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.

Woah, Artair was clearly having problems coping with the fact that something seriously wrong. He continued to look over his shoulder at Artair, his brown eyes holding confusion and a bit of fear. "Over our heds?" Derek repeated, turning his attention down to the fox that was in front of him, then back over his shoulder at Artair. Was being apart of Haven going to be too much for Derek? God, he hoped not.
Derek trusted Artair. He had done anything but be kind to him since they met. He took his hand and stood up from his squatting position. "O-okay." He let his hand linger before letting go.
As they started walking, Derek looked over his shoulder to find that the fox was following them. "Looks like we have company." Derek said to Artair. "Alright, you can come help." The fox almost looked happy as she hurried along beside them.

Derek made sure to pay close attention to the lesson that Xavia was giving him. He knew that it would be a very smart idea for Derek to heed the advice. "I promise I wont strain myself when using my powers," Derek said sincerely, "I'll try to not push myself too much."
Or maybe her baby was a mutant like she was. That was another possibility.
"That's okay. That's the price of being friends with a pregnant woman." Derek grinned nd playfully nudged her. "Really?! Great!" Derek perked up a bit and smiled down at Dryad. "Do you need anything from me?"

"Same here," Derek grinned, "maybe we'll be in the same Gen. Ed. classes together." That would be really great if another Havenite was also on campus with Derek (along with Merida who was also there). "That is if I get in."
Derek chuckled at the nickname he was given. "Mother Goose? That's a new one. Usually I'm called Snow White or another Disney princess. Maybe I should just change m'code name to somethin' like...Disney Prince." Derek loved the nicknames he was getting from his friends. It made him feel special, "and as far as my mutation goes, I can communicate and influence the behavior of animals."
"Ah, okay. I just wanted to make sure," Derek grinned over at Max, giving him a once over before turning his attention to the waterfowl in front of him. He fed them the last of his bread before leaning back in his seat. Now he was able to give Max his feel attention.
"That'll be great. Training is always somethin' that I'm up for especially if it's partner work."

"No, I just learned really quickly to block out noises from insects," Derek could remember the first time his powers for communicating with animals started to form. He was afraid that he was hearing voices in his head. It took Derek a few times to realize that he could actually "talk" to animals.
"Are you sure? I can go get you somethin'. I don't know what pregnant mutants need. Maybe there's a book?" Derek could be a good midwife if he tried hard enough.
"...Oh," Derek blushed, "well, let's keep you far away from cheese," Derek paused, "can I ask you a favor? Can you grow...or give me a pot of honeysuckle? I really love licking the nectar out of it."

Derek was still in awe at what he was seeing. How could hard light constructs create such a realistic environment? It was obviously something that was totally scientific and technology based. Derek was more interested with the biological stance of STEM.
At the answer that he was given, Derek smirked, "yeah, I would guess that there would be a lot of programed, hard light people being generated," and the last thing Derek needed was for someone to walk in on him making out with a hologram.
Now with the Danger Room in perfect condition for Derek to use his powers, the mutant turned toward the forest and took in a deep breath. Lifting up his arms from his sides, Derek closed his eyes. He started to communicate with the wildlife that was currently in the forest. There was some birds that started to chirp and soon a three of finches landed on his arms. Derek opened his eyes and grinned a bit.
"...I'm not gonna sing." Derek told Jorge over his shoulder with a light chuckle. He focused again and tried to draw out some more animals. "Hey, guys, you don't have to be afraid. I won't harm any of ya." Derek waited patiently. Two squirrels came down from the trees and sniffed in Derek's direction. "Hey squirrels," he smiled, "are there any deer back there? Tell them it's okay to come out." One of the squirrels ran off into the thicket.
After about a minute, the squirrel came back followed by a beautiful stag. Derek smiled widely and slowly turned back to face Jorge. "This is how I usually communicate with animals. I try not to influence their behavior, but sometimes if one is about to attack, I have to use my active power on them." Derek explained to Jorge.

Derek nodded his head, "yes, sir." He shook his hands loose again and got into the stance that Ranger had told him to get into before; keeping his legs spaced out and his hands up.
When the punch came Derek did a side step to the inside of his arm and grabbed it. Each time Ranger threw a punch, he noticed that it got faster and faster. Derek would alternate between doing the inside and outside of the arm.
Panting, he swiped a bit of sweat from his forehead and smiled, "I'm ready for the throw, Ranger. I think I got it."

