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.

"I think so, but I just take 'em as needed. Usually I don't use my power this much in a day. Guess I didn't really think this one through, heh. Though maybe I should see about getting something stronger, but that'd prolly take a prescription." He gave a dry chuckle. "Heh...what doctor in his or her right mind would give someone like me a prescription for pain meds. 'Uh..yeah, I need it so I can touch stuff and view the past.'" He gave a cheesy grin. "But, I manage."
"That sounds cool, and a lot less painful. Me, once I see it, it becomes part of my memory as if I was there. Oh and it's worked on something of mine before too. Then I get two copies of the same memory, just in two different perspectives. That's fun." he rolled his eyes, picking up what looked to be an autographed picture. Chuckling, he shook his head, then wrote "FORGERY" on his pad next to the item number.

"Yeah, this is true." Ty bit his lip, thinking. He was unsure at first, but then he decided. Tses wasn't really herself right now, and the 'normal' Tses would likely never let him make up for anything--especially like what he'd done. So...regardless of what may happen when she gets her memories back, he planned to at least show her the time of her life before then. Like he had once before...

Ty gave a dry laugh before producing his own bottle of aspirin and shaking it, though it made a louder sound given that it wasn't as full. As he popped two more pills, he almost choked at the "If you don't join, I'll kill you" remark. Well, whatever he was in, he was in deep, wasn't he? Oh well. What did he have to lose? Besides...he'd be making money.
"Sure. I'm in," he replied, not really a hundred percent sure of what he was getting himself into, but then again...was he ever fully sure? He straightened in his chair, watching the roach-man make his move.
"That's all that comes to mind. But the knocking out might be a bit much. I mean, unless you don't want any new recruits to know were they are until everything's over. Then again...it's sorta creepy. Almost intimidating. If you're going for that, I say keep it." He gave a shrug.

Ty nodded. "Makes sense. You don't have your memories, why you do what it is you did, so you feel guilty, I guess." He chewed his lip as he thought.
"True. Maybe after all of this, you'll find it in your heart to forgive me. But if not, well...I'd just have to lie in the bed I made, I guess. I normally don't think, I just...do. Then I face whatever music I have to face when it's over. Part of why I am where I am now. Anger gets the best of me sometimes...then all hell breaks loose." He sighed, then blinked as she changed the subject.
"Well....maybe not paint the apartment, but I remember some things you enjoyed--Legal things. If you wanted to." He gave a small shrug, turning to look at her.

"Yeah," Ty replied, taking a swig of water and a couple more aspirin. "The older it is, the worse the headache. But if I keep hydrated and take breaks, I should be fine." After a few minutes went by, he politely touched the pearls, then paused as he began to scribble some more on the pad.
"You didn't miss much. Belonged to a rich woman, she polished it religiously. Saw little action. Had a heart attack and this was sold with the rest of her crap, in a nutshell," he said, taking another swig of water and leaning back against the wall for a spell.
"So, I take it yours works alot differently from mine," Ty said politely. "Mine pretty much crams every memory of an object into my skull in a matter of a couple minutes, showing me the important stuff, but I recently discovered with work, I can 'remember' what I saw. Bad news is it's exhausting as hell..."

"Yeah...sometimes. But usually if they catch you doing it," he explained. "It isn't right or legal, but....that's how people like us got by. The streets can be...unkind. We actually met someone awhile back who tried to reform us, named Jacob. I mean...now, when you get better....maybe there's hope for you," he said thoughtfully, relaxing into the couch.
"Me though...even if I didn't have to steal...I probably would just for the fun of it, for the rush. I enjoy that too much to let it go. And yeah...Regan probably wouldn't like me as much as she does if she knew what kind of guy I really am." He closed his eyes. "I mean yeah, I'm a cool guy. Generally nice...but...well you know by now I'm sorta a troublemaker...I have tendencies where I take my anger out on someone...Usually undeserving. Which is actually part of why we are where we are now." He let out a sigh through his nose, closing his eyes and looking at his green-gloved hands. "Honestly, I half-expect you to boot me out the door as soon as you remember me..."

Ty took a breath, looking at the other two mutants, then to the objects. Great, apparently he was the only one whose mutation took a physical toll on. He looked at the bottle of aspirin, rolling it between his fingers. He pushed himself off of the wall, making his way toward the paper, grabbing a pad and a pen, then looking at the display case and rubbing his temple with his free hand.
"Looks like I may have bit off more than I can chew..." he muttered. If the fakes took this much out of him...the real crap was going to be hell. Carefully, he picked up a dagger by the tag, looking at it. Taking a breath, he touched it.
~The dagger was forged in a blacksmith's shop. Bought by a middle eastern assassin. Saw many deaths before being passed down to the next generation. And the next. And the next...before finally being stored, the tradition broken. Pressed for money, the current owner sold it, and it ended up here eventually.~
Ty scribbled down the number, wrote the highlights of what he'd seen, then took a breath, looking even worse. "Can I trouble ya for a bottle of water?" he wearily asked Terry. Yeah....this kid was in over his head...

