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.

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.
I did this before in a previous life as "Sundance Signatures & Graphics" but since I'm using a different account and all the images on the other were hosted by Photobucket (may it rest in pieces), I'm revamping.
I get bored easy and I have access to Photoshop. I'm taking requests for signatures, cover images, and avatars. Other things too, I guess, but I reckon that'd be a case by case basis.
I'll use the default sizes for graphics, but if you want things done in different dimensions, let me know.
If you want something, here's a handy-dandy template you can use to let me know what ya want.
Character Name:(Which character is it for? You may get strange results if I guess.) Play-by:(This way I know who to find images of.) Type of Graphic: (Sig? Avi? Cover? Both? Two? All? Neither? Other?)
Desired Text:(Is there a quote you like? Do you want your character's name? Or just part of it? Whatever you want )
Additional Details:(Anything else in particular that you want me to include in the graphics? A theme, a vibe, a particular photo, a specific font, or something else?)
If I end up doing something that isn't quite what you envisioned, needs tweaking, or should be burned with fire, just tell me and I'll change it. I don't take offense that easily And if you want multiples, or a different one every day, that's fine too! I honestly like it when people tell me about even little tiny things that aren't quite right (or just downright bad-looking) - it's helps me get better.
YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO USE ANYTHING. Even if you ask for it
You can post requests here, PM me on-site at Zek , catch me on the Discord server and/or DM there at Zek, or send me handwritten notes attached to the legs of homing pigeons - they'll know where to find me.
Here's a preview gallery of some of my work, old and new on this site. Some of the sizes no longer adhere to modern standards.
Character Name:Megan~ Play-by:Ksenia Solo Type of Graphic: Signature, pleeease!
Desired Text: No quote necessary, but if anything strikes your fancy i'm down with it~!
Additional Details: Spiders, Cutesy goth vibes, Lace, webs, whatever the heck you want. I will literally plaster anything you make up in my signature spot. O___O
I'm not sure what I want, but these are awesome and I want in!
Character Name: Ranger Play-by: Scott Eastwood Type of Graphic: Sig for sure! Maybe cover photo if you have a good idea Desired Text: Uhhhhh, I don't have anything specific in mind. Additional Details: Texas, military, Texas, guns, Texas, lifting heavy things (like measured in tons, heavy), cowboy stuff, fighting, and did I mention Texas?
Character Name: Rhia Play-by: Mattie Rogers Type of Graphic: Sig! What I said above still holds here. Desired Text: If you think of something good, have at it! Additional Details: Weight lifting, cowgirl, swappy-ness. Stuff like that. You know Rhia!
The font for the name took me forever to figure out and I'm not totally sure I picked the best on in the end. If that or something else doesn't thrill you, let me know.
Rhia really kicked my butt on this one. I think I may have tried for too many ideas with this and need to kill some darlings, but I don't know which ones to kill. And I don't think some things are aligned just right but I can't figure out where. For this one, I actually specifically request you to point out things that might look better if done differently, or if things are taken away, added, moved around, or if it needs scrapped completely. I really won't take offense and even if I go through multiple drafts, I'd love to do that, if only so I can get better. That goes for anyone - if there's anything you ever see on something I make that looks weird (or if you're just curious what it would look like another way) just get a hold of me and let's see what we can do!
Character Name: Tahj Calloway Play-by: (This way I know who to find images of.) Type of Graphic: Sig Desired Text: Tahj's name or maybe something like "King of the Clouds Additional Details: Clouds, rain, something sciency, too. Go crazy lmao. I guess gray and gray-blue colors.
As with any of my stuff, feel free to hit me up for any change you want, big or small, or if you wanna see variations. It's not annoying - it's getting something done right
I got bored and had a surge of creative inspiration. Neither of these were asked for and they don't have to be used or anything. I was having fun and trying to do some new stuff (although I realize they're basically the same as my other stuff) If ya do wanna use these and want anything, however major or minor changed, that's all good too.
I've been hit with a burst of inspiration lately and wanted to rework an old sig I'd made for Raz' character Serena (I still had the photoshop file), but with her new faceclaim. And while I was there, I played around with it and tried to update it with what I've learned in the past 7 years.
Then I decided to try to convert the sig into a cover image, and this was the result.
And in case Raz wanted to use both, I changed out the faceclaim image in the sig.
Now, all of this inspired me further, to try converting some sigs I've done before into cover images to see how they turned out. I gotta say, cover images require a much different way of thinking than signatures lol.
Every single image in this post was unasked for and done for funsies and exploration. Although if anyone has suggestions on alterations that might improve them, has any feedback, or if anyone is curious about variations of these, let me know and I'd love to see what can be done!
I was trying some stuff with this one. I might've gotten carried away with Rebecca here XD.
This was one tricky because the original pic for CS didn't have more head to work with.
Spiders never look right. Megan always does, though.
I also made him Hercules graphics, including an alternate.
I tried getting a little experimental with the last Hercules cover.
This next one is one I'm currently using for Liz, due tot he thread she's currently in. Anger isn't her typical mood, but I think it's rather justified when she's around Carrick.
If you are able to do this I would appreciate it so much. The actor is older than the character so you may want to look for photos from 2000-2015. Can also use photos of him in various roles from his stage performances. Please let me know if you need more information from me. Thank you.
Character Name: Andrew Fletcher Play-by: Scott Wentworth Type of Graphic: Signature and avatar Desired Text: To be...or not...to be. Additional Details: He was a stage actor and loves it so theatre themed would be good.
I'm not sure if those pics are actually aligned with what you were thinking of or not, age-wise, but I took a shot. If they're not, or if they're not quite hitting right, let me know (or send over other pics lol). Also, basically anything can be changed, minor or major (or even scrapped entirely), so feel free to hit me up for any fixes or alterations!
I actually love these, I seriously do!! I do want to ask though: I fully intend on using the shots of him in sunglasses for another version of the character (younger), so if you are able to use a different shot for the avatar at least, I would appreciate it!
Thank you thank you!
My current avatar with him can also work if you can find a better resolution!
