Players wanted for a Literate X-Men Roleplay

Link to the Roleplay

Props to Beta and Hillan of Roleplayguild.com for the fanfic storyline.

In the year 2011, All hell broke loose. The Anti-Mutant campaigns got a upswing, and the harassment of the mutants became an everyday thing. First, the mutants were just bullied in the streets, then it got really violent. By the middle of 2012, a war broke out. A war so feisty that something like it had not been seen since the World Wars.

The world has been taken apart, the United States are still fighting their war on the Mutants, allying with several of the United Nations. It's chaos all over the globe. The United Offensive ( As the new Government calls itself) have pushed down most civil-rights, you can't speak up against them, or you'll get put in prison or worse. The Fantastic Four have vanished, Spiderman was publicly executed, the Avengers Project was shut down along with S.H.E.I.L.D and S.W.O.R.D., Thor returned to Asgard, Bruce Banner captured, Captain America frozen again, and Tony Stark has been put in jail for being a traitor to humankind.

Most mutants live in fear now, they know that if they'd show of their powers, they'd get killed by the various soldiers roaming the streets. There are several groups of mutants whom are working against the government, some have given up hope, and some are still trying to come to a settling with the humans.

The X-men are destroyed. The institue has been laid in ruins, and the professor was executed. The team was either captured or killed, only a few of them survived. The few of them that actually did survive? They're still trying to win this war...I'm still fighting the good fight, though we'd need a miracle to win.

Summary:
With pretty much every majorly recognized Superhero, Superhero groups, and their government support gone, mutants needed a haven. Just until something gave. So, their new home? Vegas. The United Offensive knew they couldn't continue an open war after seeing most mutants grew submissive - So they employed special teams. Mutant Hunting Squads were tasked with hunting down mutants outside of Vegas in a discreet manner. These mutants were cured, tested on, interrogated, killed, or even worse: Brainwashed and employed on The Mutant Extermination Squads. The MES were tasked with hunting down and killing mutants. What made a mutant their target?

Maybe that particular mutant was a sort of authority figure to mutants. Killed to instill fear and break spirits.

Or maybe their target has been evading the MHS for too long.

There are a number of reasons. But where do you come in? Located in Vegas lies the new X-Men team. They're often called 'The Resistance'. They protect Vegas, lead rescue missions, and do the best they can to help others survive.

-Maybe you've been in Vegas a while and you think its time for you to help out.

-Maybe you're on your way to Vegas and the MHS are on your tail.

-Maybe you're already with The Resistance.

Whatever the case, jump into the story and try to survive!

Note: This isn't just action. Strike up friendships and romances. Roam Vegas and live life. But when duty calls...We must answer!

Rules

NO canon characters. - All Original Characters.

TRY to refrain from canon offspring. - If you make one, it'll more than likely be rejected.

Sorry, but no bad guys. Yet. For now, they'll be NPCs.

Don't overpower your character. - No Supermans. Its unattractive.

Respect fellow players when speaking Out of Character.

You may slightly control a canon character. (Use to get things with your character done) But complete control power resides with the GM and Co-GM(s). The canons are meant to push the story further - If you don't know where the story's going, don't try to push it in your desired direction.

Don't post Out of Character comments on the IC thread. PERIOD.

PLEASE don't mix. - Character actions/thoughts/emotions should NEVER reflect a player's feelings. In other words: Don't emotionally attach yourself.

Please don't speed post - Give everyone a chance to reply to what's going on.

Be active!

Don't autohit unless given permission by corresponding player.

Cinderblock rule is HIGHLY enforced: If you or your character becomes detrimental to the Roleplay or the OoC, you'll be removed by way of Cinderblock/Ban.

There might be adult "situations" but try not to engage in Erotica Roleplay. If you want to RP out a sex scene, take it to a PM.

Detail, spelling, grammar, and puctuation will be your best friend. Food for thought.

