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.

*tricity stepped out on the front steps, looking up at the cloudless sky and the bright moon, lighting up the area. she walked around the side of the mansion and saw chaos waiting there for her. she walked over to him and sighed.* look, honestly...if you knew who you were, i would be the last one telling you this, but...i dont know...i'm always about second chances. *she saw his expression was that of total confusion, but she continued.* um...see, i'm a mutant. *he showed no sign of recognition.* and so are you...what this means is...well...in our dna, there is a gene that gives us special abilities unlike that of a human. me...i can control electricity from any source that provides it. i can also hear radio transmissions in the surrounding area...and occasionally, i can produce a bolt of lightning. *for a second she thought chaos was going to laugh, but he didnt.* does, this mean anything to you?
*he stared helplessly for a moment and then went to answer her* im not sure of this mutant thing u talk about, and honestly your really the only ppl i know right now, ive been having dreams and flashes which i think are memories....and ive seen parts of the me that scares you all........imagine if you could, having no memory of who u are, or where u are, the last thing u did was hit the ground hard.......i dont ask u guys to forgive me, cause i know not what it is to ask forgiveness for......strange though that u mention the powers u have, ive seen others with them in my dreams....but i didnt know what to make of them....its a little clearer now
[glow=blue,2,300]Orion came outside looking for Tricity. He found her and Chaos talking about his amnesia. As he rounded the corner he saw Tricitytrying to explain her abilities and help Chaos out.[/glow]
no i dont remember anything about my powers, until now i didnt even know i had powers......i hope its not flight cause, id feel really stupid having fallen into the ground earlier...but then again that would explain why i was plumeting twords the ground??
*he thought quitely or a moment, deciding weather or not he should know his own powers or not*......well i dont want to be just walking down the street somewhere and have something happen where someone gets hurt or something, so i guess i do want to know..
*tricity couldnt believe that last statement, but figured she would be easy on him. she hated being nice sometimes.* well...you can imitate the powers of other mutants. for instance... *she conjured the electricity she had taken from the outlet just before she entered the guest room, causing a small electric, blue ball to form in her hand. it glowed and sparked every which way as she held it up to chaos.* now, your abilities let you copy what i've just done...not permanently though. i dont really know the extent of your abilities, as we were never really close friends... *she said the last part with sarcasm.*
*lifting his hand up he watched in a bit of shock as a smaller blue orb almost exactly like tricitys but a lot smaller and less potent, appeard in his hand, he started waiving his hand around just testing it, eventually it died down and dissipated*....so i can just do that whenever i want now???
[glow=blue,2,300]"Not exactly, you see like Tric said you have a limited time to be able to use the abilities. You also can only acquire them if you see them first hand, but I dont think if you see them in like a video or a memory you can use them then. It has to be live and in fornt of you, type thing. Watch try the ball again and youll see." Orion said as gestured for Chaos to give it a shot. As he attempted it Orion asked. "Do you remember your name at least?"[/glow]
*he tries again, to much suprise absolutly nothing happens* so technically i have no powers....and the best i can do is a low version copy...... how was i ever a danger?.......and my name........well, ive heard ppl talking, some of the kids seemed to murmor something as i passed by, but i was more suprised by there shock and fear then by what they had said
YOU WALKED AROUND THE KIDS?! *orion shot her a look and she turned away, rolling her eyes.* you destroyed central park, chaos... *tricity said bluntly.* it was quite a spectacle
[glow=blue,2,300]Ill say, I had a blast fighing you again!" quipped Orion. Then he caught Tricitys look and he feigned a stern look again and spoke with a deeper tone. "Yes, you did quite alot of damage and put many people in danger. Some of them only wanted to help you." he said trying to sound almost like an authority figure but it came out more like a fake repremand.[/glow]
*he sat for a moment, taking everything in, destroying central park, endangering ppl.....he cringed at the thought, it almost seemed unbelieveable...* but how could i've been........aghhha *more flashes came to chaos, this time thoughts turned to fights between him and orion, a spectacle to be sure, the two engaged in sword fights using there powers mearly to enchance there fighting styles.....he stared down and his hand was glowing a very faint purple and he could feel the same vibe emminating from the sword which orion still carried around with him.....staggering backwards he stumbled a bit and sat down..*ahhhh man these vision or memories or whatever ahhh man there a pain
*tricity watched chaos closely as the recognizable purple glow emitted from his hands. she had half a mind to attack him, but the glow disappeared and she relaxed a little.* yea, well you caused a lot of pain.... *she decided she needed to leave before she said too much. as tricity stood up, she looked back down at chaos.* i would prefer if you didnt go wandering around at night since the mansion has just been reopened. maybe walk the halls or something...go to the kitchen or watch tv in the living room. *she pulled the robe tighter around her again.* but, maybe the past was a lesson for you to learn and now you are going to change from what you used to be... *she walked off at this and headed around the corner to the front again, not saying anything to orion. she was too upset to even look at him, let alone speak to him. when tricity went inside, she closed the front doors and started the alarm. archon picked his head up from the floor as he lay waiting for her and they both went back upstairs to tricity's room.*
