Gangs of NYX [Feb. 20th, 2009|09:28 am]

The 1970s gave rise to many socio-cultural revolutions: the environmental movement , feminism, egalitarianism, communalism, the sexual revolution, pop psychiatry and self-help. But none of these were so radical or publicly criticized as the mutant revolution. Born with genetic alterations that gave them abilities beyond those of normal humans, the people known as Mutants are hated and feared.

Amid fear, prejudice and violence on both sides, the mutant revolution quickly grew to become a national crisis. The government dealt with this threat by creating Mutant Town, a small ghetto in New York City to house these people. Humans living in the nearby areas terrorize the mutants and a special police unit known as The Sentinels keeps them inside, while turning a blind eye to the atrocities committed in the name of homo sapien.

Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, two mutants who in another time and place would be great leaders, decided that their home and brethren need to be protected. And so the two formed the gang known as The Brotherhood of Mutants; the costumes and codenames that in another world would signify them as heroes representing their unity as a gang. The Brotherhood began to protect the streets of Mutant Town from outsiders, troublemakers, and the racist, skinhead gang The Friends of Humanity, whether it's through fights, extortion, patrolling their turf or setting a few examples.

Even as the mutants deal with the Friends of Humanity and their ilk, tension begins to brew under the surface. Should the gang include humans in their ranks, as Mutant Town houses a sizable human population? For that matter should Mutant Town be for mutants only? Differences among the gang members, and its leaders, begin to divide the mutants that were once united. Can Charles, aka "X", and Erik, aka "Magneto", find common ground for the Brotherhood of Mutants?

They could run New York City. These are the gangs of NYX.

player information.



With tolerance for mutants, and response time of police officials to city issues cut in half, the X-Men and other super humans became obsolete. By this time, a safe haven was something of an old civil rights tale, and the Xavier mansion as we know it was transformed into a full fledged museum. The Manor, previously used to house and train mutants, now is one of the top twenty must see places in the upper east coast. The X-Men slipped out of the limelight, in order to attempt normal lives and making families. Some settled down in the city of New York, being offered housing for virtually free from the president, for their protection and serving to the United States for decades. Some took other locations, with their primary goal to separate their past life with their new one.

The X-Men are something of old Hollywood celebrities, 25 years later. Their children, receiving somewhat of the same treatment critics in Gossip magazines give, much like the stars to today's Gossip Girls, or even casts of famous movies. Some have embraced this born into instant stardom thing, others have found themselves commodities for obsessed X-Men fans, to something that their parents were involved in years and years prior. The Xavier dream is for the most part, very much accomplished, and the general population of mutants live in peace. The invention of a maximum security prison outside of the city, keeps those whom oppose this ideal pursuit for happiness. Many super villains reside in this prison, known to the public as Crossmore. Those who don't mind the merge, live and cope as well. Villainous activity merely being a figment in their past as well.

Mutants are a fact in every day life, now accompanying over 78% of the population. They are no longer feared, and instead accepted as a normality. (read the rest of our premise for the full details!)
wanted vivien beaubier, sean madrox-rourke, aleksander rasputin, harley collins, elle frost, henri ford, rochelle darkholme, julien starsmore, victoria summers, liberty atkins, paxton guthrie, sahar al-bin'rad, alexis keller, caleb madrox, camilla richter, etienne lebeau, jonas wagner, sorin maximoff... and many more to claim!

other information Game set 25 years in the future (from 2005) -- 2030. Unique, different premise. The only thing we have done, is set realistic pairings (which really, had to be done), and offer first names. Aren't you tired of seeing games where Emma has 5 kids with three different baby daddies!? Everything is up to what you feel! Their first names can be negotiable, yet everything else (their personality, history, etc.) is all up for you to decide! Have fun with this! Haven't you at one time wondered how their children would have been? We offer Original Characters (no x-men-related parents) as well. 76 available character combinations. Should be a fun time. Come on down, the price is right! :)

GAME OPENS WITH 12 APPLICATIONS!
