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.

Eh. However badly Víctor's powers had gone crazy was probably irrelevant, anyway - Ambrose quickly composed an email to all the scientists informing them of this development and to fix it immediately.
"Well, if I were, what degree would you suggest? Before the change I was just going to go for a liberal arts degree, remain undecided until I could figure out what I would like. But I don't want to waste a scholarship on a plan like that. And there aren't exactly a lot of business that would hire someone like me." That self-deprecation again. The man had a beautiful mutation - consider the havoc it could wreak - he just had to accept it first. "Which would leave me with a place like yours or maybe Faust Pharmaceuticals."
Oh, no. No no no. If Víctor intended to use that degree to work for Faust, Ambrose was going to do everything in his power to keep that from happening. He did not like Faust.
"But then it might be rude to use a JW scholarship and end up with the competition." Oh, and the guy was enjoying himself. Lovely.
"All I'm saying is that Faust is woefully understocked in comparison to me, and unless you're a chemistry sort of guy, you'd be hard-pressed to get a good job with her. She produces pharmaceuticals only - we produce anything and everything mutant. If you really want to help our species, I'd suggest coming to work here - no bias on my end, of course," and he smiled as he said that last part. "And engineering's always a good choice - it's generic, and people are always looking for engineers. Anything you pick, really, if you get that scholarship, JW is pretty much obliged to hire you. We need mutants to work for us, after all, since many aren't open enough to wish to do so, and I'm sure you'd be qualified for whatever you put your mind to. You seem like a very determined sort of man."
Mr. Jaager seemed to catch on rather quick to what sort of game he was playing at. And that was fine by him. It would get things to the point a lot faster. No reasons to play around with ifs or buts.

Of course. That smile didn't feel as predator as the previous. A bit more playful rather. The man was suggesting he could help their species. Though he'd hardly counted mutant as a separate species. He still wanted to believe he was human, no matter how he looked. That at the end of the day he still belonged to his family.
"And engineering's always a good choice - it's generic, and people are always looking for engineers. Anything you pick, really, if you get that scholarship, JW is pretty much obliged to hire you.

You seem like a very determined sort of man."
He thought it over, or at least pretended to. He didn't really have to think it over. If he could get a job where he's respected with just as good of pay as his current job, he would do it. No more worrying about getting fired because some ass thought he didn't deserve it. Plus, working for Jaager may mean he could get a promotion instead of being stuck in a job going nowhere for the rest of his life.
"What would I need to do to get the scholarship? Do I just apply or is there an essay involved or something?" He hadn't written an essay since high school but he was sure it wouldn't be that hard to pick it up again. He would just need someone else to do the typing for him since his hands no longer fit computers.

[OOC: Sorry it took so long and it's so short - I've been super busy and I didn't know what to write. Let me know if you want me to add anything more.]
Well, that was something Ambrose could very easily clear up. "As it turns out, you're not the only one with that problem," he said pleasantly. "We usually offer two choices - an interview or an essay. Usually, applicants pick the essay, but if you'd prefer not to, you'd have to make an appointment with one is the members of the application board. And would you look at that - I happen to be one of the members of the application board."
Behind him, the computer beeped. Ambrose turned around briefly to see that all the post-trial data had been collected - Víctor was all set to go. He turned to face the other mutant again. "Well, looks like you're set until next time you come here. If you're seriously considering that scholarship, the application form is on our website, and we handle everything else. Is there anything more you'd like to know?"
(Ooc: It's cool, I'm gonna wrap up so we can move on. Let me know if you want anything edited.) "As it turns out, you're not the only one with that problem. We usually offer two choices - an interview or an essay.

And would you look at that - I happen to be one of the members of the application board."
"I'd appreciate that sir. An interview would be easier than an essay, simply because my hands really don't fit keyboards any more. Besides, I'm pretty sure I've shown here today that I can speak pretty confidently." He grinned and wished he could wink. But he settled for a sly look instead.
He was beginning to like Jaager. Despite giving him the chills at first, the predator feel must have only been a false positive. Jaager was a good man, baring his out burst earlier. Though he really couldn't blame the man for being upset. This cure was a big deal. If it could help mutants like him live more normal lives, then that was a lot of profit to be had.
"Well, looks like you're set until next time you come here. If you're seriously considering that scholarship, the application form is on our website, and we handle everything else. Is there anything more you'd like to know?"
He thought for a moment but decided to pass on more questions. "At the moment, nothing I can think of. I'll go ahead and fill out the application. Thank you for all your help sir. I really appreciate it." He hopped off the table and held out his hand to shake Jaager's. He had a really good feeling about this.
