's for years and over time they have become close friends. It is assumed that Dr. Ashford is a mutant though his powers are unknown and he normally will change the subject when it's brought up. Being a life student of Charles Xavier and a believer in his vision of the world, Malcolm was the perfect choice to become Headmaster of the second official school and safe haven for mutant kind.
Kaylee Everose is the Educational Director for the Ashford Institute for the Gifted, as well as the mathematics and science professor. She is in charge of overseeing the academic growth of all students and acts as second in command at the institute. She is sweet and intelligent, but she takes her business seriously and isn't afraid to show her more fiery side. Professor Everose's mutation gives her the ability to sense other mutant powers through aura detection, and given enough focus she can also use astral projection.
Adam Pierce is the type of man that doesn't smile very often. He is the "Athletics Director" of the institute, which really just means that he's the man in charge of training the gifted students and preparing them to become part of the X-Men. He is strict, harsh, standoffish, and stoic, but he sees the importance of his job and would do anything to protect his dear friends and fellow mutants among the staff; that means protecting the students as well and he does not take that job lightly. His mutation gives him the ability to memorize movements and stances that he observes, which he has used to master literally every known martial art in the world...as well as some unknown to most, even the most skilled and experienced martial artists. He has the heart of a soldier and the mind of a strategist and he holds a high expectation for his students. Let's hope you live up to it, or you'll end up on his bad side and that's not somewhere that you want to be. Mr. Pierce is also the resident advisor (RN) to Summers Hall, which is a part of his job that he hates...and honestly so do most of the male students that live there.
Lawrence Finn would describe himself as an old man that loves old things. He is the History & Geography Professor at the Institute and has the mutant ability to see the stories and memories of things that he touches, and he has one of the most impressive historical/antique collection outside of the Natural History Museum. He's a distraction prone older man that is passionate about history and absolutely despises today's technology. He's slightly off his rocker, but loves his job and hopes to show some of the school's youngsters that just because the past is old doesn't mean it's boring.
Tabby is the bubbly, lovable, goofy, but bloody talented Professor of the Arts in the Institute. She's definitely unconventional as far as teachers go, and is only in her early 20s; making her one of the more relatable and favorable staff members to the students. She is fun loving and creative, and is also the resident advisor to Grey Hall. Her mutation gives her feline like abilities and features. The more she taps into them the more her physical body changes to look the part. She heightened senses and incredibly quick reflexes. Her self appointed code name is "Tabby Cat", and it's easy to see why.
***Many of my NPC students are copies of or have been inspired by PCs from my previous X-Men games. I do not claim ownership of them and use them out of respect and love for those games & characters.***
Nathan's a little...socially awkward. Before coming to the Institute he was raised in an "interesting" family environment; so this will really be his first experience living outside of his childhood home with complete strangers. He suffers from psychological issues and an intense anxiety disorder, but with the proper medication things can be kept under control. His abilities let him channel shadow-like energy in numerous ways; though he is fairly uncomfortable using his powers unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Lilly is a petite sweetheart with a kind heart and a bit of OCD. She possesses x-ray vision, and can see through anything up to one foot in thickness. She is friendly and warm, but does have more of a short fuse than one might expect; especially if something conflicts with how her mind thinks it should be.
Danny likes to keep to himself most of the time if he's not preaching his views on global warming and protecting the environment. If he's in an area where he doesn't know anyone, he'll stay quiet and people will assume he's shy which is not really the case. It takes him awhile to get to know someone and get comfortable around him. He is a powerful chlorokinetic who can grow, animate, and manipulate plant life.
Elijah just sees himself as another person playing the game that life truly is, seeing the lines that connect everything together. Seeing the tropes and stereotypes played out in reality, he find himself assimilating with a few categories that he never expected to mesh together so well. Being a fairly outgoing guy which knits his entire package together on what someone could suspect what would be inside. With his general personality being quite open, he is someone to go for the fun and party that he can get started even if it's just a small group enjoying themselves. He simply just knows how to unwind at the end of the day before settling back down to handle business again at the start of the day. His abilities include unlocking the potential of the mind and an enhanced intuitive aptitude.
Isaac is a tall, cocky guy with the abilities to be...basically invincible. He has super strength, can fly, and can take a bullet like a decent punch. He's not someone that you want to get into a scrap with. Maybe there's more to him...maybe there isn't. If you find out, good for you.
Fleur is Prima Ballerina, tall with a dancer's build. Her personality is pretty much Regina George from Mean Girls. Typical spoiled brat...or does that hide some deeper insecurities...who knows?
