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.
Hi there! I’m the mind behind this guy right here, Chad Basil. He also goes by Baze, or his mutant name: Megalodon. Mostly, he just goes by Chad. So, Chad is a mutant with a fish/shark physiology. He’s grayish blue and scaly, he has fins and gills and everything… He’s pretty awesome.
He’s been in New York City for a couple weeks now, mostly just walking around the Bronx, keeping close to the Hudson River. He has absolutely no connections at the moment, which isn’t really fun or productive when it comes to plots.
SO! I want plots! Lots and lots of them1 I’d love to get him in the thick of things early on… so if anyone needs someone totally random to fill up an empty seat for a particular plot arc… I’d be more than willing to work something out!
Chad is a good guy, so I doubt he’d go on a murder spree any time soon. He’s not into mutant supremacy or anything like that… however, I do think he could possibly agree on some things the Order believes in. For one thing, if he meets the right person and he/she earns his trust… He takes loyalty really seriously and is super protective of his friends/loved ones, so there’s that.
For the most part, though, I would love for him to have ties to people from the X-Mansion. He’ll stubbornly refuse to actually join any affiliation or even take up residence at the school for a while, but like I mentioned earlier, if the X’s play their cards right… he could grow pretty fond of the people at the school.
It’s really all up in the wind right now. It all depends on who he meets and who says what. I don’t want to decide right now where I want him to go…
So yeah! I’d love a few threads, maybe stuff that could develop into plot arcs or just give me opportunity for more interactions afterward?
I’m so excited for this, though. This site is really, really incredible and so far, all of you guys have been really lovely and fun!

So, I play Evelyn, Tses, and Ryden. Evelyn has hyper-awareness and is an x-trainee at the mansion. I'm not really sure where they'd run into each other unless he decided to go to a museum or was in the park or something, but she can be a little outspoken, although mostly friendly, when she meets people.
Tses is a pain in the butt thief who can pretty much be anywhere or everywhere. She can't swim though, which could either be a good or a bad thing. If I push her off a pier somewhere the flailing and cussing would probably generate some attention in the aquatic world. That could be a fun thread starter though.
I also have Ryden who breaks things when he talks. He is a reporter so he wanders from time to time, and he tries to get away from the city especially when he's got a deadline.

Well, I have James who is pretty simple to summarize. He's a teenager who is currently living at the mansion. He is more of an outdoor person and spends a large amount of time wandering around doing a lot of nothing. His mutation is the ability to transform his skin into steel and he is pretty interested in mutants as a rule, he might approach one if he saw one, especially one who looks interesting.
Recently he has done an awful lot of testing his mutation in dangerous ways. If you want he could be trying it out near water and fall in, unable to swim for obvious reasons.
Evelyn is one of the characters I stalked read quite a lot about since last night and I absolutely love her. <33 Chad is really not the museum-y type but I can definitely see him roaming about at the park, especially if there's water around. He can tolerate swimming in lakes even this time of year.
Ah, a fellow thief. Chad steals to survive, though. And he usually picks on people that "look" as if they won't miss a couple bucks. He's pretty skilled at it, although he doesn't necessarily like it. But yeah, he'd definitely save her given the opportunity. Leaving a stranger to drown when he can do something about it isn't his style, even if he is a tad antisocial.
I'm not too sure what we can do with Chad and Ryden at the moment, but they could definitely interact somewhere down the road.
I'm torn between Evelyn and Tses, really. If you want, you can choose which one you'd like to thread with?
And as for James... saving people from water is gonna become his thing, isn't it? xD Umm, I like the idea of James just approaching him or something? I don't know, maybe at a coffee shop or something? I strategically made it so that Chad is currently roaming about pretty close to the school, so he could meet mutants that go/live there.

Hmmm. Well Evelyn would be good to get you pointed towards the mansion, but Tses would be amusing for dramas sake. We could do Evelyn for now, and later down the road have Tses and Chad post? Because if he's stealing in the city and she caught wind of it, she'd definitely see that as a challenge.

Well, James has been running every morning while made of steel to get used to it, if you want he could be running and then literally run into Chad, them both obviously being mutants could spark a conversation. Considering James would automatically assume a mutant near the mansion is making their way there.
