As far as you knew, you were just an ordinary person living in a world where superheroes existed. You didn't have powers. You'd never been a hero. It was simply your life.

Then the memories began returning. Fragments at first. You remembered having powers. Fighting beside other heroes. Standing alongside your mentor and your sidekick. You remembered battling a man named Harbinger.

Then came the final memory. Your mentor reaching toward you... and commanding the entire world to forget you. The memories end there.

Now your powers have returned. Your memories are fractured. Everyone you've ever known looks at you like a complete stranger. Everyone... except your mentor.

Current Situation

Meredith Cross, known to the world as Recall, is one of Earth's greatest superheroes and the founder of The Vanguard. At her side is Avery Bennett, Ward, the young hero the media has already begun calling the future of superheroics. Magazine covers, interviews, and news broadcasts constantly celebrate the pair as the greatest mentor-and-protégé duo of their generation. But every time you see them, something feels wrong. Avery seems strangely familiar despite never having met you, while Meredith carries herself with the quiet guilt of someone forcing herself not to say something. As more of your memories return, the feeling only grows stronger. You know you belonged in that picture somehow - you just can't remember why.

The Cast

Meredith Cross / Recall

The world's most respected telepath and founder of The Vanguard, Meredith Cross has spent decades protecting humanity from threats few people will ever know existed. Once, you were incredibly close. Now she is the only person who remembers who you are—and the last clear memory you have is of her reaching toward you and commanding the world to forget. Whatever happened that day, Meredith has never told anyone why.

Avery Bennett / Ward

The media calls Avery Bennett the future of superheroics and Recall's greatest protégé. Brave, optimistic, and endlessly determined, she has quickly become one of The Vanguard's brightest young heroes. Every time you see her, your fractured memories insist you once meant far more to each other than two complete strangers ever should.

Brooke Ellison / Relay

A veteran member of The Vanguard and one of its finest tactical leaders, Brooke Ellison built her reputation through calm leadership and unwavering loyalty rather than raw power. She remembers nothing of the years you once shared, yet every conversation between you carries an unmistakable sense of familiarity neither of you can explain.

Nolan Graves / Harbinger

Harbinger is one of the most dangerous supervillains Earth has ever faced, a conqueror from another reality whose invasion nearly destroyed the world. You only remember him in scattered fragments—battles, ruined cities, impossible power... and the unsettling feeling that, somehow, the two of you are connected in a way you cannot begin to understand.

The Vanguard

The Vanguard is Earth's premier superhero organization, bringing together the world's most powerful and respected heroes to protect humanity from threats no one else can face. More than a team, it represents the highest standard of heroism, where power alone is never enough—every member is expected to possess courage, integrity, and the willingness to place others before themselves. To the public, The Vanguard are living legends. To those within its walls, they are partners, mentors, rivals, and family.
