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.

The twisting tattoos become a lighter grey pattern in her fur, taking place on her leg. Everyday clothing style: Kylie likes the general, laid back look. A simple band T-Shirt accompanied with a nice comfortable set of jeans are enough to satisfy the girl. She fancies skinny jeans over a regular set, but will take what she can get. Usually she is seen wearing the same torn beat up old black canvas converse. Uniform: None. Sleepwear: Nothing says bedtime like a tank top and a pair of boxers. Miscellaneous clothing: Sometimes she is seen with a loose black collar around her neck, a silver plate with the word ‘Ky’ etched into it lays on the collar.

Character
Personality: Kylie is a relaxed, calm cool and collected girl. Though of course she can't afford not to be. Never one to judge, Kylie opens her arms wide to anyone who needs it. Kylie is never afraid to laugh, always with her sarcastic remarks she tries to look on the bright side of things while keeping a firm grip on reality. The girl is always willing to voice her opinion, unless there is a possibility of someone being hurt. Being very protective over her family and loved ones, Kylie will do near anything for these people even if it means going to the end of the earth to help them. Sometimes she gives into an inner instinct, seemingly acting in a doglike manner, but it doesn't happen often. All in all Kylie is a girl who's easy to get along with, and is always interested in meeting others.
Hobbies/ Interests: Kylie’s enjoys music, rarely seen without a headphone hanging out of her ear. Every genre appeals to her, though country doesn’t quite draw her in as much as others. If there is a video gaming system around, Kylie is sure to sniff it out. The girl loves all systems ranging from old school Nintendo, to updated Xbox 360.
Job or part time job and description: None.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: High pitched noises always frighten Kylie, hurting her over sensitive ears. She also fears being confined to an enclosed space, anything similar to a cage.
Special talents: At the age of thirteen, Kylie first picked up a guitar finding she had a knack for playing. Ever since then she has been improving her skills of the instrument.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Neutral. Kylie would never hurt a person at random, but if they had done something to deserve it she might not be as kind.
Mutations
Mutation description: Animal Shapeshifter Kylie is able to take her human form, and shift it into that of a wolf. This change happens rather quickly, far to fast for the human eye to spot how she makes the transformation. As she shifts, her body takes on the structure and characteristics of a wolf including heightened senses, speed, and strength. Though the transformation from human to wolf happens in mere seconds, the transformation from wolf to human takes much more time and effort. When in human form she still holds the senses of a wolf as far as senses, speed and strength go though at times her wolf like instinct seems to take over. It seems that even though she has taken the human physical structure, animals sense and see her as a wolf. The only animals that aren’t usually frightened off are either wolves, or canines of the general type. During a transformation her clothes drop to the ground as she shifts to her wolf form, for there is no place to store these articles of clothing. If distressed Kylie immediately shifts, almost like a defensive instinct.
Strengths: - Becoming a wolf allows Kylie to easily intimidate others, because who wouldn’t be scared of a snarling wolf. - Given agility speed and accuracy of a wolf, Kylie makes a tough target depending on whom she is placed against. - Having heightened senses, along with strength and speed, this gives her an edge on her surroundings.
Weaknesses: - Once injured Kylie is to remain in her wolf form until healed, for she wouldn’t have the strength to transform back into a human. - It takes Kylie anywhere from ten to forty minutes to return to her human form as it takes much effort and strength. - High pitched noises can easily reduce Kylie to a mound of fur on the ground, even during combat.
Fighting Style If growling and bearing her razor sharp teeth isn't enough to drive them away, she fights with pure rage.
Explanation: If there's anything she can sink her teeth into, it'll be torn and bloody in moments. Pros for fighting style: Usually does a great deal of damage, and inflicts quite a bit of pain. Cons for fighting style: Sometimes being a wolf just isn't enough, especially when your opponent is much stronger then you.
Faction Allegiance Unaffiliated.
History Of Your Character: Born into a normal family, a irregular girl by the name Kylie was brought into the world. Madeline and Roger Vayne were more then ecstatic about the addition to their house hold, being given a healthy baby girl meant the world to them and it was as if their dreams had come true. The Vayne’s were the ideal picture perfect family. Two beautiful children, both girls, along with a loyal Alaskan Malamute. Kylie and older sister Alexis both lived well being the offspring of two adoring parents. They could do no wrong in the minds of Madeline and Roger. Though something seemed peculiar about Kylie. Having an odd set of eyes, nobody could trace the genes from anyone within the family. After many questions were raised, everyone declared she was simply a special little girl and with that smiles were quickly exchanged. Soon Kylie became the wonder child of the Vaynes, receiving quite the bit of attention, slowly leaving Alexis to be the secondary child.
