AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, ORIGINAL PLOT X-MEN RPG

Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Ethan Hopes skated down 1st avenue in New York city. This was a daring thing to do especially as a mutant with his mutation. He was covered head to toe in thick clothing so that his glow wouldn't attract to much attention. He weaved through the crowd while shaking a spray paint can in his right hand. Up ahead he saw an window case that belonged to and out of business shop. Quickly he skated up to the window and pressed down on the cap releasing the paint. He whipped around the can writing in huge bright letters, 'X marks the spot!' he tossed the can to the ground as he heard. "HEY YOU FREEZE!" looking over his shoulder he saw a cop running his way, not looking to happy. Ethan quickly ripped off his heavy clothing so that he was standing in a pair of shorts. The crowd around him covered there eyes as his magnificent glow unleashed filling the street with light. "Later dude!" Ethan yelled before taking off into the sky.

He flew up high above the sky scrapers, looking down at the people below, he hoped they got the reference to the X-gene that he had just put into his vandalism. He wasn't normally an activist but he didn't like the fact that humans were starting to oppress mutants. Ethan looked over at the sun he was absorbing energy from, it was getting low in the sky and he would soon be alot more noticeable flying through the sky. Ethan dove down towards the street and turned at the last minute flying into a subway station. A few people screamed at the sudden flash of light as Ethan flew through the station and into the tunnels. He dimmed the amount of light emitting from his body as he weaved through the tunnel network. He came to a stop and touched down in front of a tunnel that was boarded off. Ethan removed several loose boards and slipped behind the barrier. Turning around he saw what was in his eyes Paradise. There was an abandoned subway car that had an entire section cut out of its side. There was a overstuffed mattress sitting on the ground, opposite from a makeshift fire pit, Various items were scattered around the area. This was the place he had been living since he first came to New York. Ethan knelled down, and whistled. "Here Lucy," He said and a small chocolate Labrador ran from under on of the blankets sitting on the mattress and ran up to Ethan licking his face. "Missed you to girl." Ethan said as he stood and walked over to one of the benches hitting the on button to a boom box and the area filled up with loud music. Ethan stretched and collapsed onto the mattress and the lab ran up and lied down next to him. "Home sweet home huh girl?" Ethan asked petting Lucy's head.
