Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning


Overview

Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning is a freeform superhero group game. It will primarily revolve around a sandbox environment at the X-Mansion, however the game will also include an overarching story and driven plot run by the GM's. This plot will primarily revolve around the potential return of Apocalypse and a race between the X-Men and Brotherhood to find his tomb. The game will welcome a wide variety of cannon characters, as well as original ones. This thread will include a Premise of the plot and a loose outline of current cannon history as well as many rules and F.A.Q's. The GM's for this game are Persephone325 and Sun Wukong, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have either in this thread or via PM.

Premise

Charles Xavier, an extremely powerful Alpha level mutant telepath, created Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters in the 1970's. The school is a mansion that belonged to his family for ten generations. After the first two generations of X-Men who attended the school became adults, the school was renamed to Xavier's Institute of Higher Learning. Most, if not all, of the former students returned to become teachers to the later generations of mutants. His long-term friend, Erik Lensherr, occassionally taught at the school but Charles was forced to demand he leave after he lectured a group of students on the superiority of mutants and what he perceived as the 'Redundant' nature of ordinary humans.  For a time Charles kept the school from the public's eye, but he gradually introduced the concept of mutants to humans and made a great deal of progress towards peace. First through small Government meetings and then eventually, in 1982, it was announced to the public that mutants were very real.

After mutants became known to the public, there were always those that opposed them. Their arguments were varied but each contained a core of a natural fear, the humans fear that mutants possessed a power beyond what they ever could. For a while Charles and the Government did well to persuade the average citizen that mutants meant no harm, and that they were more than happy to learn to control their power and use them for the good of humanity. It wasn't until 1986 that the anti-mutant lobbyists gained their largest card in the debate. Erik Lensherr, now solely going by the name 'Magneto', committed a terror attack against an anti-mutant protest. In a display of raw power his magnetic powers butchered the protesters who had been attempting to attack a small group of mutants. The event was international news in moments and Magneto's extremist pro-mutant 'Brotherhood' did damage to mutant kind's reputation that it would take decades to repair.

Operating cautiously and under heavy sanctions Charles and the X-Men, a group of mutants from the school who were combat trained, countered the operations of the Brotherhood as the task proved impossible for those without powers. Soon enough the news stories turned from the horrors of mutants to the triumphs of the heroic X-Men against the villainous Brotherhood. Although many mistrust or still hate mutants the overall view was swayed, with the school managing to prove that mutants were more than capable of doing good. Activity from Magneto quietened, although his Brotherhood still grew, and the school flourished. Decades passed with only the occasional real clash. Now, in times of peace and fortune, something insidious has crept into the minds of mutants. Across the globe mutants of all power levels have felt a sense of unease, disturbed by something impossible to reach out to. It came to each at a different rate, but one by one more and more mutants complained of strange nightmares. A darkness that blotted out the sun, smog choking the air and dust swirling through the streets. Buildings ruined and rubble littering the ruined streets. Towering over the wasteland stood a tower, forged of dark metal, and throughout the land marched slave drivers. The sense of foreboding emanating from the tower was widely discussed, with the teachers doing their best to keep the students calm. Charles himself could not find any explanation, even searching through all the minds he could, but he too felt as though there was a coming storm.

Information and Rules


  • So, what kind of character can I play/make? Mutant student or teacher! Omega level mutants will not be available for play. This includes any kind of OC Omega characters.
  • I have an original character I want to play. Is that alright? Of course! Feel free to make whatever kind of character you like. Just don't make your character too overpowered.
  • Will there be combat? Yes!
  • How will combat work? The people involved in the fight will let the GM know who the winner will be, and just play out the scene as they wish. If they can't come to a decision, I'll be happy to step in and help resolve the situation. But, PvP will not be the primary focus of this game. So I doubt there will be any issues here.
  • I wanted to play "insert character here". But you have them listed as a villain. Sorry. I know some villains turn into heroes at certain points in the Marvel Universe, but that won't happen so much in this game. I have a specific set of villains in mind for this game.
  • OK. But you have some former villains listed as playable heroes now. Like I said, I have a specific set of villains in mind for this game.
  • Can I play an Avenger/other Marvel character? On a case by case basis some characters may be allowed if they're made into mutants and fit the game.
  • I have an idea for a class/club that you don't have listed. Tell me! I'm open to any suggestions!

