Character statistics are displayed in the character's biographical information and in their ID badges. These statistics are used for fun and to help grade characters whenever in an RP sequence that includes using their mutant/non-mutant skills. Because the students are at a school, they would naturally have a progression in their abilities so their Badges and Profiles will reflect it.

The base number of points a character should use are organized at the following levels, though they do not always correspond to High School Years. You could be a Senior with Second Year Abilities-- Or on the flip side, a Sophomore in College with Second Year Abilities. New Players, unless they speak to a Mod-- Automatically should make their profile with SECOND YEAR STATS in mind:


First year students have: 25-30 Stat Points to Spend (The Mastery Stat Maximum for this Level is 5.) -----> No one currently in the guild should be using this level.

Second year students have: 30 – 35 Stat Points to Spend (The Mastery Stat Maximum for this Level is 7.) -----> All New Players should be starting at THIS level, unless otherwise discussed with a moderator.

Third year students have: 35 - 45 Stat Points to Spend (The Mastery Stat Maximum for this Level is 9.) ----> Level Reserved for Veteran Players

Fourth year students have: 45-50 Stat Points to Spend (There is no Cap on Mastery at this level. It will take some time to be achieved by New Characters) ----> Level Reserved for Veteran Players


▒████████████████████████▒


****If you feel your character should be in a certain level, higher or lower, or requires an additional point—Speak to a moderator****


▒████████████████████████▒


During the course of the game, Players can request to add stat points to their Characters by submitting an upgrade form to the moderators. They will review it with the player, and if found suitable—The request would then be granted. No changes to Power’s, Stat Points, or Non-Mutant abilities are EVER to be made without moderator consent. The moderators keep a hard copy of all Profiles… If they are edited without consent, the Player will be placed on probation, and the profile reverted for the integrity of the game.

Please remember that if it doesn't make sense for a character to use all of their stat points, they do not need to use them.


▒█A B O U T - M A S T E R Y - P O I N T S: █▒ ↓

All of the statistics categories have a ten point system., except the Mastery Statistic. It is set on a 20 point scale since there are wider area’s of where a character can be—And also to help prevent people from maxing out this skill. No character should be perfect. The more mastery a character has, the more things they can do with their power. A player should generally not add a new aspect to their characters power without obtaining a higher master level. For Example:

- Iceman can create a ice blasts and freeze things. If he wanted to add another ability to what he can do with his power—Such as creating ice paths he can skate on, he would need to raise his mastery skill.

- Rogue can absorb powers and memories through touch, but if she wants to learn how to cycle through them rapidly to use them to her advantage—Her mastery level would have to be increased significantly.


A character could potentially have the most powerful ability in the world… But if there Mastery Points are too low, such as a 1 or 2… They would be able to do next to nothing with it. It’s the difference between eating “Pop Rocks” and setting off “Fireworks”.

Non-Mutant skills are ability that characters have that have nothing to do with their mutation. They are learned, not something that characters are born with. We regulate what skills characters have, because no one character can do everything. Non-Mutant Skills should NEVER be used to supplement an addition to a characters mutant ability... They are skills/hobbies that everyday humans could learn to do, just as easily as a mutant. Each skill has three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Master

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX........Both for New Applications, and Current Members

New Members: When you first apply to Academy X-- You may choose a few Non-Mutant Skills if you feel they apply to your character. We do not insist that your character be a blank slate, we assume that they will have learned things outside the Academy-- We just want to know what those things are. Be selective on what items you choose to list, and at what level (Beginner, Intermediate, and Master). We expect that your characters history will provide an explanation for the skills that you've chosen to add.

For Example: Sophia was an avid cheerleader and took gymnastics before coming to the Academy... So she could have a Non-Mutant Skill of: Gymnastics {Intermediate}.


