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.

Quickdraw enters a bar at about Seven at night just for a few drinks. Barely being able to hear himself think with all the laughter, he quickly makes his way through the crowd to the bar, where a burly man on the other side of the bar asks "What can i getcha?" Looking at the selection behind the bar Quickdraw simply responds "I'll just take a glass of Bud light."
The bartender grabs a glass from the rack above the bar and starts to fill it. As he hands the beer across the Quickdraw simply mutters"Thanks" before he takes a drink of his beer he feels a slight tap on his shoulder. Quickdraw turns to see a pretty brunette staring him in the eye. "do you happen to know where the bathroom is mister?" Looking at her strange Quickdraw simply says"No the girl simply giggles and walks off. Quickdraw spins back around on his stool and takes a drink of his beer, and surprisingly can's stop. After he finishes his beer he begins to feel extremely drowsy.*blacks out*
~Jake?...Jake?.. Mom? Jake save me. Mom! Where are you! Jake? where are you Jake I thought you loved me? I thought you didnt want me to die? Jake where are you?*begins to sob* "Mom I can't see you, I want to help you but i don't know where you are!"
Suddenly Quickdraw is awakened by a strange figure.
Kenzo had moved to New York only a night ago with his parents, so he didn't know any of the fun places around the big city; and he had to have fun... Or else... He decided he need someone to show him around; someone who could tell him all the enjoyable places to be; someone who could be his partner in having a good time, someone like him...
Well, it just so happened that Kenzo could tell who was like him and who wasn't as long as he paid attention. So he let his chemicals do the work as he leaned up against the window of some shady little pub. As people walked past him they might have heard him say things like,
"What would a pyro know about good spots... Telekinetic, blah, useless... Come on! A healer, yeah right..."
That was until ha happened upon one older mutant. He looked like something out of the matrix, now this guy even looked fun. And his powers were... Ooooh! That could be interesting... He thought. So he entered the bar behind his soon to be friend. The bouncer didn't even notice him in his panda bear costume, a decorative katana sheathed on his back.
The bar was noisy, almost annoyingly so with Kenzo's heightened senses, but there was fun about so that kept him happy. What did annoy him was that some stupid girl had come up to his friend. He was about to move up to grab him when she turned and walked away, but not before another girl sitting next to him dropped some kind of pill into the drink he had ordered. Oh, now these girls were drugging his friend; bad idea... Before he could rush in to save him the young man had drunk from the tainted beer!
"Nooooo!" Kenzo shouted as he became extremely obvious to all around him who either became shocked or confused... Or both...
He zoomed in and sweeping kicked the first girl then high kicked the other in the side of the head, both instantly falling to the ground as onlookers gasped in both horror and utter confusion.
Next he grabbed his new friend, and dragged him to the hotel room he had been staying at while his parents moved into their new apartment. He threw the man on the bed and started shaking him, trying anything to get him awake.
"WAAAAAYYYK UUUUUUUP!" He shouted at the unconscious man.

*reaches for his gun* "wheres my gun, what did you do with my gun?!?!" said Quickdraw. As he stares at the panda with anger filled eyes, he realizes that he is not going to get his gun back. Quickdraw stands up and starts to walk around the room he is in. Even though his back is towards the panda man fiend he realizes that the eyes of the beast man are still glued on him.
~I gotta find my guns, if i dont have my guns i may be done for...~ As he scours the room intently he finds the bathroom. He enters the bathroom and locks the door. On the sink he finds two small bags which are filled with basic bathroom supplies.(Toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, gel, shampoo, soap, conditioner, and a wierd subsstance that has what seems to be Japanese written on it. Realizing that this is just a human, Quickdraw realizes that the chance of winning in a fit have raised quite a bit. ~ But i cant fight him, he hasnt hurt me, with what i know he saved me.. Yes but he could have drugged me and is waiting for me to die. Don't do this Jake, don't try to hurt him, until he tries to hurt you. There's nothing to be afraid of, with what we know he doesn't seem to be dangerous... But he is wearing a freakin Panda suit. The kid has to be a freak.~ And with finsishing this thought Jake leaves the bathroom to confront the unknown man under the Panda suit. " I need some answers. I know your not a panda, but what or who are you? How do you know me? Please just answer these questions, so i can know whats going on."
Eventually the matrixy guy woke up, Kenzo was happy at this. He tried to reach for something, but apparently never found it as he began to yell something about guns. Hmmmm.... Guns... Guns... Oh! Those guns! Soon Kenzo remembered that as he had grabbed the man and dragged him away he had dropped something; it didn't seem important at the time. Those must have been this guy's favorite guns, meh, too bad. He figured.
As all these recollections were going on the man had run in to the bathroom and seemed to be making a lot of noise. "Either he's stealing stuff, taking a wicked number two, or... That's just wrong..." He mumbled to himself.
Suddenly the man came out from the bathroom. That was quick, whatever he was doing... He thought, before the distraught looking man started asking questions.
"I know I'm not a panda; why would a panda wear a panda suit? I'm Kenzo! And I don't know you, but you're my new friend who's going to show me all the fun places in the city!" He exclaimed, a full smile appearing on his face beneath is primal mask.

