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. 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.

Actually, I cannot win again for three months, though I am flattered and honored by your comments, n00b. However, I would like to nominate Zephyr myself, since I believe he deserves to win. So there!

There are a number of people that I want to nominate for MOTM for several reasons, and I'm overly happy to see Zephyr's name above this post.
The Mutant I nominate this month is Slade. That's right. The WereCar that hit the WereCat. You know I get the biggest kick out of that. Slade has been here on MRO for a while. He has well thought out posts and doesn't mind me poking car jokes at him all of the time. He's worked hard on his power development, as well.
*puts on a shiny pin.* Slade for Mutant of the month.

I would like to second the nomination for Calley (/Historian). Consider when you are voting, all of the work she has done recently to organize the Future Plot. This plot has been in the making for an entire year, and I have been able to see first hand all the hard work she has put into the planning and execution of the Future. Hopefully you are all enjoying it so far.
And I would like to reemphasize her amazing writing ability, already mentioned by Iron Mouth. Calley has been contributing her consistently fabulous writing to the site for well over a year and has remained active the whole time, adding to the vitality of the site with her humor, friendliness, and helpfulness.
