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 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Our canon is built from the ground up as a living historical document.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.

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. A world of metahumans needs mentors and retirees and old hands encouraging younger heroes to step up. Those bygone eras may be revisited in RP and those individual stories can still be told! But we want characters to walk into their favorite bar and see old, yellowed photos of their mentors, parents, and friends up on the wall.

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.
