"The Brotherhood, Alphas, Caregivers, whomever. These are the new superpowers of todays global economy, we are but extras in a drama we don't know the end too."
President Perez, shortly after the Tulmira Crisis
President Perez, shortly after the Tulmira Crisis
Setting: Humans with superpowers have been around for most of the modern age, and have been fighting a shadow war behind the backdrop of Global politics for close to four decades. There are many slang and derogatory terms associated with these enhanced beings. although a common term used by the media is "Evos". Some nations consider them assets, others consider them walking catastrophes. This world is similiar to our own in everyday technology and popular culture, but humanity is starting to feel like cattle after what is known as the Tulmira Crisis. In the fictional nation of Tulmira a skirmish between two formerly secret factions of powered individuals brought the true knowledge of powered beings into the public knowledge. No longer could governments coral and hide they're citizens, or use them assets. Several South Eastern nations were all but exterminating any traces of genetic anomaly in horrific murder camps. Tulmira was so devastated in the crescendo of the conflict that it was dissolved as a nation after most its Military Dictatorships army had been laid to ruins as COLLATERAL. After the incident the FOUR major factions of Evos came into the light, promising to neither get involved with world politics or influence Earths destiny. For many years there had been a mutual agreement of secrecy and honor that whatever blood was shed between The Four, it would be invisible to the greater public. But no longer. The four main factions will be detailed in the Character Submissions section.
Premise: Players will play as several baseline humans that have just discovered they are indeed Evos and what that means for them. Expect character driven roleplay and plenty of action for those that seek it. All PCs will start out in a "central hub" but I am more than willing and prepared to GM seperate threads(think of them as your own PCS comic book) with occasional team ups and maybe even Avengers styled crossovers.
Character Submissions: Interested? Great! One of the things players have the OPTION to do is to align with one of four Evo factions. The four factions are The Brotherhood, Alpha Progeny, The Caregivers, and the House of Ahm. Alternately you can elect to remain a free EVO, or join your home countries organized Evo militial unit. The Four are detailed below for consideration, but the choice will be made in game
The Brotherhood- An order of Dominantly male Evos that act to "police" the other 3 in ensuring they maintain the Unspoken Oath. Has ample resources and manpower, care for humanities safety. Think a Knightly Order of Avengers.
Alpha Progeny- The most violent and abrrassive of the Four, they are Evo supremacists. They're battle with the The Brotherhood resulted in the "Tulmira Crisis" and while small in number, are very deadly. Recently thier leader has been captured by the Canadian Goverment and is set to face a trial before a World Court for crimes against humanity, the remaining 3 factions are attempting diplomatic relations to "let them deal with thier own" but so far negotiations have gone nowhere, and Alpha Progeny has begun to enact terrorist attacks demanding thier leaders release.
The Caregivers-The smallest faction with the most potential influence, they have taken a strict stance of Neutrality and instead have elected themselves as the caretakers of the Fours future. Caregivers scour the globe and take in newly discovred Evos to help the through thier growth phase. As agreed upon by The Four, election ceremonies are held where after being in the temples of the Caregivers, Evos can choose to meet with representatives from the three remaining factions to decide if that is the path they wish to walk, or go their own way.
House of Ahm-a Dynastic faction with a royal family in place based in the middle east, the House of Ahms reach is global and they have the most populous numbers. Secret Kingdoms are worldwide, and can operate as thier own as long as thier royalties are to the High House of Ahm and its family. Evos of this faction enjoy a strong measure of security, although as some kingdoms have been discovered while others have gone silent, the Royal Family has demanded answers from other world governments. Rumors amongst The Four circulate that the House of Ahm is attempting to become recognized as a widespread but Sovereign nation and people.
Still with me? Rad. Ok so heres the crunchy dealio. I ran a game to this similiar locally and it was a spectacular time, so much so that in a way this i a spiritual sequel to said game and Im sure I will see some great things come of this. Stone count is 25+5 this is about growth, exploration, and no mary sues
Your probably wondering how random powers will work, and I think you guys will like this bit. Simply clock the below Link.
powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Random
Generate Three, thats right THREE powers and send the resulting wiki links to me. We can workshop your concept out and talk about what works and doesn't work(might need to mulligan as on occasion players have rolled three near god like powers)
I enjoy character driven plot and have used players back stories to enhance the game. Part of your submission will be creating two "background" NPCS that I an use as storytelling elements intimate in some way to your character.
Ideally looking for 5-6 people that can post at least once a week, but the more activity the better. Alt Energy rules are in play
Questions, comments? post em below!