" New friend?, and what do you mean show you the funnest sites? Quickdraw simply shrugs I guess I can show you the sites, oh and by the way... I'm Quickdraw... Do you remember anything about a couple of hand pistols? They were very important you see, and I would love to get those back, so any helpful hents would be great.. Oh and before we become great friends just figured i'd tell you that im a mutant. expecting the ear piercing scream or the punch on the arm that insignifies that they thought you were just kidding around, but there was no response from kenzo.
" you aren't freaking out... are you alright with the fact that im a mutant? Whats the matter. Are you speechless or what?
Kenzo had a small, silent laugh in his suit before answering his new friend,
"I know you're a mutant silly, jeez, you'd think It was a little obvious I was one too. I mean not a lot of people walk around in a panda costume. In fact, I know that you're a mutant and your powers are..." He concentrated for a second, though there was no difference in the appearance of the panda suit he was wearing, "...Enhanced reflexes and accuracy. Why do you think I chose you to be my new friend and tour guide?" He rhetorically asked.
"As for your guns... Um, I think they're still at that bar I found you at... I guess we could go get them if you take me to somewhere fun too." He said, waiting intently for a reply.

"First lets go to the bar, and then i know the funnest place in the whole city of New York.. Do you know where my coat is? At this Kenzo points down. Looking down Quickdraw notices that his coat was never removed. " allright then lets go." at this Quickdraw walked out the door and didn't even look back knowing that Kenzo would follow. As he entered the main lobby the clerk behind the desk shot a disgusted look at Quickdraw. Ignoring her he simply walked out of the door and down the street towards the bar.
The night was humid and oddly quiet except for the ocasionalcar that drove by. The night was depressing actually, and for some odd reason the weather just brought Quickdraw down. Stopping he took a right and started down an alley. Soon realizing that this wasn't the alley. As he turned to leave the alley three figures cut off him and Kenzo from leaving the alley. "wow this is great."
((Just a note, you cant technically control my character(but in this case I don't care) to point at the jacket it think that's technically powerplaying. I don't care right now but it's considered bad RPing if you do that.))
Kenzo listened as his new friend explained the plan. He didn't really like the idea of returning to where those annoying girls were, but this Quickdraw guy said he would take him to the funnest place in the city, I guess that's okay... He thought to himself.
It wasn't long before Quickdraw left the room, and of course, Kenzo followed, closing the hotel room door behind them. Soon they made it down to the lobby. No one was about other than the clerk working behind the front desk. While the clerk had made an odd look at his friend, Kenzo in his panda suit seemed totally ordinary, or at least that's what it seemed when he received no reaction from the woman.
Quickdraw seemed to know where he was going as they made their way back to the bar, which is why Kenzo failed to comment when he turned the wrong way into an alley. Maybe this is a shortcut? He pondered. When the alley turned out to be a dead end Kenzo just followed his friend until he realized as well. When he did, and they attempted to exit the alley, they had been cut off by three figures,
"Bad idea..." He muttered under his breath, drawing his decorative sword and vanishing from the view of all around him. No one stopped him from having fun, and now these stupid mutants were gonna become his new form of entertainment.
"We got an invisible here guys! Can you see him with inferred Flame?" One said to his now fire-covered friend.
"No, he's got some good stealth... Can you his motion?" He asked the remaining goon.
"It's like hes not here... Hey, maybe he teleported off like a scared little kid" He joked, before the first one to speak grabbed the back of his head and fell unconscious.
The other then began panicking; throwing fireballs and telekinetic blasts in any random direction with almost no concern for the outlying environment; generally causing a scene.

