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.

"Hmm... wonder what Sam wanted to see me about..." Shin pondered as he slipped down darkened halls towards the ice mutant's office. Possibilities battled it out in his head like Rock-em-Sock-em Robots, or hippos in that one game where the hippos fought to see who could eat the most plastic balls... the balls were possibilities, you see. And they were quickly running out. If only he had a Clue to aid him in this Trivial Pursuit of an answer, some vague hint to aid his Boggle'd mind. Oh well. It was useless playing Solitaire sans a full deck. He hoped he hadn't gotten into Trouble, and that this meeting weren't some overdone Mouse Trap... eh. He'd just have to take the Risk.
"Sorry? You wanted to see me, Sam?" Shin popped his head into Sam's office, tapping his fist casually against the side of the door. Searching the man's face for possibilities, Shin's mind Scrabbled for further things to say. "What's up?"

Putting his paper work aside Sam looked to Shin and smiled, “Hey Shin, why don’t you have a seat, got some things I would like to talk to you about.” He smiled and set aside the newest resident paper work that he happened to forget the name, he couldn’t just Guess Who he was but he figured he would have more time later to ask the person. To think he had been working here for so long and he forgot the most basic rules of the game, it was Balderdash.
Waiting till Shin was seated Sam smiled at him and said, “Well as you may know with Neena on vacation, and Tricity being super busy, Streak, Raina and I sort of have this Monopoly on greeting new residents and helping them get settled in.” he paused for a dramatic effect then continued, “More and more residents have been coming to the mansion and well with the Sequence of previous events they forced Streak to work on security, so I was wondering if you would like a job as a greeter.”
Grinning to Shin and pulling some forms from his desk and setting them in front of Shin, Sam said, “Well, it isn’t to hard you can Take It Easy for the first couple of weeks if your interested.” Sam waited to here a response from Shin as he continued to smile.

Nodding, Shin pulled up a chair and sat down. It only took Sam 30 Seconds to get to the crux of the matter. With the headmaster and head teacher busy or on vacation, three people were left buried under a Landslide of new students, left with little to help them Figure It Out. In the Twister of information, new things kept piling up. Now they were looking at a pile of jobs they'd have to do, and this Jenga tower swayed back and forth, ready to Topple. Shin nodded as Sam finished.
"You need help greeting people, and you're offering me a job? Okay. I'll give it a Go. What exactly does the job entail? Just greeting people and helping them fill out the paper work, and getting them settled into the mansion? Showing new students around? The usual?"
He wondered what kind of pay this gave out... either way, it seemed pretty cool. It was really a load off his mind. Shin had thought the worst and been rewarded with the best. His Mojo was really working today, that's for sure.

Tricity was indeed the mastermind behind the mansion and Sam figured it wouldn’t be too much trouble to offer a job to Shin. It was either Sink or Swim and with Shin on the team there was that much of a better chance to swim rather than sink.
Grinning to Shin’s question Sam nodded and said, “Yep a job, basically everything you have been doing with me only you’ll get paid for it, after you get the paper work with the students done just put it in the “In” basket and me and Streak will take care of it.” Pausing Sam had to think about the pay, “Well that’s all up to the boss, I’ll ask her about it next time I see here.”
Standing up and extending his hand to Shin he smiled and said, “Welcome to the Team buddy.”

"Thanks," Shin replied, shaking the hand. "I'll do my best." There wasn't much else to say. It didn't sound like a particularly difficult job. He was sure it would be rewarding. Looking around the office, he took in all its many facets, from the in box to the out box, from the trophies, to the computer. Everything, and nothing. Finally snapping his head head to Sam, he smiled.
"If that's it, then I'll talk to you later." He got up and walked to the door, stopping to add something with a laugh at the last moment. "Guess I'll go start working now."
With that, he walked out the door. It was strange having a new title to add to his list. First, Martial Arts 'Master', a title held more out of self deprecation than mastery, then boxing champion (same deal there). Now, it was this. It didn't change much, but at the same time it changed everything.
Walking out the mansion gates on his way to the dojo, he thought to himself "Gee, there's a Strange Synergy to The Game of Life." And with that, he stepped up to the bus stop. He had a Ticket to Ride, and darn it. He was going to Take Off!
