A few questions. 

1) Are we all "good" guys.
2) Is it going to be a requirement that we all are from the same general area? (Because if someone's in USA and another is in Russia... that might get a little unwieldy) 
3) Are there certain power sets that are off limits?

And not question, merely an FYI,
The vast majority of China's population is on the coast line not inland because of the desert. So if Russia's Siberian tundra provided a good hiding place, so would a lot of parts of China. Just saying.

1)"Good" depends on the perspective and what your character chooses/refuses to do. Is testing alien tech (namely the Husk rods) on criminals good or bad? Especially if the data could lead to some kind of a breakthrough? How do you deal with relatively harmless sect which thinks that the invasion was the punishment of God and the aliens were actually angels on a mission?

2)Characters initially will travel to the same area to join an ambitious task force led by a major surviving corporation. Mainly tasked with recovering and understanding alien tech, it will branch out to deal with a lot of problems and hostilities from other groups.

3)Large scale time travel comes to mind, but something like rewinding ten seconds back could be fine eventually. At the start everyone starts with nearly useless power that's just for show, but it will increase exponentially over time.

About China, well TIL. Time to make an edit.
