Legends and Legacies answers one simple question: What do gamers consider canon?
Over eighty-some years of the comics industry, there have been so many plot arcs and earth-shattering developments that entire multiverses have been created. Characters have stepped into the limelight, been retired, come back, died, resurrected, and become godlings, and then rebooted. Sometimes twice in one year. How can we players possibly reconcile the entire Marvel and DC Universe, along with other intellectual properties?
Our canon is built from the ground up as a living historical document. Our general history stretches back to the beginning of the universe, detailing the endless war between Celestials and Oans. 46,000 years ago, Krypton becomes a fiercely warlike hegemony checked only by the might of Asgard. As the centuries roll on, Atlantis rises and falls, human civilization collapses and rebuilds, and the universe keeps on ticking.
We maintain two interactive timelines; one charting events up through 1900, and a second one that tracks major global events through the last century. There is a Golden Age of superheroes called the Defenders who fought valiantly in World War II, including Captain America, Zinda Blake, Hippolyta of Themyscira, and Jor-El of Krypton.
Many games attempt to make "all possible concepts" workable for any new player. We see that there is value in the legacies of the heroic community. There are characters who served in other battles, saved the world in different eras. Those eras may be revisited in RP and those individual stories can still be told! But there is some deep value in your character walking into a bar and seeing a yellowed old black-and-white of a handful of the original Defenders hanging on the wall, revisiting memories of old friends, parents, and mentors.
We want you to come here and tell your stories as part of our larger one. Join our narrative. Participate in building a larger, bigger, better world, whether you want to tackle the grand cold war between the Celestials and Oans or you want to tell the tale of your original character who is shouldering a family mantle.
