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.

"What I meant to say is it is improper for me to wrestle. I was allowed only to take courses that taught self disipline and defense. In japan, wrestling isn't something women do. Even sumo wrestling is quite different from american wreslting.
"I took ballet and when I asked to take a fighting class, I was put in Kendo. Which I did for five years."

"You know, I've yet to spar with a martial artist of any kind." Desiree said, not meaning to imply a match between the two. "A combination of our techniques in a sparring match might prove to be poetry in motion." she added, smiling politely at Ruki.
Ruki let her eyes roam off of the bed spread and onto the floor, sliding to her robe and then up the bed spread of Desiree's bed and right to her face. Ruki then qucikly looked away,
"I find it hard to comprehend how the use of a staff and grappling can be...poetry in motion as you say. But perhaps things that do not seem right together fit later on."
(I don't belive you just said that) Hina said (ow!) she exclaimed as the brush hit her forhead and scratched it.

Desiree leaned towards Ruki. "Darlin', you never pair something, or someone up with something, or someone similar. The less alike two things are, the better they are together." Desiree said, smiling sweetly at Ruki.
Ruki became flustered beyond repari then and, after glancing at Desiree she looked down at the doll and then at the floor and then at her feet. When she finally decided to rest her eyes on a patch on the bed she stumbled to speak.
"I..um..I think that..I uh.." she closed her mouth and breahted deeply. "I am going to go to sleep." she said with a half smile. "I do belive to lack of rest may be getting to me."
(Yeah that explains the odd behavior, good job)
Ruki pulled the sheets back on the bed and slipped under them, laying on her back so that her long blue-black hair cascaded over the pillow with an erie glow.

Desiree watched Ruki for a few more minutes, her head rested on her pillow. She kept thinking about Ruki, but eventually drifted off into sleep as well.
When the sun broke the moon's reign and night turned to day, Ruki had already awoke. She was already dressed in baby-doll fashion and complacently combing Hina Oni's hair.

Desiree stretched and sat up, the sheet falling foreward. She dind't bother to cover her chest, or to cover herself behind some object while she got dressed. She slowely got dressed in her customized outfit (see picture in profile, cept no sword or bows/arrows), and sat down on her bed. "Again, I'm sorry about Soul last night. I'm going to head to the gym, you wanna come darlin'?" she asked Ruki.

"Well... yeah I was planning on it." Desiree told Ruki. She was honestly hoping someone would be at the gym who she could wrestle, since Ruki apparently didn't want to.
"I'm going to get breakfast, I think. I skipped dinner last night." Ruki slid off of the bed and, without thinking about what Hina would do, she added. "You can come with me if you would like to. " She bowed. "I do not know much about wrestling but I am sure it is difficult on an empty stomach."

"Actually, I am kind of hungry." Desiree said. She sniffed the air and thought for a second. "Well I can lead you to the kitchen." she added, standing up.
"I would like that." She said opening the door for Desiree even though she was used to having doors opened for her. "You can smeel food from all the way in here?"

"I can smell a restaurant from over a mile away, so yes I can pick out a kitchen in a mansion." Desiree said with a chuckle. She made a mental note that there was a Thai rstaurant in Orleans, New York. She made her way out the door, and grabbed onto it. She'd close it once Ruki left.
"That is a very nice power." She said walking out. Then, in a low voice she said to Hina-Oni "You cannot get away with your snide remarks for long, Doll."
(DO we forget who is really in charge here?) the doll asked ina commanding voice. Ruki followed Desiree to the dining hall.
