Emerald City Emergence - CLOSED

Welcome to Emerald City.

The West coast has largely existed without the furor and fanfare of the super-powered metahuman dramas found elsewhere.  But this has changed.  The recent Silver Storm is believed to be linked to the sudden appearance of dozens of metahuman individuals.

Unlike in the Emerald City Knights series, the Silver Storm was caused by a fight between two metahumans that were believed destroyed in the resulting maelstrom.   Since then, the rate of power-eruption and power-scale jumping in the area has increased dramatically.

What is not known to the characters (or the world in general) is that many existing metahumans and newly-erupted metahumans have been "colonized" by an extra-terrestrial race of sentient dimensionally-shifted microbes.   These symbiotes that have dramatically altered the people allowing for the expression of their powers.  (It's important to note that the "colonies" are not the powers itself, they are simply the cause or explanation for it).

A keep problem, though is that the colonies, themselves, have been engaging in an ideological war for most of their known and recorded history.   Now, Earth's metas are simply another expression of that conflict.




This is not the story of the Emerald City Knights.   I like the setting for Emerald City, but don't want to use the associated adventure.
