Stories From Star City
"We always knew that meta humans would be a problem in the long run. People are to uncontrollable, Dawnstar was the only rational solution left to us after the Vietnam war. You have no idea the kind of things some of those super humans did….I don’t regret anything.” –Director Brown, upon being questioned about the founding of Dawnstar.
Imagine if you would a world full of super humans. Can you picture it? I’m sure you went to imagine the adorable little fantasy of Marvel or DC. In this world, they are both wrong by a longshot.
Super powered individuals have been a part of the population since World War 1. In the beginning, they were viewed with a mixture of both awe and respect. Heroes often did the right thing, and it was much like the world of heroes most would imagine when they hear the word Superhero. Rarely did the lines get crossed. As the years progressed though, things began to grow out of control. Heroes were a uncontrolled force, and many heroes took to believing themselves above the laws of society. It wasn’t long before people had trouble distinguishing heroes from villains as so called heroes began giving themselves over to more and more vile acts.
Things came to a head in the Vietnam war. The lack of discipline combined with the horrors of war made for some of the most terrible atrocities that have ever been known by man. A group of Superhumans however, were appalled by the acts of many of their brethren. As the Vietnam war ended, this group banded together and formed a plan that would come to be known by all as the ‘Dawnstar Initiative’
This group of men and women baked by the government, began to evaluate and recruit many individuals to help to enforce the new laws that were granted to the Dawnstar organization. Dawnstar was created to monitor and enforce any and all laws on super humans. Previously, if a hero or villain broke even minor laws, it was ignored in lieu of their power to resist mostly any form of punishment. The Dawnstar organization changed all of that.
It I a new world in the modern day, with the Dawnstar organization now monitoring a large percentage of the Superhuman population, and always being the first on the scene to deal with any Superhuman affairs. Very few auper humans resist them, and even less dare to actively opposed them.
This game will focus on the home city of the Dawnstar organization, Star City. It will be a very player driven game, and all forms of super humans will be accepted, from members of the Dawnstar Organization, to independent heroes, to villains.
Star City awaits, where will your path take you?
