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.

Derek moistened his lips. He looked at Xavia for a while before leaning and giving her a warm hug. He hoped that she didn't scare her, but he just felt like she needed one.
"Again, thank you. I'll see you tomorrow," he pulled away and took in a deep breath. "Do you know the number for the cap service? I can take on back to the Mansion so you don't have to drop me off."

"Well luckily we can communicate with each other. Isn't that great?"[/i] Derek smiled widely at the predator and slowly took steps toward her. Apparently dinosaurs did have feathers. Which explains how they evolved into birds and soworth. He glanced up into Amber's reptile eyes before gently running his fingers against her feathers.
"In this form you can take down a lot of people." He said with a vocal chuckle. "How did you find the fossils for the three animals you can turn into? Did you go to a museum?"

Derek nodded his head. "Yes, sir. I mean, Artair. Sorry, force of habit." He smiled nervously at Artair. He couldn't mess this up. Doing so would result in letting down his future Haven mates.
"Yeah, that's true. Which is why I haven't used my powers in orders at the Mansion." He, returning the smile. Derek would probably be punished with picking up the droppings that the animals would leave after they assisted him indoors. When Artiar said that if he started singing that he would never live it down, Derek started laughing. "Well, since you brought it up," Derek cuffed his hand around his mouth and looked up and off to the side. Taking in a deep breath, Derek acted like he was about to sing before stopping. "Trust me, I'll be doing none of that."
"Yes, I can. Though, I do have a few questions. Number one: When made an official member, do I get a partner? Second: Do I get a badge or have to wear a uniform? And second, can we do a bake sale and have the procedes go to the Young Mutant Foundation?" Derek counted the questions off on his fingers.
"I'm ready to spar." Derek wiped his sweaty hands on his joggers. "I've never really learned how to fight, but I'm a quick learner."

Derek laughed. "That's true. I haven't really tried controlling insects yet, but I'm sure I could do some damage. Like with bees or hornets." He shrugged his shoulders. He never thought of using his powers offensively, but if push came to shove, he'd certainly defend himself and anyone else who was in danger.
When Allegra didn't know what he was talking about, he decided to drop it and move on to another topic. "Ah, never mind. It's not important."
Derek took another sip out of his drink and smiled at Allegra. It tasted amazing! Honestly, he could drink this all today and never get sick of it. "It's really good. Thank you." He smile kindly ay her before turning his attention to the pool. A couple of mutants were playing in the pool, but no one in particular caught his eye.
"You and I both." He laughed a bit. "Maybe I'll get to meet a great white. Maybe swim along side them or something like that." Derek shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Derek nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Especially after meeting you." He answered with a grin. "And I've decided that I want to attend NYU in the fall. I want to restart my education, y'know?"

Derek sighed. He really had to think about this. Xavia has been so kind to him that to decline would be rude. He didn't want that nor did he want to make her upset. He bit his lip and bounced his knee.
"Let me think about. I'll let you know by the end of the week," Derek stood up from her couch and smiled. "If you need any help here with moving furniture or anything like that, just let me know and I'll come runnin'." The mutant smiled warmly at Xavia. "Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. You've been a great and wonderful help."

Even though Amber couldn't turn into parasaurolophus, Derek was still excited about the prospect of her turning into a dinosaur.
"That's okay. Uh, could you turn into a styracosaurus ? That's the one with the one long horn and the spikey frill? I think so." Derek rubbed his hands together. He was so excited to see a dinosaur in real life. When Amber told her that it would be smart for her to look away, he listened and turned around. He could hear the change happening behind him, but unlike Lot's Wife, he didn't turn around to see the transformation.
When he heard the greeting, Derek slowly turned around to find himself face to face with not a styracosaurus, but the rapor, deinonychus. He stared at her for a while before moistening his lips.
Hey, Amber. Nice feathers." He said telekinetically. "I think we can understand each other."

When Kendra went upstairs, Derek decided to go back into the greenhouse to finish watering the plants. After he did so, he stocked the closet that was in classroom, recorded the quantity of the different beakers and elements that were now in stock. He made a little note for Xavia to get more sodium and fertilizer.
As soon as Derek finished, Kendra came downstairs with her camera. Derek smiled widely at his fellow southern mutant. "We shall." He nodded his head and followed Kendra out.
After a while of walking, he turned his attention to Kendra's face. "So, do you cook? I love cookin'. It's relaxin'. I've been cravin' a peach cobbler." He told her a grin. "I've been also been craving shrimp 'n grits."

