NEW X-MEN GAME RULES

These Rules are to be followed to the letter if possible.

Rules By The GMs

-----------------------------------------------------------
Greetings, and welcome to The New X-Men (Marvel Freeform)! 
This page contains information about the game setting, commonly observed rules, and the guidelines for characters.

Rules to Observe

1) Mature Game Rating
This game is rated Mature.  Players must confirm they have read and agree with RPoL's rules and guidelines for playing in a Mature game. (Mature means that you have to watch your language it's a pg13 rating, meaning if you curse it looks like this F***. There is a ten year old (played by me) that you must watch what you say around.)

2) No Godmodding
You are responsible only for the actions of your characters.  Do not determine the actions/reactions for other characters or NPCs without the expressed permission of whomever normally controls them.

3) Writing, Speaking and Thinking
Posts are expected to be in third-person format.  When your character speaks, include quotation marks.  When your character is thinking, include apostrophes and put the thought text in italics.  Highlighting spoken or thought text with other colors is optional and to the player's preference.

4) In-Game Conflict
If you perform an action that has consequences or may be contested by other players/NPCs, do not assume it succeeds unless you have permission from the Thread Leader.

5) Out-of-Game Conflict
If you have a disagreement with another player, please discuss it in PMs.  If an agreement cannot be reached, please contact the designated Thread Leader or a GM.

6) Final Say
The Thread Leader and the GMs have the final authority in any given situation.  If you disagree with their rulings, please contact them in a PM and discuss your perspective in a calm, polite manner.  They are strongly encouraged to take such information into consideration, but please understand that they have the final say in any matter.

There are three kinds of gaming threads in The New X-Men (Marvel Freeform).

Main Story
This reflects the world, and what is "currently" going on.  Players are expected to participate in the main story.  It is run by the GMs, though the actions and decisions made by the players will strongly influence what happens.

Side Story
Side stories cover events that have happened in the game world, but are outside the normal flow of time.  They are used to tell what happened in a character's life, reveal background on important events, or how a particular event took place.  These are often for pure RP flavor and character development. (They are called 'A Day In The Life.')

Spin-Off (Reflections)
Spin-offs or Reflections are alternate reality stories, involving the existing characters but having something changed in their life, leading them down a different path.  They can include events outside of the game, or can parody events that have happened with a pivotal change.  These events have not taken place in the existing game world, and and are always done for pure RP flavor and the fun of it.  A Spin-Off is run either by the GMs or a designated Thread Leader.

Submissions for Reflections
Reflection: The name of the thread/events
Thread Leader (s): Whomever are thread leaders in charge of the thread.
Setting: The theme and location where the Reflection is taking place.
Intro: The opening post that sets the stage for the game.

NEW X-MEN SETTING

Professor Charles Xavier has died.  Details of his death are not public, but some believed it was an assassination.  Within two weeks following Xavier's death, investigations seemed to lead to someone within the Brotherhood being responsible.  During a heated confrontation between several prominent members of both factions, something went terribly wrong, leading to the deaths of almost all of them - including Magneto.

In the following weeks, other figureheads of mutant rights and icons of leadership have either died or have gone missing.  The mutant community is in an uproar, and tempers flare hotter then ever before.  They are directionless, without guidance - and it was only a matter of time before someone retaliated.  This forced the government to put several cities under martial law.  A private security company, the Monolith Group, is working in conjunction with the government, and has helped to lock down the cities in an effort to track down those who are responsible.  However, the Monolith Group has been taking more extreme measures, arresting and collecting known associates and family members of known mutants for interrogation.  The severe reaction has bought a short period of peace, but has inflamed the problem and will only escalate in time.

But there are still people out there who are trying to put a stop to it.  There are people who will come to influence the world, becoming leaders and soldiers to do what they think is right.  From the flames of chaos, they will forge a new era - but what kind of era is up to you.
