They weren't sure what caused it, just that it happened. A spill. Not lethal-- not enough to kill anyone. It was hardly enough to make anyone sick, really. So the powers that be, let it be. It was going to be too hard to clean up anyways. And the public turmoil it would have caused--! Too much trouble for one little, teensy mishap. It wasn't hard to cover it up. They made up for the lost chemicals by claiming they used too much in another project. When push came to shove, the scientists at the plant went into great (fake) detail, and no more questions were asked.
It wasn't until they realized that it'd gotten into the drinking supply that they started getting worried. People began showing up at the clinics and the hospital with shortness of breath, stomach bugs, and headaches. 'These things are normal in the summer months,' the doctors told the patients, and they went home unhelped. Sure, they were normal-- stomach bugs and headaches. But was it normal for a cut to heal overnight? Or fire to just spontaneously burst from a hand? Doubtful.
And it wasn't just a few people. It was the entire town of Bristol, Massachusetts that was affected. Everyone who had a sip to drink from the tap or cooked spaghetti or showered. Everyone.
How will the town cope with their new powers? Will they take advantage of them or refuse to embrace their fates? Will the entire population turn into a giant battle of good vs. evil?
One thing is for sure. There's something in the water....

Dusty back roads, motels that have seen better days, sigils and latin, and shotguns filled with rocksalt. It might not be much, but for those who call themselves hunters, that's what they call home.
Welcome to the world of Supernatural.
Most hunters can make it thirty years without ever facing the worst of their nightmares. Spirits, vampires, werewolves: those are the easy ones. Most hunters never signed up for fending off the friggin' apocalypse.
66 seals are all that stand between humanity and Hell on Earth. One by one, the seals are breaking, and day by day, the lines are becoming more blurred. In preparation for Lucifer's return, demons are surfacing en masse -- in numbers far greater than even Azazel could have imagined. They're laying the land to waste, and hunters are far out-numbered. But they're not alone: angels walk the earth for the first time in two-thousand years.
The war has been raging for the better part of a year. The question is, which side are you on?
Opening delayed until Sam Winchester is filled; seeking Ruby, Bobby, and others!
Original characters more than welcome! |

2009 was a year of remarkable accomplishments. Humanity witnessed the pinnacle of its evolution. For a short span of time, Earth was a veritable paradise and the genius of man seemed untouchable. They say that history wields the greatest lesson of all, a saying that has always been proven true. As technology became more and more advanced, man’s ego grew and with every step their machines took into the future, the further into the past their minds went. They did not learn to overcome their hubris; they did nothing to stop from losing themselves in arrogance. Each country became lofty of its own achievments, while simultaneously becoming greedy for those of others. Eventually, a war broke out, one that would become known as the most devastating the world has ever seen.
2012 was met not with the rejoicing of a new year, but the bombing of the Alaskan city of Juneau, devastating the capital and its surrounding in a single, powerful blow. Enemies began to surface, countries rushed to choose sides, and the United Nations was in complete pandamonum. So began a war unlike any other and, when it all ended, the paradisical version of Earth was all but entirely lost. With America reduced to almost nothing but a desert wasteland and Europe left in shambles, a new form of government was needed to guide those who had survived. The World Government was born out of the ashes of the past, and it dedicated itself to heal the wounds of the Known World’s people.
It has been more than thirty years since what has simply been referred to as The War. The world has slowly began recovering from the catastrophic devastation it suffered at the hands of man, though the vast majority of it lies barren and uninhabitable. Save for a few bleak cities scattered over the northern hemisphere, the world belongs to those who were unfortunate enough to live through the blasts and were mutated by the effects of radiation. The World Government works toward the betterment of humankind, giving the Citydwellers medicine, shelter, and technology – all semblences of what life once was. Some flee the dictatorship to live on the Outskirts; others live in the deserts, coping with the perpetual sandstorms, lack of resources, and the Raiders that haunt the land.

Aidan Aiken, Charles Burke, Ford Carver and Daniel Hill all shared a flat while attending Oxford. The four became best friends over their years at the university. Aidan and Charles were the only two from England, while Ford was from Texas and Daniel was from Oregon. It didn't matter to the four men, they promised each other right after Graduation to have a boys trip once a year, a promise that they kept up even as they had families.
On the last trip in the summer of 2008, the men all went to South America where Charles Burke proposed the four men buy a ski resort in Colorado, they decided to do it. They forgot the part where they had to have a conversation with their wives and families, though. However, who passed up the opportunity to live out a dream? These for men? Not a chance. All very successful men who wanted to run something together.
While the wives of the men have met before, only the older children have met. As the families all re-located to Copper Mountain, Colorado, some took it well, some didn't. The eldest children were brought in to help run the mountain. It's a change for all of them, and some take it better than others.
For the kids still in high school they have private tutors, private instructors, they take classes together from instructors flown in from around the world. They want the kids to have the best education.
Those in college have been highly encouraged to attend the University of Denver, a school only a short helicopter ride away, just under two hour drive away. They had a flat not far from campus, but it is important for them to come home, the fathers all want to make sure they are doing well.
The eldest children have been recruited to work for the mountain in different areas.
Mountain life is very different from Austin, London, Newport, New York. Copper Mountain is resort, the same parties they are used to have changed, the people have changed. It's up to the families to see how it goes over, but don't expect extremely fancy parties, this is Summit County, Colorado, you're more likely to see jeans and a t-shirt at a fancy party instead of a designer dress.

| Fugitives: A Volume Four Heroes RPG |
[24 Jan 2009|10:48pm] |
After the events of March 29th, 2007 our Heroes are disheartened, spread across the U.S., and quickly losing their numbers. And to make matters worse, one of their own was working up a plan that would sacrifice his peers to better himself. As if that weren't enough, someone is out there with malicious intent toward people who are "special". Someone is hunting and rounding up anyone with abilities. No one knows who the hunter is or where the hunter comes from. And no one knows where their peers are going. Will opposing sides find allies in each other to end this menace, or will they do as they always have and serve only themselves and their own purposes? Only time will tell... and time is something they're running out of.
