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?
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.
If an animal causes the extinction of another, it's nature at work. If a humanoid causes extinction somehow it's no longer natural.
Humans set the bar too low. Substandard species are coddled and weakness is perpetuated. Human law is the only thing that stands between a stronger, more harmonious world.
Do you feel a lack of challenge in your job or life? Are you creative in dodging consequences? Do you have any enemies you might like to put out of the way? Are you enraged that the world has oppressed you? Perhaps you’d like some friends or family to succeed where they aren’t currently? Would you like to carve out of this world a better one?
If you find yourself answering yes to any of the questions above, join the Order. Help us set standards that will force the population into higher state of being.

How to Join
So, you want to be one of the Future Leaders of Tomorrow, do you? A wise choice indeed. In a world where mutants and humans have so much trouble coexisting, this really is the best route to take.
You, my dear Homo Superior, will become a member of the family. Lori Faust, a.k.a. Charge, is the woman to speak with about joining the Order. You may, of course, speak with any Order member about joining. If you know who the right people are, that is.
An Order member will through various, undetermined tasks have to pass judgment before becoming a proper member of the family. Once we are sure you can be trusted, the title is yours. So what if you needed a little polishing before you shine just right?
Loyalty is key. We cannot have spies running amuck in our lovely home and blood traitors will be broken.
The Sanctuary
Behind the golden doors ...
No doubt there are some nasty rumors swirling through the air about those that live in the Sanctuary. We beg of you to reserve your judgment. Humans and X's just don't understand.
At the Sanctuary we are a family of mutants working with out unique gifts to better the world in our own way. You may have heard whispers of an organization living within the Sanctuary's walls, guarded by a magnificent golden door. However, to the public, that's all they are. Whispers.
The Order is a secret faction, not one that flaunts themselves like a certain group of gifted flubsters. The public is kept largely unaware of our existence, though mutants at the Mansion would likely be clued in.
What the public does know is that the Sanctuary is an all-mutant safe house. Humans can find shelter elsewhere, as the Sanctuary's residents have turned their attention to those that truly deserve it. We are a place where mutants can feel safe, secure and protected from a cruel and judgmental world. We will not turn away any mutant who seeks us out. Be they gruesome or beautiful, every talent is useful.
