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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
(Okay didn't know if I needed to make a new thread or not. Just didn't want to add another idea on the new plot thread)
So I was brain storming at work today and stumbled across an idea.
I propose we add some kind of mutate-locating device like Cerebro into each of the factions or only two or just one. Whatever works. This way, factions can seek out mutates in the world instead of everyone just magically appearing in New York.
Adding something to the n00b guide would inform new members of it and if a person wants to join a faction, they can appear on the locator. The factions fly wherever and battle (or not) and pick them up, taking them to New York. From there, the mutant can do as s/he pleases: stay with the group, go to another, whatever.
This way the factions continue as they are right now and newcomers can get some interesting rping in very quickly. Extremely violent mutants would attract the Order, wanting them to join while the X-men would want to try and stop him/her. The Kabal...well, that's where I far short. I know they have done some mutant grabbing from around the world. They could continue to do that, or they could just go after the mutants they really like. I don't know.
This is the best part though. The X-men can finally use their X-jet! (They have one rihgt?) Plus the Order can make a bigger better one to blow it up! JKJK

I believe the X-men do have a Cerebro in the basement of the mansion on this site. They just lack the powerful psychic required to operate it. Note that I'm all for using the X-jet, and scouting out mutants outside New York. I think we have some missions in the works outside New York scouting people, but I'm not sure.
It would be interesting, however, to have some sort of way the Order and the Kabal can search for strong recruits. My only worry there would be that it's kind of difficult to orchestrate. Super Computers usually are. I believe a past MRO thread had an X-men fighting the AI of one such computer...
The mansion has a cerebra, the other factions do not. It isn't often used since we don't have many psychics around (the last time was Cassiel during the Registration Plot), but it has at least been discovered (Poking the mansion's secrets to see if they wiggle)
From what I've heard around the Cbox was that physics were kind of frowned for a choice of character. I don't know if that is true or not, but if so, how would Celebra be used at all?
For the other factions, a super computer could be an idea. However, one doesn't need to throw it out of realism. If it just searched through current news stories or something like that I don't think it would be a problem.
The main point behind this whole thing is to expand to different parts of the board, and to allow new characters some interesting first experience while also allowing more rping for the older members already in the established groups. Do y'all think that would help or is it one of those "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of deals?
I think we have a pretty good system in place for getting characters to the factions. If someone ever has trouble figuring out what to do, it isn't hard for them to ask for help coming up with ideas to get where they need to go. If someone wants to be a student found by Cerebra, they could ask and we could work something out.
I don't think that supercomputers are necessary for the other two factions. Their best recruiting method is looking for people who share their ideals, which can only really be done the old fashioned way: by meeting them and talking to them. Searching news stories for (trouble causing?) mutants as possible recruits doesn't require anything fancier than a newspaper or access to an internet search engine.
