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.

Character's full name: Deven Mckinnon Alias/ Nickname/ Code name: None Gender: Male Age: 22 Date of Birth: 07/22/1989
Nationality/ Ethnicity: Canadian Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: Quebec
Hair color and style: short and black, although they are always covered by a dark blue bandana that ties behind his head and drops to the lower parts of his back. Eyes: Green Height: 6'1 Build: Slim and muscled. Visible mutation: None Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: A chain of blades is Tattooed on his left arm. Other features: He will have a nice scar on his stomach when everything is done with, from some guy's who tried to steal his wallet in a dark alley.
Everyday clothing style: He always wear his lucky bandana he'd feel bad if he didn't have it. A tight black Tank top and baggy pants to fit with his army capped boots usually worn without socks, the ruffian kinda style. Uniform: None Sleepwear: Boxers.
Miscellaneous clothing: He is miscellaneous enough as it is, but he always wear this blue bandanna over his head, as if it meant alot more than met the eyes.
Character
Personality: Deven always seems to have a smirk on the edge of his face, as if he's always ready to win. Other than that he likes to speak as if he didn't really care about other but deep down he's really just a nice guy, getting to know him might be a good advantage to many if they can withstand his personality at first. Hobbies/ Interests: Swordplay is a good interest of his, he spends most of his free time either practicing with a blade, or tossing knifes into a target drawn on his room wall.
Job or part time job and description: Barman in a nightclub
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Rain, he hates water like the black pest. As any reasonable man he's scared of heights but he could bungee down a cliff for a beer and 50 bucks. And losing his job would mean the end of his life.
Special talents: Ambidextrous, He has been training with swords for a long while, making him quite good with them. The guy can fight unharmed too, but that's not his area of expertise.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: I'd say Deven is a neutral evil, because he rarely care's about anyone else besides of himself and his little person, he would do alot to get his deeds done, rare are his friends but the one's he has he will keep them for a while.
Mutations
Mutation description: The power to use the iron within his blood to create bladed weapon's of any kind.After creating said weapon, Deven gains the ability to absorb the created weapons as long as they didn't have any liquid touch them. The blades themselves look like regular blades altogether at the exception of the reddish tint to them. When Deven uses his power, blood painlessly seep their way out of his skin as a dart, and then he can manipulate the substance to give it the form he wants, which allows him shortly after to take it with his hands and fight with it.
Strengths: Strong iron blades to spring out of nowhere can be considered a big strength. Throwing daggers make excellent throwing weapons that doesn't sell him out as a mutant straight away. Using alot of blades at the very same area could be considered as creating a shield for himself. The way it works is that he creates so many blades on the top of his back without taking them out that they pile up and look like a porcupine, this ability can only be used on his back. Using so much iron his body has quickly adapted after the mutation and created more and more iron allowing him to create the blades fully.
Weaknesses: Water ruin's his day, as it corrupts the power that holds the blades together and renders them a splat of blood on the ground that he can't regain. There is no time restriction on his power, as once the blade is created the power is pretty much useless. Meaning that once the blade is created, it is as regular as any iron blade, he could wait a few hours and never feel the need to absorb the blade again, but if he made twenty,he'd feel tired. The limit to how many is rather simple, if he still has iron in his blood he can create more, but he only has 2 hands to use them. Lets say he decides to create more than two swords and a dozen of daggers, the side effects would be the same as losing half the blood in your body, dizziness a feeling of weakness, and that's when he knows he needs to absorb his blades back, if at this point rain kicked in, or if someone poured water on him, he could lose consciousness if the blades were still out of his body and spoiled on the ground.
Fighting Style
Explanation: Ever watched someone fight with swords and throwing daggers, that's about as good as he can get.
Pros for fighting style: Short ranged sword and long range throwing daggers, he excels at fighting with weapons and people in line of sight. Cons for fighting style:invisible enemies will be his bane, and metal manipulators his terminator.

