Adepts- Individuals with superhuman powers. These powers, called Septima (or Septimal Powers) come from cells called Septisomes, the configuration of which allows the Adept to control the elements, manipulate technology, grants psyonic abilities, or shape reality. However, each Septima only effects one unique area, regardless of how powerful the Adept who wields them.
The appearance of these Adepts, which has increased in recent years, has caused a rift between these powered individuals, and the general populace. When the strain seemed to be reaching a breaking point, a rising corporation, called the Sumeragi Group, bought the majority of the world's power distribution grids, and presented their solution. Under their guidance, humans and Adepts would live in peace. The speed of the Sumeragi Group's research into Adepts was astounding, and brought many advances to technology.
However, there is a growing unrest in Adept communities around the world. National Leaders begin drafting laws in attempts to control Adepts, and activist groups begin claiming the Sumeragi group is involved in illegal activities, but these claims never seem to last.
Your adventure begins in the near future, when the Sumeragi Group is poised for solid control over major industrial points all around the world. You will play Adepts and humans in the small Asian country which houses Sumeragi's headquarters, and find out what awaits you in this brave new world.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Let me know! [Based on Azure Striker Gunvolt]
@DeathXtheXTree Depends on what you mean by villain. But yes, your motives can be whatever you want, however you want. But with how the CS is going to be, no one will be technically overpowered. Well, that's the goal anyway.
@DeathXtheXTree All can. Once I get the CS up, you'll see. And Psyonic powers are pretty neat. And versitile. You'll have to define exactly what grade/type it is initially though. Septema are weirdly specific like that.
No illusions, the character can literally change the targets memories to changing their senses. Like say I brought you over for dinner and it was all fancy shmancy like, but I tinkered with your memories to the point where it tastes like the food in front of you, but its cardboard that yer eating. @tobiax
Sensory overwrite... hm... that would be rather difficult. But I;ll allow it I think. There'd have to be a time or distance limit though of the effect after.
