Immortal personas everywhere are waking up to a new experience in role-playing unprecedented in any previous gaming system. Merlin, Hercules, Marilyn Monroe, these and many other figures of legend are very much alive...influencing affairs in the mortal Habitat just as they have for millennia past.
YOU are the fabric of legend. Now the time has come to shed mortal illusion and resume your place in Perpetual Society; to awake and rediscover the secrets of your own fantastic past.
Immortal is a roleplaying game in which the characters discover they were once part of the very fabric of the legends and myths that humanity held so dear. Having been "reborn" into a somewhat futuristic modern world, they find the very entity that created the immortal race attempting to enslave humanity and destroy this world they now call home. To make matters worse, their former masters have also returned to this world, and work towards their own goals of once again dominating the immortals on Earth.
Trapped now in the 21st century, the immortal race must learn from the mistakes of their past; mistakes that have almost cost the entire race their lives. And they must fight to save humanity, which unknowingly harbors the Sanguinary, the entity which created the immortal race millions of years ago.
Possessed of supernatural powers and the ability to shapeshift into primordial forms of animal, plant, and element, the immortals must wield their awesome powers in order to save their last refuge, Earth. Where once they played at being gods, now they must aspire to be so much more, for the sake of their own survival.