1989: The birth of the boy was rather normal no problems detected, a boy named Deven was added to the planet.
1995: 6 Years old boy still has a harsh time making friends and actually had his first suspension from school for beating up another kid because he didn't want to lend his crayons, from the age of 6 this little boy has had problems with delinquency. 2005:The now 16 years old young man is in high school, when someone comes in the classroom, turned out it was his father asking the teacher to relieve him from class, leaving the classroom, no word was said in the car, it was easily guessed that the boy didn't like his father, and the father was uneasy with it, but when they reached home the boy knew it was time to move, from Quebec to Ontario. 2009: Life caught on and normality came back to the small family. Having dropped school last year the boy was now working full time, keeping most of his money and taking a DEP in bar-tending classes, because yes in Canada you needed classes to be a bartender.
2010: He starts working in a little bar with no name needed to be remembered in the middle of nowhere Ontario. One day he come's back home to find his dad crying at the table police officers asking him question when they turn around and look at him and ask if he had seen his mother in the last days, he hadn't come back home in the last days so he had no clue of anything. Time went by and he still couldn't bring himself to the fact that his mother had disappeared so he took the car and his wallet and started looking for his mother around the country. Never admitting defeat he kept looking spending his earnings to keep going, but 6 month's after he just dropped it and decided that he couldn't stay there no more, too many bad memories of his life remained there, so he asked for a passport and a visa, and went to the states and looked for a job. While on the road as if things weren't bad enough for him, he had an accident on the highway, a van's tire had exploded right beside his car and he had lost control, which ended his day face first in a tree. Waking up in the hospital he felt as if there was no problem with anything so he stood up and walked around trying to find a nurse. Finding one he looked at her and sprung up his english alongside his heavy french accent and asked where his things were, the nurse brought him back to his room and opened a door which revealed his clothes as she told him that what he was wearing had been destroyed during the car crash. Leaving the hospital with a bill in his hands he raged against the states and walked off, soon finding out that he was in the state of NYC, shrugging off his problems he knew he had to find money. Taking his courage two handed he went around and found a job in a downtown bar. 2011 The Awakening: One day leaving job, 3 am in the morning casual day, three people walk up to him in a dark alley, small daggers in hand and they ask him to give them his wallet. He doesn't want to but he takes out his wallet and tosses it on the ground. One of the 3 man picks it up while the other two move even closer to him, extreme fear rushes up to him as he see's them, pleading them to let him go, they gave him an evil smile. So the man takes the blade and plunges it into Deven's stomach, which he soon covered with his hands,pain surged through his body he felt like he needed to fall to his knee's and die but something weird happened, it felt as if he could grasp the blood in his hand as if it was a solid matter, or atleast in his head it was one, he did, not deny his instinct and plunged the unnatural weapon in the man's throat leaving him flat dead on the ground while the other two were making off with his wallet, he didn't think, he remembered what the man who took his wallet looked like, so he threw his sword at him, leaving the man shitless as he nearly missed him, dropping the wallet out of fear and running away. Deven walked up to the dropped wallet and picked it up, tossing it back into his backpocket as the improvised blood blade soaked back into his skin leaving his hands stained with blood. He didn't want to understand, nor that he could, someone needed to explain to him what the hell just happened but no one would so he just walked back home still traumatized, something had changed in him, and he couldn't explain it.

Sample RP: Deven was tired of running away, after a few hours he decided to walk inside a store, talking the first thing to cover his hair which seemed to be a really long bandanna and the first pants and tank top he could see, for now he would run bare footed. Police gave him a breather to think back to himself, as he looked around utterly lost in this region he wandered by instinct in the dark streets and alleys of the town before some homeless people walked up to him with blades asking some things.
''How bout ye get butt naked and give us 'yer clothes 'ey lad? Ye dun' wanna get hurt do ya?''
Deven turned his glance towards the homeless people and an insane smile appeared on his face and as they tried to run away blood splattered on the walls of the street but he had acquired boots for now.
''You're lucky I made it painless hmm?'' He'd say with a chuckle before walking away in the streets wandering around trying to find a place to stay without needed to gut someone else.
