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.

"Nah, you haven't gone off the deep end yet. And use your brain to think. You must have some sort of logical thinking up there. Though if you are human, I have less faith in you for figuring this one out." she said. Butterfly fluttered a bit more obnoxiously, seriously hoping that he wasn't that much of an idiot. She watched him as he pulled out a bottle and popped two pills into him mouth. "I don't think that taking a couple of aspirin will help with that leg pain.", Butterfly said, dryly and shaking her head.

Butterfly shook her head as she watched him use his sock as a bandage. She knew that the injury would need medical attention, but could somehow tell that he would be too stubborn and hardheaded to actually go see a doctor probably. And a dirty sock surely would not suffice enough to be a bandage. "Let's just hope that poodle didn't have rabies" she said to him, still watching. When he asked who she was, she replied with "Well I'm not God, so guess again. And what in the world would I need an airplane for? I don't need an airplane to fly. And from you looking around, you can obviously tell that I can be here without being seen and yet I can see every little thing that you do." "How does that make you feel?" she asked.

Butterfly fluttered closer, still watching him. When she heard him ask if she was God, she laughed even harder. "I'm by no means God. And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like me if I was God. Oh the things I would do if I was God though." she said. She decided that since she was still in her butterfly form, she would mess with him a bit. Fluttering still closer, wondering if he'd ever figure out it was the butterfly was speaking to him. "It took him long enough to figure out how to escape a poodle. Let's see how long it takes for him to figure this one out." she thought. She giggled. She was being so mean, but it was too funny to pass up.

Butterfly was walking down the street from going from place to place filling out job applications when she passes by a cop. "Oh, how I hate the stupid police and government." she thought to herself. Just seeing the policeman reminded her of the video she had seen on the news about a mutant being beaten to death. She tensed up in anger. She was so focused on her thoughts and anger for humans that she didn't even notice that she had changed into her butterfly form. It was only after she passed by a car window that she realized she had changed. "One of these days I'm gonna have to learn how to control that." she said to herself. Just as she was fluttering amongst some shrubs on the main street, she saw a guy trying to walk with a chihuahua attached to his pants leg. She watched as he tried to get the dog to leave him alone. She thought it was funny as he steadily dragged the dog along with him as he walked.
The next thing she knew, the guy had yanked his pants away and had scared the dog, making it pee on itself before running away. "That's not very nice." Just as she was thinking this, she saw a snarling poodle come up the street right towards that same guy. She started laughing hysterically. "Serves him right." she said. She thought this was so funny that she decided to follow him and watch as he got chased. She laughed steadily as she watched. "He's such an idiot. Poodles are not that scary." shaking her head and laughing. Then as he finally jumped to get to the fire escape, she gasped, "Wow, he actually figured out a way to get away from the dog." Seeing that the dog had grabbed his ankle as he tried to climb the fire escape, she complimented the dog for gaining adequate payback for the other dog. "Looks like he'll guess again before messing with someone that's smaller than he is, even if it is a dog." she said, chuckling and watching him up on the fire escape.

