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.

Some potential holiday fun, for all those not in Romania:
Christmas at the mansion looks like it's going to be pretty quiet, with all the X-men away in Romania indefinitely. Or is it?
The X-kids and all the other students are still home, dutifully studying and training (or slacking off, because, hey, it is winter break now), but really not much exciting has been happening. Until now.
When a distress call comes, the only ones around to answer it are the kids, but hey, it's a kid on the phone, too, so everything should be peachy, right? Right.
“There was an accident. Jimmy and I were playing. I'm a sculpture animator and he's an enlarger, see? And now there is a big clay sculpture in Central Park breaking things. Could you help? Before our parents find out what we did?”
Will they run for the nearest grown-up and ask for help? Of course not. (Unless you count Calley, who is sort of grown up now, right?) Will they dare risking life, limb, and their mortal souls to help save the city from a menace both large and tentacle-y? Of course they will! Do they have any idea what they are getting themselves into? Hells no.
They arrive at Central Park to discover that there is indeed a giant clay sculpture wreaking havoc. A sculpture of Cthulhu. A giant tentacle-y sculpture of Cthulhu.
This thread will be open to anyone not in Romania, brawl style thread with no turn order and no limit on the number of people who can join. The mansion kids will get the distress call, but a giant Cthulhu in Central Park is bound to draw all kinds of attention. I was thinking of starting the thread Dec. 1, so we might actually finish it before Valentine's Day. Questions, comments, further ideas? Give a shout out if you want to participate!
I hope you don't mind terribly, but this is something I could sink my pointed little teeth into. I'm a little old to be an X-kid, but I don't mind taking second seat to a bunch of rugrats.
