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 actually do have allot of questions... But because my head feels like it's about to explode, I'll keep it quick and simple. Where are we? What are we about to do? And what the hell did you hit me for? Jesus my head already hurt..."
Oh, good, he wasn't freaking out; Roach had been slightly afraid he might freak out. Instead, he complained about a head ache... Hmm... Maybe knocking him out had been a bit unnecessary. "I shall answer your question in no particular order... Sorry, I suppose I could have just invited you down. We are in the basement, and I'm inducting you into a secret society of spies, double agents, and information gatherers... Of which you are the second member, if you count myself... Asprin?"
He reached into his shell and produced a bottle, shaking it in Ty's face. "I've never done this before... What was your opinion on the whole knocking out thing? I mean, if it wasn't with yourself... Should I knock out the next inductee? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, now that I've told you all of this, if you don't join, I'll kill you. Minor detail, though I suppose it makes the decision easy.
Are you ready to swear in the oath? Also any more questions before we proceed?" As he spoke he went about sauntering over to the podium, where he pulled out a large, dusty tome. It was mostly empty, as it had been a journal, but Roach was slowly filling it... With rules, oaths, and whatnot for the Order of Shadows. That is what he'd named his group within a group... It made sense, as that was where he planned for them to spend most of their time.

Ty gave a dry laugh before producing his own bottle of aspirin and shaking it, though it made a louder sound given that it wasn't as full. As he popped two more pills, he almost choked at the "If you don't join, I'll kill you" remark. Well, whatever he was in, he was in deep, wasn't he? Oh well. What did he have to lose? Besides...he'd be making money.
"Sure. I'm in," he replied, not really a hundred percent sure of what he was getting himself into, but then again...was he ever fully sure? He straightened in his chair, watching the roach-man make his move.
"That's all that comes to mind. But the knocking out might be a bit much. I mean, unless you don't want any new recruits to know were they are until everything's over. Then again...it's sorta creepy. Almost intimidating. If you're going for that, I say keep it." He gave a shrug.
Oh, he carried his own painkillers. That made things easier, he supposed; after all, if he supplied everyone he planned to flog with painkillers he'd be in a mountain of debt! The giant bug placed the bottle back in his shell, and went about his tome gathering business.
"Then again...it's sorta creepy. Almost intimidating. If you're going for that, I say keep it"
"Oh, good. I shall knock out the next inductee as well, then! Since it's such a good plan, I simply couldn't take all of the credit. From now on, everyone I knock out shall know you approved of the process! Don't be bashful, you know you deserve the credit!" A deranged cackled wracked itself from his throat, for just a moment, and then the room went incredibly silent.
It wasn't an awkward silence... More a foreboding one; He wondered if this was what it felt like to be the devil, signing away the souls of helpless mortals. He liked the feeling.
With a lazy wave, he beckoned Fisher over to him.
"Place your hand on the book. Repeat after me, boy..."
"I am not a human being. I am a shadow. Because of this, I lose three things. I have no blood, and thus I will not bleed. I have no skin, and thus I will not feel. I have no heart, and thus I will never love. Blood is weakness, I forsake it now. Skin is presence, I will not be seen. Love is death, I cannot die. Through all of this, I gain three things. I am a shadow. I am not a human being."

Okay, suddenly the atmosphere in the room became really ominous. Intimidating, even. Obediently, Ty stood up and walked towards the roach-mutant, placing his right hand on the book. He was still a little weak, but it was nothing he hadn't handled before. When Roach, Ty solemnly repeated every word, each one sinking in as he did so.
"I am not a human being. I am a shadow. Because of this, I lose three things. I have no blood, and thus I will not bleed. I have no skin, and thus I will not feel. I have no heart, and thus I will never love. Blood is weakness, I forsake it now. Skin is presence, I will not be seen. Love is death, I cannot die. Through all of this, I gain three things. I am a shadow. I am not a human being."
Ty felt somewhat of a chill as he finished repeating the oath. He was never a human being. He was a mutant. Set apart because he was different. Maybe even better. And now, he could be a part of something bigger. Something that set him even more apart.
