"There is good and there is evil. Right and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we're blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times when sense can be made, when meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself."
Heroes: The RPG
For centuries, humankind has had a secret. A secret that, if revealed, would change the world as we know it, and shake the very foundation of what it is to be "human."
We have been evolving, and that evolution has granted us abilities far beyond our fellow men and women. What would usually be deemed impossible is, in truth, far from it. Teleportation. Levitation. Telepathy. Regeneration. Telekinesis.
Over time, some of these individuals have come together, pooling their resources and their fantastic abilities together to serve certain goals. The Company has tracked dangerous 'specials' for decades, capturing and, if necessary, eliminating them so that the rest of the world can be safe, oblivious to who walks among them, and what those people are capable of.
Now the government has been brought into it, thanks to Nathan Petrelli. Now Homeland Security are the ones hunting the individuals with superpowers, though their tactics are more extreme then The Company's. They are locking up all specials and keeping them prisoner against their will and without crime to hold against them. Rebel groups are sprouting up everywhere in retaliation of the governments actions.
There are countless other special individuals all over the globe, more or less keeping their abilities secret. Which side, if any, will they take? More importantly, which side will you take?
"And if we have the strength to be honest, then what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection, bearing witness to the duality of life. And each one of us is capable of both the dark and the light, of good and evil, of either, of all. And destiny, while marching ever in our direction, can be rerouted by the choices we make. By the love we hold onto, and the promises we keep."

Heroes: The RPG is an active play-by-post role-playing forum that has been successfully running for over two years. We're open to all levels of writing ability, and knowledge of the show is in no way required to join the game. We're always looking for new members, and it's always easy to hop into the game, but with the start of our own Volume Four: Fugitives, it's an especially good time to join, for anyone from never-having-role-played to literate RPer, and from never-watched-the-show to hardcore Heroes fan.
