Realistic or Modern Heroes of Sylane City: Rise of Chaos

[Spinoceratopsrex]

It should have been another normal day in Sylane city, the bustling city full of people, some of them ordinary, others were gifted, special. They possessed incredible abilities, given to them through a phenomenon known as the auras. These blue lights are now known to come down to earth from a dying star every thousand years or so, but usually in small amounts. The ones that hit earth 20 years ago were much more numerous and potent. While there had, in truth, always been people with these abilities, they had been hidden from the general public, but when these knew auras hit, there were too many to hide, some people went out and tried to make the world a better place,others sought to use them for personal gain. They were nicknamed "Superheroes" and "Supervillains" respectively. The Scientific term for them was "Extraterestrialy genetically enhanced metahumans or "E.G.E.M". Some of their powers made them adored. Or feared and hated. The one calling himself Boomer was one of the latter. He was only thirteen years of age during his reign of destruction. He started small, low on the list of wanted superpowered criminals, but that changed one day. On March 30th, 2016, Boomer committed an atrocity that has gone down in history. One day he came, standing on a floating platform made of pure flames and yelling at the people of Sylane to make a choice, to vote on something. Would he destroy a police station, or a school? They were made to vote using a website that was taken down shortly after the tragedy. While Boomer had promised he would destroy only one, he took both. With a single snap of his fingers he had destroyed the school, engulfing it in a fiery explosion. No one is sure just how many innocent children died, but there were few survivors. That was for certain. The same thing was done to the police station. In that day, widows were made, orphans, all by the hand of one boy. His crimes increased from there. He destroyed hospitals, orphanages, homes. No one even knows why, was he insane, seeking some sort of twisted vengeance, trying to prove something? We never knew. Until finally, government agents were able to apprehend him, it took all their combined powers to stop this monster, but he was contained and apparently executed. Or so we were told. Twenty years from then, on the anniversary of the school's destruction during the news, a newsroom's wall exploded.


"Hello again." Said a man, striding in through the hole with an air of authority and power, heading towards the news anchors. He was wearing an outfit of orange, with an orange half mask and wild, spiky hair.


"Oh, don't tell me you don't recognize me! You should, after all, you were just talking about that lovely school I destroyed. Oh it does bring back memories. Now I know what you're thinking;


"But Boomer, you're dead! It's not possible! Well let me tell you that your government is very good at hiding, and lying and tricking. You want to know why they didn't kill me? Why I was just locked up like all the other baddies? Well I'll just leave you guessing! Haha! I might still be in there, if not for my friend. Oh yes my friend. Now they are good. Letting me and all the others you had locked up out. A strange one, made no sound, killed the guards, activated emergency release, wore a cloak and had a very nice scythe. And what they said was, go back to doing what you were doing 20 years ago. So I said sure! Why not? It's not like I've gotten out much, Maybe I can destroy another school..And I start... Now!"


Boomer turned a hand to one of the cameramen and fired a jet of intense flame from it. The man fell, screaming in agony until he suddenly went limp.


"Oh yes, that was a brutal death, but hey, look on the bright side, he was cremated for free!" He laughed maniacally before grinning and turning to the camera.


"Now, for the reason I'm here. Well, previously, when I was just a young child I worked all on my own, if I hadn't. Maybe I wouldn't have been caught. So!" Shouted Boomer, pointing to the camera. "I know there are more out there like me, who want to leave a mark on society. We will destroy, we will rob, steal, kill, and many other delightful things! Join me, and you can become an agent of chaos! That's my group name, catchy isn't it?" Boomer paused for effect.


"Now to join us, well, make some noise tonight. I'll be around, if I see it, and I like it, well, then you're in! Don't worry, I'll find you. Now, let's end my little monologue with... a bang!


Boomer manifested a board of solid flames beneath his feet, he willed it to rise up and he flew out of the hole he made. The last thing the camera recorded was a flash of light and heat that destroyed the building and the lives of those inside.


And all this was broadcast live to the people of Sylane city.


The heroes and the villains alike are preparing for the night, one thing is for sure, Sylane won't be sleeping easy tonight.

In case you haven't guessed already, this will be a superhero RP. You will be able to play as a hero working for the government, a villain looking to join The Agents of Chaos, or simply a character affiliated with a different group, or none at all. The plot will revolve around Boomer committing his various crimes, and finding out a few secrets along the way


Why wasn't Boomer executed?


Who is his mysterious friend?


What is his real motive, if any at all?


What other secrets could the government be keeping from the public and the heroes working for it?


I do hope I have piqued your interest, and hope to see you soon!

I'm not going to be making a list of rules, because I'm sure you're all smart enough not to make OP characters, snowflakes, do metagaming, godmodding, etc, however if I feel it at some point to be necessary, I will do a list of rules.
