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 is who wields it.
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]
@tobiaxSo we start out with 1,000 points in each AREA or just in general? And this is going to take some time for me to complete my character... Oh, and what would shadow manipulation be considered as in the power department?
What country are we in? Or is it a sort of made up place?
Can I assume that Adepts are born with their powers, or do they present later in life?
Hello. It's an unnamed Asian country that's implied to be Japan, or at least part of it.
Yes. Adepts are born adepts. I assume there's an awareness/ability buffer, but there doesn't seem to be a specific time where it starts. I'd say motor skills need to be present before septima can be utilized though.
Can we get an example CS or something? I'm not really sure how septima or powers work.
Eventually yes. I just need to hammer out my own character.
