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.

Hey all. Just wanted to toss out a quick note that I'm going to be AWOL for the next little bit. One of my pets is currently very ill and I really don't know which direction things are going to go. Either way, I'm not going to have the muse or will to really be around. I will be back whenever I can. Take care all.
This affects: Jorge Cervantes, Agnes Nicholas, Booker B. Bookman, Roxie Rose, and Kristoph Karlson.

Roxie could use a roommate just to shake things up. But it depends on if a part-time bartender / part-time bouncer could make the money to pay half the rent for a condo...

Welcome back! Awesome character you have here! I love the concept! I hope that you'll have fun with her. I don't know if you remember but this is Jorge. We met briefly when you previously made a comeback with Twyla. Glad to see you around again. ^_^
With senses honed throughout the years, it shouldn’t have happened. But today, he mistepped. He was pounced.
Jorge winced, turned his head from the vile tongue. The owner of the rampant pup ran up, swelling with apologies. “I’m sorry! Down boy!” A cheery pause. “That’s Madness.” The collar reflected such.

Hi boys and ghouls! Tis I, Lorekeeper, your neighborhood plot-mod (also known as Jorge >.>). As promised, here is the list of current NPC Weapon S soldiers that paired members who signed up have so graciously created and sent in. If interested, make sure you check out the SIGN UP page as this will be an ongoing plot and people are free to sign up (or re-sign up) whenever.
But, before we get to the good stuff, let’s put down some ground rules:
RULES: 1.) Do not kill, maim, or kidnap and hold hostage in a kinky dungeon (eyes a certain individual) ANY of the NPC Weapon S soldiers without their original creators’ permission. These are their creations so please respect that. 2.) Weapon S soldiers are NPCs, NOT approved characters. Please do not run entire threads with only the NPC. 3.) Connection to S.U.P.E.R. will not be immediately given. These soldiers are well trained and dedicated to the mission. So please keep their origins a mystery for the time being. 4.) Have fun! This is supposed to be a fun, mayhem filled time! So let’s make it a good one!

FROM:Dr. Jezebel Weber SENT: March 13, 2018 TO:Director Finer SUBJECT: RE: Weapon S Program
Director,
Thank you for your continued faith in my vision. With the resources that you and your organization has been able to provide, I dare say, the progress is running far more smoothly now. Sample purification, strand merging, and advanced gestation have all been perfected. Soldiers, for lack of a better term, are rolling off the assembly line.
Sincerely, Dr. Weber

