Four years ago The Chosen attacked Los Angeles. It was coordinated and caused heavy civilian casualties, but no one realized its tactical magnitude until it was too late. The timing was perfect, the only free heroes that could respond in time were the students of Novum Saeculum Academy: a school founded by the legendary hero Cypher to train the next generation of heroes. The Students, even with the aid of the teachers, were woefully unprepared. They were blindsided on every turn, any blow they landed was turned back on them tenfold. Then, Albion, the ancient mage known as Skullduggery, played his hand. Through the utilization of trans-dimensional travel, he managed to reach into the empty space between dimensions and pull out the strange sub-atomic particles known as 'Nether'. He managed to weaponize it, creating a super-weapon capable of annihilating matter, canceling it out of existence. Using only a fraction of its power, Albion destroyed Paladin, the Headmaster of the academy.
With that last action, the world fell into anarchy. It began slowly, but soon accelerated into a run-away global conflict. Millions upon millions were killed in the coming years. Governments soon disavowed the St. Petersburg accords that had founded Argus and forbade Meta human service in any national military. Metas were placed on the front lines, only increasing the destruction. Russia annexed the Union of Russian Heroes into the national military, and soon, all the major teams were either fighting for their nation of origin, or struggling against the force of the Chosen.
Eventually, Albion decided the world had been through enough strife to fuel 'human evolution' for the near future. With his departure robbing the global flame of its fuel, the rubble soon cleared... Most of the worlds heroes had been lost, but most shocking of them all was Cypher, and with him, most of the Regents. Those that remained, gave up the hero life, and even went into some level of hiding. Now, the world lies in chaos. Several governments and cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Korea, and the Baltic States have collapsed into "dead zones" that foster a safe haven of sorts for criminals and outlaws alike. A similar fate has befallen the South Eastern Asian Islands, Hawaii, California, and New York City.
Metas are once again feared by humans, spawning organizations such as CADMUS to make a come back. World Governments are scrambling to track their meta populations, threatening to reignite a new war on Meta humans. However, the World still needs protecting. What will you do now? Will you protect the world from the continual onslaught of villains, or will you use this as an opportunity to exert your will on a vulnerable planet? The Choice is yours. Are you a Hero?
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another installment of Are we Heroes. This takes place in 2022, four years after the events of the previous RP: Nocum Saeculum. World War III has left the world broken, however there is still a need for heroes. In this RP you will can play a meta human that has either a heroic or villainous slant. There will be a never ending series of threats for heroes to deal with on top of dealing with villainous actions of some players.
This is an open world RP, but I will create 'global events' so there will always be something to grab your character's attention. Your characters can also influence the world (with approval from me) and draw out the interaction with other players. I hope you have fun, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
