Heroes By Night

★☆★New King City★☆★
You've heard of it, right? New King City, the grand new jewel of America's cities with a population of over nine million living within the city limits alone and more ships passing through it's harbor every morning than most other places. It's a shining metropolis of progress, that is if you watch the news at all. But trust me, this place has got it's fair share of troubles with one of the highest crime rates in the world all thanks to some criminal organization known as the Syndicate and their freaks that are trying to bleed this city dry, my city. Thanks to them, lots of the criminals of this place actually are working together with one another, and those that are going solo, well the cops are too busy dealing with the rest of them to really worry about the common criminal. They've even got all this revolutionary tech at their disposal and a whole agency devoted to taking down the big guys. They have the most advanced armory in the world, yet they can't do a thing against the rats nest that is the syndicate and their goons. There's just so many of them out there that no force around can really get to them, and no matter the size of the bust they pull they're always still another layer deeper. Cops would make you think they've got things under control, I'm telling you they're out of their depths. All this stuff, it going on beneath the surface of the city, your average folk don't think of this any differently than they think of the daily weather, people don't worry about this, and that's why I'm telling you. People like us, we've got to do something about this. We're not powerless to help here, whether you like that or not doesn't really matter to me, what's important is what you do with this power. Will you help people, even if they might see us no differently than the monsters we're trying to fight?
For as long as we can remember there have been people with abilities, whether they're natural gifts or the result of something unnatural. These people are what we like to call the Mutant class of people. These guys are the lucky ones as far as anyone else is concerned, even if people seem to like them a little less than us. For years these people have been either hiding their abilities or putting them to use. And yes, I mean like people from those comic books people are so fond of, but heads up, in real life it sometimes doesn't work as well. While a lot of these people are bad there are still some good ones who have won their way to the top for being notorious do-gooders and a friend of the people. This would be like your superman or captain America type. We like to call them the Big Shots, those guys that handle the big stuff and help out the police. Yeah their Famous, and New King City's got its own Star themed caped crusader that watches out for it known as The Millennium Star. They're the biggest Big Shot of them all. OF course you've also got the bad version of Big Shots, and to be honest we're not fancy here, we just call them Super Villains, plain and simple.
For a long time it was just those mutants and other inspired humans that we're the ones with super human abilities, and that was fairly normal, but about a year ago there was... An incident. One of those big bads, or the Syndicate, nobody really knows made a chemical bomb, one that was rumored to be worse than any other bomb in existence, capable of wiping out the entire country, or even the world if detonated. And the worst thing was, they were going to use it on the good old USA. Lucky for us the biggest big shots of them all teamed up to put a stop to it, a couple of them even died in the process, but the bomb was still set off. High up in the orbit thanks to our own Millennium Star, and it only destroyed a chunk of the moon that we can still see to this day. But that wasn't the worst of it. Fallout from the explosion drifted down on the earth, Killing about 2% of the earth's population with the chemical's side effects, but another 3% were changed forever. These people soaked up the chemicals from the haze that settled onto the earth, transforming them into something not quite human. They became like Mutants, with special powers unique to them from telepathy to being able to turn into slime, Fire powers to ice powers, useless to game changing, these people were changing, and within a week some people didn't even think of them as humans again. Most were more subtle, hide able, able to keep a low profile and still pass as a human, while some on the other hand were far more... noticeable. That's us though. The Changed as some like to call us. Others call us Inhuman, others still just call us Freaks.
About
If you've read everything then you've got a pretty good Idea about what's going on and this version of the earth we inhabit. This is of course a work of fiction in which superheroes and other such things are real, and about a year ago the population changed and a super powered group rose. These people appeared all over the world, not just in New King City, meaning your character could have been anywhere a year ago when it happened, but the important thing is they're in New King City now. And yes, it's just a bigger New York, but those are just semantics. What matters is that New King City is it's own city with its own problems. You can make any type of person you want, whether they're changed, a Mutant, or a normal human being. The only rule about it is you can only make ONE big shot, and the RP isn't going to be centered around those.Other rules, and that one will be listed down bellow. You can be good, or bad in this so long as you aren't breaking any rules. And the only other thing I'll say here, is I hope you'll enjoy this with me, I've been on a major superhero kick recently.
✦ All FF rules apply
✦ Fade in and out when you need to.
✦ Cussing and violence is welcome- but please don't go overboard. Ask me if you're unsure.
✦ Only one Big Shot Per person (I can break this rule)
✦ Be respectful of others in ooc. Drama in character is perfectly accepted and encouraged, but we don't need it in our ooc
✦ No perfect characters, and no god-modding.
✦ GET CREATIVE! This is a sandbox world, ready and able to bend at the will of your characters! There are very few things that can't be done! Feel free to make your own plots as well!
✦ HAVE FUN!
