Timeline

[Rabbit]

A timeline to be expanded as the games develop.

• 1914-1918: WWI (The Great War)
  
  
• 1920 - 1941: “Vigilantes and Caped Crusaders”
  During the lull between World Wars the “caped crusader” phenomenon spread across the United States. These do-gooders were typically masked vigilantes battling local mobsters and city crime. Criminals also began to use masks and personas. After 1930 a few low powered mutates joined in the crime fighting though their efforts were not well received by the public. Mutates continued to be untrusted.
  
  
• 1930: “The Blue Skies Event”
  In 1930 a beam of blue light originating from deep space passed over and through the Earth. For less than a minute all the planet was saturated with a blue glow. The origin of the “Blue Skies” event remains a mystery.
  
  Within days of the event rumors began to spread across the globe of people developing superhuman powers and abilities. During those first few months there remained plenty of skeptics, but as eye witness accounts spread the list of believers grew.
  
  “Mutates” are real. The exact number of original mutates may never be known. Those affected are believed to be an extremely small population and gained powers so subtle they were easily hidden. They chose to continue their lives as if nothing had changed. However, in the rarest cases an individual acquired amazing powers and abilities that previously seemed inhumanly possible. Some of these people chose to make their presence known to the world. There was no more room for denial.
