X-men: Genosha

[TheUnknowable]

The island of Genosha is a peaceful place, a place of freedom for all sapient life, Mutant, non-mutant, even AI. We work together in peace, doing as we please, as long as we hurt no one else. Our laws are summarized by the old phrase "and harm ye none, do as ye please." As long as no one is hurt, and their rights are not infringed upon, no one cares what you do. The island nation was founded by Former President Magneto as a place where all people, regardless of species or race, could live in peace and freedom.
Not all mutants feel this way, though. "Professor X" and his "X-men" wage war against the humans. X, or Charles Xavier, believes that mutants are the superior beings, that the future belongs to them, and that the human race is holding them back from reaching their full potential. From his base somewhere in the Canadian Rockies (we're not sure exactly where) he sends out teams to attack the humans, to further his goal of a world free from humanity's corruption. These "X-men", people who either joined his cause freely, or were "persuaded" with the use of Xavier's telepathy, are the greatest threat to world peace.
Last month, President Hank McCoy and several prominent civilian leaders signed an agreement with the US and Canada, to assist and train their joint Mutant Crimes Division, under the Jurisdiction of Director Nick Fury, to combat and detain Mutant threats to the people of the US and Canada.

In this RP Magneto is the good guy, and Xavier is the bad guy. The X-men generally consist of the standard ones, though many mutants chose to come to him of their own free will in order to fight back against the humans they hate. Genosha has a small military force which is generally only used to protect the people of Genosha, but because of the agreement it has sent it's best warriors to a base in NY to aid the MCD. Further security for the island is done by private security forces.

Sample CS:
Name: Christopher LeBeau
Code Name: Xerox
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Race: Mutant
Family: Remy LeBeau (Gambit): Father, Anna Marie (Rouge): Mother
Powers: Power Copying (Copies a mutant's abilities/mutation. Can currently only hold the mutations of three mutants at a time. As a power set is used, it becomes depleted, weakening it. With time, energy, and concentration he can "recharge" a power set, but if it becomes completely depleted, it can't be recharged, and must be reacquired. Doesn't copy memories, so he must learn to use power set individually. Currently carries a copy of his father's mutation only.)
Special Abilities: Martial Arts
Personality: Tries to adapt to any situation
History: Born with the help of power-suppression collar technology, and raised in New Orleans, he grew up relatively normally, not acquiring his powers until he was 16. With his mother's help he learned to use his abilities, and he continued to live at his father's Lucky Hand Casino until he was 19. Shortly after that, his mother was abducted, and he left home to find her. Several years later, when he learned that she had been taken by the terrorist organization "The X-Men", he knew he couldn't get her back on his own. He went to Genosha to try to find help.
Other: Likes to cook.

[Draconis Nevyn]

Interested.

[TheUnknowable]

good to know.

Also, I forgot to add Code name to the CS. It's there now, though.

[Draconis Nevyn]

I'll have a think, I've had a few ideas in mind for a while. Mainly a golden-aura'd Telekinetic and someone else with either a similar ability or completely different, not sure about the rest of the character though :P

Telekinesis (Golden aura)
Thermal Manipulation
Energy Absorption
or Power Negation.

[TheUnknowable]

Just make it Zero-range TK and you're basically a DBZ character with the golden aura.

[Draconis Nevyn]

Haha, I had that thought myself. But I was more thinking along the lines of a less powerful Hellion.

that would work.

[Draconis Nevyn]

Aye, I had hoped so and then possibly someone with something else.

[Quincyhunter]

I am interested. Though I must ask was weapon X continued past Logan in this universe. I had considered going with something connected with them.

[TheUnknowable]

I haven't decided that yet. Maybe Striker convinced them to continue it by stealing criminal mutant powers to make people like Deadpool, as until Genosha and the MCD it was their best chance to stop the Professor.

[Draconis Nevyn]

It's possible he did, I mean someone like Deadpool could be one of the few people actually able to take on Xavier and his group. The man's hard to predict and I can't imagine he's easy to subdue with telepathy even with the power Xavier holds. So in a way, if Striker used this information it's possible the funding could have been continued.

[TheUnknowable]

I wonder if Deadpool's insanity would act as a natural defense against Xavier's telepathy, the way Rouge's "fragments from multiple minds" things works to keep them from messing with her memories? I'm sure Cyclops couldn't do much against him, but Wolverine or Jean could slow him down or "Phoenix" could destroy him.
(I was thinking of having "Phoenix" as a kind of sleeper agent the Professor caged inside Jean, with it as an ally or a slave, or maybe something of both. Maybe he has to use Cerebro to put it back in the cage, so he only lets it out for the most important missions.)

[Quincyhunter]

IF you will allow me to use the Weapon X program I was interested in it turning out he had his own gift that was activated by their modifications. They gave him sound manipulation but ended up activating his latent ability for dectecting mutants.

[KiraTheRogue]

Interested!!! I love the idea

Interesting. Go ahead.
So he essentially got a secondary mutation from their experiments, something they didn't intend for him to get, that wasn't a part of the DNA they gave him?

I've been wanting to make a Mutant Carrier (someone who isn't a mutant but can have mutant children). Something would happen that turned on the inactive mutant gene (adjusting this to the particular way the x-gene works) and he would get highly unstable powers. Maybe they would change, maybe their strength would fluctuate. Maybe I can use it as a secondary on something, or as my primary on a different RP.

Kira: Nice. What kind of character were you wanting to use?

[KiraTheRogue]

I thought of an offspring of Jean Grey and Cyclops

[TheUnknowable]

That will work as long as you've got a reason why Xavier captured your parents, but you were safe. In my case, we were too far from him for him to learn about us until I was 19.
Might be a good reason for you to join up with a guy who wants to form a team to take on the X-men. I'm rescuing my character's mom, maybe you can rescue your mom too.

[Soul]

I'm interested in playing a teenager who has been bonded with Venom since toddler age.

[TheUnknowable]

Why would Venom bond to a toddler?
Other than that, I don't have a problem with it.
