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.

>> "I love to read. Mostly fiction, occasionally poetry, as well... I don't have the attention span for any long books... not much of a writer, either."
The idea of Gina having a short attention span suited the hyperactive girl. "Ah'll read long an' short. Some days Ah'll find maself wastin' away a whole day in a good book." Rebecca could not recall how often she would stop reading and realize just how dark it had become or how long it had been since her last meal.
>> "What sorts of poetry do you like? Reading and writing."
What a large question, really. "Oh mah, let's see. Ah'll reid almost anythin', an' Ah dabble wi' mah writin'. Plenty ay free verse stuff, but occasionally it is fin tae work on a sonnet." It was taxing to figure out how to work in the rigid style of meter and rhyme, but it felt very refined.
The two girls approached large wooden doors at the end of the hall. "Is thes it?" she asked excitedly.

>> "Ah'll read long an' short. Some days Ah'll find maself wastin' away a whole day in a good book."
"I wish I could do that," Gina chuckled shortly, "But my attention-span, it won't let me."
>> "Oh mah, let's see. Ah'll reid almost anythin', an' Ah dabble wi' mah writin'. Plenty ay free verse stuff, but occasionally it is fin tae work on a sonnet."
"Cool," Gina smiled, "I know some writing types are pretty secretive about their stuff, but if you've ever got something you don't mind sharing, I'd love to read it."
>> "Is thes it?"
Gina looked up. They'd been conversing so intently that the younger girl had hardly noticed that they'd arrived. Yet here they were, standing before the enormous doors that led into the library.
"This is it," Gina confirmed. She stepped forward, to grab the door for Becca, but stepped aside as she opened it. She wanted to see Rebecca's face.
"I present, the library," Gina said with a flourish of her hand.

>> "Cool! I know some writing types are pretty secretive about their stuff, but if you've ever got something you don't mind sharing, I'd love to read it."
Gina was spot on; many people were shy about sharing their writings, and Rebecca was no exception. She loved writing her poems, but she could never tell if anything she wrote was very good. Still, there were one or two she was somewhat confident in... and it would do wonders for her to get a second opinion. "Ah can think of a few tae share wi' ye! A-Ah mean, if yer interested."
>> "This is it. I present, the library."
The door pushed open to reveal a library bigger than any of the ones in her town; probably bigger than two or three of them. Rebecca looked around the shelves at the well organized categories of texts. It would seem Kealey was good at her job.
Rebecca looked through the fictions, impressed by her new home. "Thes is great! Ah shoulds get a book before Ah get back tae mah room." The last thought in her sentence reminded her of the reality that slipped her mind. "Ach, Ah still hae tae unpack mah room..." She frowned, happier hanging out with Gina than being productive.

>> "Ah can think of a few tae share wi' ye! A-Ah mean, if yer interested."
"Yeah, totally," Gina agreed, grinning and nodding her head assuredly. Hadn't she just said that she'd love to read Rebecca's poems?
The other girls expression was priceless as she surveyed row upon row of texts.
>> "Thes is great! Ah shoulds get a book before Ah get back tae mah room. Ach, Ah still hae tae unpack mah room..."
That's right! Gina smiled apologetically. She'd been perusing the halls when she'd come across Rebecca, hadn't she? And Rebecca had been in the middle of unpacking her bags.
"I don't mind if you go back to unpacking," Gina assured the other girl, shouldering a shrug, "I did kind of sidetrack you, didn't I-?"

>> "Yeah, totally."
Rebecca smiled from ear to ear, flattered by Gina's interest. Gina was so sweet, and Rebecca was glad she did not allow the grey exterior to deter her. Her first day at Xavier's came with a useful lesson: do not judge someone based on their mutation.
>> "I don't mind if you go back to unpacking. I did kind of sidetrack you, didn't I-?"
Rebecca shrugged. "Well, technically, yes." She laughed to herself, realizing that technically, Gina had been a terribly effective distraction. "Ah had lots of fun spending time wi' ye though."
Rebecca wanted to make a quick choice, but there were far too many books to choose from. She spotted a stack of books on a nearby table and decided to let fate pick her book. The top option seemed to be titled "The Hunger Games," which Rebecca had been hearing about anyway. "Well, Ah 'ave a book tae distract maself wi', sae Ah should gae back tae unpacking..."
As much as being productive was the right choice, Rebecca prefered the idea of keeping some company around. "Ye know, while Ah unpack... ye can always take a look at mah poems..." That was the best of all worlds, right? Rebecca finished unpacking, Gina got to read poems and Rebecca had a friend. Win-win-win.

> "Well, technically, yes. Ah had lots of fun spending time wi' ye though."
Gina laughed as well, tail curling in delight. It was always good to know that you were a fun and effective distraction. Much better than the alternative, in which people might just want to be rid of you. Gina gave a faint, "Aw, thanks."
>> "Well, Ah 'ave a book tae distract maself wi', sae Ah should gae back tae unpacking..."
"Yeah," Gina agreed, nodding her head. Becca should return to what she was doing. But Gina's near-self dismissal was cut short by an offer.
>> "Ye know, while Ah unpack... ye can always take a look at mah poems..."
They could keep hanging out?
"Sounds like fun!" Gina agreed. Rebecca could be productive, Gina had someone to hang out with... alll was good in the world, "Come on."
