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.
Well, the topic was brought to the Mods' attentions, but as for an actual PM, I can't be sure that's been sent yet. I don't think it would be a problem if you did so. I'm also a big fan of 'Just In Case'. In my case, it's easy to miss threads unless someone PMs me.
enigma: 1. One that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable. 2. A perplexing speech or text; a riddle.

In honor of a great rper, and a dear friend. We'll miss you, Iris.
yea putting old threads into one area labelled 'finished posts' or something similar without locking is a good idea. Also, perhaps a single summary of the main plot should be probably be posted and starred every now and again (once a month?) just so people won't get confused if they are away from MRO for a while. It should also be a great help to new muties. Just a thought, but what does everyone else think?
There is a quickie plot summary in the Newb Guide Series, as well as individual summaries that players keep updated here. We'll poke the Plot Mods to update the summary a little bit, but most of what you need, and newbies too, is in those two threads.
Speaking of which...... *goes to update her own charrie threads*

this might be impossible to fix but does anyone else get a default "read 3 times" at the top of their thread the second they post it? I wonder what that's about...
