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.

Got a plot in mind?

Hey Luna! Love the name, great description of everything too! You clearly spent a lot of time on your profile- the making of a good RPer! I have one question though, when you wrote about your weaknesses you mentioned mostly limitations on her power and ability to control it. Though I appreciate the immense detail you went into as it made it make perfect sense I'm wondering if Luna has something other than limitations on how/when she uses her power and how strong it is? I think what you wrote is great, us mods are just trying to encourage members to really think about having a strong weakness so that even if they did go crazy with a power surge or something they still have something concrete that could affect them.
Just something to think about. Perhaps we can PM details!
Before I hassle you anymore I'll introduce myself I'm n00b- named so because I help out the newbs on the site! Before you start playing please take a look at this and PM me or any of the other mods if you have questions. If you need help getting involved give me a shout and we'll get you in there! Hope in the cbox and someone may be able to assist you then too!
Love you character's abilities and weaknesses. Really thought out. Your power reminds me of the twilight series if you know what that is! Anyway, I'm the mod for news for the most part, you can ask any one of us for help but if you need some help getting started, getting into threads, or learning the ropes FEEL FREE TO PM ME. Also you should spend some time reading this to be up to date on things!
Hey Everyone, it's come to my attention through issues I've had myself and issues others have had to that the site no longer will automatically re-size your avatar. Infact avatar sizes may vary depending on the browser and system you are using. You may notice one day someone's avatar looks normal and the next day it's taking up half the page. I've spoken to a few people and have change my own avatar myself. It seems the only way to deal with this bug is to physicially go in and re-size your avatar to a reasonable size. Do not assume the thumbnail will be used.
If your avatar is not already within the size constraints please consider taking the time to re-size it even if you haven't had any troubles yet as it seems to appear very spontaniously and can make reading troublesome for many.
I'd like to nominate Lee! I know he's brand new but man, for someone who's just joined doesn't it feel like she's been here forever from her awesome posts? I think people who can start off strong from the beginning need to be recognized!
And wah thanks for the nom that's the first time since Ted nominated me when I first joined a year ago! *glomps*
edit: haha sorry Lee I kept putting "him" I was half asleep when iw as writing
very interesting character, there's a few players who dabble in the ellements or the flying so I'm interesting in seeing how you play yours out I'm n00b the mod for well. noobs Welcome to MRO. If you need help getting started please feel free to ask me or any of the other mods. This part of the site should really help you get started and Im sure Shade has briefed you on lots. Welcome!
Hey welcome to MRO. Are you going to put any information about what your character looks like? I see the mutation is that they can take on any shape but even our current doppleganger mutie has a defualt of what she looks like. Maybe something to consider Not everyone will know who Dwayne is so maybe add a photo or something too Just a thought. So just for clarification, are you saying that your character can alter objects physically without having to touch them as in your sword example?
I also noticed you didn't put an allegiance. On purpose or did you miss it accidently?
One last thing, lol could you maybe explain a little furthur why your character is 100? Are they youthful or an old man? Is it part of their mutation that he's lived so long? Just need a little clairty
I'm n00b the mod for well, noobs hehe I think you'll find This page really helpful in getting started. I'm sure Hades has filled you in on lots but if you need any help or just can't get anything going please PM me Welcome to MRO! Happy Rp-ing.
