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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Happy MRO Joinmonth!
This is a thread celebrating the members who have officially been on the site for a year or more. This is a place where we can show our appreciation for the senior members by leaving messages or gifts to celebrate the year(s) of MRO awesomeitude they have given us.
Some "gift" ideas include things you have made or found for the person such as pictures, songs, links, or poems. They might remind you of their character, or they may just be something that makes you laugh. Anything goes! Even a simple message, or "joinmonth card" would be awesome.
This month we celebrate Raina, Nicki, and Silver Streak's 1 year anniversary of joining, as well as Fade's 2 year anniversary. Congratulations!
Raina: thanks for a giving us a great year of RP! I found this pic and thought of you, so I made it into your official joinmonth card. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Happy May! The month to be gay! Tralalalala! *dances off*
Anyways, this month we celebrate Calley, Zephyr, Gore, and Cassiel who all joined one year ago! A special round of applause to Emerald, who has been here 2 years this month!
(Also, Fade: IOU one join month picture. I just need photoshop access for, like, 5 minutes.)
Your unprecedented paint skills serve as a lesson to all of us Shrapnel. As to what kind of lesson, well... I wouldn't want to to disrupt the festive atmosphere that seems to have permeated this thread, especially for one which celebrates my own presence.
Sadly I must now return to the real world and deal with my finals, to those who have been stuck in RP limbo while awaiting my response I hope to reward your patience sometime next week.
Cafas: "Zephyr is the king of bad decisions, but if Sebby being weak to ghost is anything to go by, not so amazing at follow through."
It is now June, which means a new round of people who need congratulating for their MRO joinmonth! Congratulations to Ted and Hunter, who have both been on the site for a year!
*Celebrations* *confetti* *presents*
As usual, feel free to leave messages, pictures, songs, links, and other presents for our fanged and furry friends from the UK.
