A different view of the world( RP ideas for new players)

Greetings. You must be here to learn about Paragon City and what goes on here. Well thats a complex question with no easy answers. If you want the fairy tales the media feed to the masses then I am sure you can go find some archives at the library and read up on the glory days of the Icons of the city.

If you want the truth, free of the propoganda fed by the powers that be into the mouths of the starving and frightened, then take a seat and Ill introduce myself.

You got the stomach for it then I see. Well good for you kid. They call me the Invisible Falcon. No I am not dead, those rumors have been greatly exagerated by my enemies.

For a long time now our city has suffered. From nigh immortal madmen bent on murdering every citizen to war with extra dimensional alternate versions of humanity, we have watched our fair city be battered and scarred.

You must ask yourself as you go to bed each night, why? Why does so much from so far across the stars and time itself seek out Paragon to fill every childs night with terror that a monster may swallow thier home whole?

It is because of Statesman ofcourse. It always began with him. But I do not mean the man who wears the helmet, not that body once human though it was. No I mean the thing that infests it. An entity timeless and hungry for power, and to be worshipped by the masses of sentient life all throughout existance.

Once in history he was called Zeus, and myth is full of his mecurial actions against Earth and humanity. molesting and murdering us on a whim as if it was his right.

For reasons unclear to me Marcus Cole was special, special enough we have seen evidence that even in other timelines Zeus seeks out this body for a host over all others.

Why? Its difficult to be sure, but I suspect Marcus Cole possessed the unique ability to connect with himself in alternate timelines. Drawing upon a hidden reserve of power as infinite as possibility itself.

Zeus I believe controls all of these avatars and uses them to play us against one another. This war with praetoria is in my eyes as tragic as the civil war in history. Humanity at each others throats for the amusement of a false god.

Those who suspect the truth are hunted without mercy as I once was and nearly lost my life. If not for the heroic actions of Crey following the protocols left for them by the noble Count Alphonse Crey and lead by his loyal wife Clarissa during his time in the coma induced by Sister Psyche at the command of Statesman, then surely Earth would already be lost and humanity throughout existance enslaved for all time.

Crey is corrupt you say. Really? What is the worst thing you know for certain they have done? Is it really worse then any goverment has during a time of war. Is it really worse then when a hat salesman dropped two nuclear bombs on civilian population centers?

No I think not. As I said I am not dead. Crey saved my life that day when Statesman and his lackey crew left me for dead. With my blood crey made thier first generation of clone slugs, and with DNA samples I helped them to aquire from fallen heroes, we made a real difference in halting the heavy toll the rikti war was taking upon us all. To this day no one can look back on that fateful day when the blue and gold of the Paragon Protectors took to the sky and pushed back the invasion that had begun to break through the badly depleted Heroes lines and not give thanks to Crey for saving the world.

So kids thats enough for you to mull over for now I think. Take some time, let it sink in, and if you think you have the heart to hear more come on back and ask.
