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.

Tasean stepped out of his office, wearing casual clothes. He liked to dress casual when interviewing younger kids. Suits and uniforms only made them nervous, and Tasean would need Chase to be relaxed as possible. He smiled at the receptionist, a recent volunteer who would not get it through her skull that Tasean did not like women, and then turned towards Gemma and Chase.
"Well hello there Chase" he said, and then nodded towards Chase's adoptive mother.
Tasean gave the young boy a quick once over. He looked well kept and well fed, no visible bruises, and he wasn't shaking with nerves. That was all a good sign, but the interview would be the ultimate determining factor. One never knew what some people did to children behind closed doors, no matter how good of people they seemed to be.
"My name is Tasean Walker, but you can call me Tasean. Would like to come into my office so we can chat about somethings?" the young social worker asked, flashing a genuine grin, his eyes sparkling, as usual, with mirth.

Tasean was mumbling to himself as he rounded a corner in the alleyway. This was the worse part of being a social worker, hunting your clients down. The one he was looking for was a young man who had an affinity with thorns. More specifically if the boy stayed in one place too long, thorny vines would grow and writhe around him like over eager snakes. Needless to say the ability freaked out most people. Tasean has been trying to find the young man a home, and someone to help him learn to control his powers, up until he had disappeared a few days ago. Now Tasean was scoping out some of his old haunts to see if he could find the young vine growing mutant before anything dire happened.
Tasean shrugged himself more into his salt and pepper pea coat, it was very chilly outside. He rounded another corner, still mumbling to himself about all the things he would do to the kid once he found him when he stopped abruptly. In front of him stood a man, with a whole lot of shredded stuffed animals and stuffing at his feet and a tip over box of even more stuffed animals.

Hey guys.
So Tasean needs more threads, and he's willing to take anything!
I especially want him to meet people outside of those he has already met. Tasean LOVES meeting new people especially men who like meeting Tasean ^_~
Also I would really like to get him in a few threads with some more people from the Mansion, and/or X-men, as I do have aspirations for Tasean joining the X-men in the future, and would like to get a start on that process soon.

Tasean pulled a couple of the files towards him, and intensely began scanning the pages. Every once and a while he would quickly jot something down on a note pad, a date here or common factors there, things he wanted to discuss with Jorge later.
Go over the files, the young social worker began to lose his sense of time. His tunnel vision focus was on these cases and the people that they represented. When Tasean first began working as a social worker, back in North Carolina, his supervisor told him the thing that made him a great social worker was that he looked at paper work and saw it as a representation of a person who needed his help. Cases were never just cases for him, each one was personal, and he wasn't trying to reach a quote of casework, but help every person to the best of his ability. His supervisor told him that would work to his favor, and also to his detriment, because eventually he would burn himself out.
Tasean wasn't thinking about any eventual burnout right now, he was focused on finding these missing people, and make sure who was ever responsible for their disappearances was held accountable.

Tasean gave a genuine grin when he saw Lumen, and pulled her into a light embrace, appropriate for greeting guests and acquaintances.
"I'm glad that you could make it" he told her, as he placed his now empty wine glass on the buffet table.
He gave a sweeping motion, indicating the entire agency. "It isn't much yet, but it's mine, and I do good with it. Hopefully after tonight, I will be able to do even more" the light-riding social worker said, hope coloring his tone.
As he looked around another quick time, he noticed the half-snake man in the corner, and his eyes widened briefly in surprise. He had seen a number of mutants with outward mutations, but none like this. A guy with a beak was the most outlandish he had ever encountered. He also noticed that the man was in a corner by himself, and that simply would not do. He may look incredibly different, but still he was a guest, and to a southern, guest were sacred.
Tasean turned back to Lumen, but kept the snake man in his peripheral, so that he could go and engage him after he made sure Lumen was comfortable.
"Anything I can get for ya hun?" Tasean asked his fellow light wielding mutant friend.

