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: Nunally Taneisha Biermann Alias/ Nickname/ Code name: -- Gender: Female Age: Sixteen Birthday: January 28th Nationality/Ethnicity: African-American, with some French and Native American blood from both parents' backrounds. Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: Nunally was born and raised in Grand Isle, Louisana, until she turned ten when her parent's divorce gave custody of her and her brothers to their mother, who was originally a Mississippi resident. She stayed in Mississippi for three years, until her powers began to form and her mother quickly to her to a boarding school in New York. Not that her mother didn't care about her, but she wanted her to be safe and away from the close-knit community of Chicksaw, MS. As of late, she stays in a boarding school for inner-city children and teenagers in the heart of New York, and she hasn't summed up the courage to even consider Xavier's Institute.
Hair colour and style: Black and unruly, with thick, tight curls that can be confused as dreadlocks at first glance. Eyes: Both eyes are almond shaped, while her left eye is normal and brown her right eye glows with a light purple color with a pink iris. Height: 5'6 Build: She's a bit thicker than the girls in the magazines but is able to keep a steady weight thanks to her frequent walks around the city and her avoidance of the nasty hot dog stands near Central Park. Visible mutation: Her right eye's strange coloring, luckily, that can be remedied with colored lenses. Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: Both ears have two piercings, making that a total of four piercings. Other features:
Everyday clothing style: She's in love with street fashion. Hello Kitty jackets, brightly colored tunics, and ballerina flats. She hates name brand clothes and prefers chain stores and making her own clothes.
Uniform: --
Sleepwear: None! She sleeps in the nude! Just joking, she wears pajama bottoms and baggy shirts, sometimes the pajama bottoms could exchanged for boy shorts or tights, but she usually just takes off her pants and fall asleep. Lazy, but time saving.
Miscellaneous clothing: Nally likes quirky, original designs when it comes to her accessories. An apple shaped necklace, earrings designed as robots, t-shirts designed after weird, obscure, Japanese cartoons. The strange and unusual is absolutely accepted in this realm.
Character
Personality: Nunally's crazy, ya'll. She laughs at her own jokes, actually enjoys reading assignments, and talks in a strange, psuedo-French accent. She plays the cello, for crying out loud! She's also a bit...excitable. Anything out of the ordinary can start this girl on a rampage of weirdmess, especially if you're interesting to her. More than likely, you'll find her trailing behind you and claiming to be "YA BEST FRIEND!" at almost waking moment. She'll be a nuisance, she'd be aggravating, and you're going to be stuck with her. Which is why she doesn't have many friends, not that she cares, and she does.
When it comes to love, she denies it. She's felt the feeling of a crush many times, but she can't, for the life of her, act on it; irony at its best. Hell, if a boy stares at her hard enough she'll run off to HIDE. Overall, she's a nice girl, a nice, crazy girl, but nice overall.
Hobbies/ Interests: - People watching - Indie comics, books, movies, music, etc... - French - The South - The Nineties - Anything that's "different"
Job or part time job and description: -- Fears/Phobias/Concerns: She has a lot of fears. She fears being "outed" as a mutant, and she fears not being able to make something of herself because of what she is. Nunally's not afraid of death, but she is afraid of dying alone. She's sixteen and she's never even received her first kiss, which is shameful, at least in the eyes of a teenager.
Special talents: She likes music, in fact, she likes it so much wants to make a career out of it.
Morality
Good/Bad/Neutral/Other: Neutral, she just wants to live her life in peace, she doesn't mind the humans at all, her family is human, why should she dislike them? Just as long as they mind their own business, it's fine with her.
Mutations
Mutation description: There's a reason why her eye looks like that. And it ain't there just to make her look "cute" either. You see, when her eye is this pretty, purpley stage she's harmless. It's when its blood red is where you have a problem. She suddenly starts to shake violently, and her second eye bleeds over red. She stops shaking. Transparent arms, the same color as her eyes, sprout from her body and begin to attack her opponent.
These arms, are what Nunally call the "Devil's Instruments" [the correct term is "Vector"]. They are transparent [manifestions of her energy] and "telekinetically" controlled and have the power to manipulate and cut objects within their reach.
Strengths: - Very powerful and effective in a fight. Can be used to hold off enemies while others escape or go on with a plan
- Cannot be cut down by physical means. (attempting to slice them off with a knife, etc.)
Weaknesses:
- She can only use two arms at a time.
