Plots

Plots make the world go 'round!

But, sometimes it can be hard to keep track of them or know how to plug yourself in! To that end, here is a repository for the various threads of plotting that are being woven through our game. If you want to add plot information here, please include what the plot is, how players might hook into it, and who to contact about getting involved.

The Mendel Clinic

Currently still just a dream on the horizon, the Mendel Clinic is the brainchild of Dr. Iolaus Saavedro, currently a physician at Mount Sinai Hospital. While the intent and mission of the clinic are not known to many people, Dr. Saavedro intends it to be the world's first dedicated mutant clinic, catering to the unique needs of those with the X-Gene. An ambitious goal, and one sure to earn him no end of vilification when it comes to light -- but no small measure of respect, too, from those sympathetic to the cause.

For the moment, though, a mutant-targeted clinic is not something the city looks kindly on. The Clinic's construction requires no end of jumping through hoops; with city permits, with construction, with legal restrictions. There's no end of people on the city side, too, who would be very happy if this project never came to fruition.

Contact Iolaus about the Clinic and all politicking surrounding it!

Project Prometheus

Every so often, someone in the government will propose a new and horrifying plan for dealing with mutants. Lock them all in camps. Execute them. Put them in labs to find out what makes them tick. As yet, the most extreme of these have all been shot down -- publically, anyway.

Though it is kept extremely quiet and government involvement kept even moreso, the past years have seen a quiet rise in mutant disappearances. Some resurface, eventually, some do not, but stories have trickled out of mutants taken off to laboratories, locked away for months or years of grueling experimentation. Perhaps someone is trying to weaponize them, perhaps control them, perhaps just find a way to nullify their powers; whatever the case, it is certainly true that these labs are out there, scattered in hidden locations and leaving quite a few mutants with a lifetime of nightmares, if they are lucky enough to get out.

Project Prometheus involves doctors and scientists of all stripes, and there is always room to work it into people's backstories (or future stories!), either as experimenter or experimentee. Contact Rasheed or Shane for all your mad scientist (or labrat) needs!

Club Freeside

Those with a finger on the pulse of NYC nightlife may have heard rumblings that DJ Straylight (Merit Constantine by day) is planning to open a 'mutant dance club' in West Village. Rumors about Freeside vary wildly: some claim that the place will only allow mutants through the door, while others think it is a would-be haven for mutant crime syndicates. Straylight himself will talk shop about it only with select individuals, but word is he has an interest in finding mutants to staff the place once it opens. Contact Merit if you are interesting in staffing, backing, or opposing Club Freeside!
