Yoda Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Just to let everyone know, this is in no way related to my other RPG "X Men: The Begining." I have decided that the last RPG wasn't working very well of late, so I am starting up a new RPG, which will hopefully work a lot better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three months ago, Professor Charles Xavier opened a school in Weschester County, New York. However, the "Xavier Institute for Higher Learning", is no ordinary school. Shadowed from the public, this school was made to teach mutants how to control their powers. Mutants are the next stage in human evolution, gifted with special powers, but they fear humans will greet them with fear, hostility, and even violence. Xavier himself is a very powerful mutant, gifted with the ability to control people's thoughts, and read minds. However, his powerful mind came at a great cost; the use of his legs. This man, although wheelchair-ridden, always displays an air of calm, and of trust. His best and oldest friend is a man named Erik Magnus Lenshher. Erik is also a mutant, one with an extreme power, the ability to create magnetic fields; allowing him to control all metal objects. He called himself Magneto. The two, although great friends, had very different opinions on how mutants should introduce themselves to mankind. Xavier believed that mutants should introduce themselves as friends, and live in peace with humans. Erik refused to accept this as a possibility, he knew that humans would never accept mutants, and that a war would brew between the two species, a war which he intended to fight... and win. However, they both agreed that the world was not yet ready to find out about the mutant species, and so, individually they searched for yound, developing mutants to take in and train, so that the mutant race would be kept a secret. Whereas Xavier wished to teach his recruits control so they could return to the world as acceptable members of society, Erik Lenshher planned to use his recruits as soldiers in the upcoming war against mankind. Unfortunately, the humans began to learn of the existance of mutants, and so both men feared they had to work quickly. Xaviers first two recruits were very extreme cases, two very strong mutants named Craig Wagner and Seifer Maximoff. Both had already displayed excellent control over their abilities, but they had also both been discovered and labelled as freaks by their local communities. He took them in, and for three months he had been training them solely, waiting patiently for more mutants to develop, so he could take them in and train them, protecting them from the hateful public. The American Government, in a very drastic movement, has began to build a mutant detection and elimination system, called Operation Sentinel, which they are keeping top secret. Xavier fears his time is running short. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the deal... you are a young man or woman that will discover their power in their first post, or at an early stage in this RPG. You are able to pick any powers from existing mutants, besides the following: Charles Xavier, Magneto, Juggernaut, Nightcrawler and Quicksilver. The first three are NPC's, and the last two are the powers of Craig Wagner and Seifer Maximoff, the positions of which have already been filled. You have been warned, any person who tries to create their own powers will face immediate expulsion from the RPG. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here's what you need in your sign-up: Name: [Your characters full name, and any nicknames.] Age: [Your characters age in years...] Gender: [Male or female... or maybe a bit of both.] Nationality: [What country your character comes from.] Powers: [The characters who's powers you have, a.k.a Cyclops.] Weapons: [If you so wish, you are free to have one weapon.] History: [Your characters past, remember, children who turn into mutants often have troubled pasts.] Description: [Your characters physical appearence.] Personality: [Your characters likes / dislikes, and their attitudes towards others.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Name:[/B] Craig Wagner [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Nationality:[/B] Half Welsh, Half German. [B]Powers:[/B] Nightcrawler's [B]Weapons:[/B] None [B]History:[/B] Craig was found on a riverbank in Lauterbach, Germany in May 1985 by a married couple, David and Anne Wagner. Craig was only a few months old at the time, and had been seemingly abandoned by his parents, who to this day still remain unknown to him. When the couple found him, they found he was very unlike most children. Blue fur covered his entire body. His eyes were yellow, and his ears were pointed. He had two fingers and a thumb on each hand, and two toes on each foot. Also, perhaps the most peculiar thing of them all, he possesed a demon-like pointed tail. Regardless of his physical appearence, the couple couldn't help but take pity upon him, and took him in as their son, moving back to the mother's home country of Wales. They soon found that the difference between Craig and the other children were not simply in appearence. The found that Craig was able to climb walls, and hand effortlessely from the ceiling by his tail. He was also extremely agile and quick, by the age of five he was already faster in raw speed than his father. However, despite his obvious gifts, his parents knew he must be kept inside at all times, as they community would never accept him as they did. Craig was happy with this for a while, always pleased to stay with his parents constantly, as most young children are. He was schooled at