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.

It is that time once again, folks! Let's start this brand, new year on MRO off with a bang, and show some love for your fellow MRO'ers by nominating them for MotM. You can nominate a person for any number of reasons-- the merit of their writing, their attitude OOC, a combination thereof, and more-- so please, state your case, and maybe link some threads, and make someone's day with a nomination.
Nominate today!
The nomination period will end in fifteen days, on January 30th. So please, do not hesitate.

I would like to nominate Chrysanthemum Van Hart for MotM! She's spooky. She's gorgeous. She's an adorable, terrifying, masochistic kidnapper who is perfectly happy with who she is. And yet, even beneath all of those crazy characteristics, there's something even deeper and more complex about Chrys that I think her writer deals with very well and very subtly.
Some recommended reading: Pet Project - Continued from this thread. In which Chrys successfully kidnaps her next pet, Akshay, and spends a delicious week with him.
Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - In which Tses unwillingly becomes Chrys' newest plaything. (See a common trend, here?) They play voodoo doll dress-up! [This thread also leads into When Life Leaves You Desperate, where some illegal activity is currently brewing~]
Family Business - A new solo in which Chrys' relationship with her father is further explored, as well as some business news.
Is it possible to be addicted to a character? Because even as her actions horrify me...I can't stop reading!
She has been incredibly friendly, both in RP and OOC, and she has been an unbelievable help to my start in the RPG. Her character, Regan, is an excellent character to RP with, and she is a lot of fun to mess with. A couple examples of such are as follows:
Looking for a Reason Regan and Mariusz deal with a VERY curious Colt, and Regan winds up with a job!
There's a Tiger at the Desk? Regan starts a job at Colt's shop, but it goes haywire as one of the customer's daughter is a teleporting mutant and scares the snot out of her!
