Brief Summary Founded in 2011 by Professor Charles Xavier, Xavier's School for the Gifted serves as a port of refuge for many young mutants that have been shunned by society and have nowhere else to go. Students can gain education and also nurture their unique powers under careful supervision and coaching. The Institute also provides logistical support and fresh troops for the covert paramilitary team called the X-Men. Spoken of only in whispers and rumors, the X-Men fight with the cover of anonymity against extremist groups like the Brotherhood of Mutants and Harbingers.

Founded by Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist Charles Xavier, Xavier's School for the Gifted is located in Westchester, New York, about eighty miles north-east of New York City. Officially it's a private preparatory school for exceptional students, offering education through 12th grade and into college advanced placement. In reality Xavier's School for the Gifted is a home for mutants to hone both their unique talents and their minds, in an environment monitored and supervised by other mutants.

It's also much more than a school.

The so-called 'First Class' of original Xavier students took to the field to use their mutant talents in the fight for equality and against many other threats well-suited to their unique abilities. This team of superheroes, dubbed the "X-Men", the team is as much rumor as reality as they have used their powers and knowhow to conceal their existence from the public. The team technically operates independently from the school now, but the School and the X-Men are intrinsically linked: through their leadership, training and recruiting, and the vision of their founder.

General Summary

While it began accepting students in 2009, the history of the grounds extends to colonial times. In the late 1700s, the Greymalkin family settled on the shores of Breakstone Lake in upper Westchester and built a home, all of which would eventually pass to the Xavier family. In recent decades, Charles Xavier, a scientist responsible for work identifying the X-gene and the 'homo superior' species, inherited the estate. Himself a mutant and powerful telepath, he decided to convert his ancestral home into a new kind of school, specifically for 'gifted' young people.

Xavier found his first student in 2006, the young Jean Grey, who suffered under her emerging psychic abilities. He soon sought to gather additional students, and between 2009 and 2011 recruited what would come to be known as the 'First Class': Scott Summers, Bobby Drake, Henry McCoy, John Proudstar and Warren Worthington. Others quickly followed, recruited wherever Charles could find them, such as Ororo Munroe, Alex Summers, Lorna Dane and the young Kitty Pryde. Having learned to control their powerful abilities, they became the X-Men, a heroic team dedicated to Xavier's vision of equality and peaceful coexistence for mutantkind. Their first missions brought them into conflict with frequent enemies like the Sentinels and Mister Sinister. X-Men were present on the ground fighting back during the 2012 Alien Alliance Invasion.

In the following decade, the school has continued to expand and recruit new students, while its older graduates have often returned to teach. The cohort called 'New Mutants' formed during the X-Men's first outing into space, when Professor Xavier believed they had all perished. Once plucky youngsters looking to fill the shoes of those who came before them, they too are now young adults, some having joined the X-Men in full. The 'New Mutants' continue to represent current students at the school with a thirst for adventure and heroics.

Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters is in the large part funded through Xavier's own family fortune. With a dedication to providing a safe haven for Mutants, Xavier invests a significant portion of his personal wealth into the school's operations and infrastructure. Furthermore, he welcomes donations from trusted sources, parents and wealthy alumni who share his vision and commitment to advancing the cause of Mutant rights. Charles ensures that these donations are spent on the school and do not go towards funding the X-Men, to ensure that there is no risk of requirements of funding transparency revealing anything about the secretive mutant superhero team. He keeps a separate fund for the X-Men which is primarily his own money, though he has accepted some secret donations from a few extremely trusted individuals. These funds are instrumental in maintaining the subterranean X-Men base, where the Blackbird aircraft, Danger Room training facility, and Cerebro supercomputer are meticulously upheld. Additionally, the financial contributions aid critical medical research, enhancing the team's abilities and facilitating advancements in Mutant healthcare.

Recent History

After the Johnson-Kinsey Mutant Felon Relocation Act in 2017, the population at Xavier's grew significantly.

In 2020, several members of the school faculty and student body were targeted by different groups seemingly interested in metahuman research and genetics. Mister Sinister helmed one such plot.

When Brainiac targeted mutant population centers in Bushwick, New York and the island nation of Genosha, Xavier's population was affected by their familial and personal ties to these areas. School members joined in helping restore the stolen cities.

Emma Frost, once White Queen of the Hellfire Club, defected and briefly joined Xaviers as a teacher, before establishing herself on her own in Bushwick. Her defection related to another mutant genetics program and the kidnapping of several Xaviers residents, apparently under the auspices of the Hellfire Club.

OOC Info

The Xaviers group represents all of the students, faculty and staff who work at the school, as well as close allies, associates, and regular guests. School students are approached by the school and recruited rather than applicants. Because of the size of the group and the focus on keeping true to the school character, characters who are not canonically based at the School are expected to spend some time RPing their IC recruitment before they are joined to the group. You can request to automatically join the Mutants group first, and communicate and organize RP there.

The X-men are known by some other heroes that they have collaborated with. The Avengers, Justice League and Titans have all worked alongside the X-men before, and are aware of their being based out of Xavier's School. A few other individual allies like Moira MacTaggert and Nick Fury are also aware. Mutants in general might have heard rumors of a mutant superhero team, but are not aware of the connection to Xavier's School. Sharing knowledge about the School's mutant connection should only be done with the approval of the group leads or staff.

The School and the X-Men are closely linked but separate groups. Xavier's School RP focuses on the experience of living at a fancy boarding school with weird mutant classmates and superhero teachers. People RP counseling or student pranks, and past organized events have included graduation, holiday parties, and school trips. Student activism (in the mutant cause) and heroic training can eventually lead to invitation to join the field operations of the X-Men.

Feel free to contact Rogue (OOC faction head) or Jean Grey (IC Headmistress) about joining or with any questions about the group.
