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.

"The time has come, the ham fairy said, "to talk many things. Of mutants--and men--and adaptation-- Of tails--and wings-- And why it is a deserved nomination, our monthly MotM conversation."
Yeeeah. Sometimes rhyming is fun. You know what else is fun? Nominating a worthy mutant (human or adapted) for October's Mutant of the Month poll. Finish up your nominations (including rhyme, reason, and a few favorite threads) by the first of November.
I would like to nominate Graviton. He has some awesome writing skills and excitement for action threads. I think he would make a good choice for Mutant of the Month.
This month I believe Hull deserves to win Mutant of the Month.
The brilliantly talented player behind the character has never won before, though he is one of the members that has been here the longest. He has shown continued dedication to the site; no matter how busy life gets, he never forgets about us. Often he comes to say 'hi' even when he doesn't have time to post.
This player ups the average literacy level of the site with each of his posts. I learn more interesting vocabulary words from his posts than I even paid attention to in high school English classes. His posts are also incredibly well thought out; he puts so much effort and skill into each one that I am honored each time he posts for one of my characters.
His writing has a unique voice that personifies the individual characters he portrays. His style of writing is immediately recognizable, impossible to replicate (though I tried once), and always a pleasure to read.
The character Hull in particular has made an incredibly large impact on the site in a very small number of posts. He has physically and mentally scarred at least three characters in ways that have caused ripples throughout the site, leaving his mark on many more threads than he has actually been in himself. In approximately four different story arcs I think he has managed to make more characters enemies than Katrina has made friends (even after the two years I have been posting with her).
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: These posts contain substances that are incredibly addictive. It is inadvisable to start reading any of these threads when it is already past your bedtime.
(P.S. Sorry Ham Fairy, but I couldn't get all that to rhyme.)
