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.
Okay, sorry I've been slow in here lately. Got distracted OOC.
Anyway; I'm fine with you guys profiling the Zodiacs, once of course you have something to profile from, aka, witnesses or reports from those attacked. The General can be profiled too, but remember; he's only going to show up as a voice after the attacks are done, so you probably won't have much to work with on him. He's going to be the shadow leader until near the end; heck, he probably won't even announce himself as the General in his message.
Now, with the exception of my own ass kicking(yea, Ill try to speed that up), the other individual threads are finished. Oh, and the open thread; Ill probably have Libra retreat soon, once the cops show up to make things even more confusing. Ill admit, I had intended to use other Zodiacs in that thread, but again, I got sidetracked and the thing had a life of its own by then. So they'll show up in good time.
Now, I'm probably going to make a new OOC thread for signing up people to encounter the Zodiacs on their own. I will also start taking notice to who wishes to take down which Zodiac. NOTE! AT THIS POINT IN TIME, the Zodiacs I intend to keep alive at the end are Sagittarius and Aquarius. Cancer, Libra, Aries and Leo are the ones I have left open to death, while the others I am still contemplating.
Also as of this moment, and I apologize for this, but Cancer has been claimed by Isabel for his end, while I believe CS wanted Leo, though I will confirm this as soon as possible. Apologies to all if this derails anyone's plan, but if you've read the individual threads, I think they've earned them >_>.
Anyway, I'll make this all official today, if I don't get pinned down. Keep it going people! You're doing everything I expected with this plot!
>> The General can be profiled too, but remember; he's only going to show up as a voice after the attacks are done, so you probably won't have much to work with on him.

I think it's a good challenge because when you think about the actual practical application of profiling, police have no idea who a murderer is. They use profiling as trying to find out who it is, by looking at their victims, the crimes they can tie them to etc. But I think it would make more sense for them to profile the known zodiacs and then realize someone else is pulling the strings and start to theorize about him. Profiling isn't always right or an exact science so there's totally room for getting it wrong (on purpose!).
I sort of see our idea as running in tandem with these threads. So a thread at the police station discussing everything that's been known so far etc. And then eventually probably merge into the final thread(s) if that makes any sense?
Sounds good, so Streak just keep me posted when you want to start. Maybe we can do a few posts in a thread and then open it up to anyone who had an experience with the zodiac to come in and be interviewed?
I started a thread for Streak and Lana to meet and chat about what's been going on. Anyone who has fought with Zodiac and would like to be interviewed (so we can build a profile)send me a PM and I'll invite you to the thread when it makes sense!
Does anyone want to hire Clay to investigate one of the zodiacs or their leader? willing to work for/with the X-Men or the Order for information gathering or something similar.