▒████████████████████████▒


Current Members: So you've been a member of the Academy awhile, and after hard work, training, crazy battles and classes-- You'd like to think your character would have learned something other than how to paint their toenails. If you's like to add a Non-Mutant Skill to your character, all you have to do is send an upgrade form to the moderators for approval. No credits required. The upgrade form will be provided in part IV part of this little diddy.

XXXXXXXXXTo make it easier on players, we have removed the "Credit Based Point System" from play. From now on, all upgrades will need to be submitted to a moderator-- And that moderator will post the Upgrade Request for the other Mods to review. It isn't too terribly long a form, but it will keep things organized-- And make things much easier on the players, and the mods.

XXXXXXXXXThis form must be filled out for BOTH Power Upgrades & Non-Mutant Skill Requests. If some of the fields do not apply for the Non-Mutant Skill-- Skip it. Simply fill it out to the best of your ability. If the form does not make sense to you, ask a moderator for assistance. Submit this to The Bunit or Taibhse.

▒████████████████████████▒


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX▒█F R E Q U E N T L Y - A S K E D - Q U E S T I O N S:█▒ ↓

XXXXXX▒█Question: How do I obtain a Second or Third Character?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: You will have to have been an ACTIVE member of Academy X. Next you will need to create a mule. (All characters, are played on separate Gaia Avatar's to prevent confusion.) And finally you will need to submit the application and join request to one of the Moderator's listed on the home page-- Just like you did for your first character. Any and all 2nd Characters will be approved or denied on moderator discretion. Please be patient.

PM The Bunit or Taibhse Directly if you are looking for a 4th Character.

XXXXXX▒█Question: How many posts should I make per week?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: We require one post per week, two paragraphs a piece. If you can't make it-- Leave a note in the absent thread.

XXXXXX▒█Question: How do I obtain a ID Badge or Badge Update?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: New Players will obtain Badges either immediately when they are approved, or in the first week of play. If you need an update, or a picture change-- PM The Bunit

XXXXXX▒█Question: I have an idea for a plot, who do I send it to?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Any Moderator

XXXXXX▒█Question: What things are provided by the Academy for my character?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Room and Board of course... But upon initially arriving, students are given a Laptop and Comm Unit. They are also given a campus ID {ID Badges}-- And a personalized re-loadable Visa Card with 200$ petty cash on it, each month. They have access to vehicles that they can borrow, so long as they have a valid drivers license. They are also given an X-Men Uniform.

XXXXXX▒█Question: What are my team colors?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Nova = Purple // Atlas = Green

XXXXXX▒█Question: Who are the current Headmasters?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Professor Xavier

XXXXXX▒█Question: Is Jean alive in this Guild?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Yes. She has come back from the White Room...More or less herself. Though fractured, her telepathy and telekinesis are quite powerful. The actual Phoenix Force has not made an appearance. No, she has not reunited with Scott Summers... Before she left for the "last time" she placed the mental suggestion in Scott's head that he move on, and take care of the School. He has done that, and is currently in a relationship with Emma...Jean, unwilling to undo what she had done simply keeps her peace...Very, Very bitterly... She is using her maiden name.

(Side Note: The only cannon character that is known to be dead is the Blob.)


XXXXXX▒█Question: Do I need to know a lot about the X-Men to Join this Guild?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: You don't have to be an expert, considering all of the player characters are Original. But some knowledge of the X-Men doesn't at all hurt. Wikipedia if you are shaky, is an excellent resource. Also uncannyxmen.net.

XXXXXX▒█Question: Are any powers off limits?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Yes. They are Telepathy/Empathy/Or Any Reality Warping abilities. They are too easily God-Modded. These powers aren't technically banned, but we prefer if a mod from the guild used them to keep the abilities in check.

XXXXXX▒█Question: What do I do if I'm confused with the story, and I don't know what to do with my character?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Ask a moderator for assistance.

XXXXXX▒█Question: If someone has an upgrade request, that changes more than one stat area--Do they need to submit two upgrade forms?█▒ ↓
☎▬Answer: Nope. Just submit one form, with everything you need to change on it.
