PREMISE

A NEW GENERATION of heroes is trained under the veterans of old - young men and women learning from their heroes how to be the best super powered individuals they can become, at Byrne Academy. This new facility, hastily thrown together due to a rash of powered adolescents springing up across the world, is absolutely one of a kind. Located in the heart of the Mojave Desert, students come to gather in a location where they can do no damage to the outside world - either to learn how to join the powered world, or how to manage their powers and live a regular life.

THE VETERANS' GUIDING HANDS are not enough, however: a new brand of unsavory vigilante is coming forth; individuals less concerned with morals and doing good and more with getting their man any way possible. The old guard of the heroic world try their best to mold these people, even inviting the presence of post-secondary age students to join them for internships and one-on-one tutoring that extends beyond that offered to the high-school age children in the facility. But it may already be too late to help those who have written their own lateral moral code.

WATCHING FROM THE SHADOWS are the infamous group, the Chaos Syndicate, who have their fingers in everything - including the operation of the school. Covert members of the organization have joined the school, both as teachers and students, and are waiting for the opportune moment to recruit and pull the facility apart at the seams, thereby damaging international security and the strength of governments the world over. The Chaos Syndicate will strike - it's only a matter of time.

Join us today, to experience Rites of Passage - inviting students, teachers, and superpowered individuals in the outside world.

Pax Letale: a modern myth game

PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN



In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there.

Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull.

For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale.

A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place.

Available Tenants:


Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities.

Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon.

Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely.

ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS


Don't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it.

Pax Letale has re-opened under new management.
Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.

"My heart is pierced by Cupid. I disdain all glittering gold.
There is nothing can console me but my Jolly Salior Bold
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea."
