some of this should be covered in jon's app when I finish it, but here is the basic family history in this AU
the stark family prides itself on having produced an exceptional amount of metahumans in the past (mainly because most of them prior to the 20th century were fairly famous miraculous rabbis). around 25 years ago or so four stark siblings-brandon, ned, lyanna, and benjen--formed a sort of power pack/fantastic four type superhero team to protect their home city of chicago. right around the time ned was set to marry plucky love interest catelyn tully, brandon and lyanna disappeared under mysterious circumstances. shortly after the birth of their first child, ned and cat adopted newborn jon under equally mysterious circumstances. ned took over the family superhero business and benjen went off in search of answers or whatever. he is not the only superhero in chicago but he has kind of a role like batman in gotham. cat and ned's children grew up with the understanding that they would probably develop powers and the standing rule is that all stark children will have the opportunity to join trailblazers when they are 18, so long as they go to college, but it's p likely younger starklets will find their way around that. combat training is available and encouraged, but not mandatory. they live in the north suburbs of chicago, and not the city proper. ned is obvi the sponsor and go-between for all the legal stuff. he probably has a job in municipal politics but I will leave that to any potential players.
the direwolves are just suspiciously large dogs that ned rescued as puppies in the course of his superhero work. the kids couldn't bear to give any away so they kept them all. idk if warging is allowed as like a secondary mutation in addition to more original primary powers?? it isn't super useful in a traditional superhero fight because the warg's human body must remain unconscious during the possession.
also if anyone is bringing any characters to berkeley (the college or the town), the bay area, or san francisco proper, hit me up!!! not unrelatedly, if anyone is apping any teleporters or pilots with their own aircraft, hit me up as well.
oh and if anyone was wondering about the tullys they are an old tammany hall irish family that for the most part still lives in new york
I mean they don't have to be but wouldn't it be cool if they were
