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'm good to go on this whenever; just send me the link when it's up.
If I may make a suggestion on posting order, something that's worked well in the past with big threads like this is to have a "one or two posts per day per character" rule, rather than a "A posts, the B posts, ..., then Z posts, and repeat the cycle" style of normal threads. Then nobody gets left behind, but slow posters don't hold everyone up, either. (And people that want to move super fast can always break off into a separate thread, as desired.) Does the one-or-two-posts per day with no posting order work for peeps, or would we like to handle the posting a different way?
I think that suggestion works well for me Calley Kitteh. Again, as I noted previously all I ask is that people avoid the chaos until I give the green light.
I think that it would be best to go through any of the 'asking' people threads first, just to give us time before the actual party for other plots to finish up. For instance, I don't know what exactly happens right around the end of the riots still so making sure that little timeline thing is cleared would be helpful.
Um, would it not be easier for it to split up into different threads? I was just thinking, it would be very hard to keep track for people, especially someone who is interested in the plot, but not in it. Because there are sooo many people being involved in this plot.
I think maybe having one starter thread then branching off if we need to would work well. I've seen people do this effectively before and it helps. You can still follow the main storyline, but there are links 'this conversation/interaction continued in such and such thread', then they can come back into the main plotting. When we have stuff happening at the end and it gets more chaos, less 'party' I think having a bunch of different threads would be messy at that point. It gets hard to maintain continuity and interact with other people if you have to thread hop too much. Also, the one, two posts a day helps avoid waiting for one person and I do like that idea for big threads.
I think I tend to agree with both ways of thinking I propose this, please offer your opinion:
1. Party will BEGIN in a unified thread
You will introduce your character(s) to the party in this thread. You can begin to mingle and do whatever else you would like to do there. If you begin interacting with someone else (private chat, a dance, advance mayhem plotting, etc.) then you can branch that out into a separate thread, if you like. To keep the big thread from running away from the slower players a post limit of 2 posts per character per day will be imposed in the big thread, but there will be no set posting order (for example Mati could post 4 times a day in the big thread, twice with Evelyn and twice with Tses).
2. Once the unified thread has started players may split off into more personal and smaller threads if they want
Are you having a private chat during the party with another guest? You can do that in a separate thread, just link to it in the Main Thread. Are you dancing, schnmoozing, mingling, etc. and wish to proceed at your own pace? You can split off and do it in your own thread, if you wish... again, just link back to your separate thread in the main one.
3. Once the Chaos begins we'll all merge back into the main thread.
Once I give the green light for the chaos and/or violence to begin everyone should condense back into the main thread since most of the chaosy things that are happening will be (I imagine) big things it makes sense that everyone should be responding to them, thus one big thread. To keep the big thread from running away from the slower players a post limit of 2 posts per character per day will be imposed in the big thread, but there will be no set posting order (for example Mati could post 4 times a day in the big thread, twice with Evelyn and twice with Tses).
