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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Ongoing Plots
Magic and Mystics
After the events of the 2020 Harvest Moon and the following Winter Solstice, magic has started manifesting in the MROvere! With the efforts of the Welldrinker Cult, people are being converted into Mystics, a species of people genetically disposed to be great conduits for magical energy.
The Welldrinker Cult
A shadowy group is gaining power, drawing in people who are curious, vulnerable, or malicious, and turning them into Mystics. They are recruiting people into their ranks to spread the influence of magic in the world, but for what end goal?
Are They Coming for You?
There have been whispers on the streets lately of a boogeyman... mutant and humans, young and old, all have been targets of trafficking.
Adapteds
What if the human race began to adapt to the mutant threat? What if the human race changed ever so subtly... without the x-gene.
Atlanteans
The lost city of Atlantis has been found! Refugees from this undersea mutant dystopia have started to filter in to New York as citizens and businessfolk. You may make one as a player character of run into one on the street.
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.
I'd like to run a miniplot through the Haven Time To Build metaplot involving a forest fire and rescue.
PLOT
A forest fire rages out of control in the west / midwest, threatening large areas, farms, animals, and some civilians. This news breaks while Devon is at a public event. He takes the initiative to call for help while he's on camera. Haven and Devon then publicly pull together an emergency team and set out to assist!
SETTING
Location of Fire to be fought: Redding, California (primarily Shasta Trinity National Forest)
A series of threads (depending on involvement) related to containing/stopping the fire, rescuing individuals, and maybe a tense combat situation should there be interest! The cause could be natural, could be an accident, or maybe it's something more nefarious!
HOW THIS AFFECTS MRO
Haven publicly gets involved in an environmental disaster! This isn't a faction act, but more the public face of Haven trying to pull together mutants to use their abilities to help in a dire need. Perhaps the X-Men are also spear heading this and ask for Haven's help and/or warn against involvement? Perhaps Haven is merely acting on their own!
Flex your creative muscle for how your character can help! Time for some good public mutant PR!
ACTION ITEMS
1. Post here if you're interested, with what character, and how you'd like to help by 7/23! 2. By 7/25 I'll post up teams and assign a goal for your thread! I'll act as Narrator/NPC-handler if you want/ask/need it!

Character: Tetsuya Shinbo- Shard How he can help. With flight, he can swoop in and rescue individuals. He could fight the fire if needed, or be involved in combat, but I believe rescue operations are where he’d truly shine.

I'm interested!
Luke Benson: Being strong and resilient, there's a few things he could do, most likely including clearing of obstacles or just carrying victims to safety if need be. Would also be able to use his senses to better locate people, particularly hearing.
Ranger would be perfect for this. Able to provide a mobile command center by way of the "Fordasaurus" and his power would be super useful. Able to lift a loot, move fast, and for brief periods literally walk through fire.
Also plots like this are good for helping get back in the groove of posting.

Thanks all for joining!
TEAM ALPHA Ranger & Luke Benson : Central ground command, volunteer coordination, helping the injured/volunteering, and primarily clearing areas of debris or to prevent further fire spreading! I'd like Ranger to be in control of ground command and helping to keep an eye on the volunteer Luke Benson , who is a minor.Luke Benson would have been warned, one misstep and they'll have to pull him back but they are thankful for his help/strength My thread suggestion: A lot you can do here! Ranger can be mentoring of sorts, helping guide Luke Benson helping rescued people coming into camp but then deployed to area that needs to be cleared quickly to get vehicles in, people out, and hopefully make a firebreak so the fire won't spread there! I'm hoping @leesmith will cross post as she coordinates with all groups.
TEAM BRAVO Tetsuya Shinbo & @leesmith : Shard, the arial rescuer is also the perfect surveyor of problems, reporting in to @leesmith . @leesmith is coordinating between all the groups and checking in with Ranger . My thread suggestion: Different people stuck on high ground, in a river, and in a tree might be good for this thread. I'd also like to see @leesmith cross post into the other threads here and there to get information from comms and report to other teams!
TEAM GAMMA Mirror Grey-Morris & Skye Sinclaire : Another rescue team! I'm thinking a real concern is reported, so the Xers present volunteering are tapped for the job! My thread suggestion: Apparently some people (a couple? family?) ran into a cave to escape the fire, but now smoke is threatening them, let alone finding a way out not blocked by fire!
TEAM OMEGA Tempest & Svetlana Sergeyeva : fighting the fire and maybe a rescue should they wish to include in their thread! My thread suggestion: Tempest and Muse talking recent events while Tempest struggles to control the weather to put down the flame. The two soon find themselves in a dire firefight to rescue someone, putting their talents to the max to help.
These are only suggestions but I think they can get us off to a great start! Make sure to use [TtB] in the subject of your new thread and post a link to it here!
If you want any NPC involvement, I'm happy to help do so for you!
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're enjoying your thread planning! I'll be posting a kick off SOLO tonight to get things started, set the stage, etc. Let me know if you have any requests for NPC help or you want some help! Thanks!
