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.

Rayne could sense that this girl was nervous to be here at first with the bite of her lip before she handed the paper over. That's normal for a lot of people. Usually for not knowing what the artist thinks of the drawing, if they could do it, if the tattoo will look like the drawing...things like that. Lucky for this girl, Rayne has a few ideas she wants to toss to her and ask some questions.
Taking the paper from the girl Rayne places it on the counter so she can smooth it out if its been folded. While she is looking at it, glances at the girl with a small grin. "Don't you worry about it being your first time. It happens a lot here."
Ok now its time for her to ask some questions about the tattoo since she never did elaborate on it much. "Ok this is doable. For the rainbow, are you thinking straight color lines or a blending of colors or a water color type? The word Prism, did you want is just black outlined so the rainbow is more visible or did you want the word one color?"
She is going to start with those questions, since there is no reason to bombard her with questions. She does have a few more.

Most people didnt know how to spell her name since it's a different spelling than she has ever seen. Not once has she seen her way before.
Giving Shelby a soft smile Rayne nods. "I am quite used to people being afraid if needles so it's nothing new for me." After telling her this Rayne stands and offers her a hand while glancing around at all the chaos. It was very strange.
Looks back down at Shelby with a nod. "Yeah let's get you to a different store. This one is going to hell." Tilts her head slightly to the right hearing sirens. "And the cops are on their way. Let's not be here."
Looks back down at her, not wanting to be here when the cops come. Too much of a hassle really. Did pocket the syringe though in a bag to look at later.

"Hello Shelby, my name is Rayne." While she is talking and telling Shelby her name, draws the needle out quick and clean, probably didn't even feel it. To Rayne it didn't even look that big, just long enough to stick in and do its job. The job is unknown at the moment so Rayne sets the needle down by her on a open package so its not contaminated and rolls the pants up a but more so she can deal with the puncture mark.
"It doesn't look at bad Shelby, its small, very small." Uses some alcohol wipes and cleans it before placing the bandage on it smooth then places some tape on it for safe measure of it sticking there. "I'm not a doctor but I did what I could and I suggest going to the hospital if you want too or feel different. Okay?"
Seeing as how Shelby is shaking and looks about to pass out, she should probably drink something. "Think you can grab a drink or some chocolate?"

Walk in todays were on her because she didn't have a client for once. She is usually booked most of the days because of her high success rate and word of mouth. So far though, there hasn't been a walk in so Rayne was in her room working on a drawing she wanted to perfect for a client in a few days. There was just a piece of something she didn't like, something she couldn't get just right.
Hearing the bell to the front door though, Rayne knew that her drawing was going to have to wait. Whether it was a client for someone else she needed to greet or if it was a walk in needing something. Putting down her pencil and placing the paper in the folder for safe keeping, Rayne walks out and to the front desk.
Rayne doesn't have a mohawk, just straight white hair, tight ripped dark blue jeans with a red tank and a black leather jacket. "Welcome, how can I help you?" Rayne says nothing or gives second glances at the color changing hair and skin. She has seen a lot of things.

Rayne glances up from what she is getting ready at the girl when she talks to herself about being calm. Gives a slightly smile before chuckling lightly when she said she will kiss her, probably, maybe. Lets just leave that up to the girl, so long as she doesn't pass out on her. She must really hate needles.
"Why don't you tell me your name? Talking about something normal helps people stay calm." Her clients do it all the time and honestly she did take a psychology class or two to help with the clients that come in panicking about the needle.
Once she has everything set up around her and made sure no one was going to bother them, Rayne lightly grabs the girls stretch pants and rolls them up to the needle, though making sure she didn't jar it. "Ok I'm going to take it out, don't hit me." Only says this since she can sense and see that she hates needles.

Rayne could see the girl panicking when she looked at her. "No no don't take it out. Let me handle it ok?" She knows how to handle needles, since she works with them all day long. Plus there is no way she can be an officer in tight ripped skinny jeans and a black leather jacket with a band shirt under it. Unless she was under cover, but even then...Nope.
Takes the few steps over to her and crouches down, placing the medical supplies next to her. "I'll get you fixed up."
Grabs one of the bags and puts on some latex free gloves just in case she is allergic to it then opens another few bags with some tape and larger band aids. Yeah its just a needle, but yet, lets be safe than sorry. "Just don't attack me or run off until I'm done. Okay?"
Rayne is staying very calm for what is going on around her. The people running around and looting, the people wondering where others are and who others are...its all very strange.

Rayne needed food and food is what she was getting after her day of work. Usually she loved her work and couldn't wait to get there to do what she did best. Draw and create something special for her clients. Want the client wanted is what they got, so long as it was reasonable. She did however usually try and talk them out of something stupid or something that would work better. Today was...more difficult than usually. Really it was just a very difficult client who wanted something that wouldn't work out well and when she offered up a solution to it, they freaked out. Naturally, for her anyways, she did what they wanted after they knew what it would be like. Oh well, that's on them.
Food. Food is why Rayne was walking that night and not asleep in her bed or reading her latest book. No her fridge was empty, mostly anyways. Drinks she had, but good food she did not. Well she did at one point yesterday, but then she practiced and well...it was gone when she woke up hungry. The bigger the form the more it takes from her and the more she needs to eat. When she came up to the store though, all she saw was chaos.
"Holy sh..." Rayne didn't even finish the words before she jogged over to see what the heck was going on. This is not how she wanted to spend her night. Food, food is all she wanted but it looks like that would have to wait. Specially when she gets to the windows and sees people looting and panicking.
With a sigh Rayne steps into the store mindful of everyone running around, her senses on high without anything shifting on her. Walking down some rows, she comes across a girl with a needle in leg looking unsure of what to do. Luckily for her, she passed the medical isle a few rows down and backtracked to get some before heading over to the girl again. A few feet from her, Rayne slows down and lifts her hands slightly so she can see all she has is some medical equipment as she speaks loud enough to hear, but not forcefully. "Hey, you mind if I get closer?" Rayne knows that if she gets near this girl with a needle in her leg out of no where...she is liable to just attack or run off and that's not good at all.

