AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, ORIGINAL PLOT X-MEN RPG

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.

MRO's Gossip Girl

AUGUST 2018

Announcements

The convergence of Universe 1 and Universe A has officially ended. Now, only MRO remains. Players may finish their current rip-related threads, but no new threads may be created. Feel free to tell us how your characters will be saying Rest in Peace, RIP.

Again, the Weapon S SUPER pseudo-children will be staying on this side of the RIP!

The Annual MRO Survey is HERE. Responses are purely voluntary and any questions are skippable if you have reservations about sharing. Please note that aggregated answers will be shared all in good fun and never ever ever used to help us make the site better in any way. Nope. We don’t do that here.

The survey will be open for 1 month. Answer sorting and normalization will take about another month so you can expect to see some spoOoOoky data in October. Please be sure to take the survey ASAP to avoid missing out! ~<3

PLOT NEWS

As mentioned in the Announcements, the RIP is closing, so you can have your characters react to what happened and where they ended up, and your MRO side characters can deal with the loss of AV friends (or being stuck away from their home universe.)

For Havenites and anyone looking to be a friend of Smokey and the Forests, the first “Time to Build” miniplot has been launched by Tempest! Fires will be defended! Check it out! For more information on the Time to Build Plot, click here!

SUPER is now on the MRO side! Since a certain high cheekboned pretty boy decided to spout off some stuff, SUPER has started working on its image problem with a new public direction and an effort to tone down ~~or cover up~~ some of their more questionable former practices. You can learn more from a perturbed spokeswoman here and if you have a human, adapted, or mutant that might see the appeal in this new mission statement, let your friendly neighborhood SUPER Agents know!

If you have plot ideas, don’t keep them to yourself! If they’re small, then post them on the Plot Ideas board or PM a mod to help you iron out the details. If they’re large, send them to <mutantrevolver@gmail.com> for approval!

"Serendipity" crafted by Trinity Blair


The X-Men 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 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.	SUPER 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 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.