Quickdraw realizing that this was his opertunity. He ran at the first man very quick and pushed with all his power and headbutted the guy square in the nose. " heh Another one bites the dust." As he said this the other goon shot multiple fireballs out of his hands. Quickdraw quickly rolled backwards dodging all of his oponents fireballs. " Cmon kid where are you?" As he said this the goon shot three more fireballs at him. Jumping to the side Quickdraw quickly dodged them again.
~ Jeeze this guy just doesn't stop!~ Doing this Quickdraw quickly runs towards the back of the alley. ~ Shit! Nowhere to go. Realing this he turned back towards the pyro, and realized that there was a wall of fire heading straight towards him. Looking around, Quickdraw soon realizes that there was a dumpster behind him. Quickly he jumped into the dumpster and sat for a few minutes. When he figured the firewall was done, Quickdraw peeked his head out of the top of the dumpster to see what had happened. As he looked around, he realized that there were now three figures laying on the ground instead of just two. " Hey kid you can come out now.. They are done.*mutters to self*, even though im sure you took out most of them.
(By the way sorry about the jacket thing.. I was extremely tired, remember. I will not let it happen again.)
Quickly dodging the goon's attempts to psychically bash him and burn him to a crisp, Kenzo soon moved away from the action, letting them expend their energy while his recovered. He didn't count on his new friend coming in and taking out one of them while he did so, but he wasn't complaining. Now he knew they really weren't going to hit him, the only one left was focused on someone else.
It wasn't long before his partner in crime got into as heated situation with the pyromancer, after all, he was fighting without his main form of attack against a dude who was literally on fire. Just when Kenzo thought his partner might be in a bad situation, considering that a huge wall of fire had just been summoned and was quickly heading forth, his buddy took cover in a trash can.
The pyromancer seemed to have forgotten about Kenzo altogether, and was now letting his guard down to concentrate on the wall of flames he had constructed. Seeing this as ample opportunity to strike, Kenzo just walked up to the man, pulled back into a ninjutsu stance, and punched the guy right in the spine. The man didn't have a chance to make a noise before he fell unconscious.
A little while later his friend eventually jumped back out of the dumpster, Kenzo chuckled a bit at the idea. When the man said he could come out, Kenzo just walked strait up beside him and shouted "Boo!" as he reappeared, laughing afterward.
"I'd shake your hand for a job well done, but then again, I'd rather not." He explained, chuckling the whole way through.

Nearly jumping out of his skin from the fright that Kenzo had given him Quickdraw turned and stared at his friend. "Haha your funny, and i swear there wasn't all that much in the dumpster just a few bags of rotten babies.... NOT!" Looking back at Kenzo to see if he got humor out it. He proceeded walking down the alley finally reaching the main street was a relief, and he could see the bar's sign flashing with different neon colors. "There's the bar.. Let's go check it out. I really need those guns. With this said he quickly sprinted through the street and didn't stop till he was at the bar. He entered the bar hoping that Kenzo was close by, he started walking towards the bar.
He stopped at the bar and asked the bartender "hey remember me.. I dropped some valuable things, and i really need them back.". The bartender had a frightened look on his face and quickly responded " I don't know what your talking about. but I am going to h-have to ask you t-two t-t-to leave, because we don't want no trouble around here."
Quickdraw turned around and started walking around the bar looking for his guns. After a moment he turned to Kenzo. "Kenzo where do you remember them dropping at?" His face was now angered and serious.
Kenzo laughed as his new friend talked, until he finished, to which Kenzo replied, "That's gross dude..." As he said this, Quickdraw turned to him, Kenzo just stared back with an odd face. Not too long after this they moved for the alley's exit.
Upon reaching the street, Quickdraw seemed to be relieved that there wasn't something else to get in their way, Kenzo was kind of disappointed, that was a little fun. His friend pointed to a flashing neon sign that indicated "satisfying beverages", whatever that meant. He had seen it before, and as Quickdraw had pointed out, that was the bar where he had found his new friend. Soon after, Quickdraw started running across the street like a crazed maniac. This guy is fun... Kenzo thought. Kenzo was a bit carefuller in his approach to the bar.
When they arrived at the pub, his new friend burst into the door, moved up to the bartender and seemed to threaten the bartender. Upon seeing Kenzo the man asked them to leave, stuttering the whole way through. The girls seemed to have gone, so Kenzo didn't feel much inclination to leave with his friend. Then Quickdraw asked Kenzo where he had left his guns, Kenzo pointed to the spot he had been seated, the guns were still there, though one had spilled it's ammo.

Excited to see his guns, Quickdraw picked them up. Both of the ammunition clips were gone. With this Quickdraw simply pulled out two more ammo clips and put them in the gun. With this he shot the Bartender a dirty look and walked out of the bar. He turned to tell his new friend something when he saw two people in the alley. One was a female that was blood splattered on the ground, while the other was a male running with a handbag.
Quickdraw quickly darted towards the scene in between strides to the scene he looked over at Kenzo. "Check taht guy for mutations will ya?" As they reached the female Quickdraw shouted for her to stay and that he'll be right back.
He was still waiting for an answer when he realize that the alley divided into two ways. With this Quickdraw quickly looked both ways. Finally seeing the man running to the right, Quickdraw booked it after him, preparing for a shot.
