A world of wizards and wonders exists just beyond the earth's thin atmosphere! One day it comes crashing down semi-dramatically upon a small, Wisconsin township to reak at least 40$ of labor-lost damage on a 7-eleven that had no power for two hours due to what felt like a small explosion. Tommis, the cashier, insisted it was just their shift manager falling off his desk chair during his usual 9 pm nap but, Olivia, the older woman who shows up to stock some evenings swears "-on my grammy's grave-" that she felt something was 'fishy' about that noise. What fishes and noises had to do with each other was beyond Tommis. He didn't press the issue further.
Little did either of them know how correct Olivia was, how truly and terribly correct... What arose from a crater near that dimly lit rest-stop took little time to hold it's habits at bay. Headlines would resemble a singular statement the following morning, "Twilight Zone: Galesburg? Salt-Water Tidal Wave Briefly Floods Power Station!" For a land-locked township, this was certainly anything but your average occurrence.

Four people of 1990's Earth in a superstitious, land-locked American township are exposed to a world beyond their imagining after an invader proclaims their home to be his "First site of conquest!". Whether being conquered has anything to do with them may be what saves Earth, or, perhaps destroys it!
I've been developing an intergalactic-wizard-universe for a while and want to drag a few people along who feel like watching their character go from everyday life to struggling for survival atop a crumbling Earth. Things will escalate from a slice-of-life point to become something rather drastic depending on everyone's actions. This is more about what your characters do than whatever story I have laid out. Just know that things are gonna be messy, people are going to make stupid decisions, Npc's are gonna be temperamental, there'll be history everywhere for better or worse, and the most dangerous things may not be the most obvious. Make a post here if you're interested. If you have a good modern-day character to post as a CS than I'd be happy to look at it and discuss! I'm pretty flexible.
I'm gonna try to do 3+ posts a day as my responses to your character's actions will be what drives the story for the initial portions of its progression until ya'll get a feel for things. My response posts will be simplistic and my character posts will be thicc with juicy deets.
I left most of this obscure as I'll be working the story out with the players and I also want most things to be discovered by you and your character('s) at the same time. Regardless, I can give you any information that will make you feel comfortable :D
