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: Lorenzo Renald Codename/Alias: Animas
Gender: Male Age: 22
Nationality/Ethnicity: White
Birthplace: Joliet, Illinois.
Personality: Not even remotely friendly, indiscriminate toward people. Has no problem being cruel and evil to them. Equally. Other mutants intrigue him and he is interested in learning about the different facets of their powers and lives. It is in his nature to observe others and his powers are somewhat linked to this.
Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, etc.): He's a fan of literature. Its an odd fascination of his, linked to his intense interest in people. He enjoys learning how authors portray each person differently. Not a fan of water.
Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): Bad
Everyday clothing: He usually wears darker colors, browns to blacks. Jeans. That's his style. Evey now and then he'll break out a black suit with a red neck tie.
Uniform (Optional. Required if eventually becoming part of the X-Men): I'm not going to put one for now. Pajamas: Boxers with hearts on them. He doesn't have time for pajamas.
Hair color and style: Black Eye color: Blue Height: 6' 4" Build: Muscular
Scars: None Tattoos: Fleur De Li's, inside of left wrist. Mark of death from the French Revolution. Piercings: None
Description of ability(ies): Causes pain through the victim's mind. He is also abnormally intelligent (not omnipotent by any means) but he is smarter than average (based on evolution of the brain).
Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): Little power over psychics, if any. Drains him to prolong these efforts. Unable to severely effect multiple targets (for now, hopefully). The use of his ability is obvious, making it hard for him to ever work covertly.
Fighting style (if any): Disables victim with pain and proceeds to use physical means to finish them off.
History of your character: Lorenzo is an interesting case. He is a mutant who is fascinated by all types of people. Fascination, however, does not necessarily mean that he likes non-mutants. He has a curious distaste for their closed-minded opinions and their tendency toward violence concerning those who are not like them.
For his teenage years, he acted as a petty thief and preyed upon people who were careless enough to make stupid mistakes. This amassed him a small amount of funds on which he was able to survive for a while. When he reached adulthood, Lorenzo proceeded to invest some money on the Stock Exchange and was able to procure a decent basis for the life that he chooses to lead. He is not filthy rich, but he has enough to get by.
Lorenzo discovered his pain powers at puberty, when a shopkeeper attempted to stop him from stealing food. The man soon found himself in intense and unrelenting pain on the ground behind his stall, unable to move or even to fight back. Lorenzo did not relent and pursued this attack until the man was on the brink of insanity. This caused a rather sadistic sense of justice within Lorenzo. After this assault, however, Lorenzo was left rather weak and he was found passed out a few streets over. He was taken to a hospital and when he awoke, he was immensely entertained by the possibilities he was left with.
Sample RP:
Lorenzo walked down the cold and somewhat deserted streets of New York, if they could ever be found to be deserted. The air had a crisp quality to it, which did not deter him from wearing a black suit with a red neck tie. It was a favorite look of his over the many years that he had inhabited the Earth and he enjoyed the looks of fear that it derived from the pitiful human race. Fear was a lovely sentiment. It was the only true feeling that humans deserved. A race pitiful enough that it constantly discovered new ways of ostracizing and harming people that were different truly deserved no better.
As he rounded a corner, a voice sounded from the darkness. "Empty the pockets or I'll kill you!" it shouted. This would be good. Lorenzo raised his leather gloved hands and said "Please, don't be rash" with a malicious glint in his eye. Then, with decent mental exertion, Lorenzo's eyes began to change tint. His skin seemed to tighten over the form of his body and his muscles began to throb. His eyes began to turn an acidic yellow color and the grin became a grimace concealing great exertion.
The attacker found himself on the ground, screaming as though he was being held over a bed of hot coals while being stretched on a rack. A feral grin spread across Lorenzo's face. With a little more exertion, the man was reduced to a babbling fool. When the pain subsided, the man would be in no condition to continue any sort of a 'normal' life for a few years to come.. Lorenzo bent low next to the man. He inhaled deeply, as though testing the man's scent. "Your life is not even worth taking." he said coldly as he turned and walked off into the night
Good powers. And I also like the personality. My character is beggining to walk the path of evil and has no problems in hurting people, especially humans Welcome to MRO, Animas!
Animus, you've created a most intreguing character. I think I'll definately be keeping an eye on you, perhaps send one or two of my people your way to say hello.
