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.

Character
Personality: Brian is a rather calm and gentle person but he is more of a loner. He only likes company of people he truly trusts. He is always respectful and is most of the time silent thinking more about things then speaking about them. The only thing that seems to be annoying him are people that shamelessly abuse their powers or bully others. He wouldn’t hesitate to give them a taste of his powers. For the rest he just looks after himself without bothering others too much. Even though all of this he can get cruel or even sadistic when he wants it because of his powers. Hobbies/ Interests: Mostly his hobby’s are reading, listening to music (mostly metal or rock) and working on his laptop (he knows a lot about informatics). He is also a big movie fan. He has a fascination with ancient weapon like swords ECT. Especially the oriental ones intrigue him.

But most of the times he just takes care of himself and does as he sees fit. But even though he is mostly a respectful person he isn’t a forgiving one. If you ever get him angry he will make sure you pay for it. In that case he can be very cruel and sadistic.
Mutations
Mutation description: Psychic Dream and sleep control: Brian’s Brain is constantly emitting brainwaves that control sleep. By focusing himself he can make several people in a radiouse around him fall asleep. His power has a range of 10 to 20 (If he focuses extremely hard, but this causes more draw back on him) feet, and he can put up to 3 people to sleep at one time. If he would put a fourth person to sleep the person that he put to sleep first will wake up ect. He can only maintain 3 people asleep at the same time and any new sleepers will cause the first one to be put to sleep to wake up. Once asleep the sleep lasts an hour or two before waking up again (this is standard if the person affected by it already is tired they can sleep even longer). For the people he put to sleep he can control their dreams while he is still awake deciding if they are bad ones or happy ones as he can reshape their dreams as he sees fit. In the dreams the dreamers can really feel pain or other feelings inflicted on them as if it were real but ones they wake up the pain fades as if it never happened because it still stays a dream. He can do that by making his victims brain think that whatever happened in the dream is real. If he kills somebody in their dream they will be forced awake but they will feel very sick and tired as if they haven’t slept for several days. People that are put to sleep by him can be easily woken up by somebody who isn’t asleep or by other external factors that can wake a person up (something that causes pain to a sleeping person can result in waking the sleeper up). Psychics with the same or higher mental strength can resist being put to sleep. They can block out the brain waves that causes the other people to fall asleep. To put the people in sleep he needs them to be in his range once they are asleep he can control their dreams as long as they are in his control radiouse (this area is linked to his mental strength. The more mental strength he has the larger the area.)
A passive ability of his power is that he can sense and memorize the brain wave pattern of anybody he meets besides of people that have higher mental strength then him. This allows him to visit them in their dreams when both he as the person he is targeting are asleep. Like this he can converse with that person or perform a dream take over to turn the persons dream in a nightmare if he wants to haunt the person. This can happen with only one person at a time and Brian doesn’t needs to be in a certain radius of the person (this is decided trough his mental strength). As soon as he wakes up or leaves the dream the dream is no longer taken over by him either.
A downside of his powers is that most of the time he is sleepy himself. It helps him make his dreams but it can become rather bothersome as at occasions he can fall asleep himself. He also tends to sleep rather long. Normally this is manageable but apparently the more he uses his ability the more tired he becomes himself. This sleep is dreamless and so renders him unable to use his sleep inducing and dream manipulating powers during his naptime.
Strengths: He can put people to sleep / He can hurt people in their dreams by turning them in nightmares/ He can weaken and sicken people by killing them in their dreams.
Weaknesses: The sleepers can be woken up/ Psychics can resist his powers or fight it to lessen the effect / Long range fighters can stay out of his area of effect so he is defenseless / Using his powers for too long can cause him to fall in a dreamless sleep rendering him powerless.

