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.

Not much is known about Whitmore, only that he is looking for the very powerful red stone which will control the green stone he has implanted in various mutants. He works for MEPA, which is a secret government project unknown to the outside world. He continues to harass mutants in order to get information on where the red stone is and has recently begun kidnapping mutants again, based on their mutation for his own purposes.

Code name: Tricity
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Nationality/Ethnicity: Italian, Irish, and African American
Birth Place: Manhatten, NY
APPEARANCE Hair color and style: Long, wavy, dark brown hair that falls half way down her back. Usually hanging down, in a messy bun on top of her head, or half up and half down.
Eyes: A Hazel-green most of the time, even when using her powers on small electrical things. When she uses a large surge of power, her eyes will start to change between greens and purples. When using a massive amount of energy, her eyes will turn black and if lightning is involved, they will glow white.
Height: 5'8"
Build: Toned, slender, but with a good shape.
Scars: A small scar from a stab wound on her hip after someone tried to mug her. It was the first time she found out about her powers. (see history)
Tattoos: On the small of her back, she has a faery with electricity emitting around her body.
Piercings: Two holes in the lobes at a 10G with third on top of left of her ear. Belly button pierced.
CLOTHING Civilian: Tight, hiphugger jeans with a flare at the bottom, and high heeled, black leather boots. Fitted tees and corsets. Loves black and will most likely have black incorporated in her outfits everyday. Very fashionable, but has her own style. Depending on her mood, she can be punk, chic, or just lounging in some sweats.
Uniform: Corsets with high-heeled boots that lace up to her knees, black leather pants and a fitted, black leather jacket that falls down to her ankles.
Pajamas: T-shirt or tank top and boxers or boyshorts.
PICZEES
CHARACTER Personality: Tricity is very sarcastic and has a great sense of humor. Tends to be the 'motherly' figure and puts others before herself, constantly. She hates ignorance and will almost always voice her opinion on anything.
Hobbies/Interests: Video games, martial arts, reading, movies, helping students and residents, activist for mutant rights, decorating, fashion, and horseback riding.
Job: Tricity is the Headmistress of the Sister School, Captain of the X-Men, and an art teacher. She's always trying to help others with their mutations and their struggles to finding their 'comfort' zone in a world where most fear mutants.
Fears: Above all, Tricity is afraid the world will come to a place where the mansion is no longer allowed to exist; mutants will be treated like animals; and the world will fall into some type of genocide against her kind.
Special Talent: Tricity is a great dancer. She's been dancing since childhood in all forms of classic schooling. Whenever you see her in the halls, she's most likely singing and dancing to wherever she needs to be.
MORALITY Tricity will always fight for GOOD.
FACTION ALLEGIANCE Captain of The X-Men.
MUTATION Powers: Tricity can control electricity from any type of source (lights, cars, machinary...). There's always some form of a current running inside her due to the constant necessity of electrical things around us. With enough electric power, she can move objects and herself. Her power comes out from hands in a blue electric ball. She can also manipulate the energy with just a thought. With enough of a surge, her body will emit a blue aura. She recently learned how to create and control a small amount of lightning, sending bolts down at a target, but this power is RARELY used and has SERIOUS consequences. Tricity also can pick up electrical signals from radios, scanners, and the like in a surrounding area.
Cons: Water is hazardous when she is using her powers (example: tidal waves make her sad panda face). She has a hard time holding large amounts of electricity in her body for a long time and will start to lose control of it. Her body acts like a conduit with electricity she might not want flowing inside her during heightened emotional periods. When she is upset, electrical things will randomly turn on and off (she's caused power outtages in the mansion quite a few times). Under heightened stress, her mutation has allowed her access to the creation of lightning, but she has VERY little control. She's injured her teammates as well as put herself in a coma because of it.
FIGHTING STYLE Form: Karate and wu-shu. She learned these arts when she was a young girl and continues to train. She's no master black belt, but she's also no pushover.
Weapon: Uses a metal bo when available, but her wu-shu has taught her use with a blade. She's able to pass an electric charge through the metal of the weapons to make an advantage in fighting.
She RARELY fights hand to hand or uses a weapon because she relies on her mutation mostly. It usually doesn't need to go any further than that.
