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.

Character's full name: Donahue Isaiah Walsh Alias/ Nickname/ Code name: Don Gender: Male Age: 17 Date of Birth: 10/09/1999 Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: NYC, NY, USA Nationality: American Ethnicity/ Cultural heritage: Donahue is a mix of Irish, English, and other western European cultures.
Appearance
Hair color and style: Dark brown (almost black) and straight. Donahue leaves his semi-long hair to its' own devices which normally results in his bangs hanging low and either hanging just above his eyes or covering his left. Skin tone: Fair, Caucasian Eye color: A mix of blue and grey. Height: 5'11" Build: Lean without much muscle mass, almost lanky. Visible mutation: When in the use of his power his eyes become a deep red and the pupil dilates. His arms gain muscle mass while a protective layer of black almost leather-like material forms over his arms. His nails also elongate becoming sharper and forming claws. Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: None Other features: None
Everyday clothing style: Plain, he usually just wears a dark hoodie and jeans. Uniform: None Sleepwear: The clothes he wore that day. Miscellaneous clothing: None
Character
Personality: Donahue suffers from depression which can sap all the energy from him leaving him without the will to do anything for that entire day. He has never sought treatment or revealed it to anyone.
Around people who he doesn't know that well or who he has just met Donahue is quiet and shy usually speaking only enough to keep the conversation going. However when around those who he trusts and thinks of as friends he will begin to loosen up and speak normally to them. While he doesn't hate normal humans he is definitely wary of them and doesn't understand why so many hate him without reason.
He is also very protective of those close to him, so much so that it has actually led to him getting into a few fights over the years (most of which he lost). He is easily angered when speaking of bullies and those who pick on others just because they are different.
He has low self-esteem issues as he is almost always doubting himself. Because of this he often has trouble making decisions or thinking for himself.
Hobbies/ Interests: The only notable interest that he has is protecting and caring for his friends as he didn't get to experience much being homeschooled.
Job or part-time job and description: None Fears/ Phobias/ Concerns: Donahue suffers from depression which can sometimes severely affect his mood. He also fears failing his friends and family or disappointing them just because of the way he acts or who he is.
Special talents: Despite not paying attention much in his lessons he is an extremely fast learner and very perceptive.
Morality
Good/ Bad/ Neutral/ Other: Neutral to slightly neutral evil. Most of the time he looks out for what is close to him, but if anyone tries to harm them he will fight against them with all that he has even if they might have good reasons for what they did. He will also do what he has to do to survive.
Mutations
Mutation description: Retractable claws: During times of distress his nails elongate to 4 inches and sharpen at the ends forming a natural weapon that he can use for offensive purposes. These give him a chance to be able to fight back against serious threats.
Dermal and muscular enhancements: He is also able to form a layer of dense hide armor that forms over his arms giving him increased protection from certain attacks. Besides that he gains increased muscle density which increases his power during fights.
Strengths:
His ability allows him to be able to enter combat with some advantages including enhanced strength from the increase in muscle mass. This allows him to be able to pick up to 200 pounds of weight. While his punches wouldn't allow him to be able to take down buildings he can force people back with them and form pretty sizeable bruises. He can also use his arms to protect himself from attacks like punching, kicking, bladed weapons, or even rarely bullets.
Weaknesses and limitations:
He cannot seem to control exactly when his ability activates as it will only activate at certain times like times of anger or grief. While Don hasn't yet experienced this the maximum amount of time that he is able to maintain his ability is 20 minutes. After his ability wears off he will be extremely tired because of the strain it puts on him.
Physical abilities:
General physical capabilities: While he is healthy without his power he is definitely below average on the athletic scale. But with them he becomes much more impressive with enhanced strength, speed, and stamina.
Fighting style: While he has no formal training, his attacks mimic that of a cat with outstretched hands allowing him to be able to use his claws to their full effects.
Fighting style Pros/ Cons: Since his fighting style comes from base instinct there are times when he doesn't know what to do when fighting someone. His attacks seem to get faster the more angry he is while also adding more power at the same time. While being angrier has the effect of making him stronger and faster it also makes him more sloppy and reckless. Using his arms to protect himself from attacks is generally a good idea repeated strikes on the same area wear down on them making them weaker. Ranged fights are a threat because bullets usually break right through his armor and he has no form of ranged attacks.
