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.

Ongoing Plots
Magic and Mystics
After the events of the 2020 Harvest Moon and the following Winter Solstice, magic has started manifesting in the MROvere! With the efforts of the Welldrinker Cult, people are being converted into Mystics, a species of people genetically disposed to be great conduits for magical energy.
The Welldrinker Cult
A shadowy group is gaining power, drawing in people who are curious, vulnerable, or malicious, and turning them into Mystics. They are recruiting people into their ranks to spread the influence of magic in the world, but for what end goal?
Are They Coming for You?
There have been whispers on the streets lately of a boogeyman... mutant and humans, young and old, all have been targets of trafficking.
Adapteds
What if the human race began to adapt to the mutant threat? What if the human race changed ever so subtly... without the x-gene.
Atlanteans
The lost city of Atlantis has been found! Refugees from this undersea mutant dystopia have started to filter in to New York as citizens and businessfolk. You may make one as a player character of run into one on the street.
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 I'm sure you've noticed, MRO has a new default look about it. We're attempting to find a 'decaf' version to present to possible new members, one that is calm and easy to load.
Since this site belongs to all of us, we would really love to hear your honest thoughts and suggestions. Don't worry about hurting our feelings, either. Also, if anyone would like to volunteer to help out, please PM one of us Mods with details.
This is a work in progress, and likely several things will be constantly changing until we find the right balance for the site. In the meantime, for those who prefer the original look, you can change your skin to 'Movieposter', under your profile menu.
Thanks in advance everyone. We already know that we have the best site on the web. *is not biased at all* ^_^ So let's see if we can show that to everyone else out there.

Okay, we've already heard some comments about the plain grey background being a bit dull. Any other color suggestions, keeping in mind that the board backgrounds remain black?
A textured background has also been suggested, or possibly a gradient color.

I actually like the plain black background. It'll change once you log in anyway- and you can still pick whatever wallpaper you like. We can always add how to do it in the newb guide. I think the plain black is less distracting- I found the old wall paper too busy.
Im glad we got rid of the scrolling text and I like the overall tidiness of it!
All right, here's another idea for consideration. This is a tiled version of Calliope's textured swirlies. The gray has been saved as DefaultTwo, for those of you who would prefer it.
Any feedback?

Ahem.
We, ah, also have two new skins: X-Fools DearHunter
Please, emm, enjoy them at your leisure. The Cyclops rendition in X-Fools was done by Abyss, as was Li'l Miss Polkdots in DearHunter; DearHunter collage put together by no one who wishes to claim credit for it while she's fighting the man to the death. *cough*
*smile*
Aaaaand my skin making privileges are officially revoked. Woo!

lol you guys are funny. The only thing I dont like about our wall paper features is how you can see the seams in every image. I'd find it better if it was one solid image - i.e. my background has rogue and gambit but it looks soooo messy >.< because it's tialed
