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.

Takes a sip and nods at him. "That's true, there is always someone worse than you at a fight, however, there is always the chance that someone will be actually trained. Then its you being cleaned up on the floor." Takes another sip, finishing her drink and sets it down, raising her hand for another. "Then again...," looks over at him, "You very well could get a girls sympathy on the beatdown and get her to nurse you back to health for a night." Or it could backfire on him and the girls wouldn't want to help someone who lost a fight, but she wont say that all.
Rayne looks at the bartender again and nods when he brings over another beer, pushes the lime in with her thumb and looks back at Jericho. "Don't mind at all. You aren't bad company." When he leaves a moment or so later to do his rounds, Rayne glances around the bar before taking a few longer sips of her beer before asking for a whiskey, double. Something to have later.
During this time, Rayne can hear the two guys getting just a little too rowdy for this bar and watches Jericho head over and calm them down. Its a good thing they didn't want a fight, two on one never really ends well. Though the little girl he escorts out makes her smirk. Either get a better fake ID or don't try. When Jericho does come back, Rayne chuckles lightly. "Maybe she liked your ass despite being angry you caught her." The bartender would have caught the fake, shes seen it a few times already since she has been coming here, but that was funny.

Rayne nods to him. "Yeah I guess the bunny genes would make it troublesome to watch someone eat a steak in front of you." She has no problem with that seeing as all her animals are predators. Rayne might not have her animal attributes on the outside like he does with his ears, but she does know about being different and sticking out, so all she can do is suggest not hiding. Hiding does no good.
"When you are forced to read the subtitles, that's what you have to focus on the most. Not the animation. It takes away from the episode." Watching the dubbed versions lets her see the anime itself. Not just the words. She can see the whole store and not just bits and pieces when she is through reading.
Rayne had to agree with him, that this is where they parted ways for the day. What she needed was elsewhere then where he was headed. "Yeah, this is where I shop when I need things, so for sure I will see you around here. Till next time." With that, Rayne pushes her cart towards a different part of the store, where the hardware is. She is in need of a new microwave. Hers just went...byebye.

His uncle was smart, making him work a few different jobs at the bar to see where he would work best. That way he will know for sure what the best fit is and not place him somewhere that wont work out and just fail or have bad repercussion's for the bar. She likes this place and having it shut down for something stupid...that would suck.
Honestly Rayne could probably kick his ass, though she wont unless he gets handsy and she likes to keep her background quiet. Better to surprise them. "Why don't you take some classes then so you don't get your ass handed to you one day? Or you can just break their nose or knock the wind out of them. Most people don't want to continue when they have a busted nose. Or if they get winded." That should be very safe to say since most girls know how to at least do that to defend themselves. Of course the guys wont kick others in the balls so she wont mention it to him.
Rayne shakes her head slightly and takes a sip before replying. "You don't have to leave if you don't want to, I was just letting you know so you didn't put in all the work for nothing. Figured I'd save you some time and energy."

"I stood out as the new kid here when I first moved, it wasn't fun. Things might be different in Japan but for now, all I have is what I got here." Rayne grabs a new scrubber before moving a bit down the isle and grabbing a packet of sponges. When she learns that hes got a boyfriend and nota girlfriend, Rayne doesn't judge even for a second. In their world of humans and mutants, judging someone for who they like is like judging your own kind. "You're boyfriend should keep taking you out. Don't let the people here scare you to staying inside. Be you and not them."
When he starts speaking about speaking with someone who also knows Japanese, Rayne gives him a slight grin. "I'm kind of an anime nerd so usually I watch subtitles or English dub, which isn't as good as the real thing, but for now its all I got."
Glancing at her own cart Rayne considers what else she might need. After consideration, she doesn't need anything else he does, which is unfortunate since she has enjoyed talking with him. She always shops alone, since unlike him, she has no boyfriend. Then again its also a choice. "Those are just past the isle we were just at unfortunately and I already got my stuff there. Maybe I'll see you around again?"

"So you are a floater in the bar?" What she means is that he floats between jobs at this bar. Whatever they need is whatever he becomes for the night. To the bar it should make him indispensable with a safe job. Rayne tilts her head slightly at his ox comment trying to sense if there is anything...extra about him. Can't today though, its been a very long day and to that, takes another sip of her beer.
"The less people be stupid the less you get to throw people out of the door." Takes another drink from her beer then laughs lightly at his next words. "I'll keep that in mind though." Rayne wasn't looking for a good time. Its not her thing, though he seems like a nice guy, probably a good friend. "Unfortunately, if you are looking for something stupid tonight," uses his own words from earlier, "you are going to have to check someone else out. Figured I'd tell you now so you can walk around." Being up front on this is who she is and if hes looking for that from her, shes going to tell him now so he doesn't get his hopes up.

