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.

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.
I'm up for a thread if you don't mind a bit of erratic posting, since I just got back to work after having several days off. Most of the times I post at nights (central time till november 4th, 2:am I think) and I'm slow at writing, but tend to do lengthy posts when inspired.
I'm interested in a bit of action. I've done fun threads with Miles, intro ones as well and a couple of drama ones, but I'd like to put Miles in a bit of danger (he likely will in the Riot plot when that starts) and trying to use his pups in a fight. Mind you, he's not likely to be competent at this, he's not heroic or selfless, but he'll do the right thing under pressure. I've no problems with having him lose and learn from the experience and I can't help joking a bit here or there when I post.
We can come up with NPC bad guys if you want or maybe a third player will feel like being the antagonist.
I just gave a quick read to your profile and noticed our characters share some guilt regarding their families. Yours is far more serious than mine though, since Miles just ran away and the only deaths (and resurrections) were those of his dogs.
I don't mind a bit of erratic posting. It could be interesting. And I like threads that have a bit of action in them, but I'm also open to threads that are simply sitting down and talking.
Now, about joking here or there with a post or two, I do have a possible thread idea with an NPC... but I would call this NPC a 'bad' guy since this mutant can't control their power quite yet. The idea is that this NPC's mutation allows him make two mutants switch their powers, so Rook would have the thralls while M.D. Haxton would manipulate malachite. The two switch mutants would have to work together to figure out how to control each other's powers while trying to find the NPC that did this to them and get that NPC to switch their powers back to normal... and maybe have to protect that NPC from another group of mutants that also had their powers switch and wand revenge.
Crazy idea, but it could be very funny. What do you think?
Well, I noticed you also put yourself forward for the habitat for mutanity plot, so we could thread us meeting up at an induction day. Verdy lives at the mansion, is often out and about walking her dog, and works in Cafas' sword shop, if any of those tickle your fancy either
Meeting up at the induction day for the habitat for mutanity sounds good, but when is that starting? The sword shop sounds good too... but Alex isn't gonna have a home to keep any sword in when my current m-drug plot thread is done.
I have no idea about the starting time, but seeing as its listed as a current plot, it can't be too far away... I have 4 days of performance left, then I'm done uni for the year, and will be free for mucho posting ^_^.
Sounds good. Hm... maybe Alex would be interested in the sword shop if he sensed a lot of malachite within the shop. Are there any rare pieces or collector items for sale in that shop?

Hmmm, it's all metal stuff, as Cafas is a metal manipulator and its his shop... but there might be something with malachite on it decoratively or something? If Alex found the website for the shop he could have comissioned something specific, but unless someone else did and it wasn't picked up, there probably wouldn't be any just laying around :/
I'll be home after uni if you feel like plotting.
