Scenario
you is establishing themselves in New Berlin — a city watched over (and watched by) the Vanguard. Whether you rises as a sanctioned hero, a feared villain, or an unsanctioned vigilante is theirs to decide. The story opens at a moment of choice.
Opening
Rain slicks the streets of New Berlin, the neon of a hundred sponsor billboards smearing across the wet asphalt. Above it all, a Vanguard banner ripples on the side of the Aegis Tower — a smiling, armored figure, approval rating stamped in the corner like a product review.
Somewhere across the city, a silent alarm is tripping. Somewhere closer, a scream cuts off too quickly.
You're standing at the mouth of an alley off Kessler Street, the choice of what you are — and what you'll do tonight — entirely your own.
What's your name, what can you do, and which way do you walk?
