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.

Ali flew far away from Dakota's place. She couldn't help but wonder what was happening with Raina. Hopefully she was ok for the moment.
Landing on a building top she looked up at the sky and took a deep breath and tried to relax. She walked over to the edge of the building and looked down at the streets below. The people were oblivious to her and moved like busy little ants.

The rooftop Red was headed to was one of his favorite places in the world, and he occasionally brought his guitar and a foldable chair with him, as he was doing today, to play a few bars or try writing a short song (most attempts ended up making little sense at all). He was expecting his peaceful retreat to be just as he had left it two days ago, but his expectations were dashed. He had certainly not been expecting the fiery-haired sheila who stood near the edge of the building, but he was not exactly disappointed about it either.
He did notice that she seemed somewhat on edge and apprehensive about something, so he simply offered a greeting. "G'day there. You look like something ruffled your feathers a bit." As he spoke, he walked out of the way of the door and set up his chair to sit down in it.

The roof top door opened and Ali turned to see who or what was joining her on the roof. Her first thought was that it might be the twins, but how could they find her way up here? She didn't activate her power. Instead she just watched a figure step out of the doorway.
The figure turned out to be a guy. He was tall and wore a rock band shirt underneath a denim jacket and khaki pants. He had a folding chair and a guitar with him. His greeting to her had a distinct australian accent. Ali smiled and relaxed. "Hello to you too." The woman stepped away from the edge of the building and walked closer to the guy. "Yeah, I guess you could say that someone ruffled my feathers. That's why I came up here so I could calm down. What are you doing up here?"

Red smiled back at her. "I come up here a lot in a spare time. I've found this place good for relaxing; you got lucky choosing this roof." His words were somewhat interrupted every so often by the sound of his guitar, as he had sat down and was tuning the strings by ear. Granted, he didn't have to tune it that much as he had done so before making his way up the stairs, but he didn't want his company to wince at a discordant melody if he began playing. "The name's Keith, though I've been known as Red by more than a few."

"How did I get lucky by choosing this roof top Red?" Ali looked the guy over and listened to him tune his guitar. "Are you going to play a song and sing to me?" She couldn't help but smile. "My name is Alithana but you can call me Ali or you can call me by my nick name Raven Fire."

"Well, Ali," Red responded, "It's just that there aren't many other roofs that are like this one. I've looked around at some others, but none really hold a candle to this one." He had finished tuning his guitar and played a G major chord to double-check.
Then, Red smiled and said, "I'm not much of a singer, but if you ask nicely I might play a little song for you."

Deciding to sit down and smiling back at Red she nodded. "Will you please play me a song Red?" She had no idea what sort of song it would be but it would be nice to let music help calm her down more.

Red smiled again at Ali. It seemed to have become a bit of a trend today, smiling at her, and he hoped it didn't just become cheesy or something...
He began to play a calm and soft melody, one he was somewhat familiar with as he had first played it about two months ago. Granted, he hadn't played it much since then, so he played it a little slower than he had intended it to be when he wrote it, but it still came out alright in his opinion. It had never been too hard for him to hold a conversation while playing, so he asked Ali, "So, Raven Fire, huh? How'd you come by that name?"

The redheaded lady listened as Red began to play a song. It sounded rather pretty and it wasn't too fast. It was really helping to calm her down.
When the guy asked about Ali's nick name she smiled. "Well, it's sort of a combination of two things. First my last name is Ravalynn and my power is fire. So I nick named myself Raven Fire." As she said her name she engulfed herself in an aura of flame, but only momentarily. "So what can you do besides play music?"

As Ali surrounded herself in flames, Red's eyebrows raised slightly. He was not too surprised to see it, as Raven Fire didn't sound much like a "normal" nickname at all, but it was slightly unexpected.
At her question, he replied, "Well, I'd rather not do it while playing. Makes it pretty hard to pluck the strings. Guess the best way to say it is that I can turn into some sorta red... goo." He smiled and added, "Guess the name fits, huh?"

Red had to wait a second to answer Ali's question, as he couldn't exactly remember what chord he should play next, but whatever he ended up playing sounded good enough. "Yep, born and raised in Oz. Straight from Melbourne."

Red abruptly stopped playing when Ali asked her question. He thought about how to answer, and finally came up with, "I'd rather not talk about it, if that's okay. It's... something I'd like kept in the past." He was hoping that Ali would understand and not probe any further; he wasn't very proud of that time in his life.
He had a tone in his voice that told Ali that he really didn't want to divulge any information at the moment. "That's ok I can understand. I'm not going to make you tell me anything you aren't comfortable sharing." She looked around the skyline just taking in the sights for a moment as she tried to think of what to say next. "Is there anything you'd like to know about me or should I take off and let you have your roof top back?"
