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: As a child Luke Jacobs was sent off to Europe to go to school. His mother had run off not long after he was born and his father had killed himself right around Luke's second birthday. Oliver Jacobs, Luke's uncle was made guardian but rather than spend time with the child he put the family's money to use by sending him off to Europe. This allowed Oliver to watch over 'Jacobs & Jacobs Security' without being pestered by the little brat as he so affectionately called Luke.
After graduated from school, Luke backpacked across Europe learning about the people as well as his own special ability. Though blind, his sonar allowed him to function as well and perhaps even better than those with vision.
After seeing the way crime affected even the lowliest farmer, Luke set out to do something about it. While going to business school in order to give himself a reason to return to the state, Luke also received training in Bartitsu. Bartitsu is a mixed martial arts that combines the best of Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, and both Baton & Staff combat.
After returning to New York, Luke created the costumed identify of Wraith in order to strike fear into the hearts of the criminal element. Though not yet well known, Wraith's fame has been growing as time passed,.
Luke is now a proud member of the X-Men and has also become friends with mutants outside of the group. Though sometimes people misunderstand his kindness and generosity and even think that he's weak because of it, he has a steely resolve and backbone that let him face down whatever situation comes his way.
POWERS: Luke's original mutation was a sonar sense that allowed him to see, even though his eyes were blind. The most useful thing about this mutation is his ability to see 360o around him during battle. Luke has also discovered that with the utmost concentration, and with his sonar at maximum power, he can see through cloth, drywall and other similar objects. However, his sonar cannot penetrate through concrete or any type of metal.
Luke has a new secondary mutation that will be unveiled soon, but has not yet shown itself in any threads.
POSTS TO SEE: You Don't See Anything (Calley & Luke) While on patrol as Wraith, the crime fighter bumps into a certain transforming youth that is out to save a dog by stealing it away from its original owner. Humor ensues.
Full Circle Bookstore (Ghost, Kaz, & Luke) While out running a few errands, Luke discovers that his rather safe ability can actually hurt those around him. A decision has to be made.
Training At The Apartment (Solo) After having discovered that his powers can hurt those he comes in contact with, Luke sets out to learn the kind of control necessary to protect those around him.
New York Aquarium (Raina & Luke) Romance begins in the most unlikely of places at the strangest times. Luke wasn't looking for someone special in his life but sometimes, things just happen.
A Night Time Patrol (Roland & Luke) When a masked crime fighter is on the loose, it seems almost necessary for a masked villain to appear. Is it actually the hero that bring out the worst in people or would these criminals have shown up even if the hero was not present?

Mansion Greeter, X-men Recruiter, Teacher of self-defense
HISTORY – At the age of 5 the last thing young Sam Johnson would have expected was being abducted- but as a young mutant with potential for power abuse that’s exactly what happened. T.A.T.M.H decided Sam would make an excellent addition to their collection of super soldiers bent on “keeping the balance” but by age 18 Sam had other plans.
Making his way to New York Sam has since become a member of the x-men surviving the awful horrors of the mutant concentrations camps to come out on top with his fellow mutants. A kind goofy guy Sam is cool and collected… until you threaten someone he cares about…
POWERS Sam’s main ability is to create and control ice by decreasing the temperature around him and in him. Sam has become very creative using his abilities. Thus form different ways to benefit his life. Mainly in dangerous situations.
1. Can form a full body suit made of ice giving him a sturdy shield that protects him from things such as some physical attacks. It also protects him from bullets, but not the large impact ones. It also somewhat increases strength. As well as speed (instead of running he skates/slides)
2. Another usefully thing Sam has become used to is creating various objects from ice. Most of the time he creates swords, giving him the name Cold Steel.
3. Sam can control and create ice up to 20 feet around him. And go as cold as -320 degrees, he can create a mist affect making it hard for his enemies to see.
4. Sam’s newest ability consists of him manipulating the air around him. He can compact and freeze them. By doing this he can create anywhere from 1 to 7 Ice Soldiers, just think of them as robots that cant think for themselves. Sam Subconsciously controls everything they do. So if Sam was trying to lift something and it was to heavy for him to lift, they would go and help them. Using verbal commands, or thinking very hard Sam can direct them.
