About Abnormals

The characters in this game are colourful, super-powered individuals who exist in an alternative version of the Earth we know.

In this new Earth; the Nazis retreated to the moon after suffering a crushing defeat by the allies in the second world war, Japan retaliated for Hiroshima by releasing the Helix Virus upon America, Atlantis emerged from the North Sea and went to war with Ireland over disputed land rights, Elvis’ Body was stolen by Martians and used as a prototype for a dangerous cyborg invader, while Great Britain erected a force dome over itself and cut off completely from the outside world. This is Abnormals, super-powers in a world gone mad.

Helix City
At least initially, the game of Abnormals is based in America, primarily in and around Helix City, the undisputed center of superhuman activity in the world. Helix City is a huge sprawling metropolis, dense with human life, and full of trouble. It has more superhumans per capita than any other city on Earth. Players take the part of one, or more, of these powered individuals, set on making their mark... One way or another!

Heroes and Villains
In general, super-powered folk are perceived to be either heroes or villains by the general public. In truth they are rather more complex. How they are viewed by the world entirely depends on their media presence, their visible acts and their reputation. It is not uncommon for an Abnormals motives and actions to be misunderstood by the world at large.

Subnormals
Some people were affected more drastically by the Helix Virus, given bizarre shape or form both wondrous and freakish. The worst of these unfortunates are maligned by society, often forced to hide their terrifying shapes. Monstrous Abnormals like this are often referred to as Subnormals.

Costumed Adventurers
In the wake of the Helix phenomenon, other types of strange character have begun to appear in the world. These are not true Abnormals at all, but are normal people who use technology, science, specialist training and arcane mysteries to make their own mark in the bizarre world they are a part of.

Aims and Direction
There are no aims to the game, except those you make for yourself. Each character in Abnormals will have their own ideas about what they want to achieve, as decided by you. The world continues to evolve and change and your place in it will only be governed by your actions. There is a war brewing, it is true, a war between light and darkness, good and evil, in a world where the normal balance of things has been turned on its head. As a character with powers, perhaps you have some responsibility to take a side, one way or another. Only you can decide.

Open-Ended
Abnormals is an open-ended game. You can play as long as you like. Since you set your goals only you can rate your achievements. By far the most important aspect of the game is simply to have fun, which Abnormals provides ample opportunity for if you are a fan of the superhero genre, high-action and interesting ongoing character development. We hope you enjoy the experience.
