Welcome to X-Men: Avalon, an online collaborative writing experience
"When An Individual Acquires Great Power, The Use Or Misuse Of That Power Is Everything."
~ Professor Charles Xavier
The year is 1992, and the world is trying to cope with the x-gene, a new step in human evolution, according to some. An abomination to nature according to others. Tensions have been on the rise for years, and it all seems to come to a head with groups of mutants across the world revealing themselves.
The Avalon Institute is an educational facility in Scotland financed by an anonymous source and under the leadership of Claire Cavendish the school aims to teach young and developing Mutants not only the regular high school curriculum required by the UK government but also covering the special challenges that the fledgling mutants have to deal with in their lives.
Join the brave and passionate faculty today and impact the minds and hearts of tomorrow!
X-Men: Avalon is based on the X-Men: Animated Series continuity, but all players are asked to create Original Characters for the purposes of the game. We avoid crossing paths with established characters to allow for our creativity to run rampant. Join us today and add your unique X-Person to the team.

The view through the rain-splattered windshield had succumbed to a peaceful monotony, close to an hour clear of New Cresthill on a steady climb uphill that seemed to meander with no real hint of the intended destination. The atmosphere inside the car was surprisingly placid given the nature of the…

It took longer and longer nowadays for the dusk to fully wrap itself around the institute, which made this time of the evening a perfect opportunity for a stroll in the golden rays of the departing sun. Claire hadn't appreciated the freedoms of being able to walk outside and go…

After Claire had gotten Effigy to Rebecca's room it took some effort to find a suitable alternative to Mr. Pebbles that was held under lock and key by the G.O.U., and she definitely swore she'd get it back. For now though, the patchwork mouse made from scraps of cloth she…

A break in the clouds cast a band of sunlight across the Avalon Institute, gilding its stone walls in fleeting warmth. The rain had passed, leaving the air heavy with the scent of wet earth. Below, the G.O.U. encampment stirred to life. Canvas tents folding in on themselves, engines coughing…
