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.

They saw him floating. They hated it. Shin knew in his heart they all were jealous of his birdy.
It was a few days before the tournament, and he was still practicing. He'd practiced the moves until he was Pikablu in the face. Now, Shin was practicing movement for the umpteenth time. The cool thing about Porygon was that his size varied in the game and anime. He could make himself small enough to enter computer systems, or big enough for several people to ride him. Shin was riding him right now, in fact, on the mansion's front lawn. It was a lot like riding a shard platform... except, less-so with the surfing, more-so with the horse-riding. He supposed prolonged riding on a Porygon would make him bow-legged.
For now, though, it was epic. The Porygon reared back, and Shin waved his arm. Yippee~! This was AWESOME!
Kokoro walked through the grounds with her backpack slung over her shoulder and her thumbs pressing the keys of her cellular phone with impressive speed. She'd been texting back and forth between her BFF Jun back in Japan informing her of all the wonders of America. Like how there as a McDonalds or some kind of fastfood joint on every corner, how rude the people in NYC were and the crappy television shows produced. Seriously, whoever came up with the concept of Hannah Montana just deserved to be tortured since the music Miley Cyrus put out has been torturing Kokoro's ears since she had arrived.
Though Kokoro was busy being a textaholic, she had a knack for always picking up the strange and bizarre. Like her cousin riding a giant shiny bird thing like a rodeo bull. The younger Shinbo approached with her right brow arched staring at him. "Having fun, there?" she said. "And...what the heck are you doing exactly?"

Shin paused. That voice. Those words.
She'd seen him riding birdy... and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nope, not a thing. Shin looked over his shoulder at his cousin, calming the wild bird.
"I'm practicing for the Pokemon tournament," Shin replied seriously. "It's pretty awesome. You use your powers to make a Pokemon, and teach it attacks... we're going to compete in a tournament. It'll be fun. I even got Kealey to join," Shin smiled. "Want to ride?"
"...Pokemon?" she blinked. Once Shin gave the explanation, Kokoro shrugged it off. It was a neat concept, but they weren't real pokemon, other wise she would have been really ecstatic because she loved pokemon. Especially water types. Squirtle would always be her #1. "Sure! she beamed at the invitation to ride the shard Porygon. She dropped her stuff and scrambled to climb on it's back behind Shin with her cellphone still in hand Now she had to give Jun the latest update. Shin can make porygons. But first...

"Kealey is..." Pause. How did one describe a person like Kealey? She was kind, caring, beautiful, smart, and... "A friend," Shin replied. "I brought her to the mansion recently. Helped her out. She's helping make the X-men's costumes, and she's making me something too."
Shin bowed his head. It was interesting what answers came to mind the instant someone asked you a point-blank question. More interesting, still, when you were answering such questions on the pink back of a shard-based origami crane. Porygon bobbled forward with a start.
"I'm still not sure who will win the tournament, though. I've got my shard tricks, but she's got hers. I figure we'll both make it to the final round for some big epic battle or something," Shin laughed. Porygon rose in the air, and bounded along across the lawn as they talked.
"Right. A friend or a Friend" Kokoro asked nudging Shin in the back with her elbow. Even more entertaining was the reaction she would get from Jun. While Shin didn't technically say it was his girlfriend, Kokoro already knew what was up. He took way too long to answer the question. Immediately, Kokoro's thumbs went to work on the keypad of her phone and pressed send to deliver the news of Shin's new found squeeze to Jun. Moment's later, a beep was heard from a response text. Kokoro shook her head.
"Jun says you're tearing up her heart and that your taste has declined if you're chasing after american women. Now she has to burn the wedding dress she made. " Kokoro shared. "And she says you reap what you sew and some other stuff that would be offensive and dishonorable to say to my elder, even if it was actually said by another person." she snorted and shook her head. "But good luck on the Pokemon thing though. Maybe next time you guys can try out Yu-gi-Oh and make your own cards."

>>"Right. A friend or a Friend"
Nudge, nudge.
Oh, she did not just nudge him. Shin stared off into the distance, ignoring her as he focused on shifting the shard structures in Porygon's eyes.
Shift, glare, shift. There. Porygon was now glaring for him. He didn't have to waste facial movements reacting to that. Porygon's cheeks grew a bit pinker, too, but that was probably a trick of the light.
As they bounded along, Kokoro texted. How she managed that with the show Porygon was putting on was beyond him.
>>"Jun says you're tearing up her heart and that your taste has declined if you're chasing after american women. Now she has to burn the wedding dress she made. "
Kokoro announced. Shin rolled his eyes at Jun's words of 'wisdom'. The girl was one step short of stalker.
>>"And she says you reap what you sew and some other stuff that would be offensive and dishonorable to say to my elder, even if it was actually said by another person."
"Uh. Your friend is weird, and... Kealey isn't American. She's -Irish-." Shin defended. "So, um. There." This was silly. Why were they having such a silly conversation? At Kokoro's final comment, Porygon lurched upwards.
It was airborne, several meters above the mansion lawn.
"Any place you want to fly over?" They were flying now. End of conversation. No more digging into his personal life for her!