She has no problem using her powers to harm someone that makes her mad because she feels threatened or humans because of predjudices against mutants. When encountering other mutants in passing or when she finds herself in trouble, she really doesn't care and just wants to get by them or get away without getting caught and taken in.
Mutations
Mutation description: Chloe can shift into a butterfly and the transformation occurs in a couple of seconds and her blood is poisonous. The poison in her blood is from chemicals she picks up in her diet. Also it is not as potent when just coming into contact with it.It is absorbed into the skin quickly and goes to the bloodstream and affects the area/ limb it came into contact with. This area becomes very numb. If her blood is ingested while in her human form, then the poison works like the toxin produced by the bacteria that creates Tetanus which makes the body lock up the muscles rendering the person immobile so that she can fly away from authority/trouble. If she is ingested in her butterfly form, then the poison in her blood is more concentrated and it is deadly. Strengths: Allows for time to escape and can be used as a survival method. Also, it only takes a little bit of the poison to affect a person. Effects of the poison would benefit by incompacitating enemies. Weaknesses and Limitations:The poison wears off after 5-6 hours when ingested and 2-3 hours when just exposed to her blood. After the poison wears off, the person's muscles are often sore and they feel tired. But the poison can't have any affect if she is not bleeding. Also, if she doesn't keep eating the leafy part of carrots and other poisonous plants from that family, then her poison decreases in potency.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: She is strong enough to run for long distances and can manuever her body over obstacles. She is not a very fast runner, but can change into her butterfly form fairly fast and does so when she feels threatened. Fighting Style: Fighting Style Pros/Cons:
History Of Your Character Chloe was born on March 22, 1993 in Macon, Ga. Her mother was Katherine Ann Willows, but everyone called her Katie Ann. Chloe grew up never knowing her dad. He wasn't even there for her birth let alone any other major event in her life. Her mother never married any other person. She dated a lot but always found the wrong guys to like. They never wanted anything to do with her. Her mother worked 3 jobs and still liked to have a social life as well so Chloe got used to being by herself and relying on herself to get to where she wanted to go. When she was in school, she used to always get picked on. She wasn't exactly from a very rich family so most of her clothes and shoes weren't name brand and didn't look brand new. She didn't have any really nice clothes either. Her and her mother stayed in an apartment complex on the south side of Macon in the middle of the ghetto. Everyday when she walked home from school, the other kids would push her down and hit her and rip up her notebooks. She was so small and they were a lot bigger than she was. There was nothing she could really do to defend herself. And living in the ghetto, nobody really listened to anybody crying out for help. After this she would go home, clean herself up and keep herself preoccupied. When she was about 12, she started to notice black lines start to appear on her back after she got a shower one day and she started to have cravings for carrots more, eating the entire vegetable including the stem and leaves. Sometimes, that would be the only thing she would eat. She kept checking on the design on her back for the next few days. It still continued to form and after about a week, she didn't see anything new change with it. She wondered what it was and she tried to wash it off, but it wouldn't scrub off. Shortly after the design fully developed, she was walking home from school again and when she heard the kids start to come toward her, she tensed up and closed her eyes waiting for them to hit her. But all of a sudden she heard one of them say, “Hey, where did she go?” and Chloe opened her eyes. She was looking down at them and was wondering what happened to her. She moved to in front of them to see if they noticed her, but they just waved their hands in front of their faces and said, “Go away, butterfly.” Chloe heard this, became confused, and then realized she must be the butterfly that they were talkin about since she didn't see any butterfly around. But then she sat and wondered how in the world she became a butterfly. She finally gave up on figuring it out and then tried to get to her apartment, but didn't know how she would get in and didn't know when/how she would change herself back into herself. She flew up to where her apartment would be outside the building. Maybe there was a window open or cracked that she could fly into. She went from window to window and finally saw that her mother's room was cracked open just enough for her to crawl under. She flew to her room and landed on the bed. She tried to just relax, but she was so tired that she fell asleep. When she woke up a few hours later, she thought that it had all just been a dream and shrugged it off. She got up to get herself something to eat. She fixed herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and walked to her mother's room to see if she was even at home. She was in her bed asleep. She went back to her room and ate and went back to sleep. As the next few weeks went by, she felt like she kept having the same dream of becoming a butterfly when the kids came to beat her up, but she didn't pay any attention to it. She finally found another route to take to get home and the kids didn't bother her anymore. A few years went by and she thought everything was going good. When Chloe was 19, she woke up one morning a couple of weeks before Christmas to a note left on the table in an envelope with her name on it. She opened the envelope and took out the letter. Her mother's necklace fell out of it as she unfolded it. She held it in her hand as she read: “Dear Chloe, I love you so very much, but I can't take staying in the city any longer. You are 19 now and can do for yourself. I never meant to be a bad mother, but I tried to do the best that I could. I'm going to go get lost and find myself. Maybe I'll finally be able to figure out what happiness really is. I hope you are not saddened by my leaving and thought that I would leave you my hematite tear drop necklace as a way to remember me. I know how much you loved it since I wore it all the time. With Love, Mama” Chloe folded the letter back up and put the necklace on. She figured that nothing had really changed. Her mother was never around anyway. She just had to get a job now and try and pay for the groceries and rent. She figured that since it was Sunday, she would just wait until tomorrow to look for a job. Her mother had paid for the rent that month and had left her enough groceries to last for a little while. So she just hung around the house in her room, reading a book and watching cable tv since it was so cold outside. When she went to bed that night, she thought everything was going to be alright. She didn't think that she would wake up to somebody robbing her apartment. When she woke up, she heard people busting into the apartment. She got scared and tensed up and hoping that they wouldn't find her. She went to her dresser and got her stash of money that she had been collecting since she was little from birthdays and Christmases before. She turned into her butterfly form again like she had so many years ago. She had left her window cracked a bit from the furnace being turned on too high. She flew out of window and tried to get as far away as possible. It was then that she realized she needed to get out of Macon and go somewhere else. Somewhere with better jobs and a place where she could start over. After a few miles of flying, she finally relaxed a bit and changed back to her human form. Thankfully she had worn some warm pajamas to bed. She finally got to where she could get on the bus. It took her to Atlanta where she went to the train station and asked the teller how far the train could take her. The teller replied that the train could take her to New York City but no further. She paid the teller for the ticket and got on the train. She knew the trip would be long so she took a nap and just tried the think about just starting over and getting away from everybody and everything. When she woke up, the train was in New York City. She gets off the train and the closest place that she can find is a park. She walks into the park and finds a bench to sleep on. She figures she can't do anything until morning anyway. Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Ty Fisher Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Sample RP: Chloe woke up and decided that she definitely needed some new clothes if she wanted to be taken seriously for a job interview. She couldn't just live off of the bit of money she had saved up. She need to find a place to stay and she needed to find a job. She walked about the city in her pajamas until she found a department store. She walked in the store and decided to look around. She found a pair of shoes in her sized. She ripped off the tag and put them on. She put the tag in her pocket. She kept walking through the store finding the rest of her clothes. When she went to try them on in the dressing room, she put the clothes on and took all the tags off. She then proceeded to the cashier where she walked up to the lady and handed her the price tags. "I'd like to pay for these." She waited for the cashier to ring everything up and paid her with cash. "Can I have a bag please?", Chloe asked. When the cashier handed her the bag, Chloe thanked her and then put her pajamas in the bag. She walked out and then made up her mind to go job hunting. She thought to herself, "Well as big as this city is, there's bound to be one job here that I can do adequately." She walked on down the street looking for any sort of sign that a place was hiring. She walked up to the nearest coffee shop. "Oh well, here goes nothing."
