At the moment Twisted Destiny is designed to have four different groups open for player characters: the X-Men, the Acolytes of Magneto, the Friends of Humanity and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Since it can be expected that anyone who joins the site is familiar with the X-Men background, I'm not going to go into detailed descriptions of the individual teams. However, there are some things that need to be said:

The X-Men and the Acolytes are the two main groups on the board, and we hope to have the bulk of the characters in these two groups. Depending on how things run we might limit the numbers of Brotherhood and FOH characters, but as of this post there is no limit.

The Friends of Humanity are an anti-mutant group, so the characters applying for it should be normal humans. We will only be allowing mutant characters in this group under extremely unusual circumstances. They also tend to distrust other superhuman beings, which means that we'll be very critical of Iron Man type characters for instance.

The Brotherhood of Mutants are a very loose organization, and also quite a small one. That means that they don't have a fixed headquarters or suchlike. However, since they tend to act out of pragmatism rather than philosophical ideals this is a decent faction for characters lacking the morality of the X-Men or the devotion to the Acolyte cause.

At the moment we want to try and get the different groups populated with characters, so that we won't be accepting unaffiliated characters that are planned to stay that way. However if you want to play a character who joins a faction in-game, then we can work with that.
