There are special people in this world.
We don't ask to be special. We're just born this way. We pass you on the streets every day, unnoticed by most.
It started in 1945.
The Nazis were conducting experiments in psychic warfare, trying to turn those with psychic abilities into soldiers.
Lots of us died.
The war ended, but the experiments never stopped.
Other governments around the world set up what they called "Divisions", trying to do what the Nazis couldn't, to turn us into weapons.
Division's agents are trained to track and hunt us down like animals; take us away from our families and friends. There are children stuffed away all over the world. They test us and categorize us.
I'm what they call a "watcher". We can see the future, even if that's not always as simple as it sounds.
Others are called "movers", just an easy way of saying "telekinetic".
"Pushers" put thoughts in your head and make whatever lie they come up with the truth. They'd already begun to control my mind.
"Sniffs", "shifters", "shadows", "bleeders", it goes on and on.
In Division's eyes, we're all just lab rats.
Only one problem: We keep dying. No one has ever survived the drug meant to boost our powers.

The plot
Until the Division got their hands on a first generation Pusher. She was, and still is, the only person to have ever survived the drug. They call her X. She is the director of the Division.
This was twenty years ago. Since then, numerous Pushers, Bleeders, Watchers, Shifters, Wipers, Movers, Sniffs, Stitchers, and Shadowers have died after injection, their bodies unable to absorb the drug.
The first generation is the first wave of these mutants. They are ultimately the strongest. They have also been almost entirely wiped out by the Division. The children they produce become the second generation and they aren't as strong as the first; they require more practice to master their powers. But what they lack in experience, they make up for with their numbers. Many are scattered across the globe. They make up 23% of the earth's population.
X is not happy. She has witnessed the weakness of the second generation and even come across a child born into the third. Their powers are diminishing and will soon die out by the forth or fifth generation.
X does not like this, and she will stop at nothing until the drug is perfected and can be injected into a mutant without fear of rejection.
When the humans found out about X's cruel experiments on mutants, and even on humans, it caused an uproar. Many demanded that the Division be shut down, and eventually the government did shut it down. Once that happened, all the attention turned to the mutants. How long had they been apart of this world? Why were they allowed to run free and do things like start up secret organizations and experiments on humans? Due to fear of the mutants rising up and taking over the world, the government secretly met up to vote on whether the mutants should be deported or exterminated.
A decision was never issued, because X had spies in the meeting, and once she heard of the options, she immediately declared war against all humans.
Five years have passed since then, and the war has taken more mutant casualties than humans. There are roughly about 364 mutants, with less than 20 first generations. They live in exile, hiding their powers, trying to blend in with the humans. But the government isn't fooled. They know that there are mutants out there and they won't stop until every last flame is extinguished and the fire dies out.
Where your character comes in
X is still alive, and so is the Division. They're hiding in a secret base somewhere, unknown to everyone. They're still working on the drug. In fact, X has been kidnapping humans and testing it on them. Many have died. This is how the government knows mutants are still around, because of the disappearances.
Recently, there's been a whisper amongst the mutants. That X has perfected the drug. That she is calling all mutants to her base, located in a small rundown town in Illinois.
Are you in?
A basic synopsis
You've heard the rumors that X is still alive and that the Division has perfected the drug meant to enhance your powers. Tired of living in poverty and unable to use your abilities, you travel to Claremont, Illinois in the hopes of finding her.
Once you come across her, though.. well, we'll get to that in good time.
The Mutants
Spoiler! :
The Generations
The first generation are the ones first born with these abilities. They've got complete control and are considered "masters" at it. They are ultimately the strongest a mutant will ever be without the drug. They have been almost completely wiped out by the humans and Division alike, and are extremely rare, hence the spot limitation.
The second generation are the children of the firsts, and they are the ones who struggle with their powers. Their abilities are limited but their numbers are many.
