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.
The leader NPC could be controlled by anyone when necessary, I'd think. Ambrose just volunteered to get the initial profile together.
*Panu is defend whole mutant family against its own poor choices* *starts by deleting list of authorized X-deputies from all the METAbots, so that X-Men can experience the treatment of their brothers and sisters firsthand*
I'm happy to help with such if anyone wants someone else to control the NPC when they're active in a thread. We can switch off if we're concerned about Conflicts of Interest or anything.
Let me try to clarify a few things here Yes, Ragnarok is actually running the government of Utopia, but behind the scenes through political figureheads and some of their own ranks in government positions. It isn't just Ambrose puppeteering the NPC, it would be all of Ragnarok. The only significance with Ambrose speciifically rather than the whole of Ragnarok is that he is the one who steps out to suggest Utopia in the first place and puts the plan in motion. A person who is telling the puppet what to do IC wouldn't really be telling them much anyway, as the only major decisions of his that we will touch on (the rest are just minor things that we will assume happened that were iffy decisions towards world peace, but won't define) are already outline in the timeline (unless someone would like to volunteer as the correspondent between Ragnarok and the NPC and run a bunch of solo threads). I hope that helps. Let me know if there's anything else still confusing anyone!
Also, Ragnarok is technically not run by Ambrose, but instead the figure Loki (who technically doesn't exist, but still). I believe that only a few of the high-ranking Ragnarok figures know that Loki isn't real, and they all team up when it comes to being Loki in order to make the public believe that he does exist. In that case, multiple people would technically be masterminding Utopia's government, and at least some of them are NPCs. So I don't think it'd be all of Ragnarok puppeteering the NPC politician - at some point, Ragnarok apparently grew really, really large and Illuminati-like, so that'd be confusing for him to get orders from so many different people - but instead the collective mass of people who act as Loki, and whom Ambrose Jaager is only one of. (Members of that collective include Panu, who OOC and IC stepped in as leader of Ragnarok when I was away, and the NPCs Madeline Brass and Cail Rendfur.) So the puppet would believe that he's getting direct orders from Loki, but would instead be getting orders from any one of the group under the guise of Loki. I think my role is to just post a solo thread for Ambrose's proposal of Utopia, where he announces his intentions to fund it and all, and then everything else doesn't need to directly involve Ambrose himself. The JW stuff can probably be pushed off onto one of the JW NPCs. actually - probably Cail Rendfur, who will be "promoted" to Head of Utopia Arrangements or something and will thus serve as the anyone-can-control face of JW's involvement from that point on.
^Yes to all of this clarification. Would you mind posting a profile for Cail Rendfur in a reply to the launch thread? Perhaps? Unless you think it not necessary or have a better idea for where it should go
I'm going to start a Sanctuary thread about those catching the news of the initial event, moment of for anyone who wants to be there when that happens. I'll link to it once done.
