SUPERHERO'S [RPG]

Basic lore of the world

---

Origin of forces

Several sources. Genetic mutation - the ability manifests itself, usually in adolescence. Heredity - children of metahumans receive powers, but not necessarily the same ones. Experiments - Military and corporate laboratories create metahumans artificially. Technology - exoskeletons, implants, high-tech weapons - provide metahuman-level capabilities. Otherworldly origin - aliens, people from other worlds.

---

Classification

D-class – weak abilities. Slightly stronger or faster than a normal human.

C-class - lifts a car, withstands machine gun fire.

B-class - destroys a building, cuts down a block.

A-class - shoots down planes, destroys areas.

The S-Class is a threat to cities and armies. Even other heroes fear them.

Society

The world has adapted to the existence of superheroes and supervillains. Clashes regularly occur in major cities. Damages amount to billions. Superpower insurance is a mandatory option in insurance policies.

Governments have created agencies to control metahumans. Some heroes operate officially, while others operate outside the law. Public opinion is divided: some see the heroes as protectors, others as dangerous, uncontrolled elements.

Corporations hire metahumans for security, research, and PR. The most powerful receive contracts worth millions. Some operate independently.

Supervillain prisons exist, but escapes happen regularly. The mortality rate among both heroes and villains is high.

Geography

The United States has the most heroes and villains. It boasts a cult of superheroes, a thriving merch industry, and a thriving news channel industry.

Europe—stricter controls, less self-initiative. Heroes more often work for the state.

Russia and China have a strict licensing system. Disloyal metahumans are suppressed or exploited.

The rest of the world ranges from complete chaos to local dictatorships of the strongest.

Hero Teams

"The Guardians"

Based in: USA, New York Status: Official team, cooperates with the UN

The most famous team on the planet. Seven S- and A-class heroes. They deal with global threats—invasions, disasters, and world-class supervillains. They are funded by several countries and private corporations. Headquartered in a Manhattan skyscraper, their leader is Argus (an S-class, tactical genius, and force multiplier). The Guardians have a high mortality rate—they've had four lineups in ten years.

Vanguard

Based in: European Union, Berlin Status: Official EU Team

The European equivalent of the Guardians. A weaker team, but better organized. Seven S- and A-class heroes. They deal with local threats—superpowered terrorism, illegal metahumans, corporate warfare. They operate strictly by the book. Their leader is Titania (S-class, super-strength, and flight).

Black Mark

Based in: USA, location unknown Status: Secret government program

A US government unit dedicated to the "disposal" of problematic targets. They are comprised of heroes and villains recruited in exchange for freedom or money. They wear black suits with a white mark on the chest. They perform cleanups—eliminate villains, destroy bases.

Next Gen Based in: Los Angeles, USA Status: Guardians Training Program

Candidates for the main squad. Ages 16–21. Undergoing training. Their missions include patrols, extractions, and minor villains. Levels: B and A-Class. Supervised by the Mentor (A-Class, retired former leader of the Guardians). Mortality rate is high—one in three does not reach graduation.

American Heroes Based in: Chicago, USA Status: Official National Team
