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.

Attention, attention! It is that time of month again: time to nominate the candidates for Mutant of the Month! This venerable contest is a tradition as old as the site itself, a tradition that allows us all to show our support for one another and our appreciation for those that are working hard to make MRO a truly great place.
Don't be afraid to throw someone's name into the hat. It doesn't matter if you've been on the five days or five years, anyone can put up a nomination. If you think someone has done a particularly good job at writing posts, has contributed to a major plot, or has been friendly and helpful in the cbox... give them a shout out! It makes other people feel great when someone notices the hard work they have done. Simply being nominated is a great honor.

Oi, good luck to you Were.
Congrats, Ghosty! You're in my thoughts, like, all the time.
On my end, there was this thing called Phaze... and at the end of this week I'll be going to Turkey for a week. Excitement from those two events has pretty much killed my posting for the past few weeks and starting Thursday I will be completely absent until Easter. After that things should get a little bit more normal.

Who do you feel deserves praise this month? Who deserves an extra pat on the back? Who do you feel has been standing out from the crowd? Who has gone above and beyond during the month of March? If this sounds like anyone you know, nominate them today!
Make someone's day by letting them know you appreciate their efforts. Please describe the reasons you think they deserve the Mutant of the Month title, and include a few links to their recent work so everyone can enjoy it.

Who do you think is worthy of the coveted title of Mutant of the Month? Who has really shone in the month of February? Who makes your heart throb, or takes your breath away with their magnificent posts? Who has won you over this month?

Has anyone wowed you with their posts lately? Have you been impressed by someone's writing style or intricately interesting plots? Is there someone who has out done themselves lately with their quality or their post output? Is someone so awesome that you're bursting at the seams to tell someone, anyone, about it?

Who do you think has contributed the most to MRO over the past month through their high quality posts, their supreme dedication, their amazing helpfulness, their positive attitude, or, in short, their utter awesomeness?
Write a description of why you think they should win, and include a link or two that helps show how amazing they have been recently.
