XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After a series of unfortunate events that drove them out of San Francisco, the X-Men have found themselves for the time being marooned in Australia. Times are tough, and with lives of the innocent lost…Guilt, anger, and blame rampages through the masses. They came by way of ship, fleeing from a country that fears and hates them…Is no where in the world safe? Some of the ranks have been exposed to the public eye and for the time being, must be unseen until their names and faces fade from the media. In a world so fast paced, always looking for a new target, the next tragedy—It won’t be long before some form of anonymity takes hold.
Sydney, Australia is the site of their temporary compound… At least, it’s supposed to be temporary. Other countries are raising arms, producing laws, and setting up acts to limit mutants… To rate them as secondary citizens…To make it so that they are considered little more than animals. Mutants are being poached like animals, bounties offered on their heads… Mutants with visible mutations are wanted alive for side shows on the darker markets. Human trafficking is at an all time high…
Australia seems to be one of the few places left where mutants are regarded with mindful disdain, and not open—Outright hostility. They escaped a sentinel attack in the San Francisco area, and removed the immediate threat of mutant hunting machines. They were outlawed world wide for a reason…And it is one thing, that the leaders of the free world have unanimously decided is a terrible idea. Sentinels are unfeeling, robots that do more damage than good.
Homeless…They are out of harm's way in one of the many Warren Worthington sponsored compounds around the world. The teams need to be reformed, newer members need to be trained in teamwork, and others need to decide soon—What side of this war they are on… Eventually it won’t just be a few idealistic humans…Eventually, as the mutant population grows… It will become an ‘Us’ and ‘Them’ mentality…Human, or mutant. Families will be torn apart…Society will start to fray at the seams.
The outcast X-Men are in dire need of reform…Of a feeling of unity. Their whole way of life has been shattered… Their beliefs, values…All devastated.
In Australia, they will rebuild. Both their lives, and one another. They will find a way to fight for what they believe in…For equality. To protect those that cannot protect themselves… To stop other mutants from making mistakes, and bad decisions that could result in full on human retaliation and warfare… They fight to survive… To be treated as sentient beings… They will prove that they are not animals for a hunt.
Will you be joining them?
Where We Are in the Plot____________________
The X-Men have been given their team assignments, and are enjoying their free time... though people are AWFULLY grumpy of late, and several of the loose ends leave many wondering how long the peace and quiet will last.
Your Application Should Include____________________
All applications should include, a complete skeleton and a writing sample. The writing sample does not have to be long, two paragraphs should suffice, as that length will generally give us a taste of what you have to offer in writing. We prefer the sample to be with the character you plan on using, but in some instances we'll accept other character writings. EVEN if you are invited to the guild via private message, you need to send in a sample of your work. Just because one mod saw it, doesn't mean we all did.
Application Process____________________
There are two parts to the application process. One, as described above, is to fill out the provided skeleton. [ Skeleton ] Pretty simple, straight forward, and if you have ANY problems, contact one of us mods -- we'll be happy to help you.
The second part is joining. Your application is going to be too long to fit into the "request" guild box. Press it any way, and give us:
Your character's name.
The power for the character.
Your character's model (who is actually the person in the picture that you've chosen for your character.)
And which mod you sent your application to.
Who to send your application to:____________________

Master Cliff Fate
or Selena Lucania
Things to Remember____________________
1. No canon characters. We will be playing player-made characters only.
2. No godmoding powers, such as mind control or mind reading, inter-dimensional powers. All will be faced with a brick wall. I won't allow the mods to have these either; so this power limitation will be completely fair.
3. Send in a writing sample with your application. We prefer it to be something with the character you are trying to use.
4. The application process may take a bit of time; bear with us.
5. We expect 2 paragraphs (minimum) per post... and two posts per week.
6. Even if you get an invite, you must go through the same process as everyone else; send a completed skeleton to one of the mods listed above. Your request to join the guild will be accepted upon character approval, so long as you include what we ask, and not that you received an invite. While it is great that you received one, organization is key to efficiency. Character Name, Power, the character's model name and who you sent your skeleton should be in your request.
7. If you do not follow the directions of this, and you miss any of this, your application will be denied, with a pm sent shortly after on what needs to be fixed before we accept the request.
