In 12417, a few hundred teenagers developing supernatural abilities was enough to send the capital into ten years' worth of civil war, ending in a revolutionary coup d'état.
A hundred years later, and all that's changed is presentation. Heroism, vigilantism, villainy - all of it is documented, marketed, regulated ; the Government-Hired-Heroes and the Underground's crooks butt heads day in and day out, all while the rest of the population goes on as normal. A predictable theatre play repeating over and over, to the point it's become clear it's all pretend and the GHH is in bed with the Underground and its mafias.
Until Alexander. Some round, juvenile, spandex-wearing, silver-wigged, clownlike grinning mystery madman of a terrorist, unlike any villains before them - spreading chaos and death with no clear purpose beyond it, no affiliations to anyone, no hints to their identity - and all that right under the big powers' nose.
A slice-of-life murder mystery thriller in a capepunk superhero setting with multiple leads, surreal twists and lots of explosions.
