3Which, of course, means that all sorts of shit is bound to go wrong.

5The roleplay starts in the year of 2019, 5 years after the capes have scattered the world. Most of them live in Metrocity, however, a CityOfAdventure, where anything can happen. [[SincerityMode No, really.]]

14* CityOfAdventure
15* CodeName: Nearly everyone has a cape identity separate from their civilian one, so this applies to them.
16* DemonicPossession: Demons can apparently be summoned by someone into their own body, which kills the caster but lets the demon puppet an empowered corpse.
17* TheFairFolk: Appear to be a thing, especially since one character’s powers revolve around summoning them.
18* HonestJohnsDealership: Qarin's store.
19* TheLegionsOfHell: Demons are a thing, and there is currently a demon cult in Metrocity. They’re also more than a match for any one cape, which is saying something considering three powers is the norm for player characters.
20* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Par for the course in such a roleplay; Capes are everywhere in this game.
21* PrimalFear: Bogeymen are fear spirits/elementals, each representing a specific fear and possessing extra powers stemming from it. Bogeymen of more prevalent fears are stronger, and vice versa. Draconas/Bogey is “fear of foreign things bringing change”, stated to be a middling fear. Fortunately most of them aren’t on Earth.
22* RuleOfThree: Every character has 3 superpowers.
23* ShoutOut: [[WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} Metrocity.]] Need I say more?
24* SuperheroOrigin: Every player makes a post about what their character has done in the five years leading up to the start of the game, which counts as this.
25* SuperpowerLottery: Everyone gets three rolls on it, which makes this place quite powerful for a cape setting, although it's not cosmic level.
26* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The story is set five years into the future, where technology has... improved, to say the least.
27* YoungerThanTheyLook: Several characters, due to various powers either letting them change shapes, swap bodies, or just plain not age.
