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.

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.
All mutants good or bad, weak and strong, are pulled into an alternate dimension, switching bodies with the their alternate dimensional selves, are found in a world where a mutant zombie disease has taken over many. Now all must join forces, the Kabal, the order, the x-men, other mutants, and even humans to hold the zombie invasion off, until scientists come up with a cure. This is the only way for everyone to return 2 ther own realm.
This might be an idea that can be fleshed out to work but I would suggest you follow a different train of thought than the Stalkers. What other kind of threats would make the mutants band together and perhapse even have to band together with humans? What might make humans and mutants work together?
If you want any help working on ideas feel free to PM me. I'm available as a sounding board if you need one.

I love the zombie outbreak idea I think that if it was really worked on it might be something good like a random strain infects one person or an npc zombie or a spirit or voodoo women you get the drift then that one person is driven to infect others like that movie 28 weeks later the only real problem I guess would be long term damages I.E death, lost limbs, ripped flesh and we already used the dream excuse for something so maybe like theirs a cure created to fix it or a mutant with the power to restore those that are afflicted what do you guys think?

How about some X-Gene that has been planted in the North/South Pole and is quickly getting stronger, bringing with him Snowstorms, blizzards... from the Poles. Soon, it'll cover the entire earth, the sun not even able to heat anything anymore. An Ice Age will have begun, but we would stop the X-Gene from getting too far south... That's an idea?
The problem you would run into with the zombie idea would deffinately be the long term affects. Anyone that's seen a zombie movied knows that there would be no way to get rid of them completely which would mean that after that plot we would still have zombies popping up on occasions. That would deffinately take full comments from both players and the other MODs to get approved.
The possibility of a rogue mutant that is so powerful that all the other muants have to work together to stop it is an intriguing possibility but it would take some more discussion also. Obviously it would be neat to see all of the groups working together and I can already picture Syn or Hunter trying to figure out how they cna recruit the rogue without actually destroying it, but I digress.
Keep the conversation going and see what comes of it. Work on details and explanations that fit. As I said before, if anyone needs a sounding board just send me a PM. I'm around.

Um.. I have an idea. I like the "mutant zombie" idea, but what if we make it so it's more like a demon incursion? Like instead of zombies a portal from the underworld can open up. Making it so that the mutants having the only ability (the X-gene) to seal up the portals? And so that would give them excuses to travel the world and seal up the portals, while fighting off the demons who possess people?
OR, we can always go the *gods attack the human world and try to bring them down to their knees *aka: Greek gods/ Norse gods, etc* And the mutants have to find a way to either stop or destroy the god's or even join up with them to gain more power? Either one idea is open to the fact that the demons or gods CAN be sent back to where they came from with little worry after the big battle and stuff... Sorry just messing with ideas on the top of my head >.< feel free to add anything if you like my ideas. =3 If not- then ignore me >.<
I can't say I'd be too thrilled with the idea of gods, demons, or zombies popping up in our humble X-Men RP...
The zombies thing is also something we've already been planning on doing in the "Power in the Wrong Hands" plot, though with an explanation based on the X-gene.
Luna's got a good idea going ther, I myself was thinking of maybe some kind of emp sorta thing, that we would have to set up in a high tower, and it would travel around the city, and would turn everyone back 2 normal, but the catch would be that it would be completely guarded by zombies. And when I talk about zombies, Im not talking about the slow ones that move around and do notin. Im talking about the kind that still have fighting skill, ther fast, and strong, sorta like the game marvel nemisis rise of the imperfects. I was pretty much thinking that humans, would turn into random fast moving, demon like zombies. Then for us mutants, anyone who got infected would look sorta half zombie half human, and would still have ther same powers, but they would be evil and would have to attack unaffected mutants and humans.

Well i have a few concerns, and please don't take this as squashing so much as fleshing out- especially since you're a rather new members.
Our previous plots have included the haywire virus which basically overpowers a mutant and they lose control and everyone has to try and stop them, and then the camps did a good job of sticking everyone on the same team in regards to survival and had lots of death and bad drugs being given to mutants etc.
So I have a concern about bringing up the stalkers again, or using themes that we've made a main focus of the site for months to a year before. They can totally be ellements of a plot... but a lot of our members have been here long enough to experieince at least one of those plots. So for me personally I feel that redundent and a huge challenge to make original enough that it allows for free play but also has clear guidlines.
I can't say I'd be too thrilled with the idea of gods, demons, or zombies popping up in our humble X-Men RP...
I'd agree with that. This is an x-men site and there's a lot we can do within x-men to keep things interesting without jumping into things too supernatural. I think we can use ellements but I'd like to stay away from things that are more than just inspired.