Game:

  • Section the Game will be placed in and whether it is a system game or not. Bondage.
  • Who is the RP open to? (Gender, Sexuality, etc..?) Anyone and everyone. :-)
  • Short Summary of Player Roles and General Story/Plot. Players can make a mutant student, or teacher. (Youngest is 16, as per Elliquiy rules.) The game will deal with the characters and the aftermath of the attack on the school, and everyday life in New York. (Humans might become available for play some point during the game.)
  • Setting. Modern day New York.
  • Character creation info/guidelines if any. The character sheets.
  • Required Resources (If any) (If a system game - What books(ver.) or links to information needed such as an online guide or wiki?) There are numerous wikis available for people unfamiliar with the X-Men. Please use characters from the Earth-616 category! You may edit the history of canon characters if you'd like. The GM is slightly knowledgeable as well. Otherwise, she wouldn't be running this game. ;)
  • Game Pacing. Players should post when they are able to.
  • How much sexual activity is likely to occur or expected, if any? I don't want this game to be smut-driven, but I'm not leaving out the sexual element. Use in moderation. I will make a thread dedicated solely to sexual encounters, so as to not disturb the flow of the game.
  • Whether tagging will be used or not. Yes. I will provide a code in each IC thread.
Game Master Info / GM(s) Participation Level

  • Will there be a Co-GM? Sun Wukong
  • How guided will the play be? Mostly freeform. I'll add in some major, and minor, events to keep things interesting.
  • What extent will players be allowed to create/use environment or setting details? Creating environments and setting details is something I'd like for the player to run by me first.
  • How NPC's will be handled. GM created NPCs should only be controlled by the GM(s), unless otherwise stated. Players creating NPCs can determine who controls them.
  • How active will the GM be? Very.
  • Will there be an OOC thread? Yes.
  • How to contact/approach GM with questions? OOC thread, or PM.
  • How will decisions be resolved? If players cannot reach a conclusion, then I will step in and do my best to help.
  • Will PvP be allowed? Yes. (See first section.)
Additional:

  • Familiarize yourself with The Oath of the Drake, and Ember's Guide to RP Etiquette.
  • Please make note of other player's ons and offs. Blatant disregard of this rule will not be tolerated.
  • Player Participation Expectations. Players should notify the GM, and other players they are interacting with, if they will be gone for an extended period of time. I feel that after a month of unexcused inactivity (IE: just disappearing without notice), the character will either be: placed as inactive, or open for new players to play. This depends on whether the player is playing as a canon character or not, and if other players (new or current) have expressed interest in playing said character.
  • Discuss how new players will be brought into the game. Revolving door recruitment.
  • What Writing style/POV. Third person, past tense is preferred.

Character Sheets
PLEASE PM ALL SHEETS TO PERSEPHONE AND SUN WUKONG! MAKE SURE YOU TITLE YOUR PM: Xavier's Institute For Higher Learning
(This is to make sure they go under the proper label and don't get lost!)
PLEASE, for the love of Bucky Barnes, try and stick to ONE PM for all character submissions. Character sheets are getting pushed down and missed because of the sheer number of multiple messages that could have easily been stuck in one PM conversation.
Do not edit the character sheet unless it says you can, or the GMs have given you permission to do so.
Players are limited to THREE playable characters! You may claim TWO CANONS, and ONLY ONE character may be a teacher. For now.

Thank you, Intimate Ink, for this helpful little chart!

Just a quick message to say hi to everyone interested. Looking forward to Co-GM'ing in this iteration of the game and to writing with you.

Is this a continuation of a previous game, or a total restart? I found your worldbuilding thread for this, and it links to threads from a previous game it looks like.

Also there are faceclaims without characters attached to them? Or am I reading that wrong? I guess what I'd really like to know is if there is a full list of canons that are taken / NPC reserved.

Continuation, but with a revamped story arc/missions and different characters used as NPC's as I wasn't one of the GM's before. There are a couple of Faceclaims which just need updating with their character attached. Of the four reserved for me Josh Brolin will be Cable, Austin Scoggin will be a mutant Venom, Idris Elba will be an OC and Tyler Mane will be Sabretooth.

I know Luna's two claims are for Storm and an OC.

Sounds good. Any face claim in mind for M?

Sirian Eve

Yup! Aaliyah Haughton. I'm playing her in the other game, but this time she'll be less mature since I want her to be a student.

Sounds good. Make sure you're careful about images you use of her, as she was famous before she was 18.

Sirian Eve

Yes, I always use her older photos. :) It's easy to tell usually because her style changed as she got older.

Please only post in those threads if you are approved. <3

I'm only involved in one game right now and it's not super fast pace, so I think I could handle one character in here.

I'll have to think about it, but I'm definitely interested. I would either be going with Caliban (since I have taken a liking to playing him lately), my OC non-binary avian, or Nightcrawler (cause I always shy away from him and I'm trying to branch into playing him more). Not reserving anyone, so anyone else if free to take Caliban or Nightcrawler.