Notable Characters

NPCs

Remy Etienne LeBeau
Age: 32
Mutation: Kinetikinesis

They call this Cajun charmer Gambit. After most of the X-Men fell, he began to train younger ones in secrecy, forming a new X-Men with the new kids and those that were left. He founded 'New Vegas' as a Mutant haven and as the HQ for the new X-Men. Remy can usually be found at Hooters meditating on the roof or below ground in the Lounge, relaxing a bit. He's not allowed in the casinos because everyone knows he cheats. He's a sweet guy and a notorious flirt.

James Logan Howlett
Age: 200+
Mutation: Immortality/Super Regeneration/Adamantium Claws

He's known as The Wolverine to most and he's Remy's second in command. There's a Gym in town where he trains up and coming fighters who want to join the X-Men's frontline team. He's usually found harassing Cataleia or working on a vehicle. He's not a jerk or condescending, but he's not really a chatterbox either.

Henry 'Hank' Phillip McCoy
Age: 41
Mutation: Super Strength/Super Agility/Super Speed/Bestial Appearance

The blue man known as The Beast. He used to be a strong political figure that aided mutants by acting as an ambassador between the humans and mutants. Now, the once-boy-genius spends his time in the hospital complex named for him, aiding the injured - Mentally and physically. If not busy healing, he's studying with Lorna on something very top secret - Not even their interns know what it is, though it is for good reason. He's a sweet and understanding man that many mutants take their problems to, as he graciously helps them as best he can.

Lorna Eileen Dane
Age: 30
Mutation: Ferrokinesis

The daughter of Magneto - It was a surprise to see Polaris join forces with Gambit and his ragtag crew of X-Men after he had decided to take matters into his own hands, but she's not as extreme as her father. She's a bit of a hardass and doesn't seem to take too well to failure or downright weakness. She analyzes every mutant that she gets to know and sorts out their strengths and weaknesses and makes sure that they are trained to be their best. Her time is spent within her labs in the city or in her labs under the Hooters where the X-Men base is located. She's extremelt bright when it comes to She's not really the one that people want to talk to for random conversation.

PCC (Player Controlled Characters)

Cataleia-Inocencia del Rosario
Age: 19
Mutation: Advanced Audiokinesis/Lumokinesis

A young woman of high intellect, she's served with Gambit and his crew for the past nearly three years. Remy and Logan call the shots and maintain the city, allowing her to coordinate missions. So its safe to say that she's their unofficial third in command. While The Raver's sexy charm and sensual build might make you think she's harmless, you should watch out. She tends to get what she wants and is a hell of a lot tougher than her appearance gives away, being a well-accomplished Martial Artist. She's generally very nice and outgoing - Very empathetic. But if she's truly pissed off, she doesn't talk to anyone and would rather dance and sing the anger out of her body. Cliche, but effective.

Rory Chaplin
Age: 19
Mutation: Terrakinesis

Rory is a young man who's unsure of his ability to control his powers and is often scared to use them. He was rescued by Logan and Dr. Cecilia Reyes who was later killed by MES. Rory has only just made it to Vegas where he will begin his new life and hopefully learn to control his gift. He's a compassionate man with a fierce loyalty to those who have the honor of earning it. He will most likely prove to be a good ally in this battle for survival.

Mikhail Zaslavsky
Age: 20
Mutation: Neyaphim/Smoke Generation

A foreigner walking into a land ravaged by war seeking a place to call his home among others like him. He's been scarred by hateful and spiteful humans, degrading him and viewing him as a monster. As a result, Sammael is very shy and hates for people to see what he looks like. He has finally made it to Vegas where he will try to adjust to living life among others of his kind or recluse to himself.

Alana Watchman
Age: 15
Mutation: Energy absorbtion/Energy Conversion

A happy little ball of energy, Upiti has been with the X-Men since Cat and the two have been as thick as theives ever since. Allie may be young, but she's a witty girl who can find a way to slide out of any kind of trouble. Whether its from eating Lorna's Wheat Thins or stealing Cat's clothes. Her parents haven't been seen in years, though she still holds hope that the two are out there somewhere looking for her, too. She's very empathetic and easy to get along with, though she's a teenage rebel. She's a stubborn girl with a good heart.
