Rise of Mutants( formations of teams and storylines)

[Deleted]

Wanted to start a sl to develop teams of mutants since there is a need to be more groups on here it will help with bringing people in. Any more ideas? Going to brainstorm on actual threads for this.

First working on a xforce team those still interested let us know on here.
Then also trying to get a xmen group back up tried once going to try again. Would like to do a social thread maybe classes for xmen students and interactions. Also action /minimum drama situations. Xforce can also be xmen though it takes a special type to be xforce Cyclops who will be played by a mod most likely will decide who is on xforce. This is also a good opportunity for customs to join for both Xmen and Xforce.


Noticed that there is no brotherhood of mutants. Is anyone interested in doing a new brotherhood? The Brotherhood of Mutants was a group dedicated to the cause of mutant superiority over humans. Throughout its various incarnations, the Brotherhood's agenda gravitated towards either subjugating the human race to the will of mutants or eradicating humanity altogether. Magneto formed the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Is anyone interested in joining or doing a sl against them.(There is a four horsemen thing going on I think they just need to regroup far as I know they are already selected. Also there is a Hellfire group not sure if they are full yet you would have to contact certain people. I'll get links if your interested in joining) please leave interests, comments or suggestions on here also if you want to join in and if it is a selected group.
sl =(storylines)

Will push the Brotherhood with Magneto, but after he tests the proverbial waters with Wanda, so look for it on the near horizon. Until then if anyone wants to face/thread with Magneto let me know.

The Hellfire Club presently has both a Red Queen and a Black King, the White variant (can be either King or Queen) has yet to be applied for/accepted, there is also presently a Red Knight. Can check here for more info.

I hold Mystique and Storm as my only two mutants. Storm would unlikely be interested in the X-Force, but Mystique is still probably a good fit or the Brotherhood, if Mags chooses to keep her around.

[Revan]

Cyclops is my character, fyi. So I would be the one playing him, mod or not.

As it has always been planned, X-23 will be on X-Force.

I know we discussed most of this before just putting it together.

Ideas that are going around a mutant cure or virus similar(Legacy virus) to that will actually be used against them in capturing mutants. Also with this a zero tolerance type storyline if we have individuals interested.
Cannons possibly needed for this

Cable
Professor X
Stryfe
Mr. Or Miss Sinister
possible connection with the four horseman


More ideas being discussed Old school type storyline possible infinity gauntlet type even a dark phoenix saga 2

Mutants/or heroes and villains on a side note

For the street level and midlevel to low level types two different ideas so far one showdown (New York) crime bosses are recruiting and fighting for turf. The heroes being overwhelmed with crime areas.

The second murder and mayhem A drama where a criminal mastermind or powerful magic has complete hold of the city and has control over just about everything corruption and deceit everywhere. Possibly thinking of a spider sl depends on interest.

For these two ideas more powerful can join in some parts but the main story is for lower levels

Cannons I would like to see.

The Hood
Hobgoblin
Taskmaster
Doctor Doom
Selene
The Hulk
Venom\Carnage
Sinister six
Electra
Sabretooth
Brotherhood members
Avengers

There are many more this is just some I would like to see.







Would like to see Avengers started up also.

Sid, stop asking for canons in plots. Plots need to be designed for the characters already in play, not your fantasy scenarios.

possible connection with the four horseman

Staff plays Apocalypse and Apoc controls the horsemen. You have no say in anything connected here so stop presenting things like you do.

Both of these require Staff approval, yet as far as I know this discussion of yours has not been presented to us. Dark Phoenix would also require the inclusion of Adele, player of Jean.

Again, stop asking for canons in plots. Work with what we have and the characters that are played. OC's exist too and should not be excluded.

Would like to see Avengers started up also.

Since we follow the comics, the Avengers started up years ago. I don't know why this is here. O.o

The street level plot descriptions are fine, though requiring more detail and players before you rush off and start them. However, why are they being presented in a thread called 'Rise of Mutants'? Most of this has nothing to do with mutants specifically, as the title suggests. You need to separate your plots and make threads specific for them so people can tell what's going on where. This is all jumbled and confusing as is.

Hey guys,

I guess this would be the most appropriate place for this sorta stuff. (correct me if im wrong).

Now that Bastion is in play, I noticed that Sid had mentioned at the beginning of his thread that Bastion was planning on executing some mutants on live television. I thought (as I'm actually playing as Bastion) I may as well get involved as my character had been mentioned. Something that sorta happens in the comics and was a shock to fans and always interested me seemed like it could take place here.
Essentially, I'm planning on posting what occurs on the live television broadcast. I'm planning on Bastion and the purifiers declaring their intentions to the world and properly start the ball rolling on their 'attack' against the mutant race. I also thought it would heighten the stakes if one of the mutants Bastion attempts to execute is a well known one and as I control Nightcrawler, I thought it should be him. (In the thread set in Mandripoor, I have Nightcrawler captured by the Purifiers along with some other mutants so there is some form of set up there).

In the comics, Bastion kills Nightcrawler so I thought that if the broadcast were to finish with Kurt's death, it wouldn't be straying too far from comic lore or anything like that and just felt like it could be an epic start to the purifiers rise and could galvanise the mutants to form alliances that they may not have otherwise formed now that they can see one of their close allies can be killed.

I've posted the beginning of the live TV event with Bastion but things haven't gone too crazy just yet. I have the end of the broadcast written and ready to go so if mods give me the go ahead or ask me to alter stuff, can do
General thoughts?

[Deleted]

We don't have anything against outright killing characters. However if you do kill a canon (or any character really) then that respective character won't be playable until you are able to somehow resurrect them or you have some means planned for faking their death. It's not just a "oops, retcon, yay they're back now" like the comics do so often. There has to be a logical reason for it.

