This is a roll play based off the X Men series (obviously) All the original characters are all teachers now (if they weren't already). You are students at the Institute starting a brand new year. What new adventures will await you? Will you find friendship, romance, adventure? Or does disaster await?

Rules
1:Follow Gaia TOS
2:NO GOD MODDING! I shouldn't have to say this, but I will anyway
3 razz lease be respectful and keep it clean. Romance is great, violence is likely, but lets keep it a civil PG, alright?
4 razz lease be active. I know that sometimes we get writer's block, or that life gets in the way, but if you know you aren't going to be active for a while, please let me know. If we don't hear anything from you for 7 days, I will send you a reminder PM. Another 7 days without reply gets you put on the 'dead' list. So that gives you 2 weeks to at least PM me that you aren't dead.
5:Be literate and try to keep your posts a decent size. I know sometimes you can't help making a small one, or sometimes they run on forever, but let's try to keep things at a good length.
6:For now, we're going to limit each player to two characters. If you are handling your current characters well, and can make a very good case, I MAY consider allowing you to have more. Also, I'm planning on keeping the cannon characters as NPCs for now, but if you REALLY want to play one, I may allow it, if you can prove your RPing ability to me and also have at least 1 original character.
7:Yeah....we're all mature people here, right? I shouldn't need to baby sit you too much. I will add new rules as needed, but let's not make it necessary, OK?
White List
None
Black List
None

CharactersUsername: Mentor Ananke Name: Deana Littlewolf Codename sad Might not have one yet) Age: 15 Gender: female Powers: animal transformation Personality: cocky and tempermental, but with a good heart Bio: Growing up on a reservation, Deana had to find ways to entertain herself. She always had a strong affinity for animals, and spent most of her time outside playing and exploring, trying to find something fuzzy. It was on one of these adventures that she accidentally discovered her power. Deana was ten years old, and out 'hunting'. She came across a small mole. Getting down on all fours, she followed the tiny creature. She was so intent on her pursuit, and had so vividly put herself in the animal's skin in her imagination, that at first, she didn't even notice the shift had happened. When she finally noticed, Deana freaked out. She couldn't understand what had happened to her. Eventually, she was able to calm down and transform back to her normal self. She carefully spent the next few years working on controlling the transformation, and has gotten pretty good at it. Still needs some work. Appearance:  Username: HimeElara Name: Amanda Johnson Codename sad Might not have one yet) Age: 14 Gender: female Powers: elemental control (mostly water, minor of other) Personality: Shy, calm, friendly once she opens up Bio: Amanda's home life wasn't so great. Her dad was a workaholic, and her mom tried, but she was so clueless, it was ridiculous. From the time she was old enough, she spent most of her time off on her own. Because of her raising, she had very few friends and was too shy to try to make any. She discovered her powers by accident when some neighborhood boys turned a hose on her one summer day. As the water came blasting at her, she screamed and threw up her hands, waiting for the cold drench, but it didn't come. Getting up the nerve to look, it looked as if the water had hit an invisible wall just in front on her. The boys ran off in fear, but Many was fascinated. After practicing with water, she wondered if she could control anything else, and so began to experiment. She has learned at least minor control of all elements. Appearance:  Username: Neptune Bride Name: Kara Gordon Codename sad Might not have one yet) Age: 16 Gender: female Powers: telekinetic Personality: friendly, almost maternal, with a slight temper Bio: From an early age, it was pretty obvious that there was something special about Kara. Whenever she would through a tantrum, things would start flying around the room. If something she really wanted was out of her reach, it would come to her. Her parents were so supportive, it was many years before Kara realized that she wasn't normal. She is so grateful to them, and knows that not every student at the Institute had that luxury, so she does her best to make them feel at home. Appearance:

Deana had to admit as she neared her destination, it was nice to be off the Res for a change. Her parents were poor, so it was very difficult for any of them to go anywhere beyond walking distance. The idea of being away for several months was an amazing relief.
But as her taxi pulled up to the gates of the mansion that was to be her temporary home, she couldn't help but feel a twist in her stomach. She had rarely been around anyone how wasn't a member of her tribe, and now she was going to be living and going to school with a load of complete strangers. It made her nervous, and she didn't like the feeling. That just made her grumpy.
The driver pulled to a stop in front of the door. "Well, here we are Miss." He hopped out and went to the trunk to pull out Deana's suitcases while she climbed out and looked around. He set the bags beside her and closed the trunk. "Alright then. Have a pleasant year, Miss."
"Thanks a lot," she grumbled as he hopped in and took off. Picking up her bags, she walked into the mansion. "Wow, this is one huge place. How do they not get lost all the time?" Setting down her bags, she pulled the envelope from her purse that contained all the papers she'd been sent. Included was a map of the grounds and the mansion, as well as her dorm assignment. "Ok, so there's the stairs, and it looks like I'm in room 101, upstairs, first room to the right, on the right side."
Picking up her bags again, she headed up the stairs. Making a sharp right at the top, she came to her door. "101. This is it." She pulled out the key and opened the door. Inside, the room was split in two, nearly identical halves, each containing a desk, a bed, dresser and small closet. "Looks like I'm the first one here. Huh." She threw her bags on one of the beds and started to unpack.

