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.

I can't get enough of the AltVerse, so I'm just going to advertise my lil monster here. AltVerse!Alex isn't too radically different power or look-wise, but his personality and history is far removed from MRO's version. Check the link for more details, but in short he's more feral, violent, and unstable because of his time spent as a lab rat for SUPER. He escaped but ended up in the hands of Poseidon, basically owing the man everything and would do anything for him, has been for the last year. This includes assassinations, threats, body clean up, gang "clean up", and more.
He's generally friendly with other Ragnarok members, and possibly Haven members if they're friendly with Ragnarok. Though if it's someone he doesn't know right away, he'll be stand-offish at first.
So without further ado, here's some Plot Ideas
You're character is being a pest for Ragnarok. Either Alex is sent to threaten, maim, or ultimately kill you and/or your loved ones. Obviously, he fails if you want your character to live.
You're character is part of Ragnarok, new perhaps, and you meet Alex possibly for a job, or possibly because he's in a "mood" and Poseidon needs someone to keep an eye on him or to keep him from getting in trouble.
You're character is part of Haven, perhaps you're meeting Poseidon, perhaps you're a target. That we'll have to see and work out between the factions two leaders.
You're character is a S.U.P.E.R agent and you've heard a long lost mutant asset has been spotted in the area, time to recapture the little monster before it causes more damage.
You're character is an X-Men and you've either stopped Alex from killing a target or arrived a little too late to save the poor soul
You're character is a patron at the Atlantis Club, you see someone watching from the second floor. Perhaps a little investigation is in order?
I'd like to through AV Shard into the mix. She lives on the streets,is a visible mutant and creates animated crystal pets. She has reason to dislike SUPER and doesn't know much about Ragnarok but their philosophies would appeal to her. Chaos isn't necessarily something she cultivates, but it tends to follow her around as she has little respect for the law or societal convention and is innately selfish. Is possible Ragnarok recruitment a possibility? Or something that might lead into a potential recruitment thread? Otherwise I'm open to suggestions.
FemmeRanger isn't a member of one of the factions, but is a member of the Emergency Support Unit in NYPD. They're the unit that includes special response teams and SWAT. She would be one of the people called in when things get too dicey for you're average patrol officer. She could easily respond to a call.

Agent of S.U.P.E.R, reporting for threading! I'd love to have Trace get in on some kind of action in the thread here. Seems like he'd line up well with some of the other parties involved. Could be part of the fore-mentioned recovery team?

Noel: Yes, I can see it being pretty interesting Nolan going from place to place picking up little memory clues. Though Alex would be a hard nut to crack memory manipulation-wise, given how fractured his brain is already, nearly bordering on dissociative identity disorder. I wonder if any other SUPER member would like to join in the hunt. Edit: Oh look, Trace is volunteering.
Darkshift: Shard definitely has recruitment potential, but whether she gets in isn't really up to Alex. He can only point her in the right direction and put in a good word for her. Perhaps she runs into him after or during a mission and he either catches her watching or she helps him, which might freak him out at first.
Ranger: I can see that, Alex is doing his duty, perhaps maiming/killing someone and someone calls it in, "hooded man in a mask" n' all. Alex doesn't carry a weapon, but his powers are usually enough to stop people. Hope Ranger doesn't mind puking snakes and/or rats!
Plotting with Jorge on another thread so, a word suggestion to go in the right direction and speak to him in Atlantis club is pretty much all that's needed. Running into him on a mission and assisting seems like a good way to facilitate that happening.
Ranger: I can see that, Alex is doing his duty, perhaps maiming/killing someone and someone calls it in, "hooded man in a mask" n' all. Alex doesn't carry a weapon, but his powers are usually enough to stop people. Hope Ranger doesn't mind puking snakes and/or rats!

Alright, sounds like we've got two threads!
Darkshift's Shard with a recruitment thread; helping him dispatch some unwanted thugs in Poseidon's territory. Would you like to start or should I?
Noel's Nolan, Trace Tanner, and The Ranger can all go mutant hunting! Perhaps Femme!Ranger is the first on the scene or the first contact, our inciting incident as it were, and that's when S.U.P.E.R gets called in? Or would you guys like to do separate threads?
Running a thread with all 4 of us is fine with me. I'm currently in a thread with Trace so FemmeRanger and him have a little bit of history (being written).
I'm worried that a 4 man thread might be reeeeeal slow and I haven't yet established Nolan. Would it be possible to join the thread late? I'm not sure a big group thread is the best way to launch a "new" character

I'm cool with doing a group thread. Since there is history between Femme!Ranger and Trace and she just found out Trace is in SUPER, that gives us a good opportunity for a Trace in road. She might call him in if she finds out there's a threat or sees someone that's on the veritable SUPER most wanted list (with Alex being someone who has escaped SUPER). Who doesn't love a little inter-agency cooperation, right?
