The X-Men are a team of mutants, brought together by Professor [[Charles Xavier]], for the purpose of furthering human/mutant acceptance and integration by the following:
 
  
*1) Reduce the threat of hostile mutants
 
*2) Protect mutants from persecution and harm
 
*3) Provide a visible pro-mutant humanitarian force by aiding with incidents such as disaster relief.
 
  
 +
A proactive force designed to stop mutant terrorism and face hostile organizations. The X-Men represent the main arm of Xavier's in first contact and threat response. X-Men teams are flexible, deploying in groups based on the optimum power mix and abilities. A group of senior X-Men take over the leadership role in the field, again based on best suited to the circumstances. X-Men deploy for a wide range of issues, some of which are humanitarian, some combat based, and some are about safeguarding other mutants. Essentially maintaining a similar force as now with a similar mission, but willing to be more proactive and covert in the face of a much less supportive public.

During [[Magneto|Erik's]] time as co-headmaster at the school, he pushed for a more martial angle to powers training, teaching the students to fight with their powers as well as control them, leading to the creation of the Danger Room. [[Charles Xavier|Charles]] was reluctant - the concept was contrary to his dream of coexistence - but he agreed that in an anti-mutant world, their students needed the ability to protect themselves and others. Following their schism in 1994, Charles not only continued this training, but began plans for a strike force, fearing the path Magneto was heading down and seeing the need to be ready to counter him.

====Former/Inactive X-Men====
+
The team - called the X-Men after a school joke - was officially formed in 1999, with Cyclops as its leader. It was none too soon, with Magneto and his [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] attempting to turn the world's leaders into mutants in November of 2002, and then in May 2003, joining forces (briefly) with the team against [[William Stryker]] and [[X2|his plan to kill all mutants]]. The X-Men were able to stop both incidents, although it wasn't an easy task.
  
''* denotes [[:Category: Unplayed Characters|character available for application]].''
+
Membership is entirely voluntary, but does require a minimum level of training and fitness. Recruits are taken from the [[Generation X]] members, as well as from individuals with previous training who come to [[The Mansion|the mansion]]. Each member is required to do regular comms room duty, scanning various media and law enforcement sources for potential issues, and to participate in regular Danger Room training, both as individuals and as teams. [[Dominion]] and [[Cyclops]] are responsible for programming the training scenarios.  
  
'''Personal Leave/Sabbatical'''
+
The X-Men work in conjunction with the other teams, often following up on information provided by [[X-Force]] in situations too large for them to handle, or providing back up for [[X-Factor]] (or passing on cases that they don't have the resources to follow up). And of course, when the students get in trouble, it's all hands on deck to get them out again.

'''Uniforms''': The standard X-Men uniform is a black leather jacket and pants combination, with minor design customizations for each team member. The uniform design includes [[SHIELD]] liquid body armor and boron carbide composite, introduced initially by [[Clint Barton]] to [[Miles Morales]] and [[Peter Parker]] [https://xp-logs.dreamwidth.org/3686821.html#cutid1 for their Spider-suits] and then later made accessible to the X-Men and [[:Category: Teams|other teams]], although the X-Men are the only team who wear a combat uniform. These additions mean the team uniforms are lighter and more flexible as well as having increased protection. The uniform is also insulated against temperature extremes, and is lightweight enough to be worn year-round. 
  
'''[[West Coast Annex]]'''
+
Various team members have customized their uniforms to better utilize or focus aspects of their powers. Polaris' uniform has approximately 40 pounds of steel incorporated into the lining that she can manipulate with her powers. Wildchild's uniform has special boots which have the toes cut off so he can use his foot claws. Nightcrawler's has a sheath for his tail and lightweight, specialised shoes (much like what gymnasts wear) to allow him to cling to walls and such.

===Team Structure===
 
 
 
The wide range of missions dealt with by the team requires that the team itself be flexible and cover a wide range of options. There are also the legal ramifications involved with exposing prospective new team members to danger, plus the changing nature of the team roster over time.
 
 
 
In [[September 2009]], with the departure of Cyclops to the West Coast Annex, the team was forced to reassess their operational tactics. Down to just one team leader, it became necessary for a more flexible model to be followed, with mission leaders being chosen according to their skills and experience with specific situations and Storm allowing them to then choose the team they thought best suited. So far it has proven to be a successful experiment, even more so with Storm's departure from the team.
 
