The year is 2032 AD. Ten years ago, a massive deposit of an unique metal was found deep within the sands of Sahara. Stumbled over by chance, this ore, quickly named Adamantium, was undetectable by any means then known to humanity. Adamantium quickly became known as a miracle metal, allowing countless breakthroughs in every scientific field. Tensions rose over the ownership of the deposits, and in the end, an unique solution was proposed and passed - to create an independent city-state which would regulate adamantium's extraction and exports. That city was called Haven. Haven was the most advanced city on Earth. It was the best city for the best. Every top individual or corporation moved there, and it became the unofficial capital of the city. To be allowed to live within Haven would be a grand achievement for any individual. In a few short years, humanity entered the so called Age of Adamantium.

Four months ago, apocalypse began. Humanity did not know where they came from, but they quickly saw how hopelessly outmatched they were. The alien invaders did not come with starships, but a mere squad of twelve nearly annihilated all human life on earth. Humans were saved by what could best be called... superheroes. Appearing out of nowhere, those champions of... unknown affiliation... could match and eventually overpower the aliens.

After three months, the alien invaders lay defeated. Saying their goodbyes, the heroes stepped through recently discovered portal deep within the adamantite deposits, through which the aliens came. Named the Apocalypse Gate, the heroes destroyed it as they left Earth to pursue vengeance, abandoning the remnants of humanity to fend for themselves.

Soon after Apocalypse Gate's destruction, people began to... awaken, become just a little bit stronger, faster and smarter, as well as discovering faint magical abilities, much akin to those some of the heroes used, just on a far grander scale. Out of 8 billion souls, no more than 250 million remain. And those who remained, "The Abandoned" all had different ideas how the world should be rebuilt, if at all. The world was now a clean slate, for the ambitious to rebuild.

Honestly, I had little success in pure free-roam RPs as they are a pain to manage and have everyone engaged. Nor this will be a good guys vs. bad guys scenario because right and wrong will all be quite relative. The characters will belong to a group, but how they will steer it and what choices they make will impact it's development. For example, it's up to the characters to decide how to deal with a lunatic who went on a rampage after his awakening. And just as it happens, you could use this opportunity to test certain alien tech on that person which WILL turn him into a rampaging monstrosity, just so you can observe the effects up close and try to figure out how to reverse (engineer) the process.

Hiiii~~!!

K, so like we're "The Abandoned" right? Like, we are already part of a scientific (non)sanctioned team or just peeps from different departments? Or like is "Abandoned" just the general term for the magical peeps/groups trying to fight each other off for world domination/destruction? O,o!!

"The Abandoned" is what the surviving humans call themselves, at least a big part of them. Since not everyone is happy that big darn heroes left to pursue after the aliens instead of staying with them. Because humans.

The players will join a sort of task force initiated by a major surviving corporation to find, reverse-engineer and apply alien tech to restore the world. Along the way, there will be self-proclaimed messiahs, cults, warlords gangs and various other stuff that is very far away from human unity.

Nah, all characters will travel to the meeting point one way or another, so no one knows anyone firsthand.
