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.

"...I'll buy you three." Primal whispered as his eyes watched the flames move back and forth in Khalil's hands. He gave the demon a once over again before jerking his head to the right for him to follow.
As they walked out of Central Park, Primal watched as Khalil's hips moved. He smirked and looked forward again, "So, what does 'Khalil' mean? I'm sure somethin'...voluptuous." Primal chuckled as they were soon joined by his hyenas. He loved the way his skin color. So...scarlet and tempting. Primal felt the strange urge to lick the side of his face to see if he tastes like cheery.

Derek shrugged, "All I here are excuses." He teased with a wink.
Once they were out of the car, he led them inside of the restaurant, "Of course it wouldn't." Derek rolled his eyes plafully. He then brought out his phone and showed Xavia the picture of Aleksandr, "and here's this Aleksandr. They're both hotter than me."
After Xavia got a good look, he shoved his phone back into his pocket got them a both by the window. Once they were seated, he looked over the menu. "I'll probably get a oversized burger or somethin'."

"Aw, poor thing," Derek gave Artair a couple of pats to the back, "no, they're friends too. Kendra and I are Xavia's lab and class assistance. Now you have two of us two worry about. Including Devon," S---! Why did Derek have to bring up his name?! He winced a bit before turning back to his fruit drink, "forget the last part I said." The mutant mumbled quickly, but still understandable to his bar mate.
Derek groaned, "but it's hard for me to talk to people I don't know. It makes me nervous. Think about it, how was I the first few minutes I met you?" Derek asked with raised eyebrows. He shook his head and turned his attention back to the dance floor. He was clearly giving eyes to the guy with the blue skin and glowy eyes. He wondered if the "lad" had any powers or if that was it for him. Either way, it's cool. Artair's comment and rolled his eyes, "you already planted your seed in one flowerpot already, Meirda." He winked at him playfully, then gave him several nudges.
"Well, the fox came home with me and she's currently roaming the third floor of the Honeycomb Cooperative," he answered, "you did scare me a little bit, but in all, I enjoyed it. It showed me what I was gettin' myself into," Derek smiled at Artair before picking up his phone, "now if you excuse me, I have some courage to muster."
After Derek got up from his bar stool, he gestured for Jace to give his best straight male friend a shot. Instead of heading to the blue man, he headed for the exit. When he got outside, he took a deep breath and placed the phone to his ear after dialing a number. He waited for him to pick up, but when he didn't, Derek decided to leave a voicemail.
"Hey, Devon (Tempest ), it's me, Derek, uh, I was thinkin', maybe you'd like to...have a picnic in Central Park on next Friday evening if you're not busy. And maybe...it could be a date? I know this is sorta out of the blue, but, y'know, take chances right?" he chuckled without humor, "anyways, if you don't wanna do it, then that's fine too. I understand completely," he paused, "have a good night."
Derek hung up the phone and stuffed it into his pocket before going back in. He made his way back to Artair and sat down beside him. He didn't say anything, but did take several gulps of hid daiquiri.

"It's uh," Derek looked down at the map and looked it over. He started to shift himself so that he could tell Leon the right thing, "it's east of here maybe seven meters?" He paused before looking up at the trees. He whistled a few times before a bat flapped and landed upside down on one of the low hanging tree branches.
"Can you search for the river for us please? I'll leave out a piece of fruit for you later when I head back in." The mutant smiled widely as the bat agreed and flapped off. Derek looked at Leon with a smile, "one minute," he whispered, putting his finger up.
After a few minutes, the bat came back and landed on Derek's shoulder, "it's that way," he pointed northeast, "do you want to follow him there?"

"Uh," Derek thought. He didn't know what Richard, himself, and a Meese could do in New York. There wasn't exactly places for them to go and have drinks with the largest deer species in the world, "...we could go stop traffic?" He offered with a shrug. He absentmindedly ran his fingers up and down her hump. God, she was just a beautiful creature that it made Derek grin.
He reached out for Richard for him to take his hand. "You can ride along, too. It'll be like some crazy animal movie or somethin'." Derek smiled kindly at Richard. Once he got on, the Meese started walking.
"Do you have anythin' in mind?" The twenty year old mutant asked, looking over his shoulder at Richard in question, "I'm up for literally anythin'."

Derek saw Rhett's face and didn't know if he should run or punch him in the face. Most likely the former since Derek wasn't a violent person. But then he started laughing. Again, Derek didn't know if he should laugh with him or, again, run.
"...Because I wouldn't know how to bring it up." Rhett seemed like he was cool with the whole squirrel thing. He watched the older man's movement closely and tried to determine whether or not he was safe from harm. Then again, mutants usually didn't hurt other mutants unless provoked...
Mutant name? Derek didn't know if he had a mutant name or not. He decided to answer Rhett's question about his powers, "I can communicate with and influence the behavior of animals of any species or family." Derek explained with a smile. "I...thought about Faunus, but I dunno what to name myself."

