Darkness in Tranquility: A Marvel/DC Crossover Roleplay
2010 was the year it all fell apart. The Superhuman Registration Act divided the superhero community, and out of fear the United States government unleashed Project Tartarus to arrest or kill those who refused to register. Tartatus was an army of clones, clones of none other than the mighty Doomsday; by the time the government discovered that it no longer controlled the rampaging aliens, countless heroes lay dead and entire cities had been decimated. The clones turned on their creators, carving a path through anyone and anything that stood in their way.
Sensing the opportunity provided by the devastation, villains emerged from the shadows. With the government destroyed, the heroes too weak to defeat them all, and the people desperate for any protection from the Doomsdays, these master criminals seized control of entire cities. The most powerful of all was Zarda, the Power Princess, and her Squadron Supreme; they plotted to destroy the clones and control the entire world from their stronghold on the subjugated island of Themyscira. The people of Earth were forced to choose between utter annihilation and rule by evil.
But now 2011 has dawned, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has returned to send out a call to the surviving heroes, whether JLA, X-Men, Avengers, or independent operators. They hope to offer a third way, a last stand that will provide a chance at a return to justice. Now the choice is in your hands. Will you seize immediate power as a villain or defend the hope for a better future as a hero? Will you return the light of justice to a battered planet, or will you drag it down into Dark Tranquility?
