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.

Strengths: Rose manipulation: Nick has two blue roses tangled around arms. He can use these for offensive or defensive based situations, such as using them to punch someone or to block an attack These roses grow out from his shoulderblades and act as extra limbs. Their stems are thicker than that of normal roses. If they are cut off, it hurts like losing a finger and to regrow them Nick needs to sunbathe and drink a lot of water. Nick can also grow blue roses from the ground that he can control.
Brambles: Nick can grow brambles at a moment’s notice. He can use the brambles for anything from trapping someone to making a staircase to get up to a kitten stuck in a tree.

History Of Your Character Nick’s story begins in Bigfork, MT. His childhood was wonderful and filled with great memories. He’d play a lot in the forest and help his great grandma with her gardening and swim in Echo Lake. He was brought up with his mother teaching him Portugese and his father teaching him Norwegian. They both thought that knowing other languages was important.
The day after he turned fifteen he and his parents were gonna go to Glacier park to go hiking on a bear trail. While driving to the bear trail, an earthquake suddenly hit. They were still driving at an incline when the earthquake hit. “Get down Nick” was the last word he heard his father say before a boulder crushed the front of the car and both his parents. It seemed that the earthquake had set off a landslide.
At that exact moment, Nick’s mutation instantly came to life. First his back started to hurt, so he ripped off his shirt. Two blue roses sprouted from his back. Nick opened the door next to him and hurried out. As he looked up the hill next to the car, he saw a boulder headed straight for him. In terror he tried guarding his face with his arms. But the boulder never hit. Instead, a wall of brambles had entangled the boulder inches from his face.
The forest rangers came within half an hour had passed. They found Nick crying next to his parent’s car. However, when the rangers saw the roses on his back, they got scared. For all they knew he could have been the one that destroyed the car. Instead of asking any questions, the rangers fired a tranquilizer dart at him.
The next thing he knew, he woke up in the back of an animal transporting vagon. He was being transported to the nearest mutant camp to be registered. He was kept here until he turned 19, at which point he had learned control over his power. Since he had nowhere else to go, he thought he’d head for New York. Both to get away, and to hopefully find somewhere he belonged.
Roleplay What’s your OOC alias?: Stigurd Where did you learn about this site?: Google~ Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: No Sample RP: After having been in the camp for a year, Nick felt like he was done. People were always picking on him and beating him up. As long as the guards didn’t care, there was nothing he could do. Today however, everything would change.”The day is finally here to get my revenge” he said to himself as he got up. He had already prepared his revenge against Cam, the camp’s self declared “Emperor”. Nick was gonna show Cam that he couldn’t pick on others anymore. As he walked outside of his tent, he could see the blue sky showing promise of a nice day. Finally ready to get his revenge, he started walking towards the campfire, which was where Cam usually was. As he got closer he started smelling cooked meat. He could also feel Cam’s mutation starting to affect him. The area of disgust that he emitted was strong and nearly unbearable.
Nick knew that if he got too close he would wind up vomiting. In other words he had to get Cam from afar. Something that was hard considering the tents that were everywhere. The feeling of disgust increased as he got closer to the campfire. Nick decided to hide behind a nearby tent whilst he looked at what he was up against. He looked over at the campfire, but to his surprise none of Cam’s goons were there. Nick also noticed that the honey locust tree by the campfire had grown quite a lot. The autumn season was truly the best time to look at a honey locust. The leaves had started turning yellow and the thorns had hardened, perfect for his plan.
“Hey cam, where are your minions?” Nick said as he stepped out from behind the tent. By the look on Cam’s face, it was clear that he didn’t expect to be disturbed. As the big man turned around, Nick could see that he was interrupting Cam’s lunch. “What do you want, rosey boy?” Cam asked and took a step towards Nick. The feeling of disgust increased when Cam stepped closer to Nick. “I’m here to prove that you can't terrorize anyone you want Cam” Nick answered and started focusing his power on the honey locust tree. “Well who’s gonna stop m” was all Cam was able to say before Nick’s grasp on the honey locust kicked in. “Look behind you” Nick said as he made one of the branches on the honey locust grab Cam and hold him upside down. Nick’s head started to hurt, so he released the grasp on the branch, causing it to harden in it’s current position.
“Let me down you idiot” Cam said while trying to reach the branch he was hanging from. “Not until you promise to stop terrorizing innocent people” Nick answered him. “Now why would i want to do that?” Cam asked while still reaching for the branch. The headache that Nick had gotten so suddenly mixed with Cam’s disgust aura caused Nick to vomit. When he was done he leaned himself towards a nearby tent and answered. “This is why i want you to stop, you cause people pain both with and without intention. Therefore, I think you should move to the edge of camp so nobody gets sick from your aura anymore”. Cam started smiling. “Well there’s no need for that is there?” he said as a blunt pain hit Nick’s head from behind and he fell to the ground
