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.
@ Saph: you should totally have Saph looking for Agnes. Since she will be one of Sebastian’s horsemen. She will be living in seclusion out in the wilderness, trying to live with herself after having played a part in causing the world to turn to this. She will be bitter, angry, and in commands of legions upon legions of insects. I would love for Saph to seek her out to make her pay, only to learn that she was just a confused mansion student who was tricked.
My poor Jorge settlement. He just wants there to be at least some pocket of civilization left in the world. I don’t exactly know if the man would trust an ex-politician to have any say in his settlement (since he doesn’t trust politicians to begin with).
Also, I was playing with the idea of the (phantom) attribute points. I could just make Jorge’s power super refined so that he will be able to sense/track clean (not poisonous) water. Maybe that will make him a sought after commodity in a world struggling for certain resources?
Markus, doesn't really have anything to gain in the apocalypse, he's just living out his days trying to do what he can to occupy himself while he awaits oblivion.

With both Agnes and Amber living out in the wilderness, that might make for an interesting interaction should they encounter one another. Given the world we'll be living in, I'd imagine Amber will have to range quite far in order to hunt for enough food to sustain her little pack.
@ Sky: That would definitely be fun! Yes, my plans are for Agnes to live in seclusion and have a territory that is wrought with her insects and won't let anyone through unless they have her permission (tactic to keep people away). So far the only person who will have her permission is Gina, but it would be interesting to see Amber wander through as well!

Essays, assignments and other such annoyances have kept me away from MRO for far too long, on the bright side by June all that should be dealt with, and I am looking forward to dipping my toes into this post-apocalyptic world <3 Fallout. Not sure what role, if any Verdy will be playing... pretty sure she'll be keeping Capt. Jack with her though. Shall have to plot more before I decide~

@agnes - I see Amber's main protection being in the seclusion of her and her pack. She'll most likely be living in the underground subway system and ranging on the surface for food. She doesn't particularly have anything exceptional to defend her terroritory except her sometimes exceptional but still natural senses and the fact that not many people, mutant or not, are going to want to mess with a dinosaur!
I've always wanted to get involved in the future plot and was pissed cause I missed it there is no way I would pass up throwing Joe into this mix. Don't really know where he is gonna fall right now but hey who knows I'm down.

Aly
I wonder if Agnes and Rebecca will run into one another in the future. I mean, Rebecca will probably kill Agnes, but hey, at least it's the future that won't happen ^^;;
More recent info on my previous post, I actually think I may need multiple people to plot with, and since it all relates, I need multiple interested parties! PM for further info

Depending on what exactly is going on with the nuke, Juka might be interested. Are we talking about the undetonated nuke? If so, is it going to be around Celeste's bunker? I know that was something that was talked about, I'm just not sure if it was formalized or not.
Anyone using that perfectly good mansion? The one that only the x-men could ever have accessed all of? No? Okay I'm thinking I might plant a flag in it for certain purposes only I shall know. I know it would be one of those things that people would have flocked to and ransacked but I figure a few of the lower rooms might still be usable and un-ravaged by the savages. I have an idea I'd like to use.
Also an idea, perhaps a radio station or two broadcasting? I imagine a live broadcast of the pit fights roach would be running would make for popular listening.

If anyone is interested in the pit fights, be it as a willing contestant for a cut of the supplies that people paid to get in, or as an involuntary battle slave, fighting for your freedom, send me a PM on the Saphirus account!
Your characters will not be stuck in the arena if you put them in; Ideally it would only bog them down for one thread, maybe two, and you can go off to enjoy other fun wasteland activities!
