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.

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.
So Koga has a reptile genome that caues him to take on the more beneficial reptilian adaptations. I have listed a lot of the ones that I found interesting.
fangs, venom, scales, tail, autonomy( lose a limb, it'll grow back later defense), running on water, contortion(multipieced skullor even skeleton), dislocate jaw, claws, fast reflexes, rattle, advanced senses on tounge, lose of hearing. Shark like teeth, leaping, slow metabolism, eats big meals every month or so(instead of normal). sheds skin(dry and cool) scales make drinking water not as necessary. armor scales horns/spikes?
Now I don't want to step on toes, so I probably will avoid the venom to stay out of Iron mouths realm though it is more poison then acid. I am also trying to decide how reptiley to make him, do I go full lizard man? I want to give him his own niche and stay out of Ayesac's yard as well.
I've played with a shifty form in my head and am not sure if I it fits in my head with what I want. anywho, I was wondering if anybody had suggestions.
FP thoughts anyone? a twenty year old Koga is sure to be fun. buit the path there is making me a bit crazy.

Full lizard man! Full lizard man! You've got the forked tongue... let's get some cute little horns, snake skin that sheds, eating once a month, human ears fell off years ago, hair is spiked--literally; and a black/green color scheme.
You know you want to.
You should also smell through your tongue.
And let's get some claws, on hands and feet.
If you go super extreme, it will help you decide where you'd actually like to take him in the current time by showing you what aspects you like to RP about. I also fully encourage putting on things you would never actually do, just because this is the only chance you'll get to do them.
Ooo! And flaps of skin under your arms useful for gliding.
And a neck flap thing that can pop up. Think Jurassic Park.
I assume you'll have a full tail, as well? Right, right?
I Like the Lizard man idea, myself. As for venom you could try the komodo dragon aproach and simply have deadly bacteria living in Koga's mouth. Though im unsure what this might do to his breath. Limb regeneration would also be a good one.
I think the real issue is do you want to go snake or lizard, as each are different types of creatures with their own advantages and disatvatnges to consider.The armored scales could also be interesting as well.
luckily for me Reptile covers both of those. (LOOPHOLE!) I could also throw some aligator or turtl stuff If I wanted too...Amphibians however are the otherside of the track.
one of my creepiest ideas in there is the fracturing of the bones or becoming and gaining more joints, so that he can hold a humanoid form or go into snake mode and be all sorts of slithery. it is a good addition to the already establish constricting.

If you plan on kissing anyone in the FP, I suggest poison sacs + fangs rather than the poisonous or bacteria filled saliva. Unless you want to have a kiss of death... which could also be interesting.
Is Koga going good or bad in the future? Xmen? possible Pax recruit? Order? I'm guessing he wouldn't want to live in Antarctica, with the whole cold blooded thing, but that could be an interesting obstacle to deal with as well.
Hmmmm, I don't know if he is going to be much of a lover, paticularly if I go the uber lizard route. I would like to play him as an honest hero, I have trouble sticking to the good alignment, But I want to do it with Koga. I reall want to play him toward a paladin/Knight sort of justice for all sort of mindset. So hopefully Xmen. No antartica for him, I might very well go Fight for the humans in Austrailia. The kiss of death has a paticular appeal to it.simply for all the angsty reasons. And if it was Bacteria, he would probably simply need to head for the Healer dating area...or maybe that could even be a weakness for him.
