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.

In contrast to my RP request/open thread thread that I made upon joining, I decided to make this thread instead, to serve as a more general thread about threading. I aim to maintain this thread so long as I'm still making threads of my own/looking for someone to plot with, et cetera.
Capisce?
So, first item on the agenda.
*Roommate(s) for Regina? I intend on having Gina being actively enrolled at Xavier's and thought that it'd be nice for her to have a roommate. My only request is that her roomie is a female. I'm not much too particular about whether or not they'd get along (because, who knows, having Gina room with someone she doesn't get along with could be really fun), have similar interests or not, or the likes. I just want to know if there's anyone out there interested in rooming with Xavier's resident gargoyle girl?
Hey Gina! Well Agnes is at the Xavier school now so they could run into each other. So far I think Agnes is living in a room by herself because of her insect abilties so I dunno if Gina wants to room with bugs all about, but if not, she can at least have a friend on campus.

Although not a student Raven is also living at the Mansion and in a room on her own at the moment. No bugs to be had in her room, but she is rather eccentric and no garantee that your personal possessions wouldn't go mysteriously missing by living with her. I volunteer her as a roommate or, as Agnes before me, if you'd prefer another roommate I am open to some manner of thread around the Mansion.

A tough decision, indeed.
Raven-- My only dilemma with Gina and your character being roommates is that their is a ten year age difference between them, so I think it'd be unlikely that they'd room together. However, I still want to thread with you! Do you have any ideas of what we could do?
Agnes-- I think that Gina could conceivably room with Agnes, and the constant presence of the creepy crawlies could make for a very interesting experience. Gina's pretty chill about bugs, spare mosquito eaters, so I'm sure she'd adjust after a while.
If there aren't any other offers, Agnes, would you like our characters to room together?

You do have a point there Gina. Well, given that you have wings and Raven is lacking in them, I think that right there might provide for some sort of backdrop for a thread. That fact alone would likely cause here some amount of jealousy. Wings and feathers are the two raveny things she's lacking that she greatly desires so we might be able to play off of that in some manner.
In which Gina has a nightmare and cannot go back to sleep. So, instead, she goes to the living room for some water and turns on the t.v. An open thread, so join as you would like, but you should probably be a Mansion resident.

Things are slowing down/ been quite slow/ concluding in the world of my active threads, and so once again I am posting in Gina's General Thread of Threading. The first and only item on the agenda today, ladies and gentlemen, is my quest for a thread, or maybe two threads, so--
14-year-old gargoyle seeking other characters to RP with. Redeeming(?) personality traits include cheerfulness, a tendency to be all touchy-feely, naivety/ scatterbrained-ness, and spunk. Would really like most any thread, but would especially love a thread with:
a) conflict of any sort (physical altercation, arguing, you name it)! b) plotting/relationship development (good, bad, or in-between) c) craziness (use your imagination) d) something with more than one charrie? ;D e) all of the above f) or anything that's up for grabs.
So, any takers/ available opportunities up for Xavier's resident gargoyle?

Hello there Gina. Don't know if you remember us chatting briefly on the C-box a while back. I think our characters could have some great development together, so I'd like to get a thread started where our characters meet.
Unless you have something in particular you want to go after right now with Gina, I think we could have our character talk about how our mutations have affected our appearances. Because of the X-gene, neither of us can pass as human ever again. I think this is a fantastic topic to get some character development going, and hopefully you do too.
Even if that doesn't appeal to you, I'm game for anything. As far as HOW, it isn't unusually for Gina to fly about in the city, and it isn't unusual for Maks to lounge on a rooftop from time to time. Perhaps she spots him and flies down to investigate, or perhaps she enters a Warehouse after hearing some noises, and it's him making a temporary home.

Mr. Trenchfoot! To put things in simplest terms, I am absolutely and totally game for your idea! I love your concept for the potential thread/ character development.
Oh, and welcome to MRO, sir. Would you like to begin this thread?

Excellent. Give me a little time, and I'll pop up a thread for us in New York City. I'll make another post including a link here, so you can see it when it's done.
