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.

I would like to nominate Slate for January's mutant of the month. His posts are well thought out, well written, and both interesting and pleasurable to read. This past month he has done an amazing job of revitalizing the Kabal by bringing it an active leader in character, creating interest for the faction, recruiting members, and creating missions for Kabal members to participate in. His development as a character has come a long way from a voice in Calley's head all the way to leader of his own faction, and the entire journey has been fun to watch as it unfolds; we've gotten to enjoy everything from Slate's first joke to his first kiss and so much more!
Any one who is not yet convinced should read the following threads, written this month: ”Learning to Live” (also starring Calley, but leads up to other fun things) and ”Edit”

After organizing the MOTM I realized we have an awesome player who hasn't won! Silver Streak! What is up with that? his posts totally kick butt, and he works himself so hard being a greeter and recruiter! It's time to show some mad love to the shiny man.

Man Raina! You stole my nomination choice!
Streak deffinately deserves to be nominated for MOTM but seeing as how he's already been nominated I must make a different choice.
Giant's Bane has some great threads that have been a joy to read. From one of his first threads with Lori (Desperate Times) leading directly into an even more interesting thread (The Naked Giant). Votes for the big guy!
I would like to second Slate's nomination because (he) started world war III in the context of a Pokemon battle in the FP. [FP] Scherzo. Additional props for taking over the Kabal in the current plot. Those two posts are extremely well written. Good job, Slate!
Almost all of my top choices have been nominated here. Almost...
Katrina. You have all the powers here on MRO wrapped around your little finger. You could rule the world here, on MRO, if you batted your eye lashes enough. Katrina's writing is not only superb, but she spends much of her time, doing the mod work here on MRO.
