The X-gene. Such a small thing, yet it causes such great differences. So many problems. It's been cropping up in more and more humans, granting amazing powers to those who are born with this strange Gene. People born with this gene are known to the general populace as Mutants. Mutates. They live as strangers among their own kind.
However, despite all the troubles coming, a few people stand against it. A special school has been created to teach this new breed of humans. It's a secret school, shielded from the prying eyes of the public. Founded by a great mind, Charles Xavier. Known simply as Professor X by the students, he has formed the X-Men.
The X-Men as a team of people gifted with the X-gene who train to master their new found powers. Each dedicated to the beliefs of Professor X, coexistence and helpfulness to normal humans.
Though many know of the X-Men and their great deeds, the Professor did not just create the one school based in New York. He created many such schools, each separate from each other so as to protect each school from detection. This permitted each school to remain private and continue to provide a safe place for any mutants who desired a place to live and learn.
Our story starts in one such school, based out in San Fransisco, California. With new students, new powers and new teachers the school continues the work of the X-Men and Professor X's dreams, raising the next generation of X-Men to stand for what is right for humans and mutants.
(This role play is based after the cartoon story X-Men: Evolution. The setting on the other side of the coast, with another school Xavier created.)

A few establishing rules for this role play.
- Follow all rules dictated by Gaia's ToS.
- Follow all rules of this guild (mostly, be nice to each other).
- This is a basic role play, but I do expect some literacy with your posts. Please, no txt chat, no *stars* for action and try to type with punctuation.
- Typical role play rules also stand, no Godmodding, Autohitting, Autododging, etc. Play fair and be nice. (Shouldn't have to be said, but just to be thorough.)
- These rules may change if there is a reason strong enough to change them.

WARNING! There will be no copyrighted characters being controlled as player characters. I expect you all to create your own character for this story. Only NPCs (non-player characters) can be the classics, who will all be controlled by me or an already before hand approved member to play them. Also, create your powers with reason in mind. I don't want to see any super powerful mutant that can't be beat. No best of the bests. When you arrive at the school, you are just getting your powers. That means you shouldn't have a master's control over them. As a note, don't be afraid to have your character make mistakes, get hurt, or makes generalized fools of themselves. Just like with the cartoons, unless you want your character to die, you will be able to take a lot of damage and recover. So if Cyclops just blasted you full power, you wont have a hole in you, instead you will be knocked back and stunned or knocked out.

NPCs shall all be listed here. Any character listed here are to be controlled by me and only anyone else I approve before hand. As needed, characters shall be added to this list as the story progresses.
(Just adding some potential names here)
X-men NPCs
Caira "Cat" White (also called White Cat): Is the head master of the West Coast School for Gifted Youngsters. She has an understanding heart and can be very kind. Though that doesn't mean she isn't strict though. She tends to get annoyed by some of the students easily, but it takes more than that to really get her angry. She often is the calm in the storm, and always tries to think with a leveled head. Her powers fall into the range of heightened reflexes, increased agility and a surprising awareness of the area around her. It's like she knows any place she is like she's always been there. This means she can dodge into an allyway on a chase that normally wouldn't be seen. Or find a crawlspace otherwise hidden from view.
Andrews "Dillows" Jones: A kid who lives at the school. He's got a bony patrution coming out his forehead and goes up and over his scalp. Kinda like an armadillo. He also has a more scaly like skin, but only in texture. Powers are basically just being extra tough and slightly heavier than normal. He's got dense bones... He is a typical boy who loves a good joke. He's gotten into a bit of trouble over the jokes, but he means no harm by them. Usually, he just needs to keep his mouth shut and he'd be fine.
Villain NPCs (DO NOT PLAY THESE CHARACTERS)
Antheros: A mysterious figure who always seems to work in the background. Powers and abilities are unknown.
Ethan "Eros" Smith: A 14 year old who has mood manipulation powers. He usually has a pleasant demeanor, and is normally easy enough to get along with. With his powers, he tends to make it so that everyone likes him, usually by accident. He can make someone like, hate or just feel unmotivated, to name a few things he can possibly do.
Kris "Hermes" Edward: An 18 year old who likes to run and play soccer. He was looking forward to possibly going big league when his powers manifested. He has the ability to fly, and by fly I mean really fast. He can appear to be running fast when flying, and can out fly most cars and planes. He tends to be used more as an errand than a fighter, though he doesn't mind getting into a little scuffle to prove himself. He'd rather toy with an opponent than attack directly.
Mark "Hephaestus" Deangilo: A man who has a gift for machinery. His mutant powers involve understanding machines and being able to create items of machinery and electronics that can do astounding things. He's a gruff man who prefers to be left to his work, though when he has to go and do something, he always has a gadget for any occasion on him. He's a large Mexican descended man who has good physical strength and size for a human.
Sarra "Artemis": Artemis is a girl of 18 years of age. She has a natural talent at tracking and finding things. Once she has her pray in her sights, it's hard for one to escape her. She is also a master of throwing knives and several martial arts forms. To think that she doesn't have any combat powers makes her less deadly is a mistake. She has a bitter sarcasm, especially for men.