Just wanted to note my interest and see how I'm feeling in a day or so about it.

I'm only involved in one game right now and it's not super fast pace, so I think I could handle one character in here.

I'll have to think about it, but I'm definitely interested.

Sounds good, any of those would be a welcome addition to the game.

I am interested, how many characters can we each play, and can there be romance between characters?

Three characters, maximum of two canon ones.

There can absolutely be romance between characters. Sexual scenes with have their own thread, and romance should generally be left out of missions so they can remain story focused , but what you do in the sandbox of the mansion if entirely up to you. Creating romance will just require the right other players.

Well I ask because I have a ton of OC. I had actually created a mutant team based in Canada at one point, so I was thinking of using a few of them.

Jag

Eh what the heck. I was going to give it some time, but I work the next two days and I'd rather not wait that long (lest work suck out the last bit of humanity that is in me). I'm going to give Nightcrawler a shot as a teacher.

While there are more nicer full body shots of Kodi Smith-McPhee's Nightcrawler in casual clothing and I know he's over 18, he's just too baby faced for my comfort and there are questions on how old his Nightcrawler actually is. So I'm going to go with Alan Cumming for the faceclaim.

Now to think of what sort of class he could teach. Anyone want to learn how to talk like a pirate with a German accent and sword fight? >.>

Any suggestions on classes Kurt could teach? I see an option for Teleportation Training. That seems a little right for him...? Maybe he could head up a club like Fencing or even something more related to his circus background like Acrobatics or something?

Three's max, they can all be OC's if you'd like. The mutant team can either exist without them or have been disbanded when these characters joined the X-Men.

Glad you're in, and fair enough on the faceclaim.

I suppose it's easier to assess what he'd be best suited to teaching when the sheet's done. May be good at teaching hand to hand combat, definitely good at acrobatics as a club maybe, would be a standout to teaching the likely small but necessary teleportation class. I know some takes on Nightcrawler are highly religious so he could teach those studies. And finally maybe foreign languages if he's fluent in German. From a quick wiki glance through in canon he's fluent in a huge amount of languages, actually.

Edit: As per the reply that came as I was typing this, agreed on teleportation. Fencing, acrobatics definitely suitable clubs.

persephone325

Kurt might actually be a better fit to teach languages than Hank. ^^

Fencing would definitely be cool, and I can add acrobatics/gymnastics to the list if you'd like.

Nice. One of them is more anti hero then hero. She borders on turning into a villain, but she hasn't yet. So how would she be classified? And another was is a 'Hero' she has trust issues and while with the good guys doesn't consider herself one or the other.

How much more anti hero? Player characters need to be suitable X-Men, and will be expected to operate non-lethally on missions unless given absolutely no choice. If she does turn into a villain she would likely have to become an NPC, as she would no longer be an ally to any of the other player's characters and would have nobody to interact with.

It's no issue for a character to have trust issues and not particularly see themselves as heroic, and to have killed in the past. One of the OC's I'm playing had an extensive life as a soldier, vigilante and X-Force operative and killed a lot during those years. The X-Men are all about forgiveness and as long as they can stop killing while working with them it's acceptable, although some may judge them for it.

Awesome, not someone I've seen played before.

Just so you're aware Chronokinesis will naturally have to be treated with caution when used in missions so as to not trivialise everything, as it tends to be very very powerful. As long as it's employed with reason and not treated as a God mode button it's all good.

Lets put it this way, the anti hero, her original story: She was abused by her father, and discovered she was a mutant when she accidentally killed him. She went on the run, became a thief. And almost joined the brotherhood. She was made as a fan character for Xmen evolution (if anyone remembers that show) But she joined the xmen anyway, but still didn't agree completely with them.

The other, had been experimented on since she was a child because of her mutant powers. By her father's lab.

I do remember Evolution. Loved that show.

No issues with that backstory. Characters don't have to completely agree with the X-Men, they just have to follow the rules when they work with them.

I believe anyone in the public eye, if that makes sense. So you can't pull a friend's selfie from facebook, for example. But you can use any actors, musicians, models or other celebrities. These days I think things like Instagram models are fine too. They need to be over 18 and all photos of them need to be from when they were 18+.

Costumes can just be described, it's up to you to what extent you go. For the most part, at a basic, it would be assumed to be standard X-Men attire. Not quite sure what visual we're going for on the suits yet though.

EvieFrye

Ok, I was wondering, especially since the comics, movies and even some cartoons each had their own versions of the suits.

