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.
So...this is something I thought of a little while ago, and I thought it might be fun to play with (especially as phase 1 nears a close).
Basically, the general idea is that in response to the internet video, a handful of Senators and House Representatives decide to launch a big, fancy, "We're-mutant-friendly" campaign. So...lots of political ads and posters portraying your local Representative or Senator as "Friendly with the Mutant Community". (It's important to note that not every Congressman is doing this. By a handful, I mean, like, 4 or 5, with them centralized in New York and the states around it.)
There aren't a whole lot of ways that people can get really involved at the moment in time, and it's more along the line of something your character might see and react to. In later phases, however, I could kinda see this getting just a little more prominent.

I like this idea. I could definitely picture some public officials doing this, and leaving the public to interpret whether those said officials are indeed mutant-friendly saints or just sneaky politicians taking advantage of the situation to bolster their image. It could lead to some debate between the different characters. I'd be readily willing to have Clyde react to something like this.

I like this, very much so. Count Ty in, though I gotta say he has a very low view of politicians, methinks. But hey his reaction should prove fun. *nodnod*
Though it sounds like the general consensus is going to be fairly negative. xD
As for any specific group posts, there aren't any going right now. I believe I've mentioned this, but you're likely to expect those around phase 2 of the Riot Plot. For now, though, if you're getting directly involved with any government officials doing this, just go ahead and post it here so people can stay informed. ^^
