SuperHero Dice: Roll Into Action

SuperHero Dice: Roll Into Action

My dice game which I have designed, for which I am currently working with a talented artist and creating new SuperHero's and Villians.

Here is a bit of background:


SuperHero Dice: Roll into Action

Background

The Island of Asilo, where contrary to the musings of modern day scholars was where the first humanoid inhabitants of planet Earth dwelled, they were known as the Armonia. The Armonia had fled to Earth and been guided to the Island of Asilo by the great wise one Mentem, the Armonia were a peaceful race and their small home planet was rich in energy crystals called Cubitos, the other races of the outer galaxies had sought to control their planet to gain the crystals, battling each other with the poor Armonia caught in between. The Armonia fled their planet with as many Cubitos crystals as they could, they journeyed far until they found Earth and the Island of Asilo there they lived peaceful lives for centuries, until Mentem the Sixteenth foretold of an impending disaster that would change their lives, the Earth was about to undergo a Seismic event that would change the shape of the planet, their island would be crushed in-between two great continents as they merged together. The great thinkers of Armonia decided the only course of action would be to sink the island under the seas so deep the land masses above would not crush the island; they toiled hard to build a protective cocoon around the island with powerful Cubitos engines to power the islands atmosphere and to sink the island itself. Thus Asilo was forever lost in history until…

When the continents parted again millions of years later, there were great discussions in Asilo on whether to return to the surface or not, they decided that they would gain nothing by returning and stayed under the waves, until one day one of the powerful engines which kept the island below the seas malfunctioned, thus the decision was made to return to the surface, the engineers worked on new technology to protect the Island from any prying eyes, the island rose to the surface and the dome retracted. The island lay a great distance from any known land mass and they thought that they would be safe and could remain hidden, but they had not realised that the Earth itself had new inhabitants; the Human race.

Sea going vessels had been spotted by the lookouts on several occasions so the Islands defences were put into action. The Island had two mist banks that surrounded it, the outer mist bank and the inner mist bank, both moving in opposite directions, those trying to navigate would get confused and sail straight past the island, the sea also moved quicker in-between the mist banks and could push ships back into the outer mist bank.

But eventually the ships became more powerful and one day a ship broke through the two mist banks and ran aground on the Island, the Armonia approached with caution as three figures fell from the ship’s deck onto the sand, thus the Armonia first met members of the human race.

The Armonia learnt as much as they could from the Humans and in return gave the humans a place to live and food, but they were not allowed to leave the island.

The thinkers of Armonia decided that they would need a new way to protect themselves if needed, they could no longer rely on the sea defences, so using an ancient knowledge that had been sealed many aeons before they landed on Earth, they did the almost unthinkable and started to train some of the younger members of Armonia society in combat and defence techniques, using the power of the Cubitos minerals to boost the strength and power of their actions.

Over the years more ships become stranded on their shores and soon it was flying ships that crashed onto the island, some survivors of the various wrecks would mutter about the Devils Triangle and look in fear at the Armonia when they arrived. When they calmed down they would tell the thinkers that Asilo lay in the middle of Triangle of sea with modern day Puerto Rico to the South East, America to the West and Bermuda to the North East. It was known to many as the Bermuda Triangle or the Devils Triangle where many ships and aircraft vanished without trace, they told of other people scouring the seas to try and find the cause of these disappearances and with each new technology that the Human Race would develop the Armonia realised that one day there secret would be uncovered.

A plan was decided upon and the Armonia chose to reveal the island to the human race and ask for a peaceful existence, in return they would take with them any of the humans that had found themselves stranded on the Island.

Thus the Armonia became a part of the history books once more and for a while lived in peace, until some members of the human race found out about the Cubitos crystals from the survivors who had been stranded on the island, they learnt of the power that could be unleashed and they wanted it for themselves.

So the Armonia launched the Legion of Primus, using their trained citizens to protect the island and the Cubitos, the legion was led by the fittest and brightest, the one they call Centurio.
