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.
So, we have an excellent plot idea running right now... but I guess my wheels are always turning and Im always thinking ahead. Blame it on the books I've been reading and topics I am teaching in school... but after the fun of the Future Plot seeing what our characters would be like I am wondering if we might consider doing something with the past?
I was thinking about how mutant or no, it would be fun to see how our characters react to things in medieval times. It would create a lot of fun avenues to explore, there's a lot of great films, books, and TV players can draw inspiration from etc.
There'd be a few big issues to consider and plan going into something like this:
-How do we get to the past and why?
-Does this RP affect anything with our characters in the present day? e.g. future plot ended up being an elaborate dream that only changed people as much as dreams usually do.
-Is there some sort of ruling religion that would see mutants as evil? as gods? or would it be up to the individual players?
-How specific would we be? Would we pick an actual time in history and stay historically correct or have something loosely based around our common knowledge of that general period etc.
-The point. I think if there's some sort of common goal or war or something going on it would make it easier for people to RP. I still fear the stagnate wrath of the camps plot. Great idea, but not enough plot points!
-would we keep in historical or include mythical creature e.g. Dragons etc.
-would it be restrictive to one area e.g. UK etc or would it be all over (in which case we may consider ancient civilizations from all over the world)
Anyway, it's just an idea. Something to mull over. I think it could work as either a site wide plot if people are interested enough to invest some time in pre-planning, or it could simply be a side plot that some of us who are interested in plan out and do with mod approval. I'm not keen on having anything going at the moment with everything that's already going on... but brainstorming is always cool
There is already a precedent for small groups of people going to the past. WereCat had a Kabal mission that resulted in encounter that sent her back to ancient Egypt. Recently, Katrina and Slate got stuck back in Serbia in 1913 for a year. Here's the thread.
I'm personally kind of back-to-the-futured out for now, but there is nothing stopping others from exploring the past in small groups! You can even use Were's established NPC, Jack, who jumps over a candlestick to travel back and forth in time.
omg, jack jumps over a candle stick? That is kind. of. AWESOME. Thanks for showing this to me Katrina!!! <3 In that case, I may use it since it's all ready established once my character gets a little more established and further through the current plot
Okay, well, I am thinking it can be one of those time moves fast there but slowly here, so when we start it its like our characters are only missing from regular time for a day or two. That way people can continue on with all their other threads as normal without things being disruptive. I havent had a chance to read the Jack thread but I know Lumen really wants to know what happened to her brother. If she goes to see Jack, perhaps meets him in a bar or a pubic place, he can do his thing and accidentally send Lumen and everyone around her, not back 20 years like she wants, but back to medevil times!
