The One Thousand

Q
QueenOfHeavens

Apocalypse averted? But at what cost. Teens awaken with powers, facing a new world of mutant beasts.


Author's Note: Your story begins at what everyone largely saw as the end of the world. There was a bright flash that lit up the night sky like day as thousands of missiles to save humanity collided with a ginormous asteroid entering our atmosphere. You wake up two years later and find out that the crisis was averted, but a new crisis of similar proportions was created. The asteroid was carrying a never-before-seen element, mixed with earth's radiation. It caused genetic mutations wiping out most of humanity and put every other living being in hibernation for two years. For starters all adults are dead, only a thousand people under 18 survived globally, and the thousand of you that survived, wake up with unique powers. The only problem is that you're not the only ones that same phenomenon gave powers, it also mutated all other organisms and they were also in hibernation for as long as you are, leaving them ravenous. Will you focus on Survival, Rebuilding, or Uniting with others to face new threats? Will you seek a Cure to reverse mutations and restore the planet? Or navigate Moral Choices? Uncover Hidden Powers or establish a Safe Haven. Whatever you do, a mysterious entity is watching you.. For realistic immersion when creating a character, I recommend using a 1-100 random number generator to get your class. 1-70 = Basic, 71-90 = Superior, 91-98 = Dragon, 99 = God, and 100 = Titan. Primordial Class is left out as its an intentional power fantasy class vs simply accidently being powerful like Titan and God Class.

Description

A bustling hub of activity in the Sancuary of hope with survivors haggling over goods, services, and information. Stalls sell scavenged goods, homemade crafts, and rare items salvaged from the pre-apocalyptic world. The Sanctuary of Hope is a fortified settlement nestled against the remnants of an old military bunker. Here, 167 young superpowered superhumans band together under the leadership of two opposing factions, each led by Dexter and Joana, who advocate for their own visions of how to thrive in this harsh world. Whenever a menacing 'big red' storm approaches, the haven offers refuge, but tensions between the factions simmer beneath the surface, creating an atmosphere charged with both hope and conflict.

Appearance

The market is lively with colorful stalls, the smell of cooking food, and the sounds of bartering. Survivors move about, carrying their wares and exchanging stories.
