In a world filled with super powered Deviants, portals to other dimensions, and cannibal-ghost zombies, Maya Williams is a smart girl. Smart enough to hack reality itself. Of course being a mad scientist did come with a few... flaws... But what teenager didn't have issues? Be it family, romance -a lack there of-, or the occasional bout of megalomania and thoughts of world domination. Regardless! No amount of teenage drama or mental instability was going to stop her from becoming a hero! Just as soon as she could get the voices in her head to quit bickering anyway. --- Please Note: This is a version of a forum quest I run following a teenage Mad Scientest with heroic tendencies in the same city/setting as my other stories the Huntsman's Quest and Get Ink'd. Meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