Tasean walked around the office, a glass of Beviamo Moscato D'asti in his hand. He admitted to himself that everything had turned out nicely, especially with such a small budget. Still, the silver, white and pale gold decorations did add a certain ambiance to the room. The plastic plates, while cheap, did at least look like real glass, and had very nice floral designs on them. And if the wine came from Sam's Club, because it happened to be on sale, who cared. It was at least chilled and sweat, and the wine glasses were quite real, and rather expensive. Somethings you just couldn't skimp on, and serving wine in red plastic cups was a definite no-no.
Continuing his rounds, he nodded at one of the party guest, who was also one of his clients. A young mutant girl who could make anything stick to anything else, as if they were magnets. And whose parents had left her on the streets after she had accidentally stuck her younger brothers together one too many times. He smiled at her, and then peered into he cup, just to make sure it was the sherber-punch-ginger ale concoction he had made for his underage and non-drinker guest and not wine. Satisfied that her beverage was age appropriate, her moved on, heading towards the entrance of the agency as more guest arrived.
The young mutant social worker was expecting a rather nice turn out. He had sent invitations to both the Sanctuary and the Mansion, inviting all of the residence there to attend this little social. He has also sent invites to the Mutant Related Crimes division of the NYPD, since he knew Jorge, and posted a bunch of fliers all over the net, including Twitter and Facebook. The more people that came, the better for Tasean. He needed more clients, to prove that this agency served a real purpose, and he needed donations, to continue servicing the few clients he did have. Tasean sincerely hoped that this social would drum up some interest, business and money so he could continue doing what he loved doing.
Before he reached the door, he stopped at the buffet and tapped a young man who had one too many seafood salad in lettuce leaf cups on his plate, and give him a warning eye, before continuing on to the door, to greet the new arrivals.

Tasean nodded again. "Yes, got your number saved in phone system, and your business card stored on the computer" he said.
He continued eating at the food on his plate, though his mind was elsewhere. Though he had already made up his mind to scope out the Church of Humanities, he still needed to think this through. No need in adding more risk onto an already precarious situation. Of course he couldn't ask Jorge for more information, the man was a detective, and would probably know what Tasean was up to, and find some way to stop him.
"So shall we get down to business, and dig through this lovely box of files your brought?" Tasean asked, genuinely interested in what the files had to say, and also trying to get off the subject of Sebastian and the Church.

Tasean nodded sagely as Jorge told him no. This is the answer Tasean had expected in the first place. Jorge wouldn't be a detective if he didn't worry about the safety of civilians. Unfortunately for all parties involved, Tasean was southern and a Capricorn. His southerner blood gave him a somewhat fiery temperament, and made him believe most Yankees were incompetent. Being born a Capricorn made him incredibly stubborn and a do it yourselfer, at least that's what he blamed it on. Combined this meant that Tasean rarely took no for an answer, or acknowledged danger.
"I completely understand" Tasean replied. **I'll be going out there as soon as you leave here** he thought to himself. "I want you to know that anytime you need my help though, I am definitely available" he said. **And when you don't need it, I'll give it anyway. **
Tasean picked his plate of food up and began to gnaw on some broccoli. The food had gotten a little cold, but that was alright, it still tasted good.

Tasean listened as Jorge explained more about the details of the case, and a little about this Sebastian person. Tasean had heard a little about the Church of Humanities, but he had never visited the building. Interesting that there was suddenly some activity around the building. The most interesting fact however was that all of these missing mutant cases spiked when Sebastian's son disappeared. Tasean was quite sure that if anyone ever found out what happened to the son and you would probably find out what happened to everyone else.
"Maybe I could scope around the Church?" Tasean asked. "See what I can find out? I'm pretty sure no one around there would recognize me, unless one of my clients is there as well, which I doubt" he said.
Maybe if he could get close enough, he could find something, or see something that the regular eye couldn't. Tasean was sure Jorge had the best people working on this, with the best equipment, but Tasean's ability was something different altogether. Tasean's mind wasn't hindered by walls, as long as there was light and a window. And instead of looking from a distance, his images came crystal clear, as if he was right there. Maybe there was something he could see, that perhaps someone else missed.

Tasean listened intently, filing away informational mentally. He especially took notice of the name Sebastian. It wasn't one that he had heard of, or had come across in any of his research, but it was something he would definitely look further into.
"Well on my end, I really haven't heard too much. Since I've heard about the cases, I have warned what few clients and walk-ins we get here at the agency to be careful" Tasean informed Jorge.
He leaned back in his chair, placing his plate of food back on the office desk, staring at the file box. This case was peculiar in deed, and turning out to be much deeper than Tasean had initially realized. He didn't know exactly how he could help, but that he would definitely help in any and every way possible.
"Anyone know where this Sebastian hangs out or frequents?" Tasean asked.
He was no cop or vigilante, but with his mutant ability, he could scope out things without having to but himself in harms way. And his way of seeing was much better than looking through binoculars. Maybe if he could find some places were this Sebastian character had been spotted, he could try and find something, or something.

Hey guys. So Tasean is gonna be having a little social gathering over at the Mutant Social Services Agency [which I think I'm gonna be reducing the name down to Mutant Services] and wants everyone to come up. It's just a little something to drum up some interest, and some much needed donations. Since Tasean has been to both the Mansion and Sanctuary, open invitations will have been sent to both facilities. Also the event will be advertised on the internet, so basically anyone is welcome to attend. Especially interested in getting people from the Mansion to come, as I have hopes of getting Tasean into the ranks of the X-Men in the future.
Once I get a little interest, I'll start the thread.
