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.

Hi all!
Jorge here. This is just a notice of slowness / possibly absence. Me and Mrs. Jorge are going to be moving by the end of the week. We are the proud owners of a condo (our first purchased home) and we are planning to move in this Thursday (30th). Because we still have packing to do, and we are trying to schedule all the important activation of things such as internet and electricity, I will probably only be active from work, but even then we are starting our Finals schedule and that means that I will probably be uber busy. Therefore, I am just passing this along to let everyone know that I may not be around much this week, or possibly even the next as that will start my crazy hours. However, I will, of course, post where I can and, if anyone needs me, feel free to PM me here or message me on Discord if you have it.
Thanks oodles and I will see you guys from my new home!
-- Jorge
This affects: Jorge Cervantes, Agnes Nicholas, Booker B. Bookman, Kristoph Karlson, and Winnifred Ann Wickham
The end of the semester is always the worst! Last day of finals is Dec. 13th. Really looking forward to returning! And thank you for your patience and understanding. <3 And congrats on the move, Jorge! Yay for new life chapters.
Hey guys! I figured I should probably post something on here. You may have noticed that I've been a little slower with posts lately (or not, I don't know your business), and that's because, like lots of others, I'm at the end of my semester. Finals are finished for me on the 20th and I'll be picking up extra shifts at work for the holiday season, so chances are that I'll continue to be slow for the next little while.
TL;DR: I'll still be around; this is a heads up about slowness. <3
- Lix (Elixir, Juliette, Natalie, Charlie, Ravi, and Siobhan)
P.S. Congrats Jorge!
P.P.S. If you see me around lots during exam season, please tell me to go away. <3
I have been inactive and I might be inactive for another week or so, meaning I won't be able to respond to the roleplays I'm apart of straight away, neither will I be able to join threads. I have been swamped with college assignments that I need to pass, and my dog got put down about a week ago. It's been stressful. I hope to be back soon. :-)
As many of you know, I'm in the very hectic process of trying to move as quickly as possible to OKC while simultaneously preparing to visit Massachusetts for about a week. As you might guess, I'll be scarce for the next week or two.
Once I settle into my new life (which is still bananas to say,) expect to see a return to more activity for me!
This affects: Nate, Becca, Nessa, Marisol, and Sabine
So sorry I didn't announce my absence. I didn't really plan to be gone, but one thing after another happened. My apologies to anyone I left hanging.
I see there's lots of awesome new characters and some strange new AV-verse looking new C-box. So I'm slowly starting to get back in the swing of things posting and checking out all the new developments.
Hey all, I figure I should probably make something public.
I've been feeling like this for a little while now, but at this point, I don't think that MRO is the place for me anymore. I've enjoyed the past few years that I've spent on here, but I feel like it might be time for me to move on. I hope you guys continue with awesome plots and characters and continue to have good times on here. I'm not closing the door on coming back, but right now I will be discontinuing my current plots and arcs.
If you have plots with my characters, you can assume that they are closed, and you're welcome to either continue on without them or reroute the arcs entirely. If you have any questions, feel free to PM or message me (if you already have my discord only, please).
Thanks for the good times, guys. Keep on keeping on. <3

I'll miss you Lix. You were a great friend and an amazing RP partner. But you do what you gotta. You take care of yourself and we'll keep a light in the window for you.

Sorry to see you go, Lix. I loved threading with you. You're awesome. I wish you the best, whatever you're up to!
On an unrelated note, Juli and I just had a baby! 9 lbs, 1 oz. We had him on the 4th. Because of the whole new dad thing, posting from me may or may not be scarce! We shall see. Maybe it'll go up, while I'm busy watching him and sitting around doing not a lot else. Maybe not. He's my first child. I'm super excited! Just thought I'd share.
This affects Shin, Lenna, Ashton, Amelia, and Elliott / Benji.
I see that Shin posted, but I'll piggyback on what he said.
We had our little guy almost two weeks ago now! We are starting to figure things out, but I think it will be a while before I'm back up to full posting steam. Feel free to message me on Discord if you need anything or want to see pictures. I have LOTS and love to show them off.
This affects Quin, Tarin, Kealey, and anyone else I haven't been particularly active with lately.
