X-MEN: Initiative


HOME UTOPIA HISTORY FAQ RULES CHARACTERS JOIN	HISTORY The game restarted as of January 2012. This page is designed as an overview of the world. We are POST Decimation, meaning that no one is going to be discovering new powers. The characters have had their powers since before Decimation, however that doesn't mean that they went to Utopia. This is a list of "Must know" events for the game. The year is 2012, all the socio/economic/political events up to that point have happened. Mutants ARE publicly known, and considered a major threat. The US government has been slow to enact any kind of mutant registration act, however. Not the least reason being backlash from mutant supporters whenever legislation was suggested. Xavier's Institute no longer exists. Though few people know the story for certain, it appears that a humans-first group known as the Purifiers attacked the site of the school. The building was leveled, and never rebuilt. After this happened, the X-men became a much more public force, though they had previously been known, but not really acknowledged. The group moved from the east coast to the west, and raised their own private island, named Utopia. It is located in San Francisco bay, but the X-men often leave the island and are seen actively in the city regularly. Utopia is a brand new island, still in the final stages of construction. As such, many of the facilities aren't ready yet, and many of San Francisco's residents are uncertain about the new additions to the city. The population is completely aware that mutants exist, and have been for years. A revelation that brought about much rioting when it was discovered. About 90% of the population does not approve of mutants to one degree or another.
