The year was 2000! Some said we would meet the new millennium with a world-ending event but instead, we were introduced to something much more interesting, or worse... Depending on who you ask. It all started with a leaked file over the internet. Classified American Government Information. A list containing the full names and addresses of every Citizen that possessed a gene is simply referred to as an 'x-gene'. This X-gene apparently could give people God-like abilities! This started an instant rampage fueled by the fear of knowing these people were walking among us and have been for a while now. The public demanded not only answers but solutions with riots and other random acts of violence sending the federal and local government officials in a panic. Of course, the American Government wasn't the only one affected by this! Those whose names were on the leaked list faced immediate hate and discrimination... Sometimes worse. Many fled to other countries changing their identity entirely to stay safe while some refused to leave and took claim to their right to the same freedoms their fellow Americans had. Fast forward to the current year... 2005. Much has changed since the information on the X-Gene. The news and social media alike have coined the term "Millennials" to represent those with the X-Gene due to one simple fact, it seems all those with the gene were born in Generation Y who is also called Millennials. The Government took up a surprising amount of responsibility for the leak of information, offering programs much like the Witness Security Program and much more. One of these said programs became known as 'The Academy'. The Academy was said to be for adult Millennials of the age 18 to 23, a place to teach fresh adults how to handle their abilities and become ready for what the rapidly changing real world would have to offer them. But for those who were accepted into the Academy, it became more to... A training ground, a school, a home. The Academy acts much like your typical college only geared toward Millennials and due to the high cost of proper care for those with the X-Gene its resident count is very low. In fact, only 7 Millennials are accepted every year. This round of fresh Millennials is referred to as 'Newbies' by all the upperclassmen and even the professors from time to time. You will be playing as one of the Newbies at the start of this roleplay, having only attended the Academy for four days so far. You are young and unwise but you seek to prove yourself to the rest of the community in a way that is specific to you... But little did you know you would have your chance to do it just so very soon! Note: The exact plot and problem for the Newbies will be worked out with everyone playing and once the 7 Newbie spots have been filled! Let us make this personal to our characters! To those interested in joining: The Academy will not be played in typical ttrpg fashion but instead will be played out like a standard pbp forum-based roleplay. Much like the roleplays found on Gaia Online (if you are aware of what that is). There will be no system used. For more information on this kind of play just send me a pm. Also, this game will be heavily adult-themed with romance and all the work. That does not mean it will be strictly or even mostly that. ***How to Join*** Just simply message me with the pm titled "X-Gene"
