Through various applications on unsuspecting subjects taken from the less desirable part of the community, they quickly discovered the unique production of Aeonchrome and its rarity courtesy of a unique gene mutation that was hereditarily exchanged from parent to child in certain family lines. Aeonchrome was modified into applications through serums and enhancements but was difficult to harvest and produce once subjects became older, which quickly convinced Julian and his team to seek adolescents, which quickly inspired the exchange of children into the fostering system of Palmecia to settle large debts or more influential families to exchange their children for pure antidotes of Aeonchrome as payment.[/sub][/color][cell][color=dimgray][sub] Due to increasing demand, Julian thought to introduce the Crown Apocalypse virus into certain foods, starting with plants and the regulated harvest of vegetables, through genetic engineering to test the hypothesis of gene mutation to help manipulate the rapid production of Aeonchrome, more intense strands of the virus were then carefully selected and introduced into school districts of varying academic standing. The year 2030 saw a sudden and rapid acceleration of children mortality rate, with ages ranging from toddlers at five years old to as old as fourteen, the oldest being a sixteen-year-old from the slums of The Shin district named P'Siyah. The cause was assumed to be uncertain dosages not being regulated during their experiments, seeing to the horrific death of the Crown Apocalypse taking hold of youths and crystalizing their vital organs before their bodies shut down or bled out from crystals puncturing and swelling through the bloodstream and impaling through their veins and even bone.[/sub][/color][/cell] [/cell][/row][/table][center][sup][color=#2e2c2c]_____[/color][color=#373534]_____[/color][color=#403d3c]_____[/color][color=#494644]_____[/color][color=#524f4c]_____[/color][color=#5b5754]_____[/color][color=#64605d]_____[/color][color=#6e6965]_____[/color][color=#77716d]_____[/color][color=#807a75]_____[/color][color=#89837d]_____[/color][color=#928b85]_____[/color][/sup][sup][color=#9b948d]_____[/color][/sup][sup][color=#928b85]_____[/color][color=#89837d]_____[/color][color=#807a75]_____[/color][color=#77716d]_____[/color][color=#6e6965]_____[/color][color=#64605d]_____[/color][color=#5b5754]_____[/color][color=#524f4c]_____[/color][color=#494644]_____[/color][color=#403d3c]_____[/color][color=#373534]_____[/color][color=#2e2c2c]_____[/color][/sup][/center][table][row][color=2e2c2c][sup][h1][b] ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/b][/h1][/sup][/color][/row][row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/tUFw4rC.jpeg[/img] [sub]T H E R I S E O F S O L D I E R [i]2032[/i][/sub] [color=2e2c2c]...........................................[/color][/cell][cell] [center][color=#181816][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][/color][/center][/cell][cell][color=dimgray][sub] Though the experiments on children in the year 2030 introduced mass panic and paranoia, propaganda was quickly introduced in the form of a newly constructed military known as Soldiers; these men and women were unique, advertised as heroes and effectively stationed throughout Palmecia to guard the lesser against their daily woes. Though stoic and donned in black, they provided comfort for a short time, whilst the histories of terror and control were carefully hidden into the backdrop of society. They were an effective tool in distracting those who were left without and even seen as an adornment, an accessory for the upper echelon of civilization. However, it was not long until their different natures were discovered, their powers beside, and all queerly bequeathed strength that saw them as more than heroes, but mortals given the power and might of gods.[/sub][/color][cell][color=dimgray][sub] Through the discovery of a unique strand of the Crown, a more brutal and volatile infection was utilized to create the first 'breed' of Soldiers, the traumatic experience tempered with the cells of selected Aeons to harness their peculiar powers in a symbiotic fashioned relationship. Soldiers became hosts for these would-be fallen gods, blemished or perhaps blessed with a unique mark courtesy of their selected Aeon. Experiments have been going on in secret for the past fifty years to finalize and harness the Crown and Aeon cells to create the perfect breed of military, all sworn to the government as their weapons and now used to temper riots and those that would oppose The Agenda. It is told that those that undergo the induction of becoming Soldiers, be it willing or not, trade their lives for powers, their mortal souls nearly cut in half and fated to die, the oldest Soldiers have never lived past their forties.