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.

Emerald walked into the park with a smile stretching across her face. It was nice to come outside into the fresh air, it felt very relaxing here. She walked down the pathway, tail hidden from sight by her overly sized jacket but it still wagged back and forth beneath it.
Emerald smelt the air and caught a strange scent that she hadn't caught at the park before. Metal? Emerald thought to herself before she saw the serrated edge of what it seemed to be an old surgery scalpel in the hands of a man dressed in a doctors robes. The wolf girl let out a small snarl as he kept the knife trained on her before he circled around her like a shark wanting chum.
"Now just give me all your money and you wont get hurt at all." He said
Just as Emerald was about to Full on attack him she caught scent of another presence in the area.
"Now now, isn't this precious. You were just about to keep going and leave her alone, weren't you?"
The stranger's eyes flashed green as he looked at the mugger in contempt. The mugger seemed to see strange things about him, because he kept looking back and forth in a panic, a look of sheer terror on his face. "No... no! Stop, I don't want to see them...!"
"Then leave," the boy, who couldn't be much older than Emerald, growled.
Emerald waved a hand in front of the muggers face noticing he was to entrapped in the illusion to notice. She looked at the stranger with curious blue eyes.
"Okay so what exactly did you do to him that is making him all screaming zombie?" Emerald asked, wolve tail showing from under her jacket.
((blech thunderstorms gotta go soon You be on tommrow during the day?))
"The inside of his head is sick... I just made him see it," he said, scowling at the man as he ran off. "Almost made me feel dirty being near him... ah, well, he won't be threatening anyone else soon, I guess. You're all right, I take it?" ((sometime, not sure when or how long early on))
"Yes, thanks for that, " Emerald grinned, trying her best to keep her tail from popping out beneath her jacket. "So Obviously youre a mutant care to fill a fellow mutant in on your powers?"
"I can play on people's fears, twist their minds," he said, idly, as if he was saying that he could ride a bike. He looked around, noticing people who had seen the strange mugger run off. "We might want to move... people saw that, and the last thing we need is for all these idiots to see your tail when someone reports what happened," he said in a lower voice, urging her to keep moving down the sidewalk.
"Good point, the last thing I need is to be taken by the labs....again." Emerald added the last part with a grimace as she kept walking on the sidewalk. "So since you twist peoples minds should I call you Mindtwister or is there another name I may call you by?"
He shook his head. "I'm from out of state. I've been kind of living out of hotel rooms for a while. What about you?"
Now that the danger was over, his face seemed more friendly, and he smiled at the girl. He did seem vaguely familiar, but not close enough to his older brother to place.
Emerald felt something about him that seemed familiar but honestly couldnt think of anything. She shrugged it off before she came back to reality. "Im living up at the Insitute right now with my Younger sister." Emerald smiled, "I have only been there for a few months though."
"Yep! I made good friends with a girl who is part cat and A guy who is really powerful and can do all kind of stuff with his mind, like lift things and go into peoples heads and stuff." Emerald grinned, tail begining to wag.
"Unfortunatly though I met a few enemies from the past that decided to visit me while I was at the institue." Emerald said with a short growl. "But it is still one of the nicest places i have been to.
