			On Nov 15, 2027, a protection spell was cast by Wanda Maximoff and Doctor Strange on Xavier's School. The school is concealed from spying, scans or surveillance whether visual, electronic or magical. The school will seem as nothing other than a typical human preparatory school even if there are mutants or the Blackbird flying around above it, or the buildings were burning. Entering the grounds will reveal the school's true state to normal senses. The spell can distinguish friend from foe and will not hinder perceptions of students or staff.

'''What is Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters?'''
It is a special institute outside of Salem Center, New York, founded and led by Professor Charles Xavier. The School trains young mutants in controlling their powers, and help fosters a friendly human-mutant relationship. The student body is exclusively mutants. Other meta-humans are not admitted. See +group xavier.
 
'''What is the school's theme?'''
 
The school teaches Charles Xavier's dream, that humans and mutants should coexist peacefully. Generally ethical behavior is expected, but the school aims to help students and staff both to become better people. There is room for telling stories that involve darker ethical dilemnas, and the school provides a good contrast for that. But generally the school administration strives to do the right thing by the stereotypical sense of 'good'.
 
'''How does my mutant character join?'''
 
You should talk to the group when apping and we can join you to the channel even before approval. The school generally recruits students they become aware of via Cerebro, the news, allies, or other sources. Students could handwave the recruitment being off-camera and show up at school on their first day, or willing players can be found to come do a recruitment scene. You can even make a plot of it.
 
Staff prefers canon characters be their most common canon portrayal. So FCs not normally associated with the school or X-men are usually asked to RP their way in on-camera, rather than inventing a non-canon history they were there all along. Exceptions may happen, so ask, but realize it is rarely approved.
 
'''What does the general public know about Xavier's School?'''
 
To the public, it is a normal, private preparatory school that also offers some college-level classes. The public does not know the student body are entirely mutants. Any IC portrayal that exposes a connection between the school and mutants requires consent by group leadership for minor matters, and possibly staff for major matters. If planning to do something that suggests "mutant", then leave the words "Xavier's School" or anything pointing that direction out of the depiction.
 
If you are a publicly acknowledged mutant, please do not publicly reveal having employment at the school. I.e. Hank McCoy is a famous mutant, so should not say in public that he is employed at Xavier's. Charles Xavier, known as the school founder and as a mutant, is the lone exception.
 
'''What do PCs and special NPCs know about the school?'''
 
NPC and PC family members of students (i.e. Rogue's father, Cannonball's siblings) may know about the school's mutant connection so long as they preserve the secret.
 
Non-connected PCs require group (and possibly staff) approval first. No one, including boyfriends or girlfriends, should be brought to the school without advanced consent. This is not meant to hinder RP and people have been brought in on the secret over time. The goal is to do it in appropriate to theme and not so widespread it breaks the RP environment. Anyone brought in on the secrets are bound by the same rules above.
 
The Avengers have been close allies who are allowed to be in the know about the school, as are a handful of individual allies. Some have even taught at the school. Some very high-knowledge others might know, such as Nick Fury, Amanda Waller, or Batman, but should confirm approval first.
 
'''How does the school keep secret IC?'''
 
Much like why Clark Kent's glasses work, we are just accepting this is so without detailing it fully. But suffice it to say the collection of technical, magic, and telepathic skills available have allowed this to be done in an ethical way and you can throw some details into a scene if you like.
 
When the school receives a visitor who is not 'in the know', an alert goes out to cease mutant power use. Either a psychic illusion, or Image Inducers are used.
 
'''Can I have an Image Inducer?'''
 
If you are a student or X-man with a non-human appearance, staff has approved you having an Image Inducer that creates a single holographic identity of a generic person, without needing a +sheet entry. Those who already look human, or just wish to have an Image Inducer with more functionality (like additional appearances) must +request it from staff as a +sheet addition. In the latter case, a scene being given the Inducer may be required.
 
'''What do students know about the X-Men?'''
 
The students know the X-Men exist, are based out of the school, and which of their teachers are members. Many students aim to become X-Men some day. Classes on controlling mutant powers may take place in the Danger Room. The lowest levels of the X-Men base are off-limits to students without reason and supervision by an X-man. Students know the X-Men have the Blackbird, but are not allowed in the hangar. Yes the basketball court opens up to the hangar, but it is an emergency exit rarely used. The plane normally flies out of a long underground tunnel that exits far from the school.
 
Secrecy about the X-Men must also be maintained per their news file. Other PCs allowed into the school as instructors are assumed to learn about the X-Men, and are also bound by the secrecy rules regarding them.
