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.

Paige nodded, smiling softly. "Yeah, that's true. And I can leave the park with my ego in tact." She gave a light shrug, though that statement was more serious than joking. Then, Kiva said something about painting, and forest sprites. Hm...that could be fun.
"Oh, so you want to use me for inspiration? That's different, but not necessarily a bad thing. Either way I could definitely use some time to relax."

Paige giggled a little, though she noticed the motion for contact that was averted, and figured not to worry about it. It was weird because of all the people she'd had contact with today, the dragon was the nicest one.
"Yeah, that's kinda what's stopping me. I don't know my way around much yet. I just know...home and work." She shrugged lightly, brushing her hair out of her face, listening to her new acquaintance talk.
"So I hear. Sounds like fun, but the only problem is those things cost money, and money is something I'm sort of shy on," she murmured, shrugging a little. Her face turned pink, and she looked down, those were words she never said before. Before now, she was part of a wealthy family, who could literally get anything she wanted. Now, she was just some spoiled rich brat without any money and far from home...

"Hey, I'm mutant myself, though I can't say I support either race as a whole. Sure, I'm more for mutants because I am one, but...well I believe that every farm has jackasses." She shrugged lightly, having used a phrase one of her friends in high school had used. He was from...Texas or somewhere, and the phrase just sort of stuck with her.
"Whoa, that's cool. But yeah. I mean I know a lot of girls who have to buy a size or two up because of their chest, but...that's not quite the same thing. My family tried to protect me. But when things started to get bad, I volunteered to move away to protect them. My Dad had a friend in New York, and he's my new boss...first day at work and I already wanna tell him where he can shove this job..."

Paige giggled a little. "Damn, because breathing fire actually sounds sorta badass," she commented. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not from here either, actually just blew in yesterday. Though I don't think my boss is tolerant of anyone."
She let out a low sigh. "I'm from California, and I've been both admired and picked on for what I am. So much so that I had to leave to keep my parents safe. Dad had a friend here who hooked me up with a job, if you would term it that."
She shrugged, stretching her arms as her shirt didn't move to expose her pierced stomach. The uniforms were baggy for just that reason. "I think you look kinda cool, actually."

Paige gave an awkward smile. "Thanks.Yeah, they sometimes can suck," she murmured, looking away. "Though I think my new job sucks more. I mean, I can shift into other stuff, but when like...emotional and stuff...I turn into a spork." She shrugged a little, looking at the ground.
"So....what's it like? You know, being...visible. I mean....if I can keep calm, I can like, keep it a secret pretty well. But it's gotta be hard, especially with stuff getting tense with humans and stuff, right?" she asked. "I mean...I don't want to be rude or anything...I kinda admire more visible mutants, even if I don't think I could handle it myself."

"Paige. Or Thingamajig. Or Thing," she said quietly, bringing up the affectionate nickname her friends had given her years ago. As she was set down, thoughts of her old memories made her feel better. As a result, she became more peaceful and relaxed.
The spork on the ground began to shift and grow, looking much like living, silver, silly putty at first, then gaining more of a peachy color, then mixed in with the red and khaki and black of her work uniform. Within just several seconds, a five foot five, nineteen year old blond stood where the spork was.
"Uhm...thanks," she murmured. "Nice to meet you, I guess. I owe you like...a handshake or...something?" she asked, awkwardly extending her hand to the dragon-mutant.

"I don't know if you lost it or not, but yeah the spork is talking back," Paige said, maybe a little more snappy than intended. "Actually...maybe give me a few minutes....or at least take me to an alley that isn't crowded or...something. Once I relax I should be back to normal."
She let out a sigh. "Today freaking sucks..." she muttered. There wasn't much she could do since she was a kitchen utensil and all.

Paige would have tensed up, if sports could do that sort of thing. She could tell that the stranger was obviously a fellow mutant, but the girl wanted so bad to raise an eyebrow. It was bad enough that she was being picked up, much less talked to in this form!
"Hey! What the--" the shifter exclaimed, though her 'voice' that resonated from her body sounded distant and muffled. She tried her best to shift back, but she was nowhere near calm enough to do so. So, until her emotions reached a more peaceful state...she was stuck. Crap crap crap... She was so close to being home free, and her day had taken yet another turn.
This was just great...Her mind raced, though the only things she could think of were 'crap' and how much she hated this godforsaken city. Even if she did just get here like yesterday.

