The Story So Far: A Summary of Events

Starting all the way back in 2016, the world introduced it's first superhero, Everything-Man, the most powerful and angry person on the planet. Born in Starport City among gang violence, corruption, and daily tragedies made him jaded and quite fed up with just about everything. When he first got his powers he decided to pursue the path of justice though by any means necessary much to others dismay and horror.   His main objective was to take the gang known as the Void, the most powerful one of them all at the time and those that have held that position since before he was even born. While there were many other gangs, the Void was the most notorious and were responsible for most of the awful things that happened around town.   Everything-Man had a successful streak of taking down theirs and others illicit operations, gaining the trust and respect of others around town, namely Chief Benson Roberts of the SCPD who he stil works with to this day. Eventually he found himself in an alliance with Henry Richman, CEO and Founder of Aesthetech.   This streak was eventually broken when the leader of the Void, Draven Dredd, came to fight Everything-Man one day out of the blue and fight he did. Everything-Man was faced with someone who had the same power as him but for a much longer time and was very sorely beaten.   After recovering from the fight and having the city call him back, Everything-Man once again started on a winning streak which eventually forced him into a fight with Draven Dredd once again. This time having more power and training Everything-Man was victorious, defeating Draven and punching his body out to sea after their city shaking fight, though thankfully it was earlier evacuated.   In the year 2020, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and a few years after the founding of the Coalition, Everything-Man was lured into a trap by a superpowered member of the Void who managed to somehow survive. This trap designed to suck the power out of Everything-Man and into another, who happened to be his love, Metallia. Everything-Man was able to stop the process partway through and escape with Metallia, leaving his sword behind.   The process of the machine unfortunately reset most of the power he acquired back to zero and unexpectedly also gave some of his power to Metallia. After some training and regrouping, Everything-Man and Metallia joined together as partners.   Throughout their new partnership, they both found evidence of the Void still being in existence and after much research Draven Dredd was still at the helm. Eventually Draven set his own plan in motion, using the power hub in the middle of the city to cause a massive explosion while both heros were temporarily seperated.   Everything-Man, Metallia and the Stryke Team then set out to City Center to face him and this time actually kill him. After a long and ardous fight, Draven was on the brink of death when he unleashed one last "Fuck you" on the heroes, a small black hole. Thankfully Everything-Man was able to contain it but unfortunately had to put his entire power and concentration into doing just that and so, for 6 long years he remained in City Center, in a stasis-like state.   Eventually in the year 2026, he found the willpower to close the blackhole and return, just in time to find himself in the middle of a small scale invasion by the Ikrutir, one that they were desperately losing.   Gathering information from Henry and regrouping with Metallia who had a group of new and young superheroes with her while they faced an imposing alien figure. With the help of the now returned Everything-Man they were able to turn the tides and defeat the invaders.   Since then, each of those young superheroes were recruited into the Coalition, trained to further be in control of their abilities, and taught the basics of superhero etiquette.   Now with information given to them by the Wizard, these 6 heroes, the Coalition, and the various armed forces Earths nations prepare to take on a full scale alien invasion.

    The Coalition of Heroes

    Motto: Truth, Justice, Honor

    The Coalition of Heroes is an elite organization made up of a variety of people including ex-military, ex-mercenary, a variety of tech specialists, engineers, scientists, and even customer service representatives, all in the name of justice and peace.   Originally sprouting from a private mercenary company hired to help Everything-Man and supplement the local police force, the company was then bought out by Henry Richman and absorbed into the Coalition upon its founding with many of the employees choosing to stay on.   The Coalition is made of 3 different sectors in how it operates.

    Frontline

    The frontline sector handles what most people see day to day and what most think of when they speak of the Coalition. The frontline sector is all the physically based troops that are station throughout the city as peacekeepers and handle missions when called upon. The frontline sector is made up of a variety of different teams that are either general teams or specialized units for specific mission/events. The most notable team is Stryke Team, the first team of the Coalition who work directly with Rainbow Team (the superheroes) either supplementary or additionally.

    Auxillary

    The Auxillary sector handles a lot of the background work that lets the frontline sector function. The auxillary sector is made up of scientists and engineers in the R&D department, PAs, Coalition dispatchers, analysts, and a variety of others.

