-Introduction: The World Is In Your Hands-

- This is an advanced Superhero, free roaming roleplay site. All of the forums connect to make different locations within the city, and every player within this city will be interacting with one another in one massive roleplay world. You will use the different topics to jump from one topic (location) to the next to travel the world.

You will be able to play as either a Sensitive with randomly generated superpowers training as a Hydra operative to save (or destroy) the world, or as a human that lives in Osiris city. Both Sensitives and humans have their advantages and disadvantages.

There are no good or evil paths to choose from in this roleplay, and there are no good or bad sides to join.
Osiris city is neither a happy nor an evil place to live.
It is all up to you to choose for yourself about what you think about the people, and how the roleplay and city will grow. Your actions and the actions of the other players will choose what happens next and where the story will go.

Either the city will become corrupt and be over run with violence and crime, or it will remain a peaceful city full of heroes trying to save the world. This roleplays primary focus is a mystery RP site on the line of the TV show CSI. Your job will be to investigate the random crimes that pop up within the city and either attempt to keep the peace, or help to add to the chaos.

Will the name of the Sensitives be tarnished and smeared in the mud as “evil villains”, or will they rise up, fight for justice and be brought back to their former glory...? -

*Important past history events*

-Part 1: A world not quite our own...-

In an alternate dimension there is a world out there very much like our own that coexists along side us. A world that we can neither reach, nor can we ever see. A world that is full of people, cars, cell phones, airplanes, and computers. A world so much like our own even the people go about their every day lives the same way we do; going through the daily routine of eating, drinking, shopping, and socializing. It is so much like our own world that it is almost perfectly identical in every single way possible...

And even though this world is slightly ahead of us in years, their technology is almost exactly like our own, except for a few minor advancements.

However, there is one major difference between this world and our own that drastically separates the two from each other: Some of the people have gained the ability of harnessing super human powers...
and they aren't afraid to use them…

-Part 2: World War Three-

In the year of 2035,
the world saw its third world war that left the planet on the brink of destruction. Due to a flat lined economy, many countries were being taken over by multi-billion dollar companies that were looking to expand their power and gain control by buying out banks, hospitals, police departments, and other important venues. WWIII is often called the "corporation wars".

A group of private contract organizations all vying for control of the world, armed with highly destructive guns, prototype armor, and millions of dollars to spend on expanding their power across the planet. But these small scale events soon escalated to all out warfare when the companies began to steal, sabotage, and assassinate their competition.
It didn't take long for the government to step in to help stop these "terrorist" acts which soon involved other governments and led to global war.

Hydra corp. was called in to assist the USA in any way they could. Hydra was one of the worlds top bio-engineering companies the country had. Hydra was currently working on the "Zenith project" to create advanced soldiers for the battlefield. With these soldiers fighting on the field it would greatly reduce the casualty rate of dying soldiers. After the war ended 10 years later, Hydra corp. completely scrapped the Zenith project for unknown reasons, even though the government said that the project was a great success...


-Part 3: The TOZ effect-

Due to the massive amounts of pollution released into the air from the war, the Ozone layer suffered greatly and people began getting sick from a pollution based virus. Hydra corp. was the first to come up with a name for the virus and to identify the major cause of the illness through their research. Hydra corp. began a new project to help globally purify the air and named the virus "The Ozone Virus"
(due to its similar effects from being in contact with Ozone pollution for long periods of time).

It didn't take Hydra corp. long to release the air purifier to the public to help cleanse the air of the toxic virus, which is why many people are not sick to this day and are able to breath clean air (free of charge).
In the year 2045, the war came to an end and the Virus' effects greatly increased. Although the war is over, massive amounts of people are still dying from its effects...

-Part 4: The rise of the Sensitives-

What is a Sensitive?
A Sensitive is the name that Hydra corp. (eventually) gave people with unique abilities. The first occurrences with Sensitives started in the mid 1940s (just before WWII ended). It started off as small things like psychics finding missing people; fortune tellers predicting events before they happen; magicians putting on remarkable magic shows; fighter pilots with an extreme tolerance to G force; soldiers in the war single handedly lifting fallen tanks off of their comrades; and police officers getting shot at point blank range with shotguns, getting back up and stopping the criminal without spending a day in the hospital. Scientists said that for the most part they were fancy tricks or spikes in adrenaline that allowed people to perform beyond their normal limitations. But as time went on, more and more Sensitives began to arise with more unique talents and abilities, abilities that couldn't always be explained...

In 1978,
the government launched the "First Earth Battalion" and began research in building "super psychic soldiers" by training Sensitives to focus and use their powers as a super powered special weapons and tactics unit. They were given advanced military training to help prepare them for the field to take down any target without fail. Unfortunately, the project lost funding and was soon shut down shortly after. None of the trained soldiers ever saw real combat, however many super soldiers did arise from this experimental testing, and later put their training to good use...

