Purity

Purity is the last line against a chaotic world. Purity abhors the masquerade of monsters taking over our world. In a place of war and constant threat of death, purity is the new eden. And we welcome you who are pure, we welcome you all.

Culture

Purity believes in humanity. Pure humanity, no powers, no experiments, nothing that could be considered abnormal. They want to live in a world free of super-humans and villains. They fear even letting their children hear or talk about super heroes because they think it might cause them to gain or seek out powers.

Puritans started by living in seclusion away from most cities where heroes would be. They also refused any help from heroes. There have been a number of accidents where hero and villains where involved that gave Puritans the social support for them to be recognized. So much so that there are now purity states. These are cities or states that have banned people with powers from entering. They also ban and regulate all media mentioning people with powers, cherry picking the worst examples when they need to. They even produce their own media now since so much entertainment is now intertwined with heroes.

Public Agenda

Purity aims to have get heroes and villains outlawed in as much of the world as they can. They want to live normal lives with normal problems.

Assets

  • Land - Purity have entire cities and states and some international territories that fly the Puritan banner.
  • Buildings - Plenty of buildings in puritan areas that help their cause or just help bring funds to the cause.
  • Troops - Lots of people who sign up feel powerless against heroes, many sign up for the puritan militia. Not only to protect themselves from super powered people, but from outside intervention.
  • Farms - Purity is almost entirely self sufficient and have their own farms, but still some things need to be traded for.
  • Media Network - Their own media network is essential. They need to fight against outside influence at all cost or the younger generations would simply leave.

History

Purity began in 1977, people with powers have been in public for years, but after the Nola Cola incident they were slowly popping up more and more. At first it was novelty, aberrations that were harmless. Until mentally disabled children began being born, unfortunately with powers. Within a couple years, half of a small Oklahoma town was destroyed, and the baby responsible along with his family were rumored to be whisked away in black vans. It's a rare occurrence for a baby to display powers, but that just makes the outcome worse.
One of the places that was destroyed was a small family run shop, no one was hurt but the destruction of the store ruined the finances of the family. The insurance didn't cover it and it broke the family down, who fractured under the pressure. The kids skipped town as fast as they were able and the parents divorced. The mother of the family, could not get over how one baby could do this, and she imagined the danger a whole world with things like him could do. She moved away into a small ranch and started Purity, where she was mocked for years until accidents kept happening. People started slowly trickling in, and Purity started reaching ears in all parts of America. In 2009 Oklahoma finally reached enough votes to became the first purity state, and now after three decades, Purity is international.

Foreign Relations

Purity States and cities are still American, they are just legally protected, or discriminatory towards powered people. Anyone who isn't powered can freely pass through, but Purity has had laws put in for their regards. Where as any powered people entering will be given automatic jail time or worse can be killed outright as a threat to the state, any supes entering will be federally charged and hunted by the U.S. government and their boots.
