Beginnings...
In just one moment everything can change for ever.
You were just like everybody else, sure you thought you were different or unique in your own certain way, that was up untill the 'event' where things truly changed for you. Now you really are something special.
But your not the only one... Others have changed too and in different ways.
Can they be trusted?
That's not all that has been changing... It's in the air, written in the prophecies, foretold in the tea, DARK days are coming.
The unnatural is slowly becoming the normal.
What will you do now? Where will you go?
Do you seek the answers of these mysterious origins, maybe search for solace with simarly gifted people?
Or do reasons and answers hold little interest now you have powers. Do you seek to indulge and enjoy your new abilities, to make the most of life and live it to its fullest.
Once fate (the GM) has bestowed your new powers upon you, it is completely up to you what you do next. You can heed the warning you were given or even try take over the world. (But let's not get too silly) times are changing though. (Not giving anything away yet.)
As a mostly sandbox game it will be up to you to interact with others and develop into your given powers. The GM and CO GM's will offer assistance, guidance and occasional events with the odd major event every so often that will reshape the game!
The 'Event'...
...that changed the world.
It has been called 'the event' but those effected know it to be more than just one single phenomena caught in a single moment of time.
No one knows exactly how it all first started, or when and why... The incident didn't seem to be contained to just one location either.
The first recoded unexplainable occurrence was on January 21st 2020. A human flying through the air unassisted. It was dismissed as an elaborate Hollywood promo stunt. Next the Internet exploded with things like worlds strongest girl, lifting weights equal to professional male athletes.
These sorts of videos continued for a while, some possibly true, many undoubtedly hoaxes. They ranged from simple magic to dangerous elemental stuff, even reaching into the realms of spooky supernatural.
If it wasn't for the many witness accounts none of it would have held much merit. Soon deaths of young kids followed as they tried to imitate or out do these popular and extreme videos.
Despite the negative publicity some video sharing hosts began making A LOT of money. But regardless, slowly these videos started to dwindle, vanishing from the Internet and the then the craze seemingly died down. All in a matter of months.
Characters...
Live with a man 40 years, share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge, and on that day, you will finally meet the man."
Since you are not held over a volcano (at this point anyway) the character sheets are going to remain pretty simple. Sharing your power is completely optional. (But recommended once it has been openly used.)
Feel free to mix it up.

Locations...
Everything has to happen somewhere.
CAPE NOCTURNE:
Located in the less-desirable part of New York, this wild and ragged night club never truly sleeps offering the amenities of a cafe during the day light hours.
MAIN RD APPARTMENT COMPLEX:
Close to the bustle of the busy city these appartments are mid range with decent amenities and an open accessible rooftop.
