I know we're all still settling in and working the kinks out, so I thought this would be a good time to bring up something that hasn't become an issue, but that has the potential to be.
While there will obviously be some liberties taken with things for the sake of fiction and for enabling game play, we do need to keep some things reasonably realistic. That does include things like legal consideration for minor characters. You have to have a guardian, you need permission from that guardian to do field trips off grounds/the surrounding town or to do anything that carries more than a nomal risk of physical injury. You need to have insurance, or covered by the school's. Behavior that is illegal, destructive to property, or dangerous, could get you kicked off the team, out of the school, handed over to the proper authorities. Overnight trips are probably not going to happen outside Spring/Summer break, and with quite a bit of advanced notice/planning. If teachers and their students are sleeping together, you better pray like hell that Sean and Warren never, ever find out about it.
Just, in general, please be careful. We trust you, and you're more than welcome to create and play and develop. Just be aware of basic rules of logic and legality, please. We don't want this to be a short-term, crack filled game that depends on suspending disbelief from the rafters. Yes, it's Marvel, and comes with crack, but we're trying to keep it at a level we can sustain in the universe that we have and are creating. A universe that already thinks that our characters are dangerous, and set in a school that also houses a team of mutants that is *used by the government* for *government* benefit (at the moment). We can't buck everything all to hell with any degree of believability.
This is not because we want to be bitches. We're not telling you that you can't do those things. We are telling you that you need to be careful, and be aware. If your character is going to do something illegal, in general, it can not do be with the knowledge and consent of the school administrators. If they're 'found out' IC, there will be IC consequences. We'll do everything we can to warn you if you're going down the path of no return with your character, and try to help you find a way out of it.
I know that was rambling and a bit disjointed and less than perfectly clear. Mostly because we do trust you all, and aren't interested in making rules for specific events, or limiting what you're allowed to play. We just need you to be aware that if you're, for instance, playing a college student supplying alcohol to a high school one, you're doing something that could get them kicked out of school and arrested.
