A specter is haunting the world. The specter of change. A fire that spreads to every country, to every mind.
In the early days, there were 10. Now there are thousands. Spilling out of the masses of humanity, supers. Those with The Gift are given extraordinary abilities based on their inner wants and can give it to one other person.
The First Generation created the Lighthouse Society. An organization used to fight crime and corruption across the world. For a decade it was good. Superheroes were at the height of their popularity and the world was truly a safer place.
However, it was not to last. Jericho, the first and most powerful, grew disillusioned. The failings of man grew weary on his heart and he could no longer stand it. He left the Earth and exiled himself on Mars. Soon after, he ripped Mars asunder for reasons only he knows.
The Lighthouse Society faltered with the abdication of its leader and from the Chaos that fell from the skies. The Keepers all went on to found their own organizations, however most failed as well. Reified, once the closest friend of Jericho, went on to found Task Force 5. A government organization bent on finding rouge supers and either recruiting them for their cause or exterminating them.
Years have gone by. Task Force 5 has swelled its ranks but The Gift continues to spread unabated. The Reified are spoken of in hushed tones.
Meanwhile, rumors abound of Jericho's return. Of the Secret Flame. A revolutionary group bent on destroying humanity by giving all human beings The Gift. "By destroying what makes us human, only then can we ascend to our proper destiny!"
The sides are drawn. Pick one or try to survive on your own. Rest assured the world will never be the same.
