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.

If you approach her first, she’ll make the effort to talk to you.

She doesn’t like getting close to people, friends or enemies.
Mutations
Mutation description:
Pyrokenisis: In an uncontrollable state (mainly anger and fear) burst of flames will emanate from Yuri’s core, without her being able to control it. Her whole body catches alight though the flames are weak at the time being. In an uncontrollable state, which can be triggered by intense emotions (such as extreme anger, extreme sadness, or intense fear.), bursts of flame emanate from Yuri's core without her being able to control them. In a more stable condition she is able to channel some of the fire from her ‘core’ through the palms of her hands rather than her whole being in an uncontrollable state. In both states it burns quicker and things catch on fire quicker, giving off intense heat, more than a campfire.
Strengths:
Uncontrollable state: Intense fear and extreme anger can leave a person badly injured though not powerful enough to actually kill or cause destruction (unless something easily flammable was nearby) her jewelry and clothes are surprisingly unaffected. The exact damage to a person would at least leave them in a hospital. The ranges of the bursts however, range between 1-2 meters. She is not affected by the flames themselves.
Controllable state: Her focus and her reason for using her power. Same thing, though won’t badly injure. Since it’s more controlled she will be able to aim and will hopefully avoid hitting easily flammable objects. This only causes light burns. The range in which she is able to throw fire would be 4-5 meters.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
In her uncontrollable state it can leave her with little energy sometimes leaving her barely able to move. Once she has calmed down. A bucket of water could possibly help too. Snow and rain will immensely weaken the power in this state. If it’s foggy the area will only be lit up by the flames, nothing will actually be burnt. The bursts would last around an hour or two. With the strains it puts on her body as said above, it will leave her unable to move. She would take as long as a normal person to recover her energy. Due to the excess amount of fire she uses, it needs to be built back up. It takes about a day for it to rebuild, and if she gets angry beforehand it will only last about ten minutes.
In her controlled state water would be her main weakness. The effect it has on her, whilst not as bad as in her uncontrolled state, would still leave her weak. She may only have enough energy to run to safety, unlike in her uncontrollable state, where she could be barely able to move. It’s completely nullified during rain and snow, and during fog, the power is weakened, only allowing her to light up a 30 centimeter radius around her. The range for throwing the fire however, ranges between 3 and 5 meters. She only needs to recharge this power, and due to channeling a certain amount for each fireball, she will regenerate the fire in 2-4 hours. As for energy she’ll also take as long as a normal human to regenerate.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: She has good stamina and strength.
Fighting Style: Street fighting to say the least. She learnt to defend herself at school. (See history)
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: N/A
History Of Your Character
Yuri grew up without a father, she only had an older brother and a mother with her. She was born in Townsville, a city in north Queensland, north Australia. She has enjoyed music ever since she was little, particularly the violin. She learnt to defend herself in the school grounds, because she got picked on a lot, and people tended to love picking fights with her. When she was eight, they had moved to New York City for her mother’s work reasons, and because of the fights she kept getting into at school. When she was younger she was a naturally open girl, until she experienced her mothers’ and brothers’ death. She would have been about ten when she experienced the deaths. The guy who killed them had said something about her father owing him money or something, and if they didn’t pay up they’d die, why her father owed the killer money was a mystery to the whole family. They didn’t have the money and weren’t able to pay up so they were killed. She was about to be killed to, but her anger from watching her only family die caused a random uncontrollable burst of fire. The man had managed to run off and escape the flames. She also left herself unable to move for a day or so.