History of your character:
Donahue Walsh didn't have an easy childhood. At the age of two another child at the daycare his parents had dropped him off at had stolen his favorite toy. Now this wouldn't have been that big a deal if Donahue was a normal child. But he wasn't. He was a mutant, a freak.
His arms began to... change for lack of a better word. Where once their had been pudgy white skin there was now tough black armor and instead of nails he had claws. Thankfully this happened as he was being picked up so the caretaker didn't have a chance to see it as a wide-eyed mother pushed her child out the door.
Later that day the mom with tears in her eyes would begin to tell the father what had happened earlier. The father looked devastated but just nodded before walking into their room. A loud bang was heard before silence and young Donahue began crying. His father had just shot himself. Just because his son was a freak.
After that when he was old enough to begin schooling his mom decided to home school him so that an accident like that never happened again. She also began to have to work several part-time jobs to be able to pay the rent on the apartment.
At the age of 14 he made his first friend. She had just moved into the apartment that he and his mom were living in and he saw her across the lobby. Being homeschooled he didn't get the chance to meet that many people the same age as him. So when she waved at him he didn't know what to do and he just stood there staring. She laughed at him and he just smiled dumbly at her.
"Hey, my name's Sam, what's yours?" she asked him. "Donahue". She wrinkled her nose at him, "How 'bout just Don, okay?". "Umm..sure I guess". She then pointed outside of a window to a park. "We'll meet there, okay". Without waiting for a response she turned towards the stairs, "Tomorrow at 3" and began to walk up them.
He is now 17 as he was walking to the park to meet Sam again. Just as he entered the park he heard a scream. 'Sam!' he thought as he began to sprint to their usual meeting spot. As he got there he saw someone with a knife pointing it at Sam. "J...Just give me your money a..and no one gets hurt". Donahue began to get enraged and he changed again. Hearing a noise the would-be thief turned around only to se a fist slam out and grab him slamming him against a wall. As the thief stared into those blood-red eyes his only thought was 'this must be a demon' before his life was ended with a quick twist of "the demon's" wrist. And then Donahue's world went black.
When he woke up he was back at his apartment he looked around and saw Sam and his mother were sitting around him. Relief and sadness flooded into his mother's eyes as she saw him get up. "Don you...you need to leave". "What..but I...". "No", Sam interrupted him "you killed someone. The police are going to start looking for who did it". She then left the apartment. "But, I did it for you". Donahue whispered after her. He then nodded "Fine, I'll go... I'll leave". He then left never looking back.
Roleplay
What's your OOC alias? Cameron Where did you learn about this site? Googled for X-Men rpg Do you have any characters on MRO, if so who? None Sample RP:
Donahue looked at the small convenience store 'God, I really hope it doesn't have any cameras inside, I'm starving' as if to emphasise his thought his stomach chose that time to growl. Before heading inside he flipped his hood up to try to hide his face in case something goes wrong.
He went inside and headed straight for the food section ignoring the owner and looking down at his feet. The owner shrugged thinking it was just some angsty teen. Don looked around and didn't see any cameras 'perfect' he thought. He stuffed various foods inside the pocket in his hoodie then went up to the counter. Not wanting to look suspicious he decided to buy one with some money he had "found".
As he was lying on the mattress that he slept on that night he started thinking about his home. Tears started to well in his eyes as he closed them in pain "Sam, mom" he sobbed "I'm so sorry... for everything". He had read on the newspaper that they still had no idea it was him. With these thoughts he allowed himself to be pulled to sleep.
Don looked around, disoriented at first. But he finally realized where he was after he looked around. He was at the park. It was a dream. Or maybe a nightmare all things considered. It was the day that Sam was almost robbed, the day everything went wrong. Time flashed forward to when the robber was slammed against the wall. That wasn't Donahue in his body it was something more savage, more primal, it was something out for blood. Don remembered back to this moment he felt like he wasn't in control. It was like he was banging his fists inside trying to get out, trying to get back in control. But he couldn't, and that terrified him.
