10''[[http://gravefall.deviantart.com/ Gravefall]]'' is a roleplay group based on deviantArt and Skype. It is centered on a [[WorldWarIII Post-Apocalyptic]] former San Francisco, now renamed [[DomedHometown Argent]], and a [[CovertGroup mysterious group]] called Gravefall. To join Gravefall, you must [[ResurrectiveImmortality die and be reborn]], often with cool, powerful, or [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway downright unusual]] [[StockSuperpowersIndex powers]], in order to, presumably, fight to protect the city from [[HiddenVillain mysterious forces]] that assail it from within. [[AnyoneCanDie Everyone dies]]. [[DeathIsCheap Constantly]].
