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.

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.
We could all wake up without memories at first and gradually the memories start getting clearer and clearer until eventually we wouldn't remember that it wasn't reality anymore. Then we would have to beat the bad person before we totally forget our reality.
That I think is the best of both worlds. We can wake up going WTF? then gradually move into remembering.
so, is the idea that this affects everyone? like, on the planet? or just the PCs? or just some of us?
if it affects lots of people, I'd suggest we not remember everything leading up to the future-point when we return... otherwise when it ends, we have to deal with the consequences of large-scale clairvoyance. (Even if the future isn't fixed, there's still potential information overload.)

Well, I'm guessing it's pretty much unanimous. lol
The only thing I can think to bring up as a possibly problem would be getting our powers approved by the mods. Speaking just for myself, I plan on Iris becoming pretty powerful eventually. A jump like this would include more than one power needing approval, which could cause problems for the mods. If the plots agreed on (which I'm totally in favor for, where would the power limit be set?

Well, perhaps there could be a place for us to post our 'developed' mutations then. Basically just avoid godmodding, powerplaying and such. This way we'll each know what the other is capable of (OOC of course, no IC knowledge as usual), and any issues can be hammered out before the plot goes up, so rp can be fairly smooth.
How far ahead are we going to go? Hunter is basicly trying to work his way into power, but actually has no interest in being the president. That possion has too many limits, he wants complete power. I don't expect him to achive it for another hundred years or so, but he would only get more powerful as time went on.
This sounds like fun! I'd probably have Ted able to transform an have half a second of battling his instincts (as opposed to the five minutes in the x-men try-outs.....) and I might reveal a cool power that I've been thinking about adding to Shogun when he gets more powerful (obviously I'm not to going to have him use the power in non-time-plot RP, yet.....). I'm all in, regardless of the details!

