[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4516069, member: 2012"] [B]UPDATE:[/B] I've changed the settings default ruleset to the FATE Core System. Options will likely designed for M&M 3E and Alternity and maybe Savage Worlds, but FATE Core will remain the standard. [B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B]_[/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B] I've had Mutants & Masterminds for a while now but I've yet to delve deeply into the main book. I keep putting it off in order to read other things. Therefore, this thread will hopefully be for the Guardian Chronicles what my Lands of Harqual thread has been for Kulan. Anyway, the overall plot of the Guardian Chronicles is that there is a unnatural threat invading our universe, which is called [B]The Darkness[/B]. No other name truly fits what this dark, evil threat is as it is an unknown alien presence from another dimension and/or universe. The main opponent of this evil are the [B]Guardians of Creation[/B]. This mantle of hope and freedom is passed from species to species as the universe ages. The previous Guardians, a dying race only known as the [B]Predecessors[/B], is forced to pass the [B]Energy[/B] to humanity instead of the race they had originally chosen. (Either that race was destroyed before the Predecessors could get the Energy to them or the Predecessors are forced to pass the Energy on to humanity because the agents of The Darkness come too close to catching them. I haven't decided yet.) The Energy is transfered to humanity through psychic power and elemental forces. However, it fails to spread evenly amongst the people of our world. Instead it concentrates in one region of the world, the border between Canada and the United States. The date of impact isn't exactly known but it takes place during the time of the Old West. Those near the epicenter of the Energy transfer are either killed outright or changed in some fundamental way. Most are driven mad but some gain enhancements to their intelligence or strength. The deaths are blamed on a plague. No one truly understand what happened. [B]The Immortal Gunman[/B] The first chronicle deals with the effect of how the Energy initially affects out world. Those that gain an ability only gain one or two powers and nothing truly extraordinary. There are exceptions, however. Legends grow of outlaw that is nearly impossible to kill. If he is shot down one week, he appears again alive and well the next week. He is said to ride with several outlaw bands including the famous gang of Jesse James. Other legends say he in the man who really shot Billy the Kid. Others claim that he was both those men, somehow. He is the Immortal Gunman. Other notable outlaws and lawmen with amazing abilities exist as well but none of them seem able to come back to life. Other men and women become gifted scientists way ahead of their time. As well, strange unnatural forces spread across the Old West all the way to Mexico in the south and Alaska and the Yukon to the north. Rumors of monsters and worse spread like wildfire but most scoff at such notions. The truth of what is really happening is unknown as the Energy slowly spreads across North America. Then the legends of the Immortal Gunman begin to fade to memory and most believe he was only ever a legend. The pace of the world goes back to normal. The legends of the Old West are left behind as a new age dawns. [/QUOTE]
