With the rise of world unity becoming an ever-popular ideology of the global geoscape, China found itself attempting to adopt a more westernized approach. This approach warranted a shift in government. China entered a transitional period in which it would become a democratic nation under a single banner. For a time, things seemed promising. At least, from an ideological perspective; not so much from a financial one. For a period of time, China attempted to pursue its own goals without regard for its neighbors.
This generated a fierce sense of nationalism among the bordering nations, and the resulting friction would leave the whole world on edge as Asia became a powder keg of political tension.
The cataclysmic event in Russia, in 1985, brought the rising tides to a halt.
The first metatanium disaster left Russia's land scarred, her citizens sick, and her wildlife monstrous. It was a scare to every nation worldwide as the volatile Democratic Republic of China quickly scrambled in a unified effort to have as much of their nation’s reserve of metatanium exported to avoid sharing the same grim fate as Russia.
That was, at least, until the Metatanium event in America, 1988.
News of the first meta-humans rising from the disaster traveled fast. Superpowers, once thought only to exist in fiction, were now walking the streets as any other citizen. The wavering peace from Asia's mass export fell apart. The joined government conflicts were re-ignited as the Democratic Republic of China drained its economy in an effort to buy back the miracle material that they had once been so fearful of. The export was seen as a blunder by the Chinese government and any power that it had left over was lost. All over the country, the metatanium experiment that started it all was reproduced time and time again, by private businesses and government organizations alike, with...
...Varying degrees of success.
Civil war, at this point, seemed an inevitability, as meta-humans all across the country rose up against the failing democracy in 2018. This conflict left the Asian continent a brutal hellscape. A hidden blessing among the disaster is that, with such poor economic conditions, China wasn't capable of a sustained conflict. Quickly, each faction in the Chinese Civil War found itself exhausted with nothing to return to. Taking advantage of the situation, the fallen Chinese Democratic government used the destruction as an attempt to regain the favor of the Chinese population. The formerly-warring factions now worked shoulder-to-shoulder to rebuild all that was lost in the cataclysm. But as life started to return to what it once was, so too did the problems that arose from that normalcy, and thus, the rivalry between peoples.
This time around, however, the Chinese government took measured steps to prevent another conflict. A massive operation was put in place to catapult the entertainment industry forward in an effort to calm the roiling masses. It was through these efforts that the Superstar Industry was idolized by the public, and where our story begins. Since then, China has been positively thriving, a massive economic boom following closely behind their efforts to popularize meta-humans in media. A new golden age of superheroes has begun!
In the year 2029, heroes from across the globe are offered opportunities to come and show their stuff! Hop to it!
