what's going on at the disney theater?
Letter Bee said
The riot was an Anti-Metahuman protest that was made much worse by the fact that the instigator of the Anti-Metahuman protests hired a Meta (Aster) to kill several of the protesters rioting, as well as the policemen keeping order. Before this, Gary Stuart, my NPC, tried to hire several Metas (Pamela/Twist and Dean/Bojangles) to the protesters; he guessed that the Walt Disney Concert Hall was going to be the focal point for an attack, because, well, it's Disney. However, the Metas he hired failed spectacularly, and Aster got away, and was then ordered to abduct the mayor and take him...somewhere.
In the immediate aftermath, Ruby, a Technopath given Power Armor by the Big Bad, attacked the FBI headquarters in LA and blew it up, killing many people. Cedric, one of my PCs, as well as William, an NPC, survived, and Cedric now vows revenge.
Alec, another Metahuman who was asked to protect the protesters, refused to do so and instead began investigating on his own. He'll join the Heroes soon.So, yeah, Chaos.
And, finally, in the aftermath, Martial Law would be called, throwing things in further disarray for the Heroic Metas and the Internal Reformist movement. So, yeah, the good guys are in a bind.

To add more to the summary Letter Bee just constructed, the first Arc dealt with the Heroes trying to protect a gang leader named Valentine Caro who possessed information on over 2000 mercs. The mercs quickly got alerted and were either instructed to kill or break Caro out. Elijah, AcerRo's character, was one of the mercs who pulled an assassination attempt on him, but thanks to Nightingale's, Cedric's and William's intervention, Caro got off easy (if you call third-degree burns easy). In the meanwhile, Cypress, the Aparture poster girl, was in pursuit of Elijah's partner, Ruby, who had earlier raided one of Aparture's assets. She finally managed to track Ruby and they argued the shit out of each other in the rooftop. Unbeknownst to Cypress, Ruby had alerted Aparture and minutes later they came in, guns blazing, and captured both Ruby and Cypress.
Nightingale held a grudge against Aparture, so she decided to join Elijah and lay vengeance on them. Cedric caught them make a deal and came to the realization that Nightingale had defected. Somewhere off-screen, the TV man was taping everything.
A few feet below Aparture was a high-security prison, in which Constantine and Alto, a government meta and a merc, broke in and rescued Cypress. Ruby was offered to join Aparture, and she accepted.

Hey, I'll have you guys know that Ruby has a leave-no-drone-behind policy! I'll drop it for now though. :PAlso, I know, I really like the song and was focusing on the lyrics when I realised that they really applied to the RP!

Lore questions: StephenRouse, the first GM, mentioned a "Sleeper Facility" that functions as a Meta-Prison, which in turn was the place where LA's first Superhero Team was forced into going, kick-starting the plot. Is the Sleeper Facility the same as Avalon, or is it different?
Second, did Stephen tell any of you about the origins of superpowers? He says that that was going to be the original plot of the RP.
NarcissisticPotato said
Edit:Avalon is both, kind of. Any Metas that are deemed weak are held in the high-security section that most of the Magi oversee. Deeper into Avalon, the A-Class and B-Class metas are stored in the sleeper facility that is controlled by the Magi Hypnos, a SS-class Meta who can put someone into a coma and keep them in that state. Avalon is usually the spot where rogue S-class and SS-class Metas are put down.

Stephen never told me anything about the origins of the power, but due to the fact that I've been making the lore up as I go along, I'm sure I can find a reason for that!
Letter Bee said
Dangit all, I genuinely hoped that the Sleeper Facility was separate from Avalon and that the Magi were good guys.
Teal said
Speaking of the Magi, are we going to meet them anytime soon?
Letter Bee said
So, basically, Constantine and Alto's raid on Avalon was both 1.) Lucky, and 2.) Probably illegal, as they were infiltrating a facility under the protection of the Government to free someone who might be a criminal.Dangit, can we go with: the Government doesn't know that Consty and Alto were the ones who broke in?
