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.

"Well, if we can't replace it, one way or another it's going to be noticed as gone. If we're not going to worry about fallout, we can, as already said, just teleport it out of the case, then head out. If we're going to worry about fallout, though, we need a way to blame it on Whitmore. Or someone else, but I'd rather blame it on him."

Daria leaned back in her chair.; this was hard.
"So what if we wait till he has the stone and take it from him?..." she trailed off as her nose picked up a familiar scent. She swallowed down a hiss and clutched the table tightly.

A low growl could be heard outside the door. It quickly subsided when a voice uttered "Shhh!". The door opened, and Riruki strolled in, Desiree behind her. Cracking her neck side to side, Desiree sat down in a chair. "Well if it isn't Fluffy and her handsome boyfriend." Desiree muttered.

"Can it Rover!" Daria's emerald eyes narrowed and she couldn't contain the hiss but she stayed seated and slipped her hand protectivly into Mike's. "This isn't the time."
"QUIET BOTH OF YOU! Get the hell over it, you need to work as a team now. If you can't do it, let me know before we are out in the field...I have an idea." *Tricity pointed to two chairs for Ruruki and Desiree to sit down in. She briefed the girls on what was happening thus far.* "I'm thinking we can have Johnathon go to the museum as a scout. We'll stay at the mansion unless he signals Whitmore being there. He has a mutation called anthermancy which is to retain and release heat. He can set off the fire alarms and evac the museum while we teleport in and get the stone. No matter what we decide in the end, Ruruki and Desiree...I would appreciate it if you would take some responsibility in watching the mansion because you are some of the older than most students here. We'll have other veteran X-Men here as well, of course."
Mike pondered a moment. "So we wait until Whitmore's there, blow in, take the stone, and set him up to take the fall. I love it," he said, nodding, his voice calm but his eyes fixed on the table.

"Guard dog, suits me I guess." Desiree said simply, crossing her arms in front of her chest. She quickly stuck her tongue out at Daria, and winked at Mike. She wasn't exactly interested in guys, and could feel the vibe the two had together, which is exactly why she did it. Anything to get a rise out of the catgirl.

Ruki cast an apologetic look at Daria and nudged Desiree, taking her hand gently. That gesture combined with the fact that Mike and her had just spoken about her jealousy problem calmed her down a bit. She didn't have a damn thing to worry about, it wasn't like she was gonna get a genuine response from Mike.
Daria decided to play along and blew a kiss at Ruki who blushed and quickly looked down at the table. The cat girl quickly flashed a smile at Desiree. Then turned to Tricity.
"Fine...I'll make plans to call Gorgon to get her people together. Hopefully she and the Morlocks will play nicely with this plan. Maybe they can cause a distration outside the museum that the guards will have to deal with. Undoubtedly, something will go wrong though. We'll debrief before going to the museum. I have to go inform Johnathon of his new promotion into the X-Men and get in touch with Gorgon." *She stood up from the table and started walking toward the doors. Just as they parted to let her out, Tricity turned around.* "If I hear you were fighting amongst one another, I'll take you off the team. And I expect this room to be cleaned up..." *She exited the room, the automatic doors closing behind her.*

When Daria blew a kiss at Riruki, Desiree let out a growl. Not Soul, but this was Desiree who growled! She stood up with Riruki. "Yeah I think we should go. I should take a shower after having fought with a cat." she mumbled, loud enough for Daria to hear, but not Tricity. She headed towards the door with Riruki.

Daria waited for them to leave before she rose to Mike's side.
Okay. I was good. I thought I was good. She needs a flea bath, freaking mutt. She hissed. But I'll be good. I'll be good. Daria glanced at mike.
"A pretty side of your catty girlfriend is it not?" she offered apologetically. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble, I'm the older one, I'm supposed to take charge or something adult like." she laughed and her ears flattened against her head, sadly. Some birthday.
The chairs in the room slid back into place, as did the table. Anything out of place found its propper position, and Mike gave the room an approving nod.
"Don't worry about the 'trouble', hon. If she's going to get more upset about us getting freaky under the table than she did about Whitmore shooting me and killing my grandfather... let's just say that she's going to get a healthy dose of perspec next chance that comes up."
"And by the way, I'm officially moving your birthday back a few days. No way am I ditching the plans I made for you just because some jerk with some soldiers decides to start some shit."

Daria smiled broadly. "You made plans for my birthday?..Of coure you did, I forgot to whm I was speaking." she said laughing and threw her arms around his neck, showering him with kisses.
It's not just this its the fights. I feel like she thinks they were my fault. I don't want her to hate me. On the other hand, pregnant women are...moody.
"Of course I made plans... and they're plans that can be rescheduled, so we don't have to rush ourselves, so life is good," he answered, kissing her back as they left the war room.
"She can think what she wants, but she's going to listen to what we've got to say. She needs us, whether she wants to admit it or not at the moment. So some things are going to get set straight."
