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.
Character's real name: Cassidy Aldridge Codename/Alias: Tendril
Gender: Female Age: 22 Nationality/Ethnicity: American - German Birthplace: Los Angeles, California
Personality: Rather snobish and stuck up, used to being pampered, having things given to her, and people to do things for her. She's resentful of being a mutant and doesn't make friends easily. She only cares about herself, and what a situation or a person can do for her. All in all, a rather shallow person, though she has potential to grow out of it given time. She has an artistic flare, though she hasn't done much with it yet.
Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, ect.): She likes to read and occasionally paint. She loves having her picture taken and taking pictures of things. She hates spiders and bats, and anything small that could climb on her and get caught in her hair.
Allegiance: Neutral
Everyday clothing: A black miniskirt that comes down to her upper thigh, a sparkly black top that comes to her hips, and a thick black belt over the top of it with a silver buckle. She wears open-toed black heels, silver hoops in her ears, and a black velvet chocker. She also wears a couple chunky black bracelets with the inhibiting, government issued bracelet on her right wrist to partially disguise it.
Uniform: none ATM Pajamas: A white tank top and black pj bottoms with little pink hearts.
Hair color and style: Variable, generally blonde and shoulder length in a fashionable style Eye color: Blue Height: 5' 11" Build: Athletic and very slender
Scars: --- Tattoos: --- Piercings: One hole in each earlobe, and a hole in the top of her left ear (left over from her 'rebellious' years).
Description of ability: She can grow and manipulate any hair on her body, controling it as a sort of extra limb(s) as well as change the color or texture of it. She refuses to visibly control anything but the hair on her head, and removes hair from anywhere else for cosmetic reasons.
Cons of ability: Her hair takes energy and nutrients from her body to grow. In the course of 24 hours, she can grow it a maximum of 12 feet without any side effects beyond increased appetite. The food she eats normally is enough to fuel the growth. Growing it beyond that begins to drain energy and nutrients from her body's stores. Growing too much too soon can leave her weak and starving (tested to be about 24 feet), and eventually can drain her to the point of death (some point beyond 24 feet, which she hasn't tested).
Fighting style: none atm
History of your character: Born into a rich family, Cassidy started modeling as a young child and made a career of it. She was able to hide her mutant powers when they appeared, but at the age of 22 an accidental use of her powers let out her secret. She lost her job, her money, and her home. Friends and family abandoned her, while the government forced her to register as a mutant. She did so, but is now looking for a place where mutants are accepted, in the hopes of gaining back some part of her former life.

Until I make my own picture for Cassidy, enjoy this one I found on Google that fits her perfectly.
WOAH! Woah woah woah, back up: location in Minnesota? Seriously? I direct you to this thread. No pressure to meet us, or anything, but location-wise, MRO + MN = occasional RL fun. We're all centered around the Cities, mostly.
Oh yay! Welcome! Your power sounds really interesting, can she control things like hair on her arms and elsewhere, too? Kind of a strange question, I know.

xD; Well, she does, but most of the time, she chooses to make it non-existant and just stick to the hair on her head. On the upside, no shaving, right?
She's so shallow about her looks that she wouldn't be caught dead controling hair anywhere but on her head, and chooses to let people believe its only that part.
Welcome to MRO 
hope to see you around the boards
