About this World

A clandestine facility holds young mutants, each discovering powers linked to their deepest fears and traumas. Using the X-Men power system, these abilities manifest as psychic projections, elemental control, and physical mutations, all shaped by emotional turmoil.

World History

Following a catastrophic 'manifestation event' blamed on mutantkind, a secret government program, the Dawnhold Project, was established. It ostensibly shelters newly awakened mutants, but its true purpose is to study and weaponize their powers, which often erupt violently during traumatic nightmares.

Factions

Essex Academy for Therapeutic Development

Psionic Manifestation

A private institution masquerading as a psychiatric hospital and boarding school for young mutants. It employs advanced, unethical methods to study and suppress mutant abilities, believing uncontrolled powers are a dangerous mental illness requiring correction and containment.

The Uncontained

Psionic Manifestation

A loose, hidden network of young mutants who have escaped or avoided institutional capture. They survive on the fringes of society, viewing their powers as intrinsic parts of their identity rather than illnesses. They seek freedom and self-understanding, fearing discovery and 'treatment'.
