INFORMATION / OOC INTROS

This is a sandbox with the vague setting of "Xavier's School after the timeline-fixing events of X-Men: Days of Future Past", which means it's rooted in the X-Men Cinematic Universe. However, some elements have been taken from Marvel 616's Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, which really just means that 1) Wolverine has taken over the headmaster post; and 2) there's a time cube in Hank McCoy's lab that has people from different timelines popping in and out of the school.

Characters from all canons and OCs are welcome to play, and we do accept doubles/other versions of characters, but they must have a mutation/superhuman abilities of some kind to be part of the school's staff or student body. Feel free to AU things as you like! If your character has no abilities, they can easily just be visiting and hanging around, as the school lets non-powered people in as well to interact with the students.

Membership is open to all, players can make entries if they so wish, etc. We don't really have any rules here and you're welcome to treat this with a meme-esque timeline, where ships are separate from each other and what not. Have fun!

INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Comment to this entry with this neat form so people can a) get to know you; and b) plot with you!



Or don't use the template, I'm not your dad.

RANDOM INFO
  1. The timeline that this is set in is Earth-TRN414, which is basically the new timeline that was made after the X-Men film Days of Future Past.

  2. Yeah, Wolverine (as played by [personal profile] danzan) is headmaster. He's kind of digging it, even if it's kicking his ass. The Charles of his timeline has finally retired and only teaches a subject or two.

  3. Subjects taught vary from "normal" subjects like Calculus to more "special" subjects like Psychic Defenses 101. Subjects are taught by the X-Men.

  4. Graduates of the school either return to normal society or decide to stay on as X-Men and professors. They can return at any time as visiting alumni or to take the X-Man name up.

  5. X-Men training begins when a student is in their junior year (third year) of high school, meaning these students are "trainees". The school follows the American system with four years of high school.

  6. X-Men do not have to be limited to the ones seen in the films! Characters can be AU'd into X-Men so long as they're of appropriate age.

  7. Guest lecturers and exchange students are a thing. This means that you don't have to be full-time staff to teach something (maybe you only teach in the spring semester, or for two weeks as a "special course", etc.), and students can come from all over so long as they have abilities. As an example, Hogwarts kids can come as they are or you can AU them into mutants, but kids from High School Musical -- who don't have superhuman abilities -- need to be AU'd.

  8. Villains that want nothing to do with the school are welcome to attack it. Or to exist in it to cause general mayhem. It's a pretty big school.

  9. Hank McCoy's time cube allows characters from various timelines to appear and exist at the same time as their past/future selves. This means that Jean Grey from the end of Days of Future Past can exist at the same time as Jean Grey from Apocalypse. According to Hank, this doesn't screw the timeline up as long as they stay within the school grounds... but who even listens to adults, anyway.

  10. Do not feed the Bamfs, which are tiny Nightcrawler-looking critters that teleport around the school grounds with the pest-like tendencies of rats with opposable thumbs. Also, do not give them whiskey, even if they ask for it. Especially not Professor Logan's whiskey.

WANTED PLOTS: He's old and retired from his shit stirring, more or less. Has returned to the mansion to live out his twilight years bickering with Charles over chess.

UNWANTED PLOTS: Nothing too rough. He's old and tired.

CHARACTERS: I have Mystique [personal profile] scalesandsecrets from the original X-Men trilogy (where she isn't Charles sister.)

She'll be teaching under an alias at the school (unknown to the other staff), using her position to subtly influence young mutants toward her control line of thinking. She's forming a new Brotherhood and needs young blood!

WANTED PLOTS: All the plotting! Excuse her while she schemes and quietly manipulates your characters into leaving, all the while posing as that teacher that you can go to with any and all problems and she'll always have a kind word for you.
UNWANTED PLOTS: Idk?

CHARACTERS: So I've got Wade Wilson here from the Deadpool, who will be desperately be trying to get a job at the school as a teacher for literally any subject because he just wants to belong ;_; (and he'll do his best not the blow the place up, promise!)

I've also got a younger version Mystique from Apocalypse ([personal profile] personify) and Methos from Highlander canon ([personal profile] live_growstronger) who will pretty much have the same powers he does in Highlander (he's a 5,000+ year old Immortal) it will just be that that this is because he's a mutant. Since Peter Wingfield played them both, he also looks suspiciously like Agent Lyman from X-men 2, so I'd love to play off anyone getting pissed at him for that.

WANTED PLOTS: I'm up for anything. Wade is a handful so anyone who can put him in his place or make him calm down for two seconds would be fun. People trying to get Wade to be a decent person and also love himself a little more.
And then for the others, Raven running into older versions of people she knows and also be real protective of any mutant children at the school, also she just needs more friends (she doesn't want to end up like that other Mystique, /cough).
Methos will love to have drinking buddies (although he can't get drunk but he likes the taste, okay?), also he's a snarky ass so anyone I can play that off of would be fun. :)
UNWANTED PLOTS: None at the moment.

CHARACTERS: david haller, originally from legion, now AU'd here. essentially mutant-god son of charles xavier who struggles with his mental health and control of his powers. instead of being found by melanie bird and summerland, david was discovered by his father or others from the school while in a mental health clinic (one of many over the course of his life) in his late twenties. he's been at the school since; doesn't use his powers much, still deals with a lot of lingering health challenges and addiction issues. occasionally works with the school/x-men when they need help recruiting, or they need an extremely heavy hitter and feel they can risk david's potential lack of control for the payoff.

WANTED PLOTS: the great thing about david is that with his powers and his trouble with them, he can kind of be used for whatever? so if you're looking to do some kind of sandbox-wide jamjar trope (body-switch, child plot, etc), hmu and i'm sure we can all work out a thing. i would also really love stuff dealing with helping him work through literal decades of gaslighting and the psychic parasite that was attached to him. otherwise i'm kinda up for anything.
UNWANTED PLOTS: can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Update

[personal profile] scalesandsecrets 2018-04-30 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)


This is Dr Elizabeth Masters, Liz to her friends, who teaches History at the school with a side-role as a Careers adviser. She has a degree in Business from Emory University in her native Georgia, and an Education Doctorate from Berkeley, California. Having worked as a teacher at the prestigious Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology back in Georgia, she found out about the Institute through a parent network, and being secretly a mutant (with the power to extrude spiky quills from her skin), Liz decided to apply for a position, keen to help a school for mutants to succeed.

Liz is a very warm, smart woman and her door is always open to students if they need some friendly advice, some help with their coursework or just a kind word.
