It's the perfect time to join "Loa Blood", a serious, dramatic super-hero story. Players' have had a really great time with this one, we've got a cool story gong, and new players are always welcome.

_________________________________
It's an analagous, contemporary world. So there's police, pop-stars, slurpees, a violent history of racism and oppression, all the good stuff you know from our world, except the shapes of the continents is different, and the names of the countries, races, religions, etc. are all changed.
30 years ago, scientists discovered the bodies of giant (Godzilla-sized) aliens (Loa) buried under the antarctic ice. According to what's been deciphered of the aliens' records, they created the Earth, seeded it with life, and then left, leaving a dozen of their dead and a few impossibly huge buildings in the antarctic.
Religious people, particularly followers of the Wheel, are upset with the revelation that their version of history and creation has been proven false. Many of the new generation worship the Loa as gods.
Science has taken a great leap forward, as researchers studying the Loa Blood extracted from the alien site have discovered miracle medicines, non-polluting fuels, and other good things.
The catch is that anyone physically exposed to the Blood mutates. Usually they die. Sometimes they live, but are changed forever (like the guy with toasters for hands). Very rarely, they are Gifted with powerful superhuman abilities drawn from their own subconscious.
Several years ago, the nation of Locrir fell under control of a warmongering dictator.
Last year, a research station on Dracon Island exploded, exposing everyone on the island to the Blood, killing most of them. Many refugees were evacuated to nearby Bay City, and the island has been sealed off, left to the mutated monsters too insane and dangerous to evacuate.
Most of the action so far has taken place in Bay City, in the wealthy nation of Argo. Several Gifted have been hired as a special security force by the Coda Corporation, a scientific company doing Loa Blood research under the watchful eye of GAIA (Global Administrative Intelligence Authority). GAIA works for world peace and prosperity, but has little real power, and has been unable to stop the Locrian military from expanding across the continent.
A few months ago, the Killer Bee high-tech motorcycle gang stole a fortune in Loa Blood from Coda, sparking a violent gang war with the Cold Blood Ninja. Both gangs seek to control the black market sale of Loa Blood, which is sold on the street as single cells of the bodies of the gods.
Recently, Bay City was leveled in a super-battle between the murderous Crusher and the Coda "super-hero" Monolith. The Crusher was imprisoned on Dracon Island, and all the monsters on the island were sealed under a GAIA prototype force-field.
Now refugees from Dracon and the ruined Bay City, flock to Bridges, city of lights, casinos, and sin.
__________________________________________
Characters can be Gifted (people with superpowers), but shouldn't be too powerful. Think Daredevil power level. Most of them will be Dracon Island refugees.
Remember, lots of mutations are pretty useless. I'd love to see a character with a stupid toaster-hands or telepathy-with-fish kind of power, if you're prepared to deal with it in a serious way.
High-tech types are also okay, including robots, cyborgs, gadgeteers, etc.
Normal human characters are totally encouraged. Anything, rock stars, politicians, cops, street kids, gangsters, reporters, doctors, scientists, taxi drivers, athletes, priests, old ladies, whatever.
I can't stress enough that while this is a super-hero story, starting characters are not super-heroes yet. You're just a person who may have recently aquired super-powers, but you shouldn't have any kind of reputation yet. And so far there's very few code-names and no capes.
So PM me or post your character idea. Please don't post on the main thread until your character has been approved.
