Alternate Verse (AV)

An alternate universe parallel to the MRO Main Universe. A Rip in the Universe opened between world in New York City from July 1, 2017 until July 1, 2018. Many people from the MRO universe had AV Counterparts, some of whom lived different lives, had different powers, names, and identities.

Differences Between MRO and the AV

 * Mutant-Human relations are worse in the AV. More humans view mutants as lower-class citizens and potential threats, so more mutants elect to hide their mutant identities for safety and social acceptance.
 * The social climate has allowed the AV governments to impose stricter laws on mutants, including registration and more authoritarian methods of policing mutant communities.
 * S.U.P.E.R. was originally founded in the AV and were allowed to operate with impunity. This led to practices that involved abducting mutants, brainwashing, and mutant experimentation.
 * The X-Men were considered an illegal vigilante team operating out of a hospital in New York City with limited resources after their original base was destroyed in an explosion.
 * Cities developed differently, with different streets and businesses making cities harder to navigate for someone from the other side.
 * Pop culture between the two worlds was not the same, with some shows, celebrities, and memes either not existing on both sides or being noticeably different.

Rifters
After the Rip in the Universe closed unexpectedly, not everyone ended up on the side they were originally from. Some MROverse people were lost on the other side of the Rip, while some AV people ended up in the MROverse for good.

Since the site exists in the MROverse, this means some characters and NPCs will be Rifters displaced from their home universe. The US government has attempted to help these dimensional refugees with programs to assist in fast-tracking or acknowledging previous education or employment history, providing financial or housing aid, and essentially establishing them as documented citizens of the country and universe.