Abyss, Iris, Katrina and myself had a sort of unplanned brain storming session about this topic. As you read it you'll find out why I put it in here like this. Read it as you would the cbox, bottom to top.
Kaz: but nothing long standing or the memories from ourtime to the future time
Iris/Twins/Neena: You know, I think I agree with Kat. My mind is spinning atm. lol I'm going to have a hard time sleeping now.
Kaz: about the 'recent' time
Kaz: how we'd have 'fake' memories
Iris/Twins/Neena: Or maybe not necessarily keep them, but realize they're possible, and try to achieve them again?
Kaz: did you read my suggestion int eh plot idea
Abyss: i think so drawing to and from your actuall self.
Katrina: My brain hurts. I think it is my bed time.
Iris/Twins/Neena:
Iris/Twins/Neena: So, you think its real and forget previous memories, then realize it isn't, and memories come back?
Kaz: those who decide to accept it as real would not loose their new powers
Kaz: but...on the flip side
Kaz: yup yup
Katrina: That's interesting too Kaz. Kind of the opposite of starting without memories and gradually getting them back.
Kaz: as your brain begins to fight it off
Kaz: as you go on through all of this, if you start to realize this ISN'T real. the more you begin to realize it isn't real your 'future' power begins to fade back to what it really is in reality
Kaz: a very interesting idea
Kaz: i just had a thought
Kaz: ooh ooh oooh!
Abyss: hahaha
Iris/Twins/Neena: Welcome to my world Kaz.
Kaz: and i caved. ive started to copy and paste what has been said into wordpad
Kaz: why am i very suddenly confused
Iris/Twins/Neena: Or something like that....
Kaz: kat and dream?
Kaz: wait huh
Iris/Twins/Neena: Oh that's true. Deja's dreams become reality, right? So a distraught Katrina + plus a brainwashed Deja = trouble for the rest of us. Right?
Katrina: We can talk again tomorrow Iris.
Kaz: who underderstands if you do things through dreams...the mind has an easier time believing it *shrug*
Iris/Twins/Neena: But for some reason I'm having a hard time tearing myself away from the convo.....
Katrina: Using Deja would make it more real.
Kaz: it could be a reality bender
Iris/Twins/Neena: In my case Kaz, mainly because I just noticed the clock, and forgot I have to be up early. :roll:
Katrina: I'm not suggesting that it be me, It's just kind of a coincidence.
Iris/Twins/Neena: Hmm... only problem is the whole thing wouldn't be a real illusion, right? Or else the advanced mutations wouldn't be real?
Katrina: Hmm. Do we know any 12 year old illusionists who lack control of their powers?
Kaz: ....why am i nominated to do it?
Iris/Twins/Neena: And high emotion.
Abyss: well if he was from the future he could have studied a history book.
Iris/Twins/Neena: Not necessarily. All it takes is a major lack of control.
Abyss: ouch
Katrina: I think it would have to be an adult doing it in order to figure out how to manipulate Deja
Iris/Twins/Neena: lol
Katrina: *Kaz
Katrina: I nominate Kas for this task!
Iris/Twins/Neena: hehe Eh... go for it.... lol
Kaz: to show how our ideas grew
Kaz: im almost thinking it would be easier to just copy and past what we've said in the cbox into the thread XD for the most part, deleting things that don't go along with it
Iris/Twins/Neena: Either way, there no real 'bad guy', just a confused or traumatized kid.
Kaz: ummm....
Kaz: lol!
Abyss: ok well if anyone wants to put some of this down in the thread that'd be cool
Iris/Twins/Neena: Probably Kaz. lol I've seen way too many cartoons in life.
Iris/Twins/Neena: But his powers were out of control and caused 'out of phase' moments where reality returned for a brief moment before he could bring it back under control.
Kaz: that could be JLA tv show from cartoon network?
Kaz: at least if im remembering the manga correctly
Iris/Twins/Neena: I saw it on a cartoon once. A kid (12 or so) was a sole survivor of a disaster. He was an illusionist, and managed to alter the world back to something that he was happy with.
Kaz: change something so the future would change and be avoided
Kaz: negima, a younge mage in the 'current' time is a key player. because of what he does the future changes. someone from the future, aparently related to him some how, went back in time to kill him or -
Katrina: What about Negi?
Iris/Twins/Neena: *wacky
Iris/Twins/Neena: Oooo..... wait, I thought of something really wakcy!
Abyss: becuase I think that seeing the future would have to change it some form or fashiopn.
Kaz: NEGIMA!
Kaz: ooh ooh
Kaz: that could be
Abyss: just a future he doesn't like.
Abyss: it doesn't nessacarily have to be evil.
Abyss: maybe he could be from the future and by showing it too us he is changing it?
Kaz: to remove the mutants for long enough to figure out a way to get rid of them or to just gain control of certain things *shrug* who knows
Abyss: money power control all the cookies?
Abyss: which could lead into the next plot.
Iris/Twins/Neena: Oooo..... that's a good idea. But what would he be after?
Katrina: I was too, when I wrote "he"
Kaz: a 2fold plot!
Kaz: *claps at abyss* i was thinking the same thing
Abyss: or she.
Abyss: I think that it very well could be that he is distracting us all while he manipulates the actuall world.
Kaz: whatever that would be
Kaz: kat, it's sort of the same concept apacalypse was using when he kidnaped the most powerful psychics and mutants of the world. to force the world how he saw fit
Abyss: right I think that the purpose of manipulating Deja is the dreamstate. he can control massive amounts of minds but not in the dream state.
Katrina: Maybe he has made it so mutants rule over humans, or he's made it so that all humans have somehow turned into mutants?
Iris/Twins/Neena: Um... maybe he can only achieve the control through Deja or a pyscic?
Katrina: If he wants the world a certain way, what is the key difference between this world and the other one?
Abyss: control of the world.
Iris/Twins/Neena: Think Matrix. A controller that wants the world the way he thinks it should be.
Katrina: For this plot, if there is some sort of villain that pulled us all into the future, what are his motivves for doing so? That's what I can't figure out.
where would the power limit be set?
