It all began years ago... thousands and thousands of years ago.
The humans were on the rise, hominization taking it's toll on the previous and current hominids that dwelled deep within the plains of Africa. Homo Sapiens, the anatomical humans, were destined to reign supreme. That was evident at the moment the aliens, known only as the Scientists, witnessed mankind kindle light into his unforgiving and dark world. In his palms he forged the light that would drive out all the dark and evils that held close to the planet known as Earth. But the Scientists had much better plans for this world. A test subject that would show the likelihood of success for their prototype. A genetic change...
So the Scientists released a false hominid into the world to greet the humans and their distant relatives. A species of primate so similar to the Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthals that little could be made of a difference. Seldom the fact that these creatures held inside them physical capabilities that could cause fear into the hearts of these early humans... They were super powered beings, basically gods to these weaker and inferior races of man. The humans bowed down to this small and insignificant species of super human, interbreeding, and soon genetically taking in this sub species, wiping it from the face of the Earth...
Fast forward a few thousand years prior to the modern day, in the area of Mesopotamia, many men were celebrated as the greats of the world. Kings who held city states and fought wars against one another were praised as gods by their people. But among them, a sole village stood out from the rest. A single small township known only as Wussuruinamubbirum, who had been known for being a place of worship for many priests. The civilians there were said to be half-gods, with the powers to raise the sun and the moon, and destroy oceans with blazing heat as hot as the sun itself. People feared this village, that would soon learn to dominate the world... But like all nations, it soon fell to the incoming forces of outsiders. European and Greek invasions of Africa in claim of power and wealth. Domination was the favored word of man at that time, and soon all went into chaos. History continued as it would, further plots on interest kept in, but the genetics behind the super powered beings was still unknown and untouched. Until the modern day.
The modern year is 2025, life on Earth is bearable still, but grew weaker as time passed by. Everyone on Earth has known struggle, but in the recent year, with the President of the United States of America pushing for growth of the sciences, development of nearly endless food using Plankton as a base was no longer a fantasy, and production of water using molecules collected in droves from moons and asteroids was every day occurrence. Life was getting better on Earth, but it still held tight to it's values as a society of old nature. Farms still littered the open fields of the rust belts of America, and life changed very little as time passed by. It seemed like it was still just the 1990s, with slightly higher technology, yet so much was possible. However, not everything was kept this way.
The rise of DNA testing showed geneticists that humans did hold genetics from previous species of humans, and it did not take long for them to discover how to activate these recessive genes within human test subjects, opening doorways in science towards a supposed better future of humanity. It took merely months for the discovery of super humans in a lab in Tokyo for America to open up the Extraordinary Police Academy of San Francisco, as well as it's partner college in Alberta. These schools, through a delicate procedure, reactivated the genes inside humans from the false hominids thousands of years ago to force Super Powers into teenagers, then proceeding to teach them how to use their new found power for the greater good. However, no one knew the true reasons behind this sudden addition to the work force. Normal police had seemed to work just fine, but to the governments of the world, they knew the true reasons. Civs, the term used for natural born super humans, were a lesser class that were hunted or profiled as disgusting and unnatural creatures, receiving prejudice throughout the years. Few have existed, and all of them within hiding, but in the year of 1995, sudden activation become widespread, causing a massive uprising in born Civs. They are not all fully aware, and every one of them has either fled or been captured and detained. The ones that remained alive, forced to become fugitives and terrorists, wreaked havoc on countries around the world with their awe striking abilities, forcing the governments to cover up the stories and spread the new of accidents, grease fires and cranes falling. People spread rumors of super humans, but they always ended at the butt of a joke. However, with the development of a super human police force, the government of America made it well known that super humans, the Civs existed, but that there were monsters and terrorists that hid in the clothes of patriots around the nation. Any and all information on them be sent to the police to deal with.
This became the basis of life in the recent years. Normal humans fearing these Civs like it is the boogyman hunting them from a closet, and praising these super powered police officers as patriot warriors, giving their bodies for their nation. The world's story is up for the people to decide... What happens could either lead to a prospering world... or it's downfall.
So, as above, the world is full of Civs (Natural Super Humans) and Freaks (Police Faction Super Humans). While there are quite a few, humans still outnumber them severely, so there aren't nations full of them, or something similar to that. The story of this site will adapt and change depending on the outcome of threads and fights that happen by players like you reading this! From destroying part of a city, to saving a nuclear power plant, your character's name could appear permanently on all updated history pages put here after every Chronicle or during Update week.
