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 real name: Kami Codename/Alias: Shaolin
Gender: Male Age: 25 Nationality/Ethnicity: Asian Birthplace: Unknown Personality: A stoic individual who has spent the majority of his life keeping stern control over his emotions. He can often appear cold and distant, but this is largely due to his inability to express his feelings. Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, ect.): Kami has no hobbies as such. Having spent his entire life at a Shaolin monastery he has never had time to pursue such thing. Almost his entire life has been spent training or studying, as such he has very little experience of recreational activities. After the events at the monastery he had become very distrustful of humans.
Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): Neutral
Everyday clothing: Shaolin robes Pajamas: Boxers
Hair color and style: Bald Eye color: Grey Height: 5’9” Build: Lean and strong, exceptionally fit due to years of continual training
Scars: n/a Tattoos: n/a Piercings: n/a
Description of ability(ies): Kami has two abilities. The first is he can store incredible amounts of energy in his body. At the moment he can store up to one thousand times the amount of energy a normal human can. This allows him to go for much longer without food due to the massive energy reserves. It also allows him to go without sleep for extended periods and do physical activity for much longer than any human. Secondly he can convert his energy into other forms. Currently he can only create glowing balls of energy that he can throw at people, transferring kinetic energy dependent on the volume of the ball. Over time he has the potential to develop other uses for his energy, such as using it to lift him off the ground and fly or sheathing himself in it to improve his durability and strength. Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): Despite his huge reserves of energy, he can’t utilise it at a faster rate than any other human, only for longer. As such he is no faster or stronger than a human with the amount of training he has had would be. He also has to gain energy the same way normal humans do, so must eat vast amounts to keep his energy reserves up. Fighting style (if any): The Shaolin fighting techniques that he learnt at the monastery.
History of your character: Kami’s parents nor place of birth were never known. He was found on the monastery steps only a few weeks old. The monks took him in and raised him. As such he was training in their ancient arts from a young age. He was unremarkable until the age of eight. One training session he managed to out last all the others, and keep going after they had all given up form exhaustion. It was around that time that his appetite grew and he began eating more and more. As time went on he could train for longer and longer, and was soon training for twelve hours straight a day. Eventually he began to push himself further, and at the age of sixteen went for twenty four hours of training without rest. From then on he began to push himself further and further, increasing the length of time he could train without stopping. The other monks encouraged him, and helped him by taking turns to train with him so he would always have a partner. By eighteen he could train solidly for a week without stopping, though he would need a huge meal and long sleep at the end. It was at the age of twenty that his second power emerged. He was meditating with the others when two glowing yellow balls appeared above his open palms. The monks were astounded to see that he could channel his energy in such a fashion. They encouraged him to work on it, harness and use it. It took him a month to gain full control of it, and then he began to train with it. At first he only utilised small balls, working on his accuracy. Then he began to make the balls bigger and bigger, until one day he used too much power and blew a hole in one of the monastery walls. The monks weren’t angry, as they saw that he was just testing the limits of his abilities. To make amends he worked continuously to repair the damage, not resting until it was completed. With that done the monks lead him to a place up in the mountains where he could unleash the full extent of his powers without hurting anyone. And so he worked on controlling his powers for five years, until the stranger came. A man had come from America to learn and train with the monks. The grand master agreed and he began to train. When he saw that Kami could train for far longer than anyone else, seemingly with out need for food or rest, he began jealous and suspicious of him. His suspicions were confirmed when he witnessed Kami training with his energy. The man withdrew to his room and emerged holding a gun, screaming that Kami was mutant filth and shouldn’t be allowed. Levelling the gun at Kami the man fired one of the monks who Kamis was training with shoved him aside, and took the bullet in the chest. Enraged Kami created a massive ball of energy and blasted it at the man, smashing him out of the monastery and leaving him in a coma. Turning to the monk who had taken the bullet he saw the man’s life slip away. Realising that this was because of him he told the grand master that he would leave to prevent this happening again. The monks tried to convince him to stay, but in then end relented and Kami left the monastery. Having heard that mutants were more common in America they gave him enough money for a plane ticket, and wished him luck. Thus Kami now finds himself on a plane bound for New York, unaware of the new law that has just been passed. Sample RP: “Ok Kami,” Vhann called, “I’m ready.”
Grinning Kami focused and created a small ball of energy in each hand. The balls would have the same force as a punch, so if Vhann didn’t dodge this was going to hurt. He threw the first one, which Vhann side stepped. Throwing the second Vhann dodged again and called for him to speed it up. Kami held out his right hand, palm facing Vhann and focused.
A small ball appeared and flew towards Vhann, swiftly followed by four more. The young monk was hard pressed to avoid the attacks, twisting and turning as he threw his body this way and that to avoid each one as it came. Progressively Kami increased the rate of fire, and Vhann had to work harder and harder. Eventually one of the blasts caught him in the shoulder, spinning him around and knocking him to the ground.
“You ok?” Kami asked.
“Yeah,” said Vhann, getting to his feet, “I’m fine. Just give me a minute to rest and I’ll be ready to go again.”
Nodding his agreement Kami turned to see Alex storming off. The American had been at the monastery for a month, and had proven to be hard working, but he always seemed to be angry at Kami for some unknown reason. Kami watched him head towards his room, wondering what he did to anger the big man.
His thoughts were interrupted by Vhann. “Ok, let’s go again.” Turning back to the monk he raised his left hand this time and fired. Kami was just about to step up the rate of attack when he heard Alex shout to him.
“You freak!” he bellowed, “You shouldn’t be allowed to train here.”
Turning Kami saw Alex had a gun trained on him. “Alex,” he said calmly, “what is the matter?”
“You are you mutant bastard,” the American spat back, “You disgust me, but I have a solution to that.”
He squeezed the trigger and time seemed to slow down. The bullet erupted from the weapon, flying towards Kami. To his right he saw something moving, but couldn’t take his eyes off the bullet. Then it hit him, and he was knocked aside out of the bullets path. Turning in the air he saw Vhann as the bullet hit him in the chest.
At that instant time returned to normal and Kami filled with rage. Summoning more power than eh ever had in the monastery he made an energy ball four feet in diameter and hurled it at Alex. The attack hit him full on, and knocked him back through several walls and out of the monastery. Turning to Vhann he saw the blood pooling around him. Going to the monk’s side he cradled his head and called for help.
“It’s to late my friend,” Vhann said weakly, coughing up blood, “I’m finished. It was an honour to know you Kami.”
“Don’t talk like that,” Kami admonished, tears flowing freely down his face, “You’ll be fine. Help will be here soon and then…”
“No,” Vhann cut him off, “I’m too far gone for help now. Good bye, my friend.” Where did you learn about this site?: RPing as Hunter and Shield
