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.

HISTORY - Second oldest in a family of four, Lee was raised in Barrie Ontario. Though her mutation began developing earlier, she didn't realize it until just before turning 14, and even then, her family thought perhaps it simply stemmed from some kind of medical condition. Once that solution proved untrue, things changed pretty rapidly. Finally, by age 16, Lee found herself on the streets.
Over the next few years things were difficult, but eventually she made her way to New York, and things began to change for the better. One of the best things came in the form of a man named Tarin, also a mutant. Life went so well, that in five months, the two became engaged.
Then came the Mutant Registration Law, and things began to change, yet again, this time for the worse.
POWERS - Lee's body cannot produce it's own energy. For this reason she must siphon energy from those around her. For the most part, no one knows, nor will feel the drain, unless she actually touches a person. If she pulls in enough energy, Lee's speed and strength increase greatly, up to about twice as fast and strong as a normal human. Who needs energy drinks with a mutation like that? If she touches a person who is asleep, she can even enter their dreams. For more info, check out her character profile.
POSTS TO SEE:
It wasn't supposed to be like this - Lee finds herself up against part of her fiance's mutation, called a merge. Sound's mild enough, right? Right. So mild that it nearly ended their engagement and his life, and brought Detective Rupert Kelly into the mix on top of everything else. Misunderstandings are a beautiful thing.
Fancy meeting you here - After Lee is captured and confined in the camps, Rupert tells her about the impending breakout, and she realizes that he actually is a decent human being. Even if Rupert does deny that
Senses, a must - During the breakout, Lee submits to a merge with Tarin. Amid the chaos, she realizes that she misjudged him. But some things must come first; in this case, getting out alive.
Just can't figure out how she slipped away - The camps are gone, life is back to normal (sort of), and the engagement is still off. It's time for Lee to move out of the apartment she and Tarin shared. Be sure to have your tissue box nearby when you read this one.
Lee's story is far from over, so keep reading. Remember, for every chance there is for things to get worse, there's always the same chance for them to get better.
And now its June's turn. Let's hear those nominations again.
And just a quickie reminder to all, those who have won MotM (not nominated, just won) within the last few months cannot be nominated again. Of course, feel free to put in a good word if you'd like.

In honor of a great rper, and a dear friend. We'll miss you, Iris.
We are officially unmixed! Yay! Well, sort of.... A couple of the boards have been reordered, but for the most part, things are now back to normal. We'll be working on the cosmetics (like the annoying blue space at the bottom of the page ) for a while longer. But all in all, things are back to normal again.
At least, as normal as they can be with chaos-happy mutants, issue-ridden zealots and destruction-desiring robots running loose......

Okay..... So, as you can see, the board is once again running, after a hiatus yesterday. Unfortunately, we seem to be a bit..... scrambled. lol The boards are now currently listed in alphabetical order, so things are not where they should be. Sorry all for the inconvenience. But look on the bright side: We can post! And chat!
Well, the title's misleading, in that I have no clue what's been updated. Perhaps some of the other Mods can fill in the blanks. But, as you can see, we have our board back. Yay! If anyone encounters any bugs let us know, so we try to fix them and get an idea if things are back to normal.
Also, since we've been MIA for the better part of the week/end, please be patient while waiting for your rp partners. Be considerate and try not to jump ahead of them too far; give everyone a chance to get into the swing of things again.
