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?

Panu is best son ever to best adoptive father Ambrose. Is work with Ragnarok to plant many many many presents for Ambrose allllllll over New York. Probably in Mansion and Sanctuary and Times Square and a Children's Hospital and definitely definitely under the tree at Rockefeller Center. Then he is send happy death threat Christmas cards to all the goodies. He and Best Father Ambrose can sit at home and watch on TV as city scrambles to find real bombs among many many fakes. Is a Christmas full of fun and laughter. <3
X-Mas Plot Idea: Ragnarok plants bombs (real and fake) around the city, wrapped up as X-Mas presents. Clues to the bomb locations are sent to the media, the X's, and the NYPD, and a building in Times Square lights up with a happy Christmas countdown.
Who wants in?
Update: A few ideas for possible roles
Ragnarok - Bomb planters, whether you know (and/or agree with) what you're doing or not. (Panu himself is going to be rather on the edge of his seat hoping that the goodies get places evacuated before boom-time.)
X-Men / Goodies - Happy hunting!
Civilians - You'll know the bomb location clues from the media, so feel free to join the defusing race. Or, if you're so inclined, take advantage of the chaos to go Christmas shopping with a crow bar. Anyone willing to take a courier job off of Craigslist could be an unwitting bomb carrier, as well. <3
I'm game. Jack would either be an unwitting participant of some sort OR since she's part of Mansion Security... hmm... potential there. Like walking the grounds and sweeping or chilling with students to keep them calm. Something.
