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 full name: Max Peterson > Alias/ Nickname/ Code name: (if applicable) None > Gender: Male > Age: 30 > Birthday: (if applicable) 19 October > Nationality/ Ethnicity: Half Indian/Half American > Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: Born in Bangladesh, but > lived most of his > life in Chigago > > *Appearance* > > Hair colour and style: Dark Hair, cut short, with > occasional spikes due to > neglect. > Eyes: Hazel brown > Height: 6ft > Build: A big person, he is quite hefty looking, but he isn't fat, this is mainly his muscles and size.
Appearance
Hair colour and style: Dark Hair, cut short, with occasional spikes due to neglect. Eyes: Hazel brown Height: 6ft Build: Very big person, not fat, but muscular. Visible mutation: (if applicable) none Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: none Other features: A tall, brown skinned man, he has a small button nose, he often sits and sits upright even at informal occasions.
Everyday clothing style: A black overcoat, dark blue jeans and T-shirt. He has stopped wearing a suit, since it just wasn't for him, and it actually made him stand out more in New York. Uniform: (if applicable) He is a fireman, and has wore that uniform for a good 10 years. He might wear something like that in the X-men. Sleepwear: Normal pyjamas nothing special Miscellaneous clothing: He wears his engagement ring, a small golden one wrapped around his finger, even though his fiancée died 3 years ago.
Character
Personality: Back when he was a firefighter he was the bravest fireman on the force, effortlessly risking his life to save people who others thought were long dead. He was also a very cheerful and passionate person. But after his wife (a human) was killed by a mutant supremacist, he became far more quiet and angry at all the cruelty people can do due to a person's genes. He is still a nice person but he no longer goes out drinking with friends or parties, he just stays home, quietly looking at photos. But if someone could teach him how to use his powers to help more people from these extremists he would jump right on board. Hobbies/ Interests: He is an avid reader of detective and mystery novels. He always wondered what it would be like to be a detective, but this desire has dimminshed since his wife's death. But he did take a criminology course in cllege. Job or part time job and description: He is a fireman in Chigago and a good one. He has several medals for bravery. Jobs can be established later through in character RPing. If you plan on working at the mansion it will have to be approved. Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Since his wife's death he has become incredibily nervous around doctors (See below) and would have to be dragged to any hospital. Special talents: (not related to mutation) With both his fireman training and some good old bar room rough housing, he is a strong man (not superhuman, but still quite strong) and can hold a mean drink. He is an amateur detective but it also very good with arson cases.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: (please explain) Good. He was raised up to be a good person, and to put others before himself which he did by becoming a fireman, and which he still does in his wife's memory.
Mutations
Mutation description: He has Lung Adaptability, the ability to adjust the gasses in his lungs to anything he could possibly desire. This allows him to survive in inhospitable conditions by converting the gas into oxygen for him to breathe. He can also convert the gas into something dangerous for him to breathe out at an opponent, for example filling the area with smog to make an escape or knockout gas to take the enemy out (But he doesn't know how to do this yet, he will learn) Strengths: The wide varity of attacks that are possible could make him a very powerful compettitor in time, and he can easily surprise people with no obvious mutations. Weaknesses: He needs to hold the gas in his lungs to transform, which takes a few seconds. He is vulnerable to attacks in that time. The amount he absorbs is equal to the amount he shoots out. He is not invulnerable to any poisonous gas he produces that could affect his skin or the sort, so he must be careful.
Secondary mutation description: (if applicable) Super strong lungs This mutation should be linked or make sense with your first mutation. You don't need a second mutation, but you can develop one later on with moderator approval. Strengths: He can store huge amounts of gas in his lungs, 5x the amount of a normal human. This also means when he squeezes it out, he has a lot of ammo and when it shoots out, it's like a huge gust of wind. One of his favourite tactics is blowing his opponents down with a gust of wind. It also means he can hold his breath for a very long time if needed. Weaknesses: Again, his lungs aren't invulnerable. if he is forced to hold any dangrerous gasses without converting it in his lungs, like carbon monoxide it could kill him.
Fighting Style (if applicable)
Explanation: Not really. Just some rough house brawling Pros for fighting style: He's done it before, his strength helps him here. Cons for fighting style: Will lose easily to a trained fighter quite easile
Faction Allegiance Unaffiliated May join the x-men in time.
