Premise:
Welcome to The City, a crime-ridden metropolis filled with danger, intrigue, and mist.
You used to be an average Joe, going about your life, doing whatever it was that you did, until something changed. Maybe it was over a period of a few years, something happened a month ago, or it came to you suddenly, but your body is now no longer just your own. The Mist stripped away enough that something; a person, an object, or even a place, decided to make you its vessel. These things come from everywhere, from Joan of Arc to Darth Vader to Zeus, it now lives within you. For now, this power is in the back seat, letting you run the show, but it is still there. For every blast of flames, for every time turning invisible, it is there, trying to use you to further its own goals.
There are three main classes of people within The City: Sleepers, people who have no powers and no knowledge of them; Avatars, the living embodiment of their power, stripped of humanity and living based on the whims of their powers; and you, a Rift, a regular human with the powers of a legendary being. Every Rift has four parts to them, a minimum of one Logos, what made them a person, and one Mythos, the power that existed within.
The Touched are usually recently turned, with three main parts to their humanity and one incredible power. They have to struggle with their power lest they forget and become a Sleeper once again.
A Borderline is the equilibrium between the supernatural and the natural, half of their being devoted to their Mythos, the other to their Logos. They have to deal with balancing both lives they live.
Finally, a Legendary, holding onto the lest vestiges of their humanity, they are one step away from losing it all. Near god-like power with 3 Mythos, but held onto their humanity by their final Logos, one misstep away from their former life, and they will no longer be who they once were.
