Campaign Idea - Firesign

[white]

New Campaign Idea.
Firesign

World roughly similar to a possible future of Agency X (Tommahawks game) – superhumans exist, but aren’t common knowledge, but the Soviet Union lost the cold war, and traces of Cyberpunk filter in – in the 1980s many capitalist countries lost control of there economies to multinational ‘megacorps’ etc.

Set 50 or 60 years into a dark future, much of the feared cyberpunk models of the future have come true, but there have been suprising reactions against them as well.

As society is recovering in the aftermath of world war three, the time has finally come for the super humans and mutants of the world to escape there oppression and create new societies on the ashes of the old.

I know it’s a bit vague now, but I’ve got quite a bit of background written for this, mainly drawing on elements of Cyberpunk, (esp Mangas like ghost in the shell), Bubblegum Crisis, X – men, the Wildstorm universe, and post apocalypse settings like Fallout and 2000AD.

Most character types could fit, but Id like to see a few power armour types.
Any questions / more info required or ideas please reply on thread, or pm, ill get back in a couple of days at most
Ill add a couple more posts myself, with more definite stuff when I’ve got time to post it.

well, this sounds like fun (seen as i am in Agency X) i am just interested at this point to see what character creation is going to be like...also i'd like to know are supernatural ideas going to be allowed? Like magic or Leprachauns or the such?

Thanks fof reply MC.
Bear with me 'cos this is a bit convoluted.
1) Abberent included the idea that an spb's (superpowered being's) powers are partially based on there psychology.
According to Carl Jung all the things that turn up in stories have a psychological significance (are archetypes), so therefore its quite reasonable for an spb to manifest powers that link to the things from old stories - magic, leprachauns, especially if the spb in question identifys with a particular archetype etc.

2) One of the under used themes in Cyberpunk is the rise of neo - tribalism. Kind of a return of ancient cultures with a techno twist. Ancient cultures is where magic and so on comes from...

3) Alternate dimensions, alien races (remember thor?), etc - anythings possible.

(In short yes, just come up with a way to justify it)
I would prefer to see character ideas before I set specific limits for character creation.

Will we be using MSH? If not then
1]I will need the rulebooks for the new system,

or

2] I will not be able to come up with the stats for myself.

It'll be using MSH, probably with a minor adjustment (some kind of sanity score, I havent decided how to incorporate it.)