 
 
 
 
====X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue and X-Men Black====
 
 
 
Formerly, the X-Men were organized into three sub-teams, each with a Field Leader and secondary leader, informally referred to as the "CO" and "XO". These leadership teams (Cyclops/Cannonball, Storm/Nightcrawler, and Dazzler/Jetstream) usually selected the appropriate team members for a mission depending on mission parameters.
 
 
 
 
 
With the departure of Dazzler and Jetstream, as well as several other active X-Men, the concept of separate X-Men teams has been abandoned.
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
====Trainees====
 
 
 
The criteria to become an X-Men trainee are as follows:
 
 
 
* Be eighteen years of age '''OR''' be seventeen and have written permission to train from your parent/guardian.
 
 
 
* To be a student in good standing if currently enrolled in high school.
 
 
 
The training regimen to join the X-Men involves studying past missions, individual powers work, as well as a training program designed to test not only a potential X-Man's capability to use their powers effectively, but also their judgment and discipline. After successfully completing training to the satisfaction of the team leaders and passing both physical and psychological evaluation, a trainee can be moved onto the full team roster. A student cannot become a trainee before the age of seventeen, and a trainee cannot be made a full X-Man before the age of eighteen.
 
 
 
As trainees, potential X-Men are often given a code name of a humorous nature, as part of a good-natured "hazing" from their seniors. Trainee code names are designed to acclimate trainees to the idea that as X-Men, they are expected to put their personal agendas aside and operate as a team.
 
 
 
Trainees do go on missions, generally as observers or to fulfill vital roles with as little personal risk as possible. They are expected to obey instructions, especially those regarding staying out of danger - disobeying such instructions can be reason to rescind the person's trainee status.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
''OOC: Please see the [[Trainee FAQ]] for more information on what is expected of players of trainees.''
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
====Auxiliaries====
 
 
 
The X-Men have a sort of joint auxiliary/support system, composed of both former team members who could be called upon in emergencies as well as people who have not gone through team training but still had specific skills that could aid the team in some manner. Due to their lack of regular training with the team, they are only used on a "as required" basis.
 
 
 
'''Former Auxiliaries:'''

'''Current Auxiliaries:'''
 
 
 
*[[Magma]]
 
 
 
*[[Skin]]
 
 
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
====West Coast Annex====
 
 
 
In [[April 2006]] the creation of the [[West Coast Annex]] was announced. The Annex was intended to be a place for those X-Men needing futher training and some time off from the mansion. [[Dazzler]] and [[Jetstream]] founded the Annex, and were later joined by [[Colossus]], [[Angel (X-Man)|Angel]], [[Jubilee| Firecracker]] and [[Multiple Man]]. In [[September 2009]] [[Cyclops]] and [[Phoenix]] were asked by Charles to develop a West Coast team and relocated from the mansion, with [[Forge]] joining them not long after. Colossus, Angel and Phoenix have since returned to the mansion and Firecracker is now a member of X-Force.
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
====Intel====
 
 
 
Between 2003 and the beginning of 2005 [[Pete Wisdom]] provided his experience and contacts in espionage to the team, investigating potential threats, trying to locate villains such as [[Magneto]] and the [[Brotherhood of Mutants]], going with the team on missions that required a certain degree of stealth that his training had provided. However, with his departure in [[February 2005]] and [[Hellfire and Damnation| apparent defection to the Hellfire Club]], a gap appeared in the team's resources.
 
  
 +
Specialized facilities include:
  
The gap was filled by [[Remy LeBeau]], who was seeking to [[Devil In My Mind| atone for his crimes as Gambit]] by keeping the school safe. He recruited [[Jake Gavin]] and [[Betsy Braddock]] to assist him and during 2005 they attempted to counter any possible threat caused by Pete's defection as well as continue the work he had done.
+
*The Box: A small room intended for the short-term recovery of psionically-sensitive mutants. "The Box", as it has been termed, was designed by Charles Xavier and [[Magneto - Phase 1| Erik Lehnsherr]] in such a manner that psionic powers do not extend beyond its boundaries, thus effectively sequestering a psi from the rest of the world for purposes of containment or recuperation.
  
