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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
Well, seeing as we've had costumed delusions for Halloween, and the March of the Christmas trees, I was thinking that maybe we could do the obligitory holiday-gone-wrong for none other than...
<3<3<3 St. Valentines Day. <3<3<3
The main idea I had was that a mutant with pheromone powers causes a group to fall madly and obsessively in love with him/her. Now, when I say a mutant, this could also possibly mean:
- One mutant, as stated, male or female. - A pair of mutant twins, one male one female. - The same as above, only rather than being mutant, perhaps they are merely ugly humans with pheromones powers granted by the M drug (in the case of twins, I imgine it could be feasible for both to have the same power, due to the similarities in DNA. I have absolutely no scientific knowledge however, so this is all assumption)
Basically, feeling jilted, lonely, mischievous, or whatever, the antagonist affects a large group with their pheromones. The possible outcomes of this could be as follows:
- Everybody falls in love with the pheromone releasers. Because of the jealousies that everyone is feeling, a massive battle royale breaks out
- Everybody falls in love with the pheromone releasers, but rather than a riot, everybody tries, in some way, to win their affections (through poetry, art, dance, murder, hunting, somersaulting, whatever). Sort of a whacky seduction and wooing talent show. After all, we all do silly things in the name of love... The question is, how silly?
- The pheromones create a sort of 'cupid affect', whereby people fall madly in love with whoever they first see, speak to, etc.
(It may have also been suggested that rather than everybody falling in love with the pheromones people, that everyone falls in love with Roach. And, somehow, Roach manages to aquire his own 'The Bachelor' type situation. Not that I think everybody falling madly in love with a giant cockroach and somehow ending up in a reality TV situation would be entertaining at all... No waaaiii. ;D)
Anyway, there's my suggestion. Let me know what you all think.

I want in. Wayne probably not so much, but he's going to get his sorry ass in there. The only problem I perceive is that Wayne is very much gay, whether he likes to admit it or not. If it's a female character, could he fall in love with her? Would the pheromones make him forget his desire for the phallic and instead lust after a young woman?
The general idea is that the pheromones can indeed override any sexual preference, but that, I imagine, will be more up to the player's own discretion. For the sake of interest, drama and possible comedy, yes, I did imagine that straight characters could fall in love with someone of their own gender, but was going to leave that up to the individual. So it would stand to reason that, yes, gay characters could fall for the opposite gender.
Like I've said, it's up to you who you want your character to fall for
