The story of the superhuman team known as the X-Men is long and complicated. There have been deaths, and rebirths, body switching and space travel. Characters have come and gone, new teams have formed, and the baddies have become the goodies. But how did it all begin?
At the dawn of the silver age of mutation, Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier decided to band together in order to shelter young adults, gifted just like themselves, from a world of prejudice. At the time, they both shared an ideal of mutants being able to co-exist with the rest of society in peace. With these similar goals, they wished to give a sense of hope to the next generation. Using Xavier's ancesteral home, located at 1407 Greymalkin Lane, they planned to rescue and take care of those the world considered a growing problem, --mutants. Remember, this is a time without cerebro, a time without the initial "Xavier's School for Higher Learning", without the danger room, and without the reputation of the famed X-Men.
The basement is not yet covered in chrome. Field uniforms have not yet been sown. No, this is the very beginning. Charles and Erik are still great allies, where in the unjustified future, all of that could change. Their only goal now is to help individuals whom experience no control over their powers, with no desire to be what some would call a "freak". It is both men that wish to help these young adults know that being beyond the status of simply homo sapien is a godsend, a gift. In an effort to control such talents, they would need to be under the watchful eyes of both Erik and Charles, as they live in the manor. The world does not yet know the name Magneto, does not yet fear the most renouned mutant terrorist that history will have to offer. There have been no threats to destroy the world, no celestial forces imposing themselves on adolescent girls. We take you back to a humbled beginning. Everything else is on the distant horizon.
notes
» However, the timeline has been moved up from Charles and Erik meeting each other and experiencing World War II, but much further to the beginning of the Iraq war. This would make them much, much younger. The timeline for this game is much more modern, rather than having been placed way back in those days. This would mean Charles and Erik are not around the age of seventy, but moreso around their early forties.
» Please also note that this game does not restrict mature themes, and almost guarentees, so everyone should be of legal age in whatever country (you) hail from. Violence, Sexual situations and the like permit such requests that anyone not old enough to handle such themes turn away now. If not for us, do it for your benefit. At sixteen, why would you want to burn the very thoughts into your mind!?
