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.

Hooookay so! Here is the deal, kids. Freaky Friday is scheduled to take place as a mini-plot for this summer, but we need some help with some things before we can get the ball rolling.
We need a Plot device for why people get switched. For example: some body-switching mutant catches a cold and every time he sneezes, someone wakes up in a different body, or something like that. It need not be serious or even make sense. It's just an excuse to switch.
We would like ideas from members and then after we get those juicy ideas, we will hold a poll where you get to decide our plot device. If you have an idea, feel free to respond to this thread.
Idea submissions are DUE by April 29th. The poll will begin May 1st and close on May 8th. It's a pretty short time line so please get your submissions in!
We also need to take a census of which characters are still interested in participating. If you are still interested in participating please respond to this thread with the characters you would like to use in this plot. We are accepting newcomers and old timers for this plot. If you have just joined, you are free to join this plot.
More details about the Freaky Friday mini-plot can be found here at the original suggestion posting.
It's been suggested that we make a guide for some of the NY locations we have all come to know and love, but before that can happen I'd like to make sure I've got them all. I know there are several dojo that have been mentioned, but I can't remember any names.
So far the list contains:
Any specific locations you know of that aren't on the list? Drop a reply to this post including a link to threads where it was used and/or description.
Also if you have any notable New York events that involve well known landmarks, I'd like to compile those as well. For example: When the Statue of Liberty was thrown into the ocean.
*toe kicks dirt* so... in a week I'll be going to Africa. Peace out. *runs away*
I'll be packing my husband and suitcase and heading off to Kigali, Rwanda to visit the hub's brother, his wife, and their 1 year old son. We'll be gone for essentially two weeks. There will be internet, but no guarantee for posts since I'm not sure what our schedule will be. (Plus, why waste an Africa trip inside!)
I hope to wrap a lot of things up by then, but consider all threads on hold for me from April 4th to the 16th. I'll be back and I'll bring you all some malaria! <3
the current scheme reminds me of jellybeans, and while i love jellybeans I might have to agree with Lady J about the gold.
I do like the Kabal as grey more than the xmen (unfortunately! le sigh. i shall miss it) just because they are the "neutral" faction.
Admin = f70063 .............................................. (Not changed) Global Moderator = 80a71f .............................................. made darker to counteract the jellybean feeling. Moderator = efb221 .............................................. because yellow should go somewhere. Xmen/ Trainees = 043d99 .............................................. same general tint as Kabal/Order, but a lovely blue. Order = 700008 .............................................. changed only to be very slightly lighter for ease of readability. Kabal = 4c4c4c .............................................. (Unchanged) Unafilliated = white .............................................. (Not changed)
