X-Men - Sign up and Discussion

X-MEN
The RP

In this RP, you have the option of playing 1 or 2 roles. You can play as a character from the show, your own made up mutant, or one of each!

This will be OUR (FFFs) own X-Men...consider it our own storyline. We can make decisions (Who will be alive by the end? Will Jean and Scott get married? Will the X-Men be in their teens or be adults?) and the decisions we make will shape the story anyway we want.

Created Characters

If you create a character, be sure to give them a side, (X-Men, Brotherhood, Government, Maybe even your own depending on how many people join) and of course, don't go out of control when deciding their powers, pick something reasonable, not something that can end a battle in a click of a finger.

Canon characters

As mantioned before, you have the chance to play as a character from the X-Men, but to do this, there will be an audition process to be sure that we give the role of that character to the right person. Details of how to audition will be given later. I also want to say, if you don't get the character you wanted, don't let if get you down, you can always try for another character, or just create your own.

Audition Process

Type who you wish to play as in your post
Your name will be added to the list of those who wish to play that character
When you get free time afterwards, send a PM to me and unphased, and in that PM, RP as that character performing a monologue. (Prove to us that you can really understand that character, the way they think, and you know the sort of actions they'll take, because that is what we're looking for!)
Once all applicants have sent their monologue to me and unphased, me and unphased will decide who did the best, and we will post the winner.

(Note: If it has been two weeks and there is only one person on the list, they will automatically get the role.)

As the story progresses...

As we all know, as the story moves on, more and more characters will be introduced to the storyline, villains in particular. I ain't really planning on immediately introducing Apocalypse, at least not until halfway through the RP, so if you plan on taking certain characters, you can audition for them any time you wish, just be sure to introduce them at a good and fitting time.

Battle system

The Battle system will be up for discussion on this thread until the RP starts.

List of important canon characters

Here are characters that have a very important effect on the storyline and therefore, we will prefer it if they were taken.

Professor Xavier [CLAIMED]
Magneto
Apocalypse
Jean Grey
Senator Kelly

(More characters may be added)

i am tempted to join this RP but then again, i don't know what power to have as there are two powers that i want to use and i can't decide between them

August 31, 2008, 8:06 PM

I have never done an RP, like ever, but this one looks pretty interesting. I'm actually thinking about creating a new character....hmmm. Dunno.

August 31, 2008, 8:21 PM

I'm pretty sure I want to join this. Give me time to create a good character for this, and then I'm definately game.

Characters Wanted

[Original] Calvin Mitchell
[Canon] Professor Charles Xavier

Canon Character Profile

Name: Calvin Mitchell
Mutant Name: Sparks
Age: 24
Nationality: Black British
Side: X-Men
Power: Electricity
Personality: Quiet and contemplative, Calvin is often lost within his own inner thoughts, as he was forced to live both a life on the run, and a life of solitude, from an early age due to the emergence of his X-gene. For this reason, he values true friendship above all else, and so, is not ever afraid of setting his own life aside for that of his friends and allies. Because of his deep thinking, he is often capable to taking a step back, and thinking through all sides and possibilities of a situation.

Appearence: 5'6, with light brown skin over a slightly athletic frame and a closely-shaven hairstyle. His deep hazel eyes are very intriguing to any watching him, as sparks can often cross through them randomly from time to time.

Battle Attire: For missions, Calvin switches to a close-fitting navy-blue leather jacket and jeans which were specifically made to enhance and further conduct his inner electricity.

Casual Attire: A white sleeveless Polo shirt over a sleeveless navy-blue T-shirt that has a Komodo dragon motif on the front. Dark navy-blue jeans, and a pair of white trainers completes his casual outfit look.

Bio: Even from an infant, Calvin began to show signs of the emergence of his X-gene. He was often struck by lightning ... and survived. Once was a miracle. Twice was an act of God. But three, four and five times? There was simply no doubt about it. Calvin was a mutant. Forced to flee from his own family who were tempted to turn him in, Calvin took to a life on the run.

He grew up on the streets, stealing what he could, when he could, and using his emerging mutant abilities to see him through even the darkest times. He gradually began to learn the extent of his abilities on his own. For a time, he resented his parents and other humans, but in time, he began to fell regret for them. They simply just did not understand.

Then came the fateful day when he was approached by a strange man in a wheelchair. 'Approached' was the only word that Calvin could say for it, though it seemed as if the man could see into his very thoughts. From that day, Calvin became a student at the Xavier Institute for the Gifted, and has grown up there ever since under his care and guidance.

Ahh...right, with that, I think I'll need another judge to fill your place

.
There is also the point that eventually I may need to be auditioned. We'll have to decide who to give the position of the third judge to.

August 31, 2008, 9:31 PM

Good call. I'm sure we can find a third X-Men fanatic in order to further judge our own canon auditions...

September 1, 2008, 2:21 AM

the third judge has arrived, and he has brought his own Bio

His jeans are similar to his T-shirts in that he has a verity of different Styles and colours depending on his mood, and he normally wears a pair of white trainers, he wears his Mission gloves almost all the time.

Bio: after his powers manifested themselves when Stephen was 10 years old his parents rejected him and sent him to a boarding school over 300 miles away and only came to visit him at Christmas. he taught himself to use his powers during his long lonely holidays in the empty school.after learning to control his powers he tested the limits of his Teleportation and since he mastered his Distance and how many consecutive teleports he could preform he began using his powers for personal gain.
after being caught and spending six difficult months in a correctional program he returned to school and became a 'good student' he stayed out of trouble when possible and stopped using his powers as much as he could.
