[@Nemaisare] Had to dig this up from the first 'Vigilance-Universe' based RPs.

[b]| 1916 |[/b] - First confirmed finding of a North American Hyperhuman. While the finding is considered by many to simply be Crypto-Zoology, others turn and point to myths of beings who accomplished great feats. Further efforts are put forth to find and locate other specimens for study.

[b]| 1938 |[/b] - Research into Hyperhumans concludes that they are infected and leads to many being quarantined and experimented upon. This is most notable in Germany where Adolf Hitler used the Hyperhuman scare to push his personal agenda forward and exercise his vendetta on the Jewish people, rounding them up into concentration camps and subjecting them to cruel treatments and inhuman experiments.

[b]| 1945 |[/b] - World War II is brought to an end when the Americans dropped Hyperhuman weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These hyperhumans had been coerced into numerous experiments and eventually turned into living weapons. As such no 'atomic bomb' or any 'weapon of mass destruction' was created and instead the world's arms race revolved around the manipulation and experimentation of Hyperhumans whose lives were valued at less than those of the regular human being.

[b]| 1951 |[/b] - Hyperhumans and Humans are seen as separate species with governments becoming hostile towards Hyperhumans, afraid and paranoid of their abilities despite having previously used them to help settle World War II. 'Inter-species' relationships between Homo Sapiens and Homo Virium is outlawed throughout most of North America and Europe as well as all of Asia, South America and Oceania.

[b]| 1977 |[/b] - The Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics & Protection Department better known as H.E.L.P. is founded, a joint creation between the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Canadian National Defence.

[b]| 1979 |[/b] - H.E.L.P. creates several small divisions under itself including the special ops, Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce which is abbreviated as S.H.I.F.T. Additionally, the Equality and Rights Division and the Logistics and Research Division are set up.

[b]| 1986 |[/b] - Creation of the Pacific Royal Collegiate in Northern British Columbia, Canada. P.R.C. is meant to be used as a safe school environment for Hyperhumans and welcomes those seeking an education in a non-discriminatory environment. To an extent, the school also serves as an asylum from the world for those who have been persecuted.

[b]| 1988 |[/b] - The Hyperhuman Education & Advanced Training or H.E.A.T. program is proposed and created as a joint effort with H.E.L.P. This not only grants P.R.C. the ability to teach hyperhumans but also to help them control their developing abilities. Thanks to H.E.L.P. many of these students could go on to work for the organization including the ops division known as S.H.I.F.T.

[b]| 1999 |[/b] - Pacific Royal Collegiate is expanded to include University becoming Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. Construction completed of separate male and female dorms for these students.

[b]| 2004 |[/b] - Construction of A.R.C. begins.

[b]| 2006 |[/b] - Increased enrollment leads to construction of University age Co-Ed dorm.

[b]| 2012 |[/b] - A.R.C. is completed and becomes an integral part of the H.E.A.T. program.

Essentially since the early 1900's the scientific community and select members of government have known about the existence of Hyperhumans though they have no understood them. That was until the late 1970's when H.E.L.P. was created as the first of its kind and although other countries tried to follow suit none were as successful as H.E.L.P. was leading it to become a world wide initiative after the Kowalski attacks in 2014. As of 1980's the general public began to see confirmed sightings with communities exiling them which in Canada lead to the creation of the Pacific Royal Collegiate and University as a safe haven and institution for Hyperhumans. Until 2014, the general public preferred to dismiss Hyperhumans as sort of a boogeyman due to their rarity however Kowalski opened their eyes to the real threat of them. As a result, the general public fears the Hyperhuman meaning those with visible developments are essentially shunned from society to this day. 

Hope that answers your questions.
