Salutations to all The Chosen of Aldrip,
My name is Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of Gloucester of England and the son of Duke of York. My time in this world may be merely a blink of an eye compared to some of you who have been residing here for over a full calendar year, experiencing the change of all four seasons under the sky. However, during my brief stay I have come to notice that there are plenty of wrongs in this world, which threatens the peace of our lives here. Now, some of these wrongs might be out of our control, such as the afflictions plaguing our environment. Or the activities of the council. However, this does not mean that we are completely powerless.
It has come to my attention that thee has been a several times when we have been faced with a violent threat and an attack, be it from monstrous creature from the depths of the ocean or a curse spreading among ourselves. I fully believe that we, as a community, could benefit from organizing ourselves so that we might be prepared when the next crisis arrives to our doorsteps.
I call forward anyone with any combat training, be it from military training, self-taught or magically oriented, and share their knowledge to those who might lack skills in self-defense. It is not in my intention to position myself as a leader, nor a raise an army, but to strengthen our teamwork and cooperation as a community. I am myself experienced knight who fought and served my king in a civil war known as War of Roses, and currently I'm learning the usage of firearms under the tutelage of Mr. Valentine. I am willing to train and pass down my knowledge to anyone who is willing to learn. However, I am aware that I am out of my depths and that many of you possesses abilities both as fighters and as tacticians that I could not even fathom. Which is why I sincerely hope those individuals to answer my call and step forward and help create a safer city.
Signed,
Richard Plantagenet, The Duke of Gloucester

plus we're already bankrolled by a guy who's stinking rich, so we don't need the money.

There is actually a quite lot that Richard disagrees here. How not partaking in wars and support a lord is same as making the world better place? If they truly have the such fantastical power, shouldn't they utilize it to crush their enemies and quell restlessness -- to help their Lord and King to bring their cause and dream into reality?
The scenario Morph paints makes them see nothing more than lawless group of independent actors -- like bandits, believing only in their own shallow cause without loyalty.]
Sounds quite complicated situation your group is in.

long story short, the X-Men are mutants, which is a term that means we're all born with our powers. a lot of regular humans don't like the idea of mutants just, you know, existing alongside them. so the cause of the X-Men is to try to get humans to like us better by beating up the mutants that use their powers for crime or to terrorize people.
