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.

This sounds like a fun and interesting mini-plot, Fade.
I think this is one of those little plots that would work better with a small group of people, rather than a site-wide plot. It would work a bit like Emerald's recent 'face your fears' plot. You could start a sign-up thread, gather up a few posters, then start.
When you do, you might want to consider changing up the terminology a bit. We used to have an Astral Plane boards, but it never got used. We dusted it under the carpet. Right now, our only astral projector is Tarin, who projects to the real world. If you wanted to do an alternate reality, you could have a mutant whose powers worked to create a tiny self-contained world (a bit like Deimon Joan's power). It'd be an alternate world within a mutant's head, or that they could travel to. A self-contained, mutant-generated world, backed in their power, rather than 'Astral Plane' mysticism. I think that'd work with your plot.
Other than that, I think this idea sounds great. Feel free to gather up some interested people and get it running! Have fun!
