[u][b]Prologue:[/b][/u] The Law of Opposites is a fundamental, underlying aspect of the universe: Positive and Negative, True and False, Light and Darkness, Good and Evil, and everything that lies between opposed extremes. There exist those who would seek to control or alter this Law, to upset the balance for their own goals. In the shadows, the never-ending War of Opposites has raged on, however, soon it will surface and plunge a peaceful community into chaos, and change the fate of a handful of young people forever. [u][b]Setting:[/b][/u] Blossom Hills is a quiet suburban community situated in Woodstone County. It has its fair share of rich history but has recently gone through some recent modern renovations making for a clean, green, and convenient place to live. Less than half an hour away from both a nature preserve, and the urban powerhouse that is downtown Woodstone, residents of Blossom Hills have a lot of freedom to choose their lifestyle, whether it's outdoor recreation, fast-paced city life, or anything in between. The new and experimental Blossom Hills Education Center is an award-winning institution combining High, Middle, Elementary, and Pre-school into one massive campus, though other public and private schools exist as alternatives. Woodstone County is a large county bordering the ocean and is centered around Woodstone city and its surrounding suburbs. The county is a major industrial, agricultural and financial center and is a melting pot for many different cultures. Woodstone is a trendsetter, at the forefront of practically any field, whether it is technology and research, city planning, fashion, or anything else you can think of. There are several famous universities and colleges in the county, as well as several different sports teams. The outskirts of the county have various natural environments including the beaches and oceans, deserts further inland, forests rising up to snow-capped mountains as well as the marshlands where the river flows to the sea.

The theme is dichotomies, so follow the CS below and pick a dichotomy. Your characters should be between the ages of 10-16. Your characters will grow stronger over time, either with the addition of more dichotomies, or just new and imaginative ways to use them. You will start with two abilities, an Alpha and an Omega, one representing each extreme. I am completely open to help brainstorm ideas and explain anything in more detail or give examples if anyone has questions.
