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.

It had been a couple of months since Ricardo arrived at New York. On the day of his arrival he met a mutant in a bar. The mutant had told him about the Mutant School in town and how they helped mutants get better control of their powers, unfortunetally he didn't know where the school was so Rick had to look for it himself. And finally after months of searching he finally found it. He approached the big metal gates and called for someone to open the door for him.
"Hey, Miss T, there's a newbie at the gate," Johnathon said over the walkie. Tricity picked it up off her hip as she did an about-face and headed downstairs to the front doors.
"Alright, I'm on it, thanks." She pulled open the front doors and crossed the lawn, seeing a man around her age standing on the other side of the gates. 'Yes, more older mutants. We certainly need a few in this mansion,' she thought. Tricity mentally opened the metal gates to let him inside and gave a warm smile. "Hiya. My name is Delilah, but most call me Tricity. Whatever you prefer. How can I help you?"

Ricardo waited for several minutes 'till he started thinking no one was coming. Suddenly the metal gates opened by themselves startling Ricardo. He looked into the Mansion Grounds and saw a woman, probably around his age, walking towards him ''Hiya. My name is Delilah, but most call me Tricity. Whatever you prefer. How can I help you?" she said with a warm smile. He walked inside slowly as if he was afraid that this might be a trap. He relaxed after a few seconds and ofered his hand to the woman.
'' Hey, you can call me Rick. I heard this was place where mutants could gather and judging by how the doors opened I guess I'm in the right place'' He said with a grin '' Anyway. I need help controlling my powers. I can mimick the powers of people around me but I can't controll when and how I do this. Can you help me?''
She was about to extend her hand in reply to his own, but then suddenly stopped and stepped back a bit. 'At least he's honest!' she thought. "Hi Rick, it's a pleasure," she started, looking him up and down for a moment. "You can mimic other mutations, but you can't control it? Does that mean you can't control it at all? Or maybe sometimes...? I only ask because, well, some of the mutations in this mansion aren't all passive. Some can be aggressive, like my own. I can control electricity and I wouldn't want to pass that to you and get yourself hurt or hurt anyone else."
She ushered him onto the grounds and then mentally closed the gates behind her again. They began crossing the grass to head closer to the school. "I hope you don't mind the personal questions, but I'm sure you understand my precautions."

He noticed that she was was about to extend her hand but stopped and stepped back. She proceeded to explain her powers and to ask him what his control over his powers was. He felt a little embarrassed by the question as he had very little control on how and when he mimicked other powers.''Usually, I mimic the powers of the mutants around me without any warning.'' He said as she ushered him into the grounds and closed the gates.
As they crossed the grass he remembered. '' You said your powers are to control electricity. You mean like this?[/i] '' He extend his fist palm down, small sparks circled his hand, he slowly turned his palm up and opened his hand to reveal a small blue electric ball. After a few seconds he closed his hands dispersing the electricity. '' My control on the mimicked powers isn't really that bad I just need help on how to control when I mimic someone's powers. I'm just afraid of what might happen if I mimic to many powers at once.'' He stopped waiting for a response.
Tricity watched as her mutation passed to Ricardo. 'Wow.' "Hmm, well, we can definitely help you there. Not that I want to put you into solitary confinement or anything like that, but is it going to be a problem for you to be in the same room with several mutants at once?" she asked, wondering how Rick living here would be. It could prove difficult at times and possibly even dangerous. She never had to deal with a mutation this serious before. "I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, including yourself." They reached the doors and she pushed them open, leading them into the front hall. She handed him a welcome package with all the papers to fill out.

Rick compulsively opened and closed his hand trying to get rid of the annoying tingling in his hand caused by the electricity he had mimicked. He looked at the surprised looked in Tricity's face. He tried to hide the discomfort caused by the tingling. Tricity opened the doors and walked into the front hall. She proceed to give him the papers he needed to fill out.
''Quick question...Is there a place in the school where I can train? and someone to train me?'' Rick asked feeling kind of embarrassed by repeating himself so often. '' It's just that I'd like to get started on controlling this thing ASAP. If that's possible, that is.'' He said as he bent down on a nearby table to start on his entry papers.
OOC: I can make an NPC to train me if no one as the availability to R/P for a long period of time in the same place.
"Yes, I think it's best that we get you to train ASAP, actually. We have a place called the Danger Room. It's very high tec, so I'll be your guide through the process. Plus, I can help you with your training. Why don't you pick out a room and I'll meet you in the Danger Room in an hour or so?" she suggested, pulling the map out for him to find his way around the school. "The mansion can get a bit confusing... The dorms are upstairs and the Danger Room is here on the first floor."

Rick heard Tricity talking about their danger room and how she would be the one to train him. Quite frankly he was proud that the leader herself would be helping him. '' Thanks for the help. I'll just go find a room and I'll join you in the danger room in a while'' He said before heading of in the direction of the rooms.
