The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Ophelia sat down on the edge of her bed and looked around at the hotel clean room. It was so bare and so....small.
Her things sat unpacked in her suitcase. She couldn't face it at the moment. Why had she wanted to come here again? At home she could have done what she liked. She would have had a bigger bedroom. She looked out of her open door into the hallway and realized how much she regretted this decision.

Gina sauntered down the hall, in the direction of the main stairwell. Now that she was off of her house arrest, she was doing everything in her power to be outside as often as possible. Nothing, absolutely nothing, would keep her inside today. As she walked down the hall, she glanced in through open doorways to see who she knew, and if she knew people, she'd simply wave. If not, she'd stop and say hello anyways. It was her self-assigned duty, as the welcome wagon. Daily cheer-bringer
She peered into one such room, and spied a very unfamiliar face. A pretty-looking girl, blonde hair, who seemed rather pensive over a rather stark room. Ooh, new kid. Stark room. Her unpacked things sat untouched. The girl was staring straight out into the hall, so they had both spied each other.
"Hi," Gina greeted simply, poking her head around the door, "Nice day, yeah?" It was a pretty nice day, sunny and not too unbearably muggy. Perfect flying weather. Had they not been in the Mansion, Gina probably wouldn't have approached her, but seeing as the girl was in the dorms, she was probably a student. They already had something in common, right there.
Ophelia blinked twice. She had heard of those unfortunate enough to have a visible mutation but she had never met one in real life. Her eyes scanned the body of the girl in front of her. She looked younger, wlthough not by much but what Ophelia noticed more was the wings on her back.
"You have wings" she said bluntly, ignoring the comment about the weather.

"You have wings," the girl observed. Yeah, this girl was definitely a new kid. Else she would have had class and dealt with the formalities of customary greetings before cutting straight to the chase.
Gina quirked her eyebrow, stepping further into the doorway so as to reveal the full extent of her mutations, from the speckled grey skin, to her feet, to her tail. If she stared closely enough, she might even see her teeth, taloned hands, or horns. It was no big deal-- after all, if this girl was here, she probably had a mutation of her own.
"Yup, last I checked," Gina said dryly, smirking as she made a show of glancing over her shoulder, as if to double-check and see that her wings were still there, "Among other things." She looked at the girl, casually crossing her arms across her chest, "The name's Gina. I take it you're new around here?" Her tail curled at its tip in mild humor.
Ophelia blushed slightly as the girl made fun of what she had said. "Oh no... I just meant...." she trailed off. The girl probably got this all the time, looking the way she did. Ophelia never had that. She was always admired on the street. To look like the girl in front of her would be her worst nightmare.
"Ophelia." she said, her eyes flicking nervously to Gina's tail. "and yes, I am."

Just as she always had, Gina allowed the girl to stumble over an explanation anxiously. It didn't take an empath to see that she was nervous about being here-- new kids were usually quite full of nerves, anyways, and their first encounters with Xavier's resident gargoyle were always a fraction awkward.
"Relax," Gina assured her, chuckling, "You're among friends here. I'm not offended." Her tail subconciously twisted around her feet into better view. It took a lot to truly piss Gina off, and she knew that the girl wasn't trying to be rude, "Nice to meet you, Ophelia. Are you here for school? Have you gotten the grand tour yet?"
Now came the rapid-fire questions, and there would be no stopping Gina now.
Ophelia smiled in relief, though she would have to get used to the visibly mutated.
She paused for a moment. School? She hadn't really thought about it. She had just turned 18 so she guessed she could still attend some classes. "I guess so. I just came here to meet some people like me so I hadn't really thought about it." she said, her english accent becoming more prominant as she relaxed a little. "I've seen the gardens and I peered into some rooms as I came here but apart from that I haven't, was I meant to?"

