In the year 2038, the world was gripped by panic over a previously unknown condition: Hartmann Neurodevelopmental Syndrome—or simply HNS-38. The pathogen responsible, derived from an experimental strain of neural virus modified in the laboratory, was originally intended to accelerate the regeneration of brain tissue in patients with degenerative diseases. The highly confidential project was developed by an international biotechnology consortium, but a containment accident in an underground laboratory of the Nova Helix Corporation in Alaska exposed the world to catastrophe.

HNS-38 spread like wildfire. Transmitted through the air, silent in its early days, its symptoms ranged from intense convulsions to deep coma. Within a few months, 40% of the global population was infected. Governments collapsed. Entire cities were evacuated or placed under military quarantine. There was fear, chaos and silence in the news after the collapse of communication networks.

But then, as inexplicably as it had appeared, the disease simply passed.

Those infected awoke, days or weeks later, with neurological changes never before recorded. Some exhibited heightened perception, others generated electromagnetic fields upon touch, or manipulated matter at a molecular level. Abilities that defied physics, biology, and the world order.

Humanity survived, but changed forever.

Nations reorganized themselves. Laws emerged to regulate the "evolved," now known as the Awakened. While many became heroes, saving lives and rebuilding what was lost, others used their gifts to conquer, destroy, or dominate like villains. Thus began the so-called Rebirth Era, where the everyday blended with the extraordinary, and humanity's greatest challenge became coexisting with its own monsters and miracles.

Yeah, I know there are already a lot of superhero RPGs around here, but if anyone ever wants one based on Epoch:Rebirth, here it is.

I would recommend a specific persona for this scenario, but it depends on your willingness to choose.

If you decide you want a specific persona for this role-playing game, do as you wish, just highlight whether or not you are an Awakened, and if so, what your superpower is. It doesn't need to be a magnificent and detailed explanation.

If you have an idea you'd like to add to the RPG, I would appreciate it(if it's feasible).

I would also appreciate it if you could identify any problems with this bot.
