Brave New World Order
The world is, or was, as you have known it. At least in terms of the day to day surface details. Science and Technology work as we have come to expect. Giant research labs investigate things like the possibility of cold fusion or cures for cancer, not creating super soldiers or bathing people in gamma radiation. Mystical traditions abound but most people assume they fall into categories between self delusion, con artists, and harmless therapy.
But something has changed. Something subtle, but with dramatic potential. Potential which will soon affect you personally.
Starting characters are 25 points, with up to 75 points in disads. Advancement will come rapidly, and as part of the plot, and not in ways you are likely to anticipate. Magery is possible as an advantage, but spells cannot be known at the beginning of the game, and you have no way of knowing what the mana level is- aside from the GM letting you know that for all of your lives up until now it has been at none, and if magery is useful to the powers you gain you are likely to get it with your powers.
Mysticism may hold some answers- if your character commits to a 5 point delusion that magic works and a 5 point unusual background (considered a package so it does not count against your disad limit) then I will go over what options exist there.
Characters do not need to start out together, or even in the same part of the world. Events will conspire to bring their lives to intersect, though in what way cannot be foreseen.
