Deep within the middle of no where in a classified area of the United States lies an academy unknown to most of the world. Its students are nothing like you can ever imagine. They possess qualities no other students in the world will ever possess. TV shows, comics, and movies all portray the idea of having superhuman abilities as a gift. Those who have them are regarded as "heroes" and "villains." In real life, regardless of what damsel in distress you help or what mayor you save, you're a villain. Traces of the X21 gene began surfacing in 1970. Dozens of unexplained occurrences began appearing in the news. Children everywhere were seen doing things no one could exactly explain. The government soon got to the bottom of it. All news being reported on any of these happenings were to be destroyed, all newspapers, any TV reportings... Everything. They didn't understand why certain children could do these extravagant things. They didn't want to understand and they sure didn't want the country to know about these freaks of nature. These children were dangerous. In the sneakiest of ways, most of these kids were annihilated. They made their deaths look like accidents and no one questioned a thing. Those who weren't were taken into labs and experimented on inhumanely to find more about these strange abilities. It was eventually concluded these mutants were not classified as humans and leaving them alive and in public could endanger the human species. It was for the good of society that a secret military force called the X force would be made to quickly find and dispose of these mutants before anyone could find out about their abilities. A select few people felt differently about these mutants. They felt that it was not their fault they had these abilities and could be taught to conceal them and control them. Thus, a secret academy was created in 1990 in an unnamed location in the woodland area. Their goal was to find people with these abilities before the X force did and bring them to their school for protection and to teach them to control and conceal their abilities so that they could safely live their lives in public. They found that the gene was inactive until a mutant's mid-teens at the least. Currently, in 2015, the ages of the students have ranged from 14-24. A student's normal education continues here along with the ability training however a student will remain longer if he or she cannot master his or her ability. Many remain in the school as faculty to ensure a safe life. Those who master their ability and the ability to conceal it are allowed to live on the outside, knowing very well if it was to be used at the wrong place and time that the X force would detect it and come to annihilate them. The X force has some of the best technology in the world available in order to detect mutants. Thankfully, so does the school along with some very special abilities that can be used to track mutants.
However, there are always those who feel they shouldn't have to hide anything... There have been some students lately who feel wronged by the treatment of the government and even this school. They feel that they should be allowed to embrace who they are and use their powers freely and that if society were to know of their existence, they might even be accepted. These ideas tend to spiral down a dark path for some students.
ABILITIES:
These range from mind-oriented abilities to even elemental abilities. What seemed impossible can be possible. Telekinesis, mind-reading, telepathy, even shape-shifting... All suddenly possible. Elemental abilities such as manipulating the fire, the light or the wind are also possible. However, most people need to have the essence at hand to use it and it is not easy to control at all. There have been rare instances of people sprouting wings from their back or other animal-like qualities but these people are often quickly terminated due to being easy to notice. No one knows why this is all possible. The government permitted very limited research as to maintain very little interest in the mutants. The goal is eradication, after all.
RULES:
- NO god-modding
- No arguing
- No speed-posting
- Put some effort in CS and in your IC posts. IC posts at least a paragraph or two. It makes it more fun for everyone.
- Cursing is okay but please if things get too steamy when it comes to romance, cut to black or go to pm
- Stay active... meaning don't just disappear for weeks. Don't join if you're just gonna leave right after. If you're going to be busy for a long time just let me know! :)
- Don't kill someone without their permission.
- I want to limit the ability to one but I might squeeze in someone with two if you convince me the 2nd isn't that strong or if you want to be a villain. I love challenging villains.
- On that note, don't be afraid to make one! An X-force member, related to one, related to a government officer, some rebellious kid who goes rotten... All for it!