 +
*A reinforced room designed to withstand superhuman strength and destructive powers. This room has been shown to be able to contain a mutant of Rogue's physical strength.
  
With [[Operation: Opening Salvo| the departure of Pete, Betsy and Remy]] and the return of Jake to [[Infonet]], the team largely relies on its own resources for intelligence, including connections with various police and government agencies and [[Cable]]'s contacts from his days as a mercenary. There is also informal co-operation between [[X-Force]] and the X-Men, although given the public profile of many of the X-Men missions, this co-operation remains covert.

First Seen: January 2015




A proactive force designed to stop mutant terrorism and face hostile organizations. The X-Men represent the main arm of Xavier's in first contact and threat response. X-Men teams are flexible, deploying in groups based on the optimum power mix and abilities. A group of senior X-Men take over the leadership role in the field, again based on best suited to the circumstances. X-Men deploy for a wide range of issues, some of which are humanitarian, some combat based, and some are about safeguarding other mutants. Essentially maintaining a similar force as now with a similar mission, but willing to be more proactive and covert in the face of a much less supportive public.

During Erik's time as co-headmaster at the school, he pushed for a more martial angle to powers training, teaching the students to fight with their powers as well as control them, leading to the creation of the Danger Room. Charles was reluctant - the concept was contrary to his dream of coexistence - but he agreed that in an anti-mutant world, their students needed the ability to protect themselves and others. Following their schism in 1994, Charles not only continued this training, but began plans for a strike force, fearing the path Magneto was heading down and seeing the need to be ready to counter him.

The team - called the X-Men after a school joke - was officially formed in 1999, with Cyclops as its leader. It was none too soon, with Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants attempting to turn the world's leaders into mutants in November of 2002, and then in May 2003, joining forces (briefly) with the team against William Stryker and his plan to kill all mutants. The X-Men were able to stop both incidents, although it wasn't an easy task.

Recruits are taken from the Generation X members, as well as from individuals with previous training who come to the mansion. Each member is required to do regular comms room duty, scanning various media and law enforcement sources for potential issues, and to participate in regular Danger Room training, both as individuals and as teams.

The X-Men work in conjunction with the other teams, often following up on information provided by X-Force in situations too large for them to handle, or providing back up for X-Factor (or passing on cases that they don't have the resources to follow up). And of course, when the students get in trouble, it's all hands on deck to get them out again.

Regular Duties

Team duties:

- Comms duty

- Scheduling Danger Room rotations and programming scenarios

- Training exercises (the Danger Room, basic physical and combat training, powers training, etc)

- Reviewing and updating team records (mission logs, threat assessment, villain profiles)

- Familiarization with equipment such as the DR, the Blackbird, the comms system, etc.


Investigation of:

- Reports of violent manifestations

- Tips and intel brought by friends/informants, X-Force or X-Factor

- Media reports about mutants and mutant activities

Equipment

Danger Room: the specialised training room.


Blackbird: the modified jet used to travel to missions.


Uniforms: The standard X-Men uniform is a black leather jacket and pants combination, with minor design customizations for each team member. The uniform design includes SHIELD liquid body armor and boron carbide composite, introduced initially by Clint Barton to Miles Morales and Peter Parker for their Spider-suits and then later made accessible to the X-Men and other teams, although the X-Men are the only team who wear a combat uniform.

Medical Facilities

The infirmary complex is located in the basement of the mansion. It contains a full surgical operating theater, as well as a separate series of rooms (colloquially known as "Medlab") for specialized treatment dealing with severe medical cases or those related to mutations. There are a number of private recovery rooms, as well as offices for the medical personnel on staff. There is a general examination room/waiting room that is accessible by all mansion residents, with the remainder of the medical complex generally restricted to staff or those students assisting the doctors.

Specialized facilities include:

  • The Box: A small room intended for the short-term recovery of psionically-sensitive mutants. "The Box", as it has been termed, was designed by Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr in such a manner that psionic powers do not extend beyond its boundaries, thus effectively sequestering a psi from the rest of the world for purposes of containment or recuperation.
  • A reinforced room designed to withstand superhuman strength and destructive powers. This room has been shown to be able to contain a mutant of Rogue's physical strength.
