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.

Shin’s emotions got curiouser and curiouser as she proceeded to talk about pretzels, and Kealey actually turned to look at him, head tilted slightly to the side. Then, he almost tripped, and she had to chuckle a little, helpless to prevent the reciprocal flush that crept up her cheeks.
”Did the sidewalk try to reach up and grab you?” The blond said, resuming the walk towards the pretzel stand.
”What were you thinking about?” she asked candidly, with a slightly sly smile, ”Surely Mr. Mime wasn’t trip-worthy...”

>>”Did the sidewalk try to reach up and grab you?”
"Uhm."
What had he been thinking about? "Certainly not that time you were all dressed up for the Pokemon tournament," Shin lied unabashedly. "Nope. So, pretzels?"

Shin shared, and Kealey blushed all on her own this time. The pokemon tournament. The kimono she’d made, and painstakingly prepared for that day. A slow smile crossed the blonde’s features at the memory. ”I couldn’t wait to see what you thought.” she admitted.
Wow, had it really been that long since the Pokemon tournament at the Mansion? Had all of this really happened since then too? Man…it seemed like time really did fly…as did Kealey’s attention, she blamed the crowd and tried to get back to the task at hand.
”I think I still have that thing around somewhere.” she said, just a little slyly.
”You never know when something like that is going to come in handy…even though I have the real thing now.” she added with a slight shrug and a smile.

>>”I think I still have that thing around somewhere.”
Shin nodded. And then at her next comment, his neck got stuck in place as his jaw ever-so-slightly dropped. His head was foggy. She'd oh-so-casually slipped that in there.
"Kealey." Shin started importantly. "I know what I want for my birthday."

Boy, all of a sudden Shin had settled on something he wanted for his birthday, after he’d been so laid back and noncommittal about the thing all afternoon. Kealey smiled. Where on Earth had this sudden inspiration come from?
Pretzels suddenly didn’t seem all that important and Kealey turned to look at Shin instead, her serious face matching his important tone.
”Really?” she said, losing her battle with pretense and donning a slightly lopsided grin. ” What?” It was usually a perk of birthdays after all…that the person celebrating got what they wanted.

Read his mind? Silly Shin, he knew she couldn’t do that. The best she could do was look right into his eyes and thoroughly check out his emotions.
Shin’s hands were on her shoulders, and Kealey reached up to take his hands in hers so she could take a step closer. “You might have to be more specific…but something tells me it doesn’t involve tourist shops or pretzels.” she said, words suggesting one level of ignorance, grin suggesting another.
"Check this place out another time?" she suggested nonchalantly. And if she was reading things wrong...well, Mr. Mime could easily have started creeping her out. The plan was flawless.

She’d already taken a step closer, but suddenly Kealey didn’t feel like she was close enough, so she took another step closer, never breaking eye contact.
He wanted her to ask him, and Kealey grinned as Shin pointed out that he was setting up a line. This was going to be good.

"Ice cream." Shin slipped away from her, taking his arms off her shoulders and breaking the distance. He smirked, and added, as if by afterthought. "Oh yeah. And you. Mostly you. And maybe that kimono."

Ice cream? Kealey dropped her eyes and chuckled with a slight shake of her head. It reminded her of another time that an answer like that had been given…they’d been sitting in Shin’s room and they’d been so very close. She’d wanted lemonade. Kealey looked back up and giggled…no she hadn’t, just like Shin didn’t really want ice cream.
He wanted her. Oh, and maybe the kimono.
Yeah…Kealey could do that. Suddenly walking around the pier and checking out tourist shops and pretzel stands sounded like the worst idea EVER.
”Is that all?” Kealey said with a grin, reaching out to grab Shin’s hand, ”Now where did we park that bike?”
