Joey Claire, Knight of Light
by macrocosmonaut
Home to the lost, the desperate and the hopeless, Neo City is a cold and heartless place, the neon-lit refuse heap of the universe. Mighty heroes and villains—Powers, everyone calls them—fight for control of the city, but someone’s got to look after the little guy and that duty falls to you. With your trusty sidekick the Seer of Doom at your side, you sort out the missing people, the burning buildings, the muggings, even the cats stuck up artificial trees when you have to. But tonight you have bitten off more than you can chew. It’s not about helping someone any more. A monster who feeds on the innocent is getting bolder and stronger, and the fate of the entire city depends on you stopping them.(It is inconsequential that you wish to remain a small-scale hero, Joey. You have a purpose in all of this—you are the lead dancer in the cruel ballet of Fate, if you will—and I can’t have you hiding from the spotlight forever.)Act One complete. Updates every other Thursday.
