Plots make the world go 'round!

But, sometimes it can be hard to keep track of them or know how to plug yourself in! To that end, here is a repository for the various threads of plotting that are being woven through our game. If you want to add plot information here, please include what the plot is, how players might hook into it, and who to contact about getting involved.


The Mendel Clinic
Currently still just a dream on the horizon, the Mendel Clinic is the brainchild of Dr. Iolaus Saavedro, currently a physician at Mount Sinai Hospital. While the intent and mission of the clinic are not known to many people, Dr. Saavedro intends it to be the world's first dedicated mutant clinic, catering to the unique needs of those with the X-Gene. An ambitious goal, and one sure to earn him no end of vilification when it comes to light -- but no small measure of respect, too, from those sympathetic to the cause.

For the moment, though, a mutant-targeted clinic is not something the city looks kindly on. The Clinic's construction requires no end of jumping through hoops; with city permits, with construction, with legal restrictions. There's no end of people on the city side, too, who would be very happy if this project never came to fruition.

Contact Iolaus about the Clinic and all politicking surrounding it!


Project Prometheus

Every so often, someone in the government will propose a new and horrifying plan for dealing with mutants. Lock them all in camps. Execute them. Put them in labs to find out what makes them tick. As yet, the most extreme of these have all been shot down -- publically, anyway.

Though it is kept extremely quiet and government involvement kept even moreso, the past years have seen a quiet rise in mutant disappearances. Some resurface, eventually, some do not, but stories have trickled out of mutants taken off to laboratories, locked away for months or years of grueling experimentation. Perhaps someone is trying to weaponize them, perhaps control them, perhaps just find a way to nullify their powers; whatever the case, it is certainly true that these labs are out there, scattered in hidden locations and leaving quite a few mutants with a lifetime of nightmares, if they are lucky enough to get out.

Project Prometheus involves doctors and scientists of all stripes, and there is always room to work it into people's backstories (or future stories!), either as experimenter or experimentee. Contact Rasheed or Shane for all your mad scientist (or labrat) needs!

Prometheus has many associated adoptable NPCs, as well, although people are welcome and encouraged to make their own chars with Prometheus ties! NPCs associated with Prometheus can be found here.


HFC Takeover!
For centuries now, the Hellfire Club, known for their motto 'do what thou wilt,' has been populated by the filthy rich and unscrupulous. They have used their influence to maneuver politics to their gain and mold politicians to their wishes. In the recent years, their Inner Circle has found the Mutant Issue to be a cause for great concern and have been aiding agendas that prosecute mutants and funding research to end this problem once and for all. It is rumored that the past election was a victory for the club and that the president and the mayor may or may not be in their collective pocket.

New comer Emma Frost has stumbled upon these plans with the help of her mutant gifts and a disgruntled spouse. She has chosen to act against them, but to beat them at their own game. She will begin to influence the hiring of mutants in key positions throughout the New York chapter of the club and gather up secrets to keep the old and rich members in line and funding pro-mutant initiatives when she takes power!

Contact Emma if you are interested in being backed by the old regime (for the time being) or in the upcoming events leading to the take over of the club world wide!
