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.

Dakota had just walked through those huge golden doors. What a pompous person th owner must be Dakota thought. He was not impressed. All his life he had went to visit his fathers associates and they all tried the same trick. Intimidation before even greeting the guest. Well, it only showed that somebody had too much money than they needed.
When he entered he saw a desk with a lady behind it. He approached it and caught the ladies attention. Her nametag said Lisa. "Hello Lisa. I am Dakota Crane. I would like to know if I could take up a residence here?" Dakota said it in an innocent, sweet voice. He thought it might have more of an impact on the lady. He waited for a response.
Lisa looked up from her paperwork as a young man entered the Foyer, flashing him one of those brilliant receptionist-like smiles that she used a million times a day. Another potential resident, there seemed to be more and more of them arriving everyday. Mr. King certainly must be pleased with the success of his Sanctuary. "Hello, Mr. Crane and welcome to the Sanctuary," she greeted, pushing a strand of her blond hair behind her ear to keep it out of her face. "Here we welcome everyone who steps through our gates, provided that they respect the Sanctuary and those that reside within it," she said once more, turning slightly in her chair and reaching a hand down to open one of her drawers.
Straightening her posture once more, she produces a clean white packet of papers from the drawer she'd been shifting through and placed them on top of the desk along with a pen. "We do ask that you fill out these resident forms. Everything written in them is kept confidential and will be placed into our archives. We do ask that you answer every area with honesty and that, if applicable, you describe your mutations as best as you can for safety purposes and in case there are any special requirements that come hand in hand with that mutation. We would like to keep this place safe and welcoming for all residents and potential residents. If you would like, you can take a look around and decide if the Sanctuary suits your tastes. You can leave the packet here and return to fill it out once you've made your decision."
I’m just a well-adjusted gal who likes to leave a serious amount of mayhem in her wake.
"I'll fill it out now." Dakota said. He picked up the papers and started to fill them out. He came to a spot where it said: Are you a member of any other Mutant Organizations?. He wanted to write. Yes. The Kabal lead by Hunter Antonescu but decided not to. He simply wrote: No.
When he was done filling them all out he returned the pen and papers to Lisa. He then nicely said: "I will go take a look around. But first can I meet an old friend of mine? Syn." He saw that she looked surprised when he said Syn's name. That wasn't unusual. Apparently, his old friend was popular here.
Hunter turned away from Calley’s monitor to look over at Dakota’s when he heard him mention Syn. So much for subtly. He pushed the button to activate the microphone. “I hope you have a story ready for when you meet Syn, and it had better be a good one because I’ll be watching.”
Hunter was now focused on Dakota, making sure that his reckless attitude didn’t cause him to regret sending him into the sanctuary.
Dakota looked at Lisa. "I have to go to the bath-room. I'll be right back." he said. He then walked down the hall and stepped into the boys washroom. He saw that there was a radio there and turned up the music. He then started talking to Hunter, pretending to be singing along to the music if anyone saw him on camera.
"It's okay," Dakota told Hunter. "Syn and I are old friends. It'll all be okay. I won't say anything about the Kabal." He then told Hunter he had to go and left the washroom. When he returned to the desk Lisa told him to sit down and wait. Sy would be there shortly probably.
While Dakota was sitting Lisa came up to him. "I'm sorry sir but Ms. Syn is busy now. She'll come to get you as soon as she can. In the mean time feel free to look around." Dakota wasn't surprised by that. Syn was an important/busy woman now. "Actually," Dakota responded. "On those papers I filled out I left my cell number. Tell her to call me when she can see me. 'Till then I'll be on my way."
OOC: Syn, when you're not busy PM me and we can keep going on this thread.
