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.

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.
OOC: Here is the fictional battle that I have been thinking about starting for some time now. Without further ado... here are the rules:
1. You can only use your own mutant from the RPs. No NPCs, no godmodding (controlling another character in any way shpae or form), etc. If you have a question of what you can do in this thread, please shoot me (or my brother charrie: glare) a PM.
2. This is totally fictional. What happens within this thread has no effect on the actual RPing. This is basically, a "what if everyone mutant on the forums met at one time and decided to kill each other" idea. On these grounds... in this thread your character can die, but he or she obviously will not die in the forum.
3. Any member of MRO can participate here. No guests please. Pretty straightforward.
4. The battle takes place at Camp David... the presidental retreat. I just chose the spot because I thought it would be fun to RP with... So here is the map we will use for the battle. What you see is what you get. You should have a pretty good idea of what it is. A bunch of buildings... a random swimming pool here or there... a lot, a lot, a lot of trees... Please don't create scenary in your RP that isn't realistic for the enviroment. When in doubt, refer to the map.
5. Absolutely no NPCs in this battle. No president. No aides. No guards. No nothing except for mutants.
6. The aim of this is to have fun. There are no sides and it's mutant vs. mutant. You can use any means necessary and possible to defeat the other muatnts. HAVE FUN!!! Ally with others if you want, (you'll obviously have to meet them and plan in the RP if you do), backstab them, do whatever. Just enjoy yourself.
7. Last but not least, please have only one of your characters in this RP if you have more than one.
Eaen stepped forward smiling lightly as the reality distortion began to appear, outlining his body. He raised his arms up, and clenched his fists, his smile becoming a smirk. As his body began to rise off of the ground, Eaen snapped his arms back down, parallel to his body, causing any small rocks on the ground within a 10 foot radius to start floating, spinning around him in a clockwise motion. Miguel was in control and ready to rock.
He floated farther into the grounds, pulling more rubble and any loose objects into the whirlwind. Miguel raised an eyebrow and looked in either direction, hoping for a worthy opponent. The best way to take someone down, was after they put up a good fight. Miguel felt they always screamed the loudest after a good fight.
Flying overhead Darius saw who he thought was Eaen one of his new friends at the institute, he swooped down the wind rushing through his hair and came to a stop above Eaen and began to circle him. "Eaen what the heck are you doing out here, and whats with all the rocks" Darius yelled hoping Eaen would hear him over the noise and giving him a wave. Darius was confused to what Eaen was doing all the way out here and why he was using his powers so openly.
Miguel looked up slowly, smiling as he caught sight of Darius. He recognized the face as a friend of Eaen's and brought some of the rubble closer to his hand, swirling the rocks around as if he was dipping his finger into a pool of water. However, he quickly shot over to the side, and snapped his arm up in Talon's direction and making his hand in the shape of a gun.
He smiled as a load of rocks launched themselves towards Talon's chest, quickly moving the rocks to spiral around his body a little quicker insuring safety from any incoming blow. He was fairly sure Talon would be able to dodge the rocks, but he didn't know whether or not he would strike as soon as he recovered. He actually didn't really care. Miguel was never the brains of the operation, and Eaen wasn't in right now.
At that moment it was the Miguel show. All Miguel, all the time.
Alarmed at what Eaen was doing Darius yelled at him "Eaen what the hell is this have you gone mad" he said as Eaen sent a large number of rocks up towards him and began to spin them around him. "Don't do this Eaen I'm not your enemy" He yelled but it was no use he saw a smirk on Eaens face as the rocks closed in on him. Darius quickly inveloped himself in his wings as the rocks pelted against them.
What the hell is he doing Darius thought as the barrage of rocks stopped. He blew his wings open throwing off a few more flying rocks, he flew downwards towards Eaen but was blown back by the force that the spinning rocks were making. Darius thought to himself about what the consqensis of attacking Eaen might be. Hes gonna seriously hurt someone I've got to try stop him he thought as he flew up higher and spread his arms and wings out gathering the energy of the sun. "Last chance Eaen" Darius yelled as his eyes began to glow. There was no response from Eaen other than a few more rocks being fired in Darius's direction. "Thats it then" he yelled releasing all the energy he just gathered through his eyes right down through the rocks that had just been throwen and towards Eaens rock storm.
Miguel pouted as he floated out of the way of Talon's energy beam and disintegrated a large amount of his rocks. He shrugged and floated the remaining rubble closer to him, still circling around him. He moved his hand up like he was going to pinch the air in front of him and brought his pointer finger and thumb together then twisted and pulled towards himself. He watched as one of Talon's feathers floated over to him lazily and snatched it in midair.
"I was thinking about plucking every last one of your feathers." Miguel said nonchalantly. "I think it would be an improvement."
He smiled before swinging his arm, he uproated a bush and sent it flying towards Talon, still not expecting to damage him. He was having to much fun taunting him.
"And stop calling me Eaen, it's obnoxious." Miguel smiled wickedly before continuing. "The name's Miguel... Eaen could never do anything like this. Too weak."
He laughed and waited for Talon's next move, hoping he would take some initiative and attack him. 'Bring it you oversized chicken.'
Miguel?? What the hell is going on here. Darius felt a huge amount of anger surge up inside of him from Miguel's taunts. What the heck can I do, all that rubble stops me from getting anywhere near him he thought as bush flew up towards him which Darius slammed off with his forearm. The branchs actually cut his arm but as he looked down it had already began sealing. Lets see him slow this one down he thought as he speed upwards.
