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.

Paige held her close, kissing her cheek. "Thanks for the compliments. Those are talents I spent years perfecting. That, and being a bitch. I promise you're just lucky and haven't seen that yet. The majority of the time, I'm not this sweet. At all." She sighed softly, wondering why she wanted Chloe to know how awful she could really be. But it seemed that nothing she said would work.
They got off the subway in the mall, the same mall Chloe and Ty had been to months ago, not that Paige had any way of knowing that. What she did notice was that the crowd had thinned when they got off and not many people were looking at them. So, to show her appreciation for Chloe's honesty and how she felt about her, Paige planted a sincere, loving, deep kiss on her lips.
After a while, she tenderly broke the contact. "Okay, now let's go shopping~" She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Nah. People who need a good beating usually tend to find me," she replied with a light shrug. Oh well, at least the walking mountain left. That was one guy she didn't want to piss off.
Crazy or not, Paige knew how to pick her battles. "So...I guess we're done here? She asked, eyes darting to the crowd.

"No it isn't," Paige snapped. "We're only doing this because some big...." Her eyes drifted back to the large man behind her with the short dark hair, square jaw, and still apparently massive build even under the loose clothing. Good God his back and shoulders were ripped..."...guy...told us to."
The stranger took a breath. "Look. Times are getting bad enough without random and senseless fighting in the streets. A house divided cannot stand. This city, heck, this country, is currently a house divided. Unity is key. So unless you want this to crumble on top of you, I suggest we make nice."
With that, the large, philosophical stranger lumbered off, letting his statements hang, and leaving it to the two youngsters as to what happens. After all, one can lead a horse to water and all that jazz.
"Okay...maybe the big lug is right. Maybe I was just looking for an excuse to beat the **** out of someone today. You might wanna go put some ice on that jaw, like...soon though," she suggested with a slight shrug.

Okay, maybe this wasn't the healthiest way of doing it, but...beating up on this kid really was some great stress relief. Her eyes flashed at the word insane. "If by insane, you mean I don't take any ****, then yes," she hissed.
Paige too, was oblivious to the audience as well, mostly focused on the little punk she was trying to knock some sense into. She stepped in and prepared to strike with another punch, but someone caught her hand. When she looked, she gaped at the rather large male who now had her fist. He had to be pushing seven feet tall, and though he had on loose clothing and long sleeves, she could guess that not much of him was fat.
"I think he's learned his lesson," the large man said, rather softly for someone of his stature. "Now, why don't you try actually listening, then let it go?"
"But!"
The stranger cut her off. "Unless you want to try beating on me a little bit." It wasn't really a threat; the guy just laid it out as an option. To which, the blond shook her head. She wasn't that pissed--or stupid.
The guy let her go, and Paige just stared awkwardly at her former punching bag. "Uh....sorry?"

"You bumped me!" Paige nothing short of shrieked. "I swear to God I'm going to beat that New York attitude out of you..."
She growled, clenching her fists. This time, she stepped in and went for a low left punch to the stomach, followed by a right aimed to his face, somewhat calculating his possible doubling over from the first punch.
She didn't realize it, but her stance had shifted. Even though he wasn't fighting back much yet, she had dropped into her default fighting stance, feet apart, right foot slightly in front. Left hand level with her chin, right more at her chest. By now a few passers-by had stopped to watch. Others just ignored it.

Paige gave a hearty laugh. "The better question would be I have a good side. I'm usually not exactly a Little Miss Sunshine, if you know what I mean. And..." Paige blushed deeper this time.
"I don't think I'm that great a vocalist. I focus more on my playing. But...I appreciate the compliment." She nuzzled into Butterfly a little more, and then the wind died down.

Paige smiled. "You woulda loved Cali, then. Beautiful. And I do realize it's my new home. Which probably has to do with why so many people end up seeing my bad side," she said, flashing a wild grin that at the same time showed she did have a bad side.
"Mall?" The blonde's eyes lit up at the very word. Yes! Something she always loved no matter where she was. The mall. "Of course I want to," she all but squealed.
"Maybe I'll grow to like New York...after all it did give me you. But aside from that..." her voice trailed off, and she began to sing lightly as they walked.
"I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes, and I've been oh hell no! I've been rock and roll and disco, won't you save me, San Francisco?"
This song, however, seemed to tick off the city, because at this moment, the bitter wind picked up even more, causing Paige's free hand to zip up her light jacket as she muttered swear words under her breath.
"Yes. Mall. Heat. That would be n-n-nice..." she grumbled, clinging to the other shifter.

