Marvel Comics (X-MEN) Days Of Future Past {OOC}

I would like to run a game in the era of DAYS OF FUTURE PAST from Uncanny X-Men.

For those of you who are not familiar, this is the time period in the future when being a mutant is illegal. Sentinels openly hunt mutants. Mutants have no rights and are sent to concentration camps. The super-heroes of the modern world are no more. They have been hunted down, killed, locked up or are hiding for their lives.

What I have in mind is the Mutants and Masterminds system and 4-6 players. The characters would be 15-18 years old and still in high school. More than likely they do not have any indication they are a mutant. Maybe they think something is a little different about themselves, but they could not imagine they were actually a mutant. The characters would all be in high school together in a mid-sized American town. No super-hero has ever set foot there and Sentinels have never been seen there. But, the threat is real and part of ever day life and everyone knows it.

I am basically looking to see if there is any interest in such a game. I have always wanted to run an adventure in this era but it has never happened. Characters would be low-powered and I would set up the specifics on character generation to make sure of that.

This game would contain a high level of role-playing. Character background and interaction would be essential. If there is enough interest I would have to pick the best candidates based off of the proposals sent in. I would hate to deny anyone a good game, but I would also hate to pass up good potential as well.

Let me know what you think!

Sounds kinda cool. I'd be interested.

I'd be interested, but from what I recall of the two issues of DoFP, I doubt low powered characters would stand much of a chance given that

(A)The Sentinels are Omnipresent.

(B)They can detect mutants.

Mutants, Superheroes, and teenage angst?!?

Count me in!! I've tried to play a couple of times. Looking for a great game and I know you'll deliver, nuke!

When and what do you want in character ideas?

In MY DoFP they can detect mutants but are not omnipresent. Especially not in Smalltown, USA.

There have been many stories that have taken place in versions of that era and TSR did 4 modules for the old Marvel RPG and I promise there are ways to survive. If there wasn't there would not be much of a game.

This will be about learning what you are and how to deal with it personally as well as within a society that hates you. And hunts you. And wants you dead.
Thankfully there are always those who disagree with society!!

Don't need stats yet as I would like to make sure the interest is there before we get into that. If you want to run a character past me I would like an idea of powers you have in mind.

As far as background, everything will help. Hobbies, activities, friends, family, family life, pets, school life and life goals just to name a few.

And thanks for the kind words, Kiea!!

I've never gamed before but, I'll give it a shot if there is room.

I'm interested too. Just leave me two days to finish school and I can write up a background.

Thinking either the intagible survivor of a Sentinel attack (stuck in 'ghost' form), a former hound in hiding or maybe the son/daughter of one of my old Marvel Super Hero charcters (an energy manipulator who is able to 'sheild' his/her energy auras from the sentinels)

*crawls out of his hole*
the days of the future past just rule. My absolute favourite period in the X-Men storyline. Even have a character lying around that I think could work. Deffinatly interested.
