The Academy [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Welcome to the Academy, an alternate learning and research center for gifted youth. In a world of fear, uncertainty, we offer a safe inclusive space for the most vulnerable of adolescents to find themselves, and give them the resources to adapt to a world not made for them.
Gifted adolescents ages twelve through sixteen need only to have their legal guardians send an application to be considered for enrollment in the upcoming school year.
Those interested in teaching or research opportunities at the Academy should contact the administration.

Using the Marvel Universe RPG corebook or the mutant expansion, players are allowed 1 mutant or magic wielding teen, and 1 teacher (can be civilian for GED subjects, mutant, or magic wielding) character. Contact the GM if you need assistance in getting your hands on the corebook PDFs.
In general, the idea behind this game is a sort of alternate Marvel universe for the X-Men franchise, where the mutant gene is far more rare, and stories about mutants are more like urban legends and shady tabloid fodder.
Because the main cast will be young, 12-16, character generation stones will be reduced from 40 to 20 with 5 extra challenge stones max. The idea is that the characters are still developing, and as the game progresses I will let players know when they've earned extra character generation stones, or as circumstances happen, when they may take on another challenge for additional challenge stones.
Adult / teacher characters may start with the full 40 stones, and up to 10 extra stones from challenges.
Canon characters from the Marvel franchise will be allowed, but remember that you are playing their teen version in an alternate universe (think X-Men: Evolution) and that experience gain will be dependent on how well you stay in character.
