There is a theory. A theory which states that all fiction has a basis in fact. That no idea is entirely original, but simply a divine glimpse into an alternate reality. A secret world, where legends live and breathe.

This theory is not just a simple idea, but fact. And only a small percentage of the human population will ever glimpse beyond the veil. The veil between our world as we know it, a façade that has been so carefully constructed to keep humans safe, and the true world. The Metahumans see the world as it truly is. And they are its guardians.

The Meta Game is an original superpower game, in which all characters have undergone an awakening, becoming metahuman. In this universe, there is a secret organization - referred to only has the Agency - that keeps tabs on all metahumans and preternatural activity. In this world, everything is true, and nothing is impossible.

Upon an individual's awakening, they are recruited into the Agency and offered a deal. Have your newfound powers and memory wiped, and safely return to your old life unchanged - or, embrace evolution and join the Agency. As a member of the Agency, your entire world opens up. The secrets of the world's legends are at your fingertips; an endless supply of knowledge for you to study to your heart's content. Money, more money than you have ever dreamed of. Luxury, travel, and of course, power. You are given a shortcut to devoting your life to whatever it is you've always dreamed of. But in exchange, you agree to become a guardian, and fight to protect the world from things the average human is incapable of facing.

When zombies rise in a Louisiana bog, it's you fighting on the frontlines. When aliens harass cattle in the English countryside, you're on clean-up duty. Some poor archaeologist has triggered the wrath of an Egyptian mummy's curse? It is your duty to send him back to the afterlife where he belongs. You will face creatures of every mythology, and stand triumphant. Thanks to you, the human world will never know how close they come to a new apocalypse each and every day.

It can be a thankless job, but hey. It's a living. And at least you don't pay taxes anymore.

March 15, 2020. 90% of the world's population vanishes. Simultaneously, 10% of the animal population is struck with a Rage-type virus. Chaos ensues. Communications break down. Riots happen. Of the surviving population, the majority are gifted humans ... and while the Rage virus turns ungifted humans the same way it turns animals, it only sickens gifted humans.

Was it a gifted human conspiracy? A power out of control? An act of a God only a small percentage of the population believed in? Supernatural forces? There are no answers, except one - rebuilding is the next step.

Before all communications broke down, lists of safe havens were posted and have since been carried by word of mouth, by graffiti on walls, by flyers in areas people are likely to see. One of these safehouses is settled in Breckenridge - the Meadowridge Boarding School. This place has now simply become known as Haven, and is helping the town of Breckenridge get back on its feet while incorporating those seeking shelter and refuge from the chaos of the world.

With anarchy prevalent, with enraged animals attacking anything that moves, with conspiracy theories abound, what becomes of this world?
