Okay, first, you can post in this thread, and only this thread unless you have my permission to post in other mission threads.
Now, I have spent quite a bit of time trying to come up with missions for both the X-men and the Brotherhood. I have come up with two for the X-men. One is more of a trip turned into a disaster, which will happen somewhat soon (?). It depends on Koda. The other mission won't happen for a while and has to do with Kali going back to the facility that she escaped from, with intentions to destroy it. That probably won't happen until her little secret gets out.
I came up with these about a month ago and have been occupying my brain with student teaching things. So! If you have any ideas for missions, that you would like to discuss, post them here!
Please understand, that while I really would love to make all of your ideas come to life, there are only so many missions that can be open at the same time.
If you would like to suggest/discuss a mission, please let us know the following:
Which group does it concern? (X-men, Brotherhood, both) Dream team (if any; the whole school can't go on a single mission and dream team may help me out with organizing teams, though you may not get everyone you want) General idea (what's the mission? Where will said mission take place?)

Mission ideas Here is a list of your ideas. Please read this so that we avoid doubles. Thanks!
X-Men
"Rescue the Perishing" ~See Mission 1 on next post "Flames of Freedom"~ See Mission 2 on next post "Ghost in Chains" (Involves both Brotherhood and Xmen)
Mission 1: Han has a sister in Japan that is really sick. The doctors believe that there is no cure and she is slowly dying. Han receives word, from his uncle, that he needs to visit her because she isn't going to last much longer. So, Han and Jade go to see her and either a rival Yakuza (to his uncle's) or a "bad guy" have taken Han's sister. Han must convince his uncle to let him go get her. Jade calls for back-up (So more X-men can come onto the scene) and they go retrieve his sister.
Spoiler alert!
Han's sister dies because she has been off of her treatment for so long.
Mission 2: This mission will happen after Kali's 'past' gets found out. Somehow, everyone at the mansion finds out about Kali's origin. It brings around a lot of dispute that they allowed someone who was made to kill (and had killed) mutants, into their school.
Kali finds out that the government did not believe she died and had continued to search for her. Now, the government has placed her, somewhere in the state of New York. Rather than let them come to her, Kali decides to do the right thing and lead them away from the school of mutants. She comes up with the "brilliant" idea to destroy the organization that created her, knowing that she would be killing, yet again. In order to do this, Kali knows that she must allow herself to get caught.
My plan, is that a student, or couple of students (not all) from the school, watch her sneak out and decide to follow her. They get captured in the process but not before they can warn the Xmen about Kali's actions. (They can choose to think she is going back to join the movement, again. Or that she is going back to destroy the organization. Either way, it means bad news).
Things happen and Kali is forced to choose between saving the captured mutant(s) and destroying the organization. She thinks she can do both and the X-men's job is to try and stop her from doing the latter.
Mission 3: is a mission for the Brotherhood. After Kali returns from a mission of her own, the Brotherhood finds out about her and desperately want her on their side with the idea that she could kill anyone who got in their way (mutant or human). There could possibly be several missions trying to achieve this.
I know that these missions are centered around Kali,mostly. We (Koda and I) are also trying to come up with some missions for the brotherhood and some that involve a Villian that isn't on the list (like Mission 1).
Please, do not be afraid to put your ideas out there! I really want to start the missions. I'm thinking Mission one might be going up soon.

Three mission ideas seems like a good start. Before considering any other potential mission ideas, I would personally like to know where exactly the X-Men and Brotherhood stand in this universe. It seems pretty implied so far that the X-Men are not yet public knowledge, and that the school is under cover. Has the Brotherhood participated in any type of terrorism or grand schemes? Are they considered a threat by the US government? Are they definitive enemies with the X-Men as of now? Do the X-Men go on missions to stop the Brotherhood from deeds at times? Do they go on missions to recruit young mutants? I think knowing some of those answers would help members plan other missions more effectively.