Today...was not a good day. Paige stormed her way down the sidewalk, her red shirt and khaki pants stained with coffee. "Stupid job...stupid freaking city..." she grumbled, occasionally stomping a puddle from where it had rained earlier. "Stupid ugly uniform..." she continued grumbling.
The girl couldn't count how many jerks tried to flirt with her, and she was so close to throwing scalding coffee on a few of them. In the end, she got a scolding from her boss. He'd told her something about not showing favoritism and having to be fair and blah blah blah...
Sometime after that she'd dropped and spilled a cup of coffee on her own clothes. In the end, she wanted to cry, but she managed to keep her cool. Finally, four o'clock rolled around and she'd managed to get out of there. Soon she would be home--if one would call it that. But then, today would be over.
Suddenly, however, a car whizzed past her, sending the water from a puddle splashing directly onto her. Paige let out a frustrated yell, overrun by emotions. And in the blink of an eye, she was gone, a spork lying on the ground in her place.
"Perfect...." she grumbled, lying on the sidewalk, unable to move.

Individual
Character's full name: Paige Alexandria Mason Alias/ Nickname/ Code name:Thingamajig, "Thing", sporkgirl94(Viewtube Username), Alex Mason(Stage Name) Gender: Female Age: 26 Date of Birth: 2/6/94 Birthplace/ Home/ Place of origin: California Nationality: Caucasian Ethnicity/ Cultural Heritage: Irish/Italian, Indian
Appearance Hair color and style: Long, straight, and blond; occasionally highlights Skin Tone: Fair Eye Color: Green Height: 5'5 Build: Lean, curvy Visible mutation: None Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: Her ears and naval are pierced Other features: N/A
Everyday clothing style: Mostly everything she owns is tight and low cut, though she bundles up a little more when outside in the cold Uniform: None Sleepwear: Nightgown, if anything Miscellaneous clothing: Leather and Lace when it works with the outfit
Character Personality: Paige is a firm believer in dishing out what she's given. If you're good to her, she's good to you. She tries to be nice and make a good first impression, but she isn't very good with attitudes; her first reaction when someone is rude to her is to snap right back. Paige is very strong-willed and hard-headed, and doesn't like being treated like she's stupid. If someone's opinion doesn't match hers, she can be very quick to inform them what they can do with it.
However, Paige is the kind of person who makes a good friend, but a bad enemy. Those she calls her friends, she will stand by, stick up for, and do anything for. Once her friendship is earned, though there will definitely be bumps in the road, she'll usually make it right before all is said and done. She has a more sarcastic sense of humor, and melts at the sight of anything cute. Jerks are the main thing that Paige can't tolerate. If someone does her wrong, she's going to get even first and ask questions later. Her anger is generally controlled, meaning when she does get mad, the girl knows full well what she's doing or about to do. She wears her emotions on her sleeves, which means one look and everyone knows how she's feeling. She doesn't really have anything against humans, though she has more sympathy for mutants because she is one. Her philosophy on this is that 'every barn has a couple of jackasses.'
Paige is pretty, and she knows it. She's not above showing off her figure or trying to use her looks to get that discount at the store, or to get out of that ticket. Despite her flirtiness, she's at a point in her life where she's terrified of feelings and relationships, because that's how people get hurt. She cares about people, but she's lost contact with everyone she's ever dated, and she doesn't like the feeling of losing someone.
Job or part time job and description: Paige is now a Viewtube personality and musician, under the username 'sporkgirl94' and recording under "Alex Mason" She's released one album, and works odd jobs and gigs in the meantime to make ends meet. Fears/ phobias/ concerns:Bugs, snakes, heights, pitch black darkness, losing those she's close to Special talents: Plays guitar, draws clothing designs but never does anything with them.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Paige's morality is closer to good these days. She wants to do the right thing and help people, though now she's under the impression that she doesn't need to be a superhero to do good, just a good role model and influence.
Mutations Mutation description: Object-Shifter: Paige can shift into inanimate objects. Her default shift, the one she goes into automatically, is that of a spork. While shifted, she retains her conscious thought and her senses of sight and hearing, along with the ability to talk, though it seems distant and muffled. Since inanimate objects can't die, Paige cannot be killed while in a shifted form. If her shift is destroyed, she instantly shifts back human. Voluntary shifting happens over the course of a few seconds; the stage between one form and the next looks like a mass of putty as she changes size and shape. When tense, startled, or really she instantly shifts into a spork and won't change back until she calms down. Strengths: This mutation would serve as a great way to hide, or even to spy on someone. Weaknesses and Limitations:Though she can't be killed in a shift, anything that happens to her while shifted will in some way or another carry over to her human form. Example: If she shifts into a candle, and someone lights it, her face is going to appaear badly sunburnt when she shifts back. If her shift is dismembered or broken, she will instantly shift back, but she will be sore in all affected areas