Archive: City of Heroes-1

Description

Primal Earth is a version of Earth from about 2003 -- though time continues to advance inexorably onwards -- with super-science, advanced technology, magic, mutants, aliens, superhumanly skilled martial artists, and super powers of all kinds. Heroes and Villains have been around for a long, long time, but they have become even more noticeable in the past several decades, and now the infrastructure exists to support super heroes, legally and in other areas... Facilitating these champions as authorized protectors of the peace, rather than as vigilantes. But villains are also hard at work, undermining society, bringing death and destruction to Paragon City and the faraway Rogue Isles, and making the need for heroes to combat them higher than ever.

This setting is based off of the currently-defunct MMO, "City of Heroes". This version predates "Issue 0", the original release of the game, by about a year. Not all of the events from the initial introduction have happened yet, but they will eventually, even if altered due to integration with the Multiverse. As time proceeds, the theme itself will "upgrade" accordingly. The Rogue Isles exist presently but are dealing with internal issues that prevent major interference in Paragon City. Praetorian Earth has its own problems, and interdimensional invasions from there are presently unlikely. Villains from the Rogue Isles coming to Paragon, or people from Praetoria coming to Primal Earth should be rare occurrences for now, though are not impossible.
