Synopsis: At the turn of the century, the world experienced a great change. Suddenly people with extraordinary abilities started to appear. At first, it was simply enhanced physical abilities . However, over time, the abilities started to become more varied and fantastical. Glowing in the dark, starting fires from nothing, and even flight were just some of the abilities that started popping up. Within five years, superhumans made up 20% of the human population. It started out chaotic at first. No one knew how to handle the influx of these special individuals - some revered them, some envied them, others feared them, and some even hated them. There were debates about whether they were to be locked up or allowed to live among the rest of society. However, five years later, things would change after humanity realized a truth that would shake the foundation of society for years to come - They were not alone. An alien species known only as the Harvesters invaded the Earth collecting people and attacking cities. It seemed like humanities fate would be sealed, five unlikely individuals came together to defend the human race- Nomad: a ninja mercenary with incredible mastery of martial arts. The Wraith: a vengeful killer who could summon dark constructs of biomass from their body and shapeshift. The Fallen: an ancient goddess of war that defied her pantheon and was cast down from grace. Velocity: an alien speedster and notorious thief that ran away from his home world and came to hide out on Earth. And finally, the Warden: an advanced android that tried to subjugate humanity in a quest for world peace before it was reprogrammed. These individuals, once considered villains, monsters and outcasts put aside their differences and their past in order to save the world and fight for a cause greater than themselves. Along the way, they also faced off against another alien. A powerful being which they had enslaved and subjugated to do their bidding. At first, this being seemed unstoppable and would have been the end of them had they not freed him from the Harvesters control. Now free and grateful to his liberators, the alien being aligned with the five to drive back the Harvesters and save the world. This powerful alien being with no clue of his origin at the time would remain on Earth and eventually fight alongside these redeemed heroes as the Sentinel. Together this group of six would become figures of great renown around the world and be known as the Champions. From there society was changes were made in order to accommodate for superhumans and others like them. Laws were put in place to both protect and restrict superpowered beings. Fail safes were made in case of uncontrolled individuals. Systems were put in place in order to identify these powerful individuals. Overall, life on Earth has changed, whether for better or worse remains to be seen.

Superhuman

Neohumans: An offshoot of the human species that are born with the neogene. This gene allows for controlled mutations that grant individuals superhuman abilities and an enhanced physiology. Activation of the neogene is usually in response to high stress situations, e.g., a man freezing in the cold may develop fire generation. There may be noticeable differences from normal humans such as the eyes, hair, size or even skin color. However, these changes are only cosmetic.

Espers: Beings that have developed psychic abilities. How these abilities come about vary. Some are naturally born psychic, others may obtain psychic through external means.

Mutants: These are people or animals have undergone drastic alterations on top of having superpowers due to mutations in their DNA either through birth or mutagenic agents. The changes can range anywhere from extra limbs, to altered bodily aspects, or even a complete change of their anatomy. Mutants are often the most visually distinct superhumans. Some have been so drastically mutated to the point they became physically and/or mentally unstable, resulting in horrific malformations and abnormalities.

Enhanced: These are the most unpredictable superhumans as they are not naturally born. Enhanced beings are all given their power through external means, e.g., genetic engineering, cybernetic augmentations or freak accidents.

Evolved: Humans mutated by the Hope Virus. Their powers center around biomass manipulation.
