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.

Mutations
Mutation description: Ezekiel’s mutation appears as a deformity; his eyes resemble that of a serpents and his mouth is lined with razor sharp teeth in place of the molars most humans possess this mutation allows him to unhinge his jaw for a far more powerful bite. He possesses enhanced senses such as hearing, sight and perception. His strength is augmented by his mutation, allowing him the physical strength of that equal to two men larger than himself. (Ezekiel essentially has mutated with many serpent like qualities, this is the source of his enhanced strength and senses as well as his slower reptilian aging process)
Strengths: Empowered agility and senses allowing him to be difficult to pin down or overpower by any normal being.

Born as the only son to a humble family in Antrim, Ireland; Ezekiel possessed his frightening deformities since birth, he was kept a secret from the neighbours. When he was nine years of age his parents died in a car bombing, a violent religious protest as was common at the time. He was cared for by the Nuns at the local church, kept secret in the bowels where his appearance could not haunt the locals.
At night he was free to venture into the churches hall of records and peruse the old scriptures; his focus became centered on the depictions of the Devil and his chaotic agents. He absorbed the information over the years until his obsession with the deadly sins became all that interested him. He grew to believe that his appearance meant that he was a manifestation of hell on earth, which he was meant to remind the world of what waited after death.
The craving started when he was only twenty, itching in the back of his mind until he couldn’t resist any longer. One evening in the library he attacked one of the Nuns that had been watching over him; she didn’t stand for long against his strength and animalism. By the time they found her she had died; she was a gruesome depiction of barbarism, he had gored her face in his lust to taste human flesh and become the demon within.
The authorities dubbed him “The Nightmare” in the papers, but they never managed to locate him before he stowed away on a ship headed for North America. The American government had been sent a fax depicting the violent nature of his crimes; he was finally captured after his fifth kill and taken to a unique prison in Maine for dangerous mutants.
He has remained there for nearly nine years.
Roleplay Do you have any other existing characters, if so who: Maynard Ashworth Sample RP:
The long stretch of hallway was dimly lit by the hanging lights running straight and true through the center. Dr. Faust looked slightly apprehensive as he walked passively beside the guard whom had been kind enough to accompany him to the heavy bared door leading into this lonely stretch of hallway.
“He’s the only prisoner in this wing; we used to keep him near the others but after a few evenings of his company they were starting to get a little loopy” the guard was chewing absently on a large wad of tobacco as he looked at Dr. Faust with dimwitted eyes.
Dr. Faust nodded to the guard before making his way down the hall; all the cells were empty and looked as though they had been for quite some time. The last cell on the row was entirely a different story; it was kept eerily neat.
The man standing inside had his back turned toward the thick glass keeping him caged; his hair was slicked back in a manner that appeared cheap, like he was forced to do so with nothing more then a wet comb from time to time.
“He… hello there, Mr. Grey” Dr. Faust choked out as he placed his hands into his pockets to conceal the fact that they were shaking.
Ezekiel didn’t respond at first, his right hand rose as though beckoning for silence but at last he turned around to greet the Doctor with a courteous smile.
“Good evening, Dr. Faust” his hands wove together neatly as he approached the glass; his frightening nails rapped lightly against his skin as he surveyed the good Doctor with his animalistic eyes.
“Are you going to dissect my mind unlike all the others?” a lofty brow rose to meet the question poised on his lips; his grin was made all the more wicked by the mouthful of razor teeth.
Dr. Faust swallowed hard, finding it very difficult to be under the scrutiny of this man’s stare. He was a notable psychiatrist and yet he had never dealt with someone of Ezekiel’s particular calibre before. It was incredibly rare to cross paths with a self proclaimed cannibal.
“I suppose I am,” he replied finally finding his nerve.
Ezekiel shook his had once in a displeased manner; “Oh no, you were doing fine up until this very moment” the tip of his tongue stuck past his lips as he bared his teeth. “If you really possess the insight to draw the conclusions that will put all these government types at ease then by all means; impress me with your prowess”
The Doctor exchanged words with Ezekiel for near a half hour; little progress was being made but the conversation was only beginning to get interesting. Ezekiel pressed closer to the glass, he closed his eyes and breathed in deep through his nostrils. “Is that coconut I smell?” he asked aloud though it wasn’t in the form of a question.
“I do believe you smelled like strawberry the other day; tell me Doctor, does your wife change fragrances often or are you seeking solace between another set of heavenly thighs?” Dr. Faust felt sick to his stomach as these words washed over him, he had been warned that this monster was terribly perceptive but he hadn’t prepared himself well enough.
“I would never cheat…” he was cut off however by the snarl of laughter leaving his so called patient.
“Don’t insult me with your childish lies; you seek the gateway to heaven between the creamy thighs of you lover but the only purpose you serve is to earn yourself passage through the gates of hell” he spoke figuratively; his belief in such things had faded with his childhood.
Dr. Faust didn’t say another word; he had turned his back on Ezekiel and thus the chance to ever unearth the true nature of this fiend.
“Good day, Dr. Faust; I look forward to your next visit”

Awesome, a cannibal. I can't wait to see that come up at the dinner table. "Hey, you have any people?" "No, I'm sorry. We're all vegetarians." "... Oh."
I like the power. It's nice to see someone with mutations that force them out of society's view. I look forward to RPing with you.
