Breaking the Fourth Wall: "Dear Creed, if I recall right, you tried to kill me in Wolverine's Origins. Of course that didn't work. Also, during earth 616 you and I were always at either others throats. And I'm still doing whatever it is that Wolverine does better! And since we are in warped reality mostly being pulled from the movieverse. You should remember me... Nancy."
Mana4X2;; An X-Men RPG started out like any other X-Men RPG. Interested ones joined, took up characters, and helped to continue the Fan Fiction our little universe picked up from. Some stayed. Others disappeared, some coming back after real life stopped kicking them in the butt. Characters grew. Writers grew. The site had to be edited, defined, and reorganized to compensate. From Yahoo Groups, we moved to EzBoards. From EzBoards, we moved, and settled right into, InvisionFree. From no applications to desperately needing them. From no rules to having the need to define them for the advantage of everyone.
Now, we are well and truly into our 5th year of existence, dealing with the after effects of a plot that gave the site an entire new direction, with many, many other exciting new Side Plots and Site Wides to come. In fact, we have enough already planned to help Mana4X2 last another five years and then some!

Plot = Man's Best Friend
They had worked so hard to make the perfect killing machine. To create it from scratch. To take and alter. To force and coerce. They had thought themselves proud to be ready long in advance. Ready to unlock the cages and, under the direct orders of the Leaders of the Friends of Humanity, send them into the field, where every mutant in New York City would be their targets. They had succeeded in what they had set out to do, but none of them could have imagined how wrong they could be, because, in giving the most efficient of hunters a brain on par with a humans, they gave them the capacity to think;; to learn;; to decide for themselves they no longer wanted to follow the exact thing they had been made for.
Beast: “Indubitably, not merely an alpha at all but something different. We've already established they're intelligent and from what the others have said, they appear stronger, more agile and durable. It's the determination I find most frightening, that and looking in that dog's eyes and seeing it looking back.”
Just after 11PM on November 31st, continuing on until just before dawn December 1st, Man’s Best Friend became their worst enemy!

Boilmet: “Shall I begin with showing you a list of the Departments we offer here, Information Technology, An extensive Security Division, Antiquities & Art, Automotive & Transport, Music, Building Contractors, Hospitality, a chain of NYC Nightclubs, and at least one entire floor dedicated to Fashion & Accessories."
WELCOME to DME!
"Please, sit, tell me what it is you believe you can offer my company.”

SUMMERS FAMILY PORTRAIT
Blade Girl: “Oh my goodness…” she whispered. “Scott and Jean… he made you… you’re their Son!”
X Man: "Sorta," he supplied like the five year old he was deep down inside. "I'm not a clone exactly, not like I received the cool beam powers from my paternal side."

"We dream for a better world
Where the struggle for acceptance no longer exists.
My X-Men, believe in me, as I believe in you.
Our Passion. Our dream. Our ultimate success."
“My X-Men, the President of the United States himself has approached me to form a sort of alliance with the government, a partnership if you will, where we will be called upon when those without the abilities we can offer them cannot achieve the desired result. At first, there was a list of terms given to me, to us, orders, if you will, of which I was quick to point out to the Department of Defense that the X-Men answer to no one now, nor will they ever answer to anyone in the future. My refusal to follow those terms was met with something I have not seen towards mutant kind in a very long time… understanding, compassion, an outright asking me what our terms would be, the first of which they were not the least bit surprised with, ‘Only if the majority of my X-Men agree this could be a step towards all of us living side by side in peace will I even consider your proposal’. This is why I am coming to you now. I am asking you all to consider what this could mean for our future, for the future of all mutant kind…”
Times are changing, the canine attack has brought mutants into an entirely new light. The above proposal is for all mutants living in the US… will YOU keep an open mind and possibly eventually agree to become a member of Agency X?
