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.

MRO's Gossip Girl

Welcome to the New Year, MRO!

We have had a wonderful decade of ups and downs, but it's exciting to be going into the Roaring Twenties strong with all of you.

With a new year, we thought it was time for some new rules to help MRO continue to evolve as a place for all of you to fill with your creativity and amazing characters. These New Year's Rules center around multiple characters, applications, and mutations.

Character earning! For over a decade, MRO has had high requirements for earning new characters. This has led to some great posting and high ambitions, but it is also not the most modern or newbie friendly method of earning new characters.

Rather than needing 150 posts on all characters for each new character, you can activate a new character slot every two weeks. This can be done up to a max of 7 characters.

Please bear in mind, the mods do want to see activity from your active characters before you jump into a new one, so if there has been almost no activity in the two weeks since your last new character, the mods may ask you to keep things up with the current group you have before starting your new friend.

Applications. We have always handled applications via email, but starting in 2020, Applications will be posted on the forum where they will be reviewed and approved. We have created a new sub-forum for submissions, "Character Applications," and when they are approved, they will be moved to join the rest of the live applications.

Taken Mutations. With looser character restrictions, we want to let people feel more free to play with the powers they want, and we want to avoid power hoarding with an influx of new characters. Taken Mutation vetoes will be more limited to powers that function essentially the same. If a power is relatively generic or two powers have similar elements but function differently or have unique aspects, a veto will not be required.

Finally, as a (pretty obvious) bit of New Year's house cleaning, Sennyo and I are hopping back into modship to help the staff keep this ship running smoothly going into the new decade.

We love MRO and want to see where it grows next in the new decade! Thank y'all for being part of this with us.

Warmest Regards,

Your Friendly Neighborhood Mod Team

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.
