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.

LoL of course you can join Henri! Most of the people have not even posted yet so we're still in the opening and intro phase. Just look over the zones, see if there's anyone you want to mingle with or jump into one of the others by yourself if it looks interesting. I'll post the Blank Slating of everyone once people start to mingle a bit more.

Well if one of you wants to play it off like that it's fine with me. I did post so that everyone in the partying area of Central Park would be affected. Except for those who are not in costume. They would look and their clothes and remember who they were. But if you want to step out of bounds briefly or run into an NPC Adapted, that would protect you as well. Unless you really want to run around thinking your Jigsaw.

Hey all! this is your friendly, neighborhood water-bender! Anyways, I just wanted to pop in and leave a message for everyone! The Halloween thread is looking great! I'm having a blast reading everyone's posts! Anyways, I was having this discussion earlier and it since we're getting closer to the end of the month, I just wanted to see who was up for keeping it going into November or ending it by Halloween night (I'll start last thread either this coming weekend or monday the 25th.
My idea was to snatch up a small group of us into a final thread to end the story, stopping the young Addams girl and restoring everyones persona. So far I have Myself, Mirror and a couple others who definitely want to be involved. If you would like to sign up for the final section, please say so here.
Anyways I know everyone is having fun and that some people really have been just plain busy, and that's fine. It happens. Just wanted everyone's input. Thanks!!! If you would like to continue thread into November to give yourselves a chance to play a bit more as your character in persona mode, please say so here.

I'm cool to have it wrapped up by Halloween, that way it has a date instead of peetering off into oblivion, there is a specific ending which has to be worked towards. Just mt thougts on the matter. If it doesn't look like it'll end in time it can always be extended by a couple of days later. ~ Verdy

Okay all the time is upon us. This is the one week warning. I will be wrapping up the Halloween thread with one last thread. It will start on either November 1st or November 3rd. I threw in a little extra time so people can play about but it looks likes some of the threads are starting to wind down. Anyways, I will start this last thread either of those two days. The list I have for the final battle is...

Okay ladies and gentlemen! We are closing in on the end of the Halloween thread and I just wanted to stop by and say that Job Well Done! You all did great! Even if you did not participate, I could feel your collective support and that meant a lot. Anyways I also wanted to post here some clarifications because now that it is coming to an end, I’m sure you are all wondering “Hey Jorge! How is my character going to get their memories back? You best tell me before I cut you!” SO! Before you all descend into a rabid mob and hang me up by my toenails, let me reassure you that your characters will get their memories back. And for some clarification let me post here how Christanna’s abilities work:
Christanna
Powers: Personal Memory Swiping – Christanna’s abilities consist of the abilities to send out a large wave of personal memory stealing energy. Once a target (or targets) are affect all their personal memories are siphoned off of them and are pulled into her own head. She stores the memories, but once person is affect, she is no longer connected to them. They simply are confused and have no idea who they are so they go by what they are wearing. It is only when she has released these energies will people gain their memories back and these will strike fast. The returned memories will clash into whatever personality the victim has adopted during the blankslating and there is an internalized struggle. The shock of having their own memories thrust back into them will cause one of three reactions. Either the victim will remember everything that has happened since the blankslating, or their returning memories will be such a shock they will forget that time entirely, or it will be a mish-mash and the victim will only remember bits and pieces.
For those of you affected by Christianna’s powers, it is up to how which way you will go. Either your character can remember everything they did, none of it, or only bits and pieces. Discretion is up to you.
As for Adapted’s, their abilities will not return a person’s memories. Christanna has already done the damage to the victim so an adapted will have no effect on them. BUT if an Adapted gets close to Christanna, if they are a full null, they will cancel the girl’s abilities. This will cause her mutation to cease and release everyone’s personal memories that she stole to return to their place of origin.
Anyways I just wanted to post this as clarification. Please don’t lynch me. All your characters will return to normal, just prolly with a migraine. Enjoy the end of the Halloween Thread!