He had to squint as the wind was passing so fast even he was having trouble seeing. Darius looked down from where he came and Camp David was quickly becoming smaller and smaller. He was having trouble breathing now and the air temperature had dropped tremendosly. "Here we go" Darius said as he arched his back and flew back round decending on The Camp. He found his mark and his speed kept growing more and more before he had reach maximum vilocity and Camp David was get closer and closer until he could see that smirk on Miguel's face again. "You ready for this" he yelled as he had almost reached Miguel.
Skoliro felt a huge crash surge through the tree he was hanging on. Opening his eyes he saw that everything was upside-down and realized he had been hanging from his knees. Pulling himself up he crouched, gripping the branch lightly with his right arm, his other on his knee. He found, somewhat to his surprise, Talon, that mutant from the mansion, whizzing far in front. Skoliro took off lightly and flew above the tree to get a better view. There was another mutant, which he didn't recognize, that appeared to be floating. Maybe it's time to get a better look.
Miguel's eyes grew wide as Talon came diving at him, he barely dodged the attack in time, and levitated straight into a tree. The impact was pretty hard, and he winced as he got off the ground, clutching his right shoulder. He wasn't expecting the immediate arial assault, but again, this is Miguel we're talking about. He began to cuss and floated up to sit on a treebranch to nurse his shoulder.
"You got lucky."
He made a few motions with his hand, and soon a wave of sand was forming a wall between Talon and Miguel. He made another motion and smiled as the sandstorm made it's way full force towards his "feathered foe". He considered it a pretty smart plan, and it was for one of Miguel's intelligence level, the sand storm would limit his vision, plus, who knows what the sand would do to his wings?
Unfortunetly, that's as far as Miguel's intelligence would take him, and he continued to sit in the tree, in all reality a sitting duck. A lame one at that. He was completely oblivious to the fact that Talon could avoid the attack, and that there was another mutant flying near by.
ooc: *shrugs* I think he meant Aides, like aides to the president or something. I won't hold it against you if you use animals though, and I don't think anyone else will mind to much either! Then again, I probably shouldn't talk for Glare seeing as he's the one who knows the rules to this best, seeing as he did start it. >__<
Darius got up from the aerial manuver he just pulled off pushing some of Miguels rocks that had landed on him after it. He got back to his feet and clicked his neck when Miguel sent a wall of sand flying towards him. Darius grinned slightly as he streached his wings back behind him. The wall of sand was moving quickly around him and Darius had to move fast so he threw his wings forward with all he force which blew a mass of the sand away. Darius laughed slightly to himself "So I'm just a large chicken to you am I" he yelled at Miguel who he could just see through the sand. He thought he was safe when all of a sudden the sand that he blew back quickly headed towards him and combined with more of it which covered Darius completely.
All that could be seen of Darius was a giant pile of sand. He managed to thrust his arm through and pull himself out. "Close one could have suffercated there" he said shaking himself and his wings off walking away from the pile. He stood there, now eying Miguel up who was sitting in a near by tree and began to wait for him to make the next move. I was all a roux really, Darius just needed time to get back the energy from his first aerial feat.
Skoliro flew closer, so he could see all that was happening. A sand storm seemed to appear out of no where, and the displacement of the air created a slight breeze. Calling out with his mind he located the night-prowling creatures of the area, telling them to stay close, just in case. Then he flew behind guy who had been floating and flicked him in the back of the head.

OOC: Skoliro... if your mutant power is to control those creatures, I'll allow you to use them.
IC: Ezekiel White walked along the edge of the Presidental pool in the northern end of Camp David, and smiled. He smiled because today he would get a work out. He smiled because today he would fight. He smiled because he could finally use some of his power in depth. In essence, he could show off. Zeke's nature told him not to show off... but he figured he would allow himself this once.
He smiled and stared into the pool water. His reflection glared back at him. Glared. Glare. His name was Glare, and today he would take advantage of his name. Today he would use his glarring powers, and he would have some fun at the same time. Never mind the danger, Zeke would enjoy himself, and had no fear of losing... to any mutant.
He dipped his hand into the water and felt. It was cool to the touch and cooled his spirits, and his hot head. With a little more clarity he removed his hand from the water, and thought. Then, after a brief moment of thinking, he grabbed each of his black boot-like shoes and fused a small bit of sulfur on each. He would use this to levitate if needed, and it would be nearly impossible to see on the bottom of his shoes.
He decided he would stay near the water. After all, he couldn't create the water, and the only way for him to have access was right here. Zeke walked over to a pool chair and sat down. He stared at the water for a few more moments and waited. He could hear loud sounds in the far trees, but they were far off... and so Zeke would wait... cautiously.
{OOC: Oh yeah I guess you would but it would be cool if you only could if you mutant power was higher than their mentality or something I think that would be pretty neat}
"Ok enough waiting Miguel lets finish this" Darius yelled as his energy was now fully restored, he took off the ground whirling up some of the sand left Miguels earlier attack when he stopped suddenly "Skoliro" he yelled as his winged friend flew by Miguel "You can give me a hand here when ever the hell you want you know" he shouted smiling at his new friend as he took off speeding for Miguel and pulled back his arm readying to throw a whopping punch.