O.o So many questions! >>feeling overwhelmed<< The school is under cover, but the Xmen have made some apperances, to the public. The Brotherhood, is known, but their hideout is not. I don't have an exact history of what the teams have done, so far (because that hasn't been rpd, yet) but the Brotherhood is considered a threat. The X-Men and Brotherhood are on different sides of the Mutant/human argument. Xmen wants to live peacfully, Brotherhood...not so much. There are times when the opposing sides will work together, and times when they try to stop each other. The Brotherhood doesn't really have a way of knowing when new mutants pop up, like Xavier does. He kinda has the upper hand when it comes to new recruits. The Brotherhood catches the strays, runaways and misfits. If Xavier finds one that would suit their needs more, there isn't much that will stop the Brotherhood from trying to persuade the mutant to join their cause.
Just a few thoughts, we could possibly do a few actual story arcs from other X-Men media. Things that come to mind are
The Cure (A Cure For The X-Gene) Sentinels (The Beginning of the Sentinel Program -- We encounter our first one as a group & see we are not cohesive as a team. -- This could possibly be both sides like we're all in the same location when it appears or something like that.) The Middleverse (I don't how close we are to the X-Men evolution universe but I loved the episode with Forge and Nightcrawler when he was trying to explore the universe he goes to when he BAMFs.) The Regristratation Act (Mutants have to be registered with the government, as well as superheroes and the like. Big Marvel Comic Event)
Now that I think about it, these are more story arcs but they could be ideas for someone else. We could always do Danger Room missions.

Mission : "Ghost in Chains"
A cold, wintry day in Red Oak, Iowa. Craig Thomson is visiting the grave of his childhood friend, on the Anniversary of his powers awakening. He was granted permission to do so every year since he had been taken to the Xavier Institute, by the professor himself. He is chaperoned by Scott Summers. The sky is overcast and while there is not much snow on the ground, the air has a bitter wind, and dark, depressing feel. Out of respect for Craig's loss, and his desire for solitude, Cyclops remained at the gate of the cemetery, leaving the haunted young man to pay his respects alone.
As Craig kneels at the headstone of one Jenna Birch, sunken crimson eyes unblinking, and dead as he gazed at the name on the stone, a little girl, no more than eight years old touches his shoulder. His eyes widen with fear, shock, and disbelief as he turns to view the child.
Summers waits patiently, but when the sun sets and Craig has not emerged, he enters the graveyard, and searches, to no avail. Craig has disappeared, and without the general wave of fear and anxiety that normally accompanies his expedited departures.
Concerned, Cyclops contacts the professor, but even with Cerebro, Ghost is nowhere to be found. The Xmen are dispatched to search the surrounding area.
A week after the search begins, a series of strange occurrences strike. Several small towns in the vicinity of Red Oak suffer downed communications, and what the locals refer to as a deep sense of fear and dread.
Craig is know to leave fear and anxiety in his wake, but even he isnt capable of effecting entire towns. Someone or something appears to have weaponized Craig's power, If this is true, government facilities can be raided without ever alerting the local authorities.
Craig and his abductors must be found.
Craig was lured into a trap, by none other than Mystique, who had done her homework and impersonated the one person the Brotherhood could use to control Craig, Jenna Birch. He has been taken prisoner, and hooked unwillingly into a device that concentrates his Electro-magnetic field, magnifies it, then deploys it like an EMP bomb. The device is currently undergoing field tests.
This mission requires involvement from both groups, Xmen and Brotherhood.
Just a few thoughts, we could possibly do a few actual story arcs from other X-Men media. Things that come to mind are
The Cure (A Cure For The X-Gene) Sentinels (The Beginning of the Sentinel Program -- We encounter our first one as a group & see we are not cohesive as a team. -- This could possibly be both sides like we're all in the same location when it appears or something like that.) The Middleverse (I don't how close we are to the X-Men evolution universe but I loved the episode with Forge and Nightcrawler when he was trying to explore the universe he goes to when he BAMFs.) The Regristratation Act (Mutants have to be registered with the government, as well as superheroes and the like. Big Marvel Comic Event)
Now that I think about it, these are more story arcs but they could be ideas for someone else. We could always do Danger Room missions.
There are a lot of story arcs in the movies and comics. We could incorporate some of them. I don't want to do all of the story arcs because the ideas have already been written and we have so many more characters of our own design. If you think of any missions, in particular, that you would like to see done, please let us know, here! There are just so many story arcs and missions from the movies, shows and comics that sorting through them all is a bit of a daunting task.
Thanks for the ideas! Just let us know which ones you would like to see.
