I was there when it began, the age of heroes, when the Man of Steel showed himself for the first time, saved the titanic, and all hands on board. When the world gained its first true hero, someone more then man.
I watched as the first Mystery Men hit the ground running, protecting the innocents, or dieing in the process, trying to follow in his footsteps, even if no man truly could.
I read the papers, when the Great War broke out, nation against nation, man against man, a slaughter on both sides.
Signed up first hand, when they attacked New York, when they destroyed the statue of liberty, leveled the big apple completely. That same day, when the war came to US soil, when screams and blood filled the streets.
Lost my son to the first wave of mutations, and the ensuing riots. No one knew what started it, but everyone wanted to capitalize on the moment.
By the time the war was over, and we claimed our 'victory' there were over half a billion bodies to dispose of, a number we couldn't even begin imagine before that moment. Massive tracts of no-mans land sprawled out for miles where the fighting was at it's worst. Deep sickly brown smog from all the war time factories blotted out the sun in their rush to keep up with the demands. Hope began to die.
I was lucky just to have survived...
Now, the embers of the great war are slowly dieing, and Heroes are almost as common a sight as the abandoned buildings where so many people once resided. Captain America, Spider-man, Batman, and even our own Man of Steel, Superman. Yet even more common are the riots, the rum running, the crime.
The greatest celebration after the first, and hopefully last World War feels a bit empty in the light of it all. It's a dark, and dangerous place, and you've got to ask yourself, "Can I even push back, or should I just give in, be swept away by the tide."

You read that right folks. We're actually launching. I know people said it'd never get done, but we're ready for alpha launch. With a full temporary chargen system to get people up and running and all our basic systems. Our Launch event, which will be an open invitation scene won't be for a short while still to allow people to go through the chargen process but this is us officially opening our doors for open alpha testing.