- As of now, they can only reach twelve feet, which can give one an oppurtunity to flee.
- Nunally has no control over this power, it strikes whenever she's threathened or hit on the head. Sometimes, it just appears out of nowhere, which means that Nunally is the mutant equivalent of a bomb without a timer-- no one knows when she's going to explode.
Secondary mutation description: --
Strengths: -- Weaknesses: --
Fighting Style
Explanation: -- Pros for fighting style: -- Cons for fighting style: --
Faction Allegiance: Unaffiliated
History Of Your Character: Nunally is the second child and first daughter to a young Cajun named Robert and his wife, Edna. Edna was studying in a medical school located in New Orleans, while her father wanted to be a math teacher. They both met through a mutual friend and were married after three years of dating.
Later that year, they had a son, Robert Jr. and two years after him, Nunally was born. They had three more children after her: Theo, Edward, and the youngest girl, Evangeline. As a child, she was a pushover and was prone to being a "crybaby". She didn't have many friends, so she turned to music. Endless piano and cello lessons, something that would bore most children, excited her, and placed her in a world filled with chords, time signatures, and melodies.
Even so, she was still much of an outcast throughout her earlier years. She wore glasses and enjoyed unconventional things, such as rock and roll and old Blues songs, while her peers prefered Gangsta rap and mainstream RnB. Her parent's divorce made it even more painful, and when she moved to Mississippi with her mother and sister, her strange manners and way of speaking made her a perfect target. She was weak, and easy to hurt, Nunally was always sent home crying, in spite of what the teachers tried to do for her.
One afternoon as she was walking home from school, a group of boys and a few girls persued her. One of them, Johnny Gilmore, was the boyfriend of one of her female bullies. One girl held her back, as the other began to land punches all over her body, the boys just stood there and laughed while she cried and begged them all to "stop". A warning that, they'd all regret to take. As soon as the punch hit her skull, her eyes changed into a vengeful red and her, "Instruments" began their hellish work on the teens.
When she came to, she was awoken by the sounds of screaming, her own screams. Everyone was dead. Their bodies were ripped apart, legs, arms, even heads were in piles, as if they were trash.
She ran.
Luckily, no one was home when she arrived. When she went to a mirror to view the damage that was done to her, she was fixated only one thing: her eye. Nothing could describe the horror she felt when she saw herself. She killed five people. She was a murderer, but more importantly, she was a mutant. Her mother found her screaming, and covered in blood and dirt, her mother suspected that she had been another fight, until she saw her eye. Then Nunally told her what happened, and Edna panicked. A millisecond passed until she realized that she was still her daughter and cried with her.
The bodies were found in the woods, and people began to talk. Wasn't she with them around the time of the murder? Her family quickly defended her (she confessed to her father and brothers on the phone) and her mother found no other choice than to send her away. "I promise that you'll like being in New York, Nally. It's a nice school and all of the children are well-behaved and have as much problems as you do." When it was time for her to leave, she made a vow, a vow to never frown and to put everyone else happiness before her's.
Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?: RPG Directory
Do you have any other existing characters, if so who: --
Sample RP:
From another RPG forum.
She wasn't aware of the danger she was in. No, she wasn't aware of the actual masquerade around her, the one that has been around since the dawn of time: vampires and werewolves there was a constant war among the species, one fact that humanity only plays with fiction. There were probably even more grotesques that lurked among humans like her, but to a were or a vampire the meadow reeked of the smell of these creatures.
So, why was she here? Simple. Evelyn pretty much forced her to go. Evelyn, (who is her half-sister's mother) took it upon herself to let the girl join in the festivities. Celine had rambled on and on about the party all of last week, and as soon as Celine left, she quickly came to her with a dress and a mask. In a way, Evelyn was like a fairy godmother, even if she didn't want it.
'I really don't want to be here, but I don't want hurt her feelings by running back home. I'll just stay for an hour and a half and then sneak back.'
She sighed, and put her mask on, it was pink, like her dress. The coloring was not her choice, but atleast she was wearing her rose-colored flats. High heels and wet grass do not work well with this girl at all. A deep breath, she did not want to be here, but she promised Evelyn she would have fun.
As she entered the meadow, she swallowed, she didn't know anyone here, besides her sister and she knew she didn't want to be bothered with her at all. There she stood, stiff and very afraid.
Sounds nice. i think i recall something like this in an anime i watched a long time ago. Anyway cool, power, hope to rp with ya soon and welcome to MRO
