It seemed the year 2012 was right to prophesize the end of the world. Well the end of the electronic world. In July of 2012 a massive electromagnetic device was detonated by a Super evil genius that swept across the Earth, throwing everything into disarray. All electronics either exploded or fried those that weren't shielded. Some electronics survived, but the world was thrown into chaos. World governments struggled desperately to maintain control. Strangely enough it was the dictatorships that stabilized first. Then a couple of the stronger democracies stabilized. Now two years later, the aftermath has set in. Electronics have slowly started to come back, almost back to former levels. Problems did arise though. Many people began to realize that Humanity had evolved. Most were still just human, but some... got super. This was first made widely known due to one fact. Some of the small governments that were still in turmoil, went silent. When investigated it seemed one man had accomplished this. By genocide. The U.S. military moved in to kill the mystery man, who was perched upon a pile of bodies. It took the military 1000 casualties to kill the man. He was Super, but a villain. Then others began popping up. Fearful, the governments of the world created VENOM, The Virulent Existence New Obliteration Military. It's sole task was to eliminate anything super. Naturally a band of supers arose to combat this threat to their lives. They named themselves VoV, The Village of Villains and they slaughtered whatever they felt like. VENOM couldn't handle them so it changed its policy and recruited Supers of it's own with the promise that they could survive. Naturally these were called Super Heroes. As the two groups battled, other Supers stayed out of the conflict trying to stay under the radar and survive in the world.<br/>A new target has been set into the eyes of the VoV. They assault the U.S. city of New York. Venom moves in to stop themm and a stalemate arises. The island of Manhattan has become the battleground of sorts due to it's value as an economic gold mine to the U.S., the U.S. being the biggest contributor to VENOM, then crippling the economic capital would be very good for the VoV. The villains rob and kill, while the heroes try to bring them in. Although it's carried out in a mafia sort of way. All hush hush and shaded from the eyes of the public. Some Supers are already living there, fearful of discovery.<br/><br/>1. Heroes should all know or have heard each other.<br/>2. Known Viilains will be listed in a "Target" book of the heroes.<br/>3 Neutrals will be roaming, or in their own group. Whatever they choose, but will eventually be found.<br/><br/>Links<br/>OOC (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89391.msg3912148#msg3912148)<br/>Characters (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89389.0)
