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: Deimon is very patient and kind natured. She’s always willing to give a lending hand, and actually enjoys helping others. She is always trying to make things fun for everyone, or brighten everyone’s spirits. She isn’t very negative, and it takes a lot to ruin her mood. You couldn’t exactly call her bubbly or perky, just cheerful. She doesn’t show too much depression or anger, instead she just bottles it all up. When she’s to a point where a normal person would explode she just needs some peace and quiet.
She is a deep thinker, in the sense that she’ll just stare off into space for hours at a time if no one distracts her. So, she can easily entertain herself. She also has an overactive imagination…. Meaning things will go rather wild in her imagination if she doesn’t keep an eye on it. Because of her crazy imagination, she’s gotten really good at giving advice, or helping people through hard times, since she can imagine what it’s like to go through similar problems.
She’s just as comfortable with friends as she is with strangers, she’s a people person to put it simply. Though sometimes it’s rather difficult to understand her. She tends to use words that she believes fit her needs better rather than the ‘proper’ word. She doesn’t use flashy or elaborate words, but she gets her meaning across with the same force.
She is a country girl through and through. Everything about her is simple. She doesn’t care if she has the latest tech or coolest games, in many ways she finds them just a complete waste of time. Being as active as she is, it’s second nature to just go walking or running rather than watch tv. She’s more likely to be able to fix a truck or fence then even run a game consol.
Deimon doesn’t ask for help, or accept offered assistance very easily, even if it’s from her friends. She’s not exactly over confident, just stubborn, and doesn’t notice when she’s bitten off more then she can chew. She is always trying to prove she can handle things on her own, and then usually ends up crashing and burning…. Hobbies/ Interests: Hiking, Baseball, horseback riding, reading, cooking, traveling, Volunteer work at local animal shelters, wood working, running, rock climbing. Job or part time job and description: none Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Swimming in water that isn’t clear enough to see through or with fish life(She doesn’t really know why, it just terrifies her.), Being in unknown cities at night, Special talents: Overactive imagination, fast runner, sports(She is a natural athlete, probably from a life of hard work.),
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: No doubt about it, Deimon is good through and through. She couldn’t hurt a fly on purpose… She wouldn’t consider doing anything to harm another being. Ever. She’s much too busy trying to make someone smile.
Mutations
Mutation description: Deimon is able to ‘transport’ other people and herself into what she calls the Mirror World. The Mirror world is much like a realm in her ‘mind’ that takes the form of a crumbling city, an eternal darkness over the place though for some reason anyone there can see completely fine. It literally requires something that can create reflections to use the ability, hence why it is a ‘mirror’ world. She can hold only one person inside the Mirror World for up to five hours, though she can remain there as long as she desires. Strengths:
Avoiding conflict in general. If she were attacked she could either transport herself or the other person into the mirror world to avoid the encounter entirely.
Hiding. If someone were looking for her for any reason, she would be able to send herself inside the Mirror world so as not to be found. Weaknesses:
The air inside the Mirror World is absolutely lethal to Deimon. Small doses is relatively safe, but if she spends more than 24 hours inside the world she can/may die from the poison. It doesn’t harm other people. Since it is her power, there is nothing that can be done to stop the poison from weakening, and even killing her. Her body won’t fight the poison, as it’s read to be a part of her body. Even healers would have a near impossible time spotting the poison.
She is only able to send someone or herself into the mirror world once a day. Any more times than that is impossible. She just doesn’t have the energy for it.
If a more destructive mutant is sent into the Mirror world and begins destroying the anything there, it will not only cause such immense pain to Deimon that she can lose consciousness, throwing the person out of the world instantly.
Fighting Style
Explanation: She can’t fight. At all. She wouldn’t even hit someone. Pros for fighting style: n/a Cons for fighting style: Well she can’t defend herself…
Faction Allegiance Unaffiliated
History Of Your Character Deimon grew up just outside of a small town in Wyoming with four older brothers and one younger sister. With her father being a rancher childhood was spent hard at work, learning the trades of the ranch, honing skills that would be needed to keep up with her brothers. She had only a handful of friends since there were so few children her age. Life was peaceful and quiet, little to no crime, no marriage or family problems, little underage drinking or drugs, over all there was near nothing that would cause someone with the X-gene to ‘awaken’.
It wasn’t until her Sophomore year when her class went on a European ‘field trip’ for a week that things started to get a little weird. Everywhere they went, museums, fountains, castles, wherever a reflection was she started seeing images of something. Always the same image, a crumbling city. Days passed and she didn’t think too much of it, just that the stress must be causing hallucinations. The last night they had decided to go to a festival of sorts. Of course, this festival had one of those mirror houses, and since none of the Wyoming teens had ever been inside one, it was at the top of their list. Only a few minutes into it Deimon was starting to see that crumbling city once more, only this time it was in every mirror, everywhere she turned she would see a different part of the city, as if she were really there.
She probably shouldn’t have touched one of the mirrors during the time, because the second her fingers touched the glass it was as if her head were being ripped apart and then put back together. She was only in the mirror world for a few moments but since she hadn’t worked up a strong enough immunity to the poison to even enter the world, she was hospitalized several days after. She doesn’t even know how she got out. When she was finally able to go home things were peaceful again, though she could still see that mirror world. Over time she started to understand what this world was, how to enter it, and after a long period how to take one other person with her.
After graduating from high school she decided to travel to try and develop more control over the ability.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: My friend. She was looking for X-men related forums to affiliate our forum with. Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Nope. Sample RP:
There were both pros and cons to growing up in such a low populated area. Pro number one. If you found out you had some strange power one day, the chances of someone seeing you’re state of panic were incredibly small. Pro number two. There was plenty of room for practice whatever power you had. Pro number three. Everyone was related so if someone did find out, the chance of them ratting you out was slim. Okay, maybe not everyone. But if you weren’t related your family had known each other for generations. There were probably more pros, but for every pro there was a con. Of course, when you got down to it, there was just one real danger. If you needed help, it would be pretty blasted hard to find it….
It had been only a week since high school graduation and already Deimon found she sort of missed the place. Sitting out on the porch of her family’s house she lazily watched the pasture on the other side of the narrow road. Every once in a while she would spot one of their many cats hopping around in the long grass, a grin touching her lips each time. Farther in the distance she could see her Uncle’s ranch, him and his hands driving the cattle into a different pasture. The pasture Deimon had been watching to be exact.
Suddenly she blinked, finally realizing that the whole was completely empty. All her other brothers were off at school and wouldn’t be home until the end of summer, her father up in Jackson Hole for work and her mother and little sister helping her grandma run the family shop in town. Why hadn’t she noticed that earlier? This was the ideal time to actually practice! Almost laughing at herself, she hopped to her feet. It might be a good idea to go to the usual spot, just in case someone came home early. Crossing to the garage, it took only a moment to lift her mountain bike off the wall and off she went. Maybe today she’d see how long it took until she could feel the effects of the poison, not a dangerous douse of course. After all, how was she supposed to grow if she didn’t test her limits?
You know the rest.
