Wanted
Although this list is often changing and the best way to get a good idea what is currently most in demand would be to either check on-game or glance at the forum, this is a brief list of concepts that we would really like to see.
We want these! What else is there to say? For some, especially the scientists, please ask for more information on-game.
- Friends of Humanity
- Humans
- Scientists, especially researching mutations
- Xavier's students.
Overdone & Restricted
Although we hate to deter players from XMM by saying that they can't have certain powers or concepts, we do have themes that often become commonplace or overdone in RP. In the interest of developing and maintaining a balanced grid, we semi-restrict these things. We review and update this list regularly, usually every few weeks, and adjust it according to current RP trends.
Keep in mind that we place our emphasis on character rather than powers. Also keep in mind that some mutations are going to make more sense in a movie-based world than others.
Overdone concepts are those that already exist on game in some number. As such, we tend to expect a bit more out of an application that contains overdone concepts.
- Bilingual or multilingual characters
Restricted concepts are those which can be difficult to play for one reason or another, and so we prefer that you talk to App Staff before you app them. We tend to be a bit more careful about what we approve in this category, and we are unlikely to approve any of the following concepts for players new to the game.
- Technopaths (powers which have extensive control over technology such as computers, internet, machines, etc.)
- Obvious physical mutations
- Pre-cognitives
- Time manipulation
- Psionic-based powers (defined as powers which affect the mind, not those which are controlled by it)
- Xavier's alumni
- Non X-Men Characters (characters which appear in the Marvel line-up, but are not necessarily in the X-Men canon. For example, The Thing or Tony Stark. Super-powered characters will have to be altered to fit our theme--usually powered down and origin story psuedo-scienced to include mutation).
Prohibited concepts may not be applied for.
- Aliens
- Clones
- Time travel
- Magic-based powers
- Immortal characters (ie, Sinister or Apocalypse)
- Radiation-based mutations
- Item creation (summoning objects from thin air)
- The following FCs: Omega Red, Exodus, Selene, Proteus, Legion, Wild Thing, X-23
- Non Marvel characters (ie, Superman or Batman)
