is this rp open? i'm writing an app and just curious hehe

We are! Admittedly it’s a bit slow as we’re still just having opened a week ago, and some players are on hiatus for irl reasons, but we’re still very much here and would love to have some new people joining our ranks!

Would Ability Manifestation be an acceptable power for a mutant? So for example they don't actually have a unique ability instead they can channel other mutant abilities but the catch is that they have to be in a certain range of them. So they are basically useless alone.

That could definitely be a power here! But something like that would potentially have to be monitored by us admins as we don’t want anyone godmodding or anything.

[xrhq]

can character's not work for the resistance and instead be part of the sentinel forces or opposted to mutants, etc?

Theoretically they could, but given that the rp is predominantly set within the resistance’s headquarters, it would make interactions a bit difficult. But if you had a potential character idea you can totally run it by us!

BIOGRAPHY:

Born Jonathan Conway, or ‘Jack’ as family, friends, and other came to call him, was one of three children, an older sister and younger brother. He grew up in Boston, Massachusetts to a regular working-class family where they lived in a two-story house in the suburbs, they did chores on Saturdays and family dinners every Thursday night. He didn’t initially know he was a mutant because his ability is latent, and harm has to be caused. However, three years younger than his older sister, his parents had already been through the childhood sicknesses and wasn’t it strange that their son never grew sick. His parents, his mother specifically suspected and later on even knew her son had an ability. However, his father chose to pull the ostrich routine and put his head in the sand and pretend like nothing was wrong. A skinned knee, it still hurt, and he’d go crying to mom as any child would. She would comfort him and watch the wound heal on its own but she would still go through the routine of putting a band aid on it so others wouldn’t suspect.

Growing up, his parents were super protective – he just assumed they didn’t want to see him get hurt. And in essence, that was the case. When he was fourteen and a freshman in high school, he wanted to play football. His parents said no and of course, he forged their signature on the permission slip. Out on the field, he took a fairly nasty hit from his teammates. He remembers hiding the ground, feeling something snap and the pain that came from it. The coaches rushed over and by the time they got there the broken arm that he’s suffered had healed. From that moment, he didn’t join the football team and instead took to figuring out his mutation.

After school, Jack and a friend of his would explore the internet for information about ‘mutants’ and what the infamous X-Men could do. They would then go out to a construction yard after hours and experiment on how far his ability could go. Let’s just say they had some pretty creative things happen. All of which he regenerated from. All the while, tensions were slowly simmering between humans and mutants, us versus them.

Having no idea what he wanted to do when he grew up, Jack ended up going to Boston College where after two years he finally decided to pursue a history major with a particular interest on mutants. Though for him, it was easy to hide what he was. Tensions began to get heated – X-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and humanity – hostility began to get worse as time went on and it finally came to a head in 2015. ‘Mutants attack the White House’ is splashed across every news coverage worldwide. The Brotherhood of Mutants, a more extreme group that believed in mutant superiority had declared open war on the humans. Congress responds back with the Defence Against Mutants Act and Jack decides he can’t stay in his little world in Boston and moves to New York to join the X-Men cause to show people that those with abilities aren’t all dangerous and they want to live in peace.

Two years later the X-Men are disbanded and humanity in scared. Laws and more restrictions are passed to discriminate against mutants. Mutants are hunted down and he, along with others all across the states come together in the last of the mutant resistance to protect those who just want to get up and go to their 9 to 5 jobs and live normal lives.

Then one year ago, he and a few others went out to help rescue a family that was being hunted down by the Sentinel Services. They were holed up in an abandoned warehouse however the whole thing was a setup. The family didn’t exist, and the government was trying to get their hands on members of the resistance in order to get information. The government lucked out further thought because not only did they get members of the resistance, but they also got one considered ‘highly interesting’ with an ability to regenerate. It would be considerably helpful to their testing facilities to be able to carry out experiments.

Considered lost or otherwise killed as few survive the testing facilities, Jack Conway was just another who died for his beliefs that one day mutants and humans could live peacefully.

