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.

Got a plot in mind?
MRO plots are player-created the Mods facilitate and organize the big ones, but we get the ideas from you. Do you have a plot in mind, and want to know whether it needs Mod approval? Check out our plot guidelines.
My posts have been slow, and will continue to be so over the next week(?) or so. I'm working on doing major updates to MRO skins and other graphic type things. I will be online and chatting, but likely will be distracted by making MRO look all spiffy. Apologies to those who are waiting on me, and thank you for your patience! Hopefully my efforts over the next few days will be beneficial to everyone.
We are currently working on updating the options for skins.
New skins include: Clover Abyss Toon Reel Real Reel Patchwork (Check out what happens when you scroll your mouse over the board names!)
Coming Soon (keep an eye out): OdeToSlate
On the flip side of the coin, we are also planning to delete some of the skins, so we can make it a bit easier to search through them all. If you'd like to save a skin from the endangered skin list, post here.
Ghost and I are working on updating the options for skins. We currently have a LOT of skins that are kind of similar to each other. In fact, we have so many it takes nearly an hour and a half to switch to each one in order to see what they all look like. I should know, I did it to make this list.
This is the list of skins I propose to delete altogether, hence the purpose of this thread. If you'd like to save one of these skins from the endangered list... aka, skin death row, post here and I won't delete that one.
Because we are experimenting with some new skins that don't have black backgrounds, I would avoid the first three on that list, Lady J. They have automatic black backgrounds, while all the others have clear backgrounds that will look good on any skin color.
Merged form: Tarin's merging power is incredibly unpredictable. When it occurs, a completely new being is formed with its own powers and its own personality. Because of this, it's nearly impossible to write an accurate attribute profile for that situation. This whole profile could be different, depending on the situation.

Caleb "Slate" Swartz
Kabal Leader
For we are afar with the dawning And the suns that are not yet high, And out of the infinite morning Intrepid you hear us cry -- How, spite of your human scorning, Once more God's future draws nigh, And already goes forth the warning That ye of the past must die. From Ode, by Arthur O'Shaughnessy
HISTORY: An Italian face with a hint of Hungarian in the nose, and a bit of Irish in the cheeks; baby blue German eyes watching it all. The Kabal's Leader may look like the typical eighteen year old Jersey boy, raised in the smog of Newark, but Slate was born IC on MRO in the fall of 2007 as a split personality in the head of Caleb "Calley" Swartz. His firsts have all been on MRO: his first laugh, his first attempt to cook perfect pancakes, his first Christmas, his first tantrum, his first date, his first death, and his first bloody coup of a Faction. Soon, you'll even get to see his first insidious takeover of a foreign nation. Aww. Thanks to the Adapted Jacen, Slate now has his own body, distinct from his 'twin brother' Calley. The world thanks you, Jacen.
POWERS: Slate began as a healer, tricking Calley's shifting power into resetting their injuries; that humble beginning has spawned off into something much more, the extents of which Slate himself does not yet grasp. He knows he is a psychic healer; he knows he can enter a person's mind; he does not know anything of his limits and particular talents, yet. For a look at what his powers have in store for him, visit his profile.
