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.

"A will-o'-the-wisp /ˌwɪl ə ðə ˈwɪsp/ or ignis fatuus (pron.: /ˌɪɡnɨs ˈfætʃuːəs/; Medieval Latin: "foolish fire") is a ghostly light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travellers from the safe paths." -- Wikipedia

"Her place was small, as were most New York Apartments. The one room living space was 'covy' in the nicest terms for it. When you first walked in, the bathroom was to the right, as well as a stacked washer and dryer combo in the closet. On the other side of the room was the bed, a small full sized piece of furniture with a plain black comforter. The dresser took up a portion of the left wall, a window the rest of it, and outside you could see the fire escapes silver railing glittering in the sunset. The couch on the right wall was separated from the bed with a coffee table and an end table, but non of the furniture seemed to have any personality. The walls were plain white, almost grey, and the trim was a odd blue/green color that was mostly worn out by now.
In the kitchen, a leather jacket rested on the back of a chair, and a few cooking items still sat on the counter and had never got put away after Ty made breakfast awhile back. There were no pictures, no television, only a few books on the dresser, and a small tiger perched on the pillow of her bed. " ---- From Frozen Spaces

Favorite Roleplay Quotes:
From Bullet for My Valentine
They said you got shot by cupid. No one warned you it was going to be a gun not an arrow.
From Stripes in Black, White, and Red:
It was a strange question to come from her; saying it tasted a bit stereotypical in her mouth... Although, she wasn't sure what stereotypical tasted like. Something bitter and unpleasant like orange juice and toothpaste...
It was an odd thing to have to worry about; Oh I can't let my boyfriend touch that. I don't know where it's been. But he would. She secretly wondered if that would ever make him germ-aphobic. Could you imagine the life story of a dollar bill?
From Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend:
Quickly putting on her boots, and grabbing the rest of her clothing, she glance in the mirror. She looked like someone threw a prison inmate into a dress and declared they were taking her to prom. She was by no means ready to go in public like this.
She was like a shaved poodle: impossible to recognize, but still noticeable enough to laugh at.
From Shopping and Sightseeing:
Sometimes she felt like she was a tiger in a room of rocking chairs. Eventually there was going to be some mauling and screaming in terror; but for a while, she could just pretend to be a house cat and purr and allow people to think she was docile and approachable.
From Frozen Spaces:
She was glad there was no one around eavesdropping on this conversation. Two mutants plotting murder in a midnight black impala. That wasn't odd at all.
From Disturbing the Peace:
It was like handing a roman candle to a 3 year old then telling them not to point it at anyone.
They were so going to point it at someone.
From Christmas Savings:
As Sarah explained the camping concept, Tses listed quietly, and tried to piece together an image in her head of what it would be like. Her brain couldn't quite formulate the image correctly. She had some rather tree-like sky scrapers, central park with a few trucks parked on the grass, some fish flopping around in the grass (was it in a pond, was it in a bowl? Where did they get these fish anyway?) Then she had a fire sitting in the middle of it all. She couldn't figure out how they kept the fire in one place, because fires seemed to just burn wherever they wanted. Maybe it was in the middle of some rocks or something. Her mind added some rocks around the fire, then a bag of marshmallows.
Next, she tried to picture roasting marshmallows over a fire, but then the mental image of herself kept burning their hands in the flames, trying to hold the squishy marshmallow out over the fire. She imaged marshmallow out on a stick, but then the stick would catch on fire, and that wouldn't work either. Everything she thought of to try to cook the marshmallow resulted in out of control flames and possible third degree burns. In the end, the mental her threw the stick and marshmallow into the fire and sulked next to the skyscraper trees.
"Camping sounds complicated." She finally remarked, and frowned thoughtfully.
