As the name indicates...this RPG will revolve around Crossroads and New Beginnings.CrossroadsWe would like to see characters come to a 'crossroads' in their lives where important and life changing decisions have to be made. These events can be very personal...i.e. a relationship beginning, ending or changing, or they can be moral or spiritual. Whatever is decided, they should show 'growth' for your character.New BeginningsThis can be any number of items as well and most likely will relate back to the 'crossroads' in your character(s)' life or lives and/or career. They may be starting a new career as teacher or student at Xavier's School for the Gifted or may have been selected to train for the upcoming X-Men team(s). Their 'new beginning' once again may be as simple as establishing a new relationship or changes in an old one.

The Prodigal Wakes / Scott / Tag: Prof X
Who: Scott
With: Open
When: Mid-Afternoon, Saturday
Where: Jonah's Whale
OOC: A catchup/fill-in post (computer fixed, yay!)
Scott awakened with a start, looking around in confusion at his unfamiliar surroundings. He was curled up between an odd-looking console and a wall and it took him a moment to realize that he was still aboard the Whale. Worried that it might be more of an equine of the Trojan variety than a cetacean, he'd been checking it from stem to stern when he sat down to rest for a minute.
The stress of the day must have caught up with him, he realized, though he felt much refreshed from his nap. Refreshed but stiff, he realized as he sat up. He stretched with a groan, flipping his wrist over to consult his watch.
A moment later, he was still staring in disbelief at the glowing numbers. He had his watch set on military time, so there was no mistaking 2AM and 2PM and, incredibly, it was the latter. He needed to report to Xavier. He needed to report to Xavier hours ago. Stiffness forgotten, he scrambled to his feet, then realized he could at least contact the powerful telepath from here.
Drawing in a breath, he blanked out his anxiety and settled his mind the way he'd been taught. ~Professor?~ Tags: Professor X
Who: Xavier When: Mid-Afternoon, Saturday Where: Hallway near Kitchen OOC: A catchup/fill-in post (computer fixed, yay!)
As the professor rolled down the hall nearing the kitchen he suddenly heard his name beckoned through a telepathic link.
"Professor?" Scott Summer's voice came through loud and clear.
"Scott? Yes, I hear you. Are you alright?" he asked, even as he kept focus on his destination; the patio.

~Yes, sir,~ Scott replied mentally, rolling his head as he spoke in an effort to get some of the stiffness out of his neck. ~I'm aboard the Whale. I'm sorry not to have reported in sooner. I was checking the ship for ... problems ... and I must have fallen asleep.~

"I understand," Xavier replied. "Would you meet me in my office as soon as you are able? I think a thorough de-briefing is in order. Evan may be waiting at my office when you get there, so if you wouldn't mind waiting.."
Continuity Mod Edit: And on that note, please move Scott to An Evo Request, and Xavier will be there shortly. Thankies.

Background: Many, many years ago, Charles Francis Xavier established Xavier's School for the Gifted. Also, seeing other Mutants misusing and abusing their powers, he created the first generation of the X-Men.This original team was trained and lead by an old friend of his...Logan, aka Wolverine. Logan's co-leader was a young woman and student named Ororo Munroe, aka Storm. Once the team was trained and fielded on active missions, they took on the additional responsibility of teaching and helping new Mutants deal with their powers.On one horrible night, the X-Men were fielded to stop a particularly powerful Mutant and his 'gang'. The 'intelligence' received on this Mutant and his cohorts was sketchy and actually turned out to be a set-up to entrap the X-Men and take them captive. In the ensuing melee', 'things' happened and a number of the team were killed outright or severely injured.After making sure his remaining team-mates were going to be okay, Logan left. Xavier has not, to current time, explained his absence or even whether or not he survived.Current Time/Game Time: Almost seven years later, as Human/Mutant incidents are on the rise, Xavier once again sees a need for a Mutant 'police force'. He sees this new X-Men team as a force for good and a way to help peacefully integrate the rapidly emerging Mutant society with the established Human society. To this end, he has contacted Logan and asked him to 'come home' and train his 'new' team.
Logan has reluctantly agreed.Can shadows from their past be put aside for the good of the new X-Men? How will the surviving members of the original team react and what will they do as 'truths' are learned about that disastrous night?Note: We want the new X-Men to include younger versions of the old familiar characters such as Scott, Jean, Beast etc...as well as many of the OCC’s and other Canon characters that are available.Please ask the Staff BEFORE stating or establishing that your character was one of the old, now disbanded, original X-Men.
