Xavier Academy - a Marvel Alliance RPG: Sign up and Discussion (Upgraded)

[Tami]

It's time for Xavier Academy to get an Upgrade. The story will continue where we left off, however there will be some changes. The story will move beyond the walls of the school more often and out into the world. There will still be classes, but these will be De-emphasized in favor of story development.

To that end, I am instituting a new Measure of Experience. I ask all students to repost their Bios Here, adding their TOTAL Experience Points to the Bios. Anyone who wants to add points for Life Experience or Extra-Curricula Training/Activities, PM me or post the request here. I will consider these requests and assign points as needed.

Feed back is always Welcome!

Experience Points: [Experience Points will be awarded for each significant Experience that a student participates in. This means that the Points won’t always be awarded to ‘Everyone’ at the same time at all times. But in the end it will all add up. These points are a sign of evolution, growth and development. As the points increase, powers can develop and evolve. Skills and knowledge are also measured by these points. As well as Martial Arts Rankings and Grade Levels. Points will also be permitted for Life-Experience Prior to becoming a Student on a case by case basis, as well as special out-of-school training.

If the student was involved in the following actions, they already have earned the points listed below:

• Destruction of Xavier Academy (Pre-Semester): 3 points

• Nature Hike: 1 point
• Wolverine’s Intro to Martial Arts: 1 point for ALL Students

Every 25 Points grants the student an Up-Grade in their powers, a New Skill, or a New Power as long as it is NOT as powerful as or more so than as the Student’s original Power. I reserve the right to review and to either approve or disapprove a power. You may save the save the points for later, or use it right away.

Mentor (Optional): [Some students have made relationships with one or more of the teachers, or others who act as mentors. If so, or if your students desires a Mentor, you can list it here.]

[Vakanai]

Name: Arthur D. Drakson

Code Name: Whatever is assigned to him.

Age: 13

Appearance: Light brown hair, hazel eyes, freckled, average height and size for his age. Lean, slightly athletic build. Light to medium tan.

Background: He lived a normal, middle class life in Florida. He went to the school, he was bullied, he went to the beach, he fished, it was all normal. Until blades began growing out of his hands (think less Wolverine's claws just popping out and more like the slow growth of horns). Sharp, hard, blades, that could become electrically charged. People got upset, and he tried running away. He didn't exactly make it very far, being untrained in survival and all that. Eventually his parents found him, and he was taken to Xavier's Academy.

Mutant Power(s): Primary - Sword-like blades that extend out of his arms/hands. One blade per hand. Unlike Wolverine's claws, these do not sheath, so he's always walking around with one-and-a-half foot blades, which makes doing some things awkward (he eats by himself, less chance of cutting someone while reaching for your sandwich). Minor - His body produces electricity like an eel, and this electric attack can be channeled through his blades. Basically in combat, anything that touches his blades is going to get shocked.

Other Skills and Interests: Skills - Probably nothing of any use. Fishing, baseball (playing, not watching), nature hikes, swimming (he used to be on his school's swim team), and chess. Interests - He's interested in magic and technology. Because they're 'cool'.

Grade Level: Freshman I guess? Whatever fits his age.

Martial Arts Belt Color/Ranking: Being new I doubt he's taken Wolvie's class yet. So none.

Experience Points: Probably none so far.

How's this?

Name: Azrael Von Ganz

Code Name: Erebus

Age: 17

Appearance: Silver hair, brown eyes (flecked with gold), above average height for his age (6'2"), athletic build/slightly muscular, dark tan skin, diagonal scar in between eyes (runs from right eye to left cheekbone)

Background: Adopted by a rich family in Switzerland, he was given everything a child could want, he went to private schools and later schooled in Japan shortly, but he never really fit in anywhere due to his intelligence and was rather quiet as a result. He took up the ark of kendo and took an interest in ninjitsu, as a way to relieve stress, and quickly started a rivalry with one of the other students, the rivalry escalated to the point where he was challenged to a fight using katana instead of shinai. Pride getting the better of him he accepted, during the duel his face was cut, he had a meltdown and it triggered his power, the explosion destroyed the section of the school they were in and severely damaged several students. Afraid to return to his adoptive parents, he used what money he had to make his way to the Xavier Academy

In times of extreme stress or anger he loses control of his abilities and due to the nature of Anti-Matter becomes quite destructive as a result.

Thank you.

If there's any problems, let me know and I can fix them.

The power has me a little concerned. Anti-matter is not something to be taken lightly. If he did produce antimatter he could instantly destroy everything around him. The school would not be safe.

How about toning it down, making it that he can will his body to create minute amount of antimatter, just enough to create small explosions or disintegrate a small amount of matter.

An increase in durability is fine. Strength and Speed might be a bit too much.

Also, he can't attend the school unless he is a junior high or High school student. If he is of college age or has already attended college then the school can't help him. There are College Level students who act as Teaching Assistants at times. But they are all experienced Mutants or graduates of the Academy.

These are my only concerns.

That would work, as long as he'd be able to generate more antimatter as his control over his power grew.

