The year was 2020 and World War 3 had finally begun. It wasn't long before everyone was bombing each other once again. Japan decided to bomb a couple nuclear power plants in the United States, killing many of our people. However, this had a different effect than Japan planned on. As radiation filled the air, side effects started to show in younger generations. When sick children and teens were brought to hospitals, there were reports of a glowing child and a girl who could fly. The government was quick to take as many of them as they could personally to their own classified hospital where scientists looked into what was happening. They never saw their parents again. The scientists came to the conclusion that something in the radiation turned on genes they had never discovered before. They had yet to see older people develop these strange abilities. As the children grew, they were raised in labs and taught to control their powers. The older ones were used to their advantage as soldiers in the war. The war ended in 2029. Over the years, there had been even more reports. They multiplied by the minute. Kids everywhere in the country were developing these abilities. The government knew they had to keep this hidden from the public. These powers could be a menace to others and they just couldn't allow the children to run through the streets. Thus, a very large school was created along with a branch in the government specifically in charge of finding and bringing mutated children to the school. This school was named Darkwood Academy. It is located in isolated area in North Carolina. They would live here and train here to control their powers. Some of those in the first generation were assigned mentoring roles at the Academy, some into the military, while others were assigned into the new branch of government, Trackers. Of course all of this was very classified. No one other than those afflicted with the mutation, government officials and doctors knew of this. One day, you start to feel horribly sick. Suffering from a high fever, nausea, and most flu symptoms, you're taken to the hospital. You're examined and then deemed okay. However, you miss the secret conversation between doctors trying to figure out if you too are one of the mutated. After being given some medicine to take, you go home. Next day, two suited men arrive at your door. They tell you to pack your bags and say goodbye to your parents. You're going to Darkwood Academy. Darkwood Academy is probably one of the biggest schools ever built. Equipped with anything you could ever dream of being in a school, it's not the worst place to live in. However, a place full of all different kinds of personalities from all across the country could be a hazardous one. Especially if those mentioned are given dangerous, superhuman abilities. Students range from ages 8-18. Classes are grouped as ages 8-13 and then ages 14-18 when it comes to training and power-oriented classes. When it comes to basic education such as with mathematics and sciences, you are grouped with a grade like normal schools. One might say this is basically a normal school with just some extra classes added in. They would be wrong. Some are suspicious of the government's intentions and some are outraged at the idea of being plucked from their lives to be forced to come here. Meanwhile, some people brought here are just plain crazy. The radiation had some funky effects on a few people. They may act normal but the moment they look at you, they start to formulate plans to hurt you. What happens next is up to you. [b]FORM[/b] When it comes to classes, most classes are the same as one might take in a normal public school. However, there are some required ones. Everyone is required to take a swimming class, a hand-to-hand combat class, a power training class, and some sort of weapon-oriented class such as archery or fencing. There is one breakfast period at 7 am, a lunch at 12pm and a dinner at 6pm. Bed checks at 10 pm for those younger then 12 and 11pm for those older.
