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.
This is Evelyn, and she is a mutant with hyper-awareness, powers that have caught the attention of some unsavorable characters in the past. She was nick-named Holmes after the beloved detective Sherlock Holmes, and while they may share some of the intelligence and the ability to solve problems, Evelyn is quite different from her namesake.
Evelyn loves art. She loves the library, studying, and she works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has starkingly white hair, and her eyes almost look grey at times, so her appearance has been known to draw attention. But she keeps to herself, and if you were to ask if she was a mutant, she'd firmly deny it. She thinks her 'abilities' are human, and because she is afraid of what being a mutant would mean, she refuses to consider the possibilities. Even though:
"When you have elliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbably, must be the truth."
Things to keep in mind about role-playing with Evelyn Evelyn has hyper-awareness, and she will pick up on things about your character just from their manners, how they act, things they say, and things they wear. So the details in posts are very important to keep the situations believable. Evelyn is very good at identifying mutants, but if there are other things she may pick up on, those are useful to know when plotting.
Anyway, there is my little plotting area. If anyone has anything to suggest or throw out there, I'm all ears : )
I was thinking it might be fun for her to meet Juka. As Juka is currently appearing as a 14 year old teenager, I'm sure she'd be able to pick up on his little secret.
I think either or both of those would be fun. Would have to think of someplace for them to meet, so if either of you has an idea, let me know! Like I said, she works at the musuem, but she also frequents cafes, restaurants, ect, mostly with Jensen in tow.
Juka is good to meet anywhere except those places that serve alcoholic beverages, due to his currently appearing 14. He stands out in a crowd and is especially fond of shopping and fine foods. I'm not sure that he'd be found in a museum, however, unless it were a very eclectic sort of museum.
Oh right, the whole field trip thing I forgot about that possibility. What grade is Michelle in? Possibly could do a thread with the three of us if there is any interest in that.
I'm up for anything. Evelyn will gladly bore the kids to death with her knowledge of art XD then freak them out by pointing out their deepest darkest secrets whahahaha. ok maybe not that creepy but lol ^-^
