Since the Memory **** files, I thought I might ask a question.

I'm currently thinking of setting up a campaign mission for my group.
However, to add a twist (since it's a long campaign), I want everyone to
start as normal characters (such as company man) and then to change into
their archetypes gradually. I thought this would be interesting. However, my
problem is - how do I get a group of norms together? Are they together
because they're the only surviving people in a bomb blast? I thought that
was very lame and weak in plot. So, any ideas?

If you remember the first SR novel, Sam was a completely normal corporate
guy who got caught up in a Run gone bad...he and his co-workers were
kidnapped and the rest would take WAY too long to recount (just read the
book).
