First of all, this quest will contain mature themes and content (mostly gross and scary stuff, as well as naughty words and people being awfull to each other). While not explicit (both due to SV rules and me not being good enough at writing to avoid sounding like a 13 year old edgelord), I'd still not recomend this quest for young or sensetive people.

I've been reading a couple of those "first supers in the 20s" quests that have been showing up lately and decided to jump on the bandwagon with a slightly different spin, namely the good old Trenchcoat Brigade with their blend of Horror, Urban Fantasy and Noire.
This quest uses Mutents and Masterminds 3rd Edition with the Lethal Damage and Corruption optional rulesets, as well as a houserule for the Fearless advantage.

Fearless: Every time the character has to resist a fear effect, the character rolls one aditional dieand picks the highest result. This advantage also provides immunity to fear effects with a level lower than half the character's PL and reduces the character's madness gains from fear by one.

Fair warning: I'm not an expert on American history or life in the 20s or the Occult, so expect a couple of inaccuracies and handwaves. Just roll with the comicbook logic. Also real life has been a bit erratic lately, so updates might not be as regular as desired. I'll try to post something at least once a week, but I can't promise anything.

Ah, the roaring twenties. It's not that long ago that all of Europe was on fucking fire with everyone killing each other in the trenches on the Great War. And that there was that flu epidemic that killed some more. But all in all, humanity managed to pull though, and now it's a nonstop Party fuled by Jazz and bootleg Giggle Juice here in the US of A. The Mob is certainly happy about the new buisness.
Unfortunatly, all this hasn't exactly stoped things from going bumb in the night, and even if mere mortals now have machine guns and poison gas, there is still plenty of nasties out there just waiting to do something unpleasant to an unsuspecting soul. Of course, whenever something like that happens, the fallout tends to inevitably ending up falling on your shoulders in this fine city. At least it pays the bills, most of the time.

What city it that?
[] Boston, MA
A nice looking city with a buisy harbour that just so happens to be smack in the middle of New England with it's whacko Bluebloods in spooky mansions and strange villages that totaly aren't worshiping eldritch horrors or inhabited by evil fish people. And don't forget about Salem, or as people like you call it, "America's Witchcraft Central." (focus on gothic and lovecraftisn horror)
[] New York, NY
The citty that never sleeps, the biggest city in the whole fucking world. A metropolis bustling with activity day and night. Unfortunatly, this also extends to the other side of the cutain. (A little bit of everything, although some things don't work in big cities. Also a bit more mundane Noire stuff)
[] New Orleans, LA
Jazz, Swamps and the secrets of Voodoo. The crecent city is a city of manny mysteries. (Voodoo and Creepy Swamps, also a little bit lovecraft)
[] San Francisco, CA
The city by the Bay. One of the most "cosmopolitan" cities in America. Unless you happen to be chinees, since from the poverty and squalor in it's Chinatown grows a wretched hive of scum and villany. A fertile ground for wicked forces and a monument to the city's hypocricy. (Oriental Mysticism focus)

General Information: Most gods exist. Some are dormant, severly weakend by a lack of worshipers or other causes, while others are active and constantly attempting to spread their infulence throughout the globe. Most pantheons are at best indfferent to each other.

It ain't easy living in San Francisco, especially if noone wants to hire you despite having a degree in Pharmacology, all they see is a chinese woman. So now you're stuck here in Chinatown, running your late Uncle's old Apothecary and Curio shop (You still have trouble refering to it as your shop) after your cousin Shu ran off to Russia to play revolutionary and was never heared from again. You feel sorry for the youngster, he just wasn't the same after getting half his face melted off by mustard gas. Still not a good reason to abandon his legacy and dump all of this onto you.
Your Uncle wasn't just an old man selling medicines, you see. He kept the people round here safe from otherworldy threats and did his best to prepare you to carry on his work. Of course, that's easier said than done, you bearly know where to start other than keeping Shin Fei's thugs out of the shop.

What are you going to do first?
[]Work in the shop
[]Patroll the streets of chinatown.
[]Something strange is happening during the festival of hungry ghosts!
[]Try to reach out to potential allies
[]Make a move against Shin Fei
-[]what exactly?
