"Where does it come from, this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not doubting, not yearning. That's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here."
In recent days, a seemingly random group of individuals have emerged with what can only be described as "special" abilities. Although unaware of it now, these individuals will not only save the world, but change it forever. This transformation from ordinary to extraordinary will not occur overnight. Every story has a beginning. This is yours.
Through the Human Genome Project, Chennai University Professor Mohinder Suresh has successfully located and confronted several of those people; although hundreds and possibly even thousands of people still exist out there that have yet to be discovered. However, that state of ignorance will soon be thrown away as more and more people begin to discover and control their powers.
Many people want to discover these people, for both beneficial and malicious reasons. One such group is Organization Without Initials, or the OWI, headed by the mysterious Linderman Group. The OWI's duty is to track down and monitor the activity of these people who have been gifted with powers. To do so, the OWI captures and most often erases the memories of those they found, gives them an injection to increase their power and track them down, and releases them back into the world to see how they react afterward.
The opposition of the OWI is a clandestine group known as the Resistance, who blame the OWI for the development of their abilities and wishes to destroy them. This group is known simply as the Resistance, and is led by Hana Gitelman, formerly of the OWI. This group is not to be trifled with, as they will do anything and everything to take down the OWI.
There is also a relatively small group of people that know about these people with extraordinary abilities who view them as a threat that must be eliminated. Although their numbers are few, they are not to be underestimated.
There are also those out there who think they are alone with their powers, don't want to take a side, think they alone know of the presence of super humans, or don't realize there are sides that exist.
This story will progress according to the way YOU play it. It's your path, your choice. Who will live and who will die depends on you. Are you up for the challenge? What path will you carve? Or, the most important question of all:
Are you on the list?
