Right after seeing Shaps/Mookies Castle RP - found here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.147262] - which is working quite well with the chapters controlled by different people I thought I'd give it a go.
Well the base story is set in an X-men alternate universe. One where Xavier has died from a disease unknown, the X-men disbanded through infighting and mistrust without a determined leader.
The Government decided to take advantage of this lacking superpower and round up millions of known mutants and subject them to "reformation" in special camps.
One of the last "big" named mutants to avoid capture to this day is Magneto and he seeks to "reform" the Government to see his way of thinking about mutants being the next step in evolution.
This is where we come in - we are the new recruits under him, we are the new generation of mutants fighting an unending stream of troops and "reformed" mutants.
I do have a loose over-arcing plot, but I would like to have an RP where we do go off in tangents that can explore how we all really act around each other under pressure etc in this world. And because some people fall away at times...
So without further adue, I open the floor to questions, reserves and anything anyone could wonder about this.
Or for X-men in general! - http://marvel.com/universe/X-Men
Oh yeah! Rule's - No Rogue/Jean Gray/Apocalypse type chars, and keep your powers within a bearable limit, no "kill everyone within 100 feet by twitching" kind of shit please <.<.
If anyone wishes to Gm the next chapter in the story just PM me with your idea, and please if you must - only use one of the comic chars (other than Magneto) in you chapter
Sorry for the advertising Shaps/Mookie but yours is the best example
The name is subject to change upon suggestion >.> and last but not least, Sky is co-running the over-arc with me

Real Name: Malcolm Kage
Alias: Huntsman
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Malcolm has shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes. He wears jeans, a white polo shirt and black fingerless gloves.
Personality: Malcolm likes operating as a team; he makes friends easily provided they share his opinions. He has a brilliant memory.
Power: Malcolm has an affinity for plants; he can manipulate their growth and use them as weapons, and could turn a city into a forest in a week. A minor drawback of this ability is that he must speak, similar to an incantation or prayer, to use his powers.

Real Name: Jacob "Jak" Valek
Alias: Unassigned
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearence: Medium length brown hair swept to the left, blue eyes, clean shaven, caucasian male at 6'2 in height with an athletic build. He wears faded blue jeans, a white t-shirt with a gaming graphic printed on the front and a black shirt over the top only fastened half way up and the cuffs of his sleeves are fastened at the elbows so the kinetic energy doesnt ruin his shirt.
Personality: He interacts with others as much as he needs to, he doesnt go out of his way to become "best buddies" with anyone but also doesnt avoid strangers. Often calm and collected, he appears to be laid back but when the time warrants it he becomes extremely serious to ensure that the objective is met if not surpassed. He has absolutely no problem killing to achieve his goals, however he would risk it all if there was a reasonable chance to achieve the goals without any deaths.
Power: Creates red energy blades that fire from his finger tips, they can remain at the tips and acts as claws for close quarter combat. Because of this he has sometimes been nicknamed "Jak The Ripper", a nickname that he views with disdain.
Bio: His powers matured faster out of necessity, he was an 11 year old orphan when he first noticed his powers.
His birth was during a rather turbulent time for mutants and curfews were in place to keep the public off of the streets, this way it would be easier to contain mutant activity. His parent were unknown even to Jacob, he was taken away from his parents at birth as they were to be put to death for harboring mutants and aiding them in their escape... or at least that was the official story.
His father had a terrible hatred for mutants a secret he kept even from his wife until he eventually couldnt stand to be around the mutants anymore and told the local authorities of his own wifes actions, he watched as his home was stormed and the mutants inside were slaughtered. For his help he was rewarded handsomely and his wife was the only one to be executed, all records of his fathers existence were burnt leaving Jacob unaware of the truth and betrayal.

Real Name: Markus Alvis
Alias: Spook
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearence: 6'0", short brown hair, lean build, almost cadaverous. Wears a grey/black striped shirt under a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, a short chain at his side, and yellow-lens/black frame sport sunglasses.
Personality: Keeps to himself for the most part, but isn't opposed to anything social. He has a twisted sense of humor, which includes scaring people occasionally. He is strongly opposed to killing people, preferring to incapacitate only.
Power: Can dissolve his body into smoke and move around in that form. The more he disperses himself, the clearer he becomes and the harder it is to sustain. He can lose focus and will snap back to human form.
He can also create short-lived solid objects from the air, visible only as a blur and a puff of smoke.
Bio: Markus was raised by a mutant in hiding. His mother raised him alone, and taught him tolerance of both humans and mutants. When he was 12, the government found her out and put her in a reform camp. Since he had no mutation manifested yet, he was put into a close surveillance foster home.
At 17 his ability showed itself during a fight with some anti-mutant kids at school. He took a punch, dissolved, and instantly reformed on the ground. He was unable to dissolve again to escape the fight, but later that night he was helped by a nearby mutant and allowed to recover in a safehouse, before developing his powers.

