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.

After continued contact red vein like markings slowly begin to spread throughout victims body (just for cool visual effect) showing the affected area that the pain is spreading to.

Weaknesses: Can never touch someone without his mutation taking affect and must make skin to skin contact for mutation to take effect. The pain only lasts as long as contact is made. Once contact is broke the pain ceases to exist. Though individual may have cramping and shortness of breath till contact is made again then pain starts all over again.

History Of Your Character
Simon’s life was never a great one. He lived with his mother and father and well let’s say his father wasn’t the nicest of men to grow up with. It was just like in the movies and the books you always read. Father comes home from work grumpy, drinks a couple beers, then feels like he has to put his hands on everybody in the room! Simon was 8 years old the last time his father ever put his hands on anybody again. That night was a horrible night for everybody. He killed his father, lost his mother and well from that night on he was on his own but liked it that way.
It took a bit of time for Simon to realize what he was or better words who he was. He went for homeless shelter to soup kitchen. Each time his secret given away forcing him to run to the next shelter till the only things left for him was the streets themselves. After learning to use his “gift” to get the things he wanted in life he realized money could be made. He realized that he actually enjoyed seeing the people he touched suffer till he was brought in by the local MOB and willingly used his “gift” to do the things he wanted. But it was time for Simon to move on. He had the money now, he had a small name for himself and well there was nothing more this group of guys in well-dressed suits could do for him. When they looked at him they were scared, they
feared what the created and well what they created soon destroyed them in his way. Now Simon travels from place to place doing what he does best causing suffering and pain.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Google Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who:No Sample RP:
The door flung open as if the person didn’t care who was on the other side. In walks a man standing roughly about six foot with a scruffy grey beard wearing a pair of blue oil stained coveralls, walked straight to an old yellow sofa chair and dropped down.
“Damn’t woman you know when I come home I want my beer in my hand when I sit down! And don’t act like you were busy and didn’t hear when I drove up the drive way!” He slurred in aloud and angry tone as he reached for the TV remote. “Boy stop being lazy like your mother and bring me my dinner.” The man shouted. Aaron came waltzing into the room with a plate of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn and set it on the table next to his father. “You can’t even get your own dinner and you call me the lazy one.” Aaron muttered to himself as he walked away to his room slamming his door behind him.
Aaron sat in his room as he listened to his mother and father argue back and forth. How much she hated him, and how lazy she was… how he did nothing but drink and how she did nothing but sit in the house wasting her life away. Like usual the arguing turned to fighting and he was waiting for the cops to come knocking like always but this night things were much different. Words were shared between the two parents followed by a loud thump this was always normal and crying was usually followed close behind but this time it was silent. No crying just his father saying he was sorry. Aaron placed his head to the door holding his breath trying to hear only the sobs from his mother but this time nothing. Now only his father’s cries filled the room. The door slowly opened and Aaron saw his father clutching his mom in his arms, holding his mother close to his chest kneeling in a small pool of blood. He rushed over flinging his arms around his father’s neck trying to pull his dad away from his mother. “What did you do to her? I swear I will kill you!” The child cried. With one swift move Aaron’s father tossed Aaron over his shoulder and brought his attention back to the woman he was holding in his arms. Aaron looked at the two and reached out for his mother’s hand. With a quick jolt his father pulled her body back. “It’s your fault you little bastard! We didn’t have these problems till you came along!” With that the rage in Aaron burst out! Aaron stood back up and rushed his father! “You’re the one that did this! You’re the one that killed my mother!” Aaron jumped into the air landing on top of his father and mother! “You killed her!” He screamed as he tried to wrap his little hands around his father’s neck.
Moments later Aaron began to wake up, he didn’t understand what just happen. He tried to stand up but felt so weak. When he looked at his mother, he noticed his father now laid there lifeless no movement in his chest nothing. Finally after bringing himself to his feet he looked down at his dad. Little streams of blood ran from the nose and ears of his father. He was dead. No more pointless beatings for him and his mother. Then he slowly turned his attention to his mother. She laid there just as lifeless as his dad but he didn’t really care anymore. Aaron walked in his room and began to pack a small back packet grabbing all the things he thought he might need or at least thing things he could fit. Before he walked out the house he stopped and looked at his parents one last time giving both of them a small nudge with his foot. He still didn’t understand everything that did happen but it was time to go. With his last action he reached down and pulled his dads wallet from his pocket taking $170 bucks then reached for his moms. He laughed as he pulled an empty coin purse for her jacket pocket. “Huh, I guess you really were as worthless as dad said all those nights.”

It'll be interesting to see how someone whose power creates pain interacts with someone who is unable to feel pain (or anything else really). Welcome to MRO.
