Formerly known as New York City, it’s name changed twenty years ago, when a massive portal to the Alter Realm opened in the center of the city. From this portal, beings of all different shapes, sizes and powers began to flood into our world. Now, we humans co-exist with them, as our worlds have merged almost completely. But with these new residents, new problems arose. Although our world leaders co-existed and negotiated with theirs, these individuals brought in strange powers and crime levels began to rise all throughout the city. While we adapted to each other, it was realized that we would need a new type of task force. Thus, Libra was created. Libra is a secretive organization centered in Hellsalem’s lot. Some of these trained professionals have mastered a technique called the Blood Arts, a type of power that came from the Alter Realms, involving the use of one’s blood to create destructive, almighty weaponry. However, those who have not chosen to train using these techniques are also immensely capable individuals. Those who are in Libra are always worthy opponents that should never be underestimated. These secretive agents both work inside and outside of the city, and there are rumors that they have secret bases stationed all throughout the world. However, due to how little is known about them, their secrets are worth billions to the underground world… However, Libra doesn’t typically get along with law enforcement. Although they are typically left alone by the government due to how they protect the general populace, most law enforcement agents consider them to be mavericks that have taken the law into their own hands. Yet, they will cooperate if the circumstances are severe enough. Even some major government officials are wary of Libra. Welcome to Hellsalem’s Lot, where life is never dull. [b]explanations[/b] [i]Blood Arts; [/i]the Blood Arts are a type of power that descended from the Alter Realms. Originally, it was created by a demon called Principium. However, Principium passed these powers down to individuals of both good and bad character, purely to create chaos among the world. These Blood Arts have been passed down for a few generations now, and while they are a great weapon against the evils of the world, there are also antagonists who have mastered these abilities. The Blood Arts typically involve pricking one’s own skin and manipulating the blood. However, there are different ways to do this. Some people have sophisticated weapons that have mechanical mechanisms that prick the skin, and other people blatantly slash their own skin in order to create their weapon. Generally, there is a wide variety of weapons that can be created. Heavier fighters tend to go with weapons that suit them more, such as axes or even using their own fists in some manner, while lighter fights might use daggers and such. It generally takes an extended amount of time to successfully create a weapon, and it’ll take even longer to learn how to wield it. It’s incredibly rare that someone can create more than one weapon, with only one recorded case that some even regard as only being a myth. [i]Libra; [/i]the organization of Libra is one that is run separately from the governments of the world. Due to this, they are also pursued by the police at times. Yet, major government officials tend to leave the agents of Libra alone, because of how well they can handle the chaos that emerges from the Alter Realm. Not all Libra members use the Blood Arts, but all of them are known to be incredibly powerful. They are all formidable foes. But it’s incredibly rare that someone can actually track down members of Libra. If Libra has taken an interest in someone, they will approach that person, not the other way around. Libra operates around the world, but they’re centered in Hellsalem’s Lot, where most of the chaos emerges from the Alter Realm. Often, they are forced to negotiate or quarrel with underground groups that engage in illegal actions. Libra’s main concern has always been with creating a balance between Earth and the Alter Realms. They do not put humanity above individuals and creatures that come from the Alter Realm. [i]The Blood Conglomerate[/i]; A terrifying organization that comes from the Alter Realm. The Blood Conglomerate was created by several blood breeds that managed to get over their differences and cooperate. Using their advanced powers and the assistance of Quillan Smithereens alongside other members, they've managed to get a cult following. At times, they're able to broadcast on televisions across the globe, spreading their messages and trying to sway others into joining their cause. [i]The All Seeing Eyes of God;[/i] The All Seeing Eyes of God is an artifact that is given to individuals by the demon Riga El Menuhyut. These powerful artifacts are only given by Riga El Menuhyut when a major cataclysm happens in the world. Those who hold the eyes are known to be observers to history. But in exchange for the eyes, Riga El Menuhyut blinds the person who is closest to the holder. These eyes are capable of seeing the “truth’ of the world, and they give the holders numerous abilities including heightened visual senses, allowing them to see impossibly fast movements that no one else would usually be able to see, and allows them to see into the past or the future. Eye holders are also capable of altering and controlling the vision of those around them, and projecting what the user sees into the minds of others. They can see through illusions. However, if the user overuses their powers, their brain can become damaged. After the user first gets the eyes, it takes their brain weeks to adjust to them. The eyes are incredibly valuable. There have been fifty-three known cases throughout the world. There have been several times when eye holders have been killed for their powers, or when eye holders have overloaded themselves, causing the eyes to crack and become damaged beyond repair. [i]Auras; [/i]Auras are the life force that radiates off of every living being. Usually, only those who have the All Seeing Eyes can see others’ auras. But there are certain species that can also detect auras and such. Auras are all different colors. There are thousands of different aura colors within the world, but those who have the All Seeing Eyes can usually tell the difference between each and every one of them. The two rarest colors are #FF0000 and #FFFFFF. #FF0000 or absolute red is the color of blood breeds, also known as pure vampires. And #FFFFFF or pure white is the color of godly beings.
