Codename: Prometheus
An Earth much like our own, but very different at the same time. One where the cold war turned hot and devastated many nations in the following battles but an uneasy peace eventually emerged. A world where ancient civilizations escaped their fate of decay and thrived in the modern era. Where magic and gods compete with the advances of science in both military prowess and everyday life. A world where metahumans and super soldiers have forever changed the face of war, and robotics continue to change it even more. There are many problems in the world, so many that most don't notice the bigger problems beneath the surface, things that threaten to destroy all that makes the world worth fighting over. Since most couldn't be bothered with it, a group emerged to face down such threats by whatever means necessary, to protect humanity and the earth at any cost.
There aren't many things the world could agree on after the war ended but one was that they couldn't allow the new threat to blind them to all others, to let their world fall because they were too busy planning to protect it. The idea of agency to deal with such things was tossed around for a decade with no major headway, it was only after evidence of the alien presence on earth was found that the plan was agreed on. Named after the titan of old, Prometheus is an agency created to be loyal to no nation and instead to the planet as a whole. Given resources from every major nation on the planet they are tasked with discovering and destroying all threats to humanity/Earth as well as damage all operations on the planet by hostile aliens. In pursuit of the mission they are immune to any and all laws, as long as their actions can be justified by the guidelines of their mission. They use outlawed procedures to boost human capability, use metahuman children as essentially child soldiers, and pardon terrible criminals if they have the right skill set. Their public face is that of heroic superheroes but at the end of the day the agency can and does get its hands dirty.
Outside of the leadership, most important are the members of one of the superhuman strike forces put together by Prometheus, tasked with quickly neutralizing the big threats, as well as aiding the agency's private military in combat zones. How they join is different for each member, with some being freed from prison in exchange from service, some simply accepting a formal invitation, to some even being created by Prometheus itself. Regardless of their reasons these members are part superhero and part soldier, with countless time and resources pumped into each and every one of them to keep them improving as well as to try to bring in or create more.
This is a super power based roleplay in an alternate Earth, one where world war 3 happened in the 80s and stopped at the discovery of seemingly hostile aliens. In the time since then the U.S. and the Soviet Union have been in an uneasy peace as they both prepare to repel an inevitable invasion. The world is similar to DC and marvel in that characters of magic origin like Zatanna and Thor exist alongside Iron Man type characters. The plot will be we play members of a multinational agency tasked with taking care of any alien presence currently on earth, the growing number of metahuman terror cells, agents of old gods, and other threats to humanity while the bulk of the worlds governments work on dealing with the future invasion. The roleplay will be a mix of military style missions and them responding to events either in the world or wherever they happen to be at (more traditional giant robot or monster attack etc)
