Superpower

[close] THERE IS NO GENE. super powers aren't passed from parent to child by their genetic coding. it isn't hereditary. just as there is no gene for being gay. oddly enough, it appears the two go hand-in-hand, as no cishets had displayed any form of 'queerness,' a term that had become associated with how members of the LGBTQ+ community began displaying strange and otherworldly abilities. queerness seems to be more mystical in nature, magical in origin. THERE IS NO CURE. though that hasn't stopped the government from trying to find a way to ride the world of superpowers and magic. attempts to find a way to check for it were done, all failing as the source of queerness isn't found in DNA, but in the immaterial essence of the immortal soul, not the ephemeral body. even still, people desire to find an end to this epidemic of strangeness, as not all use their gifts for good, but for selfish, perverse reasons. as the origin of queerness is revealed, those gifted with it must make a choice, to serve their own desires, or a far greater calling. what will YOU decide?

[close] 75 years ago people were given powers to adapt to the new earth that is dying, everyone lived in harmony. It was perfect. Until just 15 years ago on February 29 the babies born on that were born with flawed powers. They started a facility for these babies, they were all kidnapped at once, it was overnight. All of their family was killed so "no more children could be like this". They called the facility Safe Place For The Cursed. Except it wasn't safe. The people who ran it used them like tools, weapons and so much more. Now everyone with "good" powers calls the people heroes. They are not. Looking for people to help me!

[close] ❝ Yᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀʟᴏɴᴇ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ❞ It is the year 2081, and the world is in turmoil. There has been an increasing number of mutant births. These humans, called Homo superior, are the next step in human evolution. The Humans, Homo sapiens, fear these mutated freaks, calling them abominations and sins against nature. In their confusion and fear, they persecute them and oppress them. Dear Mutant, There’s more of us than you think. We are all around you. They could be your friends, your relatives, and even your enemies. Why are they keeping it a secret, you ask? It's just the same reason as you. The human world has become too harsh on us, treating us like lab rats or freaks. Soon enough, they'll decide to wipe us out because they think we're too dangerous. It makes the world unsafe for us to remain in hiding, so I'm inviting you to a sanctuary for people like you. You won't be on your own at this school, where we offer safety and kindness to young mutants that are seeking help. If you want to be protected, join us here and finally be accepted for what you truly are. You will never be alone again. Sincerely, Headmaster
