We'll allow characters similar to existing ones but don't straight up make Spiderman or something. 50 years ago, heroes arose as individuals gained abilities beyond human limits. It started with a 7-member hero team led by the great Apex, a man of incredible power and role model to all. However, as they aged, and some died, politics and corporatism infested heroism, transforming heroism into something lacking emotion rather than genuine actions. This was known as The Whiplash. Apex publicly spoke out against this devolving of heroism, but his words fell on deaf ears.Today, heroism is a regulated system requiring licenses. Vigilantes are considered near as bad as villains and are actively hunted. Schools and agencies push their own independent agendas to benefit themselves, and the hero world is split into two major factions: The Legacy League: The prestigious and corporate descendant of Apex's original team. They control a smaller, highly influential group of heroes who make more money. They even cover accidental damages via paid insurance. The International Heroes Group: A government-approved and UN funded public organization. They hold a large percentage of heroes and are very regulatory, but pay decently if you follow their strict guidelines. They are highly popular among street tier heroes. As of right now, heroism is highly split between vigilantes, organized groups, and registered independents.
