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.

Desiree walks up to what appears to be a very damages, clay-covered gate. Fortunately, the intercom still works. *pokes the button* "Excuse me? I was told this is a place for mutants." she said into the intercom.
It had been years, a very long two years that she spent in Japan. It was her home town, she loved it, but the boarding school and the asylum weren't the best aspects of it. She had come back to America in search of her best friend. And although she was wealthy all she carried now was one suitcase, a back pack and a doll.
She saw the girl who rang the bell and came to stand beside her. Looking at the state in which the gate was she turned her pale, hauntingly beautiful face to the young woman.
"Do you think they are in session?" she asked with a slight accent.

Desiree had noticed the lavender scent before the girl had approached. Turning towards Riruki, Desiree smiled pleasantly. "I think so darlin'." she said, her southern accent feint but noticable. She brushed her red/brown haird out of her face. "What's your name hun? Mine's Desiree." she added.
Riruki gave a slight smile and bowed out of habit.
"Dashikura, Riruki" she said saying her last name first in it's traditonal recitation before standing upright again. "You may call me Ruki, though, Desiree. Your name is beautiful." she added.

"I could say the same about yours, Ruki." Desiree said with a smile. She looked at the gates again. "I heard about some giant mudball terrorizing New York, looks like he's been here." Desiree said, eyeing the destruction.

"My sentiments exactly." Desiree said, still looking at the gate. She turned to look at Ruki again. "I think I like you already Ruki." she said with a smile. She poked the button again and spoke into the intercom. "Is anyone there?" she asked into the device.
Ruki's white skin turned a bright red briefly before returning to its original colour. She waited but no one answered the intercom.
(We should just let ourselves into the damn gate)
"Shhhh" Riruki chided the doll gently.
(You could just blast it. No matter what the outcome, the gate is fragile enough to-)
"no." Riruki wasn't that loud, she was speaking softly enough for those in the near vicinity to hear. "Perhaps one of the students will let us in? Him, over there." she pointed. Riruki never yelled and she wasn't about to do so.

"Was she talking to herself?" Desiree thought, looking over at Ruki. She glanced over to where Ruki had pointed. "HEY! You over there!" she shouted to the boy. "Wanna let us in, hun?" she asked, as Jonothan came running over.
"My name is Dahikura, Riruki and this is Desiree." Riruki's diplomacy skills began to take over. "We are mutants, and would like to be let in please." she said simply and softly.
The boy gave her an odd look before opening the mangled gate which moved stiffly as it dug into the ground.
Riruki's mouth twisted slightly at the question. Talking abou the doll always made her nervous.
"Isabella" She said. "But I call it Hina Oni." she said.
(Not that again)
Riruki cringed. The doll did not speak her native japanese and she preferred to keep it that way. She spoek to it in english and it spoke to her in the same language. It hated the name she'd given it.

"Well she looks pretty, like you." Desiree said with a smile. She meant what she said, the doll was cute in her opinion, and Ruki was very pretty. Jonothan glanced back at the girls as they reached the door. He opened it, and held it for them.
(that's right, SHE. You should stop calling me IT.)
"Arigato, Des-Chan" She said sweetly, walking through the door. "You yourself are very beautiful as well." she took longer to return to her normal comlexion this time.

It might now be southern custom, but Desiree bowed slightly as well. She entered the mansion, and upon sniffing the scent of cat within the building, very short hair covered her skin. It would have continued to grow and she would have let out Soul, if she hadn't realized it in time. The hair quickly retreated, and Desiree shook her head like a dog shaking off water. "Tear, bite, rip, shred..." repeated in her mind, but slowely faded as he more human side took control again. Jonothon wasn't looking, but she knew Ruki had seen her, she looked quickly at her new friand, unsure of her reaction.
