[[folder: Brand New Day]]
[[quoteblock]]It was an age of heroes. For decades, Superheroes protected the world, leading through example and standing for something other than themselves. With these new myths and icons opening the door, the world was able to put the past behind it and move on to greener pastures. What was once thought of as science fiction or fantasy became reality. Space travel was a fact of life. New races both native to Earth and from afar were popping out of the woodwork and establishing relations with humanity almost daily. All while their heroes continued to keep the peace. It was like paradise, and almost seemed too good to be true. \\\
But perhaps it was. Ever since the world's greatest hero The Saint was murdered three years ago, the peace that he and the other heroes had helped to establish had been ripped off like a bandaid. Prohuman purists and radical nonhuman organizations popped out of the woodwork, and the events of the last year have only made things worse. The destruction of Supercity led to a renewed assault against nonhumans and superhumans alike, calling for their heads as they looked for someone to blame. \\\
If that weren't enough, the son of Leon Leopold, the Saint's greatest archenemy popped out of the woodwork as the heir apparent, taking over his late father's fortune and using it to fuel the rebuilding of Super City as well as a highly publicized Presidential campaign. So far it hasn't been clear what he plans to base his campaign around, but if he's anything like his father, it probably isn't anything pleasant. \\\
But life goes on. The Protectors and the Foundation still do their best to protect and serve, even if the public becomes increasingly more hostile to them by the day. But with the general population becoming ever more dissatisfied with such large public groups, something needed to give. In the wake of Supercity's destruction, those most involved in the events that followed decided that the Protectors and Foundation weren't enough. That what was needed was something new. A group that could work in the shadows, beneath the surface and out of the public eye. That could tackle the problems that others couldn't handle. In the year that followed, others answered the call, joining their ranks as they prepared themselves for what was to come. \\\