Real Name: Conner Barnes
Alias: Bear
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'9" lean athletic build; Conner has always had an intimidating demeanor, mostly shown by his eyes, which many have commented that it looks like he's "about to kill me or something." Never a fan of extravagant or even colorful clothing, he wears black New Balance shoes, dark blue jeans, a tight black t-shirt, and his wool pea coat, which allows him to easily conceal his two subdued KaBar combat knives.
Personality: Raised by a single mother, Conner never had the privilege of luxury, but treated his friends like he did. Anytime one even mentioned a hardship of any sort, he would chime in with advice or aid to help him or her solve the problem, but knew better than to solve it for them. Conner has adopted a "fight for peace" mentality, never seeking a fight but never backing down, either.
Power: Conner has the ability to call out to animals, using what he refers to as "spirits," and has slowly developed the ability to adopt some of their characteristics, which he hopes to use to entirely transform into one.
Bio: Conner's father left when he was ten, leaving him at the crucial time in development when a father was especially needed. Forced to raise himself at this time while his mother worked, he became everything his father had proven not to be: dependable, loyal, and most of all, there when you needed him.
Conner discovered his power on a church camping trip when he was twelve, when a curious black bear approached his campsite. Others ran and protested for him to follow, but he stood his ground. As the bear approached, Conner asked the bear to leave and not kill him. When the bear stayed and began growling at him, he turned his request into a demand and eventually began shouting at the bear until it finally decided to leave. From that day on, his friends noticed his eyes were different, almost like he had the bear's eyes, and thus he earned the nickname "Bear."
Testing whether the experience was dumb luck or some ability, Conner would go off to find animals everywhere he could and attempt to talk to them. Eventually, he had stories about small dogs that hated being in purses, squirrels that appreciated sandwiches thrown to them, and birds that enjoyed the view from power lines. Never forgetting his new eyes, Conner has constantly tried to become part-animal and has succeeded in small details, such as changing his eyesight, but has yet to become a whole different creature.

Real Name: Carl Eldridge
Alias: Thunderchild
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing around 6' tall with short dark blonde hair and blue eyes, Carl is well-muscled but not overly so. Rarely clean-shaven, he can usually be found dressed in dark blue denim jeans with a plain white t-shirt and black hooded top.
Personality: Calm and collected, Carl is easy to get along with and keeps his head in high-pressure situations, devising intelligent solutions to any problems he encounters.
Power: Electrical generation/manipulation.
Bio: Born and raised in England, Carl had an unremarkable upbringing until the age of 10. Not long after his birthday, a combination of civil unrest, economic difficulties and political corruption in Britain drove Carl's family to emigrate to the United States, as other members of his family already had done. Carl adapted well to the shift and fully embraced his home country, although he noticed the growing anti-mutant sentiment with alarm. His early life wasn't marked by anything unusual and after achieving good grades at school and university, Carl was accepted into West Point military academy to train as an officer in the U.S. Army. Graduating with honours, he was shipped out to the frontline in the newly flared conflict in Iran as a 2nd Lieutenant. After showing considerable skill in commanding the troops under his command, Carl was promoted to 1st Lieutenant and gained the nickname 'Thunderchild' form his troops and peers due to his quick, decisive actions.
His career seemed to be on the up until one mission brought a whole new aspect to his life. A simple patrol mission, part of the strategy to prevent an insurgency forming, led to Carl's team being caught in an ambush. As the firefight raged, Carl found himself cut off, out of ammunition and surrounded by enemy militia. Without warning, bursts of electricity arced from his body and strcuk out at the militia members. Those who were not killed outright died when the discharge cooked off the ammunition in their magazines. Rejoining his unit, Carl made it back to base and his team was soon returned to U.S. soil.
Upon return, Carl attempted to keep his talent secret, but soon found that it was difficult to hide much from the U.S. Government. Agents from an unidentified Government Agency attempted to take him into custody for 'reformation' not long after his return to the U.S. Escaping from them after a dogged pursuit, Carl has been drifting ever since, staying off the grid.
