Supers in Chicago
PostPosted: Sun Jun 20, 2010 12:05 pm
Hello, everyone! This is my first RPG, and I hope that at least a few people will participate! Here goes nothing!
-Story-
The story takes place in Chicago, Illinois during an alternate 1920's. Diesel powered robots, ray guns, and similar pulp magazine technology exists. Most peculiar of all, however, is the existence of super heroes. Super heroes exist everywhere, from people born with a mutation, to people who obtained their powers through accident, to those who use technology to obtain their powers. Roughly half the population have super powers of some sort, though most rely on science to give them powers.
This would be wonderful, but this has also given rise to the existence of super powered criminals as well. Not only that, but groups of heroes and villains have been warring, and the fallout is so bad that the U.S.A. has broken up into territories controlled by certain groups of heroes and villains. The world is polluted, crime-ridden, and an overall terrifying place.
In Chicago there are three groups fighting for dominance in the city: The Kapoots, a group of super powered criminals who want anarchy and chaos to reign supreme, the Red, White, and Blues, a group dedicated to their cause of bring the United States back together, and the Successors, a group who want to eliminate the crime and evil in the world, but want the states to remain divided.
Your character is an agent of one of the three groups, with their own motives and super powers.