"Nice to meet you, Max." He smiled kindly at him, then looked back over at geese again. When he heard the pun, Derek chuckled. He loved puns. He thought they were pretty punny.
"No usually," He answered, "I just couldn't help, but take a gander at them." Derek played back with a wide smile on his face. He sat back up straight from his hunched over position and continued to feed the birds around him. "Don't they just give you the goose bumps?"

"Oh, thank you for that. It'll mean a lot. Hopefully I can get at least two recommendation letters to add to the chance of me being accepted here." Derek gave the place another once over. It was truly a place where he could call home for a very long time. Maybe for the next decade or so.
Derek nodded his head. "I'm a mutant." He answered truthfully. Since Richard was staying here, he assumed that Richard probably was one too. When he went on to say that he could manipulate inorganic matter, his assumption was confirmed.
"Really? That's really amazing," Derek's eyes were wide. The first god that popped into his mind was the god of metalwork, Hephaestus. He could imagine him pounding away at metals and other materials... "I can influence the behavior of animals and communicate with them." He exchanged with a grin. "Are most of the people who stay here mutants too?"
"Well, let's get a move on, then! I'm excited to see all the different animals." Derek returned the smile and headed out with Richard.
After Derek pulled out Central Park Zoo on his iPhone, he found out that the zoo closed at 5:00pm. It was currently 5:45.
"Oh, damn. The zoo's closed forty-five minutes ago." He looked at Richard. "Is there anything else you want to do?"

"Of course!" Derek exclaimed with excitement, "can you turn into a brachiosaurs? Wait, no, no, a, ah...an iguanodon." Derek stopped so that Amber didn't get annoyed with his excitement. It had to be a dinosaur that wouldn't cause people to scream and run away. With a few seconds of eternal thinking, Derek found the right dinosaur that he wanted Amber to turn into.
"A parasaurolophus!" That was his favorite duck-billed dinosaur of all time. "Can you do that one?"

Derek laughed t her GPS and breadcrumbs statement. "They might be taken away by ants."[/color] He told her, referring to the breadcrumbs. "Maybe do a piece of string and track your whereabouts like, uh, that guy did in the labyrinth." Derek tried to think of who it was. He had some guesses and one of them felt like the right one. "Theseus! That's who it is." He really needed to brush up on his mythology.
"Of course! That smoothie looks amazing." Derek reached for the glass and took it. He discreetly smelled it before taking a taste of it. "Oh! Raspberries! I like raspberries. Love them, actually."
Derek leaned over to look at the drawing. "Aww! That's us! We could make that happen with the dolphins." Derek answered, "It would be hard, but possible."[/font]

Derek rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah. It sorta saved me from getting mauled by a dog so," Derek shrugged his shoulders. He could remember the event like it was yesterday. If it hadn't been for that dog breaking lose, Derek wouldn't never discovered his powers. Prior to that, he just assumed that animals knew what he was talking about and it because he told them to. Now he knew that it was so much more than that.
Derek nodded his head. "Which I admire. I love how humanitarian and good this organization is." He said with a wide grin. "I hope I can become a real asset for the Haven."
"Woah," Derek watched in amazement at the knives while also taking a step back. "That's --- wow. Your powers must really come in handy." He made a special note about Artair's powers. "I think I heard about this from the Mansion. Being able to form objects out of sear will power or mental strength," the newbie paused. "I would demonstrate, but," Derek looked around, "There aren't any animals around. That's a con to my powers, unfortunately."

"Sure! I'd love to go on a walk with you." This would be a perfect opportunity for him to get to know his fellow assistant as well as hear more about the great work that Kendra was doing. He also liked her sweet, southern voice and her delicate demeanor and stature.
Derek smiled kindly at Kendra. Maybe it was her southern charm or the fact that they both came from the south that he felt this connection with her. "Do you want me to walk you to your room or do you want me to wait here for you to come back?"

Derek nodded his head again in agreement. "Very much like one."
The mutant tried to think about it. "I'm not for sure..." He bit his lip in thought before a lightbulb went off in his head. With a gasp, he turned to look at Amber. "Wait, can you turn into a dinosaur?! I love dinosaurs!" Derek bounced a bit on his toes from excitement and pure glee. He remembered being a kid and having so many toy dinosaurs.

"Thank you, Xavia. You really have been too kind to me." Derek smiled warmly at the Hungarian mother. He wondered if he should stay at Xavia's home. He didn't want to make her life even more stressful than what it already was. With thought, he came to a decision.
"How about this: I'm going to look around for an affordable apartment and if I can't find one, then I'll move in. I don't want to add extra stress for you."
