X-Men: A Brave New World (official recruitment)

[Lachiyous]

This is the start, friends.  X-Men:  A Brave New World....

Three years ago four friends maneuvered a rocket, into space and came back with wondrous powers. They became Fantastic Four -- the world's first superhumans.

Then came the Avengers. Billionaire Playboy Industrialist Tony Stark known for the powered armor he wears, Iron Man. Thor. the Norse God of Thunder. Hulk, part rampaging beast, part hero. Captain America. Hero from over half a century ago who is a shining beacon of liberty and justice.

Last year a superhuman emerged who used his powers to entertain. Spider-Man ignited crowds with his aerial acrobatics and web-slinging glory, playing in sold out arenas across the tri-state area. It was shortly after he made the jump to televised specials that the media mogul J. Jonah Jameson began an all out campaign against the wallcrawler. Spider-Man gave up his career as an entertainer and instead became a vigilante, cruising the streets of New York and keeping the people safe from super-powered criminals.

Unknown to the world at large super humans are nothing new. Mutants have existed for centuries, keeping their existence hidden from the rest of mankind. A war is being waged between them, a secret war, a cold war. One side stand those who believe that humanity needs to be wiped out or enslaved, and that mutants, or homo superior, are the rightful rulers of this planet. On the other side stand the ardent protectors of mankind. These are the mutants who believe that humans and mutants are one species and are willing to put their own lives on the line to protect humanity. They are the X-Men...

The world is about to learn of the existence of mutants and it will never be the same*....


*Inspiration initially from "Felix80", whom helped start the idea for this world's original incarnation before I took over the concept; thanks to him!

Here is the X-Men:  A Brave New World (OOC) thread with the RULES in it!
Here is the X-Men:  A Brave New World Character Sheets thread with approved characters so far!
=======================================================================
Now that I have your attention...

Charles Xavier will be younger and still have use of his legs, think late twenties.

Most of the students will be younger as well.  Any that is over twenty has the potential to be a teacher's aid (TA), if desired and depending how many students there are in total.

The likes of Magneto, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Mr. Sinister will all be NPC points of interest, and so off limits for those reasons.  Potentially Mystique as well....

Started this thread out in the "players seeking GM's" section.  Now that I have in fact developed some interest and since I do not believe I am able to move that initial thread over here....I thought I'd at least get one here.  I'll also make an official OOC thread with rules posted in there shortly!  :)

[ZephySempai]

I'd be interested in this. Been in a super mutant type of mood lately for some reason.

[Lachiyous]

Sweet "ZephySempai"!  I know the feeling   Anyone you're considering?  I'm going to be a certain cajun by the way....

[ZephySempai]

I was thinking more of an original character. That or maybe spike.

If original, I'm going for someone who can manipulate the si,e and shape of objects. Its a concept I've had on my mind for years but never really put it down on paper.

[Lachiyous]

Character creation code is up in the first post! (sec on that coding, I may be altering it!)

People interested thus far:

Lachiyous
CandyLips
AribethAmkiir
Orange Marmalade
ZephySempai


"ZephySempai" -- Whomever you'd like to play bud!  Concerning your original character, is the manipulation specific to something in particular?  That might be a little more.....balanced?

I'm leaning towards nonliving metals, for balancing purposes also. He can manipulate their size, shape, and density, but can't modify their overall mass. I'll add more details as I flesh him out.

[Lachiyous]

"ZephySempai" -- I'm sure you'll pm me with a furthered notion when it becomes more clear in your mind....:)

[CandyLips]

I would like to call dibs on Bridget Satterlee as my FC

[Lachiyous]

New character creation code is up!  PM me your characters when you are finished with them.  Thanks! 

[AribethAmkiir]

Are you taking Rogue, Candy?

[CandyLips]

Are you taking Rogue, Candy?

I am not.

[Lachiyous]

Okay.  My character sheet is up for Gambit, I made a link off the first post of this thread....as well as off the OOC one.  I just may be claiming Colossus as well, for plot and story purposes.....

Shaping up nicely 

[Wolfling72]

pssst---

Canon only, right? Does it matter if they are part of the New X-Men (comic wise) like Alisa Tagar (Cipher) or if they are like Angel Salvadore before she lost her powers and became Tempest??

(I ask because I play both and love them, they were/are my babies)

[Lachiyous]

Why hello there Miss "Wolfling72"!  The term canon doesn't really apply....to an alternate like world, now does it?  *smile*  I am accepting almost anyone, including original characters and 'gender bent' ones.

Aside from the two I'm seeking to claim, we have an original posted character, and it looks like Storm and Psylocke are both being claimed as well.

...I cannot fault you -- or anyone -- for having more than a passing affinity to any of these fictitious wonders, by the way!

Ya know, I didn't even think of that! *bounces excitedly* So now I just have to decide which one I miss playing more and then fit them to your CS (as their original CS's are saved from other games) Hell, I have an OC based on Vixen *blinks* I think I might have a supers addiction.

You wouldn't be the only one!

[Lachiyous]

Times three here, laaaaaaaaadies! 

[AribethAmkiir]

Can I say ditto? 

I have a craving to play Rogue I wanna scratch.

Oh goody!!

Times three here, laaaaaaaaadies! 

I love it when people understand.

Bet you'd play a helluva Rogue, lovely.

[Lachiyous]

Okay.  I’m off to bed.  I have some ideas for this character, which I’ll run by you in a PM tomorrow.  Toooo suh-leeeepy’s right now.  As it is, I’m logging on my phone to reply NOW!  Hah. 

Be on the lookout 


(..at least I can officially say there is a healthy amount of interest in these merry mutants!  Ahahah)

[Diesel Heart]

I am interested. It's been a long time since I did anything superhero related.  Is it restricted to X-Men specifically, including OCs or do you allow mutants in general? Cyclops, Jubilee, Iceman, and X-23 would be my immediate interests.

[Timeless]

>->; -plants an interest flag-

I might be interested but I have to think about it more. My main interests would be Scarlet Witch and X-23 - unless Diesel Heart is very keen on X-23 instead. Don't wanna step onto anybody's toes.

Cyclops is my first choice, so by all means.

Hi "Diesel Heart"!  If said character isn't part of a plotline that's woven into story material, almost anyone can be allowed.  Scott, I may have plans for though *shrug*  Will that throw you off?  Send me a pm if you'd like to discuss!

Hi "Timeless"!  There might be a stipulation on Laura, in that admantium does not exist.....yet.  So she would have bone claws, if anything.  Send me a pm if you'd like to discuss further!
