[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 7815579, member: 2795"] [B]Tuesday, October 23, 1962[/B] Day two of the U.S. naval blockade standing in the way of further Soviet missiles arriving in Cuba. Does the world teeter on the brink of nuclear war? Maybe yes. Maybe no. New Falls, Washington, seems millions of miles away from the crisis brewing in the Caribbean. Indeed, New Falls seems a long way from just about everywhere. It's more than 160 miles through winding roads amid river valleys and forests to the nearest town. New Falls is isolated, traditional, patriotic: home to less than 1,200 heads of household, most of whom work directly or indirectly for Titan Defense (TD), a major research and development corporation. In New Falls, life goes on much as it has done since the end of WWII, when TD bought the valley and surrounding lands from the state and federal governments on which the thriving community now exists. People go to work, to school, to the cinema, to the diner, to the church or the synagogue. And, meanwhile, New Falls High School gears up for the big Halloween Dance. [B]Your Characters...[/B] ...are seniors at New Falls High School. You might be looking forward to the big dance. You might be looking forward to graduation and what follows. You might have dreams big or small. Who knows? Maybe you'll finally get to spend more than a week with your family away from New Falls. There's a great, big world out there, and you've seen very little of it except on TV or in a movie. [B]Starting the Game[/B] At the beginning of the game, your character is just a high school student. If we had to assign a Power Level, your character would be PL 1. Your character has no superpowers, no uncanny aptitude for science or magic or psionics or anything like that. [B]About the Heroes[/B] While your character isn't a hero to start with, he or she won't stay that way. All of the characters will share a common origin story. As a result of that origin story, the characters become the heroes, finding themselves in a world much more dangerous and mad and astonishing than even the wildest day ever in New Falls. Once your characters undergo their transformations, they become PL 5 supers. Don't worry about creating a PL 5 hero just yet. [B]Hero Advancement[/B] Your heroes will improve quickly. Power Point awards will start out of 5 PP per milestone with the series PL increasing every 15 or so earned PP. [B]What Next?[/B] If you're interested, please let me know and post a Before/After summary. Who is your character before The Change? Who is your character after The Change? While considering these two questions, think Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko in the 60s and 70s. [/QUOTE]