Tyler walked down the hall of the School for Gifted Youngsters, stretching and giving a yawn. he hated morning. He also hated having to continue to go to the normal human school. Why couldn't they just teach him here? They have professors and teachers here.
Half awake, half asleep, Tyler approached the kitchen, where breakfast would be served. A hand was under his shirt as he lazily scratched his belly. He had ten minutes before he needed to start getting ready, so that meant ten minutes to eat his breakfast.
He stifled another yawn as he walked through the open doorway leading to the kitchen. The bustle of other students getting ready for the day loud to his sleepy ears.

Tyler lazily walked to the cupboards of the kitchen, ignoring the other students. Reaching, he grabbed a rather random box from the cupboard, it was all eatable to him. Then, grabbing a bowl from another section, he poured the cereal till the bowl threatened to overflow. Sliding on down to the refrigerator, he grabbed the milked and poured, cereal rising and some pieces carelessly escaping the bounds of his bowl.
Two students Tyler didn't care to remember muttered behind him. Something about a test today, blah blah, failing the class. He didn't care. He just slid on over to the table now, sitting down by himself, mindlessly munching on his cereal as he stared out into nothingness.
Why do mornings have to be so early?

Arkios: I stepped cautiously out of the car and looked upon the place which was to be my new home. It was beautiful, the building, the yard. Everywhere I looked seemed so perfect. For a moment, a split second in my mind, I forgot that I lost my memories, that I had no idea why I was here or who I should trust and I was happy to be able to see such a beautiful place. I snapped out of it and realized my guide was leaving me behind so I ran to catch up. The woman giving me a tour of the place was tall. She had short blond hair and was wearing a brown and white dress. "This is the main yard, as you can see, non-mutants have a view of this yard. Please refrain from using your powers here or anywhere else the general public may see you", said the woman, "I am Miss Caira, I teach the basics of defense here". "Ok", I replied swiftly, trying to seem as polite as possible.
"Now let's go introduce you. The others should all be up by now. You will also be starting your human classes today so you will need to be ready as soon as possible", she informed me.
"So how many others are there here", I asked, curiousity getting the better of me.
"At least 20 others, but I don't teach everyone so I'm not positive", she answered thoughtfully.
We were now standing in front of the buildings entrance, and only now did I realize how ginormous the doors seemed to me, but of course they did. My entire future was riding on this working out.
I took a deep breath just before the woman opened the doors, and my new life began.

(Sorry. Didn't realize that anyone posted...)
Tyler, awake now after breakfast, ran down the hallway. As usually, he was just pushing his way down the hall in an attempt to be the first one out. The bus for school would be there soon and he wanted to be the first one on it. Even if he hated school, he still loved to be first at anything he was to do. Plus, there were the tryouts for the local basket ball team today.
With bag slung on his shoulder, and a mob of other students behind (not really a mod, but a group), he jumped onto the banister and slid down the grand stairs of the entrance. Practically bursting down he front door as he flew the rest of the way to them. He landed on his feet right outside the now open doors.

(no prob.)
Arkios: The doors were now open and as she began to step inside, someone burst out of the open door in front of her. She stood, stunned, and looked at the boy in front of her. He was about her age. He must be another student here, she thought to herself.

Tyler stopped right in front of the new student, almost trampling her over with the force of his landing. "Oops. Got'ta run." Tyler barely managed to say in response to almost running a fellow student down. With a show of agility he instead managed to avoid her and continue his run down the driveway of the building.
"Tyler Defolios!" Caira shouted. "Get back here. You know you're not suppose to do that!" Tyler at first was about to shrug off Caira, and was still running down the driveway.
"No can do. School to catch. See ya," Tyler waved back, rather rudely. He was getting ready to continue running when he was stopped in his tracks by another shout from Caira.
"Get back here, or you wont like the consequences," Caira glared at Tyler's back with a menacing tone to both glare and spoken words. "Apologize to the young lady now."
Tyler stopped dead in mid step, turning around with a suddenly bashful look on his face. "Sorry. Can I go now?" The other students where already at the end of the drive waiting for the bus by now.

Arkios watched the boy as he dashed about, stopping because of Miss Caira's screaming. "You may leave now", she yelled to him, "Please excuse him", she directed to me. "Oh it's no problem, but ummm...", Arkios looked at the bus that was now pulling up with the group of students waiting to leave. Miss Caira noticed her reaction, finally realizing the problem. "Oops!", said the woman in a voice the Arkios found quite amusing. She laughed under her breath, hoping Miss Caira didn't here. Caira let out a sigh. "I will drive you for today, hurry and get dressed and don't forget that buses number, that's the one you ride this evening", she instructed. I rushed and got ready and she met me downstairs with a small package in her hands. "Here, eat this on the car", she said. Arkios grabbed the bag and followed her. She had been given her locker and classs information the day before so she knew where to go when they got there. Luckily it didn't take long before she was at the school. "Head straight to your first class, the bell hasn't rung yet so you shouldn't need a note. I walked in the door, bracing myself for the rest of the day.