She deemed herself untrustworthy and dangerous and so hid herself out on the streets. The only thing she kept worth anything to her was a silver heart shaped locket her mother had given her when she turned ten. She cut a photo of her mother out and placed it in one side of the locket and a photo of her older brother on the other side. She sold off what she could and kept the money hidden into a sewn in secret pocket of her hooded jacket. She took to wearing the hooded jacket with the hood up after she found a little hidey hole somewhere along the streets. She found her little hidey hole while wandering the streets looking for somewhere to stay, rather than just bunking on the side of the road. After a few days, she came to an abandoned warehouse down an alley. With the money she had earned she bought basic survival supplies, food, water, a little table and chair, a small bed and a few other things such as a violin, a few reading books and a small book shelf to hold her reading books. The money had only lasted long enough for her to buy the basics, so she took to stealing where she could.
She keeps the hood up to hide her face. Sometimes the hood might slip back revealing her dark black eyes but most of the time the hood stays up and forward and her head stays down. She keeps everything about her hidden, and therefore tries not to get angry or use her power. When she was twelve, someone had tried to attack her, but her reflexes had saved her and she managed to disarm the attacker she dealt some damage to him by kicking him and punching him a few times, but even disarmed and injured he had tried to kill Yuri, and Yuri got angry releasing her fire bursts once again allowing someone dangerous to her escape. She avoided contact with people altogether after that point on.
Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?: Well, I was on one of my other RPs that I’m on and clicked a random affiliate and ended up here.
Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who:
Sample RP:
It was dark, and it was cold, perfect for Yuri. She blended in nice and easily into the background, being able to make her way through the streets of New York City. She liked nights like this, it was easy for her to see the goings on of the city without having to interact with anyone, only problem was that the dogs would sense her. Yuri hurried along a street full of dogs sticking to the shadows where she could. She was on her way home, a little hidey hole that is somewhere she doesn’t know the name of, but still somehow knows her way around.
A dog at the end of the street began barking wildly she walked over to it and knelt down in front of it, it started growling. She lifted her hood and her dark terrifying gaze was enough to shut it up. “Keep barking and growling and I’ll do more than just spook you.” She said in her little quiet mysterious whisper. Getting up and sinking back into the shadows as the owner had just opened the door to see what the dog was barking at. Seeing nothing the owner shrugged and headed back inside the warm house.
Yuri turned the corner at the end of the street and saw some kids fighting each other. She tried to sneak past, but seeing as this road had a few shops, there were more street lights along it. So it was harder to stick to the shadows, and the two teens spotted her. They walked over to her and the older of the two, who had mouse brown hair and a mouse-like featured face, went to punch her. Yuri ducked her hood flying off and stood facing the two teens with a complete impassive neutral look on her face. “Do you think it’s really worth it?” Yuri said in that disturbing whisper of hers. The teens were a little thrown off by her appearance. When they spotted her, they just thought she was some lost kid, but a closer look told them she was a teen with dark eyes and dark hair, and a whisper that was always full of warning and a ‘don’t mess with me’ kind of tone to it.
The teens seemed to have recovered but by that time it had been too late. She had roundhouse kicked them both sending them to their knees, and then she kneed them in the chest leaving them winded and somewhat injured. She replaced her hood and continued on her way. She finally got to her little hidey hole in a side alley and walked over to her violin. Her little hidey hole in the alley was in an abandoned warehouse or shed or something. In the middle of the room she had a small round wooden table with a small chair at its edge, a small, basic wooden frame bed with a warm but thing blanket in the top right hand corner.
A small cupboard where she placed food she didn’t have to cook, a small fridge plugged into the only PowerPoint in the abandoned shed which held her water supply, that was in the top left next to the cupboard. It was a little cramped and crowded but there was still enough space for a small person like her to move around in. She picked up the violin and placed it to her chin and began to play a slow and steady melody that seemed to drift through neighbouring neighborhoods. Funny thing is though, no one could ever find the source of the music.
She stopped after a while and lie in her bed thinking about her family’s death and why they were murdered and how she came to be able to use fire. She came to the conclusion that her family was killed because they had some sort of mutant power and it had passed on to herself. She took out her locket and stared at the picture of her mother. “Is this my fate? My destiny? What will happen in my life from this point forward? I wish you and big bro were still here.”
