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.

HISTORY: Isabel's personal history is nothing out of the ordinary by mutant standards. It's the same old story of an average life that was upheaved by the manifestation of her mutation and the lack of understanding from those that were supposed to love her. After living on her own for a few years, she decided to take up residence at the Sanctuary after it's grand opening and a lovely little game with the NYPD outside the lavish building.
She has since joined the Order, a radical group all for mutant supremacy. With their allowance of her increasingly violent outbursts toward humans and human-sympathizers alike, she has quickly risen on the list of most wanted criminals in New York, as well as becoming the Second in Command of Lady Syn. Involving herself mainly in the affairs of the Order and those that have the potential, she continues to wreak havoc, as well as try and help her family grow and to do what she can to help realize their shared goals.
POWERS:Isabel is a bone manipulator. With this capability, and so long as she retains contact, she is able to control every bone in her body. With ease, she is able to protrude and remove bones from her body, create a layer of armor either over or under her skin, heal damaged bones, or completely regenerate ones that are lost, making her both dangerous and very resilient. Also, as a partnering adaptation to this mutation, she has a sort of personalized healing ability. Because of this, anything done with her own bones causes her no harm. She can also manipulate the skeletal structure of other creatures, though it is to a lesser extent.
POSTS TO SEE: The Sanctuary [Recruiting Bad Guys] - Site of the famous Sanctuary Massacre. Arriving at the Sanctuary during its grand opening, Isabel quickly meets two individuals that call themselves Raptor and Syn. A small scale scuffle between Raptor and a few others quickly escalates into the slaughter of bystanders and law enforcers as both Syn and Isabel join in and get carried away with their fun. After retreating into the newly opened shelter, the meet a man by the name of Oppressor, the owner of the Sanctuary and the past leader of the Order. Isabel does not hesitate to take him up on his offers to have them join him in crushing the humans, thus leading her into her life with the Order.
The case of the missing pants - During a leisurely stroll through Central Park, Isabel encounters Calley, who is at the time disguised as an adorable little black and white cat sleeping on one of the sunny benches. Quickly engaging the cat in a game with the ribbon from her hair, she holds a one-sided conversation with the faux feline, names him Kitten, and ends up allowing it to follow her back to the Sanctuary, unknowingly granting the mutant teen access to the building and those inside it.
Drinkin' Buddies which leads to The Black Lagoon - An adventure to a bar for some underage drinking introduces Isabel to Calley in human form. A few drinks and a fight with an angry werewolf later, and they are competing in a race to get to The Black Lagoon, a horror-themed movie theater. Tickets are beheaded, the powers of darkness are called, gummy worms are stolen, and a walk back to the Sanctuary is had. Once again Isabel allows Calley to room at the Sanctuary, only this time he's got his human skin on.
Not you, Sweetheart. - During the Camp breakout Isabel runs into the anti-mutant zealot cop, Rupert. Several times she had attacked him, and each time he'd managed to get away with his life. Fed up with his lucky streak, she pursues him through the Camps for one last game of tag.
What Golden Doors? leading to Raina's B-Day Party, Part III: Special Delivery - When the famous golden doors of the Sanctuary are stolen, Isabel is in a rage, eagerly joining her teammates in pursuit of their lovely doors. Winding up at the Mansion, a fight immediately breaks out. With one victory and an unexpected loss, Isabel is forced to retreat, though only physically.
You are the first person I ever RPed with on this site, Isabel, and my second character's life continues to revolve around you, when he's not too busy wheezily limping along to wish nasty thoughts upon your ribboned head.
Suffice it to say that you are awesome, and this win is both long overdue and justly deserved, like a "Non Guilty" verdict in a case v. the State of New York.
*gives you a ribbon with an NYPD badge pattern to celebrate*
