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.

Koga grinned, wider at hearing his friends fantastic news. “ Well Played Sshinbo!” Koga could have kept a hold of him an ability he made scant use of, but if he didn’t want to be manly and celebrate things that should be celebrated. then he didn’t have to be. “Awessome!” as he backed away he couldn’t help but let a joyful laugh escape his lips. “Again and admittedly more enthusiastically, if there is anything I can do to help, you must only ssay it. if you need a partner in crime for Sschemey grandeur romantic gestures.” Both thumbs pointed back at himself. “I’m your guy.”
The smile was starting to hurt his cheeks. “I am excited for you!”

Shin smiled and shook his head. "I am all Kealey needs so far as romantic gestures go. I hold my own just fine."
He also did not want anyone else on the scene helping with said gestures. He vastly preferred it when it was just him and Kealey. And after all, when it was just him and her, she had more of a chance to decide if it was her own emotions she was feeling in response to the gesture, or his. He liked that part of the equation.
"You should have seen Aurum when he was helping me pick out the ring," Shin lied. "Like a kid in a puppy store with his nose pressed up against the glass. Okay, that was me." He sucked at lying. He left it at that.
He laughed. “ Fair enough, but if you ever change your mind and need a violin in the background or ssomething you let me know.” He may have mentioned it in the first place for the casual popping the question personally, he would go epic. Though of course there was something to be said for subtle simplicity.
He nodded. Aurum, that Ami’s big brother. Yeah, the best friend. He wasn’t jealous that he had been missing out on Shin’s life and his best friend spot and his best friends cute little sister that had a boyfriend. Nope not jealous of normal life nope, nope, nope. “Good, I’m sure that’s a hard choice to make. How did you figure out her ring size without tipping her to the surprise?”

Oh. Had he not shared that with anyone really at all? It had sort of kind of been this obvious thing he didn't talk much about.
Shin pointed to his eyes.
"I got this weird new mutation a while back. I see things all griddy and have perfect depth and angle perception. I can basically tell things measurements from a glance."
" Neat! That definately comess in handy for figuring out the ring ssize. I got some odd stuff pretty recently." His eyes swiveled around independently and he could focus in diffrent directions like having a split screen opposed to just getting really dizzy and disoriented, his extra eyelids slid up and down really quick letting the clear layer take a break for a moment. He then presented his elbow spikes and head spikes for inspection.
"I'm hoping it goes a little bit sslower on my climb to reptilian perfection."He shook his head breifly. " But yeah again congratulations! I'm Happy for you two."
"You definitely got the better upgrades this time around, I got spikes and crazy eyes." Koga grinned, he always forgot about just how awesome Shin's abilities were, he was damned impressive the second he flexed an ounce of his mutant muscle.
He shook his head. " No time like the present, should we go outside? he looked to the back door. more often than not, it was a good idea to go outside for demonstration time.

Crazy eyes, they both had. Koga had multiple directions, and he had the triangle pupils.
Shin shook his head at the idea of going outside. "No need," He said. "It isn't like I'm shooting spirit gun blasts. I'm still working on that. Now, I can make bulletproof vests and riding Pokemon, and I'm working on shard armor, like something out of GARO."
"Hey, you know how it is around here, it iss jusst a good idea to mention caution, when assking to ssee powers before ssomeone blows you up." Koga Shrugged. " Letss ssee whatcha got Sshinbo!"
Koga watched wide eyed and intent, as someone he looked up to as an mentor prepared to display his new abilities. There was something magical about mutants that could summon and form something from nothing. All of his abilities were physical and had to do with his body, so watching someone that could manipulate their surroundings was entertaining.

Hm, so which first?
Good question.
Porygon?
Kay.
The Asian's eyebrows scrunched up in concentration. Tiny triangular barrier the colors of the Pokemon started drifting from out of nowhere, towards the center of the room. As Koga watched, the whole thing built itself up, pixel by pixel. Sooner, rather than later, there hovered the mount.
Porygon brought its beak up in a trill of victory.
Koga watched in fascination once he realized where he needed to be looking. Koga got up and walked over toward porygon." can I pet him?"
He wasn't sure if that would be healthy, would he get cut? He wanted to pet him anyway. but he hesitated, though his hand was drifting closer in case the answer was a yes.

"Mhm," Shin nodded. "I can make the edges rounded now, so they don't cut so much." If at all. It was too complicated a process for him to explain, so... he just left it at that.
"Also lets me make armor. Which helps when getting shot at." He added seriously.
Koga pet the Porygon, as his hand rubbed against the surface he tried to place what the texture of the shard reminded him of. He was in awe of the pocket monster in front of him. Koga was probably one of the few people who would have gladly listened to the complicated version of Shin's power explanation, but at the moment he was more than happy to simply be entertained by the vision in front of him.
He nodded distractedly to Shin. "That will come in handy with the police force. How doess Kealey feel about you joining the boyss in blue?" She should have a say if they were getting married.

"She likes the uniform," came the subtle smirk.
Of course, what woman wouldn't? Police uniforms being the fashion rage, and all.
Porygon rubbed his head against Koga's hand like a cat would. It was a shame shard constructs couldn't make sounds, otherwise it would have purred. Of course, this was the Asian controlling it, so maybe he should have made the purring sound? That would have been awkward!
An uncontrollable grin picked up the corners of his cheeks, he resisted cat calling at his mentor, but he couldn't suppress a small laugh at the answer that didn't really answer his question. "Well, I am ssure it goess againsst ssome regulation but when you do join them if you ever need me on the job I'm there for you." He shrugged. 'But really, that goess for whenever."
Koga pat the porygon a couple times on the head and sat back down on his stool. and apparently he couldn't not unload any longer. "So....My grandpa is a dragon. I was training on a mountain for about a year. Martial arts,meditation, weapons, hunting, survival.... and before that I got mixed up in this telepath's youth crime ring, he was brainwashing us. it sucked. but apparently his powers just broke one day. Everything felt sso wrong, I should have just come back here. But some time in solitude was good for me. Allowed me to let go of a lot of baggage. "
