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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
"Phase two will take place right after the cops are exonerated. A video will be released from the cop’s dash cams, along with audio, and they will leave it at that, believing it will sate the masses. It will not; organized, but peaceful protests will begin to pop up across the country. Counter protests will also pop up; human’s who are not fond of mutants (or the incredible crime rates in the Order territories) will also be heard.
It is during this phase that the X-men will be called in to assist the NYPD in keeping the protests peaceful. Neutral characters, Order members, mansion students, even off duty x-men and NYPD characters can participate in the protests. The tension from phase one will only go up; certain parts of town will be unsafe for mutants, certain parts unsafe for humans.
The NYPD, MRC, and X-men will be working very closely together from this part of the plot onward; they will stand as a united front, human and mutant, in order to try and ease the tension.
The Order, on the other hand, might have other plans.
The protests will run for some time before one of them turns violent, leading to… Well, we can talk about that later."
Post here with any thread links, and non-faction related plot ideas!
So! A lot of people in cbox have heard this already, but here's the summary:
Allison and Amber are planning to hang out at the mall, and end up spotting a group of (peaceful) anti-mutant protesters nearby. This leads to blowing bubbles at the protesters, as a kind of silly counter-protest. Other people will then join, either with bubbles or anything else fun/silly that they can come up with. (No causing drama that other characters can't avoid, please, this is supposed to be a fun one.) It's an open thread, so we don't know exactly what will happen, and anyone can join.
The spontaneous silly protest will go well, and a second, (ICly) organized one will be planned, to take place sometime later, probably a week or two but it can be adjusted as long as phase 2 lasts. The second thread will be open as well, and (probably, if cbox plotting works out) include such things as ice decorations and sculptures by CS and cookies from Drew, among others.