Paige turned, her lips meeting Butterfly's in a gentle kiss before putting her arm around the other girl in return. "That sounds like an idea," she murmured softly as she started walking. "I've been alright. Work is frustrating sometimes, but as far as my day off, I figured I may as well spend it with my girlfriend, right?"
She winked, leaning into the other girl a little. "I still hate this city and the weather therein, though...that I will say," the blond grumbled as the wind picked up.

Paige giggled, brushing her hair out of her face. "You're too sweet, ya know that? Figured we needed to spend some time together. I did miss you, after all," she replied, a light pink coming to her cheeks.
"Anyway, I thought we should hang out, maybe do something fun. My ideas didn't get past there, but...hey we'll come up with something, right?" She gave a light shrug, dropping from the branch--the lowest one--and landing on her feet, though almost losing her balance in the process. Nope, the California-princess definitely was not built for this.

Paige got lucky, it seemed. Though up in the tree, Paige recognized a certain...willowy figure anywhere. Well, at least she hadn't shifted butterfly. The spork shifter never would have spotted the girl from that distance then.
Quietly, Paige attempted to make her way up to the branch Chloe was sitting on. But managed to get just below it. Close enough to give her a light pat on the rear before sitting on the branch below her girlfriend. "Well hello there~" she teased.

The sun was shining, a gentle breeze was blowing through the park, and a blonde young woman was making her way through the grass sporting a smile. Birds were singing, and the sun had a big smile on its face as a rainbow spurted through the clouds--Okay no. Not really. It's all a lie. Sorry, kids. No fairy tale story this time.
The sky was overcast, the smiling sun blocked out by the ominous black fluff that threatened to pour down rain in the 60 degree weather. There were no birds, save for a handful of crows. And the blonde?
Okay, for some reason, the blond was smiling as she walked through the park, tossing her hair back and holding her light jacket close to her as the wind picked up. It was her day off, and things seemed to be going well outside of work. That, and she was hoping to find someone. She'd called earlier, and they were scheduled to meet here. Now the fun part was just to find her.
So, in that sense, maybe the story of a love-struck teenager was reminiscent of a fairy tale, even if the environment didn't match.

Paige gave a giggle, relaxing a bit. "Oh, well...it started when I was almost fourteen. I was at cheer-leading tryouts for high school the next year, and one of the football players snuck up behind me and startled me. Next thing I knew, I was looking up at everyone and they were gawking down at me." Paige gave another chuckle, looking at Maya.
"That day, I discovered that when spooked, I turned into a spork. Occasionally, if I get too emotional or if startled, that still happens. Mostly what I can shift into are simpler things. But I can do a toaster or a microwave or something like that, only it won't work. Non-electronic devices I can do pretty well though."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Make things safer, and at least try to keep things remotely under control. Stuff can really get outta hand when all goes to hell," she replied with a nod.
Okay, so maybe her violent tendencies werent exactly doing her favors here, but generally the receiving party deserved it. "I admit, I was less...tolerant in my younger years, when my powers emerged especially." Which probably leads one to question her younger years.
Regardless, maybe what the girl needed was a place where she belonged

"Saving my ass is the best thing ever, if you ask me," she teased lightly. "Nah, I really wouldn't, knowing me. I don't shift in the face of danger. I tend to punch the face of danger." She tossed her hair back a bit, out of her eyes as she approached the car.
"If you say it's cool, I believe you. Cops huh? That's pretty sweet. I had the cops talk to me once at school on my seventeenth birthday. They informed me that since I was seventeen, I couldn't go around punching everyone who picked on or hit on me. So, I made sure they were too afraid to tell the cops." Paige gave a wicked smile at this.

Paige chuckled at the skinny dipping comment. "Sounds like fun. Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case...well I still said it." She gave a light laugh and a smile. Sure, she was joking, mostly...After a day like today,she needed to have a little fun. Even at someone else's expense.
"Bummer. But I know how that is." In truth, Paige was bisexual, but she tended to like girls better because...well since it was Paige, most guys ended up getting punched.
"Oh, well car it is then," she replied. "Just so you know though...I have a clean record with the police. And I'd like to keep it that way. You get caught, I'm totally shifting..."
