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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
Did you step away from MRO for a moment, blink, or otherwise miss a few of your character’s years? We’ve got just the trick…
The de-aging plot is here!
HOW
SUPER has been working on an experimental chemical serum. (Geneva who?) The goal was to de-power mutants, but the experiment was deemed a failure when the effects seemed to de-age mutants without eliminating the X-Gene and its accompanying powers. The project would have been destroyed, had one of the mutants involved with the project not escaped with multiple syringes and aerosol devices filled with the special serum. Now, she has a goal: Give mutants and those close enough to mutants to breathe it in the gift of newfound youth.
NO BUT LITERALLY HOW
Either through aerial diffusion (think smoke grenade) or injection (a shot in the arm).
WHO CAN DE-AGE? Anyone. This is a chemical de-hancement so human, adapteds, and mutants are all welcome to fountain of youth it up.
IS IT PERMANENT?
If you want to have your youth and eat it too, you must have your character injected.
If you would like to enjoy the fountain of youth temporarily: inhale the diffusion.
HOW FAR DO WE DE-AGE?
How much did you inhale/inject? We do not suggest aging down below 10. We allow you to choose for yourself.
MEMORIES (OR LACK THEREOF) OF YOUTH
Those injected would lose memories down to the age they are reverted back to, while those who inhale the gas might have a chance of retaining some of their more grown-up memories. (It’s up to you!)
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Reply to this thread and consider that as tacit approval without a mod having to explicitly state your approval. You then have permission to change the age on your application. PLEASE, PLEASE add a note to the age section that this is a de-aged character, otherwise we will never trust the math on our applications again.
I AM SPECIAL
If you want to do something funky like a gas/injection hybrid consider if it is:
Likely to happen.
Possible at all.
Worth explaining over and over for the rest of your life.
Maybe just don't. This is for fun and meant to extend playability of our beloved characters. When you ask for exceptions it can often feel unfair.
Writer: Deal Rivka in for a temporary (and slight) deage. I think she ought to do Sweet 16 all over again. So, she'll be back to having memories of just arriving in NY. She can get lost all over again! Rivka: I don't suppose *I* get a vote in this? Writer: Nope! LOLOLOL
