TO ALL
Trying to restart our back story efforts here. Not trying to dictate one.
Being a functioning team from the start was one of the preambles of the game. We need to create our own canon. Gamemaster told us to! He will edit and guide as needed.
Lets refresh what we know.
quote:
Last year, much of the world, saw an actual decline in the involvement of metahumans in world affairs. While the conflicts in Kashmir and Afghanistan continued, several A-list names just stopped showing up. At the same time, a new street drug Exalt was starting to make headway. It seemed to give non-metahumans a chance at gaining metahuman powers. Usually only temporarily. For some rare few, the experience became a catalyst to what they've become now...
A disgraced former-cop, Samantha Swan, discovered that a handful of recently-disappeared former vigilantes (some of whom were among the thought-to-have-retired group) were being held captive and harvested for the creation of Exalt. You five were instrumental in uncovering and eventually bringing down the operation. Even if it meant taking on members of the Black Lotus Triad and the Malakov Mafiya!
So... how did you get involved?
You've got my permission to make shit up! We may revise and massage stuff to make it all fit, but I'm not holding you back. This is your story, after all...
