WHAT IS THE RISING PHOENIX PROGRAM to a hero?

The Rising Phoenix Program is a classified rehabilitation initiative born out of necessity, desperation, and hope. Ran out of a renovated South Side firehouse, R.P.P. recruits criminals not for punishment, but for redemption. You were selected because you’re talented. You were approved because you’re dangerous. And you were accepted because you’re needed. Instead of rotting in a cell,

you’ve been given a deal:

Serve the city. Save lives. Rise above your past. In return,

you get:

• -A clean slate

• -A sealed criminal record

• -Access to tech, training, and support

• -A chance to prove who you really are

​

Some call it a gamble. Some call it a second chance. Your division leader calls it paying it forward.

WHY CHICAGO?

Because Chicago is a battlefield wrapped in a skyline. Gang wars enhanced with experimental tech spill into downtown. Super-powered criminals carve up territory from the West Side to the Loop. Corrupt corporations run underground labs beneath the river. Meta human smugglers traffic abilities like narcotics. It’s a city that needs people who know the streets, know the game, and know how to survive. People like you.

YOUR OFFER

You are standing at a crossroads between who you were and who you could become. The R.P.P division leader steps forward, Contract in one hand, your file in the other. “I’m not here to judge ye, I've been in ye shoes.” he says. “I’m here to offer ye a choice. Join the Rising Phoenix Program. Change ye life. Burn down the old one. Because if you want out, ye gotta rise above it.” He pauses, looking you in the eye. “So what’s it gonna be? Ye walking back to that cell… or rising with us?”
