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 followed Xavia out of the van and up into the house through the side door. The interior was beautiful and homey like she describe. The piano put a nice classy feel on the house which Derek loved. "Your house is beautiful." He complimented with a smile on his face.
Just then a girl came running down the hall. The girl was obviously Xavia's daughter. He watched the embrace and smiled at the sweet moment the two of them shared.
"Hey, Delilah," Derek cooed, "it's nice to meet you. Your mom has told me a lot of very good things about you." He gave her a little wave back. Derek noticed that Delilah was special needs, but didn't say anything about it. Once she ran off, his attention turned to Xavia.
"She's a very sweet girl." He whispered. "Have you thought about getting her a pet?"

Derek nodded his head. "Persian. Right." He sighed and looked at Leon, then back ahead. He had a point about the origin of the Manticore. Derek always thought that it was Greek, but apparently it was Persian. He'd have to keep that in mind when running into Leon again.
"What can I do?" Derek repeated, looking over his shoulder at Leon before stopping. "I can talk and influence the behavior of animals. Simple. Nothing flashy." He shrugged his shoulders before he started walking again. "Aside from your handsome exterior, what else can you do?"

It was such a beautiful day that Derek decided that he would head out to where the recreational area was on the Mansion ground and mingle. He finished restocking the closet for Xavia's lab and made sure that the animals were fed in the greenhouse and now had some down time.
Wearing a green tank top and a pair of khaki shorts, Derek decided that he would go sit by the poolside and watch everyone swim. When he got there, Derek noticed an older man practicing his powers. It was very interesting to watch because his moment was so fluid -- no pun intended -- and full of power. The man clearly knew what he was doing.
Clearing his throat, Derek decide to watch him further. It was honestly inspiring.
"Yeah, su--." Derek couldn't finish his sentence as his eyes trailed up to the man who was standing in front of him. His jaw dropped lightly open. This Adonis standing before him. This pillar of man who's eyes looked like pools of blue oceans and skin that shone like ivory in the New England sun. And those lips. Oh, God, those lips. Soft, pink, plump. Was this man mortal or a god? Maybe Zeus or Apollo.
Derek had opened his mouth to respond, but nothing came out. Why was he smiling at him? Was this a joke? Where was Ashton Kutcher? The hidden cameras? None of this seemed real right now.
"Uh, yeah, you can sit anywhere you'd like." Derek couldn't peel his eyes away from Devon. God, even his name sounded heavenly. Devon...Devon. He watched him sit down a few feet from him. "My Derek's Name. I-I mean my name is Derek." Come on, Derek, get yourself together!
Derek tried to return back to his laptop screen, but he couldn't focus. Not even more. "Nice to meet you." After the initial shock, Devon looked familiar. He couldn't think of where he might be from The squirrels seemed to be laughing at Derek which resulted in his face being soaked in blush.

Derek laughed, shaking his head. "No, no. That's not considered a special need. You might need to go for a different route in order to get a bigger room. Maybe ask for a bigger room because you feel cramped in the one you have now." He offered with a shrug of his shoulders.
Derek was sad that Allegra felt that way about yourself. It wasn't right to put yourself down even if what she was saying was true. "...You might need to see the school guidance counselor or somethin'. The way you feel isn't healthy for your mentality."
"Yeah, I have to agree with you on that. Animals aren't self serving as humans are. And if they are, it's because they need to survive." Derek moistened his lips and looked around the garden. "Yeah, the science and math part I wish I could just pass through, but I have to go through the steps." Which he didn't want to do, but y'know. That's life. "And I'd love to be able to see your designs! When we go back in you can show me." He smiled at Allegra.
Derek had to chuckle at the last part. "You are not ugly. Come on, you know you're not ugly. You have blonde hair, green eyes, fair, skin, a nice posture. Honestly, you can get any heterosexual guy in the world." And Derek meant that.
"And I agree with you. They are racist pigs, but that's just the fact of being here being in America." Derek huffed and tried to come down. "Sorry. I don't mean to whine and complain. Sometimes I'm just tired." And he sounded tired too.
Derek looked at Allegra smiled widely at her. "Thank you, Aphro-- I mean Allegra. Sorry." He shook his head. "Sorry, sorry." He laughed and slowly stood up. "Well, that was very emotional."

"Okay, that's fair." Derek knew that mutants, especially those who looked a little strange or different. He didn't want to bring any more pain to Leon than that was already there. To pass the time, Derek decided to talk about himself. Maybe Leon will feel more comfortable.
"I'm from the capital in North Carolina. It's a, uh, pretty good state, I guess." Derek started, "I had a pretty good childhood. No major problems until I started to show my mutant powers among other things," making his way through the trees, he felt at home. It was weird to him, "that's when left got complicated. Now, I'm sure it was totally different from your experience as a mutant who resembles one of the most fearsome beasts in Greek mythology." Derek looked over at Leon and sighed.
"I'll shut up now."

