Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
Mutants: Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.
When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything. Will it be used for the greater good? Or will it be used for personal or for destructive ends?
The X-men, mutants with unusual powers, they try to protect those around them, even those who fear them.
The Brotherhood, mutants who believe that because of their powers they are better than those who don't have any.
Both sides have powers and both sides are against each other. Many clashes have happened and another is about to begin...
This is a werewolf style game and here are the roles:
X-men and Villagers
Spoiler
Professor Xavier – Seer – using the power of his mind he can scan the mind of a target of his choice to find out who they are, to keep it hidden he can only do this at night. Scrys as Seer/fool.
Wolverine – Baner – using the fact that he can heal extremely fast he will pretend to be one person each night letting the attack target him, knowing that he can heal from the attack. If he is targeted without preparation (aka targeting someone else) then the attack can kill him. Scrys as Baner.
Shadowcat – Day Baner – She can use the fact that she can phase through matter to save someone from the lynch. At any time she may send a PM to the moderators with the name of a person to save from the next lynch. If successful results in a no lynch situation. Scrys as Day Baner.
Rogue – Voider – She can use her power drain once per night to stop another person from using their night action. As the drain also gives rogue some of the memories there is a small chance of getting a true scry on the target. This comes back as a Player is or is not <role>. Scrys as Voider.
Mimic – Fool – Has taken the form of Professor Xavier but not the full power of his telepathy as a result the scrys are undirectional in that they reveal a random choice from one of the remaining roles. Scrys as Seer/fool.
Storm – Sniper – Angry at the situation Storm can use the power of a lightning bolt to attack each night. This attack will kill a target unless protected by the baner. However this attack requires a lot of energy and cannot be used two nights in a row. Scrys as Sniper
Cyclops and Jean Gray – Lovers – Start the game searching for each other and as a result will be ably to scry someone once per night. This scry will only reveal whether the person is the other lover. Once one person has scried the other, Jean gets her full telepathic powers and can do true scrys until the end of the game. Scott can still scry after he has found Jean but the results will still only be Jean/not Jean. If either is killed then the other goes with them. If one is autolynched then the other is not killed but they can never get the full scry ability. Scrys as Lover.
Pyro and Iceman – Rivals – Fire and Ice don’t mix so these two have a grudge against each other. Both of them have the same win condition, The other one is dead and they survive when the game ends. These two are the only ones who know who the other is. Scrys as Rival.
Leech – Nullifier – He has an unusual power to negate other mutants’ powers, as such no night action or the day bane work against him, however he survives the first attack on him. Scrys as no result.
Villagers – Several other villagers are trying to work out who is good and who is bad to work out who to kill, although they have different names the names are withheld to stop a mass name call from completely ruining the game. Scrys as Villager. There are no special powers in this group that will affect the game play.
The X-men and Villager team have the default win condition of eliminate the brotherhood.
Brotherhood
Spoiler
Magneto – Alpha – Currently leading the brotherhood, Magneto has a lot of practise blocking scrys. Magneto also chooses who plays Mystique and Psylock but the rest are picked randomly. Scrys as Villager.
Mystique – Disguiser – Ability to shape-shift can cause all sorts of problems for your enemies as they don’t know if they can truly trust anyone, because that person might be you. Mystique can change the appearance of herself at night to fool a scry. Scrys as Disguiser if her power is not used otherwise Scrys as whatever she chooses.
Psylocke – Devil – Able to scan one person a night and work out exactly who they are. Scrys as Devil.
Nitro – Beast – An unstable mutant who often explodes with a lot of force, Psylock has tried to shut down his powers but it hasn't worked to well. As a result if he dies he takes out the person who killed him, a random person from those who voted for him if he is lynched. Scrys as Beast.
Wolves – The rest of the brotherhood can help decide who to kill at night, they may also do the killing. There are no special powers in this group that will affect the game play. The scry as Wolf.
The Brotherhood’s win condition is to get the number of people in the brotherhood equal to the number of people in the X-men and Villager team.

I'm in, but what's the point of Scott's scry after he finds Jean? Is it only to attempt to cause interference?

Yes, but be advised that you should have bandages and anti-toxins ready. I don't want you to die prematurely. An ability to regrow limbs would be very handy as well. We don't want another Kamikazee incident.