Derek nodded his head and smiled at Donahue. "Alright, sleep well. If you need anything, don't feel afraid to send me a call or anythin' like that." Derek smiled more before giving Don a light wave and walking out of the room and eventually out of Sanctuary.

"...Do what?" Okay, being here, Derek was much more comfortable with his sexuality, but asking guys for their number still gave him anxiety. With a deep breath, he stood up and looked down and over at Allegra. He sat down his glass on the counter top and went to talk to the group of mutants a few feet away.
He started talking to a couple of them. After about twenty minutes, Derek came back to Allegra with the blue guy's number written on his forearm.
"It was awkward at first, but they're really nice. Truth or dare, Missy?" Derek asked, taking his glass again and sipping from it. "Truth or Dare?" He asked with a kind smile.

Derek nodded his head once and smiled widely, "Great! I can't to see it, Kendra!" Kendra was certainly a beautiful girl and if Derek was straight, this would've been the point where he would've asked her out to dinner. However in this universe, Derek was gay. Biting his lip, he finished off his coffee and stood up from the bed.
"Of course! It's good to learn thin's about you too." Derek followed Kendra to the door with a smile. He hugged her back and chuckled a bit at the kiss. He was expecting that since it was a very southern thing to do. "I would love to! We should totally meet back up. Maybe for food or somethin'." He smiled more before exiting and walking down the hallway.
Turns out today was a very interesting day. With a light chuckle, he headed downstairs to the kitchen.

So what if he sent a couple of bats to check up on Artair and Xavia during their night out? Derek didn't find that creepy. Actually, he found doing that pretty resourceful (something he would have to bring up to Mister Boss Man later). Plus, he was sure that Xavia talked to her rooted buddies about keeping an eye on Derek.
Little flower pot.
On the subject of Delilah, Derek smiled, "speaking of the little seedling, took Mama and her out for ice cream after your mother cooked. It was the least I could do." He smiled sweetly at Xavia before facing forward and closing his eyes.

Derek panted a bit and stretched his hand out to the timber wolf. The beautiful canine gave Jorge's face one last lick before being influenced back into the forest. Once Derek felt like the wolf was a good distance away, he let up and walked over to Jorge.
With a smile, he wiped a bit of sweat from his forehead. "Well, that was a nice work out." he placed his hands on his waist and smiled widely at Jorge. "What's next? I think, uh, doing somethin' with marine animals would be nice. You never know when you might need a humpback or bull shark on ya side." Sharks...scared Derek. He scared them more than lions, hyenas, and other predatory animals. He didn't know why other than the fact that they had black eyes.
Derek looked over the forest landscape. It still amazed him how realistic the Danger Room looked. Then an idea came to mind and Derek looked back at Jorge. "...Maybe a light sparing session is in order? I don't know what I can do against Nep-- you, but it'll give me a bit of experience."

"Well that's obviously Aleksandr. He's a charmer and he can't help himself, but make my stomach trills," Derek paused, "but Devon is stable and he knows what he doin'. Stability is just as important to me than anythin' else." The mutant shook his head. "Too much feels. I can't even think straight,"
Soon their towncar came to the restaurant. Derek got out of the car after thanking the driver and stood on the sidewalk. As he waited for Xavia to get out of the car, he made sure to check himself. He turned his body so that he was looking at it from the side and smiled.
"God, I'm cute."

All three men stopped and turned to face the man that pulled out a gun. Derek's heart skipped a beat, but realized that he was on his on the same side. Derek looked to the two men who put their hands up and darted away.
"Thank you. Those two guys were harassing a mutant and I had to step in." He shook his hand and looked up at other man who came to assist him. "I wasn't sure I would be able to take on the two at once." Derek chuckled a bit breathlessly and looked around the alley.
"Are you an officer or law enforcement?"

"I-I have thought about training at the Mansion. Actually, that's where I first went to when I came to New York, but then I became aware of Haven and the good work they do." Derek answered with a small smile. He gave a glance around her room before focusing back on her.
So, she wanted to go with Derek on one of his night searches? He could do that no problem! There wasn't anything that he needed to hide from her so it was totally doable. "...Okay, yeah. We can arrange that. I think that would be better anyways so that you have an idea of what exactly I do."
Derek stood up from the chair and gave her a warm smile. "It was nice meetin' with you, Ms. Shinbo. I hope I didn't take too much of your time." After Derek shook her hand, he turned and walked out of her office. He would certainly keep in touch with her concerning the time and place they should meet in order for him to show her what he did. In all honesty, he was looking forward to it.
