"Build 'em up, break 'em down."

Sledgehammer is a rookie hero working for the Freedom Phalanx. She is a spunky, yet dour hero who takes her job as the Freedom Phalanx's best builder and gear crafter, making tools and suits for up and coming heroes like herself. She takes her hero work just as seriously, demanding minimal casualties and property destruction, even going out of her way to repair damaged buildings with her powers and tools. However her serious, no nonsense attitude makes her Very confrontational, especially with heroes with a joking or smart alek attitude. This is unfortunately undermined by her habit of puffing her cheeks

Sledgehammer has a bad tendency to view her inventions as her "babies", and becomes incredibly agitated and indignant when they are treated poorly or are brought back to her for repairs in a destroyed state going on long, ranting tirades on the those who bring them in broken. She is a welder in her civilian life.

Welcome to Mega City.

It the year 20XX. With the advancement of science and the rediscovery of the mystic arts, humans are able to have extraordinary powers. But like all new powers, some wanted to use them for.

HISTORY

What began as a quiet collection of colonial villages across Rhode Island in the 18th century had by the time of the Civil War become a bustling port city. After the war it became a center for industry, science and commerce in America. Throughout the first quarter of the 20th century Mega City truly rose to fulfill its name's promise. It was the height of everything a city could hope to become. Then came disaster: the stock market crash in 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. Decades of unbounded expansion left Mega City particularly vulnerable to the depression's ravages. The economy collapsed, bringing social and political order crashing to the ground with it. Crime, organized and random, moved in to fill the void. The bootlegging gangs of the roaring twenties had already established themselves during Prohibition. Now the mob bosses, through bribery, intimidation, and murder, seized control of the city itself.

Mega City became a city where every cop was on the take, every politician under a mob boss' thumb, and one out of every two people was out of work. There was nowhere to turn for hope, no one to stand for the oppressed and downtrodden.

But then came a day unlike any other. People with and without powers began coming out of the woodwork, one after the other, coming together to clean up the scum infesting their home.

Heroes. Superheroes. One and all.

Now Mega City stands as the shining beacon of the world, but also it's darkest, for the remnants of the old villain Factions set up a seemingly permanent staging on the Rouge Isles, locking the city in neverending battle for the spirit and soul of the world. From this city, heroes and villains alike are forged and the world will know their names.

In Legend or Infamy!

FACTIONS

Heroes: In 1937, Near the tail end of the Great Depression, individuals with extraordinary powers and abilities began appearing in the worldwide populace. In these initial days, the public was distrustful, even discriminatory against these individuals. But over time, as more and more heroic deeds were performed, they earned their place in society as super Heroes. Today, many such heroes exist but while united in the battle for world peace and security during the second World War, they find themselves at odds with each other over how it should be done, leading to a great schism that persisted to this very day..

Villains: A villain is an individual who possesses extraordinary talents, supernatural phenomena, or superhuman powers and uses them in pursuit of a personal or professional objective that is usually at the detriment of the public, the greater good, and/or any other moral standard. As their actions usually cause community disturbance, Supervillains are actively opposed by Heroes who seek to curb the destruction the actions of villains cause. Over the decades, the Villains created their own organizes "clans" on the Rouge Isles off the coast of the city in order to counter the organization and unity of the Hero Guilds, all based on the Rouge Isles off the coast of Mega City..

Police: Under the command of Chief Conrad Bochco, the Paragon Police Department, or the “Blue Shields” as they are often called, has a long established history in Paragon City. When the Rouge Isles became a haven for super-powered villains who constantly raided Paragon’s shores, the threats to Paragon City seemed to reach a critical mass. The Paragon Police Department has once again found it necessary to redefine and reorient itself in light of the ever-rising menace of super-powered villains, especially those who shelter themselves under Lord Recluse’s flag. A new proactive force has been trained, and is ready to fall out and restore peace to the streets of Mega City.

Mobs: Despite a world of giant monsters, super-powered vigilantes, undead horrors, and alien invaders, there are those who believe the old values and established traditions are the most important things in life. These rough men by their nature live on the edges of law-abiding society. They deal in the illegal and the immoral, and create a space for themselves through the rule of the gun or knife. They profit by exploiting the weakness of others while maintaining a veneer of civility around the Sunday night dining table. They are The Mobs.
