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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Mike nodded to her and walked a little faster to catch up with Daria.
"Sarah, go make sure Ruby's still all right... and that Emmy is still here."
"But..."
"No buts. This is important."
Sarah stalked off, muttering, but nodding.
Mike watched her leave, then looked back to where they were heading. "I didn't want her to hear this or be able to carry it back to Emmy. Emmy's GOING to go find Johnny... I could see it in her head, even if we stop her, she'd just keep trying until she managed it. And when she does... I've managed to do something that will make shit go down fast when he probes her mind... which I know he will. So the question is which of us will be on hand to beat the ever loving SHIT out of the sadistic little fuck once it does... or if we both should," he said without preamble. He knew she wasn't in any mood to beat around the bush.

Daria listened carefully, a small smile on her face.
She drove the clw on her index finger into the wall with ease leaving a two inch hole. "You do it. I'm not dumb, I don't trust myself. I'll go in the sake of someone needing to help with Emmy, but Johnny won't live if I go anywhere near him, if i so much as SMELL as him." she warned.
"So you can do it. Besides, I don't think thats good for our relationship. Can't you imagine the marriage counselor. 'What can I do for you?' I killed my husband's brother way back when and it hasn't been settled.'" she snorted. She was still deeply upset over that and ashamed of her lack of self control but she still refused to let Mike into ther mind which was odd for the both of them since they were so used to being mentally connected.
"Can't blame you. Frankly, the little shit deserves it... but it wouldn't have done any good telling Emmy that. I needed her calm so I could plant a mental trap in her head for him." He managed a satisfied smile. "The minute he touches her head, it hits him. He won't be able to THINK a lie without being wracked with insane guilt... which will make him tell the truth even if he doesn't want to."
"Best way to keep her away from him? Let him flat-out say what a piece of shit he is."
"As long as you aren't seething at me, I'm fine," Mike said simply. "ANd forgive me for being bossy back at the cave... I needed her non-pissed for a few more minutes to finish prepping her to go visit Johnny."
He stopped behind her, leaned over and kissed the back of her head. "He can try whatever he wants, but frankly, we're smarter than him. And better than him. And that's what'll win out in the end."

Daria was seething at everyone and for some strange reason she wouldn't let Mike back in her head.
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry too. I'm having issues." she laughed weakly. Her hand fully bandaged when Mike came up behind her she leaned back into him, putting his arms around her.
Mike let her sink back into his arms, wrapping them around her waist and leaning forward to kiss her cheek as her head leaned back onto his shoulder. She could feel his mind against hers, not trying to get in past her resistance, but washing over hers outside her resistance in comforting, loving caresses.
"It's going to be all right, baby. We've all been through too much here for a little shit like Johnny to get the better of us." Really, it was sort of true. Compared to Whitmore, Kage and Eliza, Johnny was nothing.

"He's family though. I mean, he's your family." she said. "I just...I take that seriously. No matter how mean my grandparents are they're still my grandparents and I'd put my life on the line for them in a minute. I hate to say anything bad about the kid just cuz he's your brother." she bit her lip. "He's just having issues too. Or thats what I tell myself."
"Well, frankly, unless I can make a deep scan of his mind and see that yes, he really is sorry and really did change and regret what he did, I'm not about to give him any sort of benefit. The only relative I have is Sarah, that's how I look at it. Maybe he'll manage to do something to get himself added back to that list, but right now as far as I'm concerned, I don't have a brother."

"Well there is one less girl around." Ruby announced. "I just sensed my sister."
"How do you do that?" Jamal asked.
"We're all telepathecally linked." Ruby explained.
"Is everyone psychic now a-days?" Jamal whined.
Daria laughed.
Ruby grinned and kissed Jamal before morphing into a fox and running off.
Daria watched Jamal watch Ruby. "turn around before your eyes pop outta your head."
Jamal glared at her. "Listen Cat-lady," he said knowing well that he wasn't to call her Kitty under any circumstances. "Are you gonna tease me the whole time Ruby and I are together?"
Daria laughed. "I sure am." she said smiling and flashing her fangs. "Why?"
Jamal opened his mouth to say something but didn't. "I was just checking." he chickened out. He looked to Mike. "Hey, man. You're supposed to have my back here, you know, mano-e-mano."
Sarah snorted. "Please, he's not gonna defend you. He and Daria..."she trailed off and whispered something in Jamal's ear that made the boy cringe.
"Ew, yo, that is just Too Much Info."
"Sarah!" Daria exclaimed.
"You don't know what I said, you can't get mad."
Daria simply twitched her ears.
"oh...right." Sarah said reminded of the girls super hearing.
"What?" Hairpin asked confused. Dafi jumped on Mike's head.

Daria grinned and kissed Mike, and then stuck her tongue out at Jamal.
"Whatever man. She got you whipped." he said flicking his hand like he was holding a whip and making a lashing noise.
"No I don't." Daria argued. Don't bother. If it were something that I didn't think we could handle then I'd say we should. But this is something we can fix first and talk about later..
