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.

Individual
Character's full name: Michael Chase Alias/ Nickname/ Code name: Shield Gender: Male Age: 20 Birthday: 23/4/1990 Nationality/ Ethnicity: Caucasian Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: California
Appearance
Hair color and style: Brown and short Eyes: Brown Height: 5’11” Build: Athletic Visible mutation: None Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: None Other features: Not a bad looking fellow but not Johnny Depp good-looking.
Everyday clothing style: Jeans, a tee-shirt and unbuttoned shirt over the top. Seansible boots. Uniform: Black leather bodysuit (similar to the X-men films) with a silver shield on the chest. Sleepwear: Boxers. Miscellaneous clothing: Travelling clothes for various environments.
Character
Personality: Michael is a happy and good natured individual. He has a big brother complex that is always causing him to look out for others. While once he was a very trusting person his experience at the camps has hardened him and he’s not as willing to simply hand his trust to anyone. Because of this Michael is very loyal to those he trusts and will stand by them no matter what. However breaches of that trust stay with him for a long time.
Michael is almost always cool, calm and collected. It takes a lot to fluster him and he’s someone others can turn to in a crisis. The fact that he was being considered as an X-men field leader before he went on his travels is a testament to this. He is a competent leader who can take charge without aggressively asserting himself.
Hobbies/ Interests: Michael is a fan of any and all outdoor pursuits. Job or part time job and description: None Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Michael worries about letting people down. He also worries about getting ill as some medical treatment can’t be used on him. Special talents: Michael has picked up medical skills on his travels and despite not having received any formal training he’s not a bad field medic. He’s contemplating whether to augment this with some proper training.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Michael is a good person, always willing to help others and work for a common good.
Mutations
Mutation description: Invulnerable to kinetic energy. Strengths: Most conventional forms of harm, e.g. knives, guns, do nothing to Michael other than damage his clothes and knock him back. Weaknesses: Other forms of energy still hurt, so fire still burns, as does electricity, and his is affected by extreme heat or cold. Also his invulnerability to kinetic energy is always on. This means that he can’t receive injections, be operated on or any other medical procedure that would need to cause kinetic damage to his body. As such Michael has never had any vaccinations.
Fighting Style
Explanation: Michael has been learning bits and pieces of fighting styles here and there so his style is a rough approximation of MMA, mixed martial arts. Pros for fighting style: Michael knows enough styles to probably use ones an opponent is unfamiliar with. Cons for fighting style: However he doesn’t know any of the styles to a particularly high level, and so is often outclassed by others in that style.
Faction Allegiance Use to be an X-man and is looking to be so again. Currently unaffiliated.
History Of Your Character Michael’s invulnerability was apparent from birth, as when his parents tried to have him vaccinated the needle couldn’t pierce his skin. They kept it hidden from everyone, including Michael. As he grew up his parents were less cautious than other parents as they knew that not only could he not be harmed, but they saw that he felt no pain. As a toddler he would often fall and bang his head, only to get up smiling as if nothing had happened.
As he became old enough to understand his powers his parents told him he must not tell people, for fear of the persecution it would bring, and so he didn’t. However, when he fell in the playground and wasn’t hurt people became suspicious.
It was at the age of nine that his powers became publicly revealed to his friends and family. Michael ran out into the street without looking and was hit by a car that was well over the speed limit. He was sent flying over forty feet into a tree only to get up without a scratch. Fearing for their son his parents moved and made it very clear to Michael that he was to be more careful.
So from then on he did his best to avoid incidents where a normal person would get hurt. However, part of him enjoyed his invulnerability, and he would try and help people while hiding his identity behind a white mask. He stopped a few muggings and even made the local news before his parents confronted him and made him promise to stop. His parents had heard of the Xavier Institute and thought it best to send him there to save him from persecution.
After the camps Michael needed some time away from it all to clear his head. And so he set off to travel the world doing volunteer work. With time he came to realise that he wanted to stop what had happened in those camps from happening again. While his volunteer work was satisfying he knew somewhere he could do more. And so Michael headed back to New York to rejoin the X-men.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Playing as Hunter Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Hunter Antonescu Sample RP: See the various threads of mine.
Hunter, this guy won't be too hard to take down. We just have to bypass the fact that he can't be physically hurt. But mentally, Emotionally, and Energy-wise....Muahahahahahaha!
That's provinding that you have those. Someone like Abyss or Xiin would struggle to beat him, where as Tricity or Raven Fire could do some serious damage.
