PantheoRoyale
#1 of PantheoRoyale
A project I've been working on for a bit now and already wrote some stories for.
Think Dislyte but more utopian and is more of an entertainment show than actual heroism/villainism.
Introduction:-
Nobody knows when nor how it happened.
The day became known by many names, depending on who you ask, but is the day where everything changed. Many people all over the world awoke to amazing powers inspired by deities, beasts, and characters of legends, fables, and myths, powers that no one could've only been found and/or seen in movies and comic books, until that day that is.
Of course, as one would expect, chaos soon broke out all over the world, as criminals and thugs began using their powers for evil deeds, but of course, heroes emerged to put a stop to all of that, but each time they battle, it leaves the areas they battled in completely destroyed. So the leaders of the world came up with the solution that took quite a long time to perfectly implement, but the result was worth it.
The World:-
A utopian scifi-cyberpunk world with great advancements in science and technology, but many regions would keep up ancient traditions and cultures, especially when magic has resurfaced in the world, the way it did.
Pantheonics:-
The individuals who awoke to these strange and amazing powers, they got that title due to their powers being influenced or something inspired by the many figures and beasts of religion, legends, fables and myths.
The most powerful of those are the ones with powers inspired by the many gods and goddesses of the world, as well as the demi-god-like figures in legends.
PantheoRoyale:-
A sort of live show where individuals with powers are pitted against one another as 'Heroes' and 'Villains' to battle it out for entertainment.
Of course, all of that happens in a sanctioned 'arena' in a place that will deal the least amount of damage to cities as possible while providing a thrilling and exciting show for the civilians. No one gets hurt, of course, and both sides get paid handsomely for their work, the more excited the people get watching them, the more they are paid, it's only fair, no?
However, that comes with its rules and regulations, mostly to keep some sort of order to it all. The 'heroes' and 'villains' have to register themselves with one of the show's main associations in either of those categories to be able to take part in the show.
Agencies:-
Of course, heroes and villains can come together to create their own unions or 'agencies' that usually act as the 'middle-man' between members and the Association. Of course, they can't function without also being registered with the Association, otherwise, they'd be a 'Rogue Agency' and will be treated as criminals until they either disband or register.
