The Advent Age. The term granted at the clear beginning of a new era during the turn of the millennium. Human's with strange powers have existed throughout all of time but it was only recently did they become fully revealed. This advanced race of humans with special powers became known as Advent-Humans or Meta-humans. They were marked by a genetic signature that allowed them to develop abilities that defied the laws of physics. The Advent-Human population hit a large boom and soon enough millions of Advent-Human's walked the earth. Furthermore, beings of myth and legend emerged from hiding. Preliminary testing proved that the same genetic signature, although on a more drastic and precise scale, was likely the cause for the creation of werewolves, vampires, centaurs, 'spirits', and nearly anything imaginable and all of their many variants including some who could pass this signature onto normal humans and convert them to one of their race.
Amongst the inevitable chaos that ensued one man brought control. Isaac Everten. An alleged Advent-human himself and cunning businessman, he made a deal with the United States. He acquired a small section of land from the USA and granted it independence. A new city/state-country was formed as a strong ally of the US government. Isaac Everten used his resources and position of new leader to band together Advent-Humans, scientists, and those of the races of myth together. Very quickly his new country became a world power, the center of Advent-human research and development. The sole place that could deal with advent-human chaos and bring upon a much needed order. The country was named after it's first leader, Everten.
Only nine years later and the city-country of Everten is a bustling metropolis. The whole structure defies logic. There is no border control, anyone may freely be a citizen. The major prison facility DRESC is run solely by inmates who can leave whenever desired. No formal military is present. Yet somehow a form of peace is established. Things run smooth on the outside. But is it really? What is the secret behind the success of Everten? How can a city comprised of powerful beings with a large capacity for destruction avoid mass destruction and death? Wouldnt it be inevitable that SOME sort of catastrophe would happen at least occasionally? What about foreign interference?
Who said that it really was all it seemed to be? So begins the story of the city known only as Everten during The Advent Age...
