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.

As the sun was cresting the horizon, Eldwyn reached the gates of the mansion gates. Though he had been walking for the better part of the night, he was awake enough to appreciate the red and orange light of a new day.
'And hopefully a new begining.' He thought to himself. A cool morning breeze picked up suddenly. Pulling shut his trench coat, and tipping his hat down to deflect some of the wind, he looked for a buzzer of sorts. After a quick glace, he pressed the now located buzzer.
He pulled his harmonica from his pocket and began to play a soft, light hearted, upbeat tune while he waited for a responce.

Millie smiled as she skipped outside. Singing her ABC's...she wasn't really singing them right, but she didn't know, so she continued to sing. "Aa, Bee, Tee, Dee, Eee, eFF, Gee, acH, I, Jay, Kay, elemeno, Pee, Coo, aRe, eTe, Tee, oU, Vee, double-ou, eX, whY, Zee."
Then she saw the new man and her innocent curiousity grabbed ahold of her, as usual, and she skipped over to him. "Are you here to be nite?" She asked, not capable of pronouncing anything that sounded like s.

Wyn noticed the little girl skip over to him and speak. He smiled gently and chuckled softly when she spoke. He knelt down while tapping his harmonica agianst his left palm to clear it before putting it away. He looked her in the eyes. "Yes, yes," he chucked a bit more, "I suppose you could say that." He looked around the grounds quickly, of what he could see, before looking at her again. "I actually came here to learn." Pausing a moment 'She looks almost Lizzy's age, maybe a bit older..' Noticing his silent pause, "Oh, where are my manners." He removed his right glove, putting it in his pocket, before holding out towards the girl throught he gates. "I'm Eldwyn Bebeodan."

"Eldwyn...um...Bebodan?" She asked, attempting to pronounce his last name but failing. Never-the-less, she shook his hand and replied with her name; "My name it Melita Wolfe, but everyone jut call me Millie. But Jeremy and Miranda and everyone at my parent' hout would call me Night Light. Oh, and Mama Emmy call me Firefly. But you can call me whatever you want." Suddenly, without warning, she let go of his hand and thrust her teddy bear up to his face with a huge smile that made her blue eyes sparkle. "OH! Thit it Merlin the Wonder Teddy! He give me my power when I am cared and he look out for me when I am alone and in the dark." She pulled him back to her chest and hugged the cute bear before lightl kissing his head. "Do you have a Wonder Teddy?" She asked as she swayed from left to right, still hugging her bear.

As the young girl tried to pronounce his last name, Eldwyn laughed. "Good try. It's kind of a funny name huh." He said with a big smile. "You have a very nice name, I like Millie, it's cute, just like you." He chuckled again. "You can call me Wyn if you'd like." He was startled for a moment when she thrust the bear toward him. 'Well, that's, interesting, wonder why she thinks that...' "Well Merlin, you're a very special bear, take good care of Millie kay?"
Thinking a moment as he looked up and to the left with a puzzled face, "No, I don't really have a wonder teddy. I used to, when I was young, about your age actually. Whenever I was feeling sad, lonely or scared, I'd hold on to him, and I'd feel good and safe." He looked at the little girl again and smiled a very warm smile.
"I wonder if there are any adults awake right now.." He was speaking mostly to himself as he trailed off. "What are you doing up and about so early Millie?"
"MILLIE!!" Johnathon exclaimed as he ran over to the gate and picked the girl up in his arms. "You know you aren't supposed to be around by the front gates, missy. You're supposed to be near the front doors of the school."
He turned his attention to the young guy outside the gates and sized him up. He looked about to be his own age as he took his free arm that wasn't holding Millie and picked up his radio. "Miss Tipper, we have a visitor."
"Ok, just let the mutant in. I'm awake," Tricity's voice replied, crackling over the radio. Johnathon unlocked the gates and pulled them open to let the newcomer in.
"My name's Johnathon. What's yours?" the teenager asked, bending down to let Millie ride on his back.

Eldwyn looked at Millie with a smirk, in a light hearted playful tone, "Millie, were you suppose to stay near the door? Silly silly girl." He gave her a bright smile and winked at her.
He walked forward till he was within arm distance from the man. "Johnathon, I'm Eldwyn Nyle Bebeodan," He put is right hand out, "Pleasure to meet you. Call me Wyn or Nyle." As an afterthought, his left hand at his side, with only the index and middle finger straight out, moved in a semi-circle. As he did this his bag and his violin case moved over to his side from where they had previously sat near the road. "I hope Millie won't be in trouble for this."
"Nice to meet you, man," Johnathon replied, taking the handshake. He watched as Nyle moved his belongings toward them. "A telekinetic, huh? We have a few more here too...oh, and don't worry about Mille. She' too cute to really be mad at." Johnathon gave her a quick rasberry on her cheek.
"So, where you from, Nyle?" He asked, as the three were halfway across the lawn.

He laughed outloud. "Yeah, she is quite the little cutie. I can imagine she gets away with alot." Pausing for a second, "I guessed there would be. I've heard about this place, that's why I came." He walked along with him toward the door. "Well, I guess that depend on your deffinition. I was born in Elk River, Minnesota, so I'm origionally from there, but as where I'm from now, no set place, I've been wandering for a couple of years now."
"Sounds like the stories of the many," Johnathon said, referring to a lot of the residents who were living at the mansion with the same type of history. "The Headmistress is ill, but you can see her in the infirmary once you've picked out a room on the second floor. She'll give you all the info you need."
He pulled open the heavy front doors of the mansion, putting Millie down. "Oh, and the boys and girls have separate hallways upstairs that fork left and right. Your old enough where you get your own room on the guys' side. A very beautiful plus. The hallway to the direct middle leads to the older mutants' rooms and the infirmary. You should head up there once you've settled in to talk to her."