In her shop Rayne is extremely professional. Honestly she has had to do chest pieces and groin and butt pieces before so people have to disrobe for that too, though usually underwear can be left on, depending on the tattoo and placement. So when Skye gives a hesitation and she hears the tone of her voices, Rayne waits until she hears clothes drop then turns to look at her.
"You don't need to worry about being partially nude in front of me. You are here for a tattoo. Your placement requires the spot to be bare completely and its easier if there are no restrictions or objects in the way. I will not hit on my clients nor with I ogle you or proposition you. You are safe here." Rayne says this quit yet professionally. She wanted to get her point across and yet make her feel better about this.
Standing, Rayne goes to the door and shuts it before returning to her chair. Pulling on her gloves, Rayne grabs the alcohol wipes and rolls over to Skye. "I'm going to clean your shoulders with an alcohol wipe. It will be a bit cold."

Rayne could have guessed that a lot of people spoke English over in Japan since they probably had a lot of visitors from here. With their traditions and nature and different culture, its like another world. From what shes been told anyways. Plus while she is there she wants to study some old texts or lore's on their mythical creatures. Its something she wants to try to shift into one day.
Shaking her head slightly, Rayne grabs some of the things she needs from this isle before answering. "No where in particular really. Just around. I don't like to plan and then keep on a schedule in case I find somewhere else I want to check out or stay longer in one place." When he offers to teach her a few phrases Rayne gives him a small smile. "Thanks, I haven't started my online course yet but I might take you up on that offer one day."
Rayne checks her basket then grabs her phone and looks through it to the list to check what she needs. "Ok I only need....1 or 2 more isles? What about you?" Looks at him when she asks. Wants to know what else he needs to see if she can help.

"Always wanted to go to Tokyo, though I need to learn the language a bit so I don't look or sound like a tourist." Shes had a thing for anime since she was little and still does to this day, though she works most of the time. Every once in a while she will just binge a new series she finds. The last one she watched was Sword Art Online.
So he knew someone who was moving and give him a good price on it since it needed work. He got lucky. Rayne had to pay for hers and it still needed work. She didn't know anyone here when she first moved so shes been doing this on her own.
"I lived there for almost 20 years before I moved here. I would go back, probably will one day. Depends on how things turn out here." She keeps track of the news over there and after she left, a few months later, the people gave up on the snow leopard sightings. Most say it was captured and relocated, some say it died, and some still claim it was a mutant who ran off.

"As a bouncer I'm sure you get to flex your muscle as you say, more then you would otherwise." Rayne does what she can to not flex her muscle. Her animal sides make her stronger and really, why would she fight? The higher her emotions the less control she has usually. Specially in a real fight or a life or death one.
"This is a bar, so someone else is bound to be stupid. Can't run from that." Even at a bar like this, the more laid back, always get one or two a night. Least that she has seen anyways. "I wont be one of them, promise." Finishes her beer and raises the empty glass to the bar tender for another then looks back at the bouncer who gives his name.
"Jericho, I'm Rayne. Nice to meet you." When her beer is slid over to her, gives the bar tender a nod in gratitude, pushes the lime in with her thumb then takes a sip. "I'll stick with your name. No worries on your last." Cowboy will be his nickname if they be come friends later on and if it continues, probably his last name if she gets pissed at him. Gotta have a line.

Rayne pushes her cart down the isle and towards the next one she just a few rows down. "Japan huh? What part if you don't mind me asking?" Being from Australia Rayne doesn't have that kind of traditions. Only the ones she made for herself.
When she mentions painting, Rayne glances at him and notices his scrunched up face. She has to agree with him. Paint is a strong smell and it isn't nice either. "The paint color has to match everything you buy, or you get to go out shopping again." She almost had to do that but then got paint first in the summer where she could open all the windows and everything. Made it easier to tolerate.
Rayne shakes her head when he asks if she has lived here long. "Not long. I came from Australia a few years ago." Rayne works hard on using her American accent and not her Australia one much. Some people can't understand it or just ask her to say certain words over and over so she usually forces her American one, though she does talk a bit slower with it.

