"The Battle of New York changed the world, scared the world. All of it - the magic, the mayhem, the monsters - it could no longer be ignored."
Power corrupts.
Thirty years after the world was invaded from above and the Avengers sacrificed their lives to save the universe, people with powers - strange, terrifying powers - are an open secret.
In Hong Kong, some criminals gangs use these gifted as enforcers and security, utilising their talents for their own unsavoury uses, while yet more eke out a living working for others.
In St Petersburg, these superpowered individuals are hunted down like animals, for fear of what they could unleash upon an unsuspecting world.
In Thimphu, a sanctuary is opened for those seeking a safe place to develop and train their abilities, far from persecution, whereas in Tbilisi, they are brought into SHIELD training programs in the hopes of crafting a new Avengers.
New York, Paris, Karachi, London, Johannesburg - in all of these places and more, people struggle to hide, to control, to master their abilities.
You know what they say about absolute power, don't you?
It begins in Hong Kong. Whispers of a powerful girl - too powerful - a girl who could unmake and remake the entire world with a thought. Few know what she can do, only that her ability is devastating. And that makes her valuable.
The triads want to use her. The humans want her dead. The sanctuary wants to protect her. SHIELD wants to find her first.
Let the hunt begin.
RULES
1. You may submit a maximum of two characters. They must be of different genders.
2. All categories marked with a * are optional. The more detail you give me, the more likely they will be accepted!
3. This story will mainly borrow from the Daredevil and Jessica Jones Netflix series in terms of themes and atmospheres. It still takes place in the Marvel universe, but on a "street" level. It also takes place in an AU, where the Avengers won the battle of New York, but died in the process. Thus, the events of TWS, TDW, and IM3 did not occur.
4. Please keep your character's abilities to a sensible level! There is only one "story breaker" character present, so please give your characters drawbacks and weaknesses.
5. Please, have fun! If you have read these rules, put your character's theme song and their surname in the subject line of your PM. Please do PM these submissions to me, or if you have any questions!