"Well at least you're keeping busy. That's the important part." Derek gave Xavia a smile before turning forward to look at the house that was connected to the other side of the driveway. From the outside, it looked beautiful. "I hope to be as useful and important as you are." Derek looked at Xavia with slight adoration before looking forward again.
Derek slowly nodded his head. That made sense, then. Not really. Things were complicated for Xavia. He reached down and unbelted his seatbelt. "So you find Abyss, you find Jupiter. Do you know what hemisphere they're in or have a general idea?"

Derek turned his head to look at Gina again when she started talking. He always had problems multitasking. Plus, Derek wanted Gina to know that he was paying attention to her. "Really? That's cool. I just...-- well, I'm thinking about going to school at NYU. If anything, this place is where I can hone my powers and abilities. I don't even know if I want to be an X-Men. That was the end game for me when I arrived, but now I'm unsure." The good thing about being in New York was that you could reinvent yourself and find out you wanted to be. This was Derek's chance to do just that.
"Yeah, that's true," Derek paused, "I heard about this one place. It's called a Co-op. Have you heard about it?"

Derek rolled his eyes playfully and gave up. "Okay, okay. I'll take the CD." He smiled. "And I'll donate nine dollars to Make A Wish Foundation." The mutant grinned and looked ahead. He was glad that he was able to meet Xavia. She was full of surprises. "What else do you do?" He asked curiously. "Fly planes? Fight Kangaroos?"
"...Is Abyss a bad guy?" Derek asked carefully. "Is that the main reason you can't find Jupiter?" Derek asked

Derek had taken the initial to starting up his education again. He wanted continue what he started down in North Carolina. NYU was the number one choice for Derek simply because he heard good things about the university and how mutant friendly it was. The day was perfect with clear skies, mid seventies, and a nice breeze that kept everyone cool. It almost seemed too perfect.
After a tour of the campus, Derek decided that he would apply for the fall of this year. It was something hat he had to do in order to restart his life not only as a mutant, but as...Derek.
Now sitting in the greenery of the university with his laptop in his lap, Derek was filling in the online application. He hoped that his GPA would allow him to enter into the university. It was beautiful in every way. As he was sitting there, a couple of squirrels cautiously came over, sniffing around before comfortably lay down a few inches away from him.
"Hey, little guy," Derek looked over at him with a grin. "I don't have anything on me you can eat." He continued with a grin. He turned back to his laptop when another squirrel came over. Fifteen minutes after that, a pigeon flew over. Derek looked like an animal magnet with animals surrounding him. If anything, it was comforting for the mutant.

Derek took the map from Leon. "Thanks," He unfolded it and looked for the red dot that would signify where they were supposed to set up camp. The African American mutant looked up from the map and glanced around before making an executive decision to head slightly to the right. "That way." He pointed before turning his head to look at Leon.
He was about to start walking when Leon spoke again. "I know. I know you're poisonous. When I realized that I was partnered with you, the counselor told me about your quills and told me to stay away from them. She, even gave me anti-venom just in case." Derek studied Leon's physique before smiling kindly at him. "Look. I understand that you don't want to," Derek stopped speaking when he stood up. "Damn you're tall, but uh, anyway. I know that you're not-- I don't think you're a bad guy. Intimidating, but not scary. We're partners for a the next twenty four hours so, y'know, relax. I'll stay away from your quills as best I can." He nodded and started walking. "...So, where are you from?"

"I do like it." Derek answered truthfully. "I like the way your voice sounds when you sing." The mutant complimented. "Aw, you don't have to give me a CD, Xavia. You work hard for your music. I'll be more than happy to pay for it." Derek smiled kindly at Xavia. "Thanks for the offer."
Derek slowly nodded his head. "Have you tried tracking him down or...?" He didn't want to bring up any feelings of hurt, but he was curious. "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"You're welcome." Derek put his own backpack on and lightly gripped the straps. He could tell that Leon was very hesitant which Derek could understand. He had quills that could put Derek in the hospital or worse. He didn't want to get stabbed by one of those so he kept his distance.
"So, uh," Derek took off his backpack and squatted down in front of Leon. "I think the map is in your bag. They split up the supplies so that no one had everything..." Derek moved things around until he came to the conclusion that he didn't have the map. "Yeah, it might be in your bag."

Derek closed his eyes and relaxed in his seat as he listened to Xavia sing. She had just a beautiful voice! "Is this album on iTunes? If it's not, then I want to buy a CD, Layla." He teased with a wide smile. "But seriously, I want to buy a CD."
He slowly nodded his head when Xavia started talking to him about what the meaning behind the song was. "Oh, I'm sorry. Do you know if he's still alive or...?" He asked hazardously.

Derek was his phone when he heard the inner doors open. He immediately looked up and pocketed his phone. Standing in front of him was a man who looked to be Pacific Islander with dark hair and dark colored eyes.
With a smile, Derek gave him a small wave. "Hey, Richard. It's nice to meet you." He said as he walked passed the inner doors. Derek listened closely to Richard talk about the apartment. It was beautiful, just like the pictures on the website.
"It's really amazing here. How much is the rent?" Derek asked.