History of Your Character: Brian grew up in a rather rough neighborhood around the Belgium capital city of Brussels. He lived with his older brother up till the moment his parents got divorced and his brother went away with his father. Brian always was a quite boy who was turned into himself and spend most of his time studying or reading. This caused that he was generally disliked by everybody at his school and he only had a few friends who eventually turned away too because they were afraid to be picked on too. It eventually became a habit that he got beaten up from time to time just because the others felt like it and they disliked people like him who wanted to study hard to actually get somewhere in life.
He constantly considered his life pretty miserably as the only things that cheered him up where fantasy story’s he used to read. At night he would have all kinds of nice dreams that helped him gather his courage to tackle the next day again. He hadn’t had a clue yet that those dreams meant much more than the normal dreams of other people and soon he would find out that instead of a normal bookworm who got picked on every day he was actually something quite special. One day he was on his way back to home while he decided to take a detour to the local book shop to buy a new one to add to his large collections when several older guys followed him planning to rob him.
After a bit Brian was beaten up and throwed in an alley out of the view of others so they wouldn’t come and help the kid out. When they pulled out knives to threaten him he actually freaked out knowing that they might kill him and suddenly it happened. In his panic he suddenly saw that they started to yawn and before he know it his assaulters all fell down apparently deep asleep. Still freaked out he didn’t hesitated and runned for it.
As time passed Brian came to realize that it was he who put them asleep. In the following years he started to get more control over his powers causing him to realize he could get his revenge on all the people that liked to pick on him by tormenting them in their dreams and soon they started to realize there was something wrong with Brian and instead of picking on him they got scared of him. From then on Brian’s life started to look better and he took his time enjoying his powers.
By the time he got 18 he was the best student in his school and his powers had developed quite well too. He could easily put several people to sleep and control their dreams as he sees fit. After finishing his school he often wondered what he should do with his life as he disliked the way of life in Belgium. Eventually he made his mind up after hearing that the largest concentrated mutant community’s where in America. America was the perfect place to start a life of your own and soon he had his departure set up and took off to America.
Thanks to some friends of his mom he was able to get a small apartment where he could stay until he found something definite where he could stay instead. As he looked out of the room of the apartment building he grinned as he realized how much his life had changed and he just knew that he was gona have a hell of a fun time here.
Role-play where did you learn about this site?: From my brother Bjorn Pitschon who quit it for now. Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: none Sample RP:
Brian yawned as he walked out of the school. IT was a rather fascinating subject they had studied today but he had been practicing his powers yesterday. It seemed the more he uses them the more tired he became himself but he didn’t really cared. Discovering his abilities was the most awesome things that ever happened to him but maybe he just should take a little nap just to be sure he would be awake long enough to make his homework. Grinning he walked away noticing people glaring at him and avoiding him. They used to bully him but apparently a mysterious nightmare plague caused them all to back off. Those where really fun times when he taught back about it. Grinning even wider he wanders off to his home.
Halfway home he saw the guys that used to pick on him picking on another kid who seemed to be close to crying. Curious he walked over tilting his head lightly looking at them “Is there a problem here people?”. They looked up smirking as they saw him. “Well well look at that … the bookworm is talking to us … Scram you freak before we give you a beating as well.” He lifted the kid up by his collar as it was obvious that they were after his money too. Pleading the boy looked at Brian for help who just stood there for a moment. Grinning he nodded “Very well then I won’t bother you people any further … Goodnight.” They looked surprised as he said that but the moment he walked around them they all started to yawn barely able to keep their eyes open “W…What … What are you …” But before they finished their sentence they all fell down fast asleep.
Looking over his shoulder he looked at the stunned kid smiling kindly. “You better hurry up home before they wake up … Because it looks that they won’t be having happy dreams tonight.” The kid rapidly thanked him before dashing of while Brian looked down on the guys on the ground. They where squirming and muttering in their sleep and whatever they where dreaming about it wasn’t pleasant. But Brian knew all too well what they were going trough as it was he who designed their nightmares. Yawning even harder he walks up muttered. “I could really use a nap now … Making dreams is surprisingly exhausting.”
Cool! Welcome to MRO!
