It started when anti-mutant demonstrators picked a fight with a group of mutants who were just walking home from a party one night. Whether because the media thought it would get the ratings, because one of the demonstrators was related to a state senator, or because of some other reason, when the mutants gave back more damage than the demonstrators gave them they were branded as criminals and arrested for assault. Some of the more radical mutant groups saw this as an attack on all mutants and staged their own protest, one which quickly turned violent when members of that same anti-mutant group showed up to counter-protest. Once again mutants were seen by the general public as the aggressors. Things continued to grow until mutants were seen as intolerant bigots who wanted to destroy "Norms". That's when the government decided to reintroduce the mutant registration act. The Mutant Response Division was formed to deal with the "mutant threat" and soon they, and their giant robotic assistants, the Sentinels, were rounding up mutants either as suspected terrorists or "for their own protection." Only two major mutant groups have survived the roundups. The Xmen, with their secret base whose location is known only to high ranking members, still fight to try and show the public that not all mutants are a threat. The Mutant brotherhood, with their large numbers, constantly moving camps, and foreign backing, believe that mutants should abandon the bigots to their fate and form their own society free from such prejudice. They smuggle mutants and mutant sympathizers to Genosha, where Mutants and "Norms" work together to build a better society. --- We will start at one of the MRD "holding facilities", ie internment camps, and will manage to escape when someone famous, but disguised, comes to set us free. We'll be trying to get to Genosha, but that doesn't mean we can't meet the Xmen along the way. The super-human civil war is also happening in the background, as some non-mutant supers side with the mutants. --- [hider=Character Sheet idea] Name: Appearance: Mutant Name: Power: (with description and limits explained) Skills: Personality: Bio: [/hider] The guys that come to rescue us: [hider=Spartan] Name: Unknown Appearance: [img]https://deadliestblogpage.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/1a-spartan.jpg[/img] With a full face skull mask and no sword.