In 1980,
the world saw their first real life superheroes saving the world. The remnant from the First Earth Battalion had united together to make up their own crime fighting force called "The Vindicators", after failing to adapt back to the everyday struggles of living a normal life. Using the guide lines of their teachings as their code of honor, the group was a great success in stopping crime and assisting the police department in resolving issues. Although many people thought that they were a bunch of crazy yahoos in Halloween costumes, they greatly appreciated the help that they offered. Many companies and corporations began seeking them out for sponsorship and even began funding them to supply them with food, shelter, and equipment in exchange for their protection and assistance...

In 1985,
people began to lose their trust in the so called "superheroes", as a bank rescue went wrong and several of the hostages were killed during the attempted rescue. After the incident happened the government began issuing out stricter guidelines. The government released a 350 page book stating all the new laws and guidelines for the Vindicators to follow. Not all of the heroes were happy about this, but they followed the new law by the book...

In the year 2000,
Hydra corp. formed the Academy to properly train Sensitives under the new government guide lines. Unlike their predecessors, the newly organized heroes did a much better job at keeping the peace, as well as keeping destruction cost down in all simulation tests. Hydra corp. was winning the people's trust back, while at the same time giving the Sensitives a good name in the eyes of the public. However, due to some small complications within the training academy, the project was temporally shut down...


-Part 5: Bringing heroes back to their former glory-

In the year 2045, the Sensitives began using their powers once again as vigilantes and criminals. Although many people did not approve of this choice, the government asked Hydra corp. to re-establish the Academy to help control the Sensitives and bring some type of order back to the world. The government told Hydra that they would fund the entire project and would provide them with anything they needed to make the program a success. Hydra agreed to the terms and began building the new facility in Osiris city.

Hydra has recently decided to use the Sensitives as their personal bodyguards and peace keepers to help resolve riots, terrorist acts, and daily crimes that happen in the city.

The project currently seems to be going well; there have been no reports of any failures, mishaps, or "new Ortega’s" within the past decade. Although the project seems to be growing and showing much promise for success, majority of the people still have a negative attitude towards the Sensitives and Hydra corp., despite their many efforts to win the people's trust back. It will take a long time to change the people's view on the situation before they accept the changes that have been happening all over the world...

The current year is now 2055, and everything seems to be calming down. The war is at a peaceful stand still, Hydra corp. is slowly winning the trust of the people back, the crime rate in the city is at an all time low (thanks to the Academy), and there are rumors that the new batch of highly organized Sensitives are currently being trained by none other than the original Glory, the legendary hero that took Ortega down and helped end the Great war with her extraordinary powers...

-Part 6: Aftermath-The Fall Of Osiris... 

The city is now slightly in ruins after a large scale terrorist attack has destroyed a large portion of the slums, as well parts of the residential district to the north. Several bombs were placed in the abandoned underground tunnels that were originally built for a subway train system, and were then set off, causing key points of the ground to collapse in and cause devastating damage. The authorities were tipped off to the attack, but failed to prevent it from happening due to being overwhelmed with other events. To make matters worse, a group of violent yellow eyed super-humans poured out of Distract Zero when part of the southern wall fell, allowing those trapped inside the quarantined zone to flood out into the streets...

Hundreds died that day, and blood ran through the streets like a crimson river. Rumors are circulating that the yellow eyed monsters were part of Hydra's experiments, a side effect of the TOZ virus. More rumors suggests that there was never a virus and TOZ was just a lie. During the chaos, the fighting somehow made its way to Hydra HQ, about 90% of the employees there were murdered in cold blood, the other 10% either escaped in critical condition, had the day off, or were out on duty elsewhere for a mission. As a result, Hydra corp. is now in ruins with no leader, and the surviving members are still looking for answer for what exactly happened that day.

Eventually, the police and remaining heroes in the city regained control of the situation, and a group of brave heroes traveled into District Zero to find and release a temporary cure to bring the yellow eyed attackers back to their senses, but it was not a perfect cure. The infected still have their strength and are a bit sickly, but for the most part they are functioning normal and attempting to reintegrate with society. The city still has severe damage, and the police and hospitals are overwhelmed with violence and injured citizens.

The Osiris city is currently in the process of reforming and rebuilding, possibly even taking up a new name for the city. The citizens feel that their government leaders has failed them. They feel that the Sensitives and those with powers have abused their abilities. They feel that Hydra should not be restored, and new leadership is needed to restore order and keep the peace. The town's people has become restless and quite vociferous about their demands and views on the direction the city should be taken for the future.

Several private corporations has slowly moved in to set up smaller shops and businesses to take the mega-corporations place, and the city council is in negotiations about what they should do about their current city leaders, the Sensitives, and the FMW project.

At the moment, a proposal has been made to outlaw the use of Superpowers altogether, and to help enforce this new law, activate the Full Metal Warrior project to protect the streets and deal with those that wish to disrupt the peace. The city is currently in a very fragile state and looking for some type of guidance to help them recover. The few Superpowered heroes and vigilantes that are left in the city are laying low, but not completely gone... Rumor has it that a few new faces have been spotted on the streets protecting those in need... But for how long?
