Issue #1: Beginnings
The Ashford Institute for the Gifted: 1st day of class; 3pm
Perhaps you’ve truly never had a home to begin with or maybe you were fortunate enough to have loving parents, friends, a lover, a life before you became one of the “Gifted”. Whatever came before is the past and now you are part of the future; the next step in human evolution. Mutant. That is what they call you, and the Ashford Institute for the Gifted is a place where your kind can live without fear of the world rejecting you. It is a place where you will be protected and taught ways to control your gift...or curse depending on personal preference. You have been accepted into this academy, which you have learned to be the sister school to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters; the home of the X-Men. By you having been selected to come to this institute to train your powers, learn what it means to be a mutant, and to be accepted by others like you, your old life is over and a new one has begun; potentially the life of a future among the X-Men yourself. Are you ready?
You’ve been at the institute now for almost a week. Mostly your time has been taken up by medical exams, physicals, tours, introductions, and the Institute’s orientation. Now that all of those things have wrapped up it’s time for your journey here to truly begin. As your first day's worth of classes end and you’ve been excused to spend the rest of your day as you please, it really dawns on you that this is the beginning of a new life for you. What does the future hold here at your new home? Will you fit in? Will you find comfort in your own skin? Will you make friends with these new acquaintances, find enemies among them, or even fall in love? Will this Institute truly help you become one of the X-Men? Is that even what you want at all? Only you can write that story...and that story begins today.
(As the post states classes for the day have ended. Your characters are free to spend the rest of their day as they please. Feel free to introduce your characters to each other, get to know one another, go to the caf, etc. I will intervene as necessary and utilize NPC's / situations to move the plot forward when appropriate. Keep things moving, create conflict that will be good for the narrative, and have fun. I can't wait to make memories with you all throughout this game xD.)
