Children go missing every day. Kidnappings, simple mistakes made by parents. The fact of the matter is that some are taken on purpose. And some people like to keep it that way. This the year 2054, a time in which technology advances have surpassed all imagination. Not the point that some Sci-fi people suspected, but it has advanced heavily. Time and time again, world disasters, such as global warming, nuclear wars, volcanic winters have been narrowly avoided, and with the arising of these catastrophes, the world has grown steadily closer. It is now united under a loose alliance of countries with the capital being in Tokyo, Japan. This city, even the country has grown into a metropolis that spans the entire island, with billions living in the skyscrapers that reach their pointed fingers into the sky, high enough to touch the clouds.
Tokyo is a beautiful city, the heights making those that are afraid of them dizzy to even look at. But few people note what lies below.
A government facility, not spanning miles wide under the earth, but certainly miles deep, underneath some unknown governmental building. It avoids all detection. Only people with the highest of clearances are allowed into the depths of the Ronin Facility. The name is a fallback on the past of the country, but it is not important. There are thousands of facilities like it and yet... not really.
Because now in the world, children of all ages are tested, parents believe that it is an IQ test to determine their place in the world, but in reality, it is a search for a specific Gene, what the scientists call the GOD gene. Ironically, it is a symbol of the evolution of mankind. The next step. It was first identified, completely by accident in a brain scan of a young child, and ever since scientists have been quietly looking for more of it. And the numbers of children born with it are growing at an alarming rate.
The first children to be discovered with it died in childhood, with no explanation. The government decided then that it was time to intervene, and study this advance in mankind. The children in which it was discovered were quietly stolen away from their homes, either to be replaced with clones, or shown up as missing. The children were studied and as soon as the scientists assigned the job realized what was causing the deaths, and the potential behind it, they asked the government to initiate Operation Black Heart. The children were transferred to a facility deep in the heart of Tokyo, where tests and examinations were quickly begun, with astounding results. Many still die, of course, the few that survive...
Ronin Facility has been in place for 40 years now. Some children have 'graduated' and started lives of their own, planted deep inside government agencies and military units where they are the most useful. But the ones still in the facility are under testing, and the results are beginning to make the scientists that are studying them begin to fear that this next step might mean the extermination of mankind as we know it.
1943 Hours, December 12th, 2054, there was an attempted breakout of Ronin Facility.
As you may have guessed, this includes mutations, powers ala X-Men, but not quite as advanced. People whose powers are potentially deadly, both to them and to the people around them. People that have been raised in secret, away from anybody else.
This story will be brought out in two 'seasons'. The first being the breakout of the facility. This will revolve around the GOD's that are breaking out, the scientists that are either helping them or getting killed as they try to stop them, and an investigation of how this happened. Season 2 will have two factions. The GOD's, as they continue their escape and try to expose what is happening to them and people like them, the 'Graduated GOD's', the ones that have adapted to their powers and have been living in the normal world for a while now, called back to contain the situation.
The powers that will be allowed will be the following:
Superior Strength
Superior Speed
Extreme Intelligence
Increased Healing Rate (Like Wolverine, from the X-Men)
Light Telekinesis (This power would only begin to be discovered in the Youths)
Light Telepathic Abilities (Again, only beginning to be discovered)
Very Light Precognition (The same as the previous two, only more so)
Each GOD will have the potential for any of these powers, but some have been more developed in others, due to experiments, training, and personal predisposition. The way that the powers will be displayed will be through a percentage basis. All powers will be starting out at 1%, totaling at 7% at the start, and being built from there. Telekinesis and Telepathic abilities, as the use of those will have been severely limited, will be restricted to a maximum of 10%(Telekinesis means that they have a shaky grip on the things that they can see, only being able to move one thing at a time, and it heavily drains their energy. Telepathic abilities will be restricted to light and sometimes confusing mind reading, coupled with an innate ability to read microexpressions on a person's face, as well as transmit thoughts to another person's head). As the precognitive powers haven't even been noticed by the scientists yet, only the youths, it will be restricted to a 5% growth (Being the ability to see what will happen to them specifically, as well as any deep emotional attachments, up to about two seconds in the future). The powers by now will be developed to 100%, divided as you like over the 7 different powers.
As for the growth of the rest of the powers, the limits will be set on you to decide, but if anything is too overpowered, I will ask you to alter it. At the end of season 1, you will be allowed to alter the power growth, as they will have used it in large amounts over their escape, and the limits on Telekinesis, Telepathy and Precognition will be lifted, somewhat.
Anyways, that is the gist. Any ideas can be presented, as well as new powers (again, only very basic stuff, and nothing elemental).A full CS will be presented with the opening of an OOC.
Thanks for reading!