Well, unless something redonkulous happens like reality-warping, or the character gets dropped and someone else comes along and ignores the story line!

Anyways, as to whether or not this can happen, it isn't my say. But unless you don't intent to play Nightcrawler anymore or you have some means of getting him back to the world of the living, you might want to reconsider killing him off. Just my two cents!

[Deleted]

Sure absolutely. I was planning on it being my final Nightcrawler post (if I did kill him). I may not drop the character as may do posts that take place beforehand but if I was able to do it, I would consider it Kurt's death and I would consider it to be a permanent one unless something like in the comics were to occur and someone was to travel into the afterlife or whatever. I've written what I would do if he were to die and it's sorta similar to how he dies in the comics.
I also thought it would be a cool 'event' for the site and could have a knock on effect to other threads involving the X-Men or other mutants.

[Deleted]

I'll do the post and if any alterations are needed, just let me know x

Heyas. Just my two cents.

First… I know that as I read the deaths of two other canon chars and then Nightcrawler I was more than a little dismayed. It was my understanding that killing even your own canon char required permission from the staff and shouldn’t be the kind of thing that happens very often. Likewise, it can't be permanent. Mysteriously vanished and presumed to be dead? Sure, but permanently dead was a no no, and wasn’t the kind of thing that should happen too often, just as I’m sure chars returning from the dead shouldn’t happen too often.

It wasn’t in the rules, but as an enterprising player discovered, it is in the site’s FAQ area.

Q: Can I kill another character?

A: A comic character? No. Never permanently. An original character? If the player says it's OK, (i.e., they are quitting, or just think it's time for a new character and want to get rid of one, then sure).

So I think just to stick to the general rules, the Sun Yao (whateverhisnameis) who is 1/4th of the Collective Man, and Amanda Sefton (though I know this dents Kurt’s suffering in the thread) should be removed entirely from the thread because they’re canons that aren’t played by anyone.

(All this being said, please keep in mind I’m just another player, so obviously I’m not telling you what to do. I just think that killing or even roleplaying canons that aren’t yours sans permission is generally against the rules. So that kind of dictates things all on its lonesome.)

As an alternative option, you could use another hapless mutant (maybe a teen or child, since you lost the Amanda Sefton angle, and a sympathizer who could be her mother or aunt or whatever who dared try to protect her. So there’s poignant emotional strings to strum there, but you’re not stepping on the necks of various canons to pluck them.


As you know and got miffed about, I personally am not a super fan of parroting movies or comics on boards, I mean it’s a given up to the starting point (in some cases), but more than half the fun is crafting your own unique stories, making your own mixes and concoctions and so forth. But that's just me, everyone is different and some people love that sort of thing, so whatever floats any given person’s boat is obviously fine. Just as it's obviously fine that I avoid those kind of storylines.

Sorry if any of that upsets you, because that wasn't my intent.

For the Xmen storyline Need more input on this. Dfid (digital frequency identification chip) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. There already implemented in cell phones and other devices. There is a conspiracy theory that this is the mark of the beast among religious factions. Also that this is against are constitutional rights as USA citizens.

In storyline we can say the president and government implemented that everyone has this chip for transactions, medical, security, law enforcement and so much more. To help fight against radical terrorism so now they can scan from a distance to ensure that terrorist stay off of planes and other scenarios. No more need for heroes or vigilantes all crime can be fought from a distance with the new and improved sentinels and other various drones.

There is going to be more to this. Looking for the mods approval.

[Super Chick]

I would say no to the use of Sentinels since they destroyed Genosha after the Civil War (or during it, I forget). I do not think any government is willing to utilize them at this point. At least not publicly.

As for the RFiD chip being mandatory, it can be said to be a law that an especially fear-mongering, fanatical Senator is trying to pass through Congress, but I don't want it to be a fact that it has or is happening. It can be an idea being tossed around in the media and on Capital Hill, but nothing beyond that in permanence.

Concerning that, however, it could be something that is trying to be pushed onto mutants and Supers first - making it more applicable to conflict on the board.

First thing. Mand we need to know what your doing... please? You could just fix your post to Nightcrawler disappearing severely hurt maybe have him save the now injured other two first. It will just appear that there dead. Even if it was going by what was in the comics cause technically we are still in the beginning issues of that one. I think that happens in xforce vol 2 26 or 27 We could say Elixir finds them later if this is all ok with the mods so you only have to change a little bit.


Okay Superchick, so I will make some corrections before we can set it up will mention it in the war room for a later subject then. So could I do something with the legacy virus for the storyline" Hidden Inside"? There was stuff with that in the comics about the same time xforce vol 2 7-12.

[Deleted]

Yeah my two cents again:

Don't mention other storylines under another storyline's heading, or at least include it so that a person knows where to look. Try to stick to specific storylines, I think the vast majority of proffered storylines are yours, but I'm not sure how many if any have reached a conclusion. Please don't post a thread with a storyline in mind, before actually putting up the storyline, and leaving your initial post open ended, as if it's predicated on someone else picking up the ball and running with it.

I had written a Wolvie post, wherein he's in the War Room and the reason for the call was Kurt's assumed death. But obviously that's not the angle you've got in mind so I'll scrap it. But sans an actual direction, you're kind of leaving it entirely open to others to push it in a direction that you might not want it going in.

Doesn't have to be a virus, you've still got Purifiers killing mutants left and right with no hint at a resolution one way or another, and I realize that's because Mando has kind of vanished, but call me crazy, I generally prefer to finish things out rather than having tons of dangling unfinished storylines and leaping onto the next mini-plot bandwagon. Makes things less confusing...
