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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.

Hello MRO'ers
A week has passed. All of the applications are in. Let the second round of the new Mod selection begin!
For each of the following candidates, please give us your opinion on how well you think they'd do as a Moderator. Please note that this is not a vote; the actual selection will be made in the third round, by the current Mod Team. We want to know your opinions--both good and bad--before we make those selections.
Your responses will only be viewed by the current Mod Team. We'll be deleting them before the new Mods get a chance to see them, so please speak freely, for good or ill.
Candidates: please also reply to this PM. It's likely that more than one new Mod will be selected, so we'd like to hear your opinion on your fellow candidates. Feel free to leave your own spot blank.
New Members: If you haven't had a chance to get to know one of the candidates yet, then go ahead and say that. We greatly value your opinion on the candidates you have met, however--since one of the main Mod duties is working with new members like yourself, you're in a unique position to tell us how you, as one of those new members, feels about these players.
Replies can be as long or as short as you wish. This is voluntary; if you don't want to share your own opinions with us, you don't have to. We'll be accepting replies for the next seven days. Try not to be late--after seven days, the Mod Team will start its own discussion, and late opinions aren't likely to have the same impact that the more timely replies have.
To reply, please copy the following code into a new message, and write your comments after each candidate's name. Be happy this isn't a vote--we've got more good candidates than we have new Mod slots. The final decision is going to be hard. Please help us!
Thank you,
The (current) Mod Team: (Historian, Blue Badger, Mr. Yuck, Sarasvati, The Redcrosse Knight, Daydreamer, Sophrosyne, and Mr. O)

What do you think of the following players? How well do you think they'd do as an MRO Moderator?

Sent July 18th, 2012.
Attention MROers! This is the PM you’ve all been waiting for! MRO has some new mods to introduce.
Before we get around to announcing them, we’ve got some sad, but happy news to announce. Due to the real life rigors of motherhood and the amount of time it requires, our very own ham fairy, Sennyo, is retiring from modship. This is sad, but it is also so happy, and I know the site at large will join the mod-team in congratulating her on her growing family. Don’t worry, though! You’ll still see Ghost around the boards, hopefully posting in her free time or just popping in to say hello.
Now, on to our mod appointments.
The first should come as no surprise: Abyss, the player of the Abyssi, Koga, and Zelek is and has been an active member and plotter for many years on MRO. He is helpful, friendly, and hilarious in the cbox, and someone that all site members know they can go to for a snug, smile, or cbox perch. In the past, Abyss was even a mod who had to step down due to Real Life issues. We are thrilled to welcome him back into the fold.
Abyss will once again be taking the mod name of Mr. O, and I know that eventually, everyone will figure out what's funny about that name! It took me ages when I joined, and now I giggle every time.
The second new mod has been with us less time, but has already made his mark. Graves has been instrumental in the development and implementation of the Age of Sebastion plot. Over the last several months as the player of Graves and Rebecca, he has also proven himself an active and conscientious site member who is willing to both plot and do the work to make sure those plots come to fruition.
Graves will be taking the mod name Daydreamer, but I know he won't have his head in the clouds as long as there's work that needs done around the site.
Our final addition to the Mod Team will be MRO’s very own Gina, player of Gina and Chase! Almost ever-present in the cbox, Gina has constantly proven herself a friendly and helpful individual who always acts in the best interest of everyone in a situation. Whether it’s her drawings, her knowledge of other MRO’ers and their lives (on and off site) or simply her sunny disposition, Gina is always around to put a smile on the face of anyone in her presence. Gina’s mod name will be Saphrosyne. Taken from the goddess of of moderation, self-control, temperance, restraint, and discretion, this name describes the very traits that are going to make Gina an excellent moderator.
Please give your warmest congratulations and support to Mr. O, Daydreamer, and Sophrosyne.
In other news, the Age of Sebastion plot is in full swing. There are several post-apocalyptic gangs to ally yourself with, if they strike your fancy, and I’m sure they’d be glad to have any late-comers. If you would like more information please see the Age of Sebastion plot post or ask around in the cbox.
If you have any general site questions, please contact a site moderator. Also, make sure to back up your threads and anything else you might care about on-site. Pro-boards likes to catch on fire sometimes. No really…on fire.
Again, a huge welcome to our new moderators, and good luck to Ghosty and her family.
