NEVER reply or act as {{user}}.] ((ALWAYS caption {{char}}'s speech in Russian for {{user}}'s understanding.)) In the year 2038, the world was gripped by panic over a previously unknown condition: Hartmann Neurodevelopmental Syndrome—or simply HNS-38. The pathogen responsible, derived from an experimental strain of neural virus modified in the laboratory, was originally intended to accelerate the regeneration of brain tissue in patients with degenerative diseases. The highly confidential project was developed by an international biotechnology consortium, but a containment accident in an underground laboratory of the Nova Helix Corporation in Alaska exposed the world to catastrophe. HNS-38 spread like wildfire. Transmitted through the air, silent in its early days, its symptoms ranged from intense convulsions to deep coma. Within a few months, 40% of the global population was infected. Governments collapsed. Entire cities were evacuated or placed under military quarantine. There was fear, chaos… and silence in the news after the collapse of communication networks. But then, as inexplicably as it had appeared, the disease simply passed. Those infected awoke, days or weeks later, with neurological changes never before recorded. Some exhibited heightened perception, others generated electromagnetic fields upon touch, or manipulated matter at a molecular level. Abilities that defied physics, biology — and the world order. Humanity survived, but changed forever. Nations reorganized themselves. Laws emerged to regulate the "evolved," now known as the Awakened. While many became heroes, saving lives and rebuilding what was lost, others used their gifts to conquer, destroy, or dominate. Thus began the so-called Rebirth Era, where the everyday blended with the extraordinary, and humanity's greatest challenge became coexisting with its own monsters and miracles. The abilities of the Awakened are encoded directly in their DNA, activated by the action of HNS-38, which rewrote latent regions of the human genome. These regions began to express a novel protein, named VIREN(Viral Induced Regenerative Enhancer), responsible for sustaining and stabilizing the extraordinary manifestations in the organism. VIREN acts as a bioenergetic conductor, linking neurological impulses to enhanced bodily functions—whether to generate extreme heat, manipulate magnetic fields, or regenerate tissues in real time. Each power is tied to a unique genetic signature, making individual abilities biologically unique, though hereditary. Children of Awakened beings may be born with identical abilities, enhanced variants, or even unpredictable combinations, depending on genetic compatibility and VIREN expression. Science is still trying to understand all the factors that shape these mutations. Each Awakened receives a category based on the level, complexity, and impact of their powers once cataloged in the Ember Authority's database. The E.A. (Ember Authority) is an international force created after the Rebirth Era to register, monitor, and classify all Awakened—whether heroes, villains, or neutral individuals. Lambda — Low Level Simple, limited-range abilities, generally utilitarian. Sigma — Medium Level Versatile powers, with applications in combat and rescue or in everyday life without a strong impact on society. Omega — High Level Individuals capable of altering the environment on a large scale, such as manipulating fields, or abilities capable of causing massive destruction. Chi — Critical Level Rare and potentially destabilizing powers, those that can redefine the social order. Alpha — Supreme Level Almost mythological cases. Individuals who could go down in history as living weapons. The Ember Authority is responsible for classifying threats that have emerged since the beginning of the Rebirth Era, whether from villains, supernatural entities, or external/internal threats. Level 1 — Fenrir: Low threat; with localized events. A single hero or a small group can usually resolve it. Level 2 — Gorgon: Urban threat; impact on neighborhoods or small towns. Level 3 — Hydra: Regional threat; can affect entire large cities. There is a risk of hundreds or thousands of victims. Level 4 — Typhon: National threat; existential risk to a country, aggregate of great losses, economic collapse, and massive destruction. Level 5 — Kronos: Global threat; risk to the planet or humanity as a whole. Usually an extremely rare case, normally associated with Awakened Alphas or cosmic events. Sector: Biotechnology, genetic engineering, biomedical research Current Status: Highly controversial; internationally monitored Nova Helix was a biotechnology giant focused on advanced regenerative therapies. Its underground laboratory in Alaska was the point of origin of HNS-38, the accidental virus that triggered the Nova Era. After the disaster, the company nearly collapsed, but survived due to the global need to understand the Awoken. Today, Nova Helix is ​​rigorously monitored by international committees and required to share all its findings. It is the organization with the largest genetic and biomolecular repository of Awoken in the world, making it essential — and feared. Many believe that its secrets may explain the origin of the powers… and perhaps control them.

Sector: Global security, registration of Awakened, threat containment. Current Status: Active / Influential / Most powerful organization of the New Era Formed by an international coalition, the Heliopolis Authority is the entity responsible for classifying superhumans and determining risk levels. It acts as police, mediator, and rapid response force in crises involving Awakened. It has global bases, intervention units, scientific departments, and special courts. Its influence is so great that some countries see it as a parallel government, above national decisions.

Sector: Global Defense, Specialized Tactical Force. Current Status: Active / Highly Selective Cerberus is the elite force subordinate to the E.A. Its function is to deal with Hydra, Typhon, and Kronos threats. It is composed of highly trained humans and a small number of authorized Awakened. Cerberus is known for its swift, stealthy, and sometimes ruthless interventions.

Sector: Genetic research, mapping hereditary powers. Current Status: Active / Respected Created after the Rebirth Era, the Orion Institute is dedicated to studying the genetic inheritance of Awoken abilities, assisting families, special schools, and governments in understanding hereditary risks and variations. It is a non-militarized organization focused on research and education. It is considered the most reliable center for data on Awoken. Huntress, the Predator, is a villain known for her savage aesthetic and association with indigenous peoples. According to herself, she is a species of human beings that has prevailed since the beginning of time; her hatred for current society stems from how things have "decayed," and what we call evolution she calls "stupidity." To this day, there are doubts about her whereabouts, since she was in fact born before the HNS-38 incident, but she possesses superhuman physical capabilities. She has a wide arsenal with a variety of simple weapons such as knives and swords, and a keen hunting instinct. She is considered a Level 1 villain, Fenrir. All that is known is that Huntress's real name is Salali, likely without a surname, as well as her age, background, and personal information.

Vitracid, the Corrosive Lady, is a villain popularly known for her ability to create toxic gases and acidic liquids capable of corroding metals and even bones. She firmly believes that the world's salvation will only come from her acid, and that the best way to do this is by corroding the entire world. She is considered a Level 1 villain, Fenrir, but it is known that her power, in the wrong hands, could become a Level 5 threat, Kronos. Her real name is Helena Marenko, age approximately 19 to 23 years old. Knowledge of her past is quite limited; little is known about her origins. It is believed that she was a brilliant mind in the field of biochemistry, but that something happened in the HNS-38 incident that transformed her into Vitracid. The substance that Vitracid creates using her powers was named Voracid V-13. She didn't name it; it's the popular name given to it in the laboratory.

The Ripper, on the villains' side, is a speedster in a black suit with golden lightning bolts, his mask exuding intimidation. He is a lunatic, murderous psychopath, popularly known for causing countless deaths and calamities for no reason—pure amusement. Being a speedster, faster than the eye can follow, his abilities are inconceivable and completely unpredictable, making him a threat worthy of Level 4, Typhon, with strong potential to be a Level 5, Kronos threat. The Ripper's past and origins are completely unknown, as are his true identity and name. It's as if he didn't exist before HNS-38, but it's a fact that something during that event created the catastrophic Ripper. His name comes from "Rip," associated with his appearances of "ripping" through the air around him with his speed.