HISTORY Delilah grew up in Manhatten, NY with her mother, father, and older brother. One day she was walking somewhere, (she couldn't remember for a while because she blocked it out), and was mugged on the street. The attacker threw her against a light post and stabbed her in the hip during the struggle. Delilah's emotional state became so heightened, the power from the lamp surged through her body, into the knife the thief was holding, and into his own body. He shot backwards and into a dumpster unconscious. Delilah was in so much pain, she laid in the street for a half an hour before someone came to see if she was okay. When the person bent down to help her, he was physically shocked and ran away in fright when he saw that Delilah's eyes were completely black. She ran home to tell her parents and they didn't except her mutant abilities. She came to the school at around 17 and took up the rest of the classes she needed to graduate high school. Delilah is now a teacher of art, captain of the X-Men, and Headmistress to Xavier's Sister School to help other, younger mutants get control of their lives.
HISTORY AT THE SCHOOL Tricity picked up her strengths for her powers from Professor Xavier who had been teaching her control. Tricity can turn appliances on easily now and is becoming much stronger in the amount of electricity she can hold in her body. The electricity stores in her body and she is able to conjure it up after several hours, depending on the amount of power. Xavier spent weeks carefully going into her mind and found that when she uses her powers, her brain short circuits and it's the reason she becomes so dizzy sometimes. He couldn't explain the radio signals, scanners, and other communication devices that she was hearing in her head, but he realized that it was because her powers were growing. Her nickname or mutant name, Tricity, was given to her be Xavier, clearly because of her powers. Many of the children call her Ms. Tipper, while the adults call her Delilah, Tricity, and Tric. Xavier offered the teaching job in many different areas of art which she decided to take up. She loves the children at the school and would die for them without hesitation... She just had a baby boy named Sevion whose father is Orion, who Tricity has an estranged relationship with.
The name was familiar to Kilala and most of the other jounins in many of the villages. She wondered why Kioshi was trying to track him now. He wasn't an easy target to find. "Why do you think he is here in Konoha? Hiding? Not very smart... There are many who would know his face. Is he in the outskirts of the village, perhaps?"
(OOC: lol Hope that didn't screw up your intentions Sent. Figured if he was most commonly known as something, he must be fairly famous. Went into my own tangent. Let me know if I should change it.)
Kilala folded her arms across her chest and gave a slight smile to Yuudai. 'Always trying to take the big jobs...' she thought and could see the Hokage thinking the same thing. It was good to be so eager, but also dangerous. "We'd be happy to help you," she said, nodding to Kioshi.
Kilala and now about a dozen other jounins came up the stairs of the Hokage's building. They rounded the corner and Kilala quickly fly kicked the door open, snapping it off its hinges. "Hokage-sama!!" She saw Yuudai had already gotten inside and was using his family's jutsu. "Yuudai, stay back..." From the look of things, the Hokage wasn't at all phased at the man's presence and Kilala relaxed her stance a bit, lowering her kunai. She bowed her head a bit.
"My Lord, I apologize for the instrusion. We were unsure of the man's intentions and he suddenly used a jutsu to get away from us. We assumed he was here for unwelcome reasons and hurried here." Kilala paused a moment and looked away from the man, to the Hokage. "But it seems we have made a mistake?"
Kilala could see Yuudai looking at someone behind her, but she didn't want to turn around and make it so obvious she was looking. Instead, the young man moved to a new subject. "To the hokage? You are in a real hurry to make me teacher? Any reason, might I ask??"
I like a lot of the ideas you guys have come up with. We'll need to start making decisions now and keep certain things in mind.
I like the small group ideas. Those mutants who have special 'talents' excluding their mutations because of the collars, should raise their hands so we can start slotting you. Example: My character could be used as a liason between higher-ups because of her status outside the camp. Things of that sort.
I think the idea of a couple people acting as a communication link between all the campers is good as well.
This distraction will need to be 'low budget' in the sense that we can only use what's available to us as you guys were discussing.
Let's focus on these details now so we can decide what we will RP and what we won't. First, we'll need to decide for sure who will be doing what.
Name: Tricity Affiliation: X-Men much? Registration: Register on own will with other small children in the mansion so they aren't attacked. Time period being 'they left before the raid on the mansion to collect others'. Perhaps she shall help in the resistance still... She's only registered to bring the younger ones away from danger.
