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.

The gist, so far, is that there is a group of children lead by a hobo with an addictive love mutation running around the city. They have been busy recruiting and telling fortunes. Their goal is to train up an army to be prepared to save the world from impending disaster (in the shape of a unicorn). And of course, earn enough money to keep all the mouths fed.
Meanwhile, a horribly evil person has been plotting to turn a certain unicorn's life upside down. She sends her puppet spies, kidnappers, memory-mancers, and vandals to make a mess out of things for Sebastian and his family. No matter how evil anyone else in this plot may appear, remember who to point the finger at when things go horribly, horribly wrong.
Memories somewhat holier than before (especially in the parts of his life that were the rosiest), Sebastian finds little purpose in life. Until, that is, he decides to issue a challenge to the gods by starting a church of his very own, one that promises eternal life in exchange for loyal service to him. Oh, and also for feeding the hungry and donating pies to the bake sale.
How can you get involved?
Future Sight: Eros' army is looking for more recruits (of any age) to help stop the apocalypse.
Future Sight: The Oracle Shop is open for business. Stop on by to see a glimpse of your future.
Future Sight really needs an interior decorator.
Other: Anyone who has secrets to be ratted out? Volunteer to be blackmailed!
Investigate/Spy: Speaking of blackmail, shouldn't someone be looking into the streak of blackmail attempts that seems to be spreading across the city?
Investigate/Spy: Missing persons need to be found. Some are orphans, but some have parents that are starting to worry.
Investigate/Spy: Think you can solve these problems better than the police? Become a spy! Be careful though, you may end up sympathizing with the people you spy on.
Investigate/Spy: Is someone you care about missing? Go rescue them!
Order: Help your faction keeps tabs on that evil unicorn.
Order: Prison guards needed.
Baddies: Dress up as a unicorn, commit crimes in Sebastian's name. It's the hottest trend in the baddie world since stealing candy from babies and wearing striped pajamas.
Church of Everlasting Life: Join Sebby's church, work your way up the ranks, become immortal1!
Church of Everlasting Life: Oppose that evil church full of satan worshipers!
Church of Everlasting Life: Bake a pie, donate it to the church bake sale. All proceeds go to feed the hungry and stopping gang violence in NYC.
Do you have other ideas? Feel free to brainstorm! This plot is open to molding. What happens next is all in your hands.
