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.

Soooooooo, someone, can't remember who sadly, but you know who you are!!!....
suggested that the baddies have their own color as the X-Men do (silver). I decided since all the goodies don't have a color, therefore all the baddies won't either, it would make more sense if Oppressor's group had a color as well.
Also, is there a group name?? Personally, which I just may stick with cause I like it so much lol, I like "The Sanctified". It plays on the original word sarcastically and sanctified can be used in a negative manner as well as positive...kinda like a cover for what Oppressor is doing anyway. Plus there's the whole 'The Sanctuary' anywho.... *pats self on back*
I'm asking you guys and gals to help pick a color and possibly a name if there isn't one already for them. Give suggestions here please!!
PS- No green, silver, black, white, yellow, blue, red, or purple

When I mentioned those colors, I meant to say not the 'conventional' of those. Maybe some shade like...I don't know melon, aqua, lavendar lol. Something along those lines....
As for the name *Pats J on back*, I actually like Sanctified. But I reckon we just think of as many names as we can and pick one, so we have the best possible name.
I like Syn's suggestion 'Evolution', because we could play with the idea of natural selection and how people with mutations will defeat non-mutants in a survival of the fittest style battle. But I dont think 'evolution' is quite enough. Has to be _____ Evolution.
The name has to be something like 'the brotherhood', which conjures the idea of a hidden society (well, to me it does), and thats why i like the sanctified. but like i said, the more ideas we get, the better.
The hellborn ones remind me too much of the Hell Riders, or whatever it was that they were called. I always forget specific names, but I'm pretty sure it was something like that.
Also, Overcast is colorblind, but would probably prefer a shade of blue, or perhaps some sort of black? black with stripes on the shoulder? something like that perhaps...
Ok, I think we're starting to get into uniforms, which at this point in time aren't necessary. As for colour... I like the colour that myself and eris wear, that being a dark crimson. I say we go for that...
I don't think we need a name with 'Hell' in it as that seems a more apropriate name for a smaller underground gang which we are not...
Ok... I'm just going type what I'm thinking from now on:
X-Men. The X is short for Xavier so our equivalent would be D-Men... which is dodgy.
We need the name to be sort of... i dunno what the best word is.. mature?
So it has to be subtle, not straight out saying 'EVIL BADDIE TEAM'.
I like Sanctified so far because it's going along the lines of what I was thinking. Also, seeing i've modled Dorian of the Devil, it ironic because sanctify CAN have religious connotations. AND it's not cliche...
But i think its a tad long. Thats my only qualm with it. Sanct-i-fi-ed... 4 syllables.... 5 if you include 'the'. I think four is a good limit... that said im not knocking The Sanctified on the head just yet. Before J put that idea forward I was thinking 'The Chosen'... but again, im not sure about it. Doesn't seem strong enough. Sanctified at least as some bite to it...
Dark Vengeance? (I like this) Dark Order? Order of Darkness? (A little cliche, but it could work)

...Still lovin my Sanctified! lmao I don't like Evolution because it's attached to the X-Men cartoon show. I wanted to think of something completely different and away from that.
I was also trying to stay away from the crimson color because its soooo close to the red text used as the default. BUT, I'll change it cause you guys seem to like that much! I'll keep checking this thread for final decisions.

I know I'm the new girl, and not a baddie, and it's already been decided......but I'm going to stick my two cents in anyway.
Sanctified sounds good to me, 'cause in religion something sanctified is set apart for a special purpose. And don't you baddies, for the most part, feel that mutants are a special 'race', meant for a greater purpose? So the name gives the impression of something lofty and noble, yet........mysterious.
Just curious Oppressor, since I haven't had a chance to get to know your character, are you the kind of villan that doesn't believe he is a villan, the kind that believes he's doing what is best for man...er.....'mutantkind'? If so, the name fits perfectly. Either way, I like it. Looking forward to creating a baddie when I reach the 300 posts. I think I already have her profile in mind..... ;D
Okay, that's my two cents. I'll stop talking now....I promise....really......
My only thing about the Sanctified is well, it comes across as more like saviors and that really doesn't fit with Syn at all. For more than the reason of her name having a close similarity to the word sin.
I could handle something like Dark Order, but in all honesty I 'm not sure if there is a group name out there that is more feared than the Magneto's Brotherhood. Yes, I know we don't want to use that but I'm just giving my opinion.
Since religious references have been made what about Dorian King's Dark Angels? Just a thought.
BTW I love the Crimson color. Fits Eris perfectly.
Maybe something like the Fellowship? Or maybe the Sanctified Trust and Adroit (Skilled) Fellowship. The accronym would be STAM. Or maybe something to that affect?
I like Fellowship the best. Or maybe Sanctified Fellowship.

*Takes two cents* No... I'm PRETTY evil ... and I KNOW it
I await in eager anticipation for you to reach 300 posts so you can join DORIAN KINGS SUPER EVIL ALLIANCE OF EVILDOERS, ROGUES, SCOUNDRELS AND CRIMINALS. I Like that name.. we can shorten that to D.K.S.E.A.E.R.S.C. (I love you Eris... if only you were a woman )
Nah.. we dont really need a LOOOONNNGGG name... and for me, a 'fellowship' conjures images of elves... who aren't all that evil... unless of course they're evil elves... which is a completely DIFFERENT story.
ARGH! Who'd have thought that choosing a name would be so HARD... Dorian may have to make an executive decision so so we aren't called 'The Unnamed Fellowship'
As much as I'm messing around... i REALLY APPRECIATE all your ideas... keep 'em comin'!
Blargh... I feel like s**t... TOO MANY CIGARETTES SPOIL THE BROTH as the saying goes.
The reason I liked 'Dark Vengeance' was because a) Dark invokes images of evilness b) We are taking revenge on the non mutant world for making us outcasts.... succinct and to the point.
Sorry if my toughts are scattered... I just came back from a club and am tiiiirrreeeddd...
On that note... I think I'm going to crash. G'NIIIGGHHHTT
Anyways... I really don't have any other ideas. I'm stumped. I really like the Fellowship because it's similiar to the Brotherhood, only different. It's simple and easy to remember, and easy to type, and sort of descriptive.
But hey, I'm cool with whatever is decided. It's not really that huge of a deal... we just need to make a decision and move on with the plot.
