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.

Think of those who have gone above and beyond their norm to achieve new heights in this month. Leave links to the amazing things they have written recently so we can all see how amazing they are!
Seconding nominations is not necessary (nor is it necessarily prohibited.)

Although she hasn't been with us all that long, I would like to nominate Creia. I've been really impressed by everything that she's done thus far. A couple of notable threads:

I agree with all of the current nominations, as well as throwing in Cafas's name into the mix! I have been around a lot in many RPing communities throughout the years, and the one thing that i have seen as being crucial to a site's success is a large amount of people being willing to put forth ideas, no matter how big or small, and keep an open mind to new ideas as well. Granted, MRO isn't exactly lacking when it comes to fresh ideas; it is, in fact, the most well-run site I have ever participated in . It's still good to see people putting forth all of the effort that they can! Cafas is one of those people!
Aside from that, he is also enjoyable to thread with! For reference i put forth the Cthuhlu Christmas thread, where Cafas took charge and even cuddled poor Koga after being sent careening into a mattress shop XD... Maybe I'm exaggerating there, but hey look, a link!

I agree with Saph and add 'Ey Coppa! To the thread list, where Cafas begins exploring the more... artistic... sides to his mutation (towards the end of pg 3 and onto pg 4)
Also worth mentioning would be his internal monologues which have the perfect balance of sarcasm, wit and honesty, present in most -if not all- posts IC by Cafas
. It's still good to see people putting forth all of the effort that they can! Cafas is one of those people!