So, it was official Aleksandr and himself would be going out for coffee in a few minutes. Derek couldn't believe that he actually agreed. He bit his lip tried not to have a goofy smile across his face. "Cool, thanks for agreein' to go get coffee with me."
Derek smirked. He didn't know if ALeksandr thought that he was playing around when he told him that he was an animal charmer. It was true, Derek did have the power to influence the behavior of animals. Maybe he'd bring it up during their little coffee pre-date.
"Thank you!" Derek made a beeline for the bar and made for his food and the two servings of daiquiris he had. "You don't have to do that," Derek looked over his shoulder as Aleksandr followed him, "if it is cold, I'll just heat it up when I get back to my apartment." He asked the bartender to put it into a to-go box and place it in the bag. The bartender did so and handed his food to Derek. The latter gave him a ten dollar tip.
Turning around full to look at Aleksandr, he smiled and placed a shaky hand on the small of his back. "You ready to get coffee now?" He asked as he headed out from the bar. He didn't know where the nearest coffee place was, but he and his new "friend" was going to find one.

Derek knitted his eyebrows and got up from the ground. He walked around the campfire to get a better look at the gloves in his hand. They didn't look like normal gloves, but metallic ones. "Huh, I guess these are used to pluck out your spines?" Derek asked in question. He looked at the other things that Leon had pulled out. Taking the gloves, he slipped them on and wiggled his fingers around. They felt weird, but also like regular gloves.
Looking at Leon, Derek decided to try again, "now will you let me help you? I have gloves now. I don't want my partner wounded."

Uh oh, well now another emotion was being to raise to the surface and that was anxiety. He wasn't sure if telling Kealey that his friend and apartment mate, Jude, had recommended her. Derek shifted a bit and began to chew at the inside of his cheek.
"Well, ah," Derek cleared his throat and smiled a bit at Ms. Shinbo. "I heard that you designed the suits from a ex-X-Men trainee." There, Derek wasn't giving any names, but at the same time giving Ms. Shinbo information. It's a win win for everyone.
Derek wasn't sure about the next question. Of course he was now officially part of the Haven, but he didn't think he'd gone through anything too rigorous. Though, training with Ranger felt like he did. "Well...no, I'm fine. Thank you," he chewed on his lip, "I'm guessin' so?"

"It's what's best friends are for," Derek shrugged his shoulders and playfully nudged her with his shoulder, "either that or I have the primal need to protect every member of my herd. Talking to animals all day makes you see thin's differently than most. You have a different...mentality. Different mannerisms." Like wanting to sniff and cuddle close friends and snarl at anyone who gets close to them.
Derek looked down at Xavia and noticed that she was in pain. He shifted his body so that he was facing her. "Are you okay?" He asked in a whisper, "do you need any tea or medicine or anythin' like that?"
On the subject on food, Derek decided to change his mind. "I think you're right. Chinese would be better. We can grab take out."

After Derek entered the office, he gave a quick look around before sitting on the other side of Ms. Shinbo's desk. Her office look nice and cozy. Nothing too flashy, but at the same time it showed that she was a woman of importance.
"Well, I ah-- first off allow me to officially introduce myself. My name is Derek Menes. I'm twenty years old and moved here about a month ago, first starting at the Mansion. I stayed there for about a week before I transferred into the Honeycomb Cooperative." Derek chewed on his bottom lip nervously before straightening his back and placing his feet flat on the floor. "I was hoping that since you make the uniforms for the X-Men that you would perhaps make one for me."
Derek wouldn't mention his current Faction ties unless he had to.

Derek nodded his head once. He understood that some things should be kept to themselves. Derek wasn't the one to pry anyway since he knew that most things were best kept private.
"Well do you have somethin' better?" He asked with a sly smile on his face. He watched Jude go from the kitchen to the stairs. He must've had fresh mushrooms in his kitchenette. Derek smiled more and turned his attention down to the soaking leg of lamb.
After a bit of time, Jude came down the stairs with fresh mushrooms. "Oh, that looks great! Why better than canned mushrooms. You can cook those while I chop the onions." Derek looked around the kitchen. "I just need to put the lamb in something so it can go straight into the oven when it's finished."

Derek sighed, knowing that it was true. "Fine, but you're goin' to be followed by a hawk whenever you leave your house. I'll make sure of that." Derek felt the need to protect Xavia even though she didn't need it. Xavia was a strong woman all on her own, but with her being pregnant, she wouldn't be at full strength.
"She'll like you! That's somethin' that you don't have to worry about!" Once Allegra met Xavia, she will like her as much as Derek did. Maybe even more if she sees Derek's closet. "We can also order a pizza and hang out at my new space at the Honeycomb Co-op. I'm sure my roommates won't mind."

Derek was scrolling through his phone when he heard the door open and his name being called. He quickly looked up to see a blue eyed, blonde haired woman who introduced yourself as "Kealey Shinbo." With a wide smile, Derek stood up from his seat and walked toward her.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Shinbo. You can call me Derek. Mr. Menes is my father." Derek chuckled a bit and offered a hand to her and smiled politely. "Thank you for seeing me, by the way. It's a real pleasure."
The mutant really hoped that Kealey Shinbo would craft a costume for him. He was more than willing to pay. He even had a speech made if need be.
