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.

Darius swooped futher down the hallway until he came to a door that appeared to have plants creeping around the sides of it. "Skolrio, Danger Room now buddyt there an intruder alert" he yelled as he slammed his hand on the door. Eaens room wasn't far, Darius let out a few calls to him hoping he would hear something.
He then remebered something Deathstar had said, he had to try find Millie, Darius had only ever seen her once and had now idea where she could be, hoping that ether Eaen or Skoliro was around and could aid him in his search.
The sounds of Deathstars called reached his ears he had to get to her fast to check on progress. Darius quickly threw off his coat as two giant wings thrusted out of his back. With one effortly flap he was zooming down the hallway towards Deathstar. At the end of the hall knocking on doors and checking inside the rooms.
He came to a sudden stop panting as he began to speak to Layla "Everyone..on the west side is safe...all thats left is to check..for..for straglers" he said clearly out of breath as he bent over and tucked his wings in. So many thoughts where rushing through his head, what was going on, but the one thought that was clear to him and that was to get everyone safe and to make sure that nobody would be left behind. "What about you Star where do you have left to check" he said still panting as he looked up at a clock on the wall, they where going to have to hurry.
Darius looked at Deathstar with an unsure look "I haven't even talked to Tricity yet I don't want to get her all annoyed with me for something like the Danger Room sorry Star I just can't hey maybe once I've had a good chat with her" he said feeling bad again as he felt like he was letting Deathstar down in some way.
Darius sighed "Your right not only that but it would be irrisponsable of me as you might end up taking my other more dangerous powers too, hey don't worry about it." he said as his feathers dropped of one by one until eventually they all fell to the floor and the bones of his wings turned to dust and blew away in the wind. "Sorry for wasting your time, but hey thanks for coming" he said as he turned away and start to head back to the mansion. Before he got too far an idea sprang into his head "Hey Layla" he said sin back around to her "How you feel about showing me the danger room, still haven't seen it and I've been dying to have a go in there" he said hoping he might get a chance to stretch his muscles.
He saw Layla approach and he leaped up to greet her "Hey ya" he said leaning against the statue trying to read her mood. " I've been asking around to find out a little more about my fellow mutants here." he paused and began to unzip his jacket "And well, I've been told you have an incredible gift" he said taking of his jacket leaving only his vest on. Darius paused for a second and then tensed, suddenly two wings shot out of his back which he expanded as wide as they could go. The silky feathers reflected light off them making them glisten. He step towards Deathstar holding out his hand. "I want to show you something but I can only do it with your help, touch my hand take as much as you need you won't hurt me" he said extending his hand out futher to her.
Darius continued to chomp on his apple he got from the dining room as he walked along the mansions main path and sat up against a statue looking at the clear blue sky, a bird flew by over ahead. I hope she takes up my offer of meet out here he thought to himself about Deathstar I really want to see if this works, if it does shes really gonna enjoy herself. Darius checked his watch She might be busy don't worry he thought as he had a nice suprise for her. With one last bite he finished the rest of his apple and threw it into the air and released a tiny clear beam of light from his pupil catching it on fire which turned to ash by the time it hit the ground. Ha thats actually my first time I've used an ability here he thought laughing slightly to himself Should be careful though I was just lucky with it that time. Darius still didn't have full control, on that side of his abilties.
The glow from Raphaels eyes stopped as he point to a door. "Thanks for everything you have been a great help and I'm glad I know two names around here already" he said replying to Ralph "Oh and no questions as of yet but it would be great if you could come visit in the mornining, I've got to make a few calls to get some of my belongings sent to here from storage, they should be here by the early morning it would be cool if you could stop by for awhile and I'll show you what I've done to the place , oh and Star don't you worry I'll be sticking around for awhile you should swing by tomorrow too". Darius said while reaching out and shaking Ralphs hand and gave Deathstar a wave "You have both been great and have made me feel so welcome, can wait to see you both again" he said as he turned and opened the door to see a quite sizeable well furnished room. "Well see you two tomorrow hopefully" he said steping inside what he hope would become his new home. {OOC: Making new thread Darius's Room in Bedrooms cause this ones done, hope to see you guys there}
Just as Darius was expecting the stairs where in an immaculate condition as the rest of the place was he then had a quick thought to himself I wonder who cleans this whole place, it would be a hell of a job hmm maybe someones got a power that helps because I sure as hell wouldn't like the maintance job. He laughed slightly to himself as they took off up the stairs to the second floor where the dorms resided.
Raphael and Darius quickly reached the top and turned towards the male side. They passed by the doors everyone seemed to have done something interesting with there door. Darius was already running through what he might do with his which he found ammusing as he had already started thinking of staying again. Almost all the rooms seemed to be taken and Darius looked to Raphael with a bit of concern as they were comign towards the end of the the hall and he began to hope Ralph would point one of them out soon.
