"People are afraid of what they do not understand. An alien invasion in New York, a handsome God dropping to us from the heavens, a former icon of a war hero found as a popsicle and now walks among the living. These spectacles people fear, but yet so invite into their very fabric of reality. They embrace the machinations of man, if it be a miracle such as The Iron Man, or a bane of existence as The Ultron proved to this world. But, if it revolves around man, they at least understand the concept. But for the other ones. For us, who've lived and lived beyond the confounds of privacy and secrecy for so long... they don't understand us. Human evolution. There was a time the Inhumans were peaceful in privacy, until it all came to light. Now today, they are perceived as radical freaks of immediate and discriminatory threat to the same world who promised to keep it safe. That is why. EXACTLY why we remain in the shadows. We are them, they are us, the misunderstood, but if they knew our power...our brilliant gift. That we don't need genetic splicing for our gifts to activate, that we are the next pinnacle in human evolution. That we are independent from Terragenesis, the world would go up in arms against us, who only wish to be embraced as the Captain America's. We have the right to have a right.
But I fear that will never be."
Excerpt from anonymous secret book titled 'Extinction', signed by the anonymous author known as 'X'.
The Inhuman reveal of the past half decade has taken the country up in arms and controversy about the rights and privileges of these now enhanced, and greatly altered beings, that some even question the humanity of. Laws, debates, activism, all now in a swirl of chaos and political strife as the one, key facet is faced in today's society: Are the Inhumans worthy, entitled, or even beneficial of human rights? Yeah, well, if only the world knew that there was another. The world was never alone, Inhumans have been around for thousands of years, but what's even more dark under that grave fact...is that there lies an offset genetic cousin of the Inhumans...one that's existed for centuries. And unlike the Inhumans, they don't need genetically engineered catalysts to activate a new beacon of the body. They are capable of doing that all on their own. No one has even heard of this such truth, not a whisper. Not until the 1970's. Tales of children being kept prisoner with "gifts from the gods". They were thought to be Inhuman, but when unsanctioned reports spread of "terrible power from the soul of men", this was translated into something far worse. The threat of evolution was here. The 1980's, it was only two groups in the world that looked into and gathered intel reports on the validity of such fables. One was known as HYDRA, a shell organization of Nazi-separates who believed in power from the unknown.
And the other. The other doesn't exist.
At one time it was known as The Hellfire Club to those who also believed in them. They were fabled to know that there was a force greater than human will, that even was higher than the beings worshipped as gods. No one ever got wind of credibility in the secret and clandestine elite sect of individuals, but the breadcrumbs of the unknown have bleak tales of a group of beings in the 80's and 90's, very spread out and very illicit in sighting, report, and validity. They very small percentage of populus that believed in these tales of grandeur and myths simply called them "The X-Men". A group of selective individuals who helped shape some key events of national and even world famous moments. No one knows if these men existed, or if they walked in benevolence or malevolence, but if you ask some. They were here. And if you ask even fewer. They ARE here. Among us. They are...
This is the Official OOC for The Uncanny X-Men, the RP that will take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring the most important group in all of Marvel other than The Avengers! The political, racial, and intelligent themes included in X-Men and the message of unity in individuality, difference, and outcasts always was why I loved the titular characters associated with them. And now I've created a story that will represent all of those things, while kicking a little bit of ass with some epic characters and powers! The Tone for this RP will be a feeling of morality vs. loyalty, and what's right vs what's needed in the world and today's society. The action will be sort of Kingsman like (grand but zany), and the plot will be intimate yet well thought like the recent James Bond Films.
If you have any questions/concerns please PM me or tag me, and for your sake... READ. THE. RULES.
DEMS DA RULEZ
1. The main common one. Respect Iwaku and its rules.
2. Any questions or intrigue about the plot or story come to me! I love hearing ideas even if we don't incorporate them.
3. OOC will be friendly and respectful. IC be extra and add flair all you'd like BUT...
4. BE REASONABLE. Realistically adapt and grow into abilities and make logical choices. You can control weather? Know that you will not begin with master continue or creating storms at will. Go into a very secure Army base tossing fireballs alone? Your IC has ended lol.
5. I do not mind if you guys subplot romance. Just keep it PG-13 and not TOO detailed.
6. & 7. Try to have UNIQUE characters. And check the INcheck link to see some exceptions to characters that will be available to play. If you didn't know from the InCheck, the process for selecting characters will be B-List characters (X-Men or general Marvel characters who haven't been adapted in the MCU), or OC's that have MCU ties no matter how big or small. CANON MAIN MCU CHARACTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RP. This is it's own story. Cameos can occur however.
8. If you cannot post due to IRL or other reasons please post in consideration of everyone else. I'm interpreting this RP to go relatively fast pace wise not too speedy, so if you need assistance ask and you shall receive! And...
9. If you do fall too far behind or get in a hole you cant climb out of that doesn't mean you're done for. Unless you're intentionally a jerk or going against the tide of the plot, you can get back up to pace.
10. If you band together, or fight amongst each other IC, coordinate with each other as I will be overseeing those situations with a final outcome, but stay true to character and abilities. Don't force it just because you wanna "be great"
11. HAVE FUNNNNNNNN!!!!!
12. Now, if you read, accept, and understand all rules: At the end of your CS, write a sentence mentioning a known MCU character that would be true to your character.