home by his father, who had given up his teaching career to stay home and look after Craig constantly. However, and Craig turned ten years old, he began to realise how lonely he was becoming. Suddenly, his parents did not provide the level of companionship he desired, he wanted friends, people his age that he could hand out with. He asked his parents about this, and they forbade it, knowing what the consequences would be. They took heavy precautions to make sure Craig could not get outside, they went so far as to bar the windows and reinforce the doors, which only made Craig's desire for the outside stronger. One day he became very frustrated, locked up inside his room. He began pounding on the doors and walls, screaming and yelling for his parents to let him out, when suddenly, he vanished in a puff of ash and smoke. He reappeared suddenly on the roof of his house... he couldn't believe what had happened. He focused, and in the same flash, he was back inside his room... Over time, in secret, he practiced and developed his ability, not even letting his parents know about his ability of teleportation. Over three years he gained a lot of control over his power, and finally decided that he should face the outside world. So, one day almost a year ago, he teleported outside his house, and onto the streets, in broad daylight. The people believed him to be a demon, quickly developing a fear of him, they started hunting him. Knowing his parents were right, but also that they could no longer protect him, he fled, and for one year he had been running, hiding, and fighting for his life. He was so relived when a man, Professor Xavier, ame to him, explained about what he was, and offered him sanctuary from the outside once more. Craig was glad to accept. He was brought to New York, where he met the only other student of Xavier's at the time, Seifer Maximoff, who possesed super speed. The two instantly developed a strong friendship, training together in the mansion, developing as people, and Craig learned to trust people once more. For three months they have been at the mansion, and now Xavier is looking for other recruits to join his School for Higher Learning. [B]Description:[/B] Black scruffy hair, yellow eyes, pointed ears, blue fur covering his entire body. Three fingers on each hand, two toes on each foot, and a pointed tail. He is about 6', and is quite slim, but at the same time has very defined muscles. He usually wears a black "Green Day" t-shirt and baggy jeans. All his trousers have a special hole in the back for him to put his tail through. [B]Personality:[/B] Craig is a joker, and over time has become quite cocky with his powers. Never the less, he is a good friend to anyone who earns his trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]I have no clue what you are talking about. Therefore, i do not understand and am not going to sign up... yet. Clarify this please. the sign up.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 If you are not going to sign up, then you have no right to post in this thread, unless you have authority and feel it should be closed. Your post is therefore SPAM. Also, an idiot could understand the plot of this RPG, it is very simple, and so I assume you have posted what you did in order to be funny. Then let me tell you that you have succeded only in making a fool of yourself. What's more, judging by the quality of your supposed X Men "RPG", I'm not sure I would even have allowed you to join, as you obviously lack creativity and good role playing skills. So, next time, think about what you are going to say before you say it. Thank you... and have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartless Me Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 *decides.* maybe I'll play a female character.... *thinks.* ____________________________________________________________ Name: Selene Rodriguez Age: 15 Gender: Female Nationality: Mexican Powers: Lady Deathstrike Weapons: Katana History: Selene grew up in the heart of mexico city. When she was a child she loved to go to the stores and read the comics off the shelf, reading stories of superheroes and villains duking it out over the fate of mankind. Such stories always excited her. She wanted to be just like the heroes in the book, little did she know later on when actual super people started surfacing, her dream came true turned into a nightmare in the making. They were hated for being different and people who were kind to the mutants were hated by them as well. She kept her dreams to herself at that point for fear of being hated herself but still kept an ever vigilant eye out for her secret admirers. One day when she was out with her parents shopping she had unknowningly strayed from them. She searched for her mother, father and sister for over an hour but to no avail she found noone. Despaired she left the shopping mall and sat outside crying. She was so far from home and didn't know what was going on. As she sat wallowing, she was approached by two men that looked american and said they were sent by her parents to pick her up and take her home. Not thinking, only being glad she was found she got up and into the car. That was the last thing she remembers. The 3 agents(there was one in the care.) drove back across into the united states where they took her to a small unknown military installation. Now based on what Yoda allows, one of two things things will happen. either A.) They will give her a full cybernetic conversion turning her into a cyborg or Description: See link. (Add semi appropriate features to make her look kinda like a latina lady deathstrike, i.e. Long claws and cybernetic enhancements.)

