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.

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.
So due to noel/graves plotting, an old idea from Jorge and a bunch of cbox plotting, the idea was proposed (with the upcoming possible apocalypse and all,) that there could be cause for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
This is a very vague idea, whether these would be followers of the bringer of the apocalypse, mind-controlled/altered minions, members of a doomsday cult, ect. The idea was also tossed around that (in true X-Men fashion,) the Horsemen could be PC characters who either opt to become Horsemen or are forced to do so.
So we figured we could make a thread for characters to be proposed as the potential War, Death, Famine and Pestilence! Just suggest any character who could fit as one either mutation/personality-wise. From there... well, who knows? But whatever happens, at least we'll have a list! Yeah!
Suggestions I remember: Vicente as War (or Death.) Kealey as War. Tarin as Death. Dorian as War (or Death.) Agnes as Pestilence.
So yeah, suggest! (I'll sit here in the corner with a shadowmancer and a magnetic girl who both do not fit any of the four to my knowledge. *sad*)

I think it's a great idea. What about having the horsemen not actually try to start it but start it through accidents or through like a series of planned misadventures.
Sebastian would consider this to be a pantheon, all the people he has turned into immortals, or gods. Those that are certain he will bring about the apocalypse would consider them to be far more like the four horsemen.
Red / (Civil) War: Calley (Kealey would also be great, but it wouldn't be fair for Juli to have all the horses.) Black / Pestilence: Agnes Pale / Death: Tarin
As for the White horse, I'm not sure yet which one to use. I'm thinking Conquest, though. Conquest: Lori? Famine: ? Pollution: ?
Other candidates, positioned to be involved, or could be easily recruited: Noel? Graves? Phoenix? Emerald? Koga? ...Other?
*plots to drag Lori into her own mess and make her a horsewoman* Because every pantheon needs someone to throw thunderbolts.
I think Emerald could actually be one of the horseman. I could voulnteer her depending on the circumstances of her recruitment. Due to her vigilanteness and tendancy to fight. She
We of course are not a cannon site, but I figured it would be fun to link to the history of the canon Four Horsemen because hey, free knowledge. And as a wise man once said, knowing is half the battle.
(Plus my love of these plotlines is why Noel and I were talking about horsemen, and we conveniently noticed a Unicorn doing apocalypse-stuff.)
I haven't really been very involved in this plot so far, so it might be pushing it to become a horseman, but Shane wouldn't be a terrible famine. He's black already and his power has to do with eating.

I send my love of this idea in your general direction. Also: Granny and Martin are in. We might murder your faces. Or your steal your horses. At least Granny might.
