WELCOME TO CATACLYSM CITY
This is a Mutants & Masterminds game using the 3rd edition rules.
Based on this "interest" thread, I am starting this OOC thread for character creation and for all out-of-character discussions for the game.
THE SETTING
Cataclysm City is not the original name of this city, but a name it has come to earn due to the many recent damage laid upon the city through a series of recent super-powered battles. Cataclysm City is one of several cities throughout the world that have seen a population spike in super-powered beings. Together with Chicago and Los Angeles in the United States, London in the UK, Cairo in Egypt, Hong Kong and Shanghai in China, Tokyo in Japan, and a few others, Cataclysm City has, within the past year, seen the "birth" of many super-powered entities.
Structurally, the world is much the same as the one we know. Of course, with the rise of super-powered beings, the world has changed. Organizations dedicated to the regulation or training of super-powered beings have risen to prominence, as well as many groups for or against the presence of super-powered beings in the world.
The appearance of super-powered beings in the world strangely coincided with the arrival of aliens from outer space. The people of Earth were obviously taken by surprise by these events and it took more than a year for people to start to come to grips with the changes to their world.
The aliens have taken a back seat to the stories about super-powered beings. In fact, aside from a few representatives the aliens left behind, they have left, supposedly returning to their home star system.
We will continue exploring the setting as we craft characters and run the game.
Feel free to ask questions about the setting.
CHARACTER CREATION
We will being character creation with PL5 characters. That means that you have 75pp to spend. These will be your characters as they stand prior to gaining powers / special equipment / etc. You can, if you choose, suggest or plan out what powers you want for later. You will eventually have super powers, but we will go through the process of how you gained those powers in the story.
EDIT: You can choose to spend LESS than the 75pp on your starting character. I'd like a minimum of 30pp, though.
