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.

Character
Personality: Syn is a manipulator whether she uses her power or just through the way she talks to others. She enjoys getting her way or having others do it for her. Her greatest joy is twisting those who are good into doing bad things.
Hobbies/ Interests: Job or part time job and description: She was the former CEO of King Pharmaceuticals.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Outwardly Syn doesn't show any fear as she believes herself to be very powerful and capable. However, she does not like the idea of being under human laws and control. This has lead her to be rather ruthless towards humans both as an individual as well as when she was in charge of The Order.
Special talents: Being a former cheerleader Syn is very athletic and flexible. She's also rather skilled at speaking to others to get reactions from them.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: She's a very bad girl.
Mutations
Mutation description: Syn has the ability to produce powerful pheromones that affect humans and mutants alike on a physiological level. This helps when she wants to persuade others in one way or another and words just aren't enough. The pheromones make others much more suggestible to Syn. Currently Syn is able to fill an apartment sized building with pheromones. Once a person is affected they will follow whatever command is given from Syn. They will simply feel like they really want to help this “sweet” girl however possible. If the affected are given a simple command such as “stop anyone from getting close to me” then they will do what they can to keep anyone from getting close to Syn. If a more complex command is given after more concentrated exposure time then the affected will carry out the command exactly.
Strengths: Using this power allows Syn to help force her will on others to make them do what she wants, or even to change their minds about something even if only for a temporary time. The pheromones are invisible so those around her would never know when she’s using them. Once the pheromones are in the targets system Syn is able to give verbal commands which the target would carry out as if they had thought it themselves. The longer or more concentrated exposure received the more complex commands Syn can issue forth. She is immune to her own power.
Weaknesses: The biggest challenges to this power would be those with mental powers, those who don’t breath or those who can filter air. Those with mental powers or strong wills have a greater chance of resisting Syn’s influence. Wind will reduce the effectiveness depending how strong it’s blowing. If Syn uses a large amount of her pheromones then she can’t do it again for a few hours while her body makes more.

Explanation: Street fighting if you can call it that. She will use whatever means she can to win.

History Of Your Character:
Syn was a high school cheerleader. She used to get perfect grades and guys would offer her gifts of all kinds. This was of course because of her pheromone ability. However, even though she got all this attention Syn felt she didn't have enough attention of her parents. This was mainly because of her older siblings Abyss and Deathstar. Though Abyss was sent away by their parents it seemed as if Deathstar was getting all the good attention from their parents. This did not make Syn happy at all.
So with some careful planning Syn was able to convince Deathstar that their parents needed to die before they could discover their mutant abilities and turn the sisters in. Using an immense amount of her pheromones Syn convinced Deathstar to kill their parents. This made Syn extremely happy. When the affect of the pheromones wore off Deathstar realized what had happened and attacked Syn. The two of them fought throughout the house until Syn was able to escape into the night.
About a year later a man named Dorian King built and opened a place called Sanctuary in NYC. It was a place open to mutants as a place to stay and live safely. Unknown to the world Mr. King also recruited mutants from within Sanctuary to become part of his own personal force. The group would eventually be named The Order and with Dorian's disappearance Syn became leader.
The Order pressed it's will and forced it's way into the world view. It would be a strong group with the idea of mutant supremacy at its core. This naturally led to conflicts with the X-Men as well as humans. It was possible that the way The Order operated helped the humans to enact the Registration Law. This was a terrible time for mutants as many were captured and placed in camps much like prison camps of World War II. Syn managed to be saved from this and became part of the Resistance which eventually busted out the captured mutants, and helped overturn the Registration Law.
When things were getting back to normal Syn still harbored hatred towards the humans. This began her quest to make King Pharmaceuticals a place to create a serum that would amplify mutant powers to unheard of levels. In a sense it would make a mutant more of a living weapon than ever before. Once again a battle with the X-Men ensued and during the fight Syn was turned on by one she had trusted. During the final moments of the battle Syn was taken in an ambulance, but she would never reach any hospital. She would be lost from the world for several years as she was beaten and tortured beyond imaginable means. Until one day...she escaped and has now decided to return to her home in Sanctuary.
