A golden man screamed across the sky and laid waste to the Earth. He appeared out of nowhere, striking down cities with golden blazes of light. Then, he disappeared. Where he went nobody knows. In the aftermath, the Powered emerged. Humans granted superhuman abilities that transcend all logic and physics. The world is in tatters, communities spread across the globe with limited contact, ruled by battles between humans and villains. All the while monstrous creatures known as the Wretches stalk the barren, scarred wasteland. With incredible powers of my own saving the world is a journey of putting one foot in front of the other.

The Arrivals

The first group to arrive were legends in the community, and not in the good way.

Upper Echelon.

They were led by Paramount, an imposing-looking man who wore metal armour held together purely by the power of his own magnetism. Literally. It hovered a few millimetres away from his skin and was held there with perfect precision.

He was flanked on either side by a brother and sister pair, Damjan and Azazel. They were both dressed in similar metallic armour, though theirs wasn't controlled by their leader it was just stitched into the weave of their costumes.

Damjan was a type of healer, she transferred health from one person to another by punching them. Health was a nebulous concept, I didn't know if her power worked like something out of a video game but it sounded dangerous.
