The year is 2021. America is in a dark place. The United Mafia, a vast criminal empire has its far-reaching, sinister tentacles in everything: Congress, big business, the military, the police, the judiciary.
The leader of the United Mafia is a young, wicked, and ambitious Mafia Queen, Aurora Von Staffen. Having recently taken over the entire mob, Aurora will not hesitate to order the deaths of her enemies. The Mafia's word is law and anyone who opposes them disappears. In other words, the USA is quite literally ruled by an evil, all-powerful Disney princess.
Aurora is powerful. In addition to commanding a large army of gangsters and having access to literal mountains of mob money, she can also call on corrupt cops, dangerous assassins, and a large network of sleeper agents and terrorists. There are whispers that Aurora has a number of secret weapons in the making and that the Mafia seeks powerful magical objects.
However, the Mafia is not invincible. There is a resistance movement and this is where you come in. The Antiheroes are a group of vigilantes comprised of street level crime fighters, magic users, disillusioned ex cops and people with special gifts. They fight for the very soul and future of America itself.
The players will RP as members of the new Antihero Force and will take part in a decisive war against the entire United Mafia.
This is a collaborative RP where the players will be encouraged to work together to overcome the challenges created by the NPC Mafia faction. The RP will take on the genre conventions of a gritty antihero flick.
Only a limited number of players will be allowed to have magical powers (but everyone can have a certain amount of exceptional abilities). Hopefully we can get a team with different personalities and different strengths and weaknesses.