Director,
Of course, sir. I have handpicked a select team for your purposes. Below are their dossiers. If you have any further requirements, do not hesitate to inquire.
Sincerely, Dr. Weber
ATTACHMENT: [Weapon_S_Dossiers.xdoc] PREVIEW:
Designation: Menagerie Alias: Robin Wolfe Age: 16 Parentage: @zoeolsen & Ashton Drake Powers: Can Psychically swap her mind with animals. After 15 swaps with the same animal, she develops a two way mental connection that allows shared emotions and control. Personality Traits: Nervous around unfamiliar people, more comfortable with animals, hyperactive and quick to actions Appearance: Short, dirty blonde hair, brown eyes. She is thin, lanky, and 5’8” tall.
----
Designation: Iota-121 Alias: Dominic Age: 15 Parentage:Rebecca Grey-Morris and Skye Sinclaire Powers: Emotionally-Generated Magnetic Auroras (and Accompanying Mood Hair) Personality Traits: GenerallyApathetic, Dry Wit, Prone to Outbursts When Provoked Appearance: Short and thin, with straight hair usually black due to his neutral moods, but prone to changing during outbursts. He has heterochromia, one eye brown and one hazel, and his cheeks are adorned with freckles. ---
Designation: Epsilon-4 Alias: Cayden Huxley Actin Age: 20 Parentage:Emma Holmes & Ranger Powers: Mutant Sense, Reactive Enhancement only when near mutants, Reactive Support when near Mutants, Mutation Transfer of Reactive Support. Personality Traits: Independent, a charming gentleman, and not quick to act. Appearance: 5’11” of toned muscle. Light brown hair, fair skin, and green eyes. Adopts a cowboy style of button up long sleeves, wranglers, and cowboy boots for everyday wear. Also a fan of tactical or 5.11 style clothing for missions.
(Due to Epsilon-4's unique combination, I am highlighting his abilities for more in-depth explanation:
Mutant Sense: When he is within 5-feet of someone who is a mutant,him hand begins to tingle (depending on which side of him the mutant is closer to). As he gets closer to a mutant, a magnetic-like pull increases in strength to help him discern where they are.
Strengths: Can tell if a nearby person is a mutant.
Weaknesses: Does not reveal the mutation of mutants within range.
Mutant Sense Activated Reactive Enhancement: Triggered by the activation of Mutant Sense, Epsilon-4’s muscles are able to be enhanced to boost running, lifting power, or the heart. This enhancement is reactive to the threat, it is dictated by the need not by what Epsilon-4 wants. The enhancement is relative to natural ability. The naturally stronger his muscles the more he can lift, the faster he is the faster he can become, and so on.
Strengths: Enhances one muscle driven physical attribute such as strength or speed. Once active it can remain on for up to 4 hours.
Weaknesses: Only one physical attribute can be enhanced at any one time and while it is enhanced other attributes are weakened. So when he is running faster he cannot carry as much weight or move as fast as normal while burdened by increased muscle mass for strength. Can only activate while Mutant Sense is active. This limits Epsilon-4’s ability to go rogue and attack humans.
Mutant Sense Activated Reactive Defense: While Mutant Sense and Reactive Enhancement are running, Epsilon-4’s body can increase one of a number of defensive abilities. This power provides Epsilon-4 with the ability for his bones and joints to increase their durability allowing them to resist the force generated by manipulating objects with his power’s maximum strength. His skin can react to increase his resistance to cuts, punctures, electric shock, or extreme temperatures. Only one of these can operate at a time. Reactive defense also takes time before it can change from one defense to another. Once it reacts to something assaulting the Epsilon-4 it must be engaged for at least twenty seconds before it can switch.
Structural Strength: When his power is empowering the strength of his bones and joints, they are able to handle the crushing force of his weight plus his maximum ability to lift.
Slash resistance: By aligning and increasing the number of collagen fibers in his skin, the Epsilon-4’s skin becomes incredibly hard to cut through. It has the equivalent of a 4.5 on the Mohs scale. This is on the harder side of steel.
Puncture resistance: By increasing the number of randomly aligned collagen fibers and thickening the skin, the Epsilon-4’s skin takes on the equivalent of level III body armor. Anything above what level III is rated for will likely be delaminated, which means that the jacket and core will likely separate and reduce the effectiveness of the round, as it passes the skin if not ball ammo or armor piercing.
Electrical resistance: The human body under optimal conditions has a resistance of around 100,000 Ohms. When his power is active the Epsilon-4’s body has a resistance of 12,500,000 Ohms. This is enough that if he grabbed a prong from a taser in each hand it would not conduct through him.
Thermal resistance: In instances of extreme hot or cold, the Epsilon-4’s skin is able to reduce its thermal conductivity. This means he loses less heat in the cold and takes in less heat when it is extremely hot. This allows him to walk through fire and travel through subzero temperatures for short durations. The resistance wears down over time and the duration of its effect is reduced by the extremity of the temperatures. At most he can have six minutes, three uses of the power, standing in an open fire or exposed to temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit.
Strengths: Any of the aspects of the defensive power can be provided in conjunction with one of his other power’s aspects. This aspect of the Epsilon-4’s power can respond the moment he has need, the moment he begins to take damage (as long as his other powers are running). This power does not reduce the effectiveness of Reactive Enhancement while it is active.
Weaknesses: Can only be used if Mutant Sense and Reactive Enhancement are running. Only one aspect of the defensive power can be active at any time. Whichever harm affects the Epsilon-4 first is the one his power will react to. Once it has reacted it must remain in that state for a minimum of 20 seconds before it can switch to another aspect. It’s a tremendous energy sink to transition into any one aspect and from one to another. If nothing causes the power to switch from one aspect to another it will end after two minutes following the last attack it defended against. Three changes is enough to leave the Epsilon-4 winded by itself. Following this he must take a rest of at least an hour before the power can activate again. That or a single use and two Mutation Transfers.
Reactive Defense Mutation Transfer: While Reactive Enhancement is active, Epsilon-4 is able to temporarily bestow one aspect of Reactive Defense to someone else. The aspect transferred is what the power determines they need most in their situation and while it is being used by another person he cannot use it, himself. He can bestow up to two aspects of Reactive defense, but they must be to different people. A dark handprint appears on the target. If the handprint is washed off the they lose the power. If thermal resistance is bestowed it can be used three times, with no shorter than twenty seconds between when one use starts and another starts after it.
Strengths: Able to provide up to two allies with defenses to attacks or other dangers. Ten foot range for bestowing.
Weaknesses: He cannot control which aspects he bestows. When an aspect has been bestowed his Reactive Defense cannot use it to protect him. Can only be used on two allies. Can only be used if Reactive Enhancement is active. Can only last as long as Reactive Enhancement is active, if it so too does the bestowed power turn off. If the handprint is washed off, the power goes away.)

Well currently i am looking for threads with Agnes and i remember these two have crossed paths before so that could be interesting. Currently Agnes resides in the city at Juilliard so she could wander into Amber. Or if you need a break-in partner, Penelope/Jezebel could be pursuaded. Penelope is very trusting and Jezebel just likes to break things. Also Penelope does reside at the mansion, but she wanders the Sanctuary as well. I'm good with either if you are.
