This superhero comic book type universe mostly draws inspirations from the Invincible comics in terms of its colorful and preppy aesthetic, but deviates out of common superhero themes in that the enhanced individuals of this earth have manifested as a result of a technological revolution known as the Quantum Break, which means there is no magic or aliens, just soft sci-fi technology that fed a culture of tightly costumed heroes and villains.
The progenitors of the Quantum Break are of a multinational organization known as the Interama Corporation, a global aerospace, defense, security and advanced technologies company with worldwide interests, specializing in quantum technology. The company used to provide weapons, munitions, technology and vehicles to various military groups around the world, such as the Gendarmerie, the Balkan Battlegroup, the PLA, and the US Army. Once the presence of their quantum technology took its place in commercial markets, other companies around the world had began to theorize and develop new technologies that once were thought to be impossible, such as teleportation devices, nanotechnology in the field of medicine, and unfortunately, new devastating weapons of war.
The Authoritarium is a theocratic terrorist organization of faithful scientists who believe that a higher power they refer to as the "Authority" is manifested in the form of technological advancements - and that governments have dampened its influence, therefore dedicating their resources to acquire and develop power through technological means in order to overthrow the governments of the world. They have been supplying arms and technology to subversive organizations in order to foster a violent technological revolution of society, orchestrating the creation of the nano-enhanced super soldiers, the cybernetic enhancements of various organized crime families, and the creation of special high-tech weapons that spilled into the black market. Soon, "Villains" became a widespread threat all around the world to a point that law enforcement organizations could not properly respond to it, prompting the rise of vigilantism, costumed heroes that soon revolutionized the global culture of response to villainy.
The Global Defense Agency, or GDA, are an international organization created to respond to planet threatening events, and during the rise of vigilantism all around the world, they have created the Guardian profession, offering financial support and villain bounties to those who register with them. During the same period, another profession of generously paid visor designers had become popular. A visor is the costume that guardians wear, quantum-threaded skin tight material that offers the guardians an opportunity to hide their identities and pursue interests outside of their guardian duties.
In this roleplay you can either play as a GDA agent supporting the Nemesis Protocol, or one of the Guardians, visored adventurers who have access to technology that grants them super human abilities and use said abilities to stop high-tech crime and save people. I have a few guardians already drawn, which I will use as examples for the types of characters that you can create. We will play some slice of life to introduce your characters, get them to know each-other as the GDA had summoned them all to work together, and we will take turns diving deeper into their backgrounds as we deal with their archenemies.
- Skilled, and always desired to be a Guardian: You could be a basement dwelling hacker who in the wake of the technological revolution had realized their skill can be used to disarm the criminals that rapidly populate your street, or a prodigy with a blade, a bow, or just a good simple pistol, following your desire to become a guardian for the sake of glory and what you believe to be the heart of justice. You don a visor, but don't necessarily rely on any cybernetic enhancements, though you still could, because why not.
- Inherited a High-tech Weapon: A parental figure of yours is an engineer who used to work in Interama Corp, who had been working on their own secret project in their lab at home. Though that parental figure had been tragically taken away from you, their lab remains, where you find their secret project, a high-tech weapon which you decide to use to seek out and defeat those who took them away from you. Or, perhaps the parental figure was a guardian, and in the wake of their demise, you pick up their high-tech weapon and choose to adopt their mantle and continue their legacy.
- Nano-Enhanced Soldier: Though the super-soldier program was discontinued after the war, some of you remain, having changed your identities to live among the citizens in hopes of leading a normal life. But in the wake of the Authoritarium's terror, you decide to come back into action, donning a mask and becoming a guardian to take down the organization that made you possible.
- Became a guardian, but not by choice: An accident left you on the verge of death, and the only way to save you was to turn you into something new, cybernetic implants, metallic skeleton, or a bio-engineered serum that changed your entire biology. Though you could be lucky and still appear like a normal human, some in the same predicament would not, unable to lead normal lives under their new monstrous appearance. You become indebted to these miraculous changes, feeling responsible to use your new abilities to become a guardian.
- Insert your ideas here.
Nothing is exactly definitive, but I am just gaging interest. If you're interested, drop a line of what kind of character you'd like to play and the kind of storyline you'd like us to explore together. As the team of writers, we will all get to choose the direction this will go.
