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.

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.
Haven organizes quite a treat in a massive charity fundraiser and volunteer thank you Masquerade party for Halloween! Costumes are required as are tickets! While the political and wealthy are encouraged to donate a sizable amount for their tickets, fixtures of the community and celebrated students/trainers/volunteers are awarded VIP tickets for free! Regular tickets are affordable enough that anyone should be able to participate. All are encouraged to come celebrate!
But uh oh, looks like someone wants to spoil the fun! Eight years ago Christanna Addams powers' burst forth during a Halloween celebration at Central Park making all take on the persona of their costume! They stopped the then 11 year old and the role she'd accepted in a psychotic rage: Nyx Goddess of the Night and Dreams. While she's grown tremendously, not nearly enough has changed for her liking and she's got more than a few tricks planned!
A series of threads (depending on involvement) at these location(s) to party/celebrate, enjoy having your character act like their costume, and for those who choose to: activity in stopping Christanna.
HOW THIS AFFECTS MRO
1. The event will be localized to those attending the party 2. Varied interaction by any individuals involved 3. A chance to flex some writing muscle with the varied persona due to the costume 4. Possible combat situations against crazed patrons or Christanna's forces 5. Short term impact of political discussions 6. Long term impact of addressing dangerous psionic mutants as well as the political impact
We will aim to wrap up all related threads by the middle of November!
ACTION ITEMS 1. Verify with Mods/Storyteller as I'm both creating a dangerous situation plot but also borrowing from existing from Jorge Cervantes original plot! 1a. Discussions started! 2. Want to participate? Sign up below!
You'll just have to buy a ticket for any character unless you think they'd get a free invite because they're very active in the community, big donator to liberal charities, help with educational initiatives, etc. etc. All can participate!
Luke will definitely attend, with some kind of costume (though does he really need one? :P) and will definitely be involved in dealing with Christanna, which will be the second time he's been present for costumes-gone real. I'm sure he'll be delighted!

I’m volunteering Lenna! SUPER is providing the alias and the ticket, as a way to infiltrate the Haven event and create networking opportunities for Lenna. She will be both in-costume, and in-character in character, in a disguise over a disguise. Because SUPER wants to mask her MRO self’s identity by providing a new one, and a new face. What a happy opportunity to masquerade as someone new and practice the role!
Lenna will happily fight Christianna or her forces, should the need arise.
I am thinking Princess Leia as a costume, right now. The senator will be an excellent diplomat in this dangerous situation, costume or no.
Just want to clarify that all are encouraged to participate! Assume an affordable price for the ticket so that anyone can come; all money goes to charity, etc. etc. However, you might want to be working as staff, sneak in from the water, etc. However you want to work it in!

After some consideration, I would like to toss Shin into this thread too. He will be going as Golden Lion knight GARO, with a giant gold spray painted foam sword.

I'm not really picky, but as an afterthought... what if Jack's role at the party was acting as a bodyguard for Devon? Would that be okay? In which case she'd be wherever he is. Otherwise i'm not picky.
I'll think about the rest.
