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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
a link so one can see the skins w/out all the forum stuff in the middle. some of these skins are kicking and I'd love to see them in their entirety w/ nothing in the foreground
That's a rather good idea, and shouldn't be too hard to do--we just need to get up a listing of the original links behind the images being used.
Too add onto that, I'm thinking a link were people can preview skins without actually going through the work of switching to all of them on their profiles would be cool. That'd be more difficult, but quite a nice feature, if we do it.

Screen shot and then link to the picture? Just a thought.

I'd love to do character themed skins for everyone, like Abyss and Slate's, it just takes an incredible amount of time to do them and doing them for every possible character is going to take a lot of work. In all likelihood we will never be able to have a skin for every character. The character based skins we already have were chosen because I already had the correct sized background pictures to use for them and it was therefore convenient and easy to make skins out of them (not because those particular characters are awesome or I like them better than anyone else).
You can make things easier for the graphics mods by doing some of the initial image searching yourself. For example, WereCat is currently working on making a background for a WereCat skin and creating all the images herself. If you have an idea for a new skin, send it in! One of the most time consuming parts of creating skins is finding and/or making images that will work for the backgrounds.
What we need for a skin is a picture that is or can be easily made into a background sized picture 1024 pixels wide. We're trying to avoid tiled images.
Each skin also needs a banner, a scroll over image, and two small images that go next to the board names and show whether there are unread messages in that board.
Also, if you have ideas about color schemes for the board color, links, font, etc., I'd be glad to hear those too.
Well, as some might have noticed, I do love to work with pictures and such. If finding images, making the banner/ scroll over image, ect is what it takes the most of the time I will gladly help with those. Color schemes as well. So if the mods are ok with me helping with the skins, then members who wish for a personalized skin just need to pm me.
