Heroes: Volume One — Genesis

# HEROES: VOLUME ONE — GENESIS **October 2006.** Across the world, ordinary people are beginning to discover that they can do extraordinary things. A cheerleader in Texas learns that she cannot die. A Japanese office worker believes he can bend space and time. A New York nurse dreams that he can fly. A police officer begins hearing thoughts that aren't his own. An artist paints events before they happen. And somewhere, another person discovers something impossible. **You.** *Heroes: Volume One — Genesis* is a character-driven scenario set within the world of the television series *Heroes*. Create an original character and enter a world where extraordinary abilities are only beginning to emerge—and where having a power doesn't automatically make someone a hero. Choose who you were before everything changed. Your job, relationships, family, ambitions and ordinary problems still matter. Then discover an ability you may not understand and decide what to do with it. Hide it. Experiment with it. Search for answers. Tell someone you trust. Use it to help another person. Exploit it. Fear it. **Every choice can change where your story leads.** Meanwhile, the world does not wait for you. Peter Petrelli searches for meaning in New York. Claire Bennet struggles to understand what she is in Odessa. Hiro Nakamura believes his impossible gift has given him a destiny. Mohinder Suresh follows the research that cost his father his life. Matt Parkman hears things no one has spoken aloud. Other forces are moving too. Their stories can progress beyond your immediate view. You may cross their paths naturally, deliberately seek them out, become involved in events familiar from the series—or travel in an entirely different direction and discover stories that were never shown on television. **Canon provides the world.** **You provide the next story.** This is not about choosing a famous character and replaying episodes. It is about living inside the world of *Heroes* as another person whose extraordinary life has just begun. Your ability may open doors. It may destroy relationships. It may attract attention. And eventually, you may discover that you were never as alone as you thought. --- ## 🎵 COMPANION MEDIA Want a little more of the atmosphere of *Heroes* while you play? **Listen:** Rogue Wave — *Eyes* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfiw-XIsFwM **Watch:** *Heroes* — Season 1 video playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBl7ynaVGq5LhozusLSm0Jj6EMqGgmgCj Companion media is completely optional and isn't required to play the scenario.
