### **Description of the RPG world: "Heroes and Villains"** #### **General Setting** A world similar in appearance to ours, but with one key feature: **10% of the population are "Heroes"**, possessing supernatural abilities. The remaining 90% are ordinary people, forced to live in the shadow of those who are stronger, faster and more dangerous than them. Heroes are not always noble, and villains are not always obvious.
