Mutants and Masterminds 3rd Edition (2010)

During a solar eclipse, every hero in the city was encapsulated in a purple crystalline material, causing them to enter a stasis-like trance. The supervillain responsible no doubt had motives for bringing such foul dark magic back to the city. With one fell swoop, his sinister goal was within reach, but once the other criminals of the underworld realized what was going on, the real trouble began. Organized crime swiftly took control of the city's infrastructure. The police force has been subdued, a foreign princess is kidnapped, and the streets are littered with nothing but gunmen, troublemakers, and delinquents. While all the good guys with powers were imprisoned, it appears the bad guys did not suffer any losses. The military fought bravely but was eventually forced to retreat out of the metropolis. Shop owners are left to defend themselves against looters. Hospitals are overburdened with patients. Food supplies are running short as distributors pull away. Crops are withering and dying. Without the heat from the sun, the city is entering a localized miniaturized ice age, and nobody can figure out how to awaken their caped crusaders to defend the city once again. An amplified signal is reaching out to whoever will listen. Whether you're an engineer with a Battlesuit looking to test your inventions. An ancient warrior brought to the future through some magical mishap, trying to find his way back. An alien prince looking to prove himself worthy of an intergalactic crown. A mutant hiding from the world, ready to emerge and prove his allegiance to justice. Maybe you're a spellcaster of some sort, graduated from a school of magic, looking to protect the veil that your order guards for all eternity. Perhaps your underwater realm was disturbed by the fighting above ground, and now you're looking for answers. Whoever you are, you're about to enter a world of trouble. A ship is safest in the harbor, but that's not what ships were built for. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This is a free online game for Roll20, played biweekly on Saturdays (10th & 24th October and so on) at 19:00 GMT for 3 hours. I'm looking for one additional player to fill the spot left by a friend who is going on a hiatus. We play the good guys, which means we turn the bad guys over to the proper authorities without killing anyone. It's an uphill battle against a foe who plays by no such rules. We try not to break the law, and we try our best not to lose our humanity. The hero group is made up of: Bystander (Crime-fighter): A completely normal guy who was forcefully given a cognitive hazard ability. Outside of physical touch, nobody can ever remember him, see him, or hear him. His entire existence is removed from anyone's mind until they once again are faced with his reality. Technically invisible and functionally immortal, if he ever dies, he will revive on the following round. His powers bring him great misfortune, as he can never pay rent for an apartment, buy food, or have a family. Bystander looks forward to the day he confronts whoever gave him this curse. Hearth (Blaster): A fire-based homunculus, whose soul was crafted by a powerful wizard from a bomb, now burns with the fire of justice. Although technically only two months old, it remains to be seen whether or not Hearth will learn what it means to be human. Especially considering she got all her understanding of right and wrong from TV shows. Hearth is looking for a purpose, and the one person who could answer this question seems to be missing. Hexadecimal (Mystic): Part-time streamer, full-time Technomancer. A sorceress with the ability to cast spells with a technology descriptor, hoping to make it big on online platforms. Lifeline (Paragon): When the real 'Lifeline' was encased in the crystalline prison, her criminal sister took up her mantle and continued her legacy. With the power of super strength, flight, healing, and the ability to copy powers from those she touches, Lifeline focuses all her effort on reuniting with her greatest rival.
