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.

I'm looking for someone to make me a signiture avatar combination. I’m not too picky about text for it, but perhaps a quote from Dirty Harry would work. That, or any quote you feel suits my character. Here are some images to choose from when you make it. For the avatar, just an image is fine. No need to put a name or flavor text. This would look cool as an avatar, I think, but whatever you think would look best is fine by me.
Thanks to whoever does this for me. You win cookies and one free contract assassination from Lenna to be used at your discretion on a non-vital non-player character of your choice.
((And the hit doesn’t even have to be used until you meet Lenna. Joy!))
It has been 100+ posts and I feel like it's time for a slight change in the Lenna signature. Perhaps something a little less violent, a bit more philosophical?
I'm curious what someone could come up with. Again, the reference images for the lookalike are in the first post.
I rustled up a little something for you, it is relatively simplistic, but I like it. let me know if you'd prefer a tweak here or there on either. I liked the Orange for her as her color is mangoes. and the script I wrote Lenna in is called ransom.
Haha! I love the quote on your signature, Abyss, and the fact you edited 'Justice' onto the gun.
And yours is great too, Circe. I like how my eyes are drawn to Lenna's, and her mouth isn't shown.
It is a bit gray, though. The metal kind of blends into the grayness, and blurs the sides of her face. Maybe if the background were a bit more bluish, there'd be a hint more contrast? Then the signature would be red, white, and blue.
I'm also curious how this font would look on the signature. It might go well with the grungy look. What do you think?
I also like this font, though not for that particular signature.
Thanks, everyone.
Now, off to watch some Mezzo since I finally know where that picture is from!
But personally, I think the scarf image and this bubbly one in the same sig would look good. They'd also be a bit more carefree than my previous signatures for Lenna.
