 Welcome to Avalonis, where superheroes and villains walk the streets and nothing is quite what it seems.
The city of Avalonis was once dubbed the superpowered capital of the world and even today the city is filled with people who can do the most extraordinary things. Some can move things with their mind, others can read them and then there are some who have no powers at all but insist on fighting for justice nonetheless. As when you have a city filled with heroes, villains will follow and now the city is host to some of the most spectacular and epic show downs the world has ever seen.
Beneath the shiny exterior of the city and the side that the tourists come to see in the hope of catching a glimpse of the city's famous heroes and villains is a layer of corruption. The Irish mob and Italian mafia control parts of the city, pushing prostitution and drugs onto the streets of Avalonis. If there's something you crave then there's always a way to get it, no matter how sordid your tastes.
There's a reason why the city needs heroes. Avalonis Police Department is rife with corruption. The internal struggle within the department is probably why they have yet to pay full attention to the recent disappearances of young superpowered individuals, but how long can these disappearances remain unnoticed and who knows more than they're letting on? |

When you dream, do you dream of the dark?
Of the city streets? Of cold and hunger, rain down your neck. Or do you dream of the glitz and the glamour, driving to the next party, ignoring the nobodies outside in the rain?
When you dream - what do you see?

Eidolon City is an original character game with a difference, set in a world of the imagination, a mirror to the real world of the 1940s, a noir city setting full of high society, mafia wars, poverty and corruption.
We are currently looking for new characters and our players have suggested the following to spark your imaginations!

SOCIETY
It's not easy being a straight guy in this town, especially not in politics, but Harry Freeman tries his best. Sure, he's hardly whiter than white, but he's kept mostly to the straight and narrow, and managed to stay in office for the past ten years. He just knows he's never going to make it to the top unless he's willing to bend a little more.
The City Echo started out as a pissant nothing of a paper, but it has been ruthlessly pushed over the years and now it's the biggest thing in town when it comes to news. And in the middle sits the editor, always pulling strings to get the right results.
Carlotta Ferris might never have got the best education in the world, but she knows all she needs to - the renowned beauty knows the power of her looks and uses them to her best advantage. That and a quiet change of name and hardly anyone remembers these days that she wasn't born into the social circles she inhabits.
MOBS
Alexi Sidorov has plans. He may only be young, but he's ambitious and he's going places. He was the youngest member of the Konovich Syndicate to be given a captaincy and he intends to get higher still. Working in a meritocracy, though, means proving yourself, and with the shake up in the Syndicate lately, now seems to be the time to do just that.
Kurtis Walker has put his time in with the family. With society, with doing all the quiet, harsh if necessary deeds his family has required, and he's looking forward to his reward - Cheyenne. Pretty little thing, perfect to round out his life now that he's reached a stage where the messier parts of his job will be passed on to someone lower down the food chain. She'll look good on his arm, that's for sure.
Scarlett O'Malley remembers better days, when her family had respect in this town. Things have only fallen apart in the last few weeks, when the cops closed in on them, and their Syndicate allies turned on them. Now her family is dead, or scattered. Scarlett, though, wants revenge, and to rebuild what they once had.
HOMELESS
George is a mad on the run, hiding out in plain sight with the city homeless. Once he was connected to one of the most powerful familites in the city, now he's hunted, living under Sixth Street bridge, pretending to be crazy to save his own skin.

 | Destiny FallsWe'll all fall down....
Welcome to a world of exciting night life, perfect weather, simple and luxurious pleasures, and all the excitement or rest and relaxation one could ever want. Founded by Liam Sypher in 1970 after he purchased the land for dirt cheap in an auction, Destiny Falls has quickly become the place to live, vacation, and work. Once the private property of billionaire, rapist, serial killer, and cannibal Richard Beckett, this secluded island off the East coast of the United States boasts a world-renowned resort, spa, medical center, exclusive housing, private school, college, a gorgeous natural waterfall for which the island gets its name, and a Las Vegas-like nightlife, with a downtown strip known simply as "Vice Alley" that's brimming with four star hotels, restaurants, clubs, shopping, and casinos. Visitors and residents can expect the convenience of the very best of anything their heart desires at their fingertips, twenty-four hours a day. Some people find their way to the island on their own, looking for a new start. Some are sent there as punishment, forgetting their old lives entirely. Some come on vacation and have such valuable psychic abilities that Mr. Sypher just won't let them leave. There's all the reason in the world to come there, and no reason at all to ever leave again. For anything.
In fact, it's really best for some if they don't even try.
So the question you must ask yourself before coming to Destiny Falls is, do you want everything your heart desires? And what's more, could you handle it if you got it? Mr. Sypher, still alive and kicking and living in the penthouse on the top floor of the Sypher Hotel and Casino located in the heart of Vice Alley, is here to help. Down on your luck? Looking for a change? Looking for that ever elusive big break? Forget New York, Hollywood and Vegas, Destiny Falls is the place where it's guaranteed to happen. Be it riches, fame, love, youth, or success, it can and will be found in Destiny Falls, at least for a time and ALWAYS for a price. The price usually being your soul.
But does that really matter when everything you desire is yours?
Destiny Falls is a brand new, original character RPG set in the fictional island of Destiny Falls off of the East coast of the United States. Lots of PBs available and plenty of smutty and plotty potential!
