@fdeviant: First, I would like to address reading through the IC. Since this is an original character superhero RPG, it does not matter as much when someone drops out, unlike in this RP's sister games based on Marvel and DC comics. Therefore, there will be multiple posts that really don't matter. Below are the authors whom you should be reading. I will let @nitemare shape comment on this list.
The GM and AGMs: Nitemare Shape, Hound55, and I (Dedonus)
The current active players: Kalistar, Raptorman, NeutralNexus, VATROU, Athinar, FacePunch, Fallenreaper, Tearstone, Byrd Man, Gowi (semi-active)
Inactive players with important characters: Marra Mistborn, The Fair Lady, Chrononaut (D-Day), Proton Problem.
There is one character (EnterTheHero's Icarus) who is kind of tricky to place in this system. He has interacted with Archangel (Marra Mistbron's character) and Fallenreaper and Tearstone's characters, but he has also interacted with characters belonging to Marik and Robeatics, whose characters did not really interact with anyone else. So you might just want to skim his posts (or just the character sheet) so that you know what is going on.
Everyone else (as far as I am aware of) can be ignored.
If I left someone out, I'm sorry!
And here is the summary of all the important events in the roleplay (of course other characters have had important arcs, but these have wider influence on the game).
Important Events:
-Extreme Makeover of Little Ulster (completed): This happened a while back. Basically, Mercy eliminated all the "filth" in Little Ulster and made it a nice place. However, that does not mean that criminals are not seeking out to 'reclaim' their old turf.
-Demon Invasion of Lost Haven (foiled): Some crazies opened a portal to a different dimension and unleashed "demons" upon the city. Several heroes, including Icon, Lyger, War-Pulse, Iron Knight, Archangel, and Vigilante (Arachne was helping with the invasion, but wasn't there when the heroes closed the portal) successfully closed the portal and saved the city from demonic conquest. This day is now referred to as "D-Day".
-Reign of Nightmare (put-on hold - mattering on Raptorman's plans): A metahuman called Nightmare is terrorizing Lost Haven, committing mass murders. Allied with Soulfire and the Skeleton King, he has taken on STRIKE (CaH RPG's version of SHIELD), including Iron Knight and Archangel (both working with STRIKE but not agents of that organization, the latter is currently inactive) and Icon (our Superman/Captain Marvel). The heroes have believed that Nightmare has gone into hiding, but (as the IC recently revealed) he and his allies are still alive and well.
-The Cowl's Gambit (completed): The Cowl (think the Kingpin of Crime, but not as fat/muscular) has returned to Lost Haven to solidify his claims and protect them from the rising superhuman activity. Recently, he has caused chaos in the city with mass looting and rioting to distract everyone from his real goal, the largest smuggling shipment ever in history. While the heroes were able to combat the crime wave, they had no idea of the Cowl's real plan (i.e. the smuggling shipment).
-Ares' Dominion (foiled): Ares, the Greek god of War, has set up a shrine in Lost Haven to attract follows, much to the chagrin of the other Olympian Gods. Athena has sent Arachne to confront Ares and his human ally, Polemos (war). Polemos seemed to have an upper hand (quite an understatement) over Arachne, but Icon intervened. Arachne was able to trick Polemos into thinking that she was poisonous (even though she isn't) and Ares was defeated by the combined power of Icon and Athena. It was revealed that this Ares was actually a shape-shifter posing for the god.
-Umbraxis, the Consumer of Worlds (current event): Umbraxis, a cosmic entity, has arrived at Earth's doorstep. Interested with the planet, it sent its "avatar" form down to the planet, where it absorbed into itself a bunch of college students and massacred a police station and a church. While it took some sacrifices, Icon, Thunderbolt, Boom, and a few other metahumans banded together and defeated Umbraxis' "avatar" form. Although it was sent back, licking its own wounds, Umbraxis was not yet defeated and is now binding its time.
-Pax Metahumana(current event): A scientist, who has invented a serum that can imbue metahuman powers onto regular people, declared to the world that in 48 hours, a device hidden in Lost Haven will create a sort of energy dome that will progressively transform the population of the world into metahumans. He claims that, due to recent events (many listed above), humanity needs to 'evolve' in order to survive and his plan would do just that. Iron Knight called together a few of the heroes who united together to stop the Demon Invasion (Icon, Lyger, Radiance), along with two newcomers (Thunderbolt and Boom). So far, their current plan is to find several metahumans who have already dealt with either this scientists or his underlings (Arachne, Raptor, War-Pulse), while S.T.R.I.K.E. scrambles around to discover where the device has been hidden.
