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.
My character was approved yesterday, I'm super happy to be able to get involved in RPing with y'all!
I've never RPed in a forum setting before so I'm looking for tips, suggestions, on how to get started. Or if anyone wants to start an RP up! My goal #1 is that I want Celeste to get enrolled in the school so she can finish up her schooling.
I was reading on the Idealists Guide to the X-Men that to join the school as a student, you just arrive at the mansion grounds or call ahead. I'm presuming this just means making a post in the Mansions ground on the forum? I feel like I'm ~overthinking~ some things, haha. >.< Sorry being such a newb.
I'd be happy to set up a thread with you! I have Juliette, who works at the mansion and could help Celestina find her way to getting enrolled. I also have Astrid Dubois, Natalie Ross, and Charlie Sinclair if you're looking to go a different route. PM me if you're interested in something!
And in terms of tips, the biggest one I can give you is popping into the cbox! It's the best way to get integrated into the site and get some plots rolling.
I'm happy to thread with ya as well. I've been a bit slow the past couple weeks but I will gradually be around more and more again. As I noted on your profile thread, Devon's a known mutant psychologist. He helps run a charitable organization, volunteers at a homeless shelter that accepts mutants, and has had some mention in news and online media. We could of course randomly run into each other in the city, NYU, central park, etc.
And if you become interested in Haven, well that's a whole other conversation but let's get you interacting with the people first. Everyone's awesome and sure to help get you into threads!
Let me brainstorm some ideas (which Booker might be a good bet since Celeste tends to spend a lot of time in libraries, right now at least haha) and I'll PM you once I think of a potentially good one.
I just threw up an open thread called Must have Fish - or Die. You're welcome to join my ditsy redhead on her quest for sushi or a fish sandwich. She hasn't figured out that she winds up craving things or having to do things because of her power and creations she's made.
Or if anyone wants to start an RP up! My goal #1 is that I want Celeste to get enrolled in the school so she can finish up her schooling.
