Angels of our Better Futures

Angels of our Better Futures

PC's are agents/avatars/daemons sent down to base reality/Earth/2019/The Hull from a post human Eutopia/Heaven/Moon Base/Collective Reality.

You have monstrous powers, and inhuman insight, but the world is so sooo broken. It hurts. It hurts a lot. It hurts the most that most humans don't even have a clue how broken they are, their world is, how much they are missing out.

But HEAVEN needs you, its post-scarsity economy can't afford to help you much, your raw existance here is lost oprotunity more then you can understand, anymore.

inspirations:

• Threat Null (especially as in Panoptocon Quest.)
• The Scifi genre as hopeful.
• Masqurade type urban fantasy. nWoD core books. (not so much the game lines past the blue book, but the core more horror themed stuff.)
• Abrihamic and Aztek mythology
• Haruhi
• Real world problems and solutions.

But you are here to help, to fix things. To make things better. To do this you have 3 kinds of resource:

• You are (almost?) unkillable. This is less useful then in most games.
• You have your Orders from On High, you can't quite see the logic behind these sometimes, but they expose vampires/dark-spirits/powers that be, disasters before they happen, weak points in on-going tragedies. Less commands then priorities and information. (Access to plot hooks/DM insight/Prophesy) They trust your loyalty.
• Field Kit/Insight - 'Powers' inhuman skill, pheromones, infiltration into the highest levels, manipulation of records, abuse of physics
• Logistics - mundane people and things - so fragil and cruel, you want to fix them but you need their help.

Thoughts:

• Entropy is the fate of the universe. Decay woven into its nature. But rot is not inevitable? (Primordial chaos/Tiamat/Azteck mouthed horror/Sacrafice or its hunger will destroy).
• Nexus points provide the energy/will/ability for Heavens when Sundered, but Sundering can also destory the world.
• Without Sundering the world ends in a cold whimper of petty ruined logistics.
• Aztek Sun myths about remaking the world/heaven/blood will be spent, or the stars and the moon will tear the Sun from the sky. (metaphor? global warming, A.I., Aliens)

Chargen:

• what is your home's best feature?
• What is your Agent? Tough vs. Replacable
