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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Nah, you didn't get that far off. Voting is from the 1-15th (for the previous month), and nominations are at the end of the month (for the current month).
It looks like we had a tie! Congratulations Circe and Martin, mutants of the month for May!
That means that everyone else needs to get their rears in gear and get on those nominations. The next poll starts on the first, and we have no candidates yet! Don't forget to nominate someone who you feel is doing an exceptional job this month. Find those people who are going above and beyond and excelling beyond their norm. Don't forget to explain why you are nominating them and if applicable, post a link to a recent post they have written that you feel really shows off why they should win.
I nominate Lori for MOTM. Her posts are well written and the whole character of Lori is just fun to read about. I first read about her in the wonderful story Desperate Times and had my first opportunity to RP with her back in Nets, Balls, Rackets, & Adapteds. Even her solo posts, like Flawless are a captivating read. I think it's high time this character was honored as MOTM.

First: Thanks a lot to everyone. Second: I would like to nominate our local librarian Kealey for MOTM. Her posts are well written and always come with this pinch of humor that makes them an experience to read. Warning: This link may lead to addiction.

I second that nomination, Martin. Kealey's threads have been interesting lately, whether she's running from giants or talking about science fiction with Shin. Her thread with Jacen and Roland is a real fun read, setting her up for interesting developments and emotions galore!
nominations technically are supposed to last from 1-15th and then poll up 15th-end of month usually. but we got all outta wack when I was away!
