"Honey!!! Wheres my Supersuit?"
It was around the 2020’s at a time of high tension around the world that the first metahumans began to arrive. People thought it was pretty cool at first, but even the most fervent of doomsayers would not have thought it would happen so quickly. 2033 marked the end of civilization as we knew it. No one is sure what happened, most believed it was some powerful nutter who nihilistically wanted the world to end. Either way it doesn’t really matter, On November 9th of 2033 Every nuclear weapon on earth simultaneously launched and the most populous cities were the targets. It was so sudden and all at the same time few people even attempted to flee. The fear and tension and conflict was finally coming to a head. The bombs fell and Billions died in a flash. Civilization collapsed yet mankind would pass through a sort of filter, as it turned out over the next few decades the rate of people born with metahuman abilities would increase, well thats not exactly accurate. Its more so that those with abilities were more likely to survive long enough to have children, and thus would pass on their metahuman gene.
Its been Fifty years since the bombs fell and a third generation of survivors has been born. While much hardship has been had over the decades, clusters of survivors began formulating communities almost immediately after the Bombs fell, and these communities have grown, merged, split, and become The new Nations of the world, though admittedly nation is a bit if an exaggeration, they are more akin to tribes, towns, or Cities. Among all of these Tribes and people group, the ones our story focuses on Are The Warlords.
This tribe Founded by the still reigning Chief Paul Ithid, has Dominated the Great lakes area of what used to be the United states. Through Conquest and Diplomatic relations they have absorbed their local neighbors. Becoming the largest tribe within a hundred miles of the great lakes and successfully driving the more violent factions out. Under the Reign of Paul Irrigation and farming has bloomed, they’ve even managed to breed a stable population of chickens and Cattle. This rapid growth and resource development has resulted in them being the target of many a people which has in turn forced them to put together a potent defensive force.
The growing population has unfortunately began to exceed the resource production, Thus paul has Ordered an expansionary crusade into their surrounding lands. This is not a task that will be met without resistance from the surrounding peoples. Thus the Defense forces of the Warlords have been called upon for this expansionary mission. You are among this defense force, sent into the Open wilderness to secure land for expansion. What kind of Warlord will you be? Will you drive the peoples out of their lands to take them for yourself? Perhaps you intend to unite your two peoples with diplomacy, Or perhaps, you fear retaliation and subscribe to the idea that they must be purged. Many individuals make up this force, and this untested military has much to learn both about itself, and the world around them.

(hiya folks, today ive got a kinda sandbox setup that i think can go far. Have you ever wondered what fallout would be like if people had powers? Wonder no more your here in the thick of it now. Characters in this setting are expected to be from the Warlords Tribe nestled within the great lakes area of tue USA. Unlike many other storylines in this genre Superpowers are incredibly frequent. Like 98% of people have them. If you ever meet someone who doesnt have powers that person might be someone to worry about as you wont make in this world like that if you aren’t inherently badass.
All that is to say, your powers are not what makes your character unique, in fact you may have to face someone with a similar power, it’s highly likely that your parents or siblings might even have the exact same power. In reality this is a story about the way such power effects people and how their mindsets influence the way this new world will be shaped. Im open to any and all suggestions, and i do have some planned shenanigans and threats for the future but for the most part this RP will be driven by the players, with myself being one of them. )
Questions welcome.
More information coming shortly