Gina watched as the other girl decompressed, and she slouched casually against the door jamb as she spoke. Ophelia had a pleasant voice, accented by what sound to be a British affect. Lucky. British accents were so beautiful, in Gina’s opinion. She sounded every bit as Californian as she truly was, and people often mistakingly asked her if she’d ever surfed, lived on the beach, or that sort of thing… well, she’d never surfed…
“Sometimes they give tours, yes, if people intend on staying a while,” Gina informed the other girl, folding her her arms and crinkling her nose in a smile, “I missed out when I first moved here for school, but managed to wedge myself into one later. It’s easy to get lost around here, so they usually make a point of telling you where everything is…” She broke off, recallin her tour in which she had met Andrew and Tasean, “I know the tour-doing-guy, so if you’re interested, I could hook you up with one. I’d offer to give you a tour myself, but I still get lost every now again, myself…”
Ophelia thought about it. Was she intending to stay a while. She looked at the white empty walls of the room and then at the smiling girl stood in the doorway.
"Yeah..." she said, suddenly realising that she was really where she belonged, "I'd like that." She laughed and beckoned the girl in.
"You know, I have wings too" ((slight god mod-I'll change it if you're bothered)) she reached out and ran her finger tips over the top of Gina's wings. The felt course and leathery. Ophelia shuddered remembering the feel of hers the one and only time she had ever seen them emerge.

Gina followed the invitation as Ophelia beckoned in, wandering into the room. It had that empty, unoccupied smell. The cold, clean, just-moved-into smell. She simply bobbed her head when the girl agreed to taking a tour. She'd give Drew a holler, ask him to show Ophelia around. He was a pretty mellow guy, so Gina was sure he'd say "yes".
"You know, I have wings too," Ophelia announced.
"Do you?" Gina began to counter skeptically, when she she suddenly felt someone petting her wing. Gina winced out of Ophelia's reach, giving her an inquiring and kind of weirded-out look. Was this girl stroking her wing? God, that was just awkward. It was a strange feeling, to have someone touch her wings. Not unpleasant, but uncomfortable-- the membranes stretching over her wings were thin, so they tended to be quite sensetive... Gina never let anyone touch her wings.
"Yes, they're real," Gina said tightly, edging away slightly. Her wings fluttered awkwardly before clasping tightly behind her back. She might have usually been all touchy-feely with other people, but she wasn't to keen on the idea of having people touch her wings. Kind of like she didn't like people touching her tail, either.
----------
ooc: Not a problem. I'm fine with it, but my character... hahaha, different story.
Opheliatook her hand away quickly to avoid her fingers being batted away by the girls wings. She blushed a little at the the harsh tone. "I'm sorry, it's just yours are so different to mine." she said bluntly, a little annoyed that Gina didn't believe her.

"It's not that," Gina said apologetically, rubbing her brow and closing her eyes as Ophelia blushed and apologized. She simply explained, "It's just that it's kind of awkward when someone just randomly reaches out and touches your wings... it's like... having someone touch your hair because it's different." She shrugged with one shoulder. Perhaps, if she had some forewarning, Gina wouldn't have flinched so dramatically.
"What kind of wings do you have?" Gina said encouragingly, though still a bit awkwardly.
Ophelia paused for a moment in the silence. This wasn't going so well but Gina changed the topic onto her and that was her favourite subject.
"Feathery ones. Brown...I've only seen them twice though." she shrugged, "It hurts when they come out..." "Hurts" was an understatement. It absolutely f***ing killed. She had never experienced pain like it.

Gina paused, arching a thin eyebrow. She'd only heard of mutants that could conceal and summon their wings at-will, and she was not one of them. She came as she was, there was no two ways about it, and there was no means by which she could "hide" her appearance. Some just had wings appear in a fit of sparkles and bogus-ness like that, while others physically summoned them, which it sounded like Ophelia did.
"That would make shopping for clothes so much easier if I could hide my wings," Gina mused aloud, inclining her head and folding her arms as she pressed one, "That's too bad that it hurts to summon your wings, though. Flying's fun."
Ophelia's grin broadened at the mention of clothes. "I can make you some great clothes! I want to be a fashion designer! You could be my new muse- that would be awesome-I f i can make clothes for a girl with wings then I can make clothes for anybo-" she stopped and grimaced playfully. "Sorry, that's my area of expertise" She giggled a little. "I've never been flying."
