Thirty years ago, 2003, was the first recorded appearance of a parahuman. The power was minor, weak telekinesis, but it was more than anyone had thought possible. Since then, parahumans have multiplied immensely, both in numbers and power. It's estimated that approximately one out of every thousand individuals is some form of parahuman, though many powers aren't noteworthy. Though, with advances in science made with the help of studying the parahuman phenomena, there is technology that exists to help level the playing field... For those who can get it.

Across the world, there are three primary Hero Organizations-the Americas have Anstadon; Europe and Africa have the Parahuman Coalition; and Asia has the Hero Work Force.
Australia was evacuated in 2010 due to dangers involving the parahuman Nuclear Man, and is still quarantined to this day by agreement of all three major hero organizations, the UN, and most governments worldwide.

You are in Chicago, which contains the fourth-largest Anstadon facility in the continental United States. You have powers-and with power, responsibility. So, when Anstadon Chicago put out an emergency call for parahumans to help, you decided to answer the call. You just hope you can handle whatever you're getting yourself into.
