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.

I expect people to concoct their own theories IC as to how to stop this, the killing and the peace-making are just two possible suggestions. As of now, I'm sort of piecing ideas together to figure out exactly how this is all going to work out, though I'm not sure how long this will take to work out.

Paige managed to roll over onto her back; it took most of her strength but it alleviated the pain a little. But not the blow to her pride. "I got in a fight yesterday," she murmured as she looked up at Kiva. Her friend.
But friend or not, no one was allowed to see her like this. No one. Ever.
"I also lost my job...was going to see about living here...the only place I know to go. But...I fell." She looked away, very clearly showing off the twin cuts on her cheek.

The familiar sight of the mansion crossed Paige's view, and the blonde made her way to the grounds. Although, her face lacked its usual expression of inner strength, and she lacked her usual energy. What it had, however, was a pair of gashes on her cheek from the cut of guitar strings. They were healing, but still horrible stains on her otherwise pretty face. Her eyes had traded their inner strength for one of defeat.
Her body hurt in its entirety, after all, it was only yesterday afternoon that she'd gotten in the fight--after being showered by guitar shrapnel--with Tses. She had nowhere else to turn, and she'd been welcomed enough on the Mansion grounds, she guessed. But this was different than some visit, or a date with Butterfly. This was...this was going to change everything, but in a way, she didn't have much of a choice.
She wasn't even sure if she'd be accepted here long term...after all...she knew the kind of person she could be. In the heat of the moment, that's just what came out.
However, the girl took a wrong step, her mind overcome by the past events of being fired, having her guitar destroyed, and having to eventually leave her apartment, the only home she knew in New York. Her foot slipping, the shifter fell face-first onto the grass, the impact wracking her already sore body in even more pain. She lay there, groaning out a long agonized "Craaaap...."

"Sure we'll go~" Paige perked up at the thought of a masquerade. After all, hey, it was a fancy smancy party, and one that Paige could potentially turn into a date between her and Chloe. Being from a rich family, she very much loved that kind of scene. But of course, she couldn't remember the last time she'd been to one.
Sure, it seemed like Chloe was going to turn it down, but she'd have to explain this later. Besides, it was fun. Or would be, once the blonde let the other girl know what was going on. Which...yeah she wasn't going to do that in front of Talon.
"Oh, how rude of me. My name's Paige," she said politely, hiding the underlying, possibly evil intentions she had.

"Nor you me," Paige snarled as she walked away. Not really caring that the door was gone. Hell, technically it wasn't her apartment anymore. "You acted violently...you got what you had coming. If you ever pull something like this again...I'll--" Paige coughed, suddenly wracked in pain. The girl closed her green eyes, more tears making their way out of her eyes.

"You BLEW UP MY GUITAR!" Paige shrieked. " I stopped and played the quieter one, but that wasn't good enough for you..." She broke into sobs.
"I'm glad your boyfriend dumped you...everything bad that happens to you...you deserve it...I hope you rot in hell..." she hissed quietly as the door slammed.

Paige had climbed to her feet, ready to attack again, when she saw the explosive hit one of her two amps. It was smaller, and had seen more wear than the bigger one she'd had the guitar hooked up to earlier. Seeing it explode was too much for her, and she felt tears pouring out of her eyes and mixing with the blood.
"That. Is. ****ing...IT..." The fighting stance was gone. The technicality was gone. Blood soaked Paige's clothes, and matted her hair together. She pounced again, swinging with everything she had in her. As soon as she finished one swing, she started another.
Seven swings later, she pulled herself away and sat on her bed, tears pouring even more down her face. "Get the **** out...I lost my job, I'm gunna lose this apartment...then a bitch like you comes in and destroys the very first guitar and amp that was ever given to me...I hope you're ****ing happy..." She lay back on the bed, head throbbing, getting blood everywhere. Everything hurt, inside and out...

Paige didn't see the hair-pulling coming, and it allowed Tses to get the advantage and pin her down. In the process, Paige dropped her weapons. But it didn't matter. Adrenaline was still pumping, though she was starting to feel the effects of the fight.
Surrender? Ha...
Paige didn't say a word, but there was one dirty tactic she was not above. At least...not anymore. She spit, mixed with blood, right into Tses's face before lifting her knee to jab into Tses's injured one. If this worked, Paige would toss the other girl off of her. If it didn't, well...headbutts worked just as well.

