World Stuff-More Info for players
These are all ideas I am trying tp bring together... but here is the stuff I have, so far, for a game I intend to run this weekend. Inspired by Aberrant, but with my own touches once I get around to mapping everything out.
The Legacy
The world of the Legacy Universe is one going through sever changes, as the world adapts to the appearance of super-human beings with powers beyond the ken of normal mortals. World Governments have banned together to assess the threat that the Elites pose to normal humanity, or "baselines" as most people refer to non-powered humans.
Elites have been in existence since 2004, after the arrival of Ghenther's Comet, an unknown comet that passed through Earth space in the summer of 2004. The first documented elite was Michael McCoy, also known as Miracle, an elite capable of controlling the primal forces of the world to great effect. He was able to manipulate the Earth to create a barrier and shield himself from an out of control semi-truck. Since his appearance, elites have appeared consistently over the intervening ten years.
One of the best-known elites is the international hero, Paragon, an advocate for peaceful integration of elites and baselines. He is one of the most powerful elites on the planet and the team leader of Justice Elite, an international team of elites who work in conjunction with the newly strengthened United Nations to protect baselines from elite threats. They do double duty as spokesman and work on several humanitarian efforts throughout the world, such as the terraforming of the Sahara, and furthering study into the elimination of disease and cancer.
In general elites tend to be viewed with awe by most folks of the world, powerful beings who are capable of either great good, or even greater evil in the eyes of most baselines. They often make headlines, and live public lives if they do not maintain a secret identity.
Justice Elite- The Premier Elite Team
Paragon (PL 16): Paragon is perhaps one of the most powerful elites on the planet, perhaps only because he is one of the earliest of the elites to come onto the scene. He is a household name, and is an advocate for elites to live peaceably with baselines, and works tirelessly to defend those that can’t defend themselves. But this is his exterior, he is very much into saving people, but he is a terribly vain hero, who expects to be listened to, and believes he is the authority on how Justice Elite should work. He is the team leader for Justice Elite, and is a virtual icon synonymous with the team. Despite his arrogance and pride, he does do good work for the people, and hopes to do so for some time to come.
Vanessa “Redline” Wilson (PL 12): Vanessa, better known as Redline, is the resident speedster of Justice Elite, she is also the youngest member, and has a bad girl attitude which has made her instantly popular with both young men, and young women. She is a fashion conscious woman, and loves to be seen, and enjoys the attention she gets for being apart of Justice Elite. When not out doing work for Justice Elite, she is typically doing modeling shoots, and promoting her clothing line, Redline Threads. She is a speed freak and owns several expensive fast cars. She is flighty in attitude and changes her men just as fast as she runs. She looks up to Paragon, and sees him as an excellent team leader, despite not being able to work her charms on him. Redline is inhumanly fast, she has been clocked at breaking the sound barrier with ease, and is even able to vibrate her body so quickly that she can slide through solid structures.
Suzuki “Kensei” Kanaka (PL 14): Hailing from the still recovering Japan islands, Kanaka is an old standby of Justice Elite. He is called the sword-saint by his people, because of his ability to generate an energy blade by sheer force of will, as a matter of fact, Kanaka has excellent mastery of light energy, and can immolate his form in a licking glowing light which causes damage to any that touch him. This energy is barely contained in his frame and energy occasionally arcs across his body in strands, growing in intensity when he is angered. Kanaka is a focused man in his late twenties, and a kenjutsu master, and an excellent swordsman. He and Paragon though have their differences, he sees Paragon as a vain, and arrogant bastard who cares more for his image then the team. While Paragon views Kanaka as a hothead who is always riding the fence of reliability. After the Tokyo Quake of 2012, Kanaka lost his wife and child to the damage and the fallout of the natural disaster. His performance has suffered slightly, but in the end, he has become more focused to the mission at hand, and has taken Redline under his wing, seeing potential in the young girl.
Doctor Petrova Stockov (PL 14): Eschewing tradition, Dr. Stockov has no codename, and perhaps one of the most brilliant minds on the planet. Outside of her incredible genius, she has patented nearly 300 unique devices since her latent elite powers manifested. She is a master gadgeteer, and a very capable scientist. She is responsible for the hardsuit technology used by the United Nations Defense Force, which far outclassed the United States designed, powered suit concept. Dr. Stockov is a visionary, and tends to be one of the most aloof of Justice Elite, but is often present on many of the Science Boards held by the UN Scientific Advancement Council (UNSAC), as they determine technology that will improve the general standard of living, and eliminating any technology that may be deemed as harmful or unethical.
Magdalena “Oracle” Olivera (PL 13): Where Redline is the bad girl of the team, Magdalena, Oracle to her fans, is the elegant Latin beauty, with the captivating eyes, and a force of will that makes men and women melt in her hands. She is a powerful psychic force, and is capable of great telekinetic abilities. Magdalena was a supermodel before her latent powers manifested, and she was already a celebrity before she joined Justice Elite. Now she works to further her popularity, and also spends time doing humanitarian work in her native Brazil, where she is a national hero. Oracle is genteel, and sophisticated, and her manner is disarming, and charming. She is the second in command of Justice Elite, by sheer force of personality.
Atlas (PL 13): The massively strong elite named Atlas is a living mass of stone, given form and function. He stands at about thirteen feet in height, and gifted with incredible superhuman strength. Not much is known about Atlas’ past, but he is a favorite among the fans of Justice Elite. The tough non-nonsense elite is a powerhouse capable of dishing out and sustaining incredible levels of punishment. Atlas is a long time fixture of the team, and also recently the star of a highly successful action film based on his exploits, where he starred himself. Despite his popularity, his alien appearance, does keep him distanced from baselines, and more and more he finds more and more in common with some of the beliefs of Pantheon, though he won’t admit this to himself. For now he is loyal to the cause, for now at least.
