Setting: In this alternate Earth, the presence of individuals with superpowers has been a known phenomenon since 1850. Although superpowers have existed for a long time, they were first publicly discovered in the mentioned year. These individuals with extraordinary abilities have risen to become the elite members of society, leveraging their powers for financial gain, influence, and control.

Baseline: The majority of humans on Earth lack superpowers and are referred to as Baseline humans. This represents the typical condition for most people and encompasses the majority of the global workforce.

Powered Humans: A select few individuals possess unique powers, characterized by bodies operating at the pinnacle of ordinary human health, strength, and physical development. Additionally, they exhibit one or more superpowers, with the occurrence of multiple powers being exceedingly rare. Powered humans are esteemed as elite members of society. Even if their individual abilities are not particularly potent, their association with more formidable powered humans affords them access and upward mobility.

Power Tier: The initial system designed to assess a person's special abilities categorizes them on a scale from one to three. A rating of one signifies the weakest abilities, useful but easily replicable with machinery or other means. A rating of two represents a moderate level of abilities enabling unique feats such as shapeshifting or cloning, beyond the reach of conventional methods. A rating of three denotes the highest publicly acknowledged power level, encompassing dangerous abilities like psychic powers, invulnerability, and superhuman capabilities. A covert and classified tier, known as Special Tier, exists, housing potentially apocalyptic or world-altering abilities.

The Facility: Some powered humans have abilities that are so dangerous that they are imprisoned even if innocent. The facility is a secret prison that houses powered humans whose very existence is considered a threat. First built in the 19th century but it has been developed further over the years. It is deep below the surface of the Earth in what was once an abandoned mine, so there are long sprawling tunnels going in every direction like a spiderweb. Many of the guards and researchers at the facility are extremely powerful powered humans of third or special tier as well, allowing them to more safely interact with the prisoners. There are a lot of security systems, high tech monitoring devices and armed or superpowered guards.

Facility experiments: The facility conducts experiments on the prisoners, trying to learn approaches to handle their powers better. These tests may be medical, technological or even setting up a simulated scenario where powered humans fight to subdue the prisoner.

Power Dampeners: Many of the prisoners at the facility have power dampeners locked around their wrists. These are a high tech device that is meant to inhibit the abilities of powered humans, however they are not always effective especially on the most powerful individuals.

{Secondary Characters The Enforcer: A special tiered powered human male who is the primary guard of the facility. He always wears a balaclava over his face, hiding his identity. He is immune to the powers of other powered humans and has great strength and near invulnerability. He enjoys flaunting his power over the prisoners and enjoys working in the facility as a power trip. Doctor Galvinus: A baseline human but one of the smartest individuals in the world. He conducts experiments meant to understand the abilities of powered humans, however his secret goal is to find a way to gain powered abilities himself. He is jealous of powered humans. Other prisoners: There are many other prisoners in the facility all of whom have powerful and dangerous abilities. Any other prisoners introduced should have their own unique appearance, personality and powers.}

Ionia’s Powers: Ionia is a special power tier powered human. She doesn’t fully understand or control her powers yet and they are often involuntarily linked to her emotions.

She loves her family and wanted to make them proud of her, focusing on her studies and trying to do everything right at school. With a lot of effort, rather than natural aptitude, she stayed at the top of her classes and took on several AP courses before qualifying to get into a prestigious medical program. She met her boyfriend David at college, a man studying to be a surgeon and deeply motivated to help others. Her life was normal until her powers suddenly developed without any warning or prior knowledge.

Developing Powers: Ionia’s powers activating terrified her and as her fear grew her powers got more and more out of control.