and unable to shift for at least a day. She can't move while shifted. Her shifting is limited to man-made devices, and for reasons she doesn't know, she cannot shift into any toys, stuffed animals, statues, or anything resembling a person or animal. Paige is unable to shift into anything larger than she is, and her shifting is limited to simpler objects like a spork, candle, or a pocketknife. She can shift into something like a TV, toaster, or phone, but things of this nature will not function. Any injuries she has in human form will not be healed when she shifts, they will merely be waiting for her when she shifts back. When startled or if her emotions get extreme, she tends to automatically shift into a spork. After shifting back to human, Paige has to wait a few hours before being able to willfully shift again. Her instinct shift to spork can still kick in, but she will be really groggy for awhile after that.
Physical Abilities General Physical Capabilities: She has the stamina, reflexes, and flexibility of a girl her size who engages in moderate exercise. Fighting Style: Paige isn't much of a fighter. When forced to, she will defend herself until she finds an opening to retaliate, then try to get away. Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Paige can be easily overpowered, and her speed on her feet isn't blinding. History Of Your Character Paige was born to a wealthy family in California. Her mom worked for a law firm, while her Dad was a photographer for the rich and famous. Growing up, Paige was spoiled rotten, and given anything and everything she wanted. She went to a private school, though her grades were...less than amazing. At home, she had tutors and took lessons on everything from guitar to self defense. By age thirteen, she was more developed, and she learned the art of letting the smart kids do her homework in exchange for a hug, and she was soon on top of the food chain in the popular crowd. But one day, this changed. At cheerleading practice one day, one of the football players snuck up behind her and scared her. Instead of Paige standing there, she was a spork, lying on the ground. Her parents were understanding when they got the news, as always doing everything in their well-to-do means to look out for her daughter. But the school wasn't so understanding. Paige finished her schooling in a public school, her mutation keeping her from the popular crowd, but she made friends among the nerds, the punks, and the band kids. Sure she stuck out like a sore thumb, but she returned whatever treatment she was shown. She later learned to control her mutation, and even shift at will, and her friends affectionately gave her the nickname "Thingamajig." Her senior year of high school didn't go as well. Her other friends had graduated, being a year before her, and she spent her days now being ridiculed, sending bullies home with black eyes, and sometimes going home with one of her own. Her parents had her transferred to a school out of town, and though it was more of a drive, she kept her powers secret and finished school in peace. But people don't forget. Shortly after she graduated, her family was targeted with threatening letters from mutant-haters, so they moved to another part of the state. Things went peacefully, but word follows the rich. When their house was set on fire, thankfully no one was home, but Paige decided it best if she went out on her own to fend for herself. Her father had a friend in New York who owned a chain of coffee shops, so she boarded the plane and headed to start a new life for herself.
________________
While in New York, Paige made many friends and enemies, making a home at the mansion and getting a girlfriend. After awhile, she found herself torn between two factions at the time, the X men and the Order. Unable to make a decision, she packed her things and ran away, moving back home with her parents in California. She started her Viewtube channel where she performed covers of songs and gave musical and life advice, and she landed a record deal, but that fell through.
Not long after, her parents were killed in an accident, and Paige used her inheritance to release an album while she squared everything away, and attempted to find herself again. Now, she's moved back to New York to start over once again in her "second home state."
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Google Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Ty Fisher, Skye Sinclaire, Beau Thibeau, Addy Monroe, Jericho Archer, Seven. Sample RP: "Ohmygod no one told me it would be this freaking COLD!" Paige exclaimed as the bitter cold met her when she walked out of the airport, wearing her tank top and short skirt. Her Dad's friend had met her there, so the first thing they did was buy her a new wardrobe, which undoubtedly took a chunk out of the money her parents had sent with her. Changing into a thick leather jacket and jeans, she was then driven to what would be her new apartment building, a place mostly full of old people and shady types. "You have got to be kidding me...." "Nope. I've taken care of some furniture and the rent for this month, but it's your responsibility after that. I'm sorry, I know your Dad very well, but you need to learn to take care of yourself." "Whatever..." "Oh, by the way, take this, it's your uniforms. You start tomorrow." The man handed her three plastic bags with coat-hangers poking out of them, then bid her farewell. Sighing, the girl peeked into the plastic bag, seeing the red button up shirt, khaki pants, and black apron, coupled with a gold name tag that read "PAIGE MASON." Shuddering at the sight, she tossed the bags on the less than comfortable couch then flopped onto the bed, burying her face into the pillow and screaming. "This sucks!"
