Before the X OOC

About:

The Game Concept:

Charles Xavier is a 37 year old philanthropist. He taught at New York University for 10 years before publicly announcing he was starting his own college preparatory school. The class sizes would be small and -importantly- invitation only. He spent a year preparing his mansion in upstate New York to become a school. In late March he sent invitations all over to join his school. But only to very special young people. all the people who received a letter from Charles Xavier were mutants, found with his machine, Cerebro. It's the first month of Charles Xavier's school for the Gifted- the first month ever. He invited no siblings, no one who had ever met. Everyone would be fresh to each other and to him.

Character Information:

1) Your character is between the ages of 14 and 21. It's a prep school. Students only, no teachers.
2) Your characters have never met before. Ever. Not even in passing.
3) Yes, I know, quite often characters canonly have back story built into each other. You are writers. Find a way around it. Invent new back story. Canon can be movie, comic, AU. Whatever you please.
4) Be aware that for the sake of smooth game play we may ask you to 'tone down' or remove crack from your profile. Yes, even if it's canon. We're going for a school.
5) Remember to play to your profile
6) Read the FAQ.

The Rules:

X:This game allows for graphic het and slash. If you're not 18, don't join.

X:There are some subjects that due to their incendiary nature will not be allowed. This is meant to be fun and light. These subjects are: rape, child abuse, torture, suicide and self-mutilation due to depression. More subjects may be added as necessary.

X:Keep IC drama IC. This should be a given but just in case it's not, we're telling you. Don't bitch about IC things OC. It's bad.

X:Please use appropriate warnings and cut tags for graphic sex, violence, and other not-work-safe material.

X:PBs can be only used once.

X:Our character cap at present is 5 characters . Please stay reasonable and keep your characters active.

X:All Characters are required to play once a week. Not post to their journals but actually participate role-play. If you hit two weeks of inactivity without giving notice you will be warned. At four weeks the journal will be removed from the communities- explanation IC is that they were sent home.

X:If a character causes constant disruption in game flow they will be warned. If they continue to cause disruption after the warning they will be removed.

X:Addendum to above: please get permission OOC (though contact post or PM) before using powers on another character.

X:Be aware that for the sake of smooth game play we may ask you to 'tone down' or remove crack from your profile. Yes, even if it's canon. We're going for a school

X:Play must be in third person, past tense.

X: Once an open is replied to, it is closed to those two characters unless another is invited to join. If a thread is already in progress in a post marked 'open' PM contact players involved and ask if you can join. That also establishes a posting order and makes things easier that way. However, if there's a post in a public area marked 'open to all' feel free to join that however/whenever/with whoever you want. Feel free to start those as well.

X:We don't have a lot of rules. Please don't break the few we do have. It'll make me cranky.

X: Please keep all ooc comments in the ooc journal.

X:If you need a mod for something, please PM
