Mutantkind is in jeopardy. Reverend William Stryker’s band of zealots known as ‘the Purifiers’ have begun to capture and kill any known mutants listed under the Mutant Registration Act. After the recent public execution of Charles Xavier, those gifted with the X-gene have been in revolt.
The X-Men are struggling with their decision to remain active and try to help those in need, whereas the Brotherhood of Mutants are preparing an onslaught of chaos and mayhem with the destruction of humankind. Purifiers are increasing in numbers and it’s now more dangerous than ever to be a mutant, but there are still those Neutral to the cause that care solely about their survival.
Civil war is brewing. Which side are you on?
Brave New World is a newly-opened X-Men RP set in the fictional timeline of Earth 322. Because of the vast number of characters already inhabiting the X-Men universe, we have started out our character ranks with existing world canons, but you can play literally anybody. Some characters have no more than a simple power associated to them, and you’ll be able to develop a rich, fleshed out character from that skeleton.
Our ask box is always open to character suggestions, ideas, and comments from prospective members. Face Claims will always be considered negotiable, so if you’d like to see changes, please, let us know!
Even if you know nothing of the X-Men canon but are interested in character building and superheroes/mutant RP, we hope you take a look! The information on the site is all you’ll need to know to enjoy yourself and get something out of the experience.

NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- FIVE-IN-ONE (THE STEPFORD CUCKOOS)!
Five-in-One — Alias: The Stepford Cuckoos — 19 — FC: Claire Holt
Class: Alpha — Powers: Telepathy — Open
Technically made rather than born, the Cuckoo sisters (Celeste, Esme, Mindee, Phoebe, and Sophie) were created as part of a program to utilize the genetic material of Emma Frost to develop a weapon powerful enough to combine telepathic ability to kill all mutants. The first five to reach the mature stage, the sisters were released from their incubation to test the combined strength of their powers, mind blocks placed on them to prevent them — and others — to know of their true history and purpose.
They were sent to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters following the raid on the Massachusetts Academy implanted with a false memory of a traditional, happy upbringing. They have become close favourites of Emma Frost, not knowing that she is their mother, and she is grooming them to become the next generation of powerful telepaths. They have all been placed on Dani Moonstar’s squadron of New Mutants, where their abrasive personality has made it difficult for them to fit in amongst their fellow teammates, but their loyalties lie, above all, to the White Queen.
Together, the Stepford Cuckoos possess a hive-mind, allowing them to communicate telepathically amongst one another instantaneously. Their powers extend to others as well, capable of receive and broadcast the thoughts of others, control minds, and create psionic energy blasts. Each capable in their own right, their power is exponentially increased when in close proximity to each other, and together they are amongst the most powerful telepathic minds on the planet, they have just not received the proper training.
Five-in-One appears to be, as the name suggests, one unit, but each sister has her own opinions and thoughts. The issue is that because of their hive-mind, the dominant mind tends to control the others, giving them one unified voice. At present, that mind is Sophie, the youngest and most power-hungry of the sisters. Together, they give off an air of nonchalance and an overall ‘better-than-you’ mentality, believing their powers superior to their teammates’, alienating them from the group.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- GAMBIT (REMY LEBEAU)!
Gambit — Alias: Remy LeBeau — 39 — FC: Josh Holloway
Class: Alpha — Powers: Kinetic Charging — Open
Kidnapped from the Louisiana hospital he was born in, Remy LeBeau was raised by the Thieves’ Guild, where he was trained in pickpocketing and remaining out of sight. Remy’s powers manifested on a job gone wrong, leaving him captured by a group of men. Using his powers to charge the cell he was being held in, Remy managed to escape and fled the area to avoid being found out as a mutant.
He has only recently joined the Brotherhood of Mutants, having spent much of the past 20 years working as a mercenary and a thief, stealing what he believes would not be noticed. With the crackdown on mutants becoming more prevalent, Remy chose to align with Magneto, believing that there would be greater spoils if his plan were to succeed — and he’s got no problem jumping side if the odds slip out of their favour.
Capable of charging inanimate objects with their inherit kinetic energy, Remy uses his powers as an offensive maneuver, preferring playing cards due to their lightweight nature and the ease of throwing them. When the charge detonates, the impact varies based on the size of the object, his playing cards having up to the force of a grenade, should he concentrate. He is a skilled martial artist and utilizes a bo staff. When charged fully, he can release enough energy to level a house.
