What if it was the Supervillains who came first? What if the first superhero didn't start his/her career before the world was already overrun by Supervillains? What then? How could a rookie superhero possibly hope to prevail in a world such as that? This is the superhero story told backwards. It’s a story which takes place in a world overrun by Supervillains. Criminal activity is abundant and it’s up to you to find a way to put an end to the chaos.


Welcome to New Dawn City! Home to The Rift and the world’s highest population of Supers. Once a prosperous city standing for all which was free and just, in the Confederate States of America, this city has since gone to rot along with the rest of the world. Since the death of Captain Matter, the world’s first hero, there hasn’t been much hope to go around. However not all is lost, for Captain Matter’s example has acted as inspiration for ones who shall give the world a new tomorrow. It is up to you to save us. It is up to you to give us a new dawn.
The Rules:

1. Follow the standard Casual Roleplaying rules for this site.

2. No Metagaming. The Watcher is one of the few exceptions to this rule. He knows almost everything that is going on.

3. No Powerplaying.

4. No Autohitting, However nobody is invincible. Expect to have your character get knocked around from time to time. Remember, everyone wants to be a bit of a badass.

5. Romance is allowed.

6. If you hold up a character for more than a week, permission is given to control that player’s character only long enough to get them out of the way. Depending on the situation I may shorten the amount of time for this rule.

7. No Magic! All powers must stem from The Rift formed 15 years ago

8. Characters must have one definitive power unless I agree to allow your character a secondary supporting power.

9. PM me new characters before you post them.

10. To be allowed to play PM me the name belonging to the one who spoke from the shadows during the prologue.
About This World





City’s Division of Power

The Mafia

New Dawn’s Mafia is currently run by a man who goes by the name Mauriello; a man who rose into power shortly after the opening of The Rift. Since then, the Mafia has done pretty well for itself considering no one has the guts to go against all Supers which the mafia employs. They commit typical mafia crimes such as giving “protection” to those who pay a fee, controlling drugs and prostitution, and bribing cops to overlook criminal acts. Although the mafia’s activities occur all over the city, it is widely known that their base operation is in Farriston.

The head of the Mafia, in New Dawn City, likes to play things safe. He's doesn't attack or kill recklessly, and he prefers to avoid making enemies with potential threats. It was a shock when he killed Captain Matter considering Captain Matter’s heroic efforts had been mostly focused on taking out The Cult. However such acts, from the mafia, are not unheard of. Lately, He has been trying to use the Mafia to put an end to Arthur Bisk. He sees Arthur Bisk as a huge threat and fears what he is capable of.

Basic Mafia Hierarchy






The Cult

The Cult was formed by a man, known as The Patriarch, soon after the creation of The Rift. The Cult preaches a religion called Rebirthism. They claim The Rift is the gateway to the spirit world and God himself, and that those with powers are God’s children. The Cult gives protection to its followers who bring weekly gifts to The Patriarch.

The Cult’s territory resides predominately in Oldtown. Once a week a ritual, The Rebirth, is performed around the old Sky Labs facility, which is home to The Rift. There, randomly selected worshippers are given a chance become closer with God. Those selected enter the facility are never seen again. Higher ranked Cult members, who are involved in the ritual, claim the chosen followers given a new life and transformed into angels. It is said these angels protect The Cult’s members from non-believers. Ever since these rituals have begun, there have been numerous reports of “monster” sightings in Oldtown.

The Businessman

Out of all of New Dawn’s factions, Arthur Bisk, referred by some as The Businessman, is the most legit in the eyes of the government. Nobody knows where his money came from, but it is known that he obtained it soon after the creation of The Rift. Since then, The Businessman has bought all of Newtown and has set up his own cooperation called Bisk Tech, which is the only company to manufacture Anti-Super Tech.

Currently conducting a campaign to be mayor, Bisk promotes himself to the public as being highly Anti-Super. Since his rise to power, he has created Newtown’s Anti-Super Police and has constructed an Anti-Super jail, where experiments are performed on the prisoners. With his Anti-Super Police, Bisk has managed to imprison nearly all of the criminal Supers that reside in Newtown. He has even secretly pushed into action a plan which will imprison all Supers whether they are criminals or not. As such, Newtown is practically clean of Supers and Farriston is beginning to get hit hard. Oldtown, however, has remained relatively untouched due to the The Cult’s influence on the people.

She's being treated in building C because of the glass shard that shattered in her left hand. They are plucking out the shards of glass and bandaging it up.