Sweet Craig! I'll do my best to make your rpg a successful one on my part! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 I did say you could pick from any mutants besides the ones mentiones above, so Lady Deathstrike is fine. It'll be a nice change from the usual rabble of powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QuickSilver Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Name: Seifer Maximoff Age: 18 Gender: Male Nationality: Half Polish, Half American (New york) Powers: Quick Silver Weapons: Dont need any History: Seifer Maximoff is the son of Magneto, mutant Master of Magnetism, and his former wife, a gypsy named Magda. Prior to Seifers birth, Magda fled Magneto, terrified by the recent manifestation of his bizarre powers and his newly adopted doctrine of world domination. Seeking refuge, Magda came upon the scientific citadel of Wundagore in the Balkan Mountains of Transia. She was taken in by Bova, a humanoid cow cleated by the master geneticist known as the High Evolutionary. Magda gave birth to a boy named Seifer. Still afraid her estranged husband might hunt them down them, she walked into the frozen mountain wilderness to perish. Bova, sent Seifer to New York knowing that, it would be best for the baby. Seifer found growing up in New York fine, he knew that the people caring for him were not his real parents but he did not have trouble facing this issue. He made a lot of friends in his youth, he grew up as a popular kid; playing sports, hanging out with crowds and having girlfriends. One day at the age of 17, Magneto found out about his son Seifers where abouts and decided to send a troop of his men to eliminate them his foster parents and him at all costs. On a perfect Tuesday evening, when Seifer got home from school, he found out that things werent so perfect after all. When he got home, he found the bodies of the two people caring for him, cut up on the floor. His heart broke to peices and tears ran down his face. He felt a growing anger within him. He searched the house, only to find three people waiting for him. He tried to battle them off but they were too strong for him. He then thought about what had just happened and the good times he had spent with those two and the pain within exploded and released his new power. He fought off the three easily, they were no match for his new found power of speed. The following week the inccident was all over the news, people both hated and felt sorry for what had happend to him. The felt sorry for his parents getting killed yet they faered and hated him for his new found ability. Eventually a mob was formed to hunt and kill Seifer down because they all feared what he may do in the future. Luckily for Seifer a man named Charles Xavier heard about the news and saved him, taking him to the mansion where another muntant named Craig was also staying. Description: looks like QuickSilver from X-men Evolution Personality: Because all of his body his adapted to quick speed, Seifer get bored very easy and his mind tends to wonder when hanging around other people, he his also very cocky to newly aquainted people but very trust worthy to old friends.

