Evangelists called it the rapture. The beginning of the end of civilization. Fire had fallen from the skies. Irradiated meteors, they said, crashing through the earth's atmosphere from an indeterminable source. Blackouts rolled over big cities while nuclear power plants had meltdowns in several different individual countries.... Casualties were at a million, and the population of smaller or developing countries were all but wiped out.

Those of us who were effected by this attack from the heavens first-hand and lived... were changed forever. We gained... powers and abnormalities. Each different then the last... Some of us became violent, overcome by primal rage. Some of us grew intelligent... too intelligent for our own good. Other were driven to the brink of madness...

The crime rate raised considerably as well as a strange trend of costume wearing vigilantes with strange and amazing powers. That's right, Super heroes and villains were no longer just the stuff of comic books...

The Setting: New York City (of course). Politicians are battling it out on whether or not the super heroes are good for the city while a new crime syndicate called the Zhombeys, consisting only on those physically and mentally maimed by the Rapture, ravage the streets on their way up to power and ex-super villain runs for governor. Police forces are forced to turn to outside help, while trying to protect civilians from getting caught in the crossfire of "Good and Evil".

Information needed:

Name:
Alias(if they have one):
Alignment: "Good", "Evil", or "neutral" (If you haven't decided yet, just put neutral, we'll figure it out).
Powers/Strengths:
Weaknesses:(Their weaknesses have to be equivalent to their power/strengths. I don't want to see any super strong super heroes who can fly, shoot lasers, and dodge bullets with their only weakness being a fucking rare rock)
And whatever else you think is important. e.g. Physical description, background, age, gender, etc.

Give other characters a chance to respond before you do anything to them. Exceptions can be made if you've asked and/or received permission.

Thank SB for giving me this project a few months ago.
