SteemHeroes is a creative, story and character-driven comic book universe that exists entirely within Steemit and is being built by the users themselves.

In a nutshell, SteemHeroes lets you
- Invent your own comic book characters!
- Unleash them into a growing fictional universe!
- Watch them fight other characters, and earn SBD rewards!

There’s a lot of bits and pieces of SteemHeroes, so lets go over the basics to get a 10,000 foot view of what SteemHeroes is all about:

THE UNIVERSE

SteemHeroes takes place in a fictional world in the near future where a mining company has discovered and gained complete control over a new element named Olympium, which is infinitely more energy dense than fossil fuels. It has revolutionized the world, but thousands of people worldwide have been infected by it, giving some of them superhuman abilities.

These people, known as OPS, have either learned to live with their afflictions or they've joined one of the following 5 organizations, each with their own motives:

The Council

OPS who choose to lend their abilities to the US government become “Counselors”, employed by a new branch of the US military.

Nightwatch

OPS that prefer to dish out their own brand of vigilante justice without the restraints of a bureaucratic and restrictive government agency.

The Martrys

Those who have chosen to band together and exploit their abilities to create a new organized crime syndicate.

Blackrogue

OPS who are too unhinged and unpredictable to fit in with The Martyrs have assembled into a loose group where everyone has their own motivation, but have banded together so someone has their back.

The Ravenwood Agency

This mysterious organization employs high level OPS that act on the behalf of Zenethen, the corporation in control of the world’s Olympium supply.

THE REWARDS

Once enough characters join SteemHeroes, we will start to carry out fights between heroes and villains. Anyone can vote for the winner, and the creators of the characters involved in the fight will split the SBD “purse” generated by the fight post! The characters will also earn experience points that will be used to level up their characters to make them more epic and famous within SteemHeroes!
