Some had called it Armageddon, others called it Rapture. Most, however, simply referred to that day as Equinox.

The world was less chaotic than one might have imagined. Sure, there were some uprisings here and there, but society for the most part sat down and did what their governments told them to do. But even without the threat of mass anarchy, ever since that fateful day, the world has never been the same. On that day, humanity entered sleep in the Winter and awoke in the Spring, face-to-face with a new ability that dwelt within them. For a few, the change was dramatic: some awoke to a spire of ice towering above their home and some to a vortex of steel eroding the land before them. For others, the change was less notable: some could suddenly see more colors of light and some could shift words about on a page. Governments of the world sprang to evaluate and adapt to the new risks—today, every person is tracked and classified according to their ability and its power to disrupt the now-fragile nature of society.

Three years have passed since the Equinox event. Society is stable and people have adjusted, but the sense of unrest that accompanied the shift hasn't faded. On one hand, the good in the world has been magnified by those with the newfound power to make a difference: those who care about the world and the people in it, who have taken the opportunity with a sense of purpose and hope. On the other hand, the evils of humanity have been emboldened to make the world their own. Terrorism is abundant and crime can't be stopped. In times like these, it feels like anything can happen, and the fate of the world has never been so uncertain.

To quell the social dishevel and fear of those with strong abilities, nations of the world banded together to develop the Societal Risk Classification System, a five-level power scheme that documents every living human's ability and threat level. Through advancements in wearable technology, any person can easily look up the ability and class of someone else through the Anomaly Database (ADB) at any time.



Some Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons have faced challenges because of their perceived danger. Companies are hesitant to hire those who could damage the perception of their brands, and people are reluctant to befriend someone who may one day end everything they love. However, there are activists who have voiced discomfort with pushing those who have the most disruptive abilities toward ends where they might use them. Given the recent nature of the Equinox, no laws are in place to mitigate the impact of such decisions.

So just to clarify, all of humanity was unconscious during the Equinox?

Once Equinox hit, people developed an ability the next time they slept. So if they managed to stay awake for a week, they'd develop an ability a week after everyone else. But people weren't forced asleep, so it was a rather asynchronous event.

It seems that it's stalled out, so probably not.
