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.

With no direction, and no one chasing him for a few days EVOX could not help but feel restless. He fed on chaos and carnage, a few days mostly alone in a big mansion were a more torturous prison than any the mere humans could develop for him, and even though he chose to stay in this place, he could not help but feel that hiding was the same as quitting, the same as being defeated.This was not an option. All he wanted was a night out. Just a small taste of blood on his lips, and the bittersweet smell of smoke in his lungs. He would get more than that
More than twenty-four hours later; It was cold night outside The Sanctuary. cold, but humid, and not very dark. Explosion's light the sky and artificially warmed the air. So that that the dusk, looked and felt like dawn. EVOx galloped thunderously toward the door. Nothing would stop him. He didn't look yellow all over the way he normally did,his top half was splattered orange. Obviously he had been having alot of fun. But that time was over now. Now he wanted to rest. He did not feel like he was retreating now, because no one would dare chase him this far. He felt revitalized.He slid to a stop in a cartoonish manner showing his complete lack of compassion for the terrible things he had just done. He was stopped in front of the door to the Sanctuary. As if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, he quietly and quickly opened the doors, walked in, and shut them behind him.
Abyss set in the Foyer for a couple of reasons. The first being that several, Sanctuary residents were acting out against this sickening society of theirs and that sometimes meant that they brought trouble home with him. But only one had made the news tonight live coverage. HE was indeed the second reason.He was big Yellow and acted as if he had nothing to loose, nothing to fear. Abyss could relate to him with ease. Abyss folded the news paper into his lap and then stood up. As far as stature went Abyss actually had to look up some, something he was not used to. But that was all the more reason to let this man know that his talents were appreciated and give them their interest formally.
“Evox, Is it?” Abyss stood and crossed the room. “ May I ask what it was you were doing out there tonight?” it was plain that his tone held curiosity and approval. Today he wore a fine suit Armani to a trained eye. Red pinstripes on black. His hair was spiked and lately he had added a bit of Platinum jewelry to his ensemble. He offered his hand TO shake not the slightest bit shaken or deterred by the human’s blood he had covered him self in.
EVOX smiled at the hulking red figure before him. He felt it was obvious what he had been up to, so the approving tone was extremely interesting to EVOX. He had to look only slightly down to the Red gladiator. He rubbed some "red" off of his hand onto the side of his own black outfit and then eagerly shook the offered hand with his clean one. "Just having some fun, I..." His words cut off as the hand connected he meant to only very gently grasp the mans hand, but he held tight there for a few seconds. He closed his eyes hard for a second. It was power, great strong power-trip induced-orgasm strength-power. He was grateful for it. It also told him a little about this man. It told him that until just this moment, the man could have punched a hole straight through him. So, he was not the type to cross. He shook off the shock of the gift, and attempted to regain control of his speech. "I was simply reminding the local authorities that they should still fear me, even if I leave them alone for a few days." He attempted to remove his hand from the Abyss'.
Abyss smiled and nodded to the man letting him go when he was done shaking his hand, he was glad that the man didn’t drive it to a hand crushing contest. . “ Very good, it is always wise to stay fresh in their minds. I am not sure if you are aware of it Evox, but this place holds more than simply the sanctuary. If you dig deeper it holds something much more ominous for the humans. At a glance of him he wasn’t sure that he would be the easy victor. Not that one could ever tell at a glance with mutants.
“with that in mind, I have a couple of questions for you. Have you heard of the Order? And regardless of whether or not you have heard, would you like to join it. It is a group of like minded individuals I assure you.”
Abyss made his open handed offer. Not speaking of the benefits that came with the order but only that there were others that treated the humans the way the deserved to be. And furthermore they wished him to join them.
“ I ofcourse willgo ino more detail as time goes on, but we Like to keep the humans in their place. And we will with time show them where they truly belong.”
EVOX smiled a great sinister smile that stretched wide with a deviousness few could comprehend. This was a very good day for him. Not only did he suddenly posses some of the greatest physical strength he had ever encountered, but he had finally found what he had been looking for when he first arrived here at the Sanctuary. "It may or may not surprise you, but I have heard about that group, and in fact it's connection with this place is what drove me here a few days ago. I am...extremely interested in your offer." EVOX stretched out his massive frame releasing completely any tension he had acquired from viewing this place as "restricting" or "confining."
" Well then my friend, Welcome to the Order. That actually is good to hear about you knowing we have been gaining momentum and are heading toward a more publc face. soon, Very soon we will be taking New york more in hand. I am sure you will enjoy the process." Abyss matched evox's wikedness more with his eyes than his mouth. "Well then lets get you introduced to the rest of the members, FIrst I suppose you should meet the one an only human we have Evr truly excepted. He brought his hand toward Lisa. " She is well aware of most if not all of what we do. She supports it and approves of it. more imporatnatly this, is the only humn that we would be bothered about if you killed. GOod help is hard to find, and she is the best." He turned and headed toward the elevators expecting Evox to follow.
(OOC: hey so, you're post is black on black, WTF? I can read it highlighted, but you might wanna fix that when you get a chance.)
"I don't think that will be a problem, If a human knows' their place then there not a very big chance that I will desire to dismember them." EVOX's large smile settled down to a grin as they passed by the human girl on the way to the elevator. He only recovers his emotional display so as not to mislead to the girl. EVOX felt that it didn't matter why he was smiling, but if he kept the large evil smile up while talking about dismembering Lisa, it might provide for some unnecessary "tension" between them.
Abyss lead the large gentleman into the elevator and pushed the buttons taking them to the living quarters. There would be little to no room in the elevator left after both of them loaded in.
“I assume you have seen all of the normal living quarters and what not as you have been here for a bit. Cafeteria, infirmary, work out room, reche is on his way room, library?”
He waited for a reply and then continued. “If that is the case then I will show you to the couple of areas that are more order oriented. The war room, the cathedral, and the garage, after that it is more about tracking down other members, than anything else. I could also introduce you to the couple of extra entrances we have set up. Useful if you have need to be discreet. Any questions before we get started?”
