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.

“We are the Lovecraft sisters. The end of human’s world is upon us. The rift in space and time herald’s the arrival of our master. The gospels of Lovecraft are not mere fiction, but reality, a dark universe waiting to be released. On this Hallows’ Eve, with the darkest night above and the doorways weakening, we spread the world and beckon to our master in his otherworldly tongue: Nog uh'eog ot n'ghft nilgh'rishuggogg! nafl'fhtagn! nafl'fhtagn! nafl'fhtagn ng ymg' ulnah mgepnah shugog!”
THE SETTING:
October 31st has been renowned as a day of the supernatural. A day where the thin membrane between worlds is at its weakest. Where the denizens of darker realms dwell and deal in the stuff of nightmares. Some say that on Halloween, these dark things are slipping through, finding their way into this world in order to bring havoc and insanity unto an unsuspecting world. And so humanity defends itself by being wary, by dressing in disguises, and waiting out this thinning between worlds until a new day dawns. This is year it will be unlike any other. For the danger does not come from the supernatural, but from the something very tangible and no less terrifying.
THE ANTAGONISTS:
Three mutant sisters known only as a the Lovecraft Sisters (check out their NPC profile) have made themselves known. The sisters have no individual names, they speak in universe, and all together have a fearful factor about them. Fitting considering their plans for Halloween. These three are powerful psionics who have the ability to increase the fear in any localized area. Add to that the fact that they have been twisted over the years by fanatic readings of the beloved H.P. Lovecraft, the sister’s truly believe that they are worshipping world-ending cosmic beings. It is this rabid believe that has sent them out into the world.
THE LOCATION:
Three areas of New York, “Nexus Points” the sisters refer to them ask. From their spots, the sisters create large bubbles in which they are causing general mayhem and insanity. From the center of these locales, the sisters are driving people as mad as possible in hopes of appeasing the cosmic horrors and ushering them safely into the world. The locations are as follows:
You need to stop the sisters. Innocent people are getting hurt. They are attacking one another, ripping each other to shreds, tearing into their fears that they believe have become reality. It is up to the citizens of the city, X-Men, Haven, SUPER, maybe even the Syndicate to step in and try and stop them. However it won’t be as easy as just running into these terrorspheres to stop them -- it never is that easy.
Thanks to Jorge Cervantes for taking the initiative to propose and run this event! We’ve hammered out the logistics between us and we’ll be laying out some some additional stipulations for joining these threads in order to keep this plot from running too long.
These threads are open to all, but please read the additional requirements for this plot.
DON’T SIGN UP IF YOU WON’T WRITE SCARED These threads will contain the potential for your character to be affected by a fear effect from the bad guys. A number will be assigned to your character and a die will be rolled by Jorge Cervantes and announced at each turn from the villainesses. In the spirit of good old halloween fun, please try to write your character affected as described. Don’t sign up if you aren’t willing to incorporate the random.
[/b][/font] On that same note, if the dice have not allowed you to post scared and you want to, you are allowed to fail your dice roll if you think that makes for a better story.[/ul]
[/b][/font] Lego help explain expected fear levels from no fear to full on anime.
Jorge Cervantes will be keeping track of your fear scale so be sure to check the NPC post to see if your fear track has officially progressed. If you elect to fail a roll, please indicate that with an OOC tag and/or by letting Jorge know. Jorge will be rolling 1 or 2 dice depending on how many thread participants have signed up. Your fear track will only ever progress making the end of these threads guaranteed for maximum spoopiness.[/ul]
3-6 CHARACTERS PER THREAD We would like to aim for a minimum of 3, but will allow a maximum of 6 characters in each thread. This means that there are, at most, 18 character slots. Please look at the locations provided and decide which one makes the most sense for your character.
Once you’ve decided you want to play, post in this thread with your character account tag (the @ name used for tagging) and indicate which location you want to play in. Threads and thread slots are first come, first serve.
ONE CHARACTER PER PLAYER Because character slots are limited per thread, please give others a chance to get in on the action by choosing one character from your portfolio to include in this plot.
PRIORITIZE THIS THREAD To ensure that this plot concludes before Easter of 2019, players will have at maximum 24 hours to take their turn and make their reply. If you fail to post within your 24 hour posting window, your turn will be skipped and it is up to you to make it back into rotation when it becomes your turn to post again.
If you know you will have a difficult time posting within that strict time limit, please refrain from joining this plot. As always, keep the lines of communication open between you and the other players in your thread. Anything agreed on mutually will supersede strict posting order.
