Top Ten Reasons for Joining XP

1) We won't shut down five minutes after you've been accepted. Begun in May 2003, X-Project is one of the longest-lived RPGs on Livejournal and we're still going strong.

2) No character too obscure or too popular! Check out our active characters and our list of socks available for applications for an idea.

3) We're the best of both worlds. X-Project combines the wackiness of forty years of comics canon with the modern realism of the movies to create a gameverse with a life of its own, where the science (and magic) makes sense and where X3: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine don't exist.

4) We have something for everyone. With four teams, a disaster relief program, college politics and an NGO, plus a whole world to play in, there's something of interest, no matter what your preferred genre.

5) You can: go into space; destroy a city; defeat Murderworld; be the last man standing; or invade a country. Trust us; if you can dream it up, it can be a plot.

6) Everyone knows your name. With a small and friendly playerbase and only two character per player, you'll never be lost in the crowd. Also, we have players scattered over five continents, so there's always someone online!

7) You can come back from evil and still have friends. Join those who have been possessed, gone evil or succumbed to the power of evil genetics!

8 )You too will know the power of the DOOMTHREAD! With email discussions that have spawned their very own nickname, you can procrastinate your work/school/chores/etc indefinitely.

9) We have the pretties! Check out the fanart! Lots of opportunity to play with Photoshop!

10) We're all as weird as you are. 'Nuff said. :)

11) Bonus Point! We're the only RPG that has its own in-house band! Check out the Harry's Hideaway gig, recorded especially for the game!

Henry - better known as Hank - McCoy was one of the school's original students, and left to form an illustrious career as a scientist. When an experiment went horribly wrong and accelerated his mutation, giving him the appearance of the Beast of his codename, Hank sank into depression, nearly killing himself on several occasions in attempts to find a cure. Eventually brought out of despair by his friends from the school, plus colleagues such as Moira MacTaggart, he resumed his career, returning periodically to the school to act as the mansion's inventor and doctor, as well as an X-Man. It was during one of these sojurns that he adopted the son of one of the students, Danielle Moonstar, fulfilling a life-long dream to become a father. With fellow doctor Madelyn Bartlet, he found love, and eventually the couple moved to Edinburgh to raise Billy in a safer environment and further their careers. Hank returned briefly in 2009, but again the conflict between family and duty left him torn. When Billy became seriously ill in 2012, he returned to Scotland.

Name: BOBBY DRAKE

Date of Birth: APRIL 2, 1985

Powers: Creation and manipulation of ice.

Status: X-MEN - AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATIONS.

Bobby Drake was sent to Xavier's by his parents, believing it was a prep school and unaware of their son's ability to create and manipulate ice. Bobby is one of the 'old timers', having been at the school for most of his adult life. He became an X-Man after the events of X2, but unknown to the rest of the school, was abducted by the shapeshifter Mystique only months later. She replaced him for several months, handing Bobby himself over to the Friends of Humanity. The switch was eventually discovered and Bobby rescued, but the trauma of what was done to him in that time was a long time healing. He embarked on a series of life paths - college, a relationship with the amnesiac and innocent Jane Doe/Cloud, a position with Nathan Dayspring's NGO, Elpis - but nothing seemed to suit. It was his tumultuous relationship with longtime school friend Theresa Cassidy that seemed to give him a firmer foothold, despite the challenges racked against it. Married in 2006 'by accident' in Las Vegas, Bobby took on the stewardship of Cassidy Keep when Sean Cassidy returned to Interpol, and obtained his teaching qualifications by correspondence. When his brother manifested shapeshifting abilities, Bobby took him back to the mansion and remained himself, realising he missed life as an X-Man. When Terry also returned, the young pair realised their marriage was in trouble and eventually separated by mutual agreement. Bobby is currently conducting an audit of the West Coast Annex's finances and spending, by request of Charles and trying to decide what to do next.
