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.

Cher Jude,[/size] I'm writing in English to help you practice, since you will be coming to America soon. I hope you can read my scrawly old fashioned handwriting. If not, at least you will know that I sent you a letter and you can take comfort in that, non?
The journey thus far has been uneventful. The alps were breathtakingly beautiful, as always. There was one sunset in particular I wish you could have seen. It looked like the heaven's had shattered and through the cracks flew angels with orange flaming wings and brilliant pink halos, at least somewhat. Ghost would perhaps describe it differently.
It was a new experience for me, driving over mountains. I think my knuckles shall permanently have turned white after those steep downhill slopes. You thought they were white before? You should see them now.
It is winter in Germany and Austria and Hungary. Is it still fall on the French side of the mountains or did winter descend this suddenly onto every part of Europe? I got cold very quickly, and even as I write this, a few white flakes dance downward outside the window, threatening to cover the ground in its winter colors.
When we arrive at our destination, we will work hard to help so we can come back as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy these last days with your friends. They are good lads.
Sebastian Csendes[/size]
P.S. I am mailing this letter from the last town before we reach our destination. I am uncertain as to whether we will have the ability to send letters from inside such a tumultuous country. Keep your eye on the newspapers and stay updated on current events in the world.

Cher Jude,[/size] My hand shakes as I write. I do not know
You deserve
It is not easy to write the words to tell you what happened. It seems as though as soon as the words are on the paper, it makes it true. I don't want it to be true.
You love her, too, so I feel I must tell you what happened. Maya, Ghost was captured.
Where she was taken, I do not know for certain. If the rumors are true, captured mutants are being transported to work camps. History repeats itself.
Those blind [greek word]s couldn't even see that we were helping. They cannot see someone healing the wounded. They cannot see someone aiding victims as they escape a burning building. They see only mutants. They wear spectacles shaded with fear, and anger and hatred. [Another choice greek phrase].
I will get her back. I swear, no matter what it takes, I will get Ghost back and we will all go home together. We will be a family. We will...[pen trails off].
The way home is already paved, I have only to travel it now.

Cher Jude,[/size] I'm sure you have heard the adage 'patience is a virtue'. It seems to be a favorite piece of advice among governesses and nuns, mothers and ladies who run orphanages. Perhaps they choose to chant it over and over to remind themselves that they must be patient with young boys, lest their tempers run too short and leave the world with a shortage of males.
I am not finding it easy to have patience these days. Every day is one day closer to the day that Maya is back in my arms. One day closer to the day that you are back in our arms.
Never has time moved so slowly. The seconds seem to stretch into hours. The minutes are days. Already since I started writing this, a year has passed. It makes me restless, but no amount of any activity quells that feeling that I am not doing enough, that there is still something undone and if I can hurry up and do it things will be hurried along. Soon Nothing is soon these days. Eventually after what seems like an eternity, I find that I've already done everything that I can do.
Gods I hate this waiting. I'm going to go exercise.

Cher Jude,[/size] I thought it had been a century since I last wrote, but the date on the top of the letter informs me that it was only yesterday that I wrote the last time. There is nothing new to report. Just another day in hades for us all.
Sebastian Csendes[/size]
P.S. I never got the chance to ask you, do you believe in any gods? If you do, please pray for us. We need all the prayers we can get.
J, pardon my scribbles. S O Tunnels Phase Smash Teleport
