Superhero RPG - Rebellion

[Whale Biologist]

In an effort to post on this forum and not get yelled at because of it, I figure I'll try another RPG. This plot is lifted from one of my stories, but I'll pare down the history a little bit so it's not cumbersome.

The Year: 2460
The Place: Earth. For now, at least.
The Situation: Tense. Very tense.

For five hundred years, genomalies (mutants, paranormals, nosferatu, lycanthropes, and more) have been tagged and controlled by the reigning government, after the Incident of 2006, which resulted in roughly one billion deaths worldwide.

The short version of the Incident: a group of genomalies rose to prominence, trying to make political progress and prove that they were not evil, but in doing so caused a very short, unbelievably bloody war, with one billion deaths worldwide. The power struggle between Martyr and Demon, in the streets and sky of Washington DC, completely levelled the city. As well, it was found out later, Demon, who was telepathically linked via psychic contagion to billions of people, drained all of his victims during the battle in an effort to overpower Martyr, who grew stronger the more he was hurt. One billion dead, and one billion critically injured, in the space of a day, as well as a nation laid to waste.

It was not difficult, from that point on, to capture and control the genomalies of the world, since the two most powerful (estimated to be more powerful than the sum total of every other genomaly in existence) had been destroyed. For decades, they were used as forced slave labor, rebuilding the shattered remains of the world with their powers. For decades more, they were subjugated, imprisoned, and forced NOT to use their abilities. Eventually, in the 2300's, opinions softened, and genomalies were slowly reintegrated into society, but always tagged, and always marked by clothing, and sometimes occupation.

Nosferatu, not needing oxygen or even atmosphere, are now used almost exclusively as startship pilots, since their craft do not need to be sealed, or heated. Asteroid miners, experimental exploration, probes and research... NosCorp flies them all. Psychics are often used in hospitals as diagnosticians. Physically powerful genomalies are used in mining, construction, and other such fields, where their powers can be put to good use.

In spite of all this, they are still slaves. Their foreheads are tattoed, they must wear a bright orange vest at all times (attached, in fact, with unbreakable fibres so it can almost never be removed). They cannot own property, they cannot reproduce, and they cannot associate in groups larger than four without armed escorts (and even then, it's usually not allowed). More worryingly, very powerful ones often vanish, and are never seen again, particularly psychics. Despite the relative peace and safety of their lives, they are slaves to humanity. Many understand the reasons, but despite the generally pleasant attitude of humans toward genomalies (often approaching condescension), there are still groups who call for them all to be put to death. Mobs often corner, capture, beat, or kill genomalies found on their own, and the police often don't inquire TOO far into it.

The situation is once again approaching tension. Freedoms are being limited more and more on a weekly basis by the world government, and more and more, genomalies are disappearing.

Who will be next?

You?

Notable People In The World:

President Kennedy Unrelated to the American President of days gone by, this President is President of the world. All other countries have their own elected Prime Minister, who serve as advisory committee to the President, as well as to the United Nations, which the the governing military body. Elderly and crotchety, he won on a campaign of genomaly 'reform'.

Rowan O'Reilly The only living thing to survive ground zero of the Incident, Rowan is pushing five hundred years old. The reason for this is he is, for all intents and purposes, completely indestructible. When his cells divide, the genetic telomeres do not shrink, and as such, he has not aged appreciably. The only harm he has come to in his life was his retinas being burned to ash, when he watched the final apocalyptic assault between Martyr and Demon. Only he knows exactly what happened that day, and he has told the story thousands of times. Chief Genomaly Advisor to the United Nations. There is not much need to imprison him, as he is blind, and has no other abilities, so he is granted almost complete freedom, as per a normal person. He doesn't even need the vest. EVERYONE knows what he looks like. EVERYONE.

Ranger An exceedingly powerful genomaly, capable of fantasic flight speeds as well as telekinesis-based feats of strength, he acts as a global Search and Rescue team. Also world famous, it is only through years of flawless service and selfless acts that he is allowed out without a guard (mostly because they can't catch him).

Former President Marshall Currently in jail for life for Impersonating a Human. Only genomaly elected to office in five hundred years, as she avoided the genetic birth testing somehow. Powers were revealed by an anonymous tip to the UN, who staged an assassination to force her to reveal her powers. Location unknown.

Tanto Michiba Leading crusader for Genomaly Reform, linked (unconclusively) to several bombings resulting in genomaly deaths. On TV every night, wherever you go in the world. Extremely rich, extremely powerful, and extremely popular. Young, strong, and Japanese pureblood, which is rare after four centuries of inter-racial mixing.

Martyr Rumored to NOT have died in the Incident, but living underground and planning a rebellion to free his kin. Mostly folk tale.
