They called it Project Pantheon. Using new age technology in hopes of getting the edge on Nazi Germany, the US attempted to bind science and magic into people to create a new breed of human. Unfortunately, it did not work out. Only a small handful of the test subjects walked away with any noticeable changes. Many of the failed test subjects died, but a surprising number continued on with their lives as if nothing had happened. Unbeknownst to the government, the dropouts, at we called them, would pass these Powered genes onto their children, and then onto you. Have you seen the news? Metas, they're calling them. Powered people running around in suits and costumes like they're living in a comic book."[/i] You sit in a bland room. Taken from your life and placed in this box where your powers are useless. All that you can see is a hanging light, a steel desk, and a government goon sitting across from you. Your grandparents had told you a story or two about something like this. How the military tried making superheros to fight in the war. People like the ones in the comics. You didn't think any of it was real. Old people told tall tales all the time, this was probably no different. And then you discovered your powers. You used them. Maybe to help people, maybe to help yourself, but someone was watching, and now your here. Being held against your will god knows where, being [i]asked[/i] to join a crime fighting team. You can't tell if this is the greatest day of your life or the worst. But, you can't deny that Metas are a thing. You have seen the news, you've heard the stories. One or two other people in your town are Metas just like you. You don't even know what your goal would be even if you did say yes. You ask. "We need a response team. We cant send the 5-0 to cuff a man who can shoot fire out of his fingertips. We need special people for special tasks. And we think you're one of them." Will you join the second generation of Project Pantheon?
