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.

So, What, you're like, not an #@$hole anymore?(Meg)
"Maybe so, but only in this city. This place is so packed full of... of... bad juju or something! My first memory waking up here was getting punched in the face! What a warm welcome!"
Was she still bitter about some idiot nearly ruining her perfect nose? .... maybe. It hadn't felt good at the very least.
She slapped her palms down on the counter grumpily, which probably came across as less intimidating and more cute given her current age. "I was 32! The average lifespan for a woman in my time was 80 years. I was an old bat already when some jerk decided to use me as a guinea pig!" Her cheeks puffed out in irritation, she crossed her arms over her chest and full on pouted. One thing she certainly was a but jealous over was that fact that her older self seemed to have the intimidation factor down quite a bit.
And then he dropped the bomb on her.
She blinked, once and then twice, mouth clamped shut as she processed what he had said.
She had been emotional a bit before, but who wouldn't? But now... finding would she couldn't even have children.
She steeled herself like she was about to walk the plank or something equally as grim, and sniffed quietly.
"Guess adoption is in my future, then. What's next... that I have cannibalistic tenancies too?" He stared at her, so she pointed a finger at him and rose a little in her seat. "Don't you even dare!"
It took all of the bravado she could muster to hold the emotions back, but damn it she wasn't going to try in front of a stranger even if he knew her older self. She'd just bury the feelings for now and process them later when she was alone, and no one would care if she threw things at the wall or screamed into her pillow for a while.
"I get that we apparently had something special going on with this whole 'hunting down and stopping a criminal organization' thing, but... I'm led to believe that I was a terribly private person from the accounts of others. Why would I tell you such a thing... even if I expected to die, why on earth were you so special, when I apparently wouldn't even talk to my best friend about any other this?"
The Mirror walker certainly hadn't mentioned any of this to her, after all. "Also, you were quick to point out how I was involved in all of this, but neglected to mention how you were involved in all of this, considering it was off the books and not something the X's were involved in."

"I mean, I woke up to a ten year old calling me a Pedo when I was made young." He shrugged. "It didn't help that she was my adopted daughter who is still missing." The X-Man suddenly seemed much older for a second as he let out a long sigh, and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm almost forty, kid." Was he... offended that she was calling her old self an old bat? Why? Why did that make him a little angry? He shook it off. "You had plenty of life ahead of you, and honestly, you'd just taken care of the last of the big things holding you down last I saw you." Then she'd disappered. Where she'd went after that he had no idea.
She took finding out she couldn't have kids well. When she'd joked about cannibalism he gave her the exact awkward monkey face. Yuuuup. there it was.
Then she got on his case again, and he rolled his eyes, turning around and placing his hands on the counter. Jr. was out. He would have to lay him down.
"I dunno. I didn't figure I was anything special to you. You sorta lost contact with everyone but me, I guess. It became your life, ruining his." He looked back to her as she drilled in deeper. "Well, I'm gonna ask that you don't talk about that to anyone. It was the right thing to do. It wasn't legal. That's that."
He stood up away from the counter, and looked over at the clock. "Done eating? I gotta lay Jr. down id you still want to talk." He then headed out toward his room.
Oh... he had a missing daughter? That was... concerning?
The teen blinked at him as he moved on from that. She'd just circle back around to it later.
Megan huffed as he told her that it was a secret and needed to be kept that way, in fewer words. "Fine... but don't think I'm done badgering you for information. This is the most I have been able to find out about myself so far, even-" She thought back to the meat she had suffered down only a few minutes earlier. "-even if not everything has been pleasant, I still appreciate it."
He pointed out that the baby was asleep and she nodded at following him. She did still have a few questions to throw at him after all. The spider mutants hopped down from her chair and smoothed the skirt of her dress out as she tagged along behind him.
"If we worked together, would you happen to know a bit about my powers? I know that I can produce silk and spiders, and occasionally my vision does a funny thing where I swear I'm seeing things from places I really should not be able to. I've been working with a few of the other teachers on trying to get a grasp on it.... but, it's eluded me so far."
It was also seriously getting on her nerves by that point, too. She'd walked into more than one wall and a door, in front of a very cute boy on top of it all, just because of her viewpoint randomly switching on her without warning.
... And the headaches.... Ugh.
"Also, why is your daughter missing still? Do you need help looking for her, seeing as you have the little one with you?" Was there a mother in the picture, or just him? The fact that he had the baby while on the job kinda led her to think maybe he was on his own.
