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.
Hey people! I have an open thread slot, and I'm more then willing to role play with anyone that asks. We could spar, simply talk over a bowl of soup, chase down some gangsters that are causing trouble, or maybe practice using our powers together. Your call.
If you're still looking for a roleplay partner, I'm looking for a new thread or two as well. Right now Sky is Chibi, but I'm up for a session either pre-Chibi or current day while she still is Chibi.
Hm... maybe, but at the moment I don't have any ideas of what to role play out. That, and I'm not really up to date on the chibi thread, so no matter what Alex is gonna be an adult, just to warn you.
I'm sure I can think up an idea though. Do you have any though?

If its easier we can certainly do a thread just a little ways in the past just before Sky became Chibi. Currently she resides in The Mansion. Where does Rook stay?
I know what I'm intending to accomplish in Sky's near future. She's been the victim a few times since coming to MRO. I'm hoping to get the opportunity soon for her to be the one saving someone for a change, whether PC or NPC. Maybe something along those lines? Or if not, that's fine too I'm up for just about anything.
At the moment, Rook is staying in a motel until he finds a more permanent home and a job, which will happen in a solo thread I will be doing later on. I don't plan on having Alex move into the X-mansion until he becomes an X-Man himself, and that's not going to be for a while.
So you want something in which Sky can save Rook from something, eh? Well, it's impossible for Rook to learn how to swim thanks to an inner ear problem, so Sky could fish him out of some water with her powers. Now, if you mean Sky saves Rook from a fight, that one will be a little more tricky, mainly because Rook is more then capable of handling himself in a fight since his mutation lets him make any weapon of choice; and he's good at using his fists in combat. For this all I can think of is having Alex lose his malachite, which is needed for his mutation, and he's up against either another mutant or a group of anti-mutants protesters that are all armed with close range weapons.

Actually, I think it could be rather entertaining to have Sky save Rook from an evil watery lake or something lol. I was originally thinking of Sky saving someone from a fight, but I think water might be a good first step in making her a little more of a proactive individual when it comes to using her powers for good.
Okay, then saving Rook from drowning it is then. Now, I can think of several ways that Rook could end up taking a dip, such as he was walking across a bridge that crossed a lake and someone gave him a push just to be mean or funny, or he twisted his ankle while walking across a dock and fell in that way, or another mutant lost control of their powers and shoved Rook in by mistake... or another idea I can't think of at the moment. Rook wouldn't jump into the water willingly since he knows he can't swim.

Especially with M still prominent around, I'm sure its not entirely unusual to have someone losing control of their powers. Either that or falling off a bridge could work as well. There aren't earthquakes in New York, are there?
