[INDENT]Sensation & Wonder is a roleplay based upon the structures and mechanics of previous games run under the Absolute Comics banner but with a goal of overcoming the past games' biggest weakness; a lack of collaborative writing. As such, Sensation & Wonder is a collaborative linear sandbox roleplay that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favourite DC and Marvel characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favourite heroes to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact, the goal of the RP is for players to take their favourite characters and re-imagine them to tell stories together. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their favourite characters and tell stories in collaboration with other players in order to develop and grow the world.

How heavily mixed these elements are is dependent upon the players as the world and its lore is shaped by you and your stories. Do Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark know each other? Has Lady Shiva trained with Danny Rand? Have Thor and Superman gone toe to toe? These are questions for you to ask yourself and they can only be answered as the RP unfolds![/INDENT][/COLOR][/INDENT]

[INDENT]Heroes have been a part of our culture since the dawn of time. Each and every culture passed down tales of the mortal and the immortal, their struggles and inevitable triumphs over the forces of evil. Tales of honour, of love, of defeat, deception and even betrayal. We have myths, legends and numerous amounts of lore detailing the feats and downfalls of each of these heroes. When one mentions heroes, names of classical figures come to mind but this world is and always has been home to more.

No one can be sure of the first time alien life visited Earth, it may have been before recorded history, it may have been within the last century. One thing can be sure, that before the last decade we had all but forgotten they had been here before and they returned with fervour. The names of the first superheroes had all but been forgotten, those who fought in the great wars and worked behind enemy lines in times of tension. But, those who rose to push back the alien forces at the beginning of the decade became immortalized as [color=915356][B]THE JUSTICE LEAGUE[/B][/color]. United by a common cause, these remarkable individuals put their differences aside and learned to work together, overcoming the single greatest threat to mankind this world had seen to date.

And the world's eyes were once again opened.

Costumed heroes once thought to be urban legends and menaces by the press and authorities alike suddenly took on a new reverence in the eyes of the public and so their names went from being spoken in hushed whispers to exclaimed excitedly as they flew overhead. With the emergence of the Justice League and the predominance of these masked heroes, so too did their foes become more and more ostentatious. Escalation and accountability for these heroes began to become a hot button topic and so [color=915356][B]THE AVENGERS[/B][/color] were put forth to calm the people. A group of government-sanctioned heroes, hand-picked and selected based on their merits and abilities, these heroes' identities were securely registered with the United Nations and are held accountable for their actions beneath a mask.

Over the last few years, the rosters of both teams have changed, some have even swapped from one team to the other and while they are by no means adversaries, the two do operate under different means. Aliens invasions and killer death robots have come and gone, but one thing remains certain, the Era of the Superhero is here to stay.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/INDENT]

Peggy Carter would go to help form the organization, eventually leaving to become the first Director of SHIELD in the 1950s, with the UK withdrawing from ARGUS. Unlike SHIELD, ARGUS remains in the shadows. Its budget and mere existence are hidden behind copious amounts of red tape. While they only have jurisdiction within the United States they often infiltrate other countries to complete their objectives.

In more recent years under the command of Amanda Waller, ARGUS follows a "U.S. First" methodology, doing whatever it takes to protect the planet and more importantly; the United States.

Built-in the spirit of international cooperation it is a specially designed task force to handle issues that individual member states cannot, without having to wade through the bureaucratic red tape often associated with legal assistance in other countries.

They have been on the cutting edge of technological advancement and have deployed superpower individuals since their inception of the 50s, with the use of the Howling Commandos led by the then Captain Steve Rogers. They have continued to grow through the years, with 189 member states contributing to S.H.I.E.L.D in funding, research and personnel. Able to respond to disturbances all over the world in a matter of minutes, their new Helicarrier program aims to have mobile bases available in every corner of the world should the situation arise.

While it was later proven that no matter who had gotten involved the situation would likely have ended the same way, public outcry still demanded some form of accountability.  

The United Nations wrote the Vigilante Registration Act that states if an Official Body takes responsibility for a situation any vigilante or 'heroic' action must be sanctioned by them or registered and on retainer with S.H.I.E.L.D. 

Official Bodies constitute Police Forces, Fire Services, Government Officials, Hospitals etc.[/COLOR][/INDENT][/INDENT]
