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.

This announcement is a heads up of things to come in the very near future. We have been working behind the scenes on a redesign to the layout of the site, (which was definitely not spurned into action as an effort to undo all the damage Photobucket hath wrought.) This is an ongoing project we have been working on, but now that it's almost ready, we want you to let you know what's coming and what to expect.
Contrary to popular opinion, we're not just doing this for kicks and giggles. Rather than rehosting 260 images in order to save the numerous site skins, we decided that it would make more sense to update the site with a brand new skin and design.
We all love this site as our home, and we're hoping to make improvements across the board. (Profile updates, putting the cbox somewhere useful, adding a gazebo, knocking out the wall in Jorge's room.) At this point, with the site kinda... broken, we are hoping to move quickly with this, so expect a full rollout as soon as possible.
As always, thank you for your patience, and thank you for being the driving force behind what makes the site so great through every change and itteration.
Here is a list of the faces currently being used on the site for anyone who wants to use a face and wants to know what's free, or is just curious about who the face is behind one of your favorite characters.
NOTE: Face claims are not mandatory, but if a face is on this list, it is considered "claimed".
If you want me to add something, please post it here, in this format (remove any *s):

MRO's Gossip Girl
I doubt this'll come as much of a surprise given my absence lately, but I think I'm putting myself on hiatus as a mod and a member for the foreseeable future.
A lot of it is work, but I just find I don't have the will left for MRO these days. I get home and almost every night I can't find the motivation to log on.
I love the members of this site, especially my friends in modship, but it is clearly unfair to the site for me to be here as a hollow mod. I've already been absent, but I felt it responsible to make it official.
I'm sorry. I hope to keep in touch and one day you might see my characters grace these halls again.

Roar.
After a fun and unproductive week of waiting for a laptop charger, I left my friend's house in a bad mood and forgot the fracking charger, so no posting for me again until at least tomorrow night.
Seriously, this night is one crappy moment after another. Talk to you all soon.

Get better Em!
Enjoying my days off, doing some "end of the world" drinking. Sorry for lack of posting. More activity returns when I work tomorrow for the 4-midnight shift.
