Blood of Heroes - A 3rd Edition Mutants and Masterminds Campaign Setting
Earth, 2021. An alien race known as the Skree has ruled over the planet for the past 20 years, subjecting the local populace to the sadistic whims of their most brutal reign. True heroes have been all but eradicated during the Skree Invasion of 1999-2001. That or they have fallen prey to the Skree's corruptive influence and mind-altering technology. Those heroes that still survive, do so either in reclusive hiding or by battling one another in gladiator-like fashion as the Skree's amusement. Now after twenty years of servitude, a new breed of heroes are slowly starting to emerge. Fed up with the decadence that now surrounds them and fueled by their own personal desires, these young heroes have decided to try and make a stand for humanity, once and for all.
Does this new breed of heroes have what it takes to rise up against the Skree and take back their homeworld? Are they capable of breaking the shackles of oppression that bind them to a life of unwavering servitude? Time shall tell True Believers, to see whether or not these few elite individuals truly possess...the Blood of Heroes.
Jack frowns. "Sorry bub, I live in a dorm. No room for sis and the kids, Coach won't allow it." The man then elaborates, "I wouldn't worry none though, I've spoken to Old Man Fowler and he's promised to look out after her. That alone makes me feel better. He's a tough sumbich when he wants to be and besides, who better to look out after her than our godfather." Jack smiles smugly then pats Pilgrim on the shoulder. "I got to jet buddy. Coach is already gonna have my ass in a sling. You take care and thanks again for the help. Feel free to keep an eye out on sis while I'm gone. But no more than one if ya know what I mean, alright?"
In retrospect, if the thugs knew Crystal was Amber-Jack's sister, they might come after "her" for the money owed by her husband.

Pilgrim smiles at Amber-Jack. "Don't worry man--I'll be happy to keep an eye on her. And it will be just one eye. I'm a man of God and try to do his will."
