Hey, y’all. @ForeverAngel and I are bringing it back.
The year is 1986 on planet Earth, universe 328. Tensions with the Soviets and their allies have spiraled into nuclear war. Most of southern America, along with the upper northeast, has been ravaged by atomic attacks and turned into an uninhabitable wasteland. Out of the rubble and scars of war has risen a new, powerful, and potentially dangerous form of life: The Mutants, humans with dormant mutated ‘X-Genes’ that, when activated naturally through puberty or by some other means, can grant their possesor uncanny powers. Despite making up less than one third of the American population, some of the mutants posses powers so great that they could wipe out the entire northern hemisphere without breaking a sweat.
Intensified due to the tensions of the war, mutaphobia and human rights groups spread like wildfire throughout the nation, dedicated to putting unpowered humans first and shutting out or destroying mutants before they destroy humanity. Some mutants fight back with thier unstable and uncontroled powers, often fanning the flames whether they mean to or not. Others go into hiding, terrified of a world that hates them for being born. Some use the conflict with humans to profit for thein own gain, to gain power or wealthbehind the scenes and monger fear to both sides. A select group, however, may be able to bring peace to all of this, provided they follow a certain type of leader. And the closest thing mutantkind has to that type of leader is the young, brilliant, and inexpierienced Charles Xavier.
Xavier, with the help of his strong psychic powers and a close friend, is traveling across the country and scouring the globe for the mutants with not just the most power, but the most potential. He is seraching for those who will preserve peace and justice, who will defend themselves without slaughtering their enemies, who will create an example for all of mutantkind- and mankind- to follow. But someone is working behind the scenes to destroy what he is building. Someone is trying to widen the divides between man and mutant and cause a bloody uprising that could destroy both sides forever. Which radical extreme will win? Which will you choose? Whatever you choose, do so wisely. You are a member of the first great team of mutant leaders. You are a member of the X-Men: First Class.
So, as you can tell, this version of the rp will be pretty different. I wanted to make it more acessable to normies (That is to say, people who aren’t big X-Men fans) and to people who have only seen the movies. This rp will be very similar to the movie of the same name; The setting is in the 80s, The school isn’t around yet, and the X-Men itself has just barely been established. Canon characters will be younger and have a lot less influence, with Xavier and Magneto of course (And Jean Grey because @ForeverAngel wants to play as her) as an expection. You will be allowed to create a wider range of characters, not just schoolchildren, and you won’t be restricted to the setting of the campus and the land around it. Along with that, one of you more expierienced rpers who decides to join could get the chance to not only play, but create the main villian of the rp.
Also, there will be a much greater influence on choosing a side, as I’m hoping to make it the main theme of the rp. Some of your characters may have to be more neutral or fluid to accomodate this.
I was really dissappointed with the short lifespan of the first X-Men rp, so don’t say you’re interested or signup unless you KNOW you can be an active participant at least once a week. Here’s hoping we can get this thing off of the ground!
