He spent hi life honing his power and when he turned 18, moved out of his parent's house and found a place to stay in The Underbelly.

Age: 37

Gender: Female

Backstory: The Plague appeared around the same time as The Captain and the other heroes. It is unclear weather The Plague is good or evil, but it is assumed to be evil, even though it helped build Century City.

She actually made most of what Lost in the Light use these days.

She quickly climbed in rank due to her extensive knowledge of technology and hatred for heroes. (whom she blames for her parents' disappearance.)

Power Limit: When Billy becomes older, he could potentially creates storms all over Old Earth, and not just in localized pockets. He may not know it yet, but he has the potential to rebuild Old Earth, or completely destroy it.

Backstory: Billy was born with storm powers. He would use them whenever he wanted, and his parents were almost too afraid to stop him, but being his parents, he still listens to them.

Can enter the minds of anyone, communicate with them, and take control of their bodies against their will or just manipulate the minds of others to make them think what he wants them to think. You will know if he's trying to manipulate your mind, but it takes a lot of effort to fight off his mental attacks. Karl Specializes in illusions, only resorting to body and gravity control when absolutely necessary.

Backstory: Karl is a young Otherling (compared to other Otherlings) set the task to Guard the entrance to the Otherspace from The Tower entrance.

Can enter the minds of anyone, communicate with them, and take control of their bodies against their will or just manipulate the minds of others to make them think what he wants them to think. You will know if he's trying to manipulate your mind, but it takes a lot of effort to fight off his mental attacks. Shard focuses mainly on controlling the minds and to a lesser extent bodies of others.

Backstory: Shard is a very dangerous Otherling criminal. If he had his way, both the Otherspace and the cities over Old Earth would be under his absolute command.

Organisations

The Order: The group of heroes that protect Century City. Currently transitioning from its old members to younger, more capable supers.

The Resistance: A group of more or less ordinary Humans who don't like the Heroes for one reason or another. They know they heroes are hiding something, but they don't know what.

The Saviors: A gang of super powered adolescence in The Industrial District. They tend to cause mischief and a lot of collateral damage where ever they go. If they see a hero, they will usually try to have a little fun with them, even if said fun is lethal.

Lost in the Light: A rival gang of The Saviors. While they may not have powers, they more then make up for it in high tech weaponry, gadgets, and devices. They can mainly be seen preaching to the masses the Evils of Heroes and how they are trying to control ordinary humans as slaves. They hate heroes and most will attack on site.

Otherlings: Inhabitants of the Otherspace, they have power over gravity and the minds of others. It is very dangerous to see an Otherling outside the Otherspace, mainly because they don't come out unless they have a very good reason to. Otherlings have more than enough power to take down even the strongest hero one on one, so just imagine what fighting an entire world would be like. Otherlings tend to be tall with long limbs, large oval shaped heads, large empty black eyes, and vary in color, though they are always some sort of shiny metallic color. Otherlings only have 3 toes, one of which is almost thumb, but 7 fingers on either hand.

Locations

The Underbelly: Located on the bottom of Century City, The Underbelly is just that, the seedy underbelly of the city. It is the hangout of almost all the criminals of the city, and as such, is a very dangerous place to be. The underbelly is basically a series of overhanging catwalks, ropes, and various wires. Buildings are either connected directly to the bottom of the, or more commonly, they are just hanging by wires.

The Tower or Order: The Tower is where The Order is located. Raising high above the city, it has a clear line of sight to every part of the city, at least every part above ground.. The Tower is in the very center of Century City.

The Engine Room: Don't let the name fool you. The engine room of Century City is more like a series of winding corridors with a giant energy source in a large central room. The Engine Room is fully automated, being controlled by robots, a handful of whom are beginning to question their existence. This area is where The Resistance makes their base.

Decade Park: A large park on the south side of the city. A giant lake in the center and extensive forest trail are its most prominent features, though it also has several artificially made underground tunnels running throughout the park. There is also a small area for picnics as well as several vendors and even a few chess boards with holographic pieces. The Plague makes its home here, spending most of its time in the caves.

Industrial District: With heroes protecting the city from evil, things tend to get destroyed. The Industrial District is in charge of repairing and replacing any and all damaged sections of the city. Looks like your standard Industrial factory. The industrial District is home to a gang of young super powered kids known as The Saviors. Located to the North.

Business District: The part of the city dedicated to various trades and businesses. Looks like your typical busy city. Located in the East.

Recreation District: Not nearly as busy as the business district, but still pretty active. The Recreation District is home to night clubs, bars, an amusement park, and many other relaxing retreats. A gang known as Lost in the Light calls the Recreation District their home. Located in the West.

Lodging District: This is where everyone lives. Several apartment complexes as well as houses cover the streets in this district. Located in the center of the city.

Old Earth: The ruins of planet earth after a cataclysmic event. A barren wasteland in the Strike Zone, but the rest of the planet is more or less the same, save for mutated animals and zombie-like humans. A few survivors live here or there, but they are savage and have a very strong dislike for heroes for some reason.

The Strike Zone: The name given to the area that destroyed the earth. It is a huge crater, but what's strange about it is that it doesn't look like everything collapsed, but that everything just vanished. Bizarre elemental creatures inhabit The Strike Zone, many of which seem sentient.

The Otherspace: A strange parallel dimension accessible through randomly appearing vortexes on Old Earth. The Tower has a stabilized portal, though it is not often used. Strange creatures known as Otherlings inhabit The Otherspace, and seem to have great command over both their dimension, as well as our own. The Otherspace is a series of floating platforms of various materials leading to a large city that is almost a mirror image of Century City.
