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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

After the events of the 2020 Harvest Moon and the following Winter Solstice, magic has started manifesting in the MROvere! With the efforts of the Welldrinker Cult, people are being converted into Mystics, a species of people genetically disposed to be great conduits for magical energy.
The Welldrinker Cult
A shadowy group is gaining power, drawing in people who are curious, vulnerable, or malicious, and turning them into Mystics. They are recruiting people into their ranks to spread the influence of magic in the world, but for what end goal?

The lost city of Atlantis has been found! Refugees from this undersea mutant dystopia have started to filter in to New York as citizens and businessfolk. You may make one as a player character of run into one on the street.
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.
I'll post more details later, but here's the basic idea:
An ancient plant shifter decided to live out the rest of his life quietly as a tree, and did, for a hundred years or so. Quietly he communed with the nature around him. Quietly his tree produce tree offspring. These kept him company for many a year until one day men came to their northern woods and chopped down the head tree.
Now that head tree stands in front of the Rockefeller center, starved, alone, and dying. His offspring hear his call and attempt to come to his rescue. All they want is to return their father to his roots and they won't let anything stand in their way.
Unfortunately, when an army of Norwegian spruce trees marches through the city, there are a lot of things that try to get in the way.
--- You're all invited to participate starting on Fri Dec 17th when I'll post the starter post. This will be a posting free-for-all with no set post order, just lots of attacking Christmas Ents and a lot of epic.
If you're interested, feel free to post below so I can get an idea of who wants to be involved!

The last christmas thread was full of epic, while sadder this one also had the promising outlook of epicness. Verdy will probably get involved muddled up in the affair ^_^
Ah, this sounds so fun, and reading the last one was sooo fun Maybe count Lydia in, depending on when this'll start. Wish I could give a more definite answer :\
Wow, Christmas again already? I loved last year's Chtulhumas, and I have a soft spot for ents, so. Count me in! Probably with Sveta, she needs to see some action.