History Of Your Character: Please write the history of your character and explain when they discovered (if applicable) their power(s). Born in Bangladesh to an Indian mother and an American dad was unusual. His dad was here on business when he met his mum (Sonia), and they fell in love and got married. When Max was born, the father (Dan) moved the 3 of them to America with him. His family was a good one, and he was raised as an all around American boy (played football, got decent grades) He discovered he had poweres when he was 14, he had a challenge from one of his friends to hold his breath under water for 10 minutes. He easily surpassed the time. then 20 minutes. then 30. Then the friends rushed to get him out, but he was fine. They were amazed at him and they celebrated it. But he didn't really think much of it at the time.
When he was 20 he became a firefighter, and made the force proud, with his dedication and bravery. He discovered while crawling about in the smoke of a building h, he kept thinking "air. I need air!" Suddenly the smoke in his lungs became oxygen. He decided to keep this trick from his friends.
Then, at 26 he met the love of his life Clara Lee, a beautiful girl who had just moved to the Chigago area. Being the gentleman he showed her around and their relationship went from there. On the 27th of July, her birthday,two years later he proposed. They were going to get married.
And then they came. Three doctors arrived at his house. They had lots of papers and rights to come in they said. The Doctors said they were here because they feared there might be an allele between both Max's and Clara's DNA that could result in a new disease if they ever had any offspring. They wanted to make sure that the two of them weren't carriers. They wanted to do the test at home, and they said it would be quick. Max was concerned but Clara convinced him to agree.
She was put in the guest room for about half an hour, and then one of the doctors came back wiping his hand of blood. "What did you do with my wife?" Max asked. The doctor looked up. "What, that pathetic human? We killed her of course." Ma was shocked. The doctors had made up the virus, and all they wanted to do was make sure no mutant would defile himself by breeding with a human.
In absolute rage, he put the mutant into a wall and ran up to his wife's dead body, batting aside the other mutants. He weeped as he held her in his arms, before he screamed to the heavens.
He wanted to make sure people like this never hurt people like him or his wife ever again. He would stop them. Somehow.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Google actually. Was looking for a power generator for my RP game and it led me to the site. Do you have any other existing characters, if so who: nope. Sample RP: Max waited patiently downstairs for the test to be complete. He was incredibly worried about his wife-to be. She had been there too long and he didn't trust the doctors. But Clara wanted things to be safe for the baby. "Whatever happens, I will always love you." She said to him before she went up. Finally one of the doctors came down, wiping his glasses with his sleeves.
He was a very short, almost dwarfish man, with a weird crumpled face, with almost lizard like eyes. And he kept licking his cheeks with that tongue of his. But still it was good to finally here something. "Well Doctor?" He stood up as he spoke. The doctor looked up at him with a look of disdain. "Well what?" "My fiancée sir." "Who?" He genuinely looked puzled. Then he nodded as if some lightbulb in his head just flickered on. " Ah yes, the human, the asian one. No need to worry about her." Max breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well that's good to know. So she's ok?" The man looked up with a confused face. "What? No. Of course not. We killed her. Filthy human bloodied my glasses as well." Max looked with absolute shock "WHAT!" His voice had some incredible volume, and the doctor was almost blown off his feet.
"Oh my, that is a powerful gift. You would be perfect for our orginisation." The doctor could see Max was in shock. "Oh yes, I see. This must be terribly confusing. Let me explain it to you. Me and my fellow doctors are members of a group called the Hands of Eden, a group who understand that mutants should be the rulers of the planet. Humans have no right to think they can dream of being near us in status. The human had to be shown her place. You understand that don't you."
Max was utterly horrified by this mad man. "You monster!" And swung a punch at the doctor. The doctor then twisted his spine 360 degrees, and bent it away from the attack, and then the rest of him followed. He was like a freaking spring, bending out of shape everywhere.
The mad doctor then leapt straight at his face, covering his mouth and preventing it from opening very wide. "Don't be foolish and think you can stop us. Your power has been effectivly sealed!" Max grabbed at the little man, but he couldn't be budged. Then Max reached for a wall, and then smacked his head (and the doctor) against it. Something cracked. And it wasn't Max.
With the doctor in the wall he ran up the stairs, his heart pacing. It can't be true it can't be true! But there he saw the disgusting vermin smiling over his wife's tortured carcass! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The doctors were blown into a wall, and Max was on his knees, holding his dead's wife hands, he whispered her lasts words to her again. "Whatever happens, I will always love you."

I love the power, Max. I think this would be a fun character to meet. Maybe soon. Anyways, hope you have a great time here on MRO, and here's your warm welcome from me.
I'm rather confused on where The Hand of The Order came from. We have no splinter groups and anyone trying to copy us would be dealt with very harshly.
