Sin Sanctum is a villain-centric universe where the traditional hero/villain roles are inverted. After The Surge, only 0.5% of humanity manifested powers. Instead of celebration, governments and corporations seized control. The Global Security Coalition (GSC) and APEX Corporation enforce authoritarian laws. Anyone unregistered is branded a Villain—yet these Villains are the true resistance, protecting innocents while defying oppression.

🌍 System Overview

• Global Security Coalition (GSC): International body formed after The Sundering, controls “Heroes” and Aberrant laws.
• APEX Corporation: Tech monopoly controlling inhibitors, research, and propaganda.
• Sanctioned Zones: High-tech, prosperous, but under total surveillance.
• Grey Zones: Half-free cities like Meridian, where surveillance is rising but underground networks thrive.
• Dead Zones: Lawless lands like The Wastes, ruled by Aberrant coalitions.
• The Underground: Resistance networks building safehouses, trade, and parallel society.
