Kingdom Besieged: a Series Pitch
(because, why not?)
Nutshell
In a world the meta-humans took over, the family of a self-proclaimed king of England struggles to keep the Kingdom from falling apart while he’s gone. Or to carve it into something else entirely.
Setting
The heroes battled villains for decades. But both sides were operating outside the law, with even heroes occasionally pursued and prosecuted. Everything changed when they took control of the world.
Mutants and alien half-breeds shunned by society, magicians and shamans who heeded the call of bloodthirsty ancient civilizations, scientists and engineers who built corporations richer than most countries, martial artists and super soldiers who transcended humanity. They were too big to follow the rule enforced by mere humans.
In a cold winter of 2075 the political map changed overnight, as former pariahs carved their own domains. There were no heroes or villains anymore. For most of the former villains the laws of their new territories turned them into supreme authority, rightful rulers and protectors. Most heroes became self-righteous dictators and tyrants. There finally was balance.
Many say that the England got it the easiest way. The man who took over, an always prepared crime-fighter with a dark past, maintained the illusion of a rightful claim to the throne. Supported by a secret society of masked vigilantes, he forced the princess of the realm to marry him to ensure the country’s protection. And while the wars and riots raged outside it’s borders, the Albion thrived under his rule for almost three decades. But now, on the brink of a new century, something happened to him. What will the members of his family do to maintain the order? Will they want to do something?
