Welcome to Electric City, vagabond. Here, the endless nights are fueled by neon dreams, the streets fogged with arcane temptation. But don't try to look beyond the smoke...you might start to realize you've seen it all before...
Neo York, more commonly referred to as Electric City. A sky-metropolis suspended above the radioactive ruins of old New York, destroyed in the nuclear war that ravaged the planet and gifted survivors with mutant superpowers. Beyond the city dome lies an uninhabitable wasteland, crawling with radiation. But here, within Electric City's confines, it is safe. Unpolluted.
Or so they say.
The superhero capital of the world, Electric City proudly hosts the international headquarters of Cronus Incorporated—C Corp for short. A megacorporation with fingers in every pie, C Corp dominates the superhero industry while puppeteering the city with a corrupt hand. Politicians, bought and paid for, have outlawed vigilantes, allowing crime to flourish beneath the neon glow.
Yet beneath the smog that blights the streets, there's almost a glimmer of something…
Maybe it's nothing. Another mirage in a city of mirages. But maybe it isn't…
Maybe it's a spark of hope.
Once C Corp's premier superhero team, Hydra was dedicated to protecting Electric City from existential threats. Their faces gracing every magazine cover, their names dominating every headline, they were C Corp's shining jewel.
Hydra was meant to be invincible. Unstoppable. You know the legend: cut off one head and two more take its place. But the members of Hydra came too close to the truth, glimpsed something they shouldn't have. So C Corp did what it does best—they eliminated the threat.
Hydra was framed for the murder of Electric City's mayor, declared supervillains by every news outlet, stripped of their crimefighting licenses. They fled to the city's outskirts to escape C Corp's iron grip. But in their escape, they took something.
The Kairos Implant, a device capable of rewinding and rewriting time itself. The key to C Corp's stranglehold on the city. C Corp had become time gods.
And now, so has Hydra.
In 2500, the megacorporation C Corp controls the superhero industry with an iron fist. Vigilantes have been outlawed, and crime runs rampant through the neon-soaked streets of Electric City as villains terrorize the populace. Meanwhile, a conflict brews beneath the surface as civilians begin questioning the status quo. Where do you stand in the fight for the city?
PROJECT HYDRA is a 21+ semi appless superpowers rp with a mun cap of 20. This roleplay will explore the corruption and hunger that blooms from power, the perils of playing god, and the chaos of time loops and parallel timelines.