Rayne greets some of the regulars here before sipping her beer after pushing the lime in of course. Probably should stay for just a few beers. Chill and relax. This atmosphere is perfect for it so long as theres no drunk coming up and propositioning her. Just because shes alone and wearing tight jeans and a modified t-shirt and according to the guy, hot, she doesn't always want to have some guy ask for a quickie in the back.
When the stool next to hers gets pulled out and someone sits, Rayne glances over at the person to see that's its the new bouncer. Nods back to him in reply curbing her Australian accent to sound more American, "Evening cowboy. And don't worry about it, I've seen worse." Takes another sip of her beer, about half gone already and turns to face him. "Taking a break on your shift?"

Rayne gathers all the colors she is going to need and puts them on a roller table on top of paper towels that's easily in reach and not too high in the air. Next she grabs a few more paper towels and places them behind the ink then grabs a few different tattoo guns and different needle styles and lays them neatly and in order.
Glances at Skye to see hows shes doing before fulling turning to her. "I know it might be uncomfortable, but for this tattoo your shirt will have to come off that one side completely and your bra strap has to also be off that side. I can close the door to the room if it helps." She can leave the bra on, but the shoulder strap has to come off at the least and the back side pulled down some. The shirt, she can just take her arm out of it and pull it over her head and leave it on the other side. Rayne doesn't want it getting in the way and messing up the tattoo or getting ink or blood on it. Ruining shirts is not what she does.
After telling her this, Rayne goes back to getting a pair of gloves and some wipes. Giving Skye some privacy to do as she asked is just the right thing to do. Some girls come in here and when they need to take off their clothes so she can get the tattoo done right where they want it, they get all shy. While others just don't care if they get fully naked. Guys just don't care in general since, according to her male coworkers and the clients shes had, shes hot. Why not show off.

Rayne had quite a busy day today at work along with a rather...rude client. What he wanted is what she gave him but it took 20 different trips to draw it with extremely little tweaks here and there and then when she gave him what was wanted, he goes and switches up something major that affected everything else. Then this client had the nerve to ask for a discount since it took so long. Honestly Rayne almost sent him out of the parlor but didn't and may or may not have upcharged him a bit for all the trouble.
For this, she wanted to drink and forget and start new tomorrow and this bar was the place to go when she wanted to relax a bit. The country feel to it and the patrons there usually were more chill than a club type bar or a sports bar. This time though, Rayne walked up to seeing a new bouncer throw a guy out. So maybe not so calm today.
She was already here and didn't feel like walking to a new place, plus this was close to home so she wouldn't need a cab or go back home to grab her bike. Rayne pushes the door open and makes sure it doesn't slam shut before going over to the bar section and grabbing a seat towards the corner of the bar so she isn't in the middle of everything. Raynes in her usual attire for work and just usual for her. Dark tight jeans with some rips, black combat boots, a maroon modified off the shoulder Kane Brown t-shirt with her black leather jacket unzipped and her white hair is extremely straight. Hats give creases to her hair and while she will wear them sometimes if the outfit or situation calls for her, not today.
When the bar tender gets the chance and comes over to her, Rayne gives him a slight smile in recognition. Shes been here quite a few times. "Hey, Corona please." When the bar tender slides it over to her, Rayne gives him a nod. "Thanks."

Seems like he just moved into his new place and wanted to change things up right away. Which is what Rayne did when she first moved here, after getting a job though. She didn't want to buy things she needed and then run out of money first before finding a job. "Renovating a place is always fun, though having someone to do it with and help you pick things out...that's even better. Two minds are better than one." Though she lives alone and is perfectly ok with it.
"If you end up painting, the towels will come in handy so you don't have to ruin the new ones you just got." Rayne shrugs, grabs what she needs since she was looking around while they were taking some then looks back at him when he switches the scents of the soap he originally grabbed.
When he offers up his name and then dips his head, Rayne gives a dip of hers since she understands it from her anime nerdiness. "Zaid, I'm Rayne. Nice to meet you and you are welcome."

Rayne nods. "Its always good to buy at different times and not all at once. That way you don't over buy or get what you don't need. Plus you get other opinions too and can see what you already got looks like around you." Rayne made the mistake of buying everything all at once when she first got here and things didn't really fit together and she did get multiple of things too. Its a waste when you have to drive back to return the items you already have.
"The extra towels you have, use them as rags perhaps?" Rayne offers this as a option for him. Muddy shoes or whatever you want, that way he doesn't use the new stuff on dirty floors or shoes or whatever. Even if they have a pet or whatever, wipe the paws off with the older towels.
Rayne shakes her head slightly. "You aren't in my way. I would let you know if you were. I can point you too the isle if you want, or if you give me a minute I can take you there since I am going there as well." Glances at him when she offers so she can see the reaction from him. Reactions give everything away for people, even if they try to hide something. The first moment usually gives something away before they can hide it if they choose.
