The war has gone to hell; Earthquakes, oil shortages, wars, disease, and the economy is shot. This calendar is in its last few days, but perhaps a new one is about to begin.

The year is 2011 and the Mayan's say that the age will end in 2012 and the world seems to agree with the increase in earthquake frequency, the oil shortage and the new diseases that seem to be popping up. There even seems to be an uptick in world violence while the economy languishes at its lowest point in years. Something is going to happen and soon. That's for sure...

This game is about the origin of heroes, and as such characters will be designed as competent normals, 100 points with 30 in matching complications. They will start as real honest to goodness normal folks with real jobs (or the lack there of) and any submissions should take that into account. They will quickly grow to become superheroes details of which will become clear as the game progresses. Players will have control over the character's growth and powers so submissions are welcome to include an eventual power set. The source of these powers is integral to the game world and as such technologically based character types are not appropriate. Martial artists will require some previous background in whatever style they are skilled in as well.

The campaign world is dark though the players will have the opportunity to change it for the better through success or the worse through failure. I ask that players be able to post every other day and will likely post far more frequently myself.
