This is Ten Ravine.
We are an on-line, collaborative role-playing environment set to an original modern-based theme that is a combination of superhero with some urban fantasy elements.
We exist in a persistent, on-line environment known as a MUSH which allows for more interaction and development throughout our world and theme through player involvement and direction. Our focus is on storytelling and collaborative style role-play utilizing a system of gaming rules designed for this environment commonly known as FS3.
Our Theme
Two years ago was the 10 Ravine Incident; commonly called the Detroit City Attack. It is unclear exactly what it was but the official indication is that it was a terrorist attack. As of yet, no group has truly claimed responsibility. What is known is that was a biological attack that rocked the city of Detroit in 2018, unleashing a bio-agent that fell as rain over the city for several weeks. Twenty percent of the population outright died from the agent during this storm. Likewise, an unprecedented number of individuals were transformed into something beyond human; grotesques and oddities, these altered humans have become second class citizens. Segregated into the Altered State (formerly the Eastern Market area of Detroit), even as the city continues to recover from the 10 Ravine Incident, they try to make new lives for them selves.
Then, nearly two years later it happened, there arose a powered individual. During the preceding summer, there was the spread of what has come to be known as the Ravine Virus. Individuals previously unaffected by the Detroit City Attack have been coming down with a deteriorating, deadly virus. And then it happened; a regular human as far as anyone knows that showed amazing powers and feats, stopping three gunmen demanding medication from the Harding Clinic at the Altered State. A turn for the city, a sign of hope. Only to be marred two months later by the Woodward Transit Center Massacre, whereby a similar such individual rampaged at the terminal, killing 10 and wounding dozens more before being put down by local authorities.
You, the Player
This is where you come in. Players take on the personas of characters inflicted with super powers. Gifted these abilities somehow during the Detroit City Attack, they have come at a price. You are driven to use powers/manifest your powers or being to spiral down a path of apathy. Worse, some individuals are consumed by the power until all control is lost and one is but a primal force bent on ravaging humanity. You have abilities, the infliction drives you to use them, use them too much and succumb completely to the primal force that is now in your body.
