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.

HISTORY - Saphirus was homeless before he arrived at the Xavier mansion, having lived on the streets for nearly ten years. He came to the mansion in an attempt to change his life for the better. He ended up trying to sneak past the mansion's security, and ended up meeting Jewel, and then getting fried by a mansion trap. After he recovered, Jewel and Silver Streak helped him get a room. He has spent his time, since, metting other mansion goers and fighting crime, monsters, and just about anything else that it seemed right to fight at the time. He recently had a bad encounter with Garrett that has left his sense of balance on the fritz, among other things.
POWERS - Saphirussoaks up kinetic force with one half of his body, and transfers it out of the other. This leaves half of him(the part that soaks it up) nearly invincible to outside force, and the other half as fragile as any other human.

Sebastian is such an interesting character and played so differently than Kat you'd never believe they were played by the same person. Each thread has that feeling of picking up an old favourite book. Anyone can pick any Sebastian thread to read and be easily entertained.
