X-men style RP Interest check
by Sunwolf007 Fri Feb 11, 2011 11:23 pm
General Rules
You can’t use an X-men character but you can create a character that uses similar abilities. I don’t know everything about the marvel universe so this doesn’t really tie in with it. You can reference people like meeting them in the past but no marvel character will appear in this RP. Plus no impervious mutants, you must have a weak point. Other than that you can make up any type of power you like or copy one from your favorite super hero. This RP will be taking place in the Malone Institute for Higher Learning. Malone runs the school along with a few other teachers. The school is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has a reputation of being one of the best schools for mutants. Mutations manifest at the start of puberty which is 10 years of age for girls and 12 years of age for boys. Some mutations keep growing in power while others only manifest and stay constant in power.
The story
The United States Government realized that with the increasing mutant population a separate schooling system as necessary. Violence against mutants was at an all time high before the Xavier Academy Initiative. Academy schools were set up in large cities across the US. This increased the racism between mutants and non-mutants but stopped the violence in the schools. About 7 years after the XAI congress began debates on a Mutant Registration Act. This act would make public all the abilities and identities of the students at the Mutant Academes.
The debates in congress kicked off a new surge of riots throughout the US. This debate split the mutant and non-mutant communities into groups who supported the act and those who didn’t. Due to the riots and protests congress was in a deadlock on the issue. They tabled the discussions for a few months. It goes without saying that any major event could push the MRA back on the table. Any mutant must be careful to not start any aggressive riot otherwise the passage of the MRA is guaranteed. In response to the ever increasing violence the President created Omega X. It is a covert organization that was created to ‘remove’ the mutant threat. They have finally created their first weapon, the Sentinels. They are continuing research on other ways of dealing with the ‘mutant threat’.
In an effort to help decrease the violence in the protests on mutant campuses groups of trained mutants were needed to regulate students. These groups were designed to defend against chance of the passage of the MRA. Defender groups were initiated at the beginning of the new school year. These ‘Defenders’ are to break up fights on campus or riots in the city. Their main job is to deal with any incident related to mutants in their city. They have been given jurisdiction in mutant related cases by the government.
Recently a few students lead by Richard “Air” Smith have started causing trouble because of the fact that if more riots occur the Legislation will pass. These students believe, like many others across the nation, that if the legislation is passed it is an important recognition of Mutant rights and an important distinction as a minority group.
Owen “Aura” Harold believes that if the legislation passes it is the first step in discrimination of mutants which would cause more civil unrest. He has been chosen to lead the Defender group and recruit members from the school.
A few days ago Government agents arrived to monitor the situation at the school. They have psiblockers and telepathy has no effect on them. There are more guards than necessary if they were only interested in monitoring the situation. Malone is uneasy with so many government agents on the campus but can’t force them to leave. Jet engines can constantly be heard from something flying over the campus every hour.
Character sheet
Other notes on characters
I would prefer Defender characters to be teachers or older students. If your character is a teacher they should be no younger than 20 (since my character is the youngest teacher there). As the school would offer college level classes you can have an older student as well. So no you don't need to have a teenage kid.
As for playing multiple characters I don't see a big problem. As I plan on capping out the number of writers to at max 4 or 5 you having a second character is fine. It will help flesh out the story. The character will have to be approved by me if they are with Omega X though.

