Invocaret Nomen Irae Dei.
“To invoke the wrath of God.”
OOC [You Are Here] || IC
There has been many troubles throughout mankind's history. Wars have been fought in the name of false gods and prophets; blood shed for reasons unfathomable. Humanity has done numerous horrendous things to itself, to one another. And now, humankind may have stepped too far. Humanity knows its boundaries. Or it should. But when those boundaries have been crossed -
when that trust, that unwritten rule, has been violated? What happens then? The ancient Romans referred to it as 'Iram Dei', or 'God's displeasure'; that phrase evolved into the wrath of God. And never has there ever been a truer statement said of mankind's sins on one fateful day on January the Tenth, Nineteen Seventy-Three. For you see, it was on this day, at the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon according to United States Eastern Standard Time, that something happened. Something that would change the world forever.
The advent of Inhumans, otherwise known as Alterhumans, Althumans, Altmen, Mutants, or Metahumans. It was on this day that a human by the name of Everett Baker attempted to break the seal between dimensions, to peer into what he called "God's World", and what many religious people would call heaven, or perhaps hell in some cases. And he paid dearly for it, for as soon as his experiment started, a blast wave that incinerated and destroyed the facility and all within instantly occurred. The blast wave continued, pulsating with some unknown divine energy or source; people with certain genetic code that was somehow compatible with this energy were 'triggered' en masse, and thus gifted with powers. Some used their powers for good, some for evil,
and some to be left alone.
And ever since that day, a hole was permanently opened - that hole closes and opens as it pleases. And it brings with it what are called the Destroyers. The Destroyers are entities of mass destruction and power, and they keep getting stronger as they are brought through. In response to this never-ending threat, the United Nations became a federal, one-world government in the year nineteen seventy-nine. The UN created the Earth Defense Forces, otherwise known as the EDF. The EDF oversees all things involving Inhumans, as well as defense against Destroyers. The EDF uses what it calls Registered Inhumans, or heroes that work for the EDF and serve in its military, to fight the Destroyers and defeat them. Or at least, perhaps, send them back to their world.
The Inhuman Academy of Development, otherwise known as the Academy, recruits humans who are below the age of 18 with consent of their parents, as well as college-level kids. The Academy helps teach Inhumans to control their powers, and then either gives them the option to serve and work with the EDF, or continue on as independent heroes. Meanwhile, the various heroes of the world have formed their own various factions; alongside the villains and their own factions. The world is a scary place ever since one man got too curious, too ambitious. All it took was one man to change the world and everything about it. All it took was one man. Dr. Baker's last words have become the secret motto of the EDF, as well as being taught to scientists across the globe as to why one must never go too far. On the fateful day when everything was changed, one sentence was uttered:
“Invocaret Nomen Irae Dei.”
A more fitting and apt description of what Dr. Baker had done had never been found. For it was true; he had invoked the wrath of God, upon all of mankind.
Hey, all. Welcome to my next attempt at a character/superhero/supervillain RP. Partially inspired by the Worm series, partially inspired by X-Men and other properties of Marvel and DC Comics, as well as some of my own design... well, here we are. This RP is going to be generally sandbox, allowing for everyone to interact with one another. But it is going to primarily take place in one city, unless the plot demands otherwise. That city is the city with the highest festering crime rate and most corruption problems ever, and yet, it also acts as the headquarters of the Earth Defense Forces. Bay Lake Heights. Often shortened to simply 'Bay Lake' or 'the Bay', it is a city where gang wars and such can and do happen, among other issues, along with the EDF and Academy headquarters / base of operations existing here. Joy, right? You can take the role of a human (pro-Inhuman, anti-Inhuman, employee of EDF, etc.), an Inhuman hero (independent, EDF or Academy) or an Inhuman villain. The choice, of course, is yours. The current year is 2018. For more info, see below.
