It has been a tumultuous year in Heroes Rising. A giant robot attacked Vegas, a winter village and Easter village appeared out of nowhere. League Wars. Tug-of-Wars. A Hollywood celebrity caused havoc twice. Morphon Avatars appeared and then got kidnapped by a secret organization...and more.
The most recent event came as Arx led a team of those strange mercs who went around kidnapping the avatars and causing general mayhem in their wake. Poseidon Island was leveled and Hollywood may take a long time to recover.
The question on my mind: what were you doing during this? Using one of these three prompts, write a fan-fiction to tell what you were doing during these events.
Prompt 1: Poseidon Island was leveled by a childish tantrum from Arx after finding out his part was recast. What did you do about that? Help clean up? Fight looters? Stave off another, unrelated, villain trying to take advantage of the chaos? Or something else?
Prompt 2: Hollywood is under siege. Arx has challenged the worlds heroes to try and stop him. He feel superior to God himself. What did you do during that fight? Save citizens? Protect property? Go one-on-one with Arx? Or something else?
Prompt3: (for new players) If you are new to the Heroes Rising world, tell me your origin story? Bonus points for incorporating it in the current events.
