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.

Ruby Lupin wandered around the the arcade aimlessly, trying to find a game she could play that didn't involve to much killing. Today was the first Day Emerald ever let her wander around the city, well considering that her older sister knew that if anything bad happened Ruby would more than likely end up shocking someone by accident.
The fox girl wore a beanie over her ears and one of Emerald's overly large shirts that covered her tail.
The Fox pup noticed a little girl crying because she had lost a crane game and let out a small sigh. She walked over the the girl and gently tapped on her shoulder. "You know the secret to wining these games is to really focus and want the prize." Ruby grinned at her, handing her two quarters.
Ruby watched as the little girl deposited to two quarters and closed her eyes tightly. Ruby put her hand on the side of the machine, dropping the open crane making it pick up a large stuffed lion. Ruby allowed her Electrical powers to flow through the machine making the Lion go all the way to the Prize slot. When the little girl pulled it out with a grin on her face the two quarters gave her popped out of the machine. The girl handed the quarters to Ruby before running of to find her mother.
A Small smile crept across Ruby's face but it soon faded when she heard a gruff voice.
"Whadya do that for?" A Teenager around her age growled, his two buddies standing behind him. He was twice the size of Ruby and had muscles showing through his shirt "You shouldn't have helped that human. Let her spend all of her money."
"But she was crying, I couldn't have just let her cry." Ruby said, stiffening greatly.
"Listen do you know what my mutation is?'
"....Large stature?"
The boy rolled his eyes. "No Super strength. My two Buddy's here have well you are about to find out."
Before Ruby could react the two boys rushed at her with inhuman speed and pinned both of her arms above her. "Lemme Go!" Ruby said with the best growl she could muster.
"Sorry girl but you are gonna have to be re educated on how Mutants should treat Humans. Besides we could use someone like you in our gang." He smirked as his friend tightened their grips around Ruby's wrists, causing her to yelp. The Superstengthed teen lifted up Ruby's beanie enough to see the overly large fox ears before he pulled it back down. "You shall be coming with us now."

They unfortunately dragged Ruby out to the back alley where Jamal was sleeping for the night. He was curled up with his head on his back pack until he heard the door open and Ruby screaming loudly.
He rushed over. "Hey, what are you doing to her?" he demanded.
"Help me!" Ruby pleaded but one of the guys put his hand over her mouth.
Jamal 's face turned dark and he looked angry.
"What do you think you're doing?" the big one laughed. "I know you're not trying to save her."
"I'm not trying." Jamal said raising a hand and pointing it at a dumpster. "I'm doing it."
A ring of golden symbols appeared around the dumpster and began spinning. The dumpster itself went sailing towards the fast guys but they zoomed out of the way taking Ruby with them.
"Damn." Jamal cursed as they laughed.
"Its going to take more than that." The strong one said and moved towards the young boy. Jamal made eye contact with Ruby and frowned. Soon the dumpster went sailing again and hit the attacker in the sie slamming him into the brick wall. He made a heavy dent and pushed the dumpster off of him easily.
Ruby let out a small yelp as she was getting dragged by the two speedy boys. She felt Electricity surge through her arms causing them to let go immediately. She rushed over to the Muscle Bound Teen as Well as the boy who was trying to save her.
The pup Had managed to conduct enough electricity to hurt the bumbling bu rte and shot it through her finger tips. When she heard his howl of pain she grinned before she began losing air and Fast.
The Strong one had grabbed Ruby by her throat and began squeezing it tightly. Unknown to Ruby her hat had fallen off of her head, leaving her fox ears to flatten against her head. She looked at Jamal with a Pleading look a look that would seem very, very familiar to him.
((I want you to do his realization. Remember his memory was never erased))

Ruby at a younger age flashed before his eyes. He recognized the small girl immediately and his anger rose up.
"Don't worry Ruby, I'll save you."
Ruby didn't have time to wonder how the boy knew her name, she was seeing black spots.
Jamal raised both of his hands at the fire escape of the building and the rings appeared. The escapes were immobile ofr a minute and then they slammed to the ground. The ladders held them up like legs as they walked towards the gang. The strong one had to stop his choking for a minute in all of his surprise. He looked to jamal.
"who the hell are you?"
"Call me the Alchemist." Jamal said as his two fire escape soldiers stomped forward and kicked his two speedy friends. They went slamming into the sides of the other buildings.
He didn't let go of Ruby but she screamed releasing a shock from her body that stunned him long enough for her to drop to the floor. Almost immediatly Jamal was in front of him, his arms opened wide like he was a barrier between the two.
The strong guy laughed and reached out to plant a punch bt his hand hit metal as the fire escape blocked his attack. He left a dent in it and grinned picking it up and throwing it into the other crushing them and breaking the spell.
"Damn." Jamal cursed. "Think you can do that again?" he asked Ruby who looked at him with wide eyes and amazement at her hero.
Jamal tookl a hay maker to the gut and went flying across the alley stopping short when he hit garbage bags. He immediatly animated them and sent them rolling towards the attacker. Once againt a needed distraction for him to pick up the small fox girl and disappear down the street.
He put her down when they were far enough and out of sight.
Ruby was still recovering from being nearly chocked to death when Jamal put her down. She felt her ears perk up slightly as she looked over at him. "Thank you so much for saving me. Who are you anyways...you look very familiar though." Ruby said scratching her head.
Jamal remembered that Ruby had her mind tampered with just like Daria and Jonah. He smiled at the fox girl before sticking out his hand. "Jamal." He said with a grin
((Tag! Im not used to Npcizing Older Jamal yet...can you tell?))

((lol its fine, just read his personality description))
"Jamal..." She repeated slowly. A very slight, cute wrinkle appeared over her nose as she thought about his name. "How do you know who I am."
"We met a long time ago. You got really attached to my older cousin."
"Your older cousin?" Ruby said. She knew she really shouldn't have been in the city by herself for so long and she didn't want to run into another weirdo. She backed up a bit.
"Daria Strong?" he asked. "Its cool if you don't remember her..." he said sadly. "I would understand..."
((your turn! I dont know if you want her to realize it now or have her figure it out later and just say, oh no i know daria but i just met her...))
"Daria? I just met her she lives at the mansion with me and my older sister Emerald." Ruby said with a small grin. She was remembering bits and pieces of what Jamal was talking about but she hardly could remember anything.
"Wait she is? Your sister is there to?" Jamal asked, he Remembered how much Ruby wanted her sister when she stayed with them. What he was a bit excited about was that Ruby knew where Daria was. "Can you take me to her?"
"Yea but..." Ruby's stomach growled loudly and she began blushing furiously. "I'm sort of Hungry, do you have anything to eat with you?"

Jamal laughed. Ruby was just as adorable as he remembered.
"I have and apple and half a ham sandwich." he said but he held the apple out to her a bit more than the sandwich. It happnened to be exactly what she intended to reach for and she smiled as she took it.
"I love apples." she said biting into it and starting to walk to the mansion.
I know. Jamal thought to him self biting into his half a sandwich. He followed her in the direction of the mansion.
