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.

Kitra stared at the tendril, "How did you do that?" She blinked at Sapphire's next words, tendril forgotten, "Wait, you paint? That's awesome." She frowned slightly and walked towards the studio door and stopped at it. "Hunter....well...he offered me a job after finding out that my parents put a bounty on my head." Kitra shrugged, "That night, after meeting him, I was attacked by three bounty hunters." She shrugged again and opened her studio door and turned to Sapphire, "You going to come in here or not?" She walked in and turned on the lights.
(OOC: Sapphire, you can describe anything you like for drawings and a few oddball paintings.)

When Kitra mentioned her parents puting a bounty on her head, Sapphire rolled her eyes, she knew that athority figures could be disheartening. She looked around at the studio at the paintgs, doodles and such around it. The Dingo woman didnt judge other's work she just observed most of the time, and most of this stuff was pretty good in her opinion.
"Nice, Oh and dont ask to see my painting...they are a bit morbid." She replied.
"Nice, Oh and dont ask to see my painting...they are a bit morbid."
Kitra raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask. "Ok Sapphire that's cool." She walked over and nabbed a stool, placing it in front of medium sized drawing board. She then grabbed a fresh drawing pad off a shelf, also grabbing a set of colored pencils. 'Simple tools are sometimes the best.' She padded back to the stool and sat down and looked at Sapphire. "If you want to watch or create something yourself, go for it." She shrugged, "I don't mind."
Kitra began sketching the figure of Abyss, soon to follow would be the others that she had just....met.
The doorbell rang. It was rung by a delivery man. He had a package for Kitra. Inside was a new watch, to replace the one that was taken from her. Along with the watch was a note which read:
Kitra,
Your mistake in the alleyway was costly. Asides from various difficulties that it has caused me it has also cost your bodyguard Derrick his life. This is the only warning that you are going to get.
Think carefully before using your powers in public.
Kitra frowned at the doorbell. Sighing she got up and walked to the door and opened it. A delivery man handed her a package and walked off. She closed the door and stared at the package.....Her guess it was from Hunter. Gulping, she opened it and read the note inside....
Kitra,
Your mistake in the alleyway was costly. Asides from various difficulties that it has caused me it has also cost your bodyguard Derrick his life. This is the only warning that you are going to get.
Think carefully before using your powers in public.
Hunter
She swallowed, 'So Derrick was dead. But, by who's hand? And I'm lucky I actually got a warning. I'll have to be way more careful now.' She sighed unhappily, this would probably be a good time to stay in her apartment until Hunter had an assignment for her. She would get grocies of course, otherwise, she wouldn't stray far. She brightened, 'Perfect time for me to really train on bringing weaponery into being....and perhaps trying to bring sketches of people and animals into being.
She walked back into the studio and sat at her drawing board. After a minute or so she began to work on Abyss' sketch again.

Sapphire looked at the drawings and then found a blank canvas. She grabbed some paints she got from a drawer and began loosely doing a pastel paintings of bats, ravens and various dingos surrounding a deer.
She listened to Kitra come back in and she glanced at the other woman.
"Trouble with the boss? Dont sweat it, just ignore him." Sapphire replied
"Trouble with the boss? Dont sweat it, just ignore him."
Kitra grinned, "Thanks Sapphire. Do you think you will be staying the night?" She chuckled, "If either of us got to sleep that is." She finished her sketch of Abyss and began filling in color for him. She soon finished that and started sketching the short-haired twin. Her tongue stuck out as she worked, her eyes seemed slightly glazed as her pencil flew across the paper...
Sapphire glanced at the girls powers and though they were intresting. She then continued her sketch, trying to make it somewhat life like before she added her own touch. A touch that most artists would call abstract but she herself called it something else, her mutilation mark. A mark that would look bad to some people but would bring out the true inner meaning of her work to others.
"I may be staying, just depends on my mood." The darkness user responded
Kitra looked up, slightly startled. It had been so quiet, plus her concentrating so hard...."That's fine whataver you want to do is cool with me." She grinned, "After all, you did just save me soooo I owe you." Her gaze returned to her work, she had Abyss and the shorthaired twin done and was almost done with the longhaired twin, soon that Mandain character and Syn would follow.
