The Factions

X A V I E R ' S

S T A F F
Headmaster:

Professor Charles Xavier | Professor X
Age: 70
Class: Extreme 4
The recent public outcry against him has deeply troubled Xavier. He feels powerless as his dream of mutant-human cooperation slips further and further out of reach with each passing day. Even more unsettling, he has recently lost psychic contact with Jean Grey's dormant mind...

Nurse:

Annie Ghazikhanian
Age: 34
Class: N/A
Nurse Annie was brought to the mansion to fill the gap left by Jean Grey. She acts both as the school nurse and the emergency medic for the X-Men. Though her son Carter is a mutant, the woman feels uncomfortable living in a house full of them, especially with the X-Men's secret comings and goings weighing on her mind. She has contemplated leaving several times.

Faculty:


G U E S T S


S T U D E N T S

Theresa Rourke Cassidy | Siryn
Age: 15
Class: Fledgling 3
After nearly being abducted during the raid on the mansion, Terri began avidly practicing with her ability. While she had shown remarkable improvement, she was still passed over along with Jubilee when students were promoted to the junior squad because of her age. Consequently, she has given much more thought to helping the latter establish a secret junior junior squad, just for the younger students.


Jubilation Lee | Jubilee
Age: 17
Class: 3
Jubilee had been looking forward to joining the junior squad ever since the major adrenaline rush that was Alkali Lake. When she failed to get in like Kitty and Piotr did, she immediately began cooking up a plan to create her own. Now that she is on the verge of convincing Siryn to lend a hand, she can't wait to show both the teachers and the older students that they could hold their own too, even if it meant sneaking out to take care of this anti-mutant business themselves.


Joshua Foley | Elixir
Age: 17
Class: Fledgling 4


X-M E N
The Team:

Ororo Munroe | Storm
Age: 33
Class: Extreme 4
Ororo has been troubled lately. With Scott still upset over Jean's death, she's had to force Logan to step up and help her while she tried to take over Scott's duties as leader. The Professor has seemed distant lately as well. If she weren't so busy, she would have asked him what was upsetting him, but she hadn't the time for that; every moment of it was needed to train the junior squad.


Scott Summers | Cyclops
Age: 33
Class: Developed 4
Scott hasn't been the same since Jean's "death" a few months ago. Guilt weighs heavily on his conscience as he feels that there was more that he could have done to save her. But it's only recently that he's been having nightmares where Jean's disembodied voice is calling to him for help. They are the reason why he's contemplating a visit to Alkali Lake.


James "Logan" Howlett | Wolverine
Age: Unknown
Class: Extreme 3
Logan misses Jean just as much as Scott does but, in a dramatic reversal of roles, remembers that he has a responsibility to the children. It's the only reason why he puts up with Storm hounding him all day. He was never a good team player to begin with, but he wasn't about to send a bunch of kids off to war unprepared.


Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy | Beast
Age: 35
Class: Developed 3
The events of Dark Cerebro had a more lasting impact for Hank than it did for most. He'd been conducting an experiment in his lab when the sudden onrush of pain caused him to spill the chemicals all over himself. By the end of the day, he no longer looked normal and because of that, he resigned from his post and returned to the only place that he could think of where he'd be safe: Xavier's. Now he spends most of his days locked away in his old lab trying to engineer a cure for his tragic condition.


"Tessa" | Sage
Age: 27
Class: Developed 4
Tessa had spent several years working undercover at the Hellfire Club for Professor Xavier. Because of this, she was surprised when she received a telepathic message from him several days after the so-called Dark Cerebro Incident instructing her to return to the school. That was months ago. Now she finds herself here minding the children while the ones called Storm and Wolverine attempt to teach the older students how to fight. The Professor has yet to meet with her to discuss the information she's gathered. It worries her that he is so distracted, but even more so because she knows the Hellfire Club will undoubtedly have something big in the works.


