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.
Yeah, I'm inclined to agree on keeping them separate. While the shadow of the Order looming over it seems good for story as the X-Men or Ragnarok question it, I think if the Order comes back having it find its basis somewhere else might be good. Sanctuary as a neutral location seems important/good for game.
Of course, one day I will want to grow out some plans I have with Devon but they aren't quite in line with the Order. Maybe there's some overlap / interest there but we'll see how that goes. The Order seems very much the Hellfire Club to me so maybe it needs an actual Club on the upper east side, eh?
Darkshift has been a part of the Order for a few months now under Aura. With Aura not really around any longer, she's been receiving a stipend of money every month without actually doing much for it. She's taken up the cause of helping mutants to heart, however, and would want to be involved in anything to do with helping out Sanctuary and with the revival of the Order. I'll see about jumping into your open thread.
Edit; Actually, its looking like I probably shouldn't hop in there as I've hopped into Raechel's thread. Would you be interested in a thread between Tempest and Darkshift?
Thanks Darkshift. We could do a different thread if you want. There's 2 in that one already and having a different thread to focus on the two discussing Darkshift's involvement in Sanctuary would be good!
Would you mind starting? Up to you how you want to do it. Could be looking for Tempest specifically hearing some guy's been around and pretty involved lately. I'm not sure if Darkshift stays at Sanctuary so it could also just be Darkshift hanging around and Devon approaches. Whatever fits best but I'm glad we can do a focus on it being to help Darkshift and/or mutants in general. Feel free to bring up the Order if Darkshift would, though Devon won't know about it.
Sounds good. I think I'll go with the first option of hearing through the grapevine about Tempest. She doesn't stay at Sanctuary herself but she does spend some time there. Tempest may even have heard about her bringing in street mutants to stay there and if he has present ties with the Order she's probably heard her name in passing there as well. I'm off to work at the moment but I'll try to get something up later tonight.
I've decided Sanctuary's Lisa Wilson is the Varys/The Spider character of our game. She does what's best for Sanctuary and those in it, which is why she's adapted and eagerly helping Tempest.