JesterSpirit Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 ((X-men rps just seemed to be cursed for some reason, but i'll give this a go. I'm not playing a girl so i'll just take her powers.)) Name: Yuri Fulcrum Age: 18 Gender: Male Nationality: Russian Powers: Shadowcat Weapons: None History: Yuri grew up on the desperate streets of russia. His parents survived till he was six atleast and somewhat able to take care of himself. He was mostly a thief most of his life but as he grew really quickly and eventually become a full on bandit. Forget stealth he just beat the crap out of people and took everything they had. He got viscous to say the least but he was also smart. The police made several tries to grab him but he knew how to get away. By the time he was 14 he was already about to be leader of a small youth gang that ran the back streets of Smolensk. First things first though he had to make street paste out of the current leader. Though Yuri was now coming up on six feet the 20 year old leader was well over that and had atleast 50 pounds on him. Long story short he was beating Yuri into the ground. As he tried another punch though his hand suddenly went right through Yuri! He was stunned to say the least but Yuri had no clue what had happened and made a quick move on the surprised leader knocking him out. For two years Yuri ran the gang without any sign from his powers again. It flourished under his brilliant and daring plans. He made deals with all sorts of groups and had very close contact with the black market. In doing so he learned several other languages including English. Eventually though Yuri was getting too well known for his own good. The Kremlin itself had heard of Yuri and how his gang had been badly disrupting trade in the city. Sick of it all they sent a strike team into Smolensk to take out the whole gang and bring in Yuri dead or alive it didn't matter. The attack was quick and brutal and Yuri's gang of mostly unarmed street punks were slaughtered. The young leader was trapped in warehouse surrounding by soldiers. He had been shot in the leg and was limping badly. After a minute of prep they stormed the place wildly firing in all directions. Bullets missed him by inches as he limped across the back of the warehouse. Finally one of the soldiers spotted him and emptied nearly a whole round in his direction. In a moment of despair he dropped back and fell right through the wall. Something finally clicked in his mind and his flight from the strike team was a nice crash course for his new found talent. He eventually managed to escape moving through fences and whole buildings. The team had no clue how he was getting away but refused to give up and eventually put small units all over the city looking for him. Yuri spent a few weeks hiding out in a small street hospital where he had a few friends left. After his leg had mostly recovered he decided it was just about time he left Russia. He went to the airport and used his power to quietly steal a ticket and then sneaked his way onto the plane destined for the US. He spent the next year or so on the streets and took care of himself quite well. He was an expert thief before he had powers. With them it was scary how effective he was. He also spent alot of time street fighting. Something his six and a half foot frame and over 170lb body took to quite well. He was good enough that he usually didn't have to but when he was sure he could get away with it he cheated with his powers. Until that voice started bugging him. For weeks on end it was in his mind. He was almost certain he was losing it until the voice finally told him an address. He darted over their using his power not caring at all who saw him. He was sick of this and fully intended to turn whoever was responsible into the lord of the wheel chairs. Oddly enough when he finally found the guy he already was in a wheel chair. Damn. Xavier layed everything out for the young man. Mutants, powers, his institute. Yuri was highly skeptical but it did dawn on him that baldy here could just make him come along with those mind powers. And yet he wanted him to make the choice himself, dumb@#!. Oh well it was free room and board. Better than squatting in unused hotel rooms. Description: Big and tough russian you could say. He keeps his black hair long though (not like he has to worry about someone grabbing it while he's fighting) and mostly wears sweaters and jeans he hates anything that looks formal or upper class. He also has a small black widow spider tatooed on his right cheek that clashes well with his green eyes. Personality: He has a nice mixture of boredom and being pissed. He'll snap at most anything that bothers him even in the slightest way and won't back down from anyone. Well except Xavier, he is the one person one the planet Yuri knows can easily take him in a fight. Cheap @#! mind powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was abandoned at birth birth becauseof his somewhat...outlandish appearance, and lived on the dregs of the city with a group of homeless people in a labyrithine alley complex known as Rat City.

Boba Fett Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 [COLOR=green]It's about time I joined an X-men RPG...

Like the rest of the Kurdish population at the time, they were just beginning to feel danger from the radical Serbian elements that were fast overtaking their nation's government. They managed to escape most of the forced evictions and random killings because Abob's father was a top government weapons scientist, but eventually the weapons that he was working so hard to develop was used against the Kurdish people. Abob's father quit his job, and the secret police came for him that night. All was quiet in their small house, when a small explosion blew the wooden door into splinters and six armed men wearing camouflage burst through the windows. They executed both Abob's parents, and then turned to kill two year old Abob. Suddenly a blinding flash of red light came from Abob's eyes and incinerated the soldiers. When local authorities found his parents dead the next morning they were shocked to discover a baby, still alive and healthy, sleeping on the floor next to his parents lifeless bodies. He was sent to an orphanage and remained there for several years. He lead a normal life for the next ten years, until Abob became angry with a school bully, and in that flash of anger killed him with a burst of red light that emanated from his eyes. He was horrified by what he had done, but decided to develop his mysterious talent in secret. Three months ago he was selected to participate in an exchange program and go to school in the US for a year. He has been doing well in his new school, but seems to be hounded by a mysterious voice which keeps telling him to come to a clandestine location?
