They appear to be seven rather normal teenagers living in the London alleyways. They scavenge for food from the dumpsters and have no shame in shoplifting necessities. They have no need for useless luxuries. They live a simple poverty-stricken lifestyle and yet they are as pleased as anything with it.
Little do they know, each of them possesses one extraordinary ability or aptitude greater than any of the most genius of humans. Where did these abilities/aptitudes originate from? No one knows and few even realize that these teenagers, whose abilities are both a blessing and a curse, exist with the powers.
But the certain few who do know of these teenagers are the members of the Salacin Corporation. These members originate from the Research & Development branch of the Salacin Corporation. The Researchers have a goal in mind. They want to use these seven special teens to create a very small but very forceful army to use against the government, in hopes of overthrowing it and taking the power for themselves. The teenagers are not aware of these plans.
Location
The teenagers spend their time before entrance into the Compound on the streets of London, England. However, when the Researchers move them, they are entered into an old, abandoned castle on moors some north of London. This is called the Compound.
Spoiler! :
Abilities/Aptitudes
You may have only one ability/aptitude. Not one of each and they must not be too powerful. For example, if your person possesses an aptitude in hunting, it wouldn't be totally fair if your character could always shoot an animal or if distance didn't bother them. Still stick to reality, a bit
The difference between:
Abilities: An ability is more like a "super hero power" in a way, I guess. It is something that is more magical in characteristics. For example, an ability could be mind-reading or telepathy.
Aptitudes: An aptitude is genius in a certain skill, like cooking or hunting. They excel at this more natural thing. An example could be that the person never fails at calculating good "game" plans, but yet they cannot quite predict the opponent's exact move. Prediction/future-telling would be more of an ability.
Be aware that your ability or aptitude should not be too good to be true
