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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

"Yup." she said, on the subject of her parents. "My parents didn't really do hotels...except in Chicago."
The idea of camping in Central Park was a little laughable though.
" There are some really nice places up state. A couple of lakes where you can hike for miles and not see another person. Have you ever been anywhere like that? I know you grew up a city boy."

He laughed at that. 'City Boy.' "I didn't spend all my time in cities, you know. I did have a childhood. I went to summer camp, once or twice. They had to get rid of me somehow. Those lakes sound nice. Maybe some time you can show me." Another smile her way.

She hadn't ever actually said he'd spent his whole life in the city...just suggested that maybe he'd never been camping in upstate New York.
Quin had to smile in commiseration at the idea of summer camp though. "I went to camps every now and then too. I went to a horse camp once, and a wilderness camp, I even went to an environmental awareness camp where they wouldn't let us use paper or bathe with running water."
There were some interesting stories that went along with those camp tales, and Quin smiled at them as they continued to drive. As to what Ashton had said....
"Lakes are a blast. Especially the big, secluded ones with birds and nice places to swim....though I hear the one in Central Park is nice this time of year too." In a totally different, man-made way. You could see the restaurant lights, and the people walking around.

"A horse camp, huh? Fun," He shook his head. "And that other camp sounds interesting. I'll want details. I'm sure you have plenty of stories there..." Ashton went on, decidedly, eyeing her with interest. Environmental awareness camp. Hippie parents. She certainly wasn't your typical lady cop. It was one of the many things about her he found intriguing. "I propose a trade." He added. "Story for story, some time. Though probably--"
He interrupted his line of thought to make another turn. A few minutes more of driving, and they'd be there.
"Not tonight, if we're checking out the stars and the lake. I feel like we'll have more pressing topics on our minds." He finished. He let the subtle lead-on sit there playing Solitaire. It put an ace down and grinned.

"So is your beauty," Ashton replied. With a small sigh, he asked her. "Can't I study that?"
A small grin slipped back onto his face, post-acting routine. "We can always study the stars tomorrow." He pretended to chide her. "They'll still be there. Although, I suppose if you insist," He turned the full grin her way. "Tonight we can do both."

Smooth. Very smooth.
"Flattery won't get you everything." Quin said, reaching over to poke him in the shoulder. She still didn't know how to handle compliments like that, not when they were coming from Ashton, but it sure felt nice.
They could do both. Quin pushed her hair behind one ear and smiled back with a slightly bashful shrug.

>>"Flattery won't get you everything." Quin poked him. And he assented, with his grin. Yes, they could do both, Quin agreed with his compromise.
"It's a date," He announced proudly. Eyes back on the road, he added. "And here we are."
It didn't take long for him to park them on the street by the park. After that, he went around to her side and got her door. He held it for her with a smile.

As Ashton opened her door, Quin wished emphatically that she wasn't in work slacks and a button-up shirt. A nighttime stroll like this seemed like it was made for jeans and a tank top. It was late summer, but it was still warm out, and jeans were comfortable on a walk.
It wasn't to be this time though and they were in work clothes. Quin climbed out of the car, Ashton shut the door, and they started to walk, closer together than when they'd been in the parking garage. They were off the clock and beyond the gaze of prying eyes.
"Ashton?" she said as they walked, glancing around and realizing she really hadn't been paying attention to where they were.

His right index finger arched up to point at the sky.
"Not a complete loss. We still have stars." She knew where those were. Those weren't halfway across Central Park, misted in secrecy. "Which reminds me. I have not asked this cheesy question yet, and really am kicking myself now. What's your sign?"
His smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. Valid question, despite the history of it being a pick-up line. His shoulder bumped gently against hers, enjoying the proximity (even in work clothes).

"Sagittarius." she answered promptly, "And you're a Pisces." She knew things, even if he didn't know that she knew them.
Things weren't necessarily in their favor as far as signs were concerned, but astrology rarely took outside factors into consideration. There was also no need to tell Ashton that. They were having a nice night and he could do an internet search for the information just as well as she could.
"And you're right, the lights from the restaurant would probably dull the stars. Let's just find somewhere nice to settle."

"The Archer, huh?" He reached down and snagged her hand, then gave is a squeeze. "That's cute."
Hey, he knew things too! All sorts of things!
"I read on a place mat somewhere. Isn't Pisces ruled by Jupiter? And Sagittarius, too?" He hadn't made a cheat sheet, nope. Not him. Or googled ahead of time. Place mat. Second grade. Under a giant stack of pancakes in a diner that really prided itself on its knowledge of the planets and star signs.
They passed under the light of a light on the path. It was warm, but there was a nice breeze. It kept bringing him her scent. He liked the feel of her hand in his, and still had not let go.

Quin nodded her head slowly as Ashton pointed out that he did know something about Astrology. It didn't light a candle to what she knew, but it was something...and he'd caught the irony of her sign, as well as her hand. The redhead smiled, pushing her hair back again with her free hand.
"The God of big things." she said, in reference to Jupiter, looking up as they walked and trusting Ashton to guide their way, "And big ideas," she continued, " and a world view to reflect them."
The words had probably come from somewhere, some book or website, but they'd stuck with her and always sounded elegant in her head. "Is it true?" she asked sagely, "Do you make the world what you want it to be?"
