In the year 2012, a strange, celestial being was sighted in Earth's lunar orbit. In a collaborative effort, the United States, Russia and Japan made an ill fated attempt to contact it using the international space station.

The being, seemingly angered by this act, destroyed the station, and using some strange gravitiational pull of its own, began directing meteors and comets towards Earth's surface.

After three days of intense deliberation, the countries of The United States, Russia, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom deployed nuclear weaponry against the being, supposedly destroying it.

However, the being exploded in a last ditch counterattack, reigning fire on several of the major cities of the world, completely obliterating New York, London, and Tokyo in the process. Millions died in the explosionas and ensuing fires.

The campaign is set two years later in 2014, as the world has begun to return to a state of relative normalcy. However, several child survivors, between the ages of 14 and 17, of the most violently affected areas have begun to display strange powers.

Also, beasts similar to, but not as powerful as the being who first attacked the earth have recently been sighted on the planet's surface itself. They have caused only minor damage so far, but who can tell their true intentions.

In response to these creatures, a multigovernment funded organization has sponsored research on the "gifted" children. It is called The Human Divinity Project, and is housed in a research facility underneath the North Polar Ice cap.

The players will be the children taken in by the Human Divinity Project. They may, if so desired, start play before being contacted by the HDP's agents, and may exhibit any supernatural powers.

I am looking for 4-6 players.

-We will be using the 2nd edition Mutants and Masterminds rules
-Power Level is 10
-Powers stem from a supernatural mutation (aka no magic, aliens, gun toting non supernatural vigilantes, robots, or battlesuits)
-The characters are in the age range of 14-17.
-I want very fleshed out characters (backstories, firm personalities, etc. Pictures are nice as well).
-PM me with any questions or post them here.

I'm definately interested. I don't get many chances to play Mutants and Masterminds normally, which makes me sad since I like the system very much.

I'm interested too, I'll start working on a character this week. I already have a general idea of his power, probably healing, corrosion, gravity control and fly. Not sure about his personality yet, but I think I'll play him as a street kid with an attitude.

I'm totally new to the system, so I might need you to go over my sheets once I make them, in detail, and correct me where I mess up.

For a character, I'm looking at a metamorph.

Nice to meet you all.

I've been searching for a MnM 2e game for a while and I think this one will do nicely, was thinking of a Drain/paralysis style character.

Do we have an esrb rating for this game? Because I'm leaning towards a character who's quite fond of things that are illegal in America but not other places ;)

P.S.: First post! Weee!

I'd like to put myself forward. Possibly as a Teleporter or a Brick, however, I'm a novice to M&M - got the rules, but never actually played! :x-eyed:

Ummm...with the ESRB rating thingy, go for it if you want. I'm planning on it being a very animeish game, and that usually leads to some "mature" subject matter.

I'll put up the forum request later today.

Powerwise, I was thinking cosmic energy control with a bit of enhanced strength and dex. I have some basic ideas for a backstory/personality but would like to flesh them out a bit more before putting them up.
