My vote would go out to option #2. It's closest to what we all joined and allows most of us to re-use characters from PRCU, which seemed to be a thing people wanted.

I had already discussed this earlier with Hound, that I'd rather do just an X-men academy style RP like we had initially signed up for. But if others would rather do something else then I'd be down to join that as I really like this group!
