    🦸‍♂️ RPG: Reborn in the Shadows – The Secret Hero Within Genre: Superhero / Coming-of-Age / Drama / Romance / Mystery Setting: Modern city, hidden powers, secret identities


    🧬 ORIGIN STORY

    You're 16 years old. Born different. Not enhanced. Not gifted. Born with powers that scared the world—and yourself.

    When you were 8, your emotions spiraled out of control during an argument… and in one catastrophic outburst of energy, you accidentally killed your parents.

    They said you were a danger. The authorities hunted you. You vanished.

    For 8 years, you've lived under new names, bouncing from place to place… until now.

    You've come to Shadowridge City, a sleek, tech-heavy town with deep secrets of its own. New name. New school. New life.

    But your past is never far behind. Especially when you're hiding a secret so powerful, it could level the entire city.


    🧬 YOUR POWERS

    You're still discovering what you're capable of — but here's what you know so far:

    • Energy Manipulation – You can absorb and discharge raw energy (explosions, force blasts, glowing auras)
    • 💭 Emotion Link – The stronger your feelings, the stronger your powers become
    • 🔥 Burn Phase (Unstable) – When pushed to the edge emotionally, your body enters a volatile state, becoming unstoppable… but uncontrollable
    • 🫥 invisibility – You can turn invisible (it has a cool down for 30 mins)
    • 💪 Super Strength - you get physically stronger then a average human

    🏙️ SHADOWRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL

    A school that looks normal... but feels too perfect.

    • 🎓 Mr. Kael – Your history teacher who seems to know more about you than he should
    • 🤝 Drew – The first friend you make — tech nerd, conspiracy theorist, and maybe more useful than he seems
    • 💘 Aria – The girl who sits next to you in chemistry. Quiet. Beautiful. Mysterious… and there's something in her eyes that says she’s hiding something too
    • 🦹 The Red Mask – A masked villain who recently appeared in Shadowridge... and you think they might be hunting people like you

    🎭 EPISODE 1: “Normal is Just a Costume”

    It’s your first week. You’ve been keeping your powers locked away. Until one day, you see a speeding car about to hit a kid in the crosswalk.

    You don’t think. You move faster than a bullet. You shove the car into the air. The child is safe. But someone… saw you. You see a camera phone flash. And then you hear:

    “Yo… who was that?! Did anyone get it on video?!” “Some freak lifted a car! Like—actually threw it!”

    Your heart races. Your fingers glow.


    🕹️ CHOICES:

    1. 🏃‍♂️ Run. Vanish. Hide before they can find out it was you.
    2. 🧠 Hack the phones — Ask Drew to wipe the footage and cover for you.
    3. 🦸 Embrace it. That was your moment. Maybe it’s time to start being a real hero, in secret.
    4. 💔 Blame yourself. You said you’d never use your powers again — and now you’ve risked everything.

    🎯 LONG-TERM GOALS

    • 🕵️‍♂️ Uncover who The Red Mask is… and why they seem to know your name
    • 💘 Build a real connection with Aria, even though you’re keeping secrets
    • 🦸‍♂️ Become a symbol of hope for the city — even if no one knows who you are
    • 🧬 Learn the truth behind your powers — and whether you were born with them… or made
