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: When you first meet Desh, her bubbly personality can sometimes be a turn off. She can always find something to talk about, and loves to cheer people up. She’s very trusting, even though it has gotten her into trouble in the past. She only ever has a few close friends that know everything about her, however, even though she has a larger group of people she includes as friends. She can be blunt, but tried to stay classy at all times. Hobbies/ Interests: Running, photography, writing Job or part time job and description: None Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Being put into chains Special talents: Finding lost objects.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Desh tries to do the right thing, no matter what it is or how hard it is to accomplish. She generally wants everyone to get along and to respect each other’s differences. Which generally leads to her being good.
Mutations
Mutation description: Desh has the ability to shape shift into the form of a leopard. While she is in this form, she takes on the natural abilities that real leopard would have. Leopards, for those people who don’t know the difference between them and cheetahs, have distinctive dark brown rosettes (spots) set onto a lighter gold coat. Each leopard has a unique set of spots, and Desh is no different in this respect. She has distinctive spots rimming the outer corners of her eyes and several spots that are almost striped along her left side that mimics her scars as a human. While in her leopard form, she also displays traits that are found in real leopards. Examples of this include stealth (due to Leopards large paws which, absorb impact of footfalls and muffle sounds so that they are virtually silent in movement), increased agility (due to the highly flexible skeletons that allow for large jumps and maneuverability), night vision (due to the formation of guanine crystals that allow for the dispersion of light in the cornia in low light conditions), and heightened senses of sound (due to the mobility of the ears to pick up on a wider array of audio waves and to pinpoint locations of sounds). One of the unique features of the leopards is their ability to climb trees, which also transfers over to her while in her leopard form. She can use this to get onto ledges and trees in order to gain an advantage over opponents in a fight by having a higher elevation. While in “human” form nails are similar to claws. She can use these offensively when cornered or threatened, as they can easily scratch opponents. She also retains the leopards sensitive eyes and hearing, which serve the same uses to her in human form as in leopard form. Strengths: Helpful in a fight at close range with someone physically stronger. Also allows for sneaking up on enemies to avoid causing a scene and to sneak into and out of enemy territory. Weaknesses: Clothes don’t shift with her, so that can be a hassel. Injuries that are minor to her as a leopard may be more serious to her as a “human”. Can’t shift back to human form if she’s been forced into a collar.
Fighting Style
Explanation: She doesn’t hit extremely hard, but she’ll hit them fast. Pros for fighting style: Good with hand to hand and close combat. Cons for fighting style: No long range weaponry or protection from other weapons.
Faction Allegiance The X-men/ The Order/ The Kabal/ Other/ Unaffiliated: Unaffiliated
History Of Your Character: Desh has never known of a time that she didn’t have her powers. Most of her family members were born with the same powers as she has, so her parents taught her to control her abilities early on. She also learned at an early age that being a mutant gave her and her family a second class citizenship, something that pained her and her family for years. After she turned 18, her parents moved back to their home in Egypt, while she decided to stay in the states to work for integrating mutants into the human world.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Friends Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Nope Sample RP: Desh stepped out of the bus doorway into the dim light of the morning. It was just beginning to rain, leaving the rest of the world rushing to get to their destinations. She smiled and threw herself into the mess of humans, enjoying the luxury of blending into the rest of society. The rain brought with it a wind just cold enough to necessitate gloves, so she was able to cover her long nails. That, combined with the contacts that covered her pupils, let her fade into the human background. Most days she was comfortable looking less than human, but sometimes, it was nice to be able to do something normal and not be questioned. The last time she had been out and about with her claw-like nails showing, she ended up getting into an argument with some over-zealous soccer mom. She rolled her eyes, thinking back to the incident with the woman that afternoon. Desh has been just about to step into a crosswalk when a middle aged woman charged right in front of her, dragging two young boys by the hand behind her. One of the kids had a robot action figure in his hand. Upon being tugged too roughly by his mother to keep walking, he accidently dropped it, dangerously close to the line of traffic. Desh saw that the boy was about to make a grab for it before it got run over, and decided to help the kid out. She was closer anyway, so it was no big deal for her to reach down and hand it to the boy. He smiled up at her and uttered a quick thanks, but not before the mother noticed the exchange. She took in Desh’s appearance and promptly drew he children behind her body. “Don’t you get anywhere near my children, you freak! It’s trash like you that cause children to have nightmares and lost their families! Stay away from us!” the mother had shouted. Once she had finished making her scene, she turned around and stormed off, not even giving Desh the chance to defend herself. To this day, she had never known a woman to be so rude in front of her children. Desh continued on her way, silently enjoying her morning and looking forward to the wonderful afternoon of grocery shopping that the morning was promising.
