PREMISE:
Unofficially Hyperhumans; individuals with extraordinary gifts unique to them, have been part of the world since the early 1900's. However in the year 2014 they received an unofficial outing at the hands of terrorist Yakob Kowalski. Kowalski having lost his family to a young Hypes' developing abilities, had maintained a grudge over the years culminating with a plan to expose Hyperhumans as dangerous individuals. However he was stopped by H.I.T. - the Hyperhuman Intervention Taskforce.
In the aftermath of Kowalski's attempts to paint all Hyperhumans as destructive monsters, the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection, or H.E.L.P. as it's often abbreviated to, was forced to shut down not only its offices and taskforce but also its primary institution. This institution was the Pacific Royal Collegiate and University, a school and safe environment for Hyperhumans to develop their abilities at and live a life free of fear and prejudice. No longer able to protect Hyperhumans from the world, the remnants of H.E.L.P. have discovered they are not the only the only ones interested in Hyperhumans. While there are some who wish to use Hypes to their achieve their own goals or protect their own interests, there are others who wish to see this entire race exterminated.
To this end, someone or something has been hunting down Hyperhumans and killing them. It is unknown who is behind these attacks but the attacker always appears without warning and disappears without a trace. Word of these attacks have spread across the internet prompting panicked Hyperhumans to flee their homes. Convoys of Hyperhumans have joined together in order to keep one another safe as they travel to find a place to call their own. But without a sanctuary to flee to, even these convoys are only safe for so long...

PLOT:
A synposis of the ongoing over arcing plot will be kept here for new and current players alike. The main plot is a GM driven story that unites all interested players.
Now in the year 2016, it has been nearly two years since H.E.L.P. was forced to disband and shut down both H.I.T. and P.R.C.U. Those Hyperhumans who had attended the school were forced to re-integrate into normal life, hiding their abilities from those they cared about in order to ward off any prejudice that could bring their loved ones harm. But disappearing proved more difficult than they could have imagined as the rise of vigilantes and other empowered activities kept the global eye squarely on Hyperhuman activities.
For some time now there has been talk of a Hyperhuman Registration Act, which would call for the identity of anyone possessing the Hype-Gene to be registered into a database for the use of law enforcement. While there has yet to be a majority vote in favor of the act, a preliminary version has been enacted for Hyperhumans who have been caught committing crimes with their abilities. It is these Hyperhumans who have skewered the public image and for this reason many of the public live in fear of Hyperhumans. That is except for the city of Larissa. The North Carolina city of Larissa has been under the protection of the vigilantes known as the Mavericks who have won the adoration of their city through their crusade against crime, however this phenomenon has yet to occur in any other location.
As such, 'outed' Hyperhumans are often pariahs within their home communities. For this reason, many Hyperhumans are forced to become nomads if their true nature is discovered. This has lead to roaming Hyperhuman Convoys which make their way across the country in search of a place to call home. Even Larissa doesn't welcome these outcasts into their home, wanting to avoid inviting unwanted travel into the city. With the ongoing Hyperhuman attacks, these convoys have been converging together in order to follow the principle of 'safety in numbers'. The largest convoy ever recorded has currently come to a rest out of Pointe Bordeaux, a city located on the border of the American states of Texas and Louisiana. This convoy is currently pursuing a rumor of a sanctuary that would finally be safe for Hyperhumans of all shapes and sizes.