Darius threw himself down on the plush couch and let out a sigh of relief and let out a small laugh as this room alone was bigger than his whole house he had been staying in recently. He then listend to Star introduce a few residents he laughed at her description of the mansion being a totally bore, she seemed like a really interesting person Darius thought and started thinking to himself Shes tough but I know that shes got a soft spot the piercings and all have to be some kind of cover up of the real her, hey I've already seen her let down her guard more than once tonight.
He then turned to Ralph and his sales pitch got him even more interested in the institute. Just the pure fact that it sounded safe made Darius want to stay for longer. Also the chance that he maybe able to get control of some of his mutations more hidden powers made him want to stick around for atleast more than one night. But he need atleast the night to think about it. He looked around the room thinking some more about of the possiblities the mansion offers and the danger room Ralph spoke of Wow.
He looked at Star and then Ralph "Thank you again both of you, you really make this place seem like a fantastic facilty, remeber this is all new to me though so I think I'll need to sleep on the though of staying first and well as you said before the head-mistriss has the finally word" he said standing up from the couch and picking up his soaking coat that had left a wet patch. "If you both could show me where I could find a room that would be fantastic" he said giving them both a friendly smile.
Responding to Stars blush Darius gave her a wink and replied "Don't get too use to me doll I'm only passing through I just need a place to stay for the night, I'm kinda wandering through the states trying to find home again" Darius said slowly looking down losing his cheer.
"Anyway" he said perking up again "I'm sure Raphly here won't mind if we just take a seat for awhile" Darius pointed to a couch down the hall "It'd be nice if you could tell me a bit about this place" Darius said twisting his coat in his hands trying to hide his nerves, it had been along time since Darius had the chance to have a proper conversation with someone.
The warmth of the mansion was a huge relief to Darius he slowly looked around on entry trying to take in as much as he could while closing the door behind him shutting out the howling storm. The enterance hall was huge, nothing that Darius was used to after staying in many cramped slumish motel rooms in the area. Darius listened to everything Raphael was saying but he didn't seem to take it all in beacuse he was to busy admiring the artwork on the walls and the amazing architecture of the building.
Darius turned wacked Raphael on the sholder "This place is incredible, thanks for making me feel welcome Raph, I can see myself getting easily lost in here, so yeah it would be great if you could show me the way around here cause I'm dying to get into some fresh clothes" Darius finished as he removed his rain soaked coat and placed it under his arm when he heard footstep on the stairs infront of them he looked up to see a female resident making her way down the stairs and heading in his and Raphaels direction. She walked right up to to him and began eying him up immediatly ,Darius judged by the look in her eyes that she didn't have alot of trust him she then spoke asking him his name, Darius instinctivly flicked his long red hair out of his face and began.
"Darius, Darius spears and who is it I have the honor of meeting so late this evening" he finished
The icey cold rain cut away at Darius's face as he followed the man who greated him along the lenghty path to the front door. Darius turned to his companion "Well were do I begin, the first thing would be my wings sorry can't show you them right now in this weather, they come and go as I please so theres nothing to worry about there" he said as he lifted his hand up to guard his eyes from wind and rain.
"Oh theres one more thing it only happens when I can gather enough energy from the sun but sometimes, only when my emotions are running high enough I can lose control of it releasing the energy in a violent explosion but I assure you friend this has only happend to me once in my nine years of my mutation being present" Darius could see an instint reaction of concern from his peer, he had hoped that this wasn't going to lessen his chances of entry, he thought that because his stay was only breif that it wouldn't pose a threat to the other residents.
They were getting closer now, a relief to Darius as he was beginning to shiver. "Oh and brother I never got you name" Darius finished eagerly awaiting his compainions reply to whether he would be fit to stay.
The weather was getting worse and hearing a voice on the other side of the intercom gave Darius some relief. He turned round and gave the friendly cabby a wave as he sped off. As Darius looked back towards the mansion he could slowly see a figure imerging from the thick constant pounding rain. The man that stood before him sounded friendly enough as he spoke "Sorry about the horrible timing" Darius replied to the unfamiliar mutants question and began to explain his situation. "I was told by a mutant in the city about this place, look I just need a place to stay for awhile, I'm travelling you see and I heard that this was a safe place for mutants" he said loudly to be heard over the storm. "Oh and my name is Darius, Darius Spears" he said as he reached his hand through the gates to the man on the other side.
It was a rainy night and thunder clashed through the sky. Darius looked through the foggy taxi window as he approached the iron gates of the institute he was recommended to see. "Thats seventy five bud" the cab driver said as he pulled up kerb-side and moved his hand towards his passenger. Darius reached down into his coat and pulled out the cash "Keep the change" he said as he stepped out into the storm outside "Hey buddy you want me to wait" replied the driver, Darius looked back at him and closed the door and pulled his coat tight as he approached the gates. They were much bigger up close and slightly intimidating in the stormy weather. He wrapped his hands around the bars which were ice cold.
He knew it was going to be shut coming here this late was stupid, he was about to turn back to the cab when in the corner of his eye he saw an intercom. He stepped towards it, he hesitated to push it as he didn't want waking up a whole lot of the residents to be his first impression but he reached out and pushed the button and leaned in saying a simple "Hello".
