It's the year 2025 and breaktrhoughs in gentic research have allowed for medical advances that could very well reshape the entire world. Speeding up the healing process, broken bodies could be made anew through the ever advancing technologies. This research, however, was copied and sold on the black market to an unknown organization that sought to use these developments to create chaos in the world. It took five years but by 2030 the organization's scientists found a way to give normal humans superpowers and by 2035 they had successfully managed to awaken the powers within a subject without killing them. Using test subjects taken from the streets, the organization bestowed powers upon the poor and homeless to better their lives... Or create hell for everyone else for the hardships they had been put through. Most choosing the latter, crime skyrocketed in the once utopian city of New Gaia, creating chaos and panic among the residents.
During this emergency the American Government authorized the development of the Guardian Initiative. After capturing one of the weaker "gifted" they studied the changes in his genetic makeup before beginning experiments on combat trained volunteers, hoping to recreate the results found in so many criminals running about the city. It wasn't until 2040 that they finally released their own subjects into the city to help combat the threats and clean up New Gaia. Thanks to the Guardians, the city's crime rate fell dramatically, giving it a sense of utopia once again. Unfortunately, like all things, this peace too came to an end. In the year 2049 an unknown enemy began picking off the Guardians. Disappearing for months at a time, Guardians would reappear insane or dead while others were never found at all. Now, just one year later, the governement has authorized the launch of a new Guardian task force: The Guardian Angel Project. Special Guardians, referred to as Angels, have been charged with the protection of the remaining Guardians on their new mission.
You all will be playing the Guardians, genetically engineered to have superpowers in order to return the city of New Gaia back to normal. It's your job to take down those who threaten the city as well as search for clues leading to the mysterious organization (dubbed Organization X). With the help of the Angels (played by me), you will bring peace back to the world.
Because of the amount of interest I am currently limiting characters to one character per person.
The_Full_Spektrom is my Co-GM. You will listen to what they have to say with as much attention as you would give me.
(Pretty simple right?)
Other than that, it's business as usual: No GMing, no PPing, no Mary Sues or Gary Lous. If you have a problem, try to solve it peacefully and respectfully. If you do not feel as if you are capable of this, PM either me or Spektrom. We will try to help you out.
Please stay as active as possible, many RPs die because of inactivity. I don't want to have to set a posting limit, though at least one post every three days would be preferable.
If something IRL comes up, let us know ASAP. It's completely understandable, just don't disappear and leave us wondering. The same also applies to loss of interest.