Characters
NPC Characters

Richard “Air” Smith
- Spoiler:
Name:Richard Smith
Codename: Air
Age: 17
Position at the school: Student and lead supporter of MRA on campus
Appearance:
He has short red hair and green eyes. He dresses casually and stands at 5’ 10”. He looks normal but is physically stronger than most people. He also trained himself in a few forms of martial Arts. His reaction time is fast and he is quite flexible which is deadly when your arms can cut through most metals.
Ability:
He creates razor sharp blades of air between his elbow and fingertips. He can extend and even propel the blades in any way he wants but he can only create them on his arms.
Short Bio:
He never knew his parents and for the first 12 years of his life was bounced around from foster home to foster home. He rarely talks of his childhood years. He was found by Malone after his powers manifested and taken to the Institute. He was always pushing the rules and causing trouble but he never crossed a serious line until the legislation began being debated. He has been talking to students and gaining support. He has also formed a small group which occasionally gets out of control while ‘protesting’. He has been known to spend hours in the Danger room practicing his skills. He is also smart which makes him even more dangerous than the normal schoolyard bullies he hangs out with.
James “Phrenic” Malone
- Spoiler:
- Name: James Malone
Codename: Phrenic
Age: 45
Position at the school: Headmaster of the school
Appearance:
Ability:
Telepathy- Is amazing at reading minds and finding people’s darkest secrets. It’s almost impossible to keep a secret with him around but fortunately he doesn’t talk about other people’s secrets and refrains from purposely diving to deep. One of his favorite things to do was to learn all of his enemies moves, run statistics on their abilities and figure out the probability of what they will do. Then lay a beat down with his strength in such a way they could do little to stop him.
Super Human Strength and Endurance- His is strong enough to break apart steel but has complete control over this ability so he doesn’t accidentally crush someone’s hand when he shakes it. He also has a higher endurance than most mutants and a really slow regeneration level.
Short Bio:
At a young age his powers manifested which eventually led him to abuse his powers all throughout High school. It was about then that Professor Xavier found him and convinced him to transfer to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning where he learned the morals of his powers as well as the strengths of it. After graduation he stayed on as a teacher and eventually talked Xavier into funding his school with the XAI. That was 7 years ago. He has been a great headmaster and has devoted his life to his school.

Malone Institute Characters
Sunwolf007: Owen “Aura” Harold
- Spoiler:
- Name: Owen Harold
Codename: Aura
Age: 20
Position at the school: New Instructor and Leader of the Defenders squad
Appearance:
He stands 6’0” with short brown hair and blue eyes. He is kind of thin due to the lack of muscle. He usually dresses casual. When suited up he wears a black suit that is made of Kevlar which offers some protection if some attacks get through. This is the standard suit and he has declined to customize it or carry any weapon.
Ability:
Telepathy- He is really good at using this ability to communicate with the other members of the Defenders and picking them out of crowds. His range is limited but still a great distance. He is not as powerful as Malone when it comes to digging through minds and implanting mental suggestions but he can do those things. When it comes to telepath vs telepath he is quite terrible.
Telekinesis- This is his weapon and has been ever since he learned to control it. He has been training this ability as long as he has been at the Malone Institute (almost 7 years) and has become powerful and accurate with it.
Short Bio:
He was the average kid growing up. Not too good at sports but liked to play anyway. He wasn’t a particularly strong kid but always like hanging out in groups. He was always liked by those he hung out with but this all changed at the age of 13. He started waking up with his bed shaking. Once he told his parents they thought that he was possessed and brought in a priest to do an exorcism. Once this didn’t work they tried other things before long he could hear their thoughts and everyone knew that he was a mutant. He was transferred to the Malone Institute where he finally was taught on how to control his powers. He has graduated from the institute and after a certification program he has become an instructor of two classes. Basic Level Power Control and Basic Level Self Defense.

I am definitely in, and really I like where this is going already so I can't think of something to suggest, but if I do I'll be sure to let you know.
Will come up with a character sheet as soon as I can.

I love superheroes and all things Marvel, so count me in. Do our characters have to be students though? I'm not terribly fond of playing teenage characters. Also, is there a possibility of playing two characters either both on the same side or one on each or such?

In a little bit I am going to make a topic in the OOC thread. I got enough interest to move on to doing this RP for sure. Can't wait to see your characters!

You can probably count me in as well. I have an idea for a character I wasn't able to use for another RP (cause it fizzled).

Move sheet to OOC

Ok I got a regular OOC topic for us. Its called Defenders of the Peace. Yeah so I am not so good with names. What can ya do? Anyway I did modify a lot of things to try and clear up a few things.
Things that changed:
Layout of character profile sheet.
Details were added in the general rules section.
Details about characters were added in the 'Other notes on Characters' section.
Specific character details about NPCs and Aura were changed.
Anyway all this means is that everything we have talked about thus far has been added and I changed the Character Sheet a little bit. Sorry DM but could you reorganize your character sheet to match the new layout? I am slightly OCD about those kinds of things. Plus I don't know if all the stuff that is italicized is what you wanted italicized. Anyway if you could give it a once over it will be perfect. I like the character you came up with.