POSTS TO SEE:
Hard Times (FP) – Taking place in the Future Plot Sam is surprised to wake up and find himself in a prison. After hearing about his parents death it seem Sam gets a little intoxicated…
Are you my Daddy? (FP) – An interesting post about ‘Sammy’ arriving at the Mansion. Thankfully he’s met by a very kind and welcoming Lee…
Ice with a mind of it’s own – Sam and Streak meet up to discuss Sam’s progress in the danger room. The two notice something awfully interesting about Sam’s training involving his blind spot and a few extra limbs that shouldn’t be there….
The Things that Happen in Banks – What starts out as a boring trip to the bank quickly turns into a holdup for poor Sam! Could it be an encounter with someone not affected by a mutants powers perhaps?
Your words are wearing thin. Attempts to ruin me have failed. Take a stab at me. We'll see who makes the final kill. Your words won't make me change.
HISTORY: Isabel's personal history is nothing out of the ordinary by mutant standards. It's the same old story of an average life that was upheaved by the manifestation of her mutation and the lack of understanding from those that were supposed to love her. After living on her own for a few years, she decided to take up residence at the Sanctuary after it's grand opening and a lovely little game with the NYPD outside the lavish building.
She has since joined the Order, a radical group all for mutant supremacy. With their allowance of her increasingly violent outbursts toward humans and human-sympathizers alike, she has quickly risen on the list of most wanted criminals in New York, as well as becoming the Second in Command of Lady Syn. Involving herself mainly in the affairs of the Order and those that have the potential, she continues to wreak havoc, as well as try and help her family grow and to do what she can to help realize their shared goals.
POWERS:Isabel is a bone manipulator. With this capability, and so long as she retains contact, she is able to control every bone in her body. With ease, she is able to protrude and remove bones from her body, create a layer of armor either over or under her skin, heal damaged bones, or completely regenerate ones that are lost, making her both dangerous and very resilient. Also, as a partnering adaptation to this mutation, she has a sort of personalized healing ability. Because of this, anything done with her own bones causes her no harm. She can also manipulate the skeletal structure of other creatures, though it is to a lesser extent.
POSTS TO SEE: The Sanctuary [Recruiting Bad Guys] - Site of the famous Sanctuary Massacre. Arriving at the Sanctuary during its grand opening, Isabel quickly meets two individuals that call themselves Raptor and Syn. A small scale scuffle between Raptor and a few others quickly escalates into the slaughter of bystanders and law enforcers as both Syn and Isabel join in and get carried away with their fun. After retreating into the newly opened shelter, the meet a man by the name of Oppressor, the owner of the Sanctuary and the past leader of the Order. Isabel does not hesitate to take him up on his offers to have them join him in crushing the humans, thus leading her into her life with the Order.
The case of the missing pants - During a leisurely stroll through Central Park, Isabel encounters Calley, who is at the time disguised as an adorable little black and white cat sleeping on one of the sunny benches. Quickly engaging the cat in a game with the ribbon from her hair, she holds a one-sided conversation with the faux feline, names him Kitten, and ends up allowing it to follow her back to the Sanctuary, unknowingly granting the mutant teen access to the building and those inside it.
Drinkin' Buddies which leads to The Black Lagoon - An adventure to a bar for some underage drinking introduces Isabel to Calley in human form. A few drinks and a fight with an angry werewolf later, and they are competing in a race to get to The Black Lagoon, a horror-themed movie theater. Tickets are beheaded, the powers of darkness are called, gummy worms are stolen, and a walk back to the Sanctuary is had. Once again Isabel allows Calley to room at the Sanctuary, only this time he's got his human skin on.
Not you, Sweetheart. - During the Camp breakout Isabel runs into the anti-mutant zealot cop, Rupert. Several times she had attacked him, and each time he'd managed to get away with his life. Fed up with his lucky streak, she pursues him through the Camps for one last game of tag.
What Golden Doors? leading to Raina's B-Day Party, Part III: Special Delivery - When the famous golden doors of the Sanctuary are stolen, Isabel is in a rage, eagerly joining her teammates in pursuit of their lovely doors. Winding up at the Mansion, a fight immediately breaks out. With one victory and an unexpected loss, Isabel is forced to retreat, though only physically.
