Junior Nova! (TWS)
03-12-2016, 01:22 PM
In 1998, the Space Station Galatea exploded, blanketing the Earth in a form of radiation known as 'Quantum'. The very next day, a firefighter named Randel Portman was on the scene trying to stop a school bus fire. When things went wrong, he began absorbing the energy of the fire unexpectedly! Randel became known as the Fireman, and the first of many soon to come superpowered individuals known as Novas.
A decade later, Portman is the frontrunner in the presidental election, and somewhere in California, a Nova named Beatrice Donner figures that kids growing up with superpowers could use a guide to helping them understand their place in the world!
Never mind that nobody's ever actually developed superpowers before the age of 16, and even those are rare. But hey, every kid dreams of that one in a million chance of being a Nova.
Still, an educational video game is developed, but it is never released to market. Apparently shut down post-production by the Aeon Society, that Nova philanthropy group. Nobody knows why. There are rumors that the finished project is out there, secretly distributed on the OpNet to those with Nova potential. But other rumours state that somebody likes to send viruses to kids claiming it's this mysterious game.
The year is now 2013. You are 14 years old. You weren't even born when Galatea exploded, so you figure your chances of becoming a Nova are slim. Er. Slimmer.
Still, there's this message.
It was just sitting there when you woke up, in a new window. No name, or even email address attached to it. You tried messaging back but you got no response.
: Enjoy!