Gambit is charming and charismatic, used to getting what he wants. Something of a playboy, Remy had a reputation as a heartbreaker even before he left the Thieves’ Guild. His confidence is high, smugly believing himself to be an unstoppable thief. Streetwise and tough, he is the sort of person you want on your side in a fight, and odds are he will be — if you’re a beautiful woman or if the price is right.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- WIND DANCER (SOFIA MANTEGA)!
Wind Dancer — Alias: Sofia Mantega — 19 — FC: Kaya Scodelario
Class: Alpha — Powers: Air Manipulation — Open
Born in Venezuela to a single mother who died when Sofia Mentega was a young girl, she was sent to live with her father, a wealthy American businessman who had no previous knowledge of her existence. When she developed her mutant powers, her father forbade the usage of them, but he was distant, ignoring her, often forgetting she was even there. Though she was always provided for, Sofia snapped when he forget her birthday one year, using her powers to summon a hurricane to tear apart one of his stores.
Rather than comfort her, Sofia’s father refused to bail her out from the holding cell and was going to return her to Venezuela — claiming she wasn’t his daughter at all — when Dani Moonstar and Laurie Collins, using their powers, convinced him to release Sofia into their custody after seeing the story on the news, bringing the girl to the mansion for her own protection. Sofia quickly excelled, being placed on Colossus’ squad in the New Mutants.
Gifted with the ability to control air, Sofia typically executes this by creating intense winds to lift, carry, or thrust her enemies away. She can also use these winds to amplify sound, allowing her to eavesdrop on conversations. She is also capable of flight, using her winds to carry large numbers of people, though this can be taxing on her body.
Wind Dancer is a girl who never truly felt loved before she came to the X-Men, which has significantly impacted her personality. Instantly feeling a connection with Wallflower, the two have become best friends and it is Sofia’s mission to make the girl less shy. Sofia is outgoing and friendly, though stubborn and does not like being wrong. Afraid of being alone again, team unity is her driving force and hates seeing in-fighting amongst her teammates and will do whatever she can in her power to force reconciliation — including trapping them inside of the eye of a storm until the kiss and make up.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- CYPHER (DOUG RAMSEY)!
Cypher — Alias: Doug Ramsey — 19 — FC: Hunter Parrish
Class: Beta — Powers: Omnilingual — Open
Because of the passive nature of his power, Doug Ramsey never received an invitation to join the New Mutants, but he got to know Kitty Pryde due to their shared interest in technology and video games. The two became fast friends, but Kitty kept the boy ignorant of his mutant powers and what they could mean for his safety.
This changed when a young mutant girl arrived at the door, panicked. She spoke only the language of her small south american tribe, one which none of the team could speak. Worried that she was bringing them news of danger, Kitty snuck in to Doug’s house to drag him to the Mansion, where he demonstrated his ability to learn new languages telepathically. The girl warned them of an incoming Purifier raid on the mansion, and Doug’s ability gave them the opportunity to mount their defences. With the reveal of his mutant nature, Professor Xavier believed it would be wisest to grant Douglas entry into the New Mutants squad for his own protection, placing him on Colossus’ team.
Granted the ability to understand languages at a subconscious level using a form of telepathy, Doug can crack codes in seconds, where most linguists would take years. He has an advanced understand of written and spoken languages with no preference between human or alien origin. This allows him to crack codes with ease and gives him a vast understanding of computer languages, making him a skilled hacker. Additionally, this power extends to body language, giving him the ability to vaguely judge when a person is lying or telling the truth, and in understanding subtext in a conversation.
Cypher is, for all intents and purposes, a nerd. He has a strong love for video games, comic books, and science fiction, and his power has made him a computer genius. Always connected, Doug is a strong communicator, likely due to his power granting him the knowledge needed to know and understand what a person needs, even if they aren’t outright saying it. His knowledge tends to be more abstract than logical, as he cannot explain how he knows a language or the rules behind its usage, he simply knows it.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- STORM (ORORO MUNROE)!
Storm — Alias: Ororo Munroe — 31 — FC: Zoe Saldana
Class: Omega — Powers: Weather Manipulation/Flight — Open
Born in New York City by raised in Egypt by a Kenyan tribal princess and an American photojournalist, Ororo Munroe was orphaned during a terrorist attack in Cairo and become a skilled thief and soon nomad, spending years in the Serengeti desert. When her powers for weather manipulation manifest, she is revered as a rain goddess in numerous small villages before she is tracked down by Charles Xavier to join his first class of X-Men.
Ororo’s natural leadership abilities propelled her into a join-leadership role of the team along with her friend Cyclops. With the team now growing larger, she has taken charge of the New Mutants team, helping them hone their abilities, giving overall leadership of the X-Men to Cyclops. In the wake of Charles Xavier’s death, she worries primarily about the children. Were it not for him, they would all be in their graves, and is the main voice for keeping the school open and actively recruiting.