Paige stepped back from the grab, but the return punch left her tasting even more blood. When she saw the green energy, Paige noticed Tses's line of vision. Oh HELL no...
The shifter pounced again, aiming to throw off the explosive's trajectory. Which it did. It ended up blowing up a pillow, sending feathers flying everywhere. On the ground, Paige scrambled in an attempt to get on top of the other girl before she could get up. From there, Paige could strike, limiting the other girl's maneuverability in the process.
Though the girl had to admit, this was the toughest fight she's ever had.

"Acoustics aren't even loud!" she spat, taking the blow to the face, then finding herself flat on her back. Mustering her strength, she hopped to her feet, dropping into a fighting stance after grabbing two more large splinters, one in each hand.
"I needed a way to relieve the stress of a ****ty day....you're going to wish you'd have let me play guitar..." The blonde feigned a slash with one her left hand, before stepping forward and aiming a sharp kick at the girl's chest, then following up with a right punch.

This was nice. Paige was getting some time to spend with Butterfly on her day off. Though she really didn't do picnics, when Butterfly had an idea...Paige just couldn't say no.
As they were pulling out the food, some...chicken looking thing approached them and started talking all funny and fancy. And Butterfly knew him, apparently. The blonde couldn't help but giggle at the words he used, like 'burdensome.' Granted, the girl nodded at the request.
"What's up, chicken-butt?" she asked lightly, teasing.

Paige jerked away when Tses grabbed the guitar. But the sudden explosion blew her back, knocking her flat on her backside. Little splinters stuck into her body, some were in her hair, and a larger piece of debris barely missed her head. Some of the strings had recoiled, leaving a gash on the girl's side, her left arm, and her face.
It wasn't this pain that set her off, nor was it the feeling of warm blood trickling down her skin and onto her clothes. She scraped herself off of the ground, grabbing the nearby shard of guitar and gripping it tightly as if it was a knife.
"That...was...my...first guitar..." The spork shifter lunged at the other blonde, aiming to jam the piece into the other woman's stomach. There were three things that you just didn't mess with. Paige's family, Paige's girlfriend, and Paige's guitar.
The shifter was running on pure adrenaline, and she had it set in her mind this chick was going to pay...

Paige glared, picking up the guitar and cracking her neck. She held her pick between her right fingers as she strapped on the guitar and took her stance. Without a word, she began to shred, improvising but using every technique she knew, making that guitar do things an acoustic simply wasn't meant to do. In any other situation, it would have been phenomenal. But in the current one, it was a challenge. A dare even. From one explosive blonde to another...

Paige had her eyes closed, and thus didn't hear the door be kicked open, nor see the girl walk in and unplug her amp. But when her music went dead, Paige's eyes darted open."You did not just..." She hissed. "I had to listen to you and your boyfriend arguing...I had to listen to you blowing **** up. You wandering around here like some idiot, and I'm the one being annoying? Look you...I am not in the mood for this **** today..." Muttering, Paige stood up, putting the electric guitar back in its case before walking over to the wall near her door, where her acoustic guitar stood on a stand.
"Fine..." Kneeling down, she reached to pick up her acoustic guitar. If she couldn't blast it, she'd do it on acoustic...who cared?

Life. Just. Sucked. She stormed in, slamming the door and changing out of her work uniform into a tank top and jeans. Then, she promptly opened her window, and tossed all of the uniforms out onto the alley below. Fired?!? She got fired?!? Of all the stupid, rotten--
Okay, in all fairness, she did end up dumping a cup of scalding hot coffee onto somebody. But the guy had been a jerk and kept changing his mind and hitting on her and and and...
Whatever. It didn't even matter anymore. That was done. Which meant soon, she'd have to find a new place to live. Hell. She'd worry about that later. For now, she pulled out her purple electric guitar, turned the amp up as loud as it would go, and started blaring angry, vent-music as loud as she could, rattling the walls and shaking the windows with the pure power of her skills.
She didn't care anymore. Nothing mattered right now. She was just expelling every bit of energy and anger that she could.
