The year is 2301 and the location is central Europe amidst the several years reformed World Coalition after the utter destruction of half the world via nuclear holocaust, the current world population is estimated to be around four billion. The estimated percentage of which have genetically mutated and developed ESP is around 33%.

ESP? Extra Sensory Perception, Telekinesis, Mind Reading, the manipulation of things. ESP makes usage of a pituitary gland within the human brain. This gland labelled the E-Gland enhances the current five senses and assists in developing the additional sense, the 'psychic' sense via means secreting a substance which gradually alters the persons DNA over time. this abnormal genetic development has caused controversy, intrigue, fear, anger and out right hatred amongst the masses and educated alike. However ESP has been recognised as some put it, the next jump in human evolution and to put matters at ease the Coalition, being unable to hide it or deny such widespread information has taken steps to handle it.

However as many realised the applications of ESP is, to put bluntly, useful to many with their hand in the pot. As years progressed and the understanding of ESP developed, studies were formed to research the phenomena, ESPers, the term given to those with the ability were used like lab rats as they were dissected, mutilated and abused in secrecy by those whom groped for power at the reformed seat of power of the world. This was not just one group, but many, each and every nation had their own studies and there were several conclusions they all came to;

- ESP developed due to the radioactive fallout of the 3rd World War.
- ESP only developed in the next generation and their children from there on, a person could not mutate into having ESP, however they could develop the regressive genes to pass on to children.
- The closer the parents were to the fallout, the more powerful their offspring would be if they developed the ESP genes.
- ESP power can be raised or lowered based on age, a younger mind is not fully developed and lacks the proficiency to make use of AND generate the power needed. Likewise an older mind lacks the ability to generate power but may have the knowledge. People are best suited between the ages of 18-55.

Most importantly however was this,

- With enough samples, ESP genes could be replicated and with cloning technology and improved upon.

As such, each country began their own developments in the fields of genetics and ESP, agents were planted, information was stolen or bartered for and the black market became ripe and it was this that allowed the development of a singular defining point in ESPers that would shake the foundations so far.



The Zero Gene was a break through by a mad german scientist, via means none too favourable and too unspeakable to mention, he developed something that could not be replicated again, even by himself. The Zero Gene in comparison to current ESPers was like the comparison of a missile to a kitchen knife, both had different purposes yet both could be deadly on a different scale.

This Zero Gene, soon to be codenamed The Z-Gene by the EPC - Earth Psychic Committee - as information was hacked or leaked to the outside became both a want and a fear to many. Some craved the genes for their own experiments for the perfect soldier, some feared others may do just that. The objective became quite simple, capture or kill the Zero Subjects Subjects. The elite of the elite ESPers were dispatched by every nation, company and private group and the resulting battle was bloody and swift. In the aftermath however, the Zero Subjects had escaped into the populace forever to be hounded and hunted by those who craved nothing more than to use them by whatever means for their own ends.

Escaped, some melded into the populace, others seek work in the ESP field. Some after tantalizing rumours and offers might go to the very organisations whom might of killed if not for the obvious benefits.

4. no OOC in the IC thread, contain all OOC within the OOC thread if you will, THIS IS YOUR WARNING.
5. Activity, I expect regular posting - atleast a post every 2-3 days.
6. Post Length, minimum of atleast TWO paragraphs, literacy is a plus. I do not joke with this, crappy posts will get you removed.
7. Inactivity, PM me or post in the OOC thread if you'll be inactive for a period of three days or more please.
8. Found something missing, want to add it? post here or PM me about the idea and we'll discuss it, don't be afraid to try and add something, worst that can happen is i'll say no.
