The Hero Universe is the "official" setting for the line of role-playing games published by Hero Games. All setting books published by the company (with, to date, the sole exception of ''Psychic Wars'') are a part of this timeline. The (company's own PDF file ) (a free download) describing the universe gives a full description of the nature and timeline, the latter stretching from 100,000 BC to beyond AD 3000. The major genre-based settings — that is, those whose setting books are supported by additional volumes — include (listed chronologically within the timeline) The Turakian Age for ''Fantasy Hero'', Champions Universe for ''Champions'', Hudson City for ''Dark Champions'', and Terran Empire for ''Star Hero''. Other settings for these and other adventure genres are also available (including The Valdorian Age and Tuala Morn for ''Fantasy Hero'', Alien Wars for ''Star Hero'', and others), and more are in various stages of planning. The setting of the Hero Universe which contains modern-day superheroes is contained in the ''Champions Universe'' book. This setting includes Millennium City, Vibora Bay, and other cities and areas spanning the globe. ==Recurring characters== The Hero Universe has several "standby" characters who have endured since the beginning of ''Champions'' and the Hero System. Others, more recently created, have an influence over more than one period of its history (past, present, and/or future) and are worth noting in that context. The most noteworthy of these individuals are: * The Champions, a premier group of heroes (with a long history of disbanding and re-forming a generation later). * Doctor Destroyer, a dangerous and powerful megalomaniac. * Foxbat, a gadget-using lunatic who thinks he's a comic book character. * Kal-Turak the Destroyer, known as Takofanes in modern day, a powerful lich from centuries past. * Mechanon, a sentient robot determined to wipe out all organic life. * The Slug, a member of the Elder Worm alien species (below) who wants to turn all Humanity into his own kind. Long-standing organizations include: * UNTIL, the United Nations Tribunal on International Law, an international agency for fighting supervillains. * VIPER, an international criminal and terrorist organization. * Eurostar, a European supervillain team 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hero Universe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
