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.

Ben saw the gate grow larger and larger as he approached it. He looked for a buzzer to let someone know he was here. Not able to find one, he wondered at what he should do. Then he saw the camera. He waved at it, then clicked on his walkman. He sat back and listened to some Immortal Technique figuring someone would be out shortly....
(OOC:WOOOOORD?! What do you know about Immortal Technique?!)
Tricity clicked the radio back on her hip after getting notification from Johnathon that someone was at the gate. She walked across the lawn and saw the young man listening to music, patiently waiting. Tricity mentally unlocked the gates and pulled them open to let him on the grounds.
"Hi. My name is Miss Tipper or Tricity as most call me nowadays. You lookin' for a place to stay?"
( OOC definetly, revoloutionary Vol.2 is a masterpiece...Im bring a little street culture to the mix)
Ben paused his walkman. Slipping his headphones off he turned to connect a face with the words he had heard. " Yes mam, at least I can't go home for sure. My name's Ben, Ben Murphy. So everyone here is a...a mutant just like me?
Tricity nodded toward him with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Ben. Come on in."
She moved back and let him in before closing the gates and leading him toward the mansion. "Yes, everyone here is a mutant just like you. I have to ask you a few standard questions before you move in though. I need to know what your mutation is exactly and if it's dangerous to anyone else or yourself. Gotta keep everyone safe..."
Ben stopped for a minute, not knowing yet how he would explain his mutation. Ms. Tricity was the first to ever ask this question he would probably hear the rest of his life.
" Wel mam as best I can tell, whenever i hear sounds....well i guess i absorb them. Like i can feel myself absorbing it even now. If i want to I can shoot that energy out of my hands, and if i concentrate really hard, sometimes i can form shapes out it. When i project it it can be strong. I cracked a brick wall one time. I used these sticks (shows her his drumsticks) to drum on the ground until i felt alot of the energy inside me, then focused my shot on a point on the wall. I think i have control but , my power has actuvated without me choosing it too once before. I was getting..beatup. I hope that anwsers your question, to be honest mam, thats all i know about it at this point...."
As he finished speaking he turned and looked at Tricity. His face said it all. He wondered if he truly had peers in this new life of his. Had people really been faced with the uncertainty before him now?
"Ok, Ben. Welcome to the mansion. I'll help you out in learning more about your mutation, so don't worry about that." She opened the doors to the mansion and showed him inside to the front hallway. "Well, this is it. The dorms are upstairs on the second floor. You can choose any one you want on the guys' side. My room is on the same hallway as the infirmary if you need anything. Downstairs we have the kitchen, library, danger room, living rooms, and dining rooms...though, if you plan on using the danger room, set the level to beginners' simulation. In there you can practice your mutation."
She sighed with a smile and handed him the 'new resident' packet. "That's just some manditory papers to fill out along with a map and rules of the house. Do you have any questions?"
Ben thought for a moment. he had a million questions, but he didnt want to take up all this nice ladies time. He figured he should go find a room, after that there'd be plenty of time for questions.
" No mam" Ben said , " Reckon I'll go ahead and find a room. Thanks so much for taking me in ." And with that Ben headed upstairs.
