About the adventure
There are people in the world that are exceptional. Standing tall and leading the charge into the future. These people can shape the course of a country or even the world with their deeds or words. There are people who change the way we think about each other, for good or ill. These people shape the way the majority of the population live out their lives. Exceptional people that have shaped the path of the human race for centuries. Truly first among all of us. And then, there are the Nova. Beings that transcend the boundaries of “normal humans”. That view the universe as a blank canvas on which to paint a masterpiece, not a set thing governed by science. They represent limitless possibilities to shape the world. But that power is a heavy burden to bear. Just because you can cure every disease on earth with a flick of the finger, should you? Would you? Would you use your power to better the lives of all the people on Earth? Or rule it as an unopposed dictator? After the Dark Blight began to enter worlds, The Cosmic Beings called a Moot, wherein they discussed the events surrounding the dead universes that are being overrun by the Blight. No living being outside that Moot was privy to what was said, but after the Moots conclusion the Cosmic Beings adjourned and for eons everything was calm and orderly with no sign of the Blight. Until now….

About me
I ran my first game when I was 8 years old. It was a free form DnD style game I ran for a bunch of friends at a YMCA Camp. I have always been happiest in my life when I was running games, it is a creative outlet that I focus my hope on for a brighter future. My games revolve around hope and progress. I tell stories that are meant to be a light in an otherwise dark world. But make no mistake, I am not all sunshine and unicorns all the time, there will be times in my games when your heart will feel like it will never know warmth again. But it is always calculated to engineer a low that make the highs that much better. I have no issues running high level games, in fact I love the high-level stuff because the game pivots from - "How are we going to do a thing?" to "What are the consequences of us doing a thing?". I find that way more compelling and fun. I added my 3 rules to my profile, but here is the tl;dr 1) We are a team, no one will betray the party. We all respect each other. 2) We are working to make a story together, it is not GM vs. Player. 3) THE PLAYERS ARE SUPPOSTED TO WIN! This a game, we are all here to have fun.

Creating your character
Creation will be done at session 0. Ideally I would love all of us to make our characters together for the sake of group cohesion. But I also understand that may be difficult. I use the Aberrant mechanics as the base system, but with modifications. Creation is a point buy system, so all players are starting with equal footing. Players are asked to come with an idea of what super powers they would like. I recommend that you go big. This is a game of massive scale and the power level will grow considerably. It is best for players to not limit themselves in their power choice. Go big or go home. I will work with and guide all players personally in the creation, I have been playing this game a long time and I have character gen down to a science. As long as you as a player comes to the table with a basic idea we can make it work. You will have 3 - 5 "Super Powers" those powers will be chosen ideally to be synergistic with each other, and I will help you do that. Please come with a generic concept in mind for your powers, but please get as detailed a background for your character as you like. The setting is modern day Earth. But keep in mind no one has powers yet.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need accounts on both Roll20 and Discord. Please ensure you have established your account before gametime. Join us on Discord! https://discord.gg/FPNXMk6Pj Make an account on Roll20 if you need one: https://roll20.net I also ask that players come to the game with a few ideas of super powers they would like to use. Things like, flight or shot laser beams from your eyes. Come with ideas and we will hammer things out at Session Zero.
What Kelly brings to the table
Games will have a larger than life feel. I will provide challenges and situations that will challenge, but not overwhelm the players. Games will be packed with things to do, and in some cases, fight. The Rule of Cool is the highest authority If a character takes an action that "Technically" shouldn't work but is amazing, the spirit of the story will be maintained. I would rather say "Yes!", than "No!" The story will be a long and epic adventure. Each session will have it's own story, but it will serve the larger narrative.
Homebrew rules
I use the base games of Aberrant, but I do not use the Taint system. I have simply removed it from the game and everything that goes with it. I will give you the details in Session Zero on how removing taint will effect character creation. The standard Nova is created with 30 Nova Points. I increase that to 50 points at character creation.

How Kelly creates a safe table
My 3 Laws of Roleplaying: 1) We are a team, no one will betray the party. We all respect each other, both in and out of character. 2) We are working to make a story together, it is not GM vs. Player. 3) THE PLAYERS ARE SUPPOSTED TO WIN! This a game, we are all here to have fun. We will create and agree on Lines and Veils during Session Zero. I will share the basic document I created and allow players to add and remove items from that list. When you are confirmed as joining the game I will send you a link to the document. As part of awarding experience we will discuss the session and give aftercare in case the session was intense. If at any point you need to stop the action for any reason X, N, & O's cards will be built into Roll20, as well as Discord. You safety and well being is my most important concern. Please come and see me at any point if you have any issues. One break will be taken at midpoint for 15 minutes. Depending on the flow of the game that can be a little early or late.