Then early 2021, the X-Resistance learns about a research facility and break in to rescue the mutants being used as test subjects. Among them, Jack Conway – alive. He’s been brought back to headquarters with the few others rescued, however, he has no memory of what’s happened to him over the last year and a couple months. Flashes really of experiments but nothing really helpful. He definitely would be a subject that the government would like back but he stays within the confines of headquarters, though maybe a disguise or something might help if he wants to go out and about. Better not to risk it though. Now he’s just trying to figure out what happen next…

Or is he?

A year of experiments is a long time and things happened. Jack Conway is not who he appears to be. A re-programmed mutant for their own use, the Sentinel Services have their very own sleeper agent among the ranks of the resistance just waiting to be greenlighted.

How would the resistance deal with former brotherhood mutants who enjoy chaos and causing harm to humans?

The X-Resistance is willing to give mutants the benefit of the doubt. Former members of the Brotherhood or individuals with violent records are given a chance (because the XR knows better than to trust the media or police reports), nevertheless, they do not tolerate needless violence and aggression. Members committing it will be removed from the Resistance group.

[xrhq]

is it safe to assume the brotherhood doesn't exist anymore? since the government went after them after the attack?

yes. most mutant groups no longer exist. that doesn’t mean someone can’t be a former brotherhood member who has become less radicalized over the years or someone who would’ve become one if they still existed.

[xrhq]

Can we have more than one power?

You can if they correlate! If you need deciding a power us admins are all too happy to narrow it down

NAME: Xander Isaac Selwood

AGE: 29

PRONOUNS: he/him

FACECLAIM: Joe Keery

SEXUALITY: Bisexual

PROFESSION: Unemployed

ROLE: Scout

POSITIVES: Laid-back, Compassionate, Generous

NEGATIVES: Aloof, Immature, Apathetic

POWERS: Telepathy / Clairvoyance

BIOGRAPHY:

Xan is a trust fund baby and the heir to his father’s lucrative family business: Selwood Industries. Despite the great efforts of his stepmother to take his inheritance away from him, Xan’s father insists that he will be the next tycoon in their dynasty. Money has never been a worry for him, but that doesn’t mean life was a dream. As a kid, Xan was a troublemaker. He was mischievous and a master of loopholes. His daily life was full of fun and adventure, but his nights were not. Even as a toddler, he had recurring nightmares of terrible things: car crashes, drowning, losing his parents. Every night he’d wake up crying, and no one could console him. They didn’t feel like dreams. They felt real.

It was because they were. One terrible night, all those moments converged. Xan and his mother were driving to meet his father in the city. It was dark, raining, and the winding PCH was looking unfriendlier by the second. Stray headlights swerved into their lane and ran them off the road, into the sea… His mother drowned. Xan woke up in his father’s arms, resuscitated. He was the miracle child after that: his father started paying attention to his dreams, and over time, they trained his powers without even realizing just what they were. By the time he was 10, his novelty had worn off. He had full control, apart from the occasional nightmare. And his father had met someone new: a beautiful young woman clearly after his money. At least, it was clear to everyone else. Xander hated her from the start. She was the driving force behind sending him to Xavier’s. She never said it out loud, but she was scared of him. Scared and disgusted. His ability gave her the creeps—especially after he started using it against her, out of spite.

It was his poor grades that actually clinched the issue for his father. Xan was never much of a student, and his new stepmom managed to convince his father Xavier’s would be the right place for a kid “like him”. He was furious. He fought them every second, and his early teen years at Xavier were full of turmoil and conflict. He never did get along with authority figures. But then he met Julian and Liliana Vale. They were fun. And they let him visit their family and pretend he belonged. Pretend he wasn’t growing farther apart from his dad every day. Graduating was the worst day of his life. His father didn’t bother to meet him at the airport, or at the house. His stepmother handed him the keys to an apartment and told him in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t welcome. He spent the next few years bouncing between jobs and relationships. He partied a lot. Tried not to think about the state of the world, and the way his stepmom would rat him out as a mutant in a split second. And then Lil and Octavian called about the resistance. He missed his friends… And he figured he’d be safer with them than all alone on the other side of the country.