Ty chuckled. "It does help, for most things," he replied softly, then looked at her. "Well...you're...self employed, to say the least. Pretty much...a thief. You and me had done a couple things together, mostly for fun though. The big stuff you usually did either alone or with someone more...I guess qualified, hell if I know, heh." He shook his head, seeing the aftermath of her attempted headstand.
"You are athletic. We used to race across rooftops. Even jumped off a building once..." His voice trailed off as he remembered the old days. Though...they really weren't all that old. But they sure felt like it...

The kick landed. Right where it hurt. And Ty crumpled onto the floor in a heap. "Jesus...I was trying to apologize... I'm not a heartless jackass...just...kinda a jackass....I guess...S***...." He didn't grab at the knife, all he did was crawl his way out of the room, and into the hall. "Tried to show some ****ing compassion..."

Ty looked at the signs, at the warehouse in general, and at the guy. Terry? Wow...Tickled? This guy seemed about as fruity as....well nevermind. He bit his lip and tried not to giggle as he listened to the man speak, focusing more on the job they were there to do. Ty nodded as he listened, focusing on the more serious angle as he took off his gloves and walked over toward the dueling pistols. He'd have to touch each one, so he had his aspirin ready. Hopefully he wouldn't go into a coma or something.
Relaxing, he touched the first pistol, and the memories flashed before his mind. Then, he popped a few pills, touched the other one, then took some more, sitting down to rest as he gathered his thoughts.
"Okay...of these two...." he spoke slowly, speaking as if he ran a marathon. "This one's as fake as a politician's smile, and worth as much as his promises. The other's real, but from what I'm guessing...it's worth less by itself, and it was restored. Aside from that...nothing of real importance. That pistol hadn't seen too many duels. Mostly empty threats and carried for show....Sorry to disappoint." He breathed deeply, resting as he leaned against the wall. He'd probably be a few minutes before trying another.

Finally, Ty got the jacket off, and he draped it back over the chair he'd found it on. Then, he picked up his gloves and slid them on, looking at her. His head was still throbbing, so he took some aspirin out of his pocket, opened the bottle, and popped a couple right there in front of her--dry.
The memories and events surrounding the jacket still flooded his mind, dancing around the new brain they were recently shoved into. Suddenly, a light seemed to go off, and Ty's eyes lit up a little, then softened as something hit him.
"Wow...I'm...I'm sorry for all of the trouble," he said sincerely. "I had no idea....would it be rude to ask when you're due?"

"Heh...I wish they did solve all of life's problems...but they do tend to make one feel better," he murmured quietly, pushing his empty plate back. "Speaking of cupcakes, we have a bunch of the ones from last night on the table." he sat back on the couch.
"Yeah, I hate them too..." he said softly, his mind flashing back to an experience he had in a hospital.
"I'll see you soon. I promise...." Hopefully, the memory that would stick out to her the most would be this one. When Ty, tears staining his eyes, leaned down his lips finally really meeting hers in that kiss. He would come up with something, because he wasn't letting her go that easily. His hand gripped hers tighter, as he tried to cling to every second he could.
But too soon....it was over. And he had to go...
He bit his lip, trying to keep tears from welling up in his eyes at the memory. It was one of the ones he'd clung to in all of their arguments--except one. In his mind, he asked himself if it really stopped being worth it. If that really stopped being a reason for him to press forward.

Ty gave a slow nod. "I know...I need to. But she'll probably never forgive me, and I have no way of contacting her right now," he replied slowly, carefully wording it so she wouldn't gather who he was talking about, hopefully.
He ate his sandwich, thinking it over. "Actually....it just might," Ty murmured with a small smile. He looked back at her, taking in her features. She was just as he remembered, save for the new piercing. It made him sad to think he hurt her...maybe....maybe he was the one with the problem, not her...

"Yeah. It was a small town. Nothing really fancy. The kind of town every high school kid ditches as soon as they graduate--or sooner." He offered a smile and a nod at her introduction, then chuckled as he followed everyone else off the bus.
"Heh....looks like this antique shop is the only reason our driver had anything to do today," Ty mused lightly, looking at the third guy, then at the shop.
"And then some, it looks like. Either way looks like there's gunna be plenty for everybody."

Ty looked up at her, more or less just becoming pissed off, both at her and at himself, and it was starting to override the fear that she could very well kill him. "Well, I think I know how my own mutation works," he snapped, his icy blue eyes focused into a glare. "It crams every memory into my brain in a matter of a couple minutes. So, I saw everything."
As he felt the pressure on his collarbone, he got an idea. He had one shot at this, but he'd see how this would work. Quickly, he turned his body away from her with all the force he could muster. Hopefully this would throw her backwards and at least give him time to scramble to his feet and attempt a run for it while fighting to get out of the jacket.
If not, well...he was already screwed so, what did he have to lose?
