History *Roughly*

[The Guardian]

How long have abnormal people lived among the normal? Most likely from the start of time, it just might be that those without powers or special abilities were too blind to see. If they opened their minds and their eyes, they might have known us sooner.

It only took a big incident with a group of un-normal people for the world to realize, and they panicked. Who could they trust? Anyone they knew could be unnatural. Unnatural is such a harsh word. We are much more natural then they realize.

The governments of the various countries started to put laws into place that would make those who were not normal to be put into a database. Well, can't have someone who can walk through walls robbing banks I suppose. Indeed, we could see why some powers needed to be written down.

For those of us who wanted more freedom, they started to move to a new city, a city where no normals were at, the city named Adlehyde. This city is on an Island named, Meropis.

But we had fought in your wars, won you your freedom and our own, now have to leave our homes to be free? You can see why some would be bitter, others liked the idea of a city full of people like themselves. It wasn't like you could go to a social gathering and ask if someone was different.

Who runs this city? The man goes by the name of Dracon. He created it, funded it. Not much is known about this man as he is hardly seen outside his compound. It is rumored he is immortal, and quite rich.

Now the island of Meropis is not without it's laws. Dracon didn't want a city of sin and the like. The laws are enforced by robotic police. The laws are of course simple common sense.

The year is 2012. There are new threats for the not normal. There are groups of hunters who want to kill us or those who wish to experiment on us. We will fight against them for our survival.

The history of Abnormals is a hard one to figure out. Even before there were written records, there have been talk of people with special abilities. Once there were written records it became clear that for normal humans, anyone who was different in the since of them having special powers were thought to be a being higher than humans, maybe gods.

It maybe that some of these abnormals liked being revered as gods and played along.

As time changed however, it would not be all right to show your powers to anyone in fear of being called a witch and burned at the stake.

Then there was the time of nothing. Nothing was recorded about strange people. It wasn’t that abnormals died out but they simply got good at hiding.

In the year 2004 however that all changed. An abnormal that was about late teens, early 20s changed all of that. It happened at a busy mall where he worked and there was a gang that kept bothering him. You know humans, calling people freaks to hurt their feelings and such. But it may be that this young man was a bit unstable, or did not know that he was an abnormal, or simply didn’t know how to control his powers very well. All the news report said was that half of the mall was taken out by an explosion and this boy was unharmed. He was taken into custody and hasn’t been heard from since.

This paved the path for the countries to realize that there were others like that boy. There were strings of abnormals who were having trouble with their powers, none of them became out of controlled like that boy however. It turned into another kind of witch hunt as people were arrested for random things (whether they were really an abnormal or simply the victim of rumors is not yet known). Though it would be unlawful to burn them, they are just under lock and key.

Scientists have figured out that when there is any kind of comic event (planets lining up, solar flares, eclipses), abnormals have a harder time control their powers.
