The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning is a prestigious private school that gains students following personal visits from the Headmaster or the staff. Its doors opened in 1979 and has since then been a beacon of educational inspiration for those students who are shown to be exceptionally…gifted.

After a tragic accident that took the lives of both Charles Xavier and Jean Grey, Scott Summers and Erik Lehnsherr take over as Headmaster and run the school in his stead. The will asked for just that one thing: that the school continue to run and protect those who needed it and to help those that could not help themselves.

Erik has run the school as the Headmaster ever since, assisting in the creation of the X-Men teams (so named in deference to their fallen leader) who protect mutants from those who would seek to harm them as well as protecting those who cannot protect themselves from threats both mutant and non-mutant. Though not all is as it seems.

Erik has a plan of his own and only those closest to him know of it and this school, and its students - some of whom are from broken homes and ripe for manipulating and twisting - are all just pawns on the grand chess board of Erik's end game.

The Institute game is a non-movie compliant, open world X-Men game in an AU setting where you have a number of factions that your character can join or move between, we also allow up to 3 OCs per player provided two canon characters are picked up first. They can be an independent free spirit that works within the scope of the school just doing their own thing, an adult X-Man who tries to save the world and help out in their own little way or an adult who just wants to teach and help those kids. They could be a member of the Hellfire Club under the unscrupulous Sebastian Shaw, a student just trying to get by or a member of Magneto's hand-picked, subversive team. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants doesn't exist - overtly - in this game. Yet