As years passed, Kylie grew accustomed to the overly bright spotlight. But of course she noticed how her sister was being treated, and out of a simple kind hearted desire to remain close with the girl Kylie always found ways to include her. Her sister meant the world to her, no matter how much everyone demanded they saw Kylie instead. Regardless of her attempts Kylie felt Alexis growing distant, and with that she felt their dog growing closer. She held an oddly strong bond with the animal, something that was almost to close to believe.
The wolf-like dog often shadowed Kylie wherever she went, keeping close tabs on the girl. It was almost as if the dog began to replace her sister, while the girl continued to grow further and further from Kylie. As this broke her heart, it also became increasingly easier. The dog, Demon, soon became the closest being to her. Out ruling her mother, her father, sister and friends. Kylie held an understanding with the animal, something she had never achieved with any human being. Though, of course, she couldn’t tell anyone that. Kylie’s life was filled with ease, never being placed under immediate distress or raging anger. Everything was like breathing for her, flowing along smoothly. Until that night reared its head.
Walking home from a successful shopping trip at the CD store, Kylie nearly danced through the alley ways buzzing with excitement. That was when everything went horrid, at least in Kylie’s icy eyes. When she became surrounded by aggressive men, her life took a drastic change from normal to abnormal. Within moments Kylie found herself atop one of them, snarling and growling in a way she had never known. As wrong as it felt, it also felt right. Her eyes set on the new patterns on her now furry arm, and next thing she knew she was running for home, newly discovered tail swaying behind her.
After what felt like many hours, Kylie returned to her human form. Darting into her home she grabbed the closest things, shoving them into her backpack. Without a second thought she was out the door, heading for a place she had only heard about. ‘Xavier’s Sister School for Gifted Youngsters’.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Googles a beautiful thing. Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Nope, first one. Sample RP:
Kylie nearly skipped through the alley, the plastic bag which now contained jewel CD cases and a printed receipt bouncing along with her. The cases clashed together gently, allowing a small noise to add musically to her humming. Finally she had managed to get her hands on the Pink Floyd CD she had been hunting down for months now, and was excited as ever to return home only to listen to it in pure bliss. Kylie never believed in all of that downloding nonsense, how is one able to support their favourite bands by stealing their music away? She much rathered buy out the old fashioned way, not to mention occasionally she got a decent poster out of it. It was a cool night, but thanks to the black hoodie that hugged her body she was the perfect temperature, her best pair of skinny jeans clinging to her legs nicely as the worn laces of her converse made little ticking noises with each step. She was truly excited.
The air smelled delicious around her, the freshly fallen snow mingling with the other outdoor scents in her nasal cavity just added to the magic of the night. Kylie's piercing blue eyes catching on everything in view, taking in the Scottish air that lingered. She sure loved where she lived, the refreshing scenery the kind hearted people and the warm homey sensation that hung around the streets. She wanted to spend the rest of her life there. She didn't know how drastically everything would change.
As the noise of scuffing shoes soon met her ears, Kylie looked up to see three shady men walking toward her. The looks in their eyes were enough to set her on edge. Their intentions were all but painted across their faces in bright neon colors. Suddenly Kylie felt every muscle in her body freeze as she became stiff as a board. After gaining much needed strength she spun around only to see two other men, the same bone chilling stares boring into her. A greasy voice sounded behind her, rolling into her ears in a tone she never wanted to hear. "Heya sweets, why dontcha' come with us. We'll have a lil' fun." Slight laughter broke out as the men closed in on her, and Kylie's heart began to beat erratically. Closing her eyes as tightly as she could Kylie braced herself for whatever was about to happen.
Then thing's took a turn she never would have expected. As the man placed one filthy hand on her shoulder a sudden rage burst through her, heat coursing through her body. Kylie's eyes shot open in that instant as she spun around, launching herself for the man. She felt a low growl escape her mouth as she tore into his shoulder, her teeth clamping down on him tightly. His scream shrilled through the night air, and suddenly everything fell silent.
As Kylie jumped back from the man she felt her lips curling back, the low menacing growl appearing once more. Feeling her ears pull back her head lowering, it was then that she knew something was off. Once the men scrambled away from her, dragging the injured one behind them she brought up a paw to feel her ear. As the paw caught her eye, she knew something very wrong. Studying the odd patterns on her now furry arm, everything suddenly felt surreal. Looking to the clothes that had only been on her body moments before, she gripped them within her mouth and began to run. It was the only thing she could do.
