Chronicles of Los Santanas
Los Santanas, California. Founded in the late 1700s by Spanish Colonials, it has a long and rich history, culminating in becoming the most populous city in North America in the year of 1975. Coincidentally the same year in which Meta-Human populations started to balloon. As of current, there were an assumed 18 Meta-Humans for every 200 US citizens. Enough to be an everyday occurrence in most places in the US, but not enough to be so common as to be a worry. At least it shouldn't have.
In late 1989, a small group of Meta-Humans broke in to a Nuclear Silo near Bismarck, North Dakota with the intent of launching the Minuteman within at the USSR. Though the US government was not capable of responding in time for to prevent launch, they didn't need to. In their stead, an anonymous team of Meta-Humans raided the facility in time to stop the launch from continuing, and simultaneously detaining everyone involved with the plot within the silo. Although the US never learned their names, the radio transmissions between the team were recorded, Atlas, Jaeger, Nexus and Chrono. Four heroes who stopped the apocalypse, and disappeared just as quickly.
It was this event that lead to the UN signing of 'The Bismarck Accords', a binding resolution outlining the difference and regulations between Meta-Human Vigilantism and Policing. Legally allowing Meta-Humans to use their powers to assist law enforcement in the capturing and detainment of criminals, with the exchange of being held to the same rules and regulations as normal law enforcement officers.
Over the next five years, the four heroes who saved the world from a nuclear holocaust reappeared across the continental US, none of them becoming member of organized law enforcement, but their reputation stopping them from being arrested. Until they stopped showing up completely at the turn of the century. No appearances were made by any of the quartet. Until 2012 when Chrono finally revealed herself and signed on as a member of the Los Santana's Meta-Regulation Department. It's where she remains, tight lipped as ever on the location of her former friends.
Yet all around stand men, women, and children spurred on by their example, ready to fight and serve for justice, vigilante or not, Meta-Human or not, they all stand for a common goal. The cessation of villainy and crime within their home. But they aren't the only ones with plans, those with their own goals stand to test both their own and the city's mettle. In an attempt to simply change the world to their own view, or through societal detachment, they wish ill on the heroes of a new age.
Welcome to Chronicles of Los Santanas, an attempt by myself to use the experience I gained over the past few years, to revisit and recapture the first RP I ran in a new light. Taking place in the fictional expy of Los Angeles, you will play as either a hero villain, or someone in between vying for their own goals or the general goals of a group. Players are requested to give and take, not even superman was infallible no one should be stomping down everyone in every fight. And while the US Government and the UN like to leave the actual Meta on Meta fighting alone, they are fully capable of fighting and killing any Meta though at a large cost of life.
And while the RP will primarily take place in modern day Los Santanas, there will be possibilities to wander out for small periods of time to pursue objectives that would fit within a metro area, like hidden bunkers or deep sea structures.
But we have more to cover:
