What is it about? Fights, Warfare and killing! It’s fast, it’s brutal, it’s simple.

Action roleplaying made manifest!

Ages ago, a powerful wizard named Merlin, setup a barrier to protect Eath from extra-
dimensional horrors.

Before that, a group of knights protected the world from those horrors. Warriors unlike any
other, they were equipped, trained and deployed amid evil itself.

They called themselves the Legion of Doom. For they fought what no mortal would dare to look
upon and stood where no mortal would dare wander.

Once they liberated the world, they set themselves upon a crusade into the outer realms. One
after the other, legions of monsters fell under their armored feet.

Soon, their conquest bore the fruit of victory and soon they grew in numbers. They grew bold
even and carried their exploits further into the realms of darkness.

The Legion of Doom held many banners, flown above the uncounted heads of it’s followers,
lead by charismatic heroes like sir Gawain, or a lesser known general, Archos the Mad.

The whole legion was inadvertedly lost, when the generals marched their forces into the heart
of Hellscape itself, known as the Tratorium to confront the reigning king of Hell, Lucifer
himself.

Trapped in the pit they were, decieved by Archos, who fell under the influence of false
promises and visions of power.

What became of them is not known. On that day, Merlin used all the remaining power of the
Forge to shield Earth of outside forces, including magic, for millenia.

After he done so, he laid himself to rest at the Citadel, fortress of the Legion, which remains
ever hidden from mortal eyes. There he sleeps, destined to awaken, when humanity needs him
again, at wake of a new era.

Now, it’s the year 2050 and the magical barrier around Earth is weakening…

Merlin has woken from his slumber and laid his sight upon the world. He judged it broken,
overcrowded and helpless. Even more so, the barrier slowly waning returned some of his
former power.

He knows what is coming. The return of life from beyond, more horrid than anything else.
Merlin seeks those, who are worthy again. He seeks champions to stand for humanity in the
moment of Darkness.
In the Legion of Doom, you as the player take control of a Knight, an elite warrior, chosen and
trained by Merlin, the famous wizard. You have many tools to aid you and the means to aquire
them.

You can wield devastating melee weapons, accurate and deadly firearms or mysterious arcane
magics.

You possess the Genesis armor, crafted in the Forge upon the Citadel of the Legion. It is highly
modular and sports 3 Slots for armor modules. It has a shoulder mounted ejector called Gyro,
which can be used for actions like potion administration or launching explosives.

Using Gyro takes an action.
