Atlantis Noire

I can call this city mine, in a sense. We're two of a kind, she and I.

I've been around since the beginning, since the beating heart of the city was planted, deep down, centuries ago. And, since then, I've seen it all.

I was here for the rebellion, the Seven-Year War, the Independence. I was here for the Atlantean pact and the Secession War. I've been here when she became autonomous, and I'm still here for the Great War.

And if all goes down the drain, I'll be here to pick up the pieces….

For now, I just wanna welcome you to City Nouveau, the apex of mankind. Sure the bigshots at Opak-Re or Atlantis would disagree, but let me tell ya, they got nothing on us. Nothing.

Cause when the world crumbles down  it's our girls and boys that clean up the mess…

Welcome to City Nouveau, the Manhattan- sprawl of 1920's alt-earth. In this world, underwater nations, fabled cities, inhuman species and alien visitors are all true, all present and all willing to hold dominion upon our planet. In here, technology and arcane knowledge mingle, deeply influencing the events of recorded history after the advent of the Argent, an extraterrestrial species of great power and obscure intentions.

It could have been any of a number of things: a genetic experiment, an obscure origin, a robotic project, exposition to strange substances, or sheer training. Thanks to it you have been granted superhuman gifts and the power to influence the fate of this world - and many others…

SYSTEM: Mutants and Masterminds
INITIAL LEVEL: 12
THEME/MOOD: softcore sci-fi/noir/Déco-Punk
ORIGINS: any, as long as it fits the sci-fi background. No mystic origins. Please, no demonic concepts, backgrounds or characters at all.

THE SETTING: City Nouveau, this world's decopunk substitute for New York. City Nouveau became a city-state with independent government after the end of the Secession War. It was conceived to house two major layers - the surface skyscraper jungle that reaches from island to continent and the subaquatic areas, built by its atlantean citizens. The city houses everything - from Argent technology, to sentient robots, to Neanderthal gangsters. Nonetheless, it lives from atlantean tech, having close ties to Atlantis and its denizens.

THE INHABITANTS: besides humans, at least four other sentient species developed throughout history: the resilient Neanderthal, the sophisticated Atlanteans, the wise Gorilla-men and the proud reptilians. Centuries ago, they were joined by the alien psychic race of the Argent, an enclave of dubious intentions and suspicious generosity. Other groups are certainly out there, waiting to come to light...

DISCLAIMER: I'm a Christian. There are some things I cannot promote in a game, such as demonic aspects, things like that. This also means I can't do gender-oriented debates within the game, ok? Consider this before applying, and thanks for understanding!
