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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
As some of you may have noticed by now, Slate has taken over the Kabal. As such... the Mods are toying with the idea of updating the Faction colors. It seems unanimous that the Order keeps red. Slate's color is gray; that would be best for the Kabal.
But gray is the X's color.
So, let's hear it: would you guys like the colors to stay the same, or would you like the X's to get a facelift?
If you think a facelift is appropriate: what color should the X's be? (Kat provided this awesome Color Maker. If you take use the "HEX" field as your color here, it will show up.)

I say lets go Classic for the X-dweebs. A yellow/gold of some kind. Besides they're not worthy enough for Gray. Or, maybe a sickly green or horrid hot pink *is only a fourth kidding*.

I don't know if I am allowed to vote, seeing as how I am not in either faction, but I suggest.
color=3400AD
I think it sort of matches the Order Color, on the other side of the spectrum. Showing that the X-men opposes the Order, with the Kabal playing them from the middle. I don't know, maybe I am overthinking it.
I like the gold thing. It screams "we're so good, we shine!"
I also like the orange-gold = ffa40d. Normal gold has always looked too peppy to me; it's like the cheerleader of the yellows. That gold's got some dignity to it. I think it would also look nice with the X-Men's white logo.
Test of that:
Member of the X-Men We're so cool, we've got eagles flying sideways out of our logo.

And indeed, Brainstorm, your opinion is more than welcome! I should have been clearer about that--this thread is a call-out for all opinions, from members of any faction, and neutrals too!
Actually, that purple was pretty, too..
Member of the X-Men Take a number, and wait in the queue. You can hit on Cold Steel shortly.

For comparison:
Global Moderators = ff9900 orange gold = ffa40d
Moderators Pretty purple-blue = 3400AD
So, the orange gold is a little close to Global Mods apparently. I wouldn't mind changing the GM color to something else, though, if the orange-gold works better for the Xmen. GMs could be any color, really.
I kind of like dark teal or different light green for mod colors. The pretty purple/blue is pretty, but still a little harder to read and is a little similar to the other mods. I kind of want to stand out!
