yoo so I'm hella' eager to try out this plot I've come up to do with The Avengers.
Basically, backstory is when the Tesseract hit Earth, shards and fragments were lost - but could only be visible under microscopic lenses. Our OCs were having a hike or a nightly wonder through the woods, and saw a bright light come right towards them. Shrapnel of the Tesseract was embedded into their skin upon the impact of it right by their feet. Our OCs would of gained some sort of super ability / power, and would of attempted to live their normal every day lives as best as they could
The idea is that SHIELD only recently found out about these broken pieces, and even though the smallest amount was lost, they could trace where the remaining shards where - following it to our OCs. Once SHIELD and The Avengers find out they had gained abilities, it's a case of hiding them from forces like HYDRA, or even recruiting them as Avengers themselves.
Other things I
adore role-playing is Avenged Sevenfold, and Gotham (if anyone even heard of the show lmao). So, hit me up with a message and we can get things rolling