Yeah, there will be a standard/basic suit handed out but then modifications will be allowed to be made either by or for the character depending on their needs or stylistic choices. So for some who don't care it would be left 'default' but you're welcome to make something more unique.

EvieFrye

I'll make some versions, and then see what works.

Absolutely understandable. I realize it's a potentially absurd level power, but I like to think I'm reasonable. I plan to play a younger, more newly realized version of her. So I expect her powers to cause as much trouble as they do good, or show that she has yet to really master them. If ever there's a need for me to tone back my thoughts, I'm open to adjusting based on storyteller needs.

Sounds good. It'll be a case by case thing. For example if there was a mission involving taking down Juggernaut, her freezing him for hours/days/weeks with a single touch would trivialise the situation for all others present. Sounds like you can handle it and we'll just see what happens and adjust as needed.

Quake would require dropping the whole Shield thing and making into a mutant but aside from that I don't see her being any issue.

Ok, I need to ask, regarding over powering. My main character I am doing (I favorite one over the other two, she is the ‘leader’ of the three in my mind) She has telekinetic powers, she uses these to ‘manipulate’ the elements but moving the molecules. She can make water ice, or have it melt and evaporate, she can shape dirt, and fire as well. She can’t move the wind. And she can use her powers to make herself ‘fly’.

Not sure what to classify Scaleface as. Their mutation is transformation into a dragon like beast, but it is willful change. It's not something that happens spontaneously. I was thinking Delta? Because it doesn't negatively affect their life to have the mutation, it is controllable, and does not affect their day to day appearance, but it is not entirely useless.

Sounds about right. Depends how strong the dragon like beast is, I would say.

Jag

Going into the game, Scaleface is going to be fairly untrained. So even though they have the means to be a strong creature, they don't really know how to utilize it well. Kind of a "Well, I'm a big beast, maybe I can sit on them and that will do some damage." >.<

There isn't much information out there about just how large her dragon form is or how powerful it is. So I'll have to work out some stats for myself. I'm going with a more humanoid dragon form, rather than outright dragon.

This was the image I was working from: Scaleface Concept Art. So more 'giant lizard' than dragon. There seems to be a person in the top left corner, so I'm thinking Komodo Dragon sized. I was actually going to use a Komodo Dragon for a base on the stats. Take whatever a Komodo can do and double it.

Nice artwork, seems like probably delta if around a komodo dragon, or even double one. Considering that it's probably not that far over the effectiveness of 'soldier with a gun', if at all.

Delta it is. Thank you for the help.

I'll be finished with the CS soon. I'll detail the stats as best I can. If you all review it and think different about the classification, I can change it. ^^

Quicksilver was maybe going Brotherhood, but never had a character sheet. Should be no problem to have him as a student, though it might need a chat with Persephone about how he connects to her Brotherhood Scarlet Witch.

Ahh yes... that is what I remember.  That usually happens later in her life but I am thinking that since she is a student, she is not aware that her powers harm her in the long run just yet.  In this case, I am thinking that she may feel sick after prolonged use of her powers but she still hasn't figured out why for now.

Will that work?

Third and final question

Is there an open slot for Teachers? Or would you prefer me be a student?

Quote from: persephone325 on October 01, 2018, 09:58:49 PM
Players are limited to THREE playable characters! You may claim TWO CANONS, and ONLY ONE character may be a teacher. For now.

We only ask that players limit themselves to one teacher character for the time being.

Plans only to have one character so far. So if you're okay with Darwin being a teacher I shall get the CS Pm'd to you in a few seconds.

What run were you in? I think it was before I even played. Or I have a bad memory.

I just noticed Alphas are listed as off-limits on the thread.  Is that still on-going?  If so then I can depower Jubes down to a Beta.

Where does it say that?

Pretty sure it's outdated though, so all good.

It was just on the page the link to power levels go to, which is why i suspected it might have been a rule from the previous iteration.  -nod.-  Perfect!

Yeah that was from a while back, when there was a huge amount of Alphas at the same time.

So, I'm going to apologize right off the bat for using a Japanese model for a Chinese character, but I feel like...uhm, back in the day the artists weren't that concerned about differentiating between the two and Japanese street fashion is so much more Jubilee's style.

I picked the model I did based on her 'look', more than her nationality.  -giggles.-

Her face claim is Kiko Mizuhara.

I'm technically using an Indian woman for my Brazilian girl's faceclaim. She just fit the character better than anyone else I could find (cause it's hard to find good makeup artists that do frog based designs). ^_^

We have it. ^^ Our schedules aren't often in alignment to have the necessary conversations regarding character sheets. Time zones and all that fun stuff. ::)
