A group of young people running away from an orphanage are granted the power of the Nobilis! What super-powers will they be granted, why does the 600-mile long snake want to give away magic gifts, and should they trust Dr Maxwell?

Setting note:
Nobilis characters possess considerable power over one aspect of creation - such as fire or paper clips. While not all Nobilis are created equal, the chief limit on their power is their creativity. Cinematic awesomeness should overcome gritty realism. :)

Time, Mischief, Machines, Dreams, Order - These are the demigods who serve the Imperator of Dreams and Butterflies. Humans raised to godlike power, these Nobles have defended Earth from the constant incursions of the Excrucians - beings from beyond reality itself.

But now something new has drawn their focus. When a strangely dressed man is found lying on the road in a typical suburb, little do the residents realise that this will draw the attention of gods who sense a new threat to the Prosaic and Mythical realms that lie beyond their sight.

Time once held no meaning for you and your allies, until you were caught in a World Cage. You are the agents of an God known as the Lord/Lady of Dreams and Butterflies, granted a shard of its power and given near complete control over one of its Domains.
