"I reject this world and live amongst the nostalgia of a lost paradise."
~ Uro
Rumors have circulated for years in Megalopolis of people with supernatural abilities roaming the city, fighting crime and keeping the city safe. With crime rates on the rise for decades, it was a peaceful idea. While some took it as reality and hoped for these heroes to save them in their time of need, many denounced them as just an urban legend. Regardless of whatever rumors and speculation the newspapers tend to say, it wasn't so clear cut as the masses liked to portray it as. In reality there were no real heroes, or villains, and while some people did put on disguises, they were far from the colorful fanfare that people enjoyed imagining. Most of the time the popular belief of these "heroes" was over-dramatized, and their powers downplayed. It was as if people saw it as some kind of game. I guess that is why it came as such a shock to those in the city when the Price Tower Incident occurred.
Those who remember seeing the event, reminiscence about the angel-like feathers of glass shards that had fallen to the streets that day. A man who was eventually nicknamed Uro by the press, had supposedly held the police commissioner as his hostage for nearly two months. As the police search desperately for the commissioner, Uro revealed himself at the popular Price Tower, shrouded in a dark trench coat, a blue hockey mask (hiding his face), and his arms covered in scars. He gripped the commissioner around his neck. Though he held no weapons, he threatened everyone there as if he did. What exactly the man wanted was unclear, but he proclaimed that those gifted with powers should not remain in hiding and instead use their powers freely. As the building began to be surrounded by an army of police officers, a flash of light that seemed to have been created by Uro's unarmed hands, sent a powerful shockwave, shattering almost every window in the 159 story Price Tower building. After the light subsided, the Commissioner and Uro were not to be found. It was as if they were vaporized, leaving no clues behind.
The Incident at Price Tower marked the end of an era, where popular belief saw those who possessed supernatural abilities as hidden guardians, it wasn't until the mentioning of Uro, that changed everyone's idea of what was superhuman. Fear began to spread, as more and more superhumans took up Uro's creed. While some used their powers for crime, others attempted to work with police (most of the time disguised) and reform the imagine of a superhuman. This charitable work though came with little reward as the masses saw even these heroes as something to fear.
It has been five years after the Price Tower Incident, and Uro's words have never seem stronger.

The sun had set in the west hours before, and the various colored lights filled the city's skyline. Thunderstorms were predicted to occur tonight, but only clouds appear above, hiding the moon. Even though most of Megalopolis slept in these dark hours, some still stumbled by, others began to stir out of their beds. The ally ways, relatively abandoned during the day, came to life with nocturnal creatures: Drug dealers, prostitutes, fight clubs, the works... They all show their faces now that the sun dropped below the horizon. As the clock strikes nine, the common sounds of sirens echo off in the distance, and a static tone of gunfire can be heard closer to the docks.
"Ah, it seems the fun, has only begun."
Note - Some many wanted to start off almost immediately, and Wiz reassured me that I didn't need to have all my stuff completed to have you guys interact with one another. So I have opened it up for now.
Edit - Left it more up to you guys (removed the part about a bomb).