    Bureaucratic

    The Bureaucratic sector handles the "business" side of the organization. Although the Coalition is a nonprofit organization they still need people to sort out things like accounting, PR, legalities, partnerships, donations, and various other things like that.  

    Leader

    Technically, the role of leader of the Coalition lies with Everything-Man but he is insistent that Henry Richman shares this role with him. Henry is both the CEO and financier of the Coalition, taking care of the funding and other resources that they may need but he also has a direct role in the Coalition that he plays everyday. Henry usually acts as "overwatch" or "HQ" whenever the heroes are on a mission, relaying important details, sending reinforcements, and doing any mission critical backround work that is required.   Henry is also the CEO and Founder of the tech company Aesthetech, one of the worlds leading tech companies, competing against even Apple and Google. Although many of the company's products are for the standard consumers such as smartphones, computers, and other related accessories, the company also has a hand in many other industries such as health, science, and vehicles and has made many advancements in each such industry/  

    The Ikrutir

    Motto: Never conquered, always feared or Crush the light, absorb the might

    The Ikrutir are massive group of intergalactic pirates that have spent their days attacking wayward ships, plundering planets on the outskirts of the galaxy and delving into dangerous technological and magical advancments.   Throughout the last 6 years the Ikrutir have set their sights on Earth, sensing the immense power from the various enhanced folk and the blackhole that had emerged in 2020. Wanting this power for themselves, the Ikrutir sent small scale invasions to try and see if they could snuff out any resistance before their full arrival, and to test the might of Earths defenders all while moving throughout the galaxy acquiring more power to launch their full assault.  

    Leader

    The leader of the Ikrutir is a massive Shobhad known as Ir'gun Aktagall, the Blood Baron, a madman bent on absolute power in any of its many forms. His origin is unknown however he is presumably from the planet of Akiton, the native planet of the Shobhad-neh. Some say his climb to power started with the economical destruction of his homeworld, others say he started his pursuits by making a pact with some sort of fiend which he later slayed and took the power of. Whatever the origin, his next move is to take Earths various powers or destroy them all.   Other alias' include: the Spirit Crusher, the Hope Devourer, the Monarch of Misery.  

    Manpower

    The Ikrutir are not just one race of aliens that have come to destroy Earth, no, their power lies heavily in their diversity. Their numbers are made up of nearly every known race in the galaxy, from Goblins to Elves to Formians and beyond, allowing them to operate in nearly any environment for any evil deed. The estimated total members they have are said to be at least 1 million strong but that is unconfirmed.   Anyone fighting the Ikrutir are urged to use caution and to expect anything and anyone. You never know whom you may be up against when going up against a crew of Ikrutir soldiers or infiltrating one of their bases of operation.  

    Advances

    In their search for power and control, the Ikrutir started tampering with magic and technology, hiring many who have expertise in one or the other to further their capabilities. In recent times it has been clearly observed they are also mixing them together in unnatural, unethical and forbidden ways. One of the more recent examples was when they invaded Earth in 2026 the day Everything-Man finally closed the blackhole and came back. The leader of that invasion, a imposing Draelik man wielded a laser cannon magically attached to his arm that was strong enough to destroy buildings.   While the tampering of magic and technology in this way is to dangerous and should be stopped, it is thanks to them that Metal-Head has the suit he now wears and uses in protection of others. According to him, he had retrieved the suit on a prior small invasion by the Ikrutir back in 2023.
     

    The Earth Defense System (E.D.S)

    The Earth Defense System or E.D.S for short, is made of 150 large, force field emitting space stations that orbit the Earth. The first iteration of the E.D.S was launched back in 2022 by the behest of Metallia after the first invasion. This iteration did not survive long as the world governments would not agree to the requests of the Coalition or Metallia and their original proposals for the E.D.S and as such the first version was a barebones version of what it is today.   These space stations are capable of emitting force fields that cover hundreds of miles worth of aerospace, allowing only specified objects, creatures, and gases through. Each station is equip with turrets that cover all sides for self defense purposes and a large cannon at the top for Earth defense measures. While each station requires tremendous amounts of energy and batteries to function, they are also able to recharge via solar power. Each station is currently unmanned but has the capacity to hold a crew of 125 with the appropriate facilities and munitions. Each station is able to be remotely controlled by authorized personel only.
