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's real name: David Draft
Codename/Alias: People call him Dave, His pen name is Script, Friends call him Draft
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Nationality/Ethnicity: Italian-Irish-American
Birthplace: Springfield, Ma
Personality: Script was more of your "everyone gets along with kind of guys" his personality bounced off of the average person, this all changed the day he arrived into New York City.
Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, etc.): Script is a writer for many independent films and short lived television series. He has yet to make it big in the business. He often feels like the last man on the totem pole.
Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): David's finding that the longer he is in New York, the more evil his heart becomes.
Everyday clothing: You'll find David in nothing but the finest suits. At the least, hes always wearing a button up and slacks.
Uniform (Optional. Required if eventually becoming part of the X-Men): We'll cross that bridge if it comes.
Pajamas: David sleeps in a pair of comfy plaid pants and a wife beater.
Hair color and style: Dark Brown- not long but not real short, messy look.
Eye color: Brown
Height: 5'10"
Build: Average build, not skinny but not really big. The athletic type.
Scars: Hidden if any.
Tattoos: None at the moment.
Piercings: None ever.
Description of ability(ies): Script uses the ability of telekinesis in a different fashion, rendering himself or what ever he's focusing on, invisible. He can also focus it by creating a "shield" or "force field" around himself or what ever he wants. His ability to create shields means he can deflect many projectiles, protecting himself or others harm. David can also project his mind in an offensive manner as well, rolling his thoughts into a sphere type energy, and "throwing" it an an opponent. He also has been known to move objects with his mind, although hes not sure how its exactly done. He believes it might have something to do with building an invisible barrier around an object and feeding it energy to move.
Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): One of David's biggest weaknesses is the fact that hes not exactly sure the extent of his abilities. Although he may know how to control what he does know, he is afraid he might go too far one day and not know how to stop. Another con to his ability is, well, pretty much stupidity. Once Script turns an object invisible, he must remember where he left it, the object will remain invisible until he remembers to turn it back. He has lost many important things this way.
Fighting style (if any): No experience, just what was learned from watching movies.
History of your character: David Draft was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. He discovered his powers when he was 16 by accident when he was in the bedroom of a female, he shouldn't have been in. Her father's foot steps we're heard getting closer to the door. David got so nervous he froze up and turned invisible. Needless to say the girl he was with fainted in bed, thus making her father think she was sleeping...and alone.
Unaware he could turn other objects invisible, he accidentally turned his best friend Chris invisible. Not knowing how to change him back, he told Chris' parents that he ran away. A year later Chris finally did run away, leaving David with such guilt and sorrow. David never saw Chris again, and has been searching for him ever sense. David; now known as Draft to his friends and Script by his writing audience, writes screenplays for small budget studios. In so many words, he writes a few pages for film major students. His job is not glamorous, nor does it pay well but he strives to do his best. One day hoping he will write his "titanic" someday. As to date, he just finished a 120 page independent story about a modern revolution, and ironically has to travel to NYC to deliver it.
The day David arrived in New York, his car, laptop, cell phone and screenplay was stolen, he almost got arrested by one of those stalker bots, and he was punched several times and tossed out of a store. Hes got no love for New York, and has decided that its survival of the fittest, do or die.