Good, but he would actually be in 8th grade and his Belt Color is White. If he doesn't have them already, the school will provide a special covering or Sheath for his blades so he doesn't cut anyone or anything by accident.

[Ben D]

Name: Arnold Huynh.

Code Name: Altitude

Age: 13

Appearance: An Asian American child at about 5 feet and 5 inches. He has a Bieber type hair cut and wears glasses.

Background: Arnold lived in the city of Alameda and went to a school called Nea Community Learning Center when his powers first became noticeable. At first everyone seemed to be fine about it and he was allowed to stay there but then an Anti-Mutant Mayor was elected and made major anti-mutant laws. Eventually his parents called for help and were directed to the Xavier Academy. Arnold is very shy and doesn't talk much.

Mutant Power(s): His powers reflect his emotion at times and are weather regulated. When he's said, it becomes rainy or moist, when he's angry it become hot. At first however, he only realizes that he can fly.

Initial Powers - Flight

Other Skills and Interests: Knows kick boxing and is a master strategist.

Grade Level: 8th grade.

Martial Arts Belt Color/Ranking: White Belt

Experience points: None.

[WickedElphaba]

Name: Meara Abernathy

Code Name Splash

Age: 15

Grade Level: 11 (she skipped a year)

Appearance: Sort of like this, with regular clothing.


Background: Meara was adopted as an infant by a wealthy family living in Nantucket, MA. The Abernathys' have old money, and have been in the area for generations. When Thomas and Jenny Abernathy discovered they couldn't have children, they adopted Meara through a private agency which has since dissolved. Nothing is known of Meara's birth parents.

Despite the privileges associated with wealth, Meara didn't seem to fit in with her family or environment. Her parents sent her to boarding school early on, as they too were never able to make the connection with her as they hoped. She had few friends, and was a quiet observer in most of her boarding school social situations.

The one area where she excelled was in swimming classes and in meets. Prior to the manifestation of her powers, she was the two time state champion for swimming. She found peace in the water, and spent much of her free time there.

Puberty was difficult for her, as it is for most. Strangely, her previously-brown hair both lightened and took on a blue hue, and eventually turned blue entirely. Most simply thought it was a typical rich girl's rebellious expression.

When her powers came, the embarrassment to her parents was so thick that they did everything they could to keep it from becoming known. They would have been the laughing stock of their social circle.

So, as she was used to, Meara was shipped off to yet another boarding school, more exclusive than any others she had been in: Xavier's Academy.

Mutant Powers: Meara has the ability to psionically control water. She can levitate it, shape it, and use it in many ways with several effects.

She is able to alter the density of water by flooding each molecule of water to make it solid enough to perform physical tasks, such as picking up items or moving them. Essentially, she can manipulate water as a crude form of telekinesis (she calls it aquakinesis). While her control of the water is comfortable, she is still developing finesse; picking up small items requires concentration, and she typically shapes the water in the form of hands and directs it with her own hands to ease the needed concentration.

While she cannot generate water, her power is strong enough that she can draw the moisture in the air together and use for simple activities, unless she is in a particularly arid location. She is able to sense the location of water near her.

Meara's lungs are able to draw oxygen from water in sufficient quantities to allow her to breathe underwater indefinitely, and her eyes are sharp enough that she can function visually in the minimal light available in deep seas. Furthermore, her body can survive both the cold and pressure of deep sea water.

Martial Arts Belt Color/Ranking: White

Other Skills and Interests: Meara is an excellent swimmer (even without the use of her powers). She attended and excelled at the best private schools in the country, and as a result, her education level is approximately one year ahead of her age. She can communicate with an intermediate degree of skill in both Spanish and French. Meara also has musical talent, and can play the piano, guitar and flute. She is a powerful singer with enough ability to be a professional, both popular and opera styles. Her artistic trifecta is completed with being a talented dancer.

Mentor: Kitty Pryde

Equipment: Meara always carries with her a 32 ounce stainless steel water bottle. Inside, she has compressed water using her ability so that it holds 2 gallons of water.

Experience Points: 12, I think?

[Tami]

Name: Arnold Huynh.

Code Name: Assign it to me please

Age: 13

Appearance: An Asian American child at about 5 feet and 5 inches. He has a Bieber type hair cut and wears glasses.

Initial Powers - Flight

Other Skills and Interests: Knows kick boxing and is a master strategist.

Grade Level: 8th grade.

Martial Arts Belt Color/Ranking: Um I'm a bit confused on this part. If they're new they have none, correct?

Experience points: None.

I didn't realize that we would be getting so many new students...which is good. For those who are new and have never had Martial Arts Training, they still receive the White Belt. I will post the Belt colors in case anyone isn't sure.

His powers, Flight is always good. His Weather Powers should be low level, No big storms or anything like that for now. I approve the powers.

As for Code Name, perhaps something like 'Altitude' reflecting both his ability to fly high and the changes in atmospheric conditions. Let me know if you are comfortable with that. If not, we can come up with some thing else.