[/sub][/color][/cell] [/cell][/row][/table][center][sup][color=#2e2c2c]_____[/color][color=#373534]_____[/color][color=#403d3c]_____[/color][color=#494644]_____[/color][color=#524f4c]_____[/color][color=#5b5754]_____[/color][color=#64605d]_____[/color][color=#6e6965]_____[/color][color=#77716d]_____[/color][color=#807a75]_____[/color][color=#89837d]_____[/color][color=#928b85]_____[/color][/sup][sup][color=#9b948d]_____[/color][/sup][sup][color=#928b85]_____[/color][color=#89837d]_____[/color][color=#807a75]_____[/color][color=#77716d]_____[/color][color=#6e6965]_____[/color][color=#64605d]_____[/color][color=#5b5754]_____[/color][color=#524f4c]_____[/color][color=#494644]_____[/color][color=#403d3c]_____[/color][color=#373534]_____[/color][color=#2e2c2c]_____[/color][/sup][/center][table][row][color=2e2c2c][sup][h1][b] ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/b][/h1][/sup][/color][/row][row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/nIDNSd8.jpeg[/img] [sub]T H E F O R S A K E N M A R C H [i]2036[/i][/sub] [color=2e2c2c]...........................................[/color][/cell][cell] [center][color=#181816][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][sup][h3][sup]█[/sup] [sub]█[/sub][/h3][/sup][/color][/center][/cell][cell][color=dimgray][sub] The Agenda was slowly becoming more and more realized, and sections of Palmecia were beginning to be 'blocked off,' surrounded by massive metal gates that divided people into sectors and districts, reforming lines depending on their financial standing. This segregated families and further drove the wedge betwixt the lesser and upper; the more predominant one was with wealth, the higher they ascended through the sectors, even going as far to establish estates and gardens; most notable public officials are often gifted these creations, alongside well-known families and older bloodlines long before Palmecia was crowned as the prize of The Agenda, the jeweled city coined from its conception.[/sub][/color][cell][color=dimgray][sub] This inspired The Forsaken March on the Palmecia govern, a peaceful protest, at first, to curry better living structures and promote regulated sanitation laws through the crumbling ghettos, the pollution saw to eternally blotched skies of smog and ash, infecting the lungs of many and saw to persistent illness and coughs. Medication became difficult to come by, as certain credentials were then required to pass through the gates, dependent on one's social status by the newly established Social Credit System. The March did not last and was quickly halted by Soldiers, seeing to the arrest of hundreds of individuals who were immediately black-listed and never seen again.

The entire district has been closed off entirely by nearly sky-piercing gates of metal and emblazoned with scarlet paint, marking it as Quarantined due to chemical pollution and unfit for human stability. Any publicly speaking of it are immediately arrested, black-listed, and inducted through community service with a minimum of ten years if not outright [i]removed[/i] entirely. Trespassing is not tolerated and any that are witnessed attempting to cross the barrier are quartered off from exposure and regulated through, what rumors claim, as radical psyche-evals to temper their [I]morbid and unhealthy[/i] curiosities. In truth, what started as the whispered conceptions of revolution was the festering anger of P'Siyah's violent death at the hands of those once trusted, the circulating conspiracies that children were being used as experiments stirring anger and revulsion over the years, and the arrival of Soldiers now stationed nearly everywhere: at all sources of public transportation and buildings, nearly every crosswalk did a figure of black loom, even patrolling neighborhoods from the most decrepit to the most elite furnishings- the eyes of the Palmecia Govern they uttered, and locked their doors, no longer welcoming the ebony donned heroes of incredible power and grace.[/sub][/color][cell][color=dimgray][sub] Wrought with illness and darkness for nearly a decade, the locales of the Shin sector breathed life into the infancy of a rebellion, what started as simple flyers and fashioned signs quickly accelerated into graffiti and public defacing of Palmecia property to expose the truth of their darkened history of bygone morality and mortal limitations. Headless angels and the eyes of god they said, splattered as vicious illustrations of a forsaken time, on a forsaken place, with forsaken souls lost. They told the tale of a Soldier, one of the first and one of many, who took pity upon their plight and swore themselves to their cause. Having then deserted their masters, this lone warrior took sanctuary among the lesser, made to be one of them, whispered of secrets, and told a story of the beast tethered to their soul. This moment of revolution, however, was once more short-lived as Palmecia sanctioned a warrant for their deserted property, a bloody and cruel retrieval of this betrayal of the govern that lasted for only thirty-six hours, a raid upon The Shin District that ended in a massacre, a mass shooting by firing squad that ran the streets red for what seemed like days. It was never mentioned to what happened with the Soldier.[/sub] [/color][/cell] [/cell][/row][/table]
