X-Men Genesis: OOC

On Friday, November 20th, 2009 (in-game), several simultaneous attacks by sentinels will occur in the New York area. During this evening, the X-Men will be separated into several teams to help control the damage and (hopefully) take out the sentinels. This is when Stryker will return to the mansion to finish what he started. He will succeed. After the attacks, there will have been news coverage where X-Men were capture on film. The decision to out them as a superhero team (by Xavier) will be up for debate. Those who would wish to remain out of the spotlight could so choose.

At any rate, we'll have four groups. Three groups will be fighting sentinels and one group will be defending the mansion. If you don't want your character(s) involved at all, you can say they're out of town. From November 16th (evening) to November 21st (morning), Mars, Zap, Brogan and Kiona will not be at the mansion.

So I need to hear from all of you if you wish for your characters to be out fighting sentinels or in fighting MRDs/Stryker. Super-powerful mutants or those with great control shouldn't be left at the school. We need for the Professor to get kidnapped. Please let us know what you think and where you'd like your characters to be!

INDIGO = NPC.
UNDERLINED = TEAM LEADER.

A lot of these choices were made based on comments here. Feel free to request changes/alterations.

The following will be an info!dump - a compilation of all the threads/pieces for the Liberty Island 'story arc'. Leigh and I would like everyone who wishes to be involved (or is for sure) to comment with their thoughts/hopes/suggestions.

FRIDAY (07-31-09, late night): Sabretooth hires Deadpool to help protect Magneto at Liberty Island, as well as with a kidnapping (of Mars and Zap). Deadpool agrees and they leave.

SUNDAY (08-02-09, late afternoon): Trance, Mars and Zap go to the mall in Westchester. Deadpool, Toad and Sabretooth sedate and kidnap Mars and Zap. Trance is let without transportation. He phones the mansion to let them know what's happened and for a ride back.

SUNDAY (08-02-09, late afternoon): While they were out, Mystique infiltrated the mansion and used Trance's appearance as a cover, since she knew for a fact he wasn't present. Raven sabotaged Cerebro and left. She relayed the information of the trio's departure from the school to her colleagues and they intercepted them at the mall.

SUNDAY (08-02-09, early evening): Senator Kelly will arrive at the school, having been kidnapped by Magneto and treated by his 'machine'. He escaped and will come to the school for (medical) help. He will be treated by Jean and Brian, and will explain to them about Magneto's plans. The Professor will go to Cerebro to locate Mars, Zap or anyone in the Brotherhood and will be injured due to Mystique's meddling with the machine.

SUNDAY (08-02-09, evening): Cyclops should decide to take a team to rescue their fellow X-Men and to attempt to stop Magneto from mutating the UN world leaders at the summit near Liberty Island. The team should be composed of: Himself, Jeanix, Storm, Diamond, Nightcrawler, Omen and Havok?. If anyone else would like their X-Man involved with this mission, please comment here.

The way things will pan out is up to everyone involved, but here are the facts...

Present Brotherhood: Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, Toad, Noir, Dukes, Deadpool (self-associated), Rogue?.
Present X-Men: Cyclops, Jeanix, Storm, Diamond, Nightcrawler, Omen, Havok?, Mars, Zap.

Mars and Zap will be unable to fight unless freed.
Emma and Jeanix's powers (telepathy) will not be able to be used against Magneto or Deadpool, and in turn, Emma cannot control minds while she is in diamond-form, so keep that in mind, baddies.
The Brotherhood will have placed Zap in/near the machine and threatened to kill Mars if she didn't power it. He should be chained somewhere near/on the torch.

OTHER THOUGHTS:
Kurt would really, really like to bamf! Deadpool into the open water to get rid of him (for a while).
Omen and Nightcrawler would be a good team to face Deadpool.
Emma (or Storm) and Noir could be interesting adversaries.
Dukes will be sabotaging Magneto's plans at some point, so if you have any suggestions for time/actions, let me know.
Summers brothers/Sabretooth could be interesting.
Toad/Jeanix is canon. What.
