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.

Mettaliar's eyes widened as the knife seemed to not penetrate his hand. He took the knife back and looked at it, be reassured it was sharp.
"Wow, I am impressed. So if I were to slash at your face, it wouldn't cut it?" He put the knife into his pocket to assure him he was not thinking of actually trying that. He took another cookie and began eating it. "Wow these are addicting." he said with a smile to Nicki.

“That’s right,” said Michael with a big grin, “I’ve been shot, stabbed and hit by cars and lorries. I have never had so much as a scratch.” With that he finished of his cookie.
“Mettaliar’s right Nicki, you make an excellent cookie.” Taking another he took a glug of his milk before biting into it.

Mettaliar sat forward in his chair a bit more. He was glad he was getting to know these people. Being a loner for so long really didn't treat him as well as these people were treating him. He smiled and calculated a bit in his head at Nicki's question.
"Uhhh, about a year. Yeah around there. I haven't come out of my room much though so yeah I really haven't met anyone here so far besides you guys and the adults." He leaned his chin against his fist and looked at both of them.

“Well hopefully we can get you to venture out of your room a bit more often,” said Michael with a smile. “If it’s not too personal a question why did you stay up in your room so long? It seems like you only came out because you’re starving.”
Michael said it with a laugh, but hoped that Mettalair didn’t take offence. “So can you make any wooden or metal object, or are you just limited to weapons?” If he could make anything that would just be awesome, but even if it was only weapons it was still a very cool power.

Mettaliar smiled. "Eh... that might take a while," he claimed referring to the anti-lonering of him, "but it could happen." he said nodding. "And yes I can make any wood or metal object, just as long as it's wood or metal." he answered

"Always good. Let's you have a really nice 'just in case' on the off chance your back gets set against the wall..." Nicki smiled brightly, looking at both boys. "Keeps you from being up the creek without a paddle you know?" she took another cookie, biting into it.

Mettaliar nodded his head. He noticed that his chair had slid closer to the table. He felt it was a good sign as he was growing closer to them. He took another bite of his cookie and looked at them some more. He paid a bit more attention to Nicki, trying to sense if she was trying to read his "book" if you will. He didn't make it obvious and drank some more Mountain Dew.

Yeah, catching you unprepared should be a little tricky, seeing as you can pull stuff out of thin air,” Michael agreed as he finished his cookie and went for another. “So do have any plans for the future Mett, or just going to see what happens?”
He spotted that Mettaliar had moved a little close, which could only be a good thing as it showed that he was getting more comfortable around them. Wondering why Mettaliar might be a bit of a loner his thoughts went to the knife he had made.
If you weren’t invincible you probably were a little weary around a guy who can pull blades out of thin air. That thought hadn’t registered with Michael, as nothing that Mettaliar could conjure up would harm him.

Nicki chuckled lightly as Mett eyed her. She recoginized that look: that was the look of a man who thought she was trying to dive into his brain. She couldn't really blame him for his thought: after all, she had been trying to earlier and she just couldn't shake this feeling that Mett was suffering from something, like he had had a particularly horrible day or something bad had happened recently.
Nicki tried to cut out her own curiousity and stop looking, since it was clearly making Mett uncomfortable.

Mettaliar finished cookie and decided to not look like a pig and wait a bit before taking another cookie. "Hmm... probably stay here as long as I can. Nothing really to look forward to for me. Plus this place looks very nice. What about you guys?" He lifted his head up and played with his hair a bit out of habit. He caught himself and put his hands down.

Michael finished his cookie, but stopped short of taking another, after all, didn’t want to seem greedy. “Myself, I’m looking at joining the police force. I have always wanted to help people, and considering that the dangers in that line of work don’t really apply to me I think I’m an ideal candidate, providing that they accept mutants of course.”
He drained his glass of milk and set it down on the table. Looking at both Nicki and Mettaliar he smiled. It was only his first day, but it looked like he’d already made some friends. Life at the mansion looked like it was going to be good fun.

"I'm thinking college in some sense...or maybe I'll just join that super-secret club we all know lives here" Nicki smiled and winked at Mett, before taking two cookies and putting one in front of each of the boys.
"You two are funny. You both wanted another one but opted not to take one cause of what the other people might think..." Nicki chuckled slightly and grabbed another cookie for herself, dunking it in milk, and taking a bit.

Mettaliar blushed. Damn she's good. Maybe she'd have figured it out herself if he had cut his thought off. He eyed her with a friendly smile and chuckled.
"That's probably in store for me as well. I mean I have up to a high school sophmores education, plus being a mutant. Not really much of a choice. Plus this is my only real 'home' in a sense." He had a lapse of back home for about a milisecond, then cut it off. Damn, she probably saw that, too. He blushed a bit more before taking another cookie and biting into it looking down a bit.

“Not much gets past you eh Nicki?” said Michael with a smile as he took another cookie. “Now forgive my ignorance, but what super-secret club are you talking about?” He was intrigued, and wondered what it was all about.
He took a bite of the cookie, grinning at Nicki. The girl sure knew how o make a very good cookie. He defiantly would be wanting more of these during his time here, he only hope he could find something to do for Nicki to repay her.