When he states that they could almost be twins, Rayne has to glance at him a bit confused for a second before she notices what he is wearing as well and chuckles some. "Yeah guess so." It never really crossed her mind to check what he was wearing against herself until he said something. Lost in her own mind perhaps.
Rayne gets to her isle she needs and then continues on a few rows down and stops. "Art History is here." Doesn't want to pry but..."You looking for inspiration to draw or learn? Or just like the pictures?"

Rayne saw him when he came in, how could she not? He was green and bald so hes not easily missed, she was just preoccupied with the child in front of her and didn't know he was so close when she got up and turned around. Luckily she has fast reflexes so she didn't actually collide with him. That would have hurt.
When he states that the librarian needs to learn how to give directions, Rayne chuckles slightly and nods once. "I have to agree with you there. When I first came here she tried to tell me, but I just ended up wandering around. On purpose of course, after a while anyways." It's always good to know where everything is just in case she needs to find something else one day, for whatever reason. Or this reason.
"History is a few rows down from where I'm headed so I'll show you." She has the day off today and she does need a new book to read, having just finished with the other ones.

The guys in white who was flying is now lying in slime and everything else gross in the ally. Ew. Also, it seems hes no longer in white. Interesting. Looking between him and the other girl who has the, what she learned, is an adapted field, she guesses what the distance is for the field itself and takes a few more steps forwards to get a better look. What she sees what she does is an actual baby dragon...one that can talk.
Just being curious about it, Rayne doesn't actually speak, but she does watch and listen. She didn't need to add her own input to this, the other girl had this handled it seems, plus the guy who fell from the sky, if what she has heard is correct, he's an X-Men.
Rayne never understood why New York was always so dang busy, even at this time of night. Then again, the morning is absolutely a nightmare. The cars, the noise, it can all be a bit much for sensitive ears. Its why she made the shop she works at, at least her room there, soundproof as much as possibly. Better to concentrate. The good thing about the night though, the wait for food is not as long.
A black cooler in her hand which has her steak and ribs inside, Rayne makes her way back home though when she hears people panicking after a roar she stops and looks towards where the sound came from. Now to go and see what was going on or go home and relax...Her choice was taken from her when people start to run by her, saying something about a beast? Dragon? Flying lizard? This she has to see.
Slinging her cooler strap over her shoulder so it lies diagonal across her chest, Rayne heads in the direction that everyone was running from. She might have changed her mind at one point but on her way she sees something white flying through the air. She has seen this white object from afar before, but never this close and now she can see its a person. Getting closer, Rayne spots one more person and slows down her walk to a stroll, standing at a distance from them but close enough to see that the person in white just dropped out of the sky and lost all the white armor when he got close to the girl in the mouth of the ally.
That has to be something that blocks mutation? Maybe nullifies it all together. Whatever she does, Rayne stays back from this girl, not sure what her range actually is.

On her way towards the section she wanted to go, Rayne got stopped by a kid who she's seen here a few times before. Now shes not even remotely dressed in anything that hints at being a librarian...her dark jeans with a few rips, white tank top and a black leather jacket unzipped...yeah totally librarian material. After pointing to kid to the right direction Rayne turns and heads back towards her own, but by this point there is a guy behind her that she almost runs into.
"Oh sh...Sorry, I didn't see you there." Takes a step back very quickly so she didn't run into the guy as she takes in his green skin and antenna and not once missing a beat. Who is she to judge someone's look when she herself turns into an animal and her own body has adapted to her first shift. Then again that could be considered hair dye, shes just glad her eyes have never changed into an animals yet.

Something about the end of summer and Halloween brought out the people that wanted tattoos, all types really. Small, large, weird, dark, creepy, and just plain weird. Like who really wants a rainbow unicorn riding a black widow under water? It makes no sense at all but its what the client wants and its what they will get. Now that Halloween is over, work has slowed, just a bit so shes going to use her time to go to one of the places she loves to be. The library.
Walking up the steps and through the doors Rayne lets out a silent sigh as she shoulders relax. Can't be tense here, this place is calming. Well to her anyways. Some people might hate it which she would never understand really. Heading straight to the research and information books and then straight towards the animal books. She had already returned her other books over a week ago and was really feeling the withdrawal of reading. For her gift, not reading, not learning is hard on her. This time, she wanted to learn something...big. Bigger than anything she had tried before.

Honestly I love it when sites get a full site wide plot and all that. With a major bad guy who gets a group of followers to help terrorize everyone else. Either another mutant who wants to rule everyone, a human with tech to capture mutants or even mutants using tech, humans and mutants working together to force or brainwash other mutants to help with some plan, kidnapping other mutants and forcing them to fight each other, someone gathering mutants and selling them to the highest bidder for whatever the buyers reasons are, a disease that affects the mutants first then humans which could lead the humans to blaming the mutants which could lead to something said before. Things like that make a plot go long if its planned out right.
Maybe starting off with 2 characters instead of one? I know personally that having only one is hard because not every character clicks with others so having options makes it easier to have threads.

Rayne is glad that he didn't push any further to help walk her home. Honestly she didn't like the thought of someone she didn't know, even someone that did help her out of a jam like tonight, knowing where she lived. Rayne nods when he tells her to be safe and have a good night. "Thank you for tonight. I'm sure I'll see you around." With that, just like him, she turns around and walks off back home. Where she can put on her own clothes.