The power to control weather makes Storm an omega-class mutant because of her possibility to completely affect the world’s ecosystems. She can precisely manipulate weather to create precipitation or fog, gale force winds, and thunderstorms. As part of this ability, she can also fly through the summoning of wind currents. Her power is very draining on her body and, at extensive use, she grows weak and faints.
Storm is a calm-headed leader, far different to her counterpart Cyclops’ hot-headed nature. She is a serene presence who is capable of easily gaining the trust of others. She is a very compassionate soul, but does not let this cloud her judgement. As a native of Africa, she has had some trouble adapting to Western culture, though she has been in America long enough to understand most of its intricacies.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- WHITE QUEEN (EMMA FROST)!
White Queen — Alias: Emma Frost — 32 — FC: Charlize Theron
Class: Omega — Powers: Telepathy / Diamond Form — Open
The product of a wealthy couple who provided no emotional support during her adolescence, Emma was bullied through most of childhood and performed poorly in school. When her mutant powers manifested during her teens, her grades skyrocketed — she discovered that she could get the answers from other students. As she grew older, Emma’s ruthlessness developed, and she soon became a central member of the Hellfire Club and CEO of Frost International, using it to fund her activities.
Emma Frost had proven time and time again to be a worthy foe of the X-Men, even going so far as to create a rival school known as the Massachusetts Academy, where she trained those gifted with the X-gene for her own purposes. Frost’s high-profile nature put her in jeopardy when the Purifiers began their extermination. She lost several of her students and would have lost her own if not for Charles Xavier’s intervention — the same move that led him to his death. With nowhere else to turn and an impeding gratitude for that the X-Men had done for her, Emma offered her assistance at Westchester in the fight against Stryker.
As one of the most powerful telepaths in the world, Emma’s skill comes from her determination and training, not simply being born that way. She is capable of reading minds and sometimes controlling thoughts, though she exercises caution in doing so as she begins to lose her grip on her own mind. Additionally, she can perform various offences in the form of ‘mental bolts’. Another facet of her power is her ability to shapeshift into a diamond form, giving her superhuman strength and durability, but impacting her speed and cognitive capacity.
The White Queen was not welcomed with open arms to the ranks of the X-Men, but the Phoenix saw the truth in her intentions and was reluctantly accepted. Emma possesses a wit and sarcasm that often puts her at odds with her fellows, though she has no interest in forging personal connections with these people. There are some who are worried that Jean’s reading of Emma was flawed, that she had somehow manipulated the most powerful telepath on the planet to believe that she was good. They wait with baited breath for her to make a move, and are more than eager to take her down.
NOW REOPENED IN BRAVE NEW WORLD- ICEMAN (BOBBY DRAKE)!
Iceman — Alias: Bobby Drake — 25 — FC: Garrett Hedlund
Class: Omega — Powers: Ice Manipulation — Open
Born to a human couple in 1987, Bobby Drake first discovered his mutant powers while on a date with a girl from his high school. While fighting with somebody over his date’s affections, Bobby’s latent powers manifested and his ability to control and manipulate ice became apparent when the boy was frozen solid. Threatened to be run out of down or worse, Professor Charles Xavier approached Bobby’s family to provide him a place at his school. Fearing that they had nowhere else to put their son, the Drakes sent their son to Westchester.
Bobby excelled as a pupil during his time and was quickly at the head of the class, capable of controlling his powers in intricate ways. He became leader of a small squad of students — now called the New Mutants — who were well on their way to becoming X-Men. After serving in that capacity until he turned 22, Bobby was promoted to a full-time X-Men, the youngest person to ever be brought aboard.
Though he is quite gifted, Bobby’s suffers from a crippling fear that his powers could manifest beyond his control. As an Omega level mutant, his powers still remain largely untapped and there are several aspects as yet unknown to him. He is cyrokinetic, thermokinetic, and hydrokinetic, giving him the ability to manipulate ice and water in all of its forms. He can create unbreakable ice structures and protectors, but this impacts him greatly and can leave him weak and tired. Additionally, he can enter an ice form that enhances his abilities beyond what he can do in his organic state.
Iceman is confident in what he can do in the present, but afraid of what he could do in the future. He has a confidence and bravado about him and his abilities that come off as cocky and demeaning, but he is above all a good friend to his teammates. The eternal child, several of the younger mutants look up to Bobby as a mentor figure, and he’s always willing to lend a hand, though they’ll have to deal with his smug charm.