The Gordon's car pulled into the Xavier Institute just as a taxi was leaving. No surprise. The new year was going to be starting soon, so most students were coming back over the last few days. Mr. Gordon stopped by the door and the whole family got out.
Mr. Gordon got the bags out of the trunk while Mrs. Gordon talked to Kara. "Now, Honey, are you sure you don't want us to come in with you and help get you settled?"
Kara gave her mother an affectionately annoyed glare. "Mom, we've been over this at least a dozen times. It's not like this is my first time here. I'll be fine, alright? Don't worry about me."
Mr. Gordon joined them. "Your mother and I just want to make sure that you're going to be alright, that's all."
"I know Dad. I appreciate that. I'll see you guys for Thanksgiving, alright?" They hugged goodbye, then Kara watched her parents get in the car and drive away. She smiled and shook her head as she watched the car disappear through the gates. As much as they annoyed her sometimes, she knew she had it better than a lot of the other students here. At least both of her parents loved her for who she was. Some of the students had parents who denied their children were mutants, others had parents that rejected them completely.
Using her powers to levitate her bags, she walked into the school and headed upstairs. Pulling out her envelope, she checked her room number and pulled out the key. "103. Here we are." She walked in and found the room empty except for the normal furnishings. As she set about unpacking, she could hear noise from the room next door. "Well, somebody must be here. I'll have to go over and say hello a little later."

Amanda Johnson and her mother arrived at the Institute and parked at the door. They got out and Amanda pulled her bags out from the trunk. "I wish Daddy would have come along."
Her mother sighed. "I know, Sweety. You know he loves you, though."
Amanda lowered her eyes. "Yeah, I know. I just wish that he could accept me the way I am. Not that he's taken the time to get to know who I really am."
"Amanda, that's not fair. You know his work is important."
Amanda rolled her eyes. She was so sick of hearing the same old excuse. "Yeah, Mama. I know. I better go find my room. I'm a little tired from the trip. I want to get settled in and take a nap."
Her mother nodded. "Alright, dear. I'll talk to you soon, alright? I love you."
"Yeah Mama. Love you too." Picking up her bags, she headed inside. She had spent the last couple of weeks since her last paperwork arrived memorizing the map and all the information on it. She walked up to room, opened the door and found a dark haired girl there already unpacking. "Oh! Ummm hello. My name's Amanda Johnson. I guess we're roommates. Nice to meet you." She walked over to the unoccupied bed and sat her things down before going over and offering her hand to the other girl.

Deana was relaxing on her bed listening to her music and paying little attention to the world around her. She didn't even notice at first when someone else came in. When she finally did notice, she was momentarily startled.
Recovering, Deana turned off her music and took off her headphones.A brunette girl stood there and introduced herself, dropping her bags off on the other bed before walking over and offering her hand. Deana stood up and shook the hand. "Hey. Deana Littlewolf. This your first time here, Kid?"

Amanda smiled. Littlewolf, huh? Kinda thought she might be. Neat that my roommate's a Native American. She realized that she had been asked a question and shook herself back to reality. "Oh, umm, yeah. I'm kind of excited, but a little nervous too."
She looked over her shoulder at her bags. "Well, I suppose I'd best unpack before it's time to go down to the start of term assembly. That's supposed to be at 4, right?" She opened her bags and started digging things out. Unfortunately, she was so nervous that her hands were shaking and she ended up dropping a bottle of shampoo, and it rolled under the bed all the way to the wall. "Blast!" She dropped to her belly and reached under. "Drat, dang, shoot! I can't reach it."

Deana nodded. "Hm. Mine too. Can't say I'm too nervous though." When Amanda mentioned the assembly, she had to think for a moment. "Yeah. Pretty sure it is." She checked her watch. "Well, it's only 3, so you've got plenty of time. No need to...."
Just then, the bottle dropped and rolled under. She watched Amanda try to get it, to no success. She stepped up to the side of the bed. "Here, stand back. I'll get it for you." Crouching down, she transformed into a ferret and slipped under the bed.
Finding the bottle, she tried to push it out, but it was somehow wedged. "Damn, I can't get it. it's stuck on something, and I can't make myself any bigger under here." She wormed her way around, trying to figure out how to get the bottle out.

Kara finished putting her things away in her half of the room, checked the time and saw she still had plenty of time before the start of term assembly, so she decided to go next door and introduce herself.
She was just knocking on the door when she heard some commotion, so she decided to be slightly rude and let herself in. She saw a young brunette laying on the floor looking under the bed and heard a voice coming from under it. "Lose something under there?" she asked, taking a couple steps into the room, smiling. "Here, let me give you a hand." She held her hands out and used her powers to lift the bed about a foot into the air. It wasn't easy, and it took quite a bit of concentration. "There, that help any?"

Deana poked her head out from under the bed when she heard another female's voice in the room. It was a pretty auburn haired girl. When the bed lifted about a foot above her head, she flattened out momentarily in surprise. Changing to a capuchin monkey, she scuttled back under, grabbed the bottle and brought it back out before changing back into human shape and handing it to Amanda. "There you are, one bottle of shampoo." She then turned to the other girl. "Thanks for the help, but you must have the wrong room. This room is mine and Amanda's. I'm Deana, by the way."