Kurt Wagner | Nightcrawler
Age: 29
Class: Advanced 2
Kurt has had trouble adjusting to life with the X-Men. He constantly feels like he does not belong yet remains simply because he believes he owes it to the people who saved him from Stryker to help them in their time of need. Along with Sage, Kurt looks after the younger students. They've taken to his acrobatics classes and he's derived a simple pleasure from that but, most of the time, he's contemplating his role in the coming fight.


Dr. Jean Grey | Phoenix {Missing}
Age: 32
Class: 5
Some days ago, Jean Grey felt herself being awakened as if from a deep sleep. When her eyes finally opened, she was greeted by a vision of white. The woman informed her that she was safe but Jean was unsure of that. There was something off about her would-be savior... And she couldn't remember anything. The image of a man kept springing to mind but she didn't know who he was. Worse. She felt like there was another person inside her head fighting her for control. The presence wanted to do things she would never dream of and she was losing.

Junior X-Men:

Robert Drake | Iceman
Age: 19
Class: Fledgling 4
After Alkali Lake, Bobby and Rogue officially became a part of the team. The fact that it was called the junior squad didn't bother him; he was just happy to be able to do something to help. Anything to get his mind off John leaving like that. It's been months since he's seen his friend and he doesn't know what he'll do if they ever ran into each other again.


Marie d'Ancanto | Rogue
Age: 19
Class: 3
The guilt is beginning to get to her. Rogue continues to train alongside her fellow junior X-Men, people who expect her, depend on her, to be there. ...But what if she isn't? Ever since she's heard about the cure, Marie has been torn between being there for her friends... or finally getting the normal life that she's always wanted. Now with distribution day drawing ever closer, pressure is mounting for her to make a decision that could affect her for the rest of her life.


Katherine "Kitty" Pryde | Shadowcat
Age: 18
Class: Advanced 3


Piotr Rasputin | Colossus
Age: 18
Class: Developed 3

The Reserves:

Moira MacTaggert
Age: 38
Class: N/A
When Charles first asked her to put together a team of mutants for him, Moira had thought it unnecessary. He had his X-Men after all. She'd never imagined that a second group would be needed. But now, now with utter chaos about to engulf the world, she could see that Charles had been right. Her own pupils might end up on the front lines just weeks, maybe even days, from now. And with one of Charles' own students already dead, the situation has Ms. McTaggert quite anxious.

King:

Queen:

Emma Frost
Age: 28
Class: Extreme 4
After Shaw had had Jean Grey brought to the club, Emma spent weeks working on the woman's mind. Even with her active defenses down, the White Queen found the X-Man's subconscious blocks difficult to navigate. Nevertheless, one by one, they fell until she came to the one Xavier himself had set in place. Though particularly challenging to dislodge, it too fell to her skill. But once inside, Emma felt her mind being overwhelmed with raw energy. She quickly patched up the breach she had opened but knew that something was definitely leaking out of the recesses of Jean Grey's mind. Despite this, she forged ahead with her task and erased the X-Man's memories before reawakening her. Now, with Jean Grey's active defenses up again, there is little she can do to stem the problem.

King:

Sebastian Shaw
Age: 46
Class: Advanced 3
When he'd learned from his contacts within Weapon-X that the X-Man Jean Grey had been found at the bottom of Alkali Lake by a team of government divers, Shaw had immediately dispatched Justice and Damask to retrieve her. Now, with Emma having finally revived the woman, his plan could move forward. By convincing an amnesiac Jean Grey to attack government installations, they would create a giant backlash against both the X-Men and mutants alike. Then it would only be a matter of time before demand for the cure Worthington and his associates had developed soared, earning the club a huge slush fund.

Yuriko Oyama | Lady Deathstrike {Clone}

Jason Stryker | Mastermind {Clone}
Age: 19
Class: 4
Jason remembers dying. He remembers being unable to move, to save himself as the world fell down around him, onto him. Most importantly, he remembers what the monster that was his father had done to him. It was his father's fault he had this disease, not his! ...But instead of using his fancy government job and scientific know-how to help him find a cure, a cure that someone else was able to develop, the bastard turned him into a human vegetable! Still, he owed the old man some credit. Thanks to his "father's" perverse desire for a normal son, he'd been granted a new lease on life. The clone's body was his now.
