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: Aidan Orion Codename/Alias:
Gender: Male Age: 21 Nationality/Ethnicity: Irish American Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland Personality: Aidan tends to be a bit brash and outspoken but knows when its best to keep his mouth shut though his “shoot first, ask later” mentality and problem with authority tend to get him trouble. He is fairly loyal to those he considers his friends and will help them if he can. Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, ect.): As noted above, Aidan tends to prefer action over questions and it tends to get him into trouble. Accordingly, the police have a ‘small’ file on him. This file mainly pertains to the many fist fights and brawls he has been in that the police have had to break up. He is a mutant and proud of it, and as such, has a slight problem trusting humans in the current political climate. He will help mutants no matter what their alliance and will allow humans to help him but is careful about trusting them.
Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): Neutral, for the time being.
Everyday clothing: Aidan dresses fairly casual most of the time. Generally this is a pair of jeans that are slightly torn at the knees and cuffs, a pair of Black Doc Martin Boots, and a T shirt. He occasionally wears a button down shirt as well. Uniform (Optional. Required if eventually becoming part of the X-Men): None. Pajamas: Boxers if he remembers to change into them. The clothes he was wearing otherwise.
Hair color and style: Short and spiky, but not military hair cut short, and a very vibrant, red with sun-bleached tips. Eye color: Emerald Green Height: 6’ 0” Build[/b]: Aidan is fit but not overly buff. He has an athlete’s body shape with broad shoulders and a slightly narrower waist. Aidan is gifted with his body though. He spends an hour every day working out.
Scars: None, yet. Tattoos: Between Shoulders; A pair of dice showing snake eyes in front of a four leaf clover. A banner surrounding all of this reads “Luck of the Irish.” Back of Neck; A Storm Cloud with two crossed lightning bolts coming out of it. Piercings and Jewelry: A small silver cross on a silver chain that hangs down to the middle of his chest and a silver four leaf clover on a silver chain just shorter than the other.
Description of ability(ies): Aidan’s unique mutation allows his body to constantly absorb electricity from the world around him. He can then emit this electricity in several ways. The two he uses the most are; 1. As arcs of lightning used as weapons, shocking the target and possibly incapictating it. 2. To augment his speed and reflexes so that he moves super fast. There are other ways that this electricity can be used but Aidan doesn’t know them yet. Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): If Aidan allows too much electricity to build up it can send his body into an overload situation causing his speech to come out super fast ( indicated by text with no spaces, likethisforexample.) and can eventually cause him to black out. The worst case scenario of this would be a loss of control over his electrical charge, causing it to release wildly, possibly harming his friends. Fighting style (if any): Aidan has no real fighting Style. He is a street brawler if he has too and fights dirty if it will help him.
History of your character: According to his adopted parents, Aidan Orion was born a ward of the state in Ireland. He had never known his true parents and as far as he was concerned they didn’t exist any longer. The Orion’s had adopted him when he was 4 years old. Then, they had still lived in Dublin and Aidan had enjoyed a fairly normal child hood. That was until his 8th birthday. It was then that his powers manifested, or at least first showed up. He was outside playing tag and chasing down his best friend, thinking that only if he could go faster he could tag his friend and win this round. As he finished that thought he was suddenly running faster than he ever had before. His legs and arms had become a blur and before he knew it he had closed the distance and tagged his friend. When Aidan realized what had happened he tripped and skidded across the grass for a good 10 feet before coming to a stop, leaving him with some gnarly scrapes and completely freaking out his friends. His parents had rushed outside to see why everyone was running away and screaming. When they discovered Aidan sprawled on the ground and bleeding they had him rushed to the hospital. It was there that the doctors found out that Aidan possessed the X gene and that his body absorbed electricity and stored it in specially designed cells inside his body.. They wanted to run tests on him, but his parents declined. Over the next several years, Aidan taught himself how to control his abilities, learning to control his speed enhancing power and accidentally discovering that he could shoot arcs of lightning. After graduating secondary school, Aidan decided he wanted to go to college in the United States for a change of scenery and a fresh start where no one knew he had powers. Seeing as he liked to be the DJ at the parties he had been going to since becoming a teenager, Aidan decided to attend Bard College in New York to get himself a music degree. To pay for college, he got himself a job as a DJ in New York City. Aidan applied himself to his school work and graduated college at age 21, just before the Registration Act became law. Not wanting to register because he doesn’t feel he should be forced to but wanting to help his fellow mutants if possible, Aidan has gone into hiding in New York, still doing his DJ job as way to pay his rent and what not and looking for a way to help or some sort of resistance to join.
Sample RP:
“You still in town, eh?” Stephanie asked Aidan as she came in and found him preparing to take over the DJ both for the night. “I figured you would have gotten out by now, the amount of information the cops have on you and the introduction of the Registration.”
“I can’t leave. I still owe money for that apartment I bought when I moved to New York City and I have to pay my bills. I think it would cause more a ruckus, me disappearing, than me just lying low and trying to stay out of trouble,” Aidan answered as he grinned at the waitress. He ran a hand through his hair and checking his watch. ‘ Dave is running over his time again. Oh well’ he thought to himself. ‘Guess I will go get a drink while he finishes up.’ . With that, Aidan followed Stephanie out into the club and over to the bar. He ordered himself a Shiner Blonde and sat back to watch the people on the dance floor and those mingling around the bar.
As he finished his beer, Aidan saw Dave motion to him from the both and got the hint that Dave had just put his last track on. He nodded to the bar keep and then made his way back to the booth where he and Dave shook each others hands before Aidan took over the booth. Dave had left a decent trance track running and as it ran to a close, Aidan began to mix it with a Happy Hardcore track to fuse some energy back into the crowd. Towards the end of his set, Aidan noticed a pair of cops enter the bar and start asking questions. The taller of the pair made a gesture toward Aidan and that’s when Aidan decided it was time to get going. He put on a trance track and made for the back door to the booth but the cops were already there. The next DJ, Max, slipped past, giving Aidan a look that said ‘sorry, I couldn’t stop them’ and then left Aidan alone with the cops.
“Are you Aidan Orion?” asked the shorter cop asked as they pair trailed Aidan to his locker.
“And if I am?”
“We are just checking up on a rumor that you have a mutation and haven’t registered. You do realize that all mutants are required to do so now, right? If you are a mutant and haven’t the consequences can be quite severe.”
“Well, I hate to disappoint you to gents but I am not a mutant, nor was me da or grand da either,” Aidan said as he placed his hand into his locker. He touched the metal of the locker and released some of the electricity his body had been gathering all night into it, giving all the locker a static charge which immediately shocked the larger cop who had been leaning against the lockers. He pulled out his back pack and turned. “So if there be nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
“Just don’t leave town, we may need to find you again,” answered the larger cop as he rubbed his arm where the locker had shocked him.
Aidan just smirked as he pushed past the two cops and out the back door. He got onto his motorcycle and thumbed the ignition switch, bringing the machine to life with a hearty roar. The whole drive home, Aidan was looking over his shoulder to make sure he wasn’t being followed and even took a longer path home to fool anyone trying to follow him. As he pulled into his normal parking spot, Aidan gave the surrounding area a once over glance. Not noticing anything supicious he walked to his front door, thinking ‘I need to find a place to hide, and soon. Otherwise, I will probably get taken to those camps I have heard about.’
