Brave New World is a story about superheroes in a modern-day, fascist America.
In the roleplaying game, players take on the roles of people known as deltas, people who have somehow gained fantastic powers `far beyond those of mortals.`
The America of Brave New World is a fractured place in which deltas are required to register themselves as lethal weapons and to report their movements no matter where they may go. The entire country's been under martial law since the early '60s, and it doesn't look like things are going to get better any time soon.
The players' heroes start out as members of the Defiance Movement, a loosely organized delta resistance organization dedicated to restoring the America they love to the democracy its Constitutional founders intended. Some are actively involved in creating positive change. Others are just doing their best to not be hauled in before the draft board and get either tossed into jail or pressed into military service.
It's a world in which basic human rights don't get much more than lip service, and you play one of the few people with the power to do something about it. Do you become an active Defiant, working against the militaristic state? Or do you join up? Or do you try to live a quiet life of your own, helping out innocents whenever you can?
It's your call.
