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.

History Of Your Character: Bjorn was born in Belgium and grew up whit his father. His mom was a inspector of the Belgium police forces but she was poisoned during her pregnancy by heavy-metal poisoning. Somebody had slipped some highly toxic metal in her food and she was braucht instantly to the hospital. As they soon realized that the poisoning was too severe they decided to try and save her son instead. This is how Bjorn was born.. Way to early but surprisingly in a good shape and unaffected by the heavy poisoning of his mother.
Bjorn grew up getting all the love and attention he needed from his father but he was always rather weak in his posture. When he was born the doctors concluded that he had very weak bones that would easily break so he always had to be careful what he did. It wasn't until he was 8 that they found out about his hidden mutation. During a hiking trip Bjorn tripped and fell of a cliff slamming his head against the rock wall. He rushed the unconscious Bjorn back to the hospital but that's where they did a strange finding.. His bones weren't weak anymore, they had become solid and after a few tests they realized that his whole skeletal structure had changed into metal.
His fathers and the doctors where shocked by this fact but Bjorn actually got a mental boost from it. He was no longer the weak guy that couldn't do things because he had to be afraid he broke his bones. Aside from artistic hobby's he had he started to do things he always wanted to do: Martial arts. He began by going to a local club that teaches Thai boxing. Whit his now reinforced bone structure he became very good at it. His father tough didn't knew what to think about it and had to camp whit a new problem too. Ever since the fall Bjorn had a very short temper and tended to work that out aggressively against people that annoyed him.
But as Bjorn grew up further they noticed that the metal skeleton wasn't the end of it. Slowly his hair, nails and even his teeth started to change into the same metal substance that now made up his whole skeleton. His father was truly horrified by this and the sudden up rise of anti-mutant groups in Europe didn't made it any easier for him. Bjorn didn't minded his further transformation at all even tough people wondered if his body could handle further changes into metal.
Bjorn spend his time to explore his ability's and soon realized that he could manipulate and control the metallic parts of his body. But the relation between him and his father turned rather sour. Not being able to handle the fact that his son was a mutant he started to drink and got depressed eventually even blaming Bjorn for the death of his mother. In one of the many fight that followed he actually told Bjorn that he wasn't welcome anymore since he rather had no son then a freak as one. Furious Bjorn grabbed his bags and headed out of his old house without even looking back once. Now he wanders around not really knowing what to do whit his life and trying to find a place where he can belong.

Cool character. I like the touch about the metal poisoning in the history, and Bjorn being unaffected at such a young age. It'll be interesting to see where Bjorn ends up.
