At the end of the world, the stars went dark.
Astronomers were baffled; never in recorded history had so many stars disappeared so quickly. Some thought it signaled the end of the world, some thought it was only just another part of the cycle of the universe, but for all their studies of the phenomenon, an answer always remained out of reach.
And then the world's heroes started to disappear with them, across time, across space, from Krypton to Venus and everything in between. Then the villains. And then one by one regular people turned up missing as well. No farewell notes, no last goodbyes-- it was like the mystery of Roanoke only without even a single word carved into a tree as a clue to where they'd gone.
Our story picks up in a new city, one like those you might remember and yet not, filled with a multitude of unmemorable bodies and now, of late, the disappeared. No-one knows why they're here, what the purpose of this all is, if there is any at all, or even where "here" is, but one thing they do know is they can't leave.
Welcome to Metro City.

Vampires around here don't sparkle.
A hundred years ago, supernaturals 'didn't exist'. They were figments of your imagination, things that went bump in the night and tall tales that you told your children. Not anymore.
Supernaturals were in hiding, laying dormant and blending into the background in order to protect themselves, but during WWII, the need for their abilities became so great that hiding was no longer an option. The government had long been aware of the existence of supernaturals, and when Hitler was killed or died and the accounts of the death were so unusual they couldn't be explained, people started asking questions. Keeping supernaturals under wraps became impossible and so the different races of supernaturals exploded across the lands. Just like any other minority, supernaturals weren't welcomed with open arms. Many were persecuted and some even killed for being 'different'. There was segregation and hate crimes and many churches labeled being supernatural an abomination before God. Supernaturals had to register with the government and were prosecuted if they were found without their registration cards. Many supernaturals went back into hiding.
During the sixties, however, in the height of civil rights and love, peace and harmony, being supernatural didn't seem so bad in the grand scheme of things. There were vast civil rights movements and eventually laws were passed protecting supernaturals the same as other minority groups. Still, not everyone accepted people who were 'different'. Many supernaturals migrated to areas where they were more widely accepted.
Some may have moved right next door to you.
In Washington, DC., moving into an apartment with a new roommate might mean that you're sharing a living space with a werewolf. Or maybe your son's new kindergarten teacher is an elemental. Or that girl you have a crush on in Algebra just might already know because she's a telepath. Things are still a struggle when it comes to acceptance and not everyone is happy about the path that the world is taking towards equality.
Where do you stand? Which side will you take?
