Over time, two different groups came to different understandings about how the world works. They are the Naturia and the Celestia. The Naturia came to the belief that nature is the drive behind everything, and created a deep connection between themselves and nature. This connection was so deep that some gained powers.
The same occurred with the Celestia, who believe that the world operated based on time and space.
These two groups have had many skirmishes over the years, but eventually came to a treaty after world war two, and formed a council with nine members on it.
In the treaty, purposeful forcing of understanding on other people was banned(which causes potentials to gain powers in either the Naturia or Celestia category, based on the understanding.).

In modern times, the council has receded into the background, and rarely calls for meetings due to peaceful times.
But then, one of the council members go missing. News of an attack is spreading.

Your character can be a council member(three slots have already been filled by me.), a normal person, the 'evil person', a person on the bad guy's side, or a potential. You also must decide if your character knows about two sides or not, and if they do, how they know.



Potentials are people who, if they reach the same understanding about the world as people, say, on the council, will gain powers. Some may already have faint versions of their unawakened power showing.
